Davenport is considerably aroused and
excited over the mysterious and unex-
planned disappearance of young man
named Charles Moves, black smith, for
merly of Moline. For nearly year
Moves has been paying attention to Car
RE Plogmann. an attrac tive German girl,
who has been working for Mrs Rosalia
Cordts, proprietor of the saloon on Front
street, Davenport. His suit has not been
altogether satisfactory, but on Saturday
evening, which he passed with her, they
had querrel. Miss Plogmann says, how
ever, that they parted good friends.
Officer Gainey of the Davenport pol ice,
who is well known to both Moves and
the girl, was passing Mrs. Cordt's Sat
urday evening, when the girl called him
in. Moves was there, and after chatting
with them few minutes the officer de>
parted. Later close to II, Officer Gainey
again met Moves coming out of Mrs.
Cordts, and walked with him up to the
street. Moves seemed bothered. and dis

Care or Animals in winter.

The American Humane Association
offers the following suggestions relative
to fowls, horses and cattle 20 persons
having these in charge, in the northern
ATTITUDES. during the winter months:
Do not compel domestic fowls TO ro0st
in trees. Aside from danger of being
captured BY owls and other enemies. the
swaying of the branches upon which
they arc sitting win prevent them from
getting rest; while in the severely cold
weather, thus exposed, feet and combs
are frozen and the bird is SO benumocd
as to make it impossible for it to be of
much profit on the farm. Securely
sheltered from wind and storm, and al
lowed to sit on broad roost, feet arc
thus kept warm, refreshing rest is OBJ
tanned, and the fowl il much stronger,
healthier. and more profitable to its
owner.
Do not clip horses during the winter
months. With the same propriety we
might cut the hair from dog or shear
4 sheep at this season of the year. The
argument in behalf Of the practice Is
that the horse in perspiration will dry
more quickly if the hair is short. If the
animal is thoroughly blanketed and
kept in sheltered or warm place, after
being driven, no danger results from
perspiration, whatever the length of hair;
while the horse that has been deprived
of its coat in the winter time suffers per-
petually while being exposed to the
cold.
1t is cruelty inflicted upon beautiful
carriage horses for the purpose of style.
Blessed is the ordinary work-horse, in
the winter time, for, however much it
may perspire, it is allowed to carry its
full growth of hair during the cold
weather.
Do not leave cattle to stand shivering.
while extremities often freeze. in the
snowstorms and severe winds of winter,
when little time would suffice to con-
struct of boards, rails or poles a support
upon and around which may be placed
hay, straw or weeds, thus making shell
ter that may comfortably protect them.
Cattle kept in fairly warm condition
throughout the winter will, as mixers,
give a large and better yield of milk,
and as beeves will take on flesh much
more rapidly than If exposed to incle-
ment weather.
Aside from u question of humanity,
the more attention and care that is be-
slowed upon animals, with u view to
their comfort, the more will they be of
service and source of profit to their own
ers.

A Wolf.


.Bill Ri,lly is wolf, said old Judge
Bicknell.
"Why do you think so?' some one
asked.
.Well, I'll tell you. Some time ago
roughly-dressed man with bushy red
whiskers rode up to my house andwant-
Ell to sell me Il horsea lean animal,
but one in which | saw many fine points.
The fellow said he was in such need of
money that nc would take $40 for the
animal. gave him the money and
took the horse. The animal fattened
rapidly. ! found him equally service
able in shafts or under saddle. One day,
shortly after the animal had developed
into as fine horse as | had ever seen,
Bill Ridly came along and claimed him.
He brought forward sufficient proof to
establish his claim. and of course / gave
mp the horse, thereby losing my 500 be-
sides losing the time had spent in work
ing with him. 2
Il don't see how You can blame
Ridlyv
you don't; then | will show you.
The scoundrel wanted his horse fattened.
but was too stingy to spend money for
corn, so he disguised himself, sold me
his own horse. and then. after the horse
was fat, came back and claimed him.
Yes, Bill is Il wolf. dfkunsnW Ir0c-

What To Avoid.

So many suggestions for methods Of
cheap decoration find their way into
print, addressed to those who have very
plain homes and who are out of the
way of knowing what is really good,
that the need seems rather to be of hints
what to avoid. While trying to adorn,
it should be remembered that even se-
we're plainness is better than bad orna-
ment. The walls of room and its floor
are the points which are most conspic-
uous, and therefore most need to be
saved from too brilliant colOring and
too conspicuous patterns. If bare white
walls or those covered with ugly paper
confront us, they may be remedied at
small expense by tinting with soft.
delicate color, some neutral tint being
the safest to attempt: or there are TO be
found, almost everywhere, wallpapers ut
low prices in small indistinct patterns
and subdued colors which are even pref
ty in themselves and which give warmth
and tone to the room; or the plain,
coarse gray paper, which makes SO ex-
cellent . background for pictures, IS
available, 50 that il seems almost wrong
! TO weary the eve and brain Of the ten
ants Of room with the CANDY, obtrms-
i've papers so often used.
If the white walls or the ugly paper
cannot be changed. let sls not increase
the ngliness by putting patches Of bril-
liant color in any form Of ornament
upon them. Even the japanese fans,
s which are SO popular that one hardly
dares utter a protest against them. do
not always beautify. They may, indeed.
