She Wanted Comedy.

Three months ago, when a new serv-
ant girl came to well-to-do family,
says an exchange, the mistress said she
desired to post the girl in advance on
one certain little point. She and her
husband belonged to an amateur theat-
rical company, and in case Jane heard
any racket around the house she must
not imagine they were quarreling they
would simply be rehearsing their parts.
The play began on the third evening
of the girls engagement. The husband
tainted his wife with extravaganza, and
she said he played poker for money,
and chairs were upset and footstools
were kicked around, and threats were
made of 'tgoing home to mother. -
Next morning the mistress said to the
girl:
Ibid you hear us playing our parts
In The Wronged Wife last night?''
.sYes'mr
1T was simply arehearsal, youknow;
and you mustn't think strange of my
throwing vase at my husband and cali
ing him vile wretch!''
Three or four nights after that the
curtain went up on play called 1.-THE
Jealous HUSBAND and Jane heard sobs,
signs, protestations, threats, and ex-
carnations. The next play was entitled
Coming Home Tight" and was mostly
PLAYED in the front hall. Then followed
1.-The Depths of Despair" Threats of
Divorce and such Wretchr' until
Jane was at last tired of having pri-
vate box and of being the only audi
ence. The other morning she appear
ed in the sitting room with her hat on
and her bundle under her arm, and
said:
please, ma'am, but I'm going this
morning.
what! going awayp'
Yes mi''
s.For what reasonp''
please, ma am! but I'm tired of
tragedy; I'm girl as naturally likes to
see hugging and kissing and love-mak-
ing, on the stage. and wheQ Marks the
Lawyer comes in on what-do-you-call-it
I'm sure to be tickled to DEATH think
I1ltry some family where they rehearse
comedy and have a deal of kissing. and
perhaps may come in as a .supe,- and
get small share of it for myselfr'-

MOLINE MERIT.

On Saturday last a large delegation o
Moline Turner's and two classes left fo
Peoria. That they did good work there
the following dispatches will prove:
PEORIA, May 29.-First in calesthenics
first in class turning. Can't tell as to
others. G. K. GRANT,.
At seven o'clock in the evening the fol
lowing telegram was received:
Moline boys o. K. so far.
g. f. ADELMAN.
From the nature of the above dispatches
it seems that Moline has again beaten
Peoria. The classes and their friends will
arrive in Moline this evening, and a recep.
ton will be rendered them.

prospective; also the needs and require
ments of this county in common with all
newly settled regions. The advantages
possessed, and which affords such desirable
opportunities to practical farmers, me-
chanics and business men are reviewed,
and brief perusal Of the article can but
convince any Of those who may desire 10

county and village can be found just such
openings as they may be in search Of. A
progressive and rapidly developing region
such rs is described one which is advanc-
ing each year with a growth almost phe.
neMenal; one that gives unmistakable evil

the county, US shown by the appended

the promising future, while the fact that
great railroad corporations are pushing
their lines into this the Park Region" of

Of their faith in the country, and sure
