at Harper's theatre in his companion
drama to The Kerry Cow" in which he
appeared to the largest and best pleased
audience of last season in Rock Island.

indifferences and other bars against him,

Lesson 60 be Drawn

The Davenport Democrat Gazette draws
u valuable lesson from the narrow escape
from suffocstion from hard coal gases of
tue Misses Kshlke, in this city, last FRI
day morning, and says:
People who use hard coal may recall
the fact that their stoves seemed TO draw
very poorly Thursday and Friday The
weather was warm and the air was
charged with moisture and was very
light. 1t gave US low barome ter all
over the country. Upon this atmosphere
&c condition alone can the suffocatlon Of
these two Young women be explained.
Their stove was in good order, and was
regulated as usual, but the draught was
80 feeble that the ascending current of
air WAS not sufficiently powerful TO draw
the noxious gases, which are heavier than
air, up the fiue. They settled in the
stove, escaped into the room, and came
near killing its occupants.
The intelligent householder should
draw valuable lesson from this incl
dent. These instances of suffocation Of
ten happen from carelessness in regulat-
ing the stove; a door or q griddle-hole or
magazine opening is left open and the
gas escapes, but here is an instance Of a
different sort. When the barometer is
high. when the air feels light and is easily
hresthed and seems to actually taste
good, the stove will never draw back
ward as this one did. When it is damp
and breathing is difficult and the fire is
hard to keep-look outi

1t wandered into ARGUS Office late one
afternoon last week and was SO black
that 1t would not have been seen in the
gathering darkness but for the pitiable
NEW" that denoted its tribe and told
that il was lost. It was black, as black,
indeed. as whole stack of black cats.
The ARGUS philosopher Immediately
hailed the visitor with delight as an evil
dence of good luck, and receiving it with
all the tenderness imaginable placed it on
the elevator and hauled it up to the CON-
posing room with instructions that it be
fed and housed for the period OF its mats
ural existence. The foreman at once set
his wits to work contriving something for
the feline representative to eat.
Give it some of the Office boys pie"
put in one OF the typos in his evident de-
sire TO relieve the foreman's apparent
anxiety.
mo you DON'T" shouted the urchin
from his corner of the room.
What will we give it them" asked the
foreman with as much concern as if the
object of his solicitude had been a hu-
man.
THE devil only knows what to give
it," interrupted another compositor, cast
ing a side glance in the direction of the
apprentice.
"Ratsi" screamed the coming repre>
sentative Of the craft, don't try to get
OF any cute cracks on me in relation TO
this matter. amt no devil any longer,
and il you say am I'll get after you
with a stick" And during his exciting
gesticulstions the Office boy did furnish
pie" sure enough, and the cat made a
healthy diet of it for that night.
Early the next morning the Office boy
learned that Sam Wright was in search
of cat, and presenting it to him with a
DOW, received MS gratefnl acknowledge
ment.
But the sequel is to come. That poor,
little shivering black cat was Jimmie
Dixons latest importation from Iowa,
and be threatens to sue Sam, the office
boy and all others concerned, for missp-
propriating his property. His indig-
nation IS the more intense he says be-
cause the other night he met his first
Maltese cat on the bridge but could not
excuse himself from his company long
enough to capture it, and Mr.. Maltese
walked by as impudently and as dedsntly
as you please. Jimmie says he went
into the cat business with hopes Of find
ing msscotte, but that he has found
more botherstIOn and disbolical hard
luck than anything he ever tackled.

took them home and her husband wen,
/ through them all, even the weekly. One
of the first things he saw in the latter was
his property ADVERTISED to be sold for de-
linquent taxes. he went to the treas
urer's Office the next morning and paid
$50 taxes. Even cigar store Indian can
see the moral in this.
One of the most convenient. valuable.
and unique business table or desk calen-
dar. for 1890. is the Columbia Bicycle
calendar and stand. issued by the Pope
Mfg. Co., of Boston. Mass. The calendar
proper is in the form of pad of 1865
leaves. each 5sx22 inches, one for each
day of the year, to be torn off daily, and
one for the entire year. A good portion
of each leaf is blank for memoranda, and
as the leaves are not pasted, but sewed at
the ends. any entire leaf can be exposed
whenever desired. By an ingenious de-
vice, the leaves tear off Independently
leaving no stub. The portable stand,
which holds the pad, contains pen rack
and pencil holder, and is made of solid
wood, brass mounted. Upon each slip
appear quotations pertaining to cycling
from leading publications and prominent
writers.
The Moline Dispatch devotes consider
able Of its valuable space to confession
that 1t was the paper alluded to by the AR.
GUS as making pretentions of its wonder
full circulation and adopting illegitimste
means of substantiating those assertions
on its part. The ARGUS raises no objec.
ton to the Moline papers brags and
boasts, as those who crow the loudest, as
rule. have the least to crow about. The
ARGUS, as before stated, would not dis
courage the pride that paper may take
in itself or its circulation, but 1t does
condemn the practices the Dispatch has
adopted of sneaking into the mail boxes
at the postoffice, and then charging the
citizen who innocently takes it out, a
years subscription. The circulation so
secured is not legitimate, and is not worthy
of Boosting of.

A Dog at Sunday School.

John G. Ounce, of West Fourth street has
spitz dog that wears, on week days, about
his neck collar of yellow ribbons, while on
Sunday he is adorned with rosette of red
ribbons lover his ears and always taken to
Sunday school. He is n very proud dog then,
and seems to enter thoroughly into the spirit
Of the exercises with such earnestness and
understanding that he has acquired the rep
utation of thoroughly devout dog in the
neighborhood. Yesterday search failed to
find the red ribbons, and Sam Jones that's his
name) was obliged TO submit to the week day
bunch of yellow, and thus equipped he was
taken to Sunday school
1t may seem improbable, but it is fact.
that there was marked change in the dog.
Instead of frisking ahead of the girls and
chasing every wicked cat out of the street
and barking at every dog not going his way,
he slinked along behind the girls. Instead of
wearing his tail pompadour, he carried il
banged; instead of attracting attention, he
seemed to endeavor TO avoid publicity a
much as possible He crawled under the seat
instead of sitting in plain view and looking
as though to see that everybody was looking
at him, and he went home in the same dole
full mood. The action of this dog instead OF
throwing him in disrepute, is by the family
regarded as a credit 10 his faculty of OBJ

Mr.. waruer's Well.

Another satisfactory experiment has
been made at the artesian well on the
premises Of Mr.. Geo. Wagner's Allan
tic brewery this morning. The entire
well has been piped and the sulphur
water separated entirely from the sand,
stone water by means of packing. This
morning boy stood on the top of the
derrick tower, a height of seventy feet,
with a pipe. and the water came out of
the top Of 1t with as much force as it had
below, and would probably have gone
much higher had the:e been means of
testing it. The sulphur stream was
thrown height of twenty two feet.

A Dog at the Railway Crossing.

Passing along West Fourth street the other
day while the gates were being lowered at
the railroad crossing saw an English setter
rush in and take his stand by the track
When the gate was down he rose on his
launches, and resting his front paws against
the gate, he stood in that position until the
train had passed. Turning his head be saw
the last car go by, when he dropped on all
fours and walked slowly away. / was told
that 1t was his custom whenever he saw the
gate being lowered to rush in and guard the
crossing, and that he would allow no one to
get beneath the gate until the train had gone
past Why he does it don't know, but he
made very noticeable and pretty picture as
he stood here, guarding the gate.-Boston
