A DOMESTIC EPISODE.

The president sat in his easy chair,
With Lamont as close as could be,
And the presidents wife sat over there.
With her sewing upon her knee.
Said the president: Dan, here's job fol-
you,
My head for the problems too thick.
Before you retire, l wish you would do
A sum in arithmetic.
With twenty-five congressman lost this year
Which seems to be nearly our fate,
Where will we be-saY. Dan, do you hear?
In the autumn of eighty-eight?'
Dan bit at his nails, and scratched his head,
For the problem puzzled him so.
''Why, maybe, perhaps" he stammered and
said.
Then declared that he didn't know.
The sweet little lady over there
Looked up, but not at the men,
And softly said, with faraway air,
His teeth Will be cut before then
The president looked before him straight,
And his frowu made Daniel vince,
''My teeth will be cut by lightweight?
l thought they were cut long since"
The sweet little lady hung down her head,
So bus with seams and fells,
And, blushing q little, she softly said
~ was thinking of something ese.''

the middle of July, at the outside.
Through the courtesy of General Mana

driven over the new line yesterday after

Nineteenth street. while the track laying
is finished west over college hill and
cars are now running from one end
OF Moline to the other and into
the eastern portion of this city. The
track laying as far as it has progressed
has been done with care and skin, max
ing "a better road bed than can be found
west of Chicago. The cars ride as
smoothly rs on the great steel highways
which traverse the world There is no jar,
no jolting, and no getting off the track,
which is certainly worthy improvement

MILAN, June ~.
For many months, especially during
the warmer months. two characters of
this town have been the subjects of of.
Tense to all decent people because of
their total disregard for cleanliness. Last
week the popular indignation in the mat
ter found vent in novel way of affect
ing what will probably prove a perma>
nent cure for the offenses of these two.
Their names are W. L. johnson and
Henry Fisher. and after suitable
amount had been raised by subscription
to purchase each suit of clothes. they
and then don the clean clothes and
behave like respectable people in
the future johnson was dealt
with on Thursday night and he
promptly obeyed taking bath in the
presence of his determined fellow citi-
zens, and on Saturday night Fisher went
through the ordeal though much against
his will. He at first offered resistance
and drew Il large knife which he flourish
cd with threats to cut tue heart cut of any
one who attempted to compel him to
battle He was finally overcome
and went and took wash like
a little man. There was considerable ex
element at the time as Fisher promised
to make it hot for those who had com
PEELED him to do thing so much agains
his wishes. Peace reigns now, however
and cleanliness is regarded more thar
ever as a rue virtue ia this town.
