THE DAVENPORT WAY.
Two People Tired Of Life, But FAN In the
Attempt.

Attempt.
Shortly before l o'clock last night
the Davenport patrol wagon was
called to the foot of Main street to
carry a girl named Clara Gates back
to one Of the disreputabls houses at
Rock Island and Front streets. that
city. Clara has been very anxious
of late to get on the other side of the
pearly gates, but they refuse to
open. A month or two ago she took
a lot of poison. but that was pumped
out of her, ard last night sho walked
into the river at the foot of Main
street. A couple Of boatmen got her
out and she was sent home, very lit
tie the worse and perhaps somewhat
better for the bath. Ernst Cook, a
young fellow employed in west
Davenport livery stable, is also sup
posed to have attempted suicide Sun
day, having swallowed the contents
OF a bottle OF acOnite. A physician
was called in time to save his life.
The street Walking Habit.
Commenting on the street walking
habit in that city, the Tribune says;
The Rock Island plan OF keeping
young girls off the streets at night
by arresting those who are fou nd out
late without good and proper reason
looks better the more one sees of life
down town at night. The number
of young girls who CAD about the
streets at night. and who are going
to the bad is simply appalling
They are easily spotted by the com
pany they keep. by their manner Of
talk, by the way in which they carry
themselves. Davenport, notwith
standing the system which the mayor
processes to believe is a good one
has the reputation among outsiders
and those travelling men who pick up
such information by heresay. of be-
ing the most immoral city within
their knowledge. Travelling men, a
they pass along the streets. have I
habit Of forming conclusions fol
themselves from what they observe
The Tribune scribe has been TOLD
time after time by members Of
this profession that they never saw
a city in which there was 81
much and so plain evidence
of wholesale immortality. There
can be no question but that it is due
in large part, to the system which
obtains here, and also due, in part
to the fact that there is no such re
straint as that which Is now being
practic-d in Rock Island. The fac,
that there were about eighty arrests
of immoral women during August
is evidence enough of the increase o
immortality among those who art
openly strumpets, when the number
but a few months ago did not exceed
from so to 60. But it is the othel
feature that is doing the most harm
that OF street walking at night
There are too many mothers who d.

SOMETHING OF SHOES.
How Russets Have Changed the Habits
OF Humanity.

How Russets Have Changed the Habits
OF Humanity.
1t is a little remarkable how the
russell shoe has changed the habits Of
the people. This in turn has been
the means Of changing the market.
As compared with prices a year ago
the russell, as we'll as nearly all other
grades of shoes, has advanced in
price, and q close observer gives it
as his opinion that prices will 90
still higher. Whether this is due to
the leather trust or to the alleged
plethora of money, he fails to state.
But certain it is that several months
ago when the tidings were waited
over the country many western
dealers were forced to mark up both
leather and shoes with an advance
in the price, as it was only natural
that shoes should also advance in
price. People, however, had become
accustomed to buying cheaper shoes,
or shoes that were cheap. but OF
good quality, aud some manufac.
turers have continued turning out
footwear at the old established price
The habit OF the people in regard te
buying cheap shoes has changed
and the russell shoe has been the
cause of it.

an article of summer wear; still ex

however. what a difference there il

Double Duty.

A capital story was once told Of the
Rev. Thomas Hunt, the veteran temper
ance orator, who was we'll known in the
early history of the Wyoming valley.
He was somewhat eccentric man. but
possessed of remarkably quick wits.
which stood him in good stead on many
occasions.
During the civil war he enlisted in
one of the regiments of infantry raised
in the valley and served as chaplain.
One day in the very fiercest of the bat
tie q major rode up in front Of the regi
ment. and seeing Father Hunt al the
head of the ranks inquired in great as
constituent:
Chaplain. what are You doing
tnere?'
What am I doing?" repeated the
stanch old minister quickly. I'm cheer
ing the hearts of the brave and watch
ing the heels of the cowards!"
He was evidently performing thi.
double task SO we'll and thoroughly that
the major could find no fault with him
and left him to his self appointed charge.

Green Salad.

One pint field salad.
One dozen sprigs of cherville.
Four or five targon leaves.
| Ten chives.
One beet, medium size.
| Four spoonfuls Of oil.
one small spoonful of vinegar.
One-half teaspoonful of salt.
A pinch of pepper.
French people are so fond OF salad
that their dinner is almost 1nVarlaply
accompanied by one.
The mixture of cherville Gin French
cerfeuiD, targon and chives is great
addition to all salads. A most deli
cious flavor. The chives and targon
are we'll enough known, but not the
cherville, which is small plant, very
much like parsley, but having an en-
tirely different flavor. The leaves are
very fine, and they are Of more deli
cate shade Of green. 1t can be found
at all big markets. However, chervllle
can be raised easily in the back yard.
or even in a wooden box. 1t does not
like too much sun.
Beets require to be cooked long
time, five or six hours. The leaves
should be cut off and the roots washed
and put in boiling water, with enough
to cover them. II it evaporates during
the process of cooking it must be re-
placed by boiling water. When cooked,
take them out of the water. let them
cool, peel them and cut them in thin
slices.
Green salad needs great deal of
washing to get rid of sand in the
leaves. Green salad should be we'll
shaken, either in a cloth or in a wire
basket woven expressly for this pur-
pose. The process Of salad shaking is
very necessary. for, if water remains
in it, oil used in the dressing cannot
mix, but rolls itself in large drops
which impart a greasy taste, no mat
ter how good the oil may be. Put the
leaves in a bowl, with the cut beets
on top for ornament, and then spread
over the mixture of chives, targon and
cherville washed and chopped previ-
ously.
Put the salt, pepper and vinegar in
the salad spoon, and mix we'll with the
fork. When the salt and pepper are
melted, spread the vinegar over the
salad, and then the OIL With fork
and spoon stir diligently for at least
five minutes. and serve.

to rival the ever-popular chiffon. New

it, and often a pair of dashing sleeves
of Powered silk will be attached TO an
entire bodice Of point applique; made
over silk, of course. When trimming
the velvet capes, which now seem
shorter and fuller than ever, it takes
chiefly the form of a neck ruching
