Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1896-12-10

A young professional man has re-
ceived an epistle from . Davenport
maiden which has set him to think
ing.
The letter is very nicely written
and covers half dozen pages. in
which she assures him that she
knows him, having been smitten
with him the first time her glimmers
met his manly form. She goes on
in language that is little fowry at
times aud tells what a pleasure it
would afford her to gain the &C.
quaintauce of the young man, with
whom she finally makes an engage
ne1t, having designated Turner
Grand opera house as the place, and
Sunday afternoon, when concerts are
he'd there, as the time.
She explained further that she is
an unusually small ststured lady,
dark but attractive. and could be
easily distinguished in a crowd. She
said she would be seated in the bal
cony on the west side OF the house.
The Rock Island man was over
bright and early to meet the Miss.
whom he concluded must be q
cEarmer. He began his search as
soon as he arrived at the appointed
place. He psraded around the lower
fpor rubber-necking up in the bal
cony until many thought he was
either crippled or not used to get
ting under such high rooted places.
He waited until the crowd began to
leave. when he stationed himself on
the outside and scanned the face OF
every one who went out.
Bat the little lady with the dark
complexion wasn't there. Now he
is wondering If somebody is not try
ing to have fun with him.

AmuSmente.

OF "The Boy Tramp" to be seen
at Harp-r's theatre Saturday even
ing. the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat SAYS: '.The play is strongly
melo-dramatic. and throughout the
four acts abounds in strong and tell
ing situations, which are heightened
by realistic seenery and thrilling eli
makes. The language is excellent.
and the construction considerably
above the regular order of such class
OF melo-dramas. In fact it can be
said to be the best of its kind yet
presented here"
The Prodigal Father" says the
Providence Journal, "scored a grand
success at the Providence opera
house last evening. Farce come
dies seem to be the rule this season,
but The ProdigaI Father is easily
the best that has been seen in this
city this season. The play itself
furnishes plenty of opportunity fol
fun, and the company is fully capa
BILE o, taking advantage of each op
portunity. Then there are excellent
speciality artists in the company who
find an opportunity to amuse the au
dience outside the lines OF the play
In fact, it is the excellence of th,
company that puts it ahead of it,
predecessors. Many people wer,
turned away last night unable te
gain even standing room" This il
the attraction to be seen at Harper
theatre Sunday night.

without hearing, If we are only happier
and lighter-hearted for the hearth-stone
notes of it all At the risk of the anti.
climax, the Stanton column in the Consti-
tuition comes aromatic and stimu-
lating in the midst Of the coli
umns as the coffee that
your mother raade" Georgia may be
beating all the Southern States in the
varied work Of her young men And if
she do not talk about them enough, she's
better than tho others in this regard.
But Stanton and Harris and Edwards do
not need the talking now.
Edwards has written stuff with more
artistic finish than his Sons and. Daugh-
ters" In fact, he seems to have taken
little pains with the workmanship Of that
fascinating story. That it has the swift
dramatic quality af Gunter's stories, there
is no doubt, ard set Page has never ex-
celed in workmanship some Of his short
stories. Few Of sny y0ung Southern alI-
thors seem to attach as importance
to workmanship rs does Page: it is my
opinion based upon ssTne knowledge of the
matter that Page does not turn out a
piece OF work, wi5hout doing it over at

falls behind Page in this regard, and yet
for melody and volume and poetry, Cor
don, to my mind, is Pages superior.

few more and Gordon seemed to have
stopped-but stsopeu only like n Strad-
verius when it was put aside

prospers in his profession Of

there is nothing but flowers there He
can plant a csstns seed almost and grow
rose. But theTe must be no inyidious
comparison OF Page with Gordon. They
each know that one is rs great as another.
And all shis is rambling negligentIv:

the wonder OF the worldwide interest
awakened by these Southern young men
from smaa provincial towns, just as Mac

Drumtoeaty to get the car of the human
heart everywhere. This is a phase of
literary development in the South which
is interesting at least to me, and hope to
be able to touch upon il again, specially
in the sense, of what seems the necessary
thing in writing nowadays to bring its
author fame-so far, at least, as America
is concerned. One of these essentials in the
rough is: stick to your own crowd. Just
as have seen masters in Germany listen
with deep silence to the folk-songs of the
South, so the cultured ear now is listening
for folk-songs everywhere And there
seems to be another principle-but it will
keep till another time

TIE PALMS RECORDS.

Marvellous things are claimed of palm

seen the prophecies OF paImists come true
in actual life. Telling the past by the
lines Of the hand is, however, almost
a new art. There is man in town who
believes he can do it, at least so far as
marriages are concerned. Still further
he claims that the lines Of the hand show
whether a marriage in the past ended in
divorce and which party it was that OBJ
tsined the divorce.

A SERMON IN THE SENATE.

It isn't often that the Senate is called
upon to listen to a sermon, but if the
eulogy of the Ten Commandments which
Senator Morgan delivered yesterday af-
ternoon wasn't as good a sermon as was
ever spoken from any pulpit, then may
the mouths Of ministers be forever hush
ed.
The immigration bill was under consid-
GRAFTON, and Senator Morgan wanted an
amendment adopted by which all immi-
grants should be able to read the Ten
Commandments and the Constitution be-
fore they received their naturalization pa
pers. 1t was in no spirit of levity that
the Senator made his proposition; on the
contrary, nothing could have been more
earnest and dignifed and eloquent than
the words in which the Ten Command
ments We're lauded. They were, said the
Senator, the basis of all law, and no
Christian nation would dispense with
them to-day. 1t made no difference
whether the man believed in them or in
tended to practice them. There ought
to be at least one time in the mans life"
said the Senator, with fervent tones,
when his mind is impressed with the
fundamental truths, so that he may have
brighter light and purer atmosphere
in respect to that citizenship with which
we are about to crown him."
