Guileless IOie Euller.

Loie Fuller has never worn q corset
in all her life. Her figure is round,
beautiful, firm. Her gowns are fashion
ed in the empire style. her hats are i'm
mense and beplumed, and her manners
are gracious and altogether delightful.
Her modesty is possibly her greatest
charm. She told the writer recently
Il see posters about the street, and I
think Loie Fuller must be some one
else. can't get used to the fame part
of my career. In Paris, where 1 became
known, was driven to the theater and
home again without knowing how 1
was being talked about. One day re-
quired some pocket handkerchiefs, and
my mother and / walked into a shop.
See, mamma cried, there are Loie
Fuller handkerchiefs, and there are silks
named after that person too. I wonder
who can have my name 1t turned out
that was the namesake of all manner
of wearable articles of femininity. -

The Child Of . vnlaxe,

All the scenes and atmosphere Of ones
native village-if one is fortunate
enough to have been born in such a To-
cality-lie around the memory like the
horizon line, unreachable, impossible.
Even a socalled cosmopolitan man has
never seemed to me a very happy being.
and q cosmopolitan child is above all
things to be pitied. To be identified in
early memories with some limited and
therefore characteristic region-that is
happiness. No child is old enough to be
a citizen Of the world. What donation
allied Americans hasten to stamp as
provincial is. for children at least, a saw
ing grace. You do not call a nest pro-
vincial. All this is particularly true Of
those marked out by temperament for a
literary career. Literature needs for its
material only men, nature and books,
and Of these the first two are every
where and the last are easily transport
able, since you can pile the few supreme
authors Of the world in little corner
Of the smallest log cabin. The Cam
bridge Of my boyhood afforded me all
that human heart could ask for its ele-
mentary training Those who doubt il
might perchance have been the gamers
if they had shared it. "He despises me, "
said Ben Jonson, because I live in an
alley. Tell him his soul lives in an al
ley. Colonel T. W. Higginson in

The Union says that when the
Rock Island county bar meets to con-
slider a candidate for the circuit
bench and expresses its preferences
for one Of its members, that there
after the one so honored "will be the
one and only candidate of the repub-
licans of Rock Island county for the
nomination" That may all depend
on who that '.only one" is. If it is
the Unions "only one" the choice
may not be so easily acquiesced in
as the morning paper imagines.

The Union in accepting The
ARGUS denial Of the charge that any
of the sentiments expressed in the
articles in its columns, to which it
took such violent exception, were
furnished by member of the bar,
does not show the least tendency to
make reparation to any attorney
whom it has accused Of falsehood and
violation of the ethics Of the profess
sion. 1t rather assumes the respon-
sibility of those sentiments and sub

night that the serious allegations

IT is amazing the number of papers
on this continent that are systemat-
ically abusing the administration
because it refuses to pitch headlong
and involve the government of the
United States into war with for
eign power. 1t ought to be enough
to guide the ship of state safely
into peaceful waters without being
assaulted at home, for pursuing
the course that the fathers OF the re-
public declared for when they founded
an enlightened nation free from en-
tangling alliances, and whose pur-
pose was that we attend to our own
business. and to require others to
do the same as far as we are con.
cerned.

The Methodist Meeting.

Since our last issue the revival meet
ing, begun in the Methodist church
nearly four weeks ago, has steadily in
creased in interest. The congregations
became too large for the church at an
early stage Of the meeting, when some
Of the brethren urged its removal TO
the courthouse. This was opposed
by others. but better counsel prevailed
and the congregation has been assem-
bling for the evening services for the
past ten nights at the circuit court
room which has been crowded each
night.
There have been something like 20
conversions all OF whom will mite
with some one OF the churches in town.
The revival has extended to the mid
dle-aged and the young people.
Some children who are not yet in their
"teens" have been the subjects of saw
ing grace.
Brother Price, the preacher, is hold
ing up remarkably well for one lacking
in n robust constitution. On Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons he gave
Brother Shilling charge of the meeting
in order that he might rest as much as
possible. At night he has continued
to discourse to large and attentive au-
diences at the courthouse in which he
has maintained his reputation as an
humble, faithful, sincere preacher of
the word. He delivers the messag.
Of life to the sinner in such tender and
endearing words that the most obsti-
nate and farthest away from Christ be-
come convinced that he is their friend.
They listen to his earnest appeals, and
when responsive to the wooings Of the
spirit, they start at once upon a better
life. Some Of our influential citizens
have answered to the call and profess
ed faith in Christ.
The meeting win continue through
all of this week and may he longer.

Horse Sense.

When cloaks go out Of
style, the dry goods man
cuts prices and sells them
cheap. The clothier does the
same way with mems
clothes. Sometimes a stock
of shoes are damaged by firr
and water, and the shoe man
cuts prices ON them and
clears his shelves.
But what excuse can a gro
Ger give for cutting prices.
Pure food dou't go out of
style. People don't want
Groceries that have been
damaged by fire or water.
The whole truth in a nutshell
is that when a grocer cuts
prices, he cuts quality at the
same time.

Charged With Hog Stealing.

Ed NJ. Gillian, of three miles west
Of Keytesville, came into town last
Tuesday and filed information with
Prosecuting Attorney Wallace, charg-
ing Sam and Chas- CHig) LESLEY with
stealing four hogs from him Of the
value Of S34 on Thursday, Feb. 18th.
Mr.. Gillian went before Justice c.
G. Singleton and swore out a warrant
for the arrest of both Of the LESLEY
boys, and the warrant was served on
Sam'l LESLEY by Sheriff ]. E Demp-
sey last Wednesday morning. Sam
gave bond for his appearance for trial
before Justice Singleton next Thurs
day. His bond was fixed at $500
which he gave with J. c. and ID. b.
Kellogg as securities.
The arrest Of "Hig" LESLEY has
not yet been accomplished. but it is
only a question Of time as to when he
will be apprehended.
The hogs stolen from Mr.. Gillian
were sold to "Ped" Quick. of six
miles northwest of Keytesville. and
were identified by their owner in
Quick's feed lot and recovered.
We understand that Sam LESLEY
admits that he sold II head of hogs
of his own to Quick, and that when
he started to Qlick's with the hogs
that "Hig" aksed him to tlke three
hogs for him and that these, too, were
loaded into the wagon and taken to
Quick.
Sam says furthermore that he
doesn't know where his brother got
the three hogs, but confesses to having
hauled them to Quick for him, which
makes the transaction look rather
murky for Sam. especially when Hig's
past record IS taken into considera-
ton.
On previous occasions Ed M. Gil
liam and ID. w. Bayne have found
hogs belonging to them in Sam Less
'ley's hog pen, but in both Of these In
stances LESLEY has claimed that the
hogs came to his premises and were
put up.
II the Gillian hogs LESLEY sold to
Quick are worth $50 or more the crime
is penitentiary one, bu: if they are
worth less than $50 the offense is only
n misdcmeanor.
Sam LESLEY has employed L. N.
Dempsey to defend him.
