sudden Death at Davenport.

Early this morning occurred the death
of Geo. F. Kramer, police magistrate of
the city of Davenport, and we'll known in
this city. The fatal ailment was periton-
etis. MIR. Kramer was taken ill about
two weeks ago, but not until few days
since did his condition seem at all criti-
Cal. Last Monday, however, he began to
fail very fast. He was native of Prus
sia-born in 1888. He came to America
at an early age. and settled in Davenport
more than thirty years ago. For a num-
Der of years he was clerk in the freight
Office of the c., R. I. & P. in Davenport.
In 1882 he resigned that position to &C
cept the Office of police magistrate, and
for the past six years he had performed
the duties of that office. He was very
popular in society and official station.
He was a member of the various singing
societies in Davenport. and of several
lodges. He was also an old soldier, hav>
ing done service in his native as well as
his adopted country. He leaves a wife
and one son.

Care of Children's Feet.

Wise mothers see that the children have
dry feet. Shoes should be loose enough to
be comfortable always-half an inch longer
than the foot, but not loose enough to slip
around Never let the child wear shoe that
is run over on the side or heel, and constantly
discourage the habit of standing on the outer
edge Of the shoe, turning in the toes, or rub
bling one foot over another. Have the child
taught from the earliest hours of understand
ing that the moment his feet are wet he must
change shoes and stockings. Some children's
feet perspire SO that wooden stockings keep
the feet damp and cold; let them wear cotton
hose, and buy the elastic wooden webbing
which comes by the yard and draw it over
the child's limb to the ankle; this will pro-
tect the limbs which, in snow and slush,
should be covered with legglngs. If mothers
will make it rule that the child's hose must
be hung up when taken Off, and the feet
warmed before going to bed, they will save
themselves much trouble. Too many mothers
tic up q child's throat, most pernicious
habit, and allow the child to wear thin shoes
or sit with rubbers on for hours.-Herald of
Health.

Pleasant to Take.

"My DEAR" fond husband remarked the
other day, II have talked with DR.. Mildew
about your case, and SO / have brought you q
pair of diamond earrings"
"Oh, how lovelyl" she exclaimed. And
then, after q moment of ecstatic admiration,
she added: But don't see what this has to
do with exercise
''Why, in tine fist place." was the answer,
''you will go out more and get much more
fresh air; and, in the second, you will contin-
ually be putting up your hands to assure
yourself that the diamonds are not lost, and
in that way"-
She interrupted him with some saucy re-
mark, but his impudence was forgiven for
the sake of his gift.-Boston Courier.

Can't Get Too Much Of a Good Thing

Many business men stop advertising as
soon as the Christmas trade is over on the
apparent assumption that everybody is
going to quit buying. But appetites con.
tinue to flourish and clothes to wear out
just the same as if Christmas were still in
the future. The business men who quit
advertising. however, are liable to think
that their dull trade proves the truth of
their assumption; but those who keep
right on advertising discover the CONTRA
~. Those who continue to advertise will
do the business following the holidays;
and the rule is that the most prosperous
business houses in every community are
those which advertise right along all the
year round Clinton Herald.

A Bnrrisier's Ballad,

Some time ago, says the Davenport
Times, through her attorney, A. P.
McGuirk. Parthenia Bailey asked for a
divorce from her husband, Richard E.
Bailey, on the ground of desertion. In
her petition she alleged, by mistake, that
she was married in June, 1885, whereas
the ceremony took place in 1881. The
bill was filed in May, 1885. A child,
Nellie, was born to the couple. This
clerical error in the original petition
naturally makes one smile. Its absurdity
is capped by it's righteousness. OF course
McGuirk will amend his petition, while
the court will lose its gravity, the jurors
will cackle and the audience grin, wher
the following poetical demurrer is read BY
Attorney George E. Kubbell, who rep.
resents the defendant;
PAHrHES Ts BAILEY Scott Co. District Court
p,cu.ynE p, Demurrer.
Now comes the defendant and says
He demurs o the bill and prays
That IL st ites facts that are true
Decree to tie plaintiffs not due.
And for cause of demurrer relates
That the petition these facts states
That in June, '85, were wed
The parties hereto; defendant then fed
With wilfu intent far away
And DESERT ng, two years did stay.
Bill was fl, d in May, 'S5,
Marriage was placed in jane, 'S5,
One month after suit, as we see,
Therefore two years absence can't be
Nellie c. is three years heir,
Alleged Law full frait of this pair.
1t can't be, for even the Lord,
COnid not do thing so absurd,
AS to make a three year old child
In month The plaintiff!
SO we ask this Honorable Court,
In making fnal report,
To adjudge the pleading as bad,
Nellie had .ome other dad"

One Fact

Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an
American statesman. 1t is fact estab-
lished by the testimony of thousands of
people, that Hoods Sarsaparilla does cure
scrofula. salt rheum and other diseases
or affections arising from impure state or
low condition of the blood. 1t also over
comes that tired feeling, creates a good
appetite and gives strength to every part
of the system. Try it.
