Illinois and Iowa Dentists.

Twenty members of the dental pro-
fession Of the three cities assem- bled
at the st. James hotel at Davenport
Yesterday afternoon to dine together
and arrange for the coming meeting
of the Illinois and Iowa society.
Committees were appointed to take
care of the visitors, see that they
were properly entertained, that the
necessary facilities were provided
for the clinics, etc. The meeting
will convene on the morning of
Tuesday, May 8. the Illinois associa-
ton meeting for organization in
Rock Island and the Iowa association
in Davenport for the same purpose.
After that all the meetings will be
held jointly. Most of the papers
will be read in Rock Island and all
the clinics will be held in Davenport.
There will also be social gathering
in Kaaba hall on the evening OF the
18th, with banquet in the armory
of the commandery on the upper
floor.

thorized to act in conjunction with

The Death of CLEOPATRA.

The story that Cleopatra killed her
self by allowing an asp to bite her has
long been believed, but probably has
no better historical basis than the fan
ciful imagination of q gossipy Roman
historian. For some time before her
death she made careful preparations
for that event and tried many differ
ent kinds of pOisons on her unfortu-
nate slaves to see which would pro
duce death with the least apparent
agony She probably died by one of
these poisons, for she was as adept in
such matters as any of the Borgias.
No asp was found IN her room, and
the wound on her breast supposed to
have been that of its bite probably
had another origin, for her whole
body was covered with bruises, where
she, in Egyptian fashion, had struck
herself with her fists and torn her
flesh with her nails in her grief for
the loss of Antony.-St. Louis Globe

Sappho l5iiioa et>eiI ~ jumping;

lovesick persons. who believed that
if they survived the fall they would
be effectually cured OF hopeless pas

were in attendance below to pick up
the leapers if they came to the sur

Sappho had a passion for a young
man who did not return her love and
leaped from the cliff in order to be
cured. She persisted in the fall So
also did ATtimesia and many other
celebrities.
Pliny tells a curious story of an old
Athenian niser who was in love
with his cook and desiring a cure,

Golden Silence

There are times when silence is
golden" but women have the repu-
tation of always ignoring this fact.
A minister's wife tells a good story
at her own expense which illustrates
mans incredulity of her ability to
keep her mouth shut under any con-
sideration. Her husband was recov-
ering from a serious illness. The day
when the worst was over the doctor
smiled, with the remark that all he
needed was quiet and spoke of pow
der which he would leave. Rising to
90, the wife reminded him of the
powder ito keep her husband quiet, -"
when to her amusement the doctor
turned, and looking her in the face
said: The powder was not for your
husband, but for you. He will be
quiet enough if he only gets the
chance. Exchange.

Bright, deceptive glints Of sunrise
slanted low from the crisp east over the
low shore line, touching yet only the
tall tree tops, as old Pete emerged from
his dingy cabin on the creek and stood
like a statue in ebony, listening In
tently.
"Stalwart and tall, like Anal's son."
the long, bony limbs Of the black, over
which the corded muscles played with
every motion, denoted unusual
strength, even for one Of his race and
calling. And the grim strength Of his
hard, scanned face showed inner
strength well suited TO his body.
Cleaner cut and frmer than usual with
the negro, Pete's features were grave
and stern, the thin, blue lips set, as
though used TO sudden peril and his
were the motto Of the Douglas: "Readyi
aye readyr"
The clatter OF hoof and wheels grew
clearer; then Meredith's familiar trap
appeared and drew up at the cabin.
Here we are, Pete" Mckee cried,
merrily, dismounting as fast Us skirts
permitted, and assisting Miss Clay's
light descent from her cold perch.
"Sarvant, Mars Kee! How yo' mar?'
the negro answered, with a grave bow,
but showing no surprise at the familiar
voice coming in such questionable
