OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TALES OF THE TOWN.

Electricity claimed another victim
in Rock Island during the past week.
1t was only small galvsnic current,
but it did the business quite effective
ly, and certain prominent young
msn has not seen his very best girl
since leaving her at home Monday
night. He is engaged in taxing his
fertile brain trying to fix up a nice
plausible tale to fit peculiar case.
The young man, whom we will call
Mr.. Short. is known among his friends
as something of good fellow, though
not excessively so. He is simply Of
liberal views and has been known to
tip the crock several times when
the provocation was particularly
strong. But in the young lady above
referred to, whom we will call Miss
Long. though that isn't her real name,
he has found determined opposition
to all forms of dissipation. Her Pc
sition upon these inclinations Of
masculine frailty has been so
clearly defined. in fact. that the young
man, being ordinarily something of q
diplomat, recently thought il best to
register solemn vow to hand all his
old cronies the finger and forever
steer as wide as possible from saloons.
Now it happens that Miss Long is
employed in an Office that is located
less than mile from Second avenue.
In truth, she can at any time in the
day, with very slight exerion. get in
position commanding an interesting
portion of that 'thoroughfare. This.
Mr.. Short seems never to have real
lied. judging from what has trans
pired. One dav early in the present
week, while travelling along Second
avenue, he was overtaken by an in
ward desire, and, pausing only long
enough to expectorate thou ,htfulIy
upon the sidewalk, he entered high
license emporium.
Strangely enough, at that very mo-
ment, Miss Long happened to be gaz.
ing into Second avenue. MIR Short,
by a personal popularity, was read
lily recognized and the place where
he disappeared from Wow was
also noted. Being quick to sizs
up a situation, Miss Long turned
to the telephone. She didn't waste
any time looking at the catalogue
Give me the Dutch Uncle saloon"
ohO SOulI Wdb
prised, but complied and remained in
the circuit. ''Ii Mr.. Short there? |
wish to speak to him. please" That
gentleman, munching couple of
coffee grains, stepped comp osedly to
the instrument. A strange feminine
voice came over the phone. lis this
Mr.. ShortP" eyes, ma'am." Then
a voice no longer strange, "I'd like
to know, young man, what you are
doing in that saloon?"
Mr.. Short is known among his
friends as a quick witted fellow.
Many's the time. they wi tell Jou,
he has saved himself from immi-
nent peril by being able to say the
right thing at the right time. But
not so now. His only reply was
a mbled "All right" Then he
hung up the receiver and sneaked out
the back door.

tac cuarloIs or those wno are more than conquerors. So far from being driven back, all the F gates are wide open for our entrance. We are march ing on and marching on, and our every step brings us nearer to the city.
 At what hour we shall enter We have no power to foretell, but once enlisted amid the blood washed host our en- trance Is certain. IL may be In the bright monday or the dark midnight It may be when the air Is laden with springtime fragrance or chilled with falling snows. But enter we must and enter we will through the grace offered us as the chief of sinners. Higher hills than any I have spoken of will guard that city. More radiant waters than I saw In the Russian valley will pour through that great metropolis. No rag Ing confagration shall drive us forth, for the only fires kindled in that city will be the fires of splendor that shall ever hoist and never die. Reaching that shining gate, there will be a part ing, but no tears at the parting. There will be an eternal farewell, but no sad ness in the utterance. Then and there we will part with one of the best friends we ever had. No place for her in heaven, for she needs no heaven. While love and joy and other graces enter heaven. she will stay out. Pa tience. beautiful Patience, long suffer Ing Patience, will at that gate say: "Goodby. l helped you in the battle of life, but now that you have gained the triumph you need me no more. bound up your wounds, but now they are all healed. soothed your bereayements, but you pass now into the reunions of heaven. I can do no more for you, and there Is nothing for me to do in city where there are no burdens to carry. Goodby. l go back into the world from which you came up to resume my tour among the hospitals and sickrooms and bereft households and almshouses. The cry of the worlds sorrow reaches my ears, and 1 must descend. Up and down that poor suffering world I will go to assuage and comfort and sustain until the world itself expires and on all its mountains andin all its valleys and on all it's plains there Is not one soul left that has need of patience"

Eccentric Testntors.

Joseph Dalky takes the opportunity afforded by his will of insulting his son-ln-law in terms which doubtless had a pungency once. but which arc hardly comprehensible to the modern reader: ''I give to my daughter, Ann Spencer, a guinea for ring or any other bauble she may like better; give to the lout, her husband, one penny to buy him lark whistle. and this legacy I give him as a mark of my apprecia- tion of his prowess and nice honor in drawing his sword on me Cat my own table), naked and unarmed as 1 waS and he well fortified with custard."
 A grewsome legacy Is that of Philip Thicknesse: "I leave my right hand, to be cut ofr after my death. to my son, and I desire 1t may be sent to him in hopes that such sight may remind him of his duty to God after having so long abandoned the duty he owed to a father who once affectionately loved him."
 Another father seems apparently to have begun his will with the determi. nation of punishing an unruly son, but as the fairy stories say. all ends hap oily. We refer to the will of Richard Crawshay, the founder of the famous Welsh ironworks. 1t runs thus: ''To my only son, who never would follow my advice and has treated me rudely In very many instances, instead of making him my executor and residuary legatee (as till this day he was) give him f1OO, 0"-Chambers' Journal.

THE BOOZ CASE.
Congress to Investigate Cadets
 Death.

Congress to Investigate Cadets
 Washington, Dec. 5.-Representative Driggs has introduced in the house a res Olution providing for an investigation by the secretary of war into the circum- stances of the hazing of Booz. The reso- lution was referred to the committee on military affairs, which will probably bring in a favorable report. In that event it would be adopted by the house.
 Secretary Root asserted that there was nothing to investigate. This assertion is based upon a statement he has received from Colonel Mills, superintendent of the academy, and which is understood to be identical with that made in the press. Adjutant General Corbin subsequently made public this memorandum: ''Oscar l.. Booz entereS the Military academy as cadet from the Seventh Pennsylvania district on June 20. 1S9S. His resignation was rendered on Sept. 29, 1898. with the consent of his father. It was accepted Sept. 30, 1898, to take ef- feet Oct. 31, 1898.
 He was granted leave of absence by Colonel Mills from Oct. [ until Oct. 31. 1898. He said in his letter of resignation that My reasons for resigning are due to
 
 records of the department furnish no further information concerning Cadet Booz."
 Adjutant General Corbin added that nc complaint whatever had been received by the department from the young mans father. He insisted that there was nc reason why the department should inves. tigate reports which were known to be absolutely without foundation. Rear Admiral Van Reypen, surgeon general of the navy, said that the report that young Booz had developed tubercu. losis of the throat as a result of being forced to swallow mixture of catsuI and tabasco sauce was ridiculous. All the officials of the army and navy departments seem to be standing together in their attempts to make light of the
 charges preferred by the parents of the dead cadet.

An old Time English Election.

The only contest which occurred at Cation within historic memory was curious enough. Sir Mark Wood. who had been one of its members for sevcr- al years, had as his colleague In the parliament of 1912 Sir William Con- greve, the inventor of the famous Con- greye rocket" The latter resigned in 1916, and the baronet wished his own son to fill the vacancy.
 There were only three voters In the constituency, Sir Mark. his son and his butler, named Jennings, but as the son was away and the butler had quarreled with his master an opportunity was af- forded for singular revenge. Jen- nings refused to second Sir Marks nomination of his son and proposed himself, and a deadlock was averted only by Sir Mark coming to terms with the refractory butler, whose nomina- ton he seconded in order to induce him to act as seconder to his son.
 Matters being thus put formally In train, Sir Mark arranged with Jen. nings that the formers vote should be alone given, and the final state of the poll at Cations only known contest stood thus: Wood CTory), I; Jennings (Whig), 0.-Westminster Gazette.
