Moral Enect of Pistol rotins.

When a man carries a pistol con-
stantly, slipping it into his pocket ev-
cry morning and taking it out at night.
feeling its constant pressure against
his person, these things tend to famil-
iarIze his mind with the idea of killing
and lowers his conception of the sa-
credness of human life. What does a
man carry a pistol for? To shoot some
other man with. The miserable thing
is made expressly to kill human be-
ings 1t has no other earthly purpose.
What a hardening effect it must have.
then, upon the conscience and heart of
a man who carries it constantly in his
pocket and lives in daily contact with
it and with the idea it constantly sug-
gests to his mind! Let us warn young
men and old ones not to carry pistols,
and then you will avoid doing rash
act.-Marietta (Ga.) Journal.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-04-22
THE OLDEST ORNAMENTS.
Beads, First Used by savages, Are
Still In Vogue.

Beads are certainly the most ancient
of all forms OF the bedecking of the
body unless we except the field and
forest blossoms.
Nobody knows who first invented
beads. Perhaps it was some primitive
savage who found nuts or oak balls
in the forest. drilled by the wood worm
and threaded them together on a stalk
of grass. Anything and everything
with n hole in it served at the begin
ming for beads-cowrie shells. fish
teeth, claws of beasts, striped and
spotted seeds and the like. But the
great age of beads began with the in
vention of glass. and the Egyptians,
Carthaginians and PhPnicians gener-
ally were skilled craftsmen at bead
making. Their methods were much
the same as may be seen today in
Venice or any other chief seat of the
art.
1t would astonish many new wearers
of beads to learn how immense is their
production and how wide their dis
tribution. Venice alone has long been
accustomed to send forth every ten
years 100000 quintals of beads, worth
90, 900 lire, and in many other spots
a steady manufacture is always pro-
ceeding to supply the Unsuitable de-
mands of Zanzibar. The dusky belle
must have her ornaments substantial,
since they will pass through many
rude proof in cave and kraal. And
your well made venetian bead will
practically last forever, unchanged in
beauty. There must be plenty of beads
worn at this day in Africa which were
left there by the traders of King Solo
mon, who trafficked to Ophir, or those
more daring mariners of Tyre and ST.
don who sailed for trade to the land
of Punt and perhaps even to the Fam
beZi river.-London Mail.

ARat showed Him a Mine.

The action of a rat led \. Il. IngoldS-
by to the discovery of rich gold mine
in Arizona. He named the property
the Rat Hole mine.
Mr. Ingoldsby had been spending sew
eral months near Mammoth, on the
San Pedro river, in Arizona. His pur-
pose was to enjoy the hunting and
make n collection of the animals and
minerals of the southwest. He pitched
his tent in the canyon of the San Pedro.
In the Santa Catarina mountains.
He had no neighbors and was for a
long time unable to account for the
disappearance of small articles that
he left lying about his camp. At last
he noticed that when anything was
taken something was left in its place.
This was usually a bit of stone or
wood. The culprit he found to be a
large rodent of the species known as
the trading rat. The habits of the
animal made an interesting study for
Mr.. Ingoldsby, and he often lay awake
at night to watch for his visitor.
A silver spoon was missing one morn
ing and in its place was a piece of
quartz carrying free gold. This still
more excited Mr.. Ingoldsby's curiosity,
and, after several attempts, he succeed
ed in following the animal to its home.
Near by was the ledge from which the
gold bearing quartz had been taken.
Mr.. Ingoldsby made an examination
thorough enough to prove that his
discovery was of considerable value

Illinois Lnf1rmary and
School of Natural Healing

Has secured additional rooms in con-
nection with those which it now oc-
cupies. Having outgro wn it's old
apartments, the Illinois Infiirmary
and School of Natural Healing has Sc
cured one-half of the entire 4th floor
of the Mitchell & Lynde building. Rock
Island. This has become necessary
by the dozens of patients who are now
being treated and must be accommo-
dated at this Grand Institution for
the treatment and cure of the afflicted,
and where so many people of the Tri-
Cities and surrounding country have
been made happy once more in the
realization of perfect health and all
the pleasures perfect health brings
with it.
The success of the President, DIR. j.
AlvinHorne has been truly phenomenal,
having been in Rock Island only three
months and has cured dozens of pa
TENTS whose testimonials have APP
peared in this paper from time to
time. and whose practice has become
too large for him to treat all of his
patients scientifically and thoroughly.
For this reason he has now associated
with him the Celebrated Physician
and Natural Healer of Chicago, DIR.
r. Austin Orr, who comes to Rock ISL
and very highly recommended for abil-
ity, as skillful specialist in all Chronic
Nervous and Special disc as es of Me-
and Women, as well as being a per
feet gentleman of the highest type.

Dunno, but yo' jest remember what
I say
THE old woman was right" contin-
ued Zeb. THAT bar never showed up
no mo- around my place. Long bout
the fust of November 1 started out
with my gun and dawg to gather him
in, and was reckonin on the value of
his hide to git boots and shoes fur the
winter. 1 routed him out after n long
tramp, and what dye think he did:
Findin that he must die, he headed fur
Sam Harper's place, three miles away,
and he actually went right up TO the
doah and laid down and seemed to beg
Sam to come out and shoot him. He
was dead and bein skinned when | got
thar, and all l got was piece of the
fresh meat 1 had had a heap of fun,
hut that bar had beat me out of my
winter boots to pay fur it."
