Last evening Marshal Miller. in obe>
dience to Instructions from Mayor Nc.
Conochie, informed Officer Cary his re-
signation would be acceptable. The re-
quest was Immediately complied with by
the officer handing over his star and
other insignia OF authority. There
are a great many who will regret that
this action was necessary. for Pat was
one of the most efficient, faithful and
willing policemen that ever served on the
Rock Island force. He was always
ready to do his duty. and to do it we'll,
and Marshal Miller regarded him.
under most circumstances, as one of his
most valuable men. But Cary has one
fault and TO it he can alone attribute his
misfortune. He is his own worst enemy;
had he been as goM to himself as his
friends have been to him, there would
have been no trouble. He has been
shown more leniency than any other off,
Ger that has ever served in Rock Island,
but the time had come when he could not
be longer retained with consistency. The
ARGUS has only good wishes for his
future.

Deserving Of Assistance.

Mayor McConochie last evening issued
the following letter of recommendation
Messrs. Isaac Brooks and Alexander
Morton, two accredited representatives of
the Northern Illinois Miners organizes
ton. are in Rock Island seeking aid for
the families of the miners who are in en-
forced idleness at Braceville and Coal
City, and their immediate vicinity. There
are 10000 people who must be fed daily
till the men can get work again, and they
appeal to us in the name of common hu>
manity. hope all will heed their ap>
peal and give what they can afford.
WILLIAM MCCoNoCHIE. Mayor.
The mayors endorsement should be
sufficient to commend these gentlemen to
all. Their mission commends itself.
While they have made no solicitation of
the ARGUS for aid. their course as the
mayors letter of recommendation shows,
is most deserving one. They are max
ing an appeal to humanity, and one that
all people must certainly respond to
cheerfully and as literally as possible.

The Antiquity of Crackers.

Very few consumers OF wheaton pro-
ducts are aware Of the fact that crack
ers are the Oldest form of bread. Frag-
ments of unfermented cakes were dis
covered in the Swiss lake dwellings,,
which belong to the Neolithic age-an
age dating back far beyond the received
age of the world. Although this rude
form Of bread was early discarded for
the fermented variety, yet in this, as
in many other matters, it was found
convenient to return to a discarded and
apparently valueless process. Thin UNI
fermented cakes were found to possess
merits for special purposes. They
would keep good for great length of
time and they were convenient to carry,
and thus afforded wholesome and nutri-
tious food in portable and convenient
form. The simplicity of their making
and baking was also point in their
favor. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

widow with three young sons who lived
in an isolated spot out side the town,

Something brought up the subject of
woman suffrage, and my father said to
her, jokingly: You can't vote, because
you can't saw wood But i can saw
wood she said. If hau not sawed
wood, my children would have been
frozen this winter Well, then, he
said, you can't vote because you can
cut down trees Bat lean cut down
trees, she said. If had not gone out
with my little boys and cut down trees
in the forest, we should have had no
wood to burn Then finally he said:
We'll, you can not vote because you
can not sing bass" Mrs. Howell said
that women did not want to sing bass,
but they did want to join in the great
hymn of liberty which had been sung
too long as bass solo.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS
AN UNLUCkY FANCY.

Our Tom was as gay and merry wight
AS you ever would wish to see:
He raced and frolicked from morn till night
AS happy as boy could be;
And Tom had fancy vivid and gay
That iudulged in many an art,
And he thought the very best kind OF play
Was TO play he was acting part"
Sometimes as q gallant knight and bold -
He fought with the cornstalks tall;
Sometimes as pirate he sailed for gold;
Asa robber he scaled the wall
And oft as young fay blith and gay
He roved through dell and glade;
He was Robin Hood, or pilgrim good;
Or the beau on the grand parade. -
Well, one fine day, as the wheat field lay
All yellow and ripe in the sun,
Tom racked his brain for q brand-new play,
And novel kind Of fun;
He thought of Joseph's brethren OF old
And the famine that urged their feet,
And he seized stick and with footsteps bold
He marched through the waving wheat.
As his course he took he thought not to look
For an eye that might seem unkind,
So he did not heed, as he went with speed,
That his father was close behind,
But with sturdy blows that fell and rose.
He leveled the yellow grain,
And--'Here goes q young man reaping in
Egypt"
lie shouted In glad refrain.
At last mid the ranks of fallen wheat
He came to q sudden stand,
As his father approached with footsteps feet
And birch rod in his hand;
And these were the words that made Tom
culver,
And woke throb in his breast;
"Here comes the old man thrashing in Egypt
III leave you to guess the rest.
