"What Fools These Mortals Be-"

From the Philadelphia Record.
1t could hardly have been imagined that
after lapse of 250 years any people in
the United States could be so servile to the
worst monarchal traditions as to send
wreath to England with the declaration
that America remembers her martyred
king Charles I. Fortunately in America
there are not many of these degenerates.
America remembers Charles l. as one Of
the worst kings that ever reigned.

Aguinaldo Then and Now,

From the Manchester. n. H., Union.
Only few months ago the jngoes were

deed is the man who fights for the liberty
of his people when America is the OPP
pressor. Who will haul down the flag?

careful to wear the 'Hobson spot" the

WORK OF UNION MISSION.
A Means of Educating and Caring for the
Poor of the City.

A Means of Educating and Caring Tor the
Poor of the City.
Rock Island. JAN 11-Editor of The
ARGUs-.We have esta blished union
mission. We believe there are poor
people in Rock Island. We also be-
lieve that the Omnipotent Being has
given them talents that, being poor,
they have been liable to use-unable
to use the music in their hearts for
even the love of God.
I'VE think the well-to-do and rich
ought to all join hands and give these
poor people music lessons and Christ
mas gifts. We think the time has
come when we must make rousing
effort and help the poor
This is the substance of an article
that appeared in Rock Island paper
the Monday following Christmas,
and urging all parties interested in
the union mission work to bring or
send Christmas gifts to the poor chill
dren of Rock Island.
Union mission work-the name
held charm for me. Can it be that
at last there are hearts so interested
in mankind that they can grace such
a name?
Yes; / must haste and see what
noble christian impulse could write
such an appeal to the citizens of Rock
Island.
1 went in and found it 2-story
wooden structure, with one corner of
the entrance used as a barber shop
and the upstairs used as a colored
meeting house. The ground floor is
occupied as a mission house and kind
IL
ten teacher, of Davenport, has class
of about twenty children, whom she
teaches free of charge five afternoons
in the week. Mr.. German, a good
man, breaches twice a week, but l
fear his support is not so great as it
was on this glorious evening, when
all opened their hearts to give these
children presents.
1t was a merry Christmas gather
ing where charity was apparent. 1t
was fine display of a few leading
ladies of education and refinement en-
pertaining n room full of very poor
people. And to think in our glorious
America there is such a thing as
charity.
The time has come when we cannot
be deceived any longer under the dis
guise of union mission. Though l
sell all my goods to feed the poor and
have not love, l am become as sound
ing brass or tinkling cymbal."
1t matters not how many gifts we
may give the poor, they are in some
way cheated out of their birthright,
aud it is not until all things become
that we can join in the true
christian carol, Peace on earth, good
will to men,"

Rock Island friends are anxioGsly

ing Miss Florence Taggart. daughter
of Mayor Thomas Taggart, of India
napolis, who, it is feared, has per-

Florence. and Miss Taggart, and Miss
Margie Woodland, of Chicago. left
Louisville on the launch about the

the boat has been swamped and lost.

Up to this time there has been a
reason for the grocer urging the &C
ceptance of some other breakfast food
when Grape-Nuts were called for; but
that time has passed.
The jobbers now have Grape-Nuts
in stock, as do all principal grocers.
Therefore, if your grocer urges as
an excuse for his lack, that the food
is difficult to obtain, correct him.
The reasons for the popularity of
the new food are:
1st. 1t has 4 new flavor, that of
grape sugar, a delicate crisp, half
sweet that fascinates the user.
I'd. 1t is ready to serve on the in
slant. for it has been entirely and per-
fectly cooked at the factory, and the
question of whether your own cook
can or cannot cook well, does not en-
ter into consideration. No cooking
whatever is required.

l cent per meal.

Combining as it does the natural
phosphate of potash and albumen
