the number of communicates in the Ro-

plain that the strength of the body

CRADLE SONG.

Baby, let us both GO sailing
In our fairy bark away,
With its silken wings outspreading,
To the country of(athay.
Let the two OF us make voyage
Where In other days have gone
Men and babies, dolts ana sages,
All in quest OF Prester John.
Baby, let us both go sailing
To the Persian land away,
Tnere to visit rosy gardens
At the dawning of the day.
AS the sun begins its journey
Wen begin the pleasing tramp,
Seeking Aladdin, The lucky,
And His Genius of the Lamp.
Baby, let us both go sailing
Where the calm Pacific lies,
With its sweep of deep blue surface
Spread before our eager eyes.
Let us leave its shores that gladden.
With their palm-trees, fruits and flowers
Till we come to Crusoe's island
BY this fairy bark OF ours.
Baby, let.us both 60 sailing,
Stormy seas Arabian Ger,
Till we find where Sinbad'S valley
Has OF diamonds countless store;
Then, with gems OF priceless value,
Joylully returning here,
Some shall shine on baby's trinkets,
Some shall deck it mother dear.
Baby, let us all so sailing,
Sailing to the land afar
Where amid the four-leaveds shamrocks
Dancing nimbly fairies are.
Let'us at their mirthful revel
Take sly and curious peep
Ali the rogue has sailed without me,
Sailed and found the Land OF Sleep.
Baby by himself is sailing
Ina shailop built OF Dreams
Over lakes with blossoms circled,
Through the friths of placid streams.
Crowned with poppies, robed with silence,
IN his bark recllned at ease,
Who may know how far he wanders?
Who may tell what sights he sees?

MOLINE'S MONGOLIAN.
Where il Kof Lung the Proud City's
Washee .Washee g-Sick and Gene.

Washee. Washee s-Sick and Gene.
Moline is weeping over the mysterious
disappearance of it's celestial laundryman.
Kof Lung. The Repu5lican-Journal
describes the cause of sorrow:
Some suspicious circumstances sur
round the removal of the Third avenue
laundrymsn from Moline. Several O. les
tials from Rock Island and Davenport
came here and took him away in closed
carriage. They claimed they were going
to take him 10 Rock Island. A couple of
days later another Chinamsn came to Mo
line and took away all the clothes and
everything of value that was in the sick
mans place of business. He appeared
much embarrassed when asked what had
become of the Moline Chinaman, and re-
Piled: "He allie light: he gettee better. ."
What first aroused the suspicious Of
Moline people regarding the removal of
the Cbinamsn, is the fact that the man
who took away his ysluablts the other
day was sttired in the clothes worn by
kof Lung. on the day of his removal from
Moline. He also carried his watch and
chain, and while in Moline was very
nervous, and tried TO avoid making any
allusion TO the sick man, and generally
answered questions which were put TO him
by saying me not know He would
not make any definite statement as to
where the patient had been taken. At
first he said Kof Lung had been carried
10 Davenport, hut later when asked as to
the sick mans Whereabouts said that he
was in Chicago.
Those familiar with the case are app
prehensive that the sick man was fouily
dealt with, and the truth of this hypothe-
sis is seemingly confirmed by the fact
that he hsd smassed considerable
amount of money while in business in
Moline.
1t is a well known fact that most of the
Cinnamon in this country will stop at
nothing 10 further their ends from a fanan-
cial point of view. Inquiry fails to re-
veal the whereabouts of Kof Lung He
spoke good English. and unlike most of
his race, was well thought of by those
deing business with him. 1t will be re
membered that dead Celestial was found
in coal shed in the rear of a laundry in
Davenport some time ago. He had been
allowed TO die of starvation, and when the
heathens with whom he had resided were
asked why they lad thrown the dead man
out replied:
No washee, no wantee."
The Chinaman was too i'll TO wash, and
they didn't want any dead weight on
their hands, so the poor wretch was left
by his countrymen to die of hunger in a
coal shed.

1t had been said of him that he had ex-
pressed himself for Mayor McConochie
for reelection. He had done nothing of
the kind. He believed that democrat
could always make better mayor than q
republican. but nevertheless he thought
that VIII ere man endeavored to do his
duty party af1liation should not so warp
ones judgment as to preclude the possibll-
itv of recognizing it. This was simply a
feeling OF man toward man. and if he
should be elected mayor OF Rock Island
and should endeavor-as he proposed q
such an event to do-to do dis duty, he
hoped that when his administration was
brought to close that no man, because
differing with him politically, would deny
him the satisfaction of knowing that he
tried to do his duty whether he had sue,
ceeded or not.
There were calls for John Looney. the
nominee for city attorney, who said that
words were but poor thanks for such an
honor as had been conferred upon him,
but until such time as he could place his
appreciation of the favor in more fitting
sense he hoped this feeble manner of ex>
preston would be accepted. He gave
the convention his assurance that he
would do all in his power to be elected.
and if successful would aim that his con,
duct of the office would evidence his re-
gard on the position as well as for the

Advantages of Alfalfa.

When once established it stays and don't run out. In dry climates on moist soil it goes down after the moisture. It is especially valuable in hot, dry clim- ates of long summers by making several crops in season. with irrigation. Where grown it constantly makes the soil richer instead of poorer. It gathers a large amount of nitrogen both from the air and soil. If cut when beginning to bloom and rightly cured it makes vast amount of the best of hay. It is fine food for all kinds of stock-an excellent flesh and milk producer. It makes muscle rather than fat, and is, therefore, the best hay to use with fat producing grain, such as corn, wheat, etc

Harrow the Corn and Potatoes.

Many of our best farmers harrow right over their corn and potatoes until they are from four to six inches high. One might think this would hurt the plants. The harrow will not hurt the plants nearly so much as the weeds in the hills will hurt the pocket-book. One of these narrowing farmersrecently remarked: Il have sometimes fairly ached to get some of these potato-grow- CTS. who think it would hurt the plants, out into the field about the time the potatoes and corn are four to six inches high, and see me "spoil" field with a 60-tooth spike harrow.
