HOW OFTEN

We hear ladies say 30! l have no
time to do my own sewing" We
wish to say to.these ladies that by the
use of the Diamond Garment Cutter
System, they can cut and haste and
hit dress in the same time it takes to
hunt some one else to do the work,
besides getting a much better and
easier fitting garment than can pos
sibly be made with any of the old
fashioned models or chart systems.
How many advantages to be de-
rived from knowledge of this sys-
tenn and the satisfaction of knowing
that the dress question is settled for
ever.
By the use of the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter any lady can fit any
kind or style of garment without any
trouble or worry.
No retitting, no rebasting, no trying
on half a dozen times. but ninety
nine times in a hundred n perfect
success.
No special talent is required for our
methods more than is required to
learn the multiplication table and
any one who can read and write can
learn the Diamond Garment Cutter.
We employ special instructors out
side of the class rooms. who will call
at your residence and fully explain to
you this system of garment cutting
and fitting. This is one Of our meth
DDS of advertising and it does not
matter whether you wish to take the
class instruction or not the explana-
ton will interest any lady who de-
sires perfect fitting garments.

ON THE DIAMOND.

The Rock Island and Davenport
High school baseball teams played
the first game of their series of three
at the Twelfth street grounds Satur-
day afternoon. The Rock Island boys
won very handily, but the score
scarcely gives fair estimate of the
relative ability of the two teams.
The Davenport boys steadily i'm
proved as the game progressed, and
held their rivals down to q few runs
in the latter part of the game.
The Rock Islands were steadier both
at the bat and in the field. They sue
ceeded in getting the Davenport con-
tingent in the air the first inning, and
they failed to recover for several
times at bat.
In the first inning Davenport looked
good for several runs. With one out,
Ballord hit safe and Long. followed
with double to left field which Wiess
fielded in quickly enough to prevent
Ballord from going farther than third.
The next two men, however. sent
easy ones to BarnharC and the chance
for a score was gone.
Rock Island secured six in its half
of the first on several hits. two bases
on balls and an error. and kept on
piling up the runs until the sixth in
ming, when Davenport took COM
mendable brace and the game was an
even thing from this on. The score:

positive Principles. -

MIR. Bryan was asked the other day
why he declared:
The people are with US this year,
and they are in sympathy with the
principles which shall be EN- bodied
il the Kansas City platform, and
which represent the feelings of the
great mass of the American people. ="
And his answer, which appeals to
every American citizen who has the
welfare of his country at heart. was:
Because every principle of the
democratic party is positive princi-
pie, more positive than was the dec
iaration of the republican party in
1896, and while my party has grown
all the while in its firmer adherence
to principle and positive declaration,
the repu blican party is 'trekking' in
just the opposite direction. 1t is less
positive and its adherence to its own
heretofore fixed declaration of faith is
now quite disregarded. ;"

"Laymen call our life exciting and
think that we see lot of the world, !"
said the navy man, but it's a big mis-
take. What do we know OF any of the
ports we visit? The pier. other boats
that may happen to be there at the
same time, and the English club of the
town-thats all we see. And it's all
we know about After you've touched
at a few ports and gone through the
same performance over and over again,
you get mighty tired of it.
"As for our life, what is it but a
perpetual club life? There are a few
professional club demands. but the rest
of our time is spent in much the same
way that n man spends his At his club
in smoking, reading, in swapping
lies. in making oneself agreeable to
ones friends who may do him the hon.
or OF n visit and in making oneself
agreeable to some other fellows
friends who may do him the honor
of a visit-thats the sum OF our ex-
istence, and when you think that's it
for day in and day out, you can but
agree that a whole lifetime OF 1t might
begin to pail.
It's like wearing evening clothes all
the time or spending ones life at the
opera, or always having dessert and
nothing else for dinner. All play and
no work makes a dull boy of almost
any Jack. L sometimes wonder how
any of us navy men manage to rise
superior to our opportunities for sink
ing into stupidity's lowest depths."-

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower.

He once Knew Something.


A middle aged gentleman who has
been looking over his old school exam
ination papers writes 10 The Academy
expressing Lis chagrin at the discov
cry of the fact that he knows less than
he did years ago. Il knew some things
then-arithmetic, for example. Today
1 am at the mercy of any waiter who
brings me change. At booking offices
l keep vast crowds waiting and miss
ing their trains while do laborious
subtraction sums in my head, but at

Look at this:
Three graZiers, \, Il and G, rent
piece of pasture land for a month. A
puts on 81 cattle for 81 days, B 10 for
"a days and % for % days. If at the
end of the month the rent and other
charges amount to f23 5s. 10d.. how
much of this ought to be paid by
each?
81 could do that in 1884. 1 couldn't
do it now. 1 have no idea where to be-
gin. 1t may be easy, but the point is
that L have not the key. There used
to be a jugglery with Y. and could
manage it. Now that l pay income tax
and have statements of account from
my publisher every half year L can
manage it no longer. And L seem to
