UNITE TIE STRINGS said one OF
the most successful merchants Of Cleve-
land, Oaio, to lad who was openinp o
parcel: Young man, unite strings; do
not cut them
1t was the FIRST remark that he hsd
made to his new employee. 1t was the
first lesson Tie lad had to learn. and il
involved the princip .es OF success or fail:
ure in his business career. Pointing
TO well dressed man behind the coun.
ter, he said
There is nan who always wkips out
his scissors and cuts the strings on the
packages in three or four places. lie
is good Salesman, but he will never
be anything more. Iprcsqme he lives
from hand to mouth, and is more or less
in debt. The trouble with Linn is that
he was never taught 10 save.
Il told the boy just nov to unite the
strings, not SO much for the value Of In q
string as to teach him that everything IS
TO be saved and nothing wasted. little
idea can be firmly depressed upon the
mind OF beginner in life tia. nothin,
YVES made TO be wasted, you have laid The
foundation Of Success

His name is l.. P. Bergstom and at one

Moline He owned pretty good building
on Fifteenth street in that city, but some
how or another he got into de5t and the
place was mortgaged. After that he
seems to have went into the crooked bus
mess extensively. He induced his step
father, N. o. Bergstrom, who lives on a
farm on Campbell's Island to sign a paper
which he said would release the old gen
tleman from paying large sum of money
which he owes on the farm. The old
gentleman did as he was requested
and it turns out that the paper he signed
was deed conveying the farm to the
wife of the crooked step son, After this
he built fiat boat, and after swindling a
number Of people ont of various sums of
money, he departed one night for the
south, his wife joining him, it is supposed,
at some point down the river. An effort
was made to detain him, but it proved n
| failure His wife has the deed to the
farm on Campbell's island, and it is prob>
able that they have swlndled someone
else by selling the farm.

Fell From a Window.

A large crowd was attracted to the
rear of the Rock Island house last even
ing. The attraction was a man who laid
prone upon the sidewalk. He was seen
to come to the second story window of
the servants quarters and suddenly
plunge out headlong. In few minutes
great crowd had surrounded him and
among the rest were several physicians,
who made hasty examination of the mar
who was unconscious. 1t was soon as
certained that no bones were broken, but
the fellow had been stunned by the heavy
fall upon his head and shoulders. 1t was
discovered that the chap was drunk. lie
was picked up and carried 70 bed TO sleer
off the effects of the liquor he had imbib-
ed. His name is John Doyle and he has
ueen employed for some time by Mr.
Field as a yard man about the hotel. II
is limited that he was thrown from the
window by girl to whom he offered ar
insult. The distance he fell was not great
but far enough to have hurt a sober man

The Pork Pllferers.

Ellsworth Spickler and Frank Latin,
the two young men who were arrested
yesterday for stealing hogs from farmer
named Bateman, as detailed in the ARGUS
last evening, are still in the county Jail.
Yesterday afternoon they employed Ma
ior Beardsley to take charge of their case,
and after some consultation it was de.
cided to dismiss the case against the
young men before Justice Sherwood, of
Edgington. They will appear before JUS
tice Chopper next Monday morning for a
preliminary hearing. 1t is said that Latin
feels the disgrace more keenly than does
his companion for the reason that he has
young wife to whom he was recently
married The lady is highly connected il
the neighborhood of Edgington. 1t is
understood that it was runaway match
and although the couple have been mar
ried couple of months or more, it was
only a week ago that the fact became
generally known.
