Departure Regretted.

''DuriBg their residence in Spring

many friends and universal regret is
expressed that they are to leave. Mr.

an honorable. high-toned christian
gentleman whose influence will be

Woodnen Notes.

Among prominent Woodmen here
are George w. Albert, state deputy
for Iowa, and George Frinck, district
de putty from Des Moines.
The Des Moines foresters of Gus
S NTH camp. 2766, remained in town
over today to view the attractions of
the three cities.
The excursion given by the fores-
tiers of Camp 20 on the Winona and
barge last evening was a success So
cially, but the mum Der attending was
somewhat curtailed by the fact that
excursionists could not remain for it
and make connections with their
trains.
During last evening visitors were
received informally at the head office
by Mai. G. w. Halves. The electric
lights were inclined to operate poor
ly, but after awhile the Examinations
were as bright as usual and all enjoy
ed the trip through the building aud
were entertained with music by the
prize-winning Dixon band.
The picnic association at its meet
ing yesterday struck from the bylaws
the section making Rock Island
the permanent location of the
annual picnic. This action was
urged by Rock Island as 4
result of a manifest feeling by Wood
men of other cities in the association
to the effect that the larger towns of
the district should alternate in enter
tanning the picnic. However, when
it came TO deciding where next years
picnic should be held the mem bers of
the association believed Rock Island
could not be improved upon as To-
cation. But if in the future any
of the other cities comes to the con-
clusion it wants the picnics, it now
has a chance to make application to
the ASSOCIATION and show that it can
the crowds.

WAS A GREAT DAY FOR THE CITY
Thousands of Dollars Left Among the
Business Men.

Thousa DDS of Dollars Left Among the
Business Men.
From a business standpoint the day
proved better than a circus. Thou
sands of dollars were left in r ock ISL
and by the visitors, and business men
reaped a just reward for the enter
prise they had shown in making the
city attractive and pleasant for the
visitors. The municipality did its
part to make the guests of the day
feel at home. As much laXity as
consistent was given in all cases of
infractions of the laws of good order.
As a matter of fact, however, the
crowd as a whole was well behaved
and there was occasion for but few
trips of the patrol wagon about town.
The visitors were permitted, too.

which was right. When the city is
entertaining the entertained should
be made to feel at home. THE ARGUS
has been informed of but a single in
stance of a disposition to take
advantage of the situation on
the part of a Rock Island business
man, who doubled his prices for the
day. Not at all surprising, this man
was one of the few who declinded
to contribute to the success of
the entertainment of the visitors,
and yet seized upon the opportunity
which had been provided through the
enterprise of others to make greedy
rake-off. The incident has been freely
commented upon, and the attention of
THE ARGUS has been called 10 the mat
ter by numerous indignant citizens.
1t is the first occurrence of this kind
that has SO far happened to mar the
good name that Rock Island enjoys as
a hospitable city, and it is hoped it
will be the last.

Hon. John Sullivan, of Kansas,
spoke on the Royal Neighbors of
America. He said that before the

the Woodmen had every good

that was-woman. Hence the origin

The Ox-Perker,

These starlings not only rid the
animals they frequent of ticks and
other vermin, bnt they often peck at
sores on oxen and donkeys until they
form cavities, which measure some
times two inches or more in diameter,
and as much in depth; they actually
do eat the flesh and drink the blood
of these animals. Oxen submit quite
placidiy to this process of being eaten
alive aud seem none the worse for it
afterward, but donkeys show their OBJ
jections by trying to rid themselves

A Little knight.

Not to look at. No. He looked
rather funny as he laboriously climbed
the cars, for his legs were very short.
and he could get no help from his
hands, for one carried his dinner
bucket and the other held something
squeezed up tight.
But the conductor knew him well,
and helped him up, and he appeared
in the doorway, smiling broadly at
the passengers, who all smiled back
into the round, freckled face with such
a mere button OF q nose that 1t looked
as il II had been pounded in.
A little friend OF his, who had evil
IDENTITY been crying, was sitting in the
other end OF the car, and the little
knight made his way up to where she
was sitting. 'Hullo, jenny" he
said in his cheerful voice.

catch in her voice, 1--WE lost my dime,

A Good Engli.h Cu.tom.

Last March I landed In England,
and remained there until late in July.
I visited several pleasant English
homes, and, Of course, noticed many
things to which was unaccustomed.
do not know that anything struck
me more pleasantly than the absence
of the nervous, 'all.tired- to.death, I"
''all.out- of.sorts" person. At first l
accepted II merely as a welcome fact.
one Of the ''customs OF tho country"
Later I began to cast about for rea'
son.
Then, OF sudden, what seemed to
me to be the true solution OF the 'ner-
yous" problem fashel upon me.
There was q large blister on my heel
at the time, and / was literally foot
sore, beautifully and comfortably tired,
but In no wise exhausted.
'Tt is the walking" I murmured.
The more / thought OF It, the more I
became convinced that II must be the
universal English habit OF taking a
walk .....,h contributes SO much to
the health and wsll.beipg Of the
people.
They seemed to regard the daily
walk as much OF q matter Of course as
the breakfast. Not listless, david.
ling stroll, but brisk, business like,
and to the heroic stranger, who for
bore from patriotic reasons to com.
plain, often all.too. long tramp.
Bits OF time, which no definite oc.
c,ipation filed, we're eagerly utilized.
''Let's 60 for a walk before dinner!"
''We've time to 90 to the spinney.
aud see the hyacinths before tea, :"
And SO on. 1.
The children had their appointed
hours for the national exercise, upon
which nothing was allowed to tres
pass. I remember one walk in which
was personally conducted" by two
English schoolboys. We went, l sup.
pose, about six miles, through lanes
shaded by high hedges, across fields,
by foot paths and stiles, and home
through / ark famous for centuries
for Its giant trees.
My companions made friendly calls
at numerous birds nests--'jnst to
see how the families are getting
along" they said They turned aside
TO o little pond, to show me an inn
mense frog, an ancient acquaintance.
They knew every wild flower, and Just
where to look for newcomers. They
recognized by name every bird that
started from hedgerow, ditch or field.
"Young England" then, grows mp
thoroughly imbued with the principle
that walking Is duty, O necessity
and q pleasure. l believe that this Is
largely the secret OF the national
sturdiness and strength, and II might
be we'll for as 10 take leaf from the
