How People Disguise Themselves.
Most of US hide behind disguises.

-hos1 VI US niue ueuinu uEstsulSeS.
Some do it innocently, from shyness.
They shrink from standing in naked per-
sonality before the world So they cloak
themselves in mannerisms. Usually there
are lonely souls which brood over them
selves. Thus in isolated farmhouses,
whittier the poets send us for the simplici-
ties of nature, one is likely to find more
Alterations and tricks of manner than in
our city dwellings
The afectation of a quality, of an ac-
compllshment, is a covert roguery. The
overt rogue picks your pocket in his game
OF hide and-seek with society. But the
man who would win your esteem, admira-
ton, affection, confidence, by appearing to
be what he Is not, is a rogue so subtle that
he often ends in deceiving himself
There is the sweet infantile creature who
shippers and writhes, and drops her chin to
look up from under her lashes, and uses all
manner of guile to show you how guileless
she Is. There is the strong minded woman
who talks in chest tones, is always posi-
tive, and holds advanced opinions on ali
points - borrowed opinions, since the
strength of her mind is not in the direction
of originating any. There are the ignorant
people who affect culture.
This sort of dishonesty gulls only the
dullard. Such Alterations are open adver-
tisements of poverty, since no one affects
what he possesses.-Harper' Bazaar

Luxury of the Bonapartes Criticised.
The luxury of the courts founded by Ma
poieon, 1t Is oppartune to observe here, was
absurd. The luxury of the Bonapartes
was neither German nor French. 1t was a
medley-a kind of learned luxury. There
was touch of gravity in it, as in that of
Austria. There was something half Eu-
ropean, half Asiatic, borrowed from ST.
Petersburg. There were few imperial
mantles taken from the old Rome of the
Caesars. But. on the other hand, there was
very little visible of that ancient court of
France where the art of good taste yelled
the gorgeousness of personal adornment

PAVING PROGRESS.
The Twentielh str.eu Job Almost
Compieted-Now TO Lower second
Avenut-The Edwards. 4 walsh Con.

The Rockford Construction company
has practically Completed lis contract Tor
paving on Twentieth street and will now
turn attention to the five blocks on lower
second avenue. Six weeks of fair
weather viii be required to complete the
contract of this company.
At Monday nights council meeting
AID. Knox offered a resolution which
was unanimously adopted. instructing
the clerk to notify the firm of Edwards
q Walsh contractors for the extension on
Fourth and Mol ne avenues, to be-
gin work at once. A great many ru mors
nave been prevalent as to the attitude
THIS firm proposed to show toward the
city, and the assertion has been made that
very little, if any. paving would be done
this year. 1t is true that the ordinance
Is not binding as to when the contractors
shall begin-the council had no reason
to think that it was neces-
sary to bind home firm as strictly as
an outside bidder-and THE Argos does
not believe so either, even in spite
OF all reports as to the contractors inten-
lions, that the council was deceived. Mr..
Edwards. the senior member, is a resident
OF Rock Island. and while in the council
was one of the fathers of the new system
OF street improvements in which Rock
Island was the first of the three cites to
engage, and it is hard to believe that he
would take advantage of any oversight
that would work disadvantage to Rock
Island. The firm has an extensive COM
tract in Davenport, but that should not
prevent beginning in Rock Island at
once.
The council ought to be letting the
contract for the pavement OF Market
square. and it is not unlikely that some-
thing may be done in the way of paving
Third avenue this year. in accordance
with the petition presented Monday night.
