Every year in larger numbers people
come from town and country to visit
the assembly. Lincoln park then by a
few magic touches becomes a white
city of tented homes. For the short
space of a week these visitors go into
camp and proceed to enjoy the outdoor
life that once belonged to primitive
man. The question naturally arises is
it the religious features alone that
brings this great crowd, or Is it the
lectures, the sweet singing of the
quartets or the plaintive notes of the
jubilee singers?
The attractions for these bright and
happy young folks and those of more
mature years are many. A short perloJ
before the date of opening of the as
sembly these good people from out of
town begin to plan for a few days of
enjoyment and In retrospect they recall
the pleasures of camp life of a previous
season, the meeting of friend with
friend, the reunion with near and dear
relatives, and the unconventional ex
istence that it is possible to lead under
blue skies and the lazy enjoyment af
forded a camper of lying under a big
tree and communing with nature.
The visitors apear to enjoy them
selves wherever they are; It may be at
the large tent listening to an inspiring
. service, strolling about the beautiful
grounds, or resting in the cool shad
ows of their temporary home. To them
this short sojourn at Lincoln park is
an event in their lives that lingers in
the memory long after they return to
their homes. While they are the guests
of the assembly they find much time
to look over the city. They gather In
spiration by walking or riding through
the broad and shaded streets and ad
miring the cosy and beautiful homes.
They find, too. It Is Interesting to look
over the state capltol, make the rounds
of the various offices In the building
and, perhaps, take a peep at the gev
ernor. The penitentiary Is an interest
ing place to see and the convicts, sullen
and heavy jawed, are an object of great
interest and curiosity. The insane asy
lum is always an institution that sight
seers wish to Inspect. Besides the many
public buildings, a pilgrimage to the
new home of Lincoln's first citizen,
William J. Bryan, Is in order. Then
come the suburb of University Place
and Wesleyan university. Cotner, the
seat of learning of the Christian de
nomination; Union college, the Advent
educational Institution, and the great
Nebraska state university, and other
points of interest too numerous to men
tion. All these attractions are as a
rule taken in by the Epworth assembly
visitor and he finds it pleasant and
profitable to see everything worth see
ing when in the capital city.
Many Lincoln people do not seem to
realize the good that contact and asso
ciation with their annual visitors may
do them. It is to be regretted that a
large number of the citizens take no in
terest In the assembly whatever, and
never think of going out and mingling
with the happy and enthusiastic crowd
that is to be seen there. Some people
from town join the campers and make
many warm friends by coming in con
tact with the young and vigorous life
that attends these yearly assemblies
and find a source of Inspiration there.

lace. Blouse waist Is tucked, with tucked yoke of plain crepe. Very odd
new sleeve. The underskirt Is of soft silk to match.

The center of aristocracy and wealth
has been definitely fixed by the county
assessors. It is in the Fifth ward. On
the schedule which the assessor pre
sents to each taxpayer or household Is
a column under which the person Is
Instructed to list his or her diamonds
and jewelry and to swear that the
.figure Is correct.
With the county assessors each per
son is supposed to put In the property
at one-fifth of Its actual value. If the
returns now on file with the county
clerk are to be taken as true and cor
rect then the diamond and Jewelry
stores In this city must lose a tremen
dous amount of money. The total value
of all of the diamonds and Jewelry
owned in the city is but a little over
$6,000, using the multiple of five on the
total returns.
The Seventh ward has the distinc
tion of being without the hallmark of
aristocracy. No one within its con
fines owns either a valuable diamond
or a piece of costly jewelry. Maybe
some of those stones that you have
seen glittering on Seventh ward bo
soms are real, but If the assessor is
right they are naught but paste.
The First ward boasts of but small
holdings In this line. C. D. Hyatt and
Joe Samuels are the only ones who own
diamonds and Jewelry.
In the Second ward the list is almost
as brief. Mrs. Ella K. Blllingsley. Dr.
R. S. Grimes and George H. Rogers
are the only ones partial to this style
of personal adornment.
The Third ward is more pretentious.
There ten families report the posses
sion of these articles of dazzling ac
claim. They are E. Benjamin Andrews,
C. E. Bessey, Webster Eaton, J. R. El
lison, Lee G. Graham, A. E. Har
greaves, G. M. Lambertson, I. M. Ray
mond. H. J. Winnett and Frank C.
Zehrung.
The Fourth ward returns are aston
ishing. Only one man In Its confines
boasts of diamonds and jewelry, that
is. if returning them for assessment

I am glad to see a man
Always look the best he can,
Ever wearing on his face a smile
serene;
And I'm always proud of those
Who are fond of decent clothes,
Taking pains to keep their Sunday
linen clean.
This old earth has ample use
For the fellow who looks spruce.
While the slouchy man is ever
shunned and feared.
