Welcoming Speeches by Maj. Beardsiey
and Three ex-WayOTs.
Reaching Market square, the pro-

carrying brooms which had been pur-

cards EN- blematie of their fight. to-

words of welcome.
Some days ago, he said. rumor had
it that our honorod mayor had left
and gone to foreign state on a big
spree, and with him he had taken
certain other noted citizens to aid
and participate with him, and that
on their arrival at their destination
they organized for their work and
soon were known as the "Rock ISL
and Hustlers." Inquiry there was
made who are these hustlers and
from whence did they come? They
came from a locality described by
Goodrich. said the major, in a refer
ence to this locality:
Ifyou would find fairy land,
| Ey natures chosen bJunt,os blessed,
fertile soil, a ciima'e bland,
| Come seek this region of the west.
Then standing upon the bank Of
the grand old Mississippi here, the
poet continues:
| Majestic stream, thou roll'st along,
| Type of The Ian thy waters lahe:
| With bosom broad. and current strong,
| Obi who can etay thy onward way!
These hustlers, the major added,
together with the citizens of
Rock Island, and in this broad Mis-
sissippi valley, seemed to have par
taken of the same resistless spirit.

D Some peculiarities of Iceberss.

EDerelicts and lcebergs are among the
dangers to which vessels are constantly
exposed, the latter being perhaps the
more formidable of the two, because
there are more of them at certain sea-
sons, and there is no telling VIXEN one
of these monsters may heave in sight.
An ordinary iceberg shows one-ninth Of
its bulk above water. During the pres
ent season number Of these masses of
ice-at least 100 feet high-have been
encountered by steamships. It is scarcely
possible to imagine an iceberg with 900
feet of it's bulk below water. One cap
tain reports having seen all enormous
field Of ice at least 800 feet high and
1000 feet long. It had evidently but
just turned over, as the upper portion
was full Of sharp angles and points. and
the water was trickling down its side.
One of the greatest dangers from ice
bergs is being in their vicinity when
they turn over. The sea currents wash
and melt them into all sorts Of fantastic
figures and points. They melt below so
nlnch more raridly than above that the
center Of gravity becomes disturbed, and
they turn with tremendous force. Some
times the disturbance is almost equal to
tidal wave and is sufficient to upset
any small craft that may be in its way.

Tho Bicycle and the Corset.

The Paris correspondent Of tho Lon
don Truth says that the long vesed ques-
ton of the corset is in way to be set
tied once and for all. Neither doctors
nor rational dress reformers will earn
the credit of the change, thanks being
due to the cycle only. Cycle tailors and
trainers in Paris are dead set against the
corset.
"There's no answering for your safety.

must go on keeping your conventional
figure. You need every muscle in your
body and every muscle free. A ceinture

Held by O Hair.

In q gathering Of officers after the
Franco-Prussian war a French officer
claimed that the French nation is the
most artistic nation OH the earth, and
that her artisans can make thing of
beauty out of anything, however ortli-
nary or crude.
The great Prussian general, Won Man.
teufel, who was present, pluckcd hair
from his shaggy beard, remarking, "Let
them make something beautiful out of
that
The French officer sent tho hair to O
friend in Paris, telling him the circum-
stances and urging that, as the Prus-
slams had defeated the French in the late
war, they should not be permitted to
defeat them in the claim to artistic SUI
premacy. Giving the hair to capable
artisan, with proper instructions, the
result was beautiful scarfpin repre-
senting a Prussian eagle, artistically
wrought in gold, standing on a rock,
and depending from his beak was sin
gle hair, at the ends of which We're two
beautiful gold medal]ions. Oh one of
which was inscribed "Alsace" and Oh
the other Lorraine.
Thus the artistic scarfpin aptly de-
scribed the political situation: Prussia,
as the eagle, with it's conquered prov
inces dependent, but held by u hair, for
the temper Of the people of Alsace and
Lorraine was bitter toward the Ger
mans, and the tie which held them was
very slight.

TRAINED CATS



The Fea&s . showman In England Has
Taught Them 70 Do.
a Snowman IN England, Clarke by
name, has succeeded in training large
number Of cats to perform remarkable
tricks. One Of these is to walk over a
long line Of living rats, mice and ca
naries, stepping very carefully between
the futtering little bodies Of birds and
mice and harming none of them. An
other cat climbs by rope to the roof,
Seizes the handle Of a parachute and de-
scends by it to the ground from con.
siderable height.
Mr.. Clarke repeats what is we'll
known-that the cat is the most difficult
of animals to train to the performance
of tricks. He has trained bears, lions.
leopards, tigers and other wild animals
and finds them teachable and submissive
when compared with cats. The cat in
deed can never be SO far conquered that
her performances may be depended on.
Mr.. ClarEe's entertainment includes
only 80 trained cats, but he has to take
with him 60, in order that he may have
substitutes for those that will not per-
form.
He calls tho cat hopeless bundle
of sensibilities. Strike her once, though
only by accident, and she will never
perform again. Kindness is not only
polite, but absolutely necessary. Some
of his cats it took him four years Of
ceaseless effort to train.
Mr.. Clarke's cats are extremely fond
of him. When he enters his '.cat sta
BILE, the mewing is prodigous, and he
is instantly buried III a moving mantle
of cats.
The difficulty in the cats training
does not lie in the animals s intelligence,
but in her disposition. She is as clever
in her tricks, if she likes to do them, as
a dog, but she does not wish to subor-
dinate her will to that of any living
creature. She does what she wants to
do only and will perform, if she perform
at all, only to please herself.
Those that have seen cats engaged in
boxing matchcsswill not be surprised to
learn that Mr.. Clarke has succeeded in
training two cats to box very scien-
tifcally.
Tho animals that walk over the chains
Of rats, mice and canaries without
touching them are only six in number.
Any of the others would help themselves
to these appetizing creatures without
compunctions. These six We're brought
up from their earliest infancy in cages
with rats, mice and birds and live with
them constantly.-Youth's 8 Companion.

THE TRIPLE GALL DOWN.

How Bored Irishman Silenced Crowd
of Self Admitted Genials.
There were four of them, as genial,
good natured, whole souled retailers of
old wives tales as ever got together in
the smoking compartment of sleeping
car. They had all fed we'll in the diner
and settled down with the anticipation
of enjoying long evening Of yarn
swapping. They spread themselves over
as many of the seats Of the smoker as
they could cover and crowded into q
corner large. round faced, jolly look
ing 1rishman, who was enjoying his
after dinner cigar. Somehow he wasn't
amused by the stories. The narrators
spread themselves, but they couldn't t
feaze him. and the bored expression on
his face grew in intensity as the stories
went on. The stories were not funny.
Once in awhile there was a gleam of
humor, but for the most part they were
just commonplace or vulgar. But they
seemed irresistibly humorous to the
four, who pelted their thighs and
wheezed and chorttled and roared as
each in turn finished his yarn.
At last the big Irishman could endure
it no longer, and he broke in:
''That reminds me of the farmer who
caught three boys stealing apples in his
orchard.
The original four turned toward him
with look Of expectant. triumph, ready
to yell at the first sign of conclusion.
"He chased them, went on the Irish
man, land they all ran up a tree
Come down, said the farmer, but they
wouldn't.
"'Will ye come down for once?'
asked the farmer.
"'We will not answered the boys.
"'Will ye come down for twice?'
"'We will not.
"'Will ye come down for three
times?'
$50 they ali came down."
And with that the big Hishman wink
ed at the only other man in the COM
partment: who was not of the story tell
ing crowd. The yarn spinners laughed
uproariously for second or two, and
then light went up, as the Germans
say, and they stopped suddenly. They
looked at one another for a minute,
searching for the point, and then one
said, with q yawn and a stretch: "Well,
Iguess it's bedtime. Good night. - And
