A New Version.

"Oh, come into the garden, Maud -
The soft notes came swelling through
the forsythia bushes. and the yellow bells
shook as if Ginning in unison with the
mellow voice that uttered them. ''Oh,
come into the garden, Maud.' A figure
appeared at the window and the door
softly opened. Then there was another
figure, and another voice set the forsythia
blossoms jolting IN visible and pitiable
discord. Maud, you get right back
into the house, and don't you be catch
ing your death of cold in any garden.
Tell Dick Sappins he can come into the
house and see you if he wants to. only
he's got to leave his banjo on the porch"

Assistant Superintendent Bob Hill. Of the

which are for the bridge line. Each
branch has It's own distinct complement
of cars, though with the exception of the
bridge line, which are green, all are one
color-a canary yellow. The various
routes are TO be designated though, by
signs on the tops of the cars and by the
lights at night. There : has been some
query about the car steps being unusually
high. There is to be another step
when the cars are fully rugged out
for business. A contract has been let
for all the advertising privileges on the
interior of the cars. Mr.. Louder
back will not permit the cars to
be disfgured by advertising on the
outside, and in this he is right. If
the cars of the syndicate were to be pla-
carded with advertising signs as the
present electric cars in Davenport are,
it would be impossible to designate the
only sign which the public really pays at
tention TO, and that is the one donating
the destination of the car.
When will the cars be started by cleo
tricy? That is the all absorbing question.
To all such az who ask 1t, THE ARGUS

soul, and be surprised with nothing-not
even if an electric car should come bowl>

OF the common people. A pur-
veyor of news, and a vehicle of
knowledge to the man who lives in
cave or palace, whose life runs in a
narrow channel of trade or on the broad
stream of commerce. The reporter who
hurriedly throws together a column of
important news or a startling dispatch
for the evenings paper does not have
time to read it for all its meanings, or to
wait and find how it will sound tomorrow
or to posterity. He uses the words that
come quickest to convey his crowded
