self-respect for the world, Susan" said
her mother, crisply, ''but seeing you
are going t. put those beliefs into prac-
tice during your visit 1 hope you won't

ions and dress the brocade furniture

At dinner that night Alkaline began
on her third helping of pudding before
her grandmother, who had been
squirming, finally opened her mouth.
She'll be SICK" she said to her daugh-
ter.
Susan looked mildly surprised. "If
Alkaline wants a dozen servings of pud-
ding, mother" she said gently, she
is to have them. If she is sick she will
see the foolishness of g%reediness, and
not do it again. I never interfere"
Mrs. Graham shut her lips tightly.
There's a bottle of %painkiller in the
medicine chest" she remarked incon-
sequentially. And the hot water bag
is hanging on the hook. l dislike to
be disturbed after | have once got to

Alkaline looked at her grandmother
contemptuously. HIM" she said be-
tween spoonfuls, when l have aches

sit around me to wait on me. Mamma
says l am not to be repressed. Il
would interfere with my pro-prog-pro'
gression."
Mrs. Graham gasped and her hands
twitched. Her daughter was placid an
beaming. Dear A%daline," she said
smoothly, understands so cleverly m.

is so comforting"

Mrs. Graham is a delicate and prim
lady, so possibly she did not snort as
she arose, but it sounded much that
way. And in her eye there was a light
at which in years gone by Susan had
iquaked. 1t was just as well she did

Mrs. Winifred Allender's Letter.

"DEAR MRS. PTNKHAM:-I feel it my duty to write
and tell you of the benefit 1 have received from your
wonderful remedies. Before taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, l was a misery to my
self and every one around me. / suffered terrible
pain in my back, head, and right side, was very
nervous, would cry for hours. Menses would appear
sometimes in two weeks, then again not for three
or four months. l was so tired and weak, could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through my
heart that would almost cause me to fall.
"My mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinl5ham's
Vegetable Compound. 1 had no faith in 1t, but to
please her 1 did SO. The first bottle helped me so
much that 1 continued it's use. I am now well and
weigh more than / ever did in my life."-MRS.

tiful in the appearance of
the city, crystalized by the
formation of the Home Improve
menJ association of Rock Island,
with Mrs. Julia Rosenfield president
and Mr.. Jackson secretary.
The new organization is modelled
upon the lines of those of other
cities, particularly in the east, and
it aims to begin with the home sur
roundings of the members. Both
adults and children are eligible to
membership, it being especially de-
sirable to enlist school children in
the work. The membership fee was
fiNeI at 81 for adults and so cents for
children and by arrangements which
it is possible to make the sum will be
more than repaid by the plants and
seeds which will be distributed
among the members.
1t is the purpose of the associa-
ton to see to the appointment of n
committee from each church and
school in the city to look after the
lawns and surroundings of the build
ipgs used and later prizes will be Of
fered for those whose work brings
about the best results.
The move is meeting with the cor
dial approval of all classes in TIE
cities where it has been inaugure ted
and there is particular interest in it
here among the ladies who are most
active in carrying on the work.

HamperIng Movement of Earth.

THE washing of the ocean tides is
hampering the movement of the
earth each year" said the speaker.
The earth is like n top. 1t might
spin on without losing a second were
il not for influences of the air and
like forces. Four million years ago
the earth was spinning around once
every twenty-three hours instead of
every twenty-four. We can go still
further back and find that the earth
was once making its revolutions every
six hours. All this we draw from
our knowledge of the little ripples of
the ocean. The tides depend upon
the moon. and at the period when the
moon was closer to us the tides were
much stronger. For centuries the
moon has been edging away.
Next to the fixed stars the most
sights to the astrono-
mers at present are the spiral nebulae.
From the time when the nebulae
were first scoffed at by those who
thought the vision of the astrono-
mers was impaired until few years
ago, when it was thought that spiral
nebulae were rare in the heavens,
great activity has prevailed among
astronomers I'm discovering these
sights In the heavens. Through our
improvement in apparatus we have

MINERS ON STRIKE.

DISAGREE OVER WORKING HOURS
Eighty Employees Out and Coal
HauIers Are Made
Island.

Owing to n strike in two of the
principal mines southeast of Milan
the transfers who make a living
hauling coal to the three cities from
the south are for the most part tenn
pOrarily out of a job.
The strike began early in the week
at Pryce's and Sackfield Bros. mines,
involving about fifty men at the
former place and thirty at the latter.
The trouble seems to be over The
length of time the miners are reQuir-
ed to stay in the mines and the men
claim the operators have been fore
ing them to violate the terms of the
agreement signed last January.
Transfers Idle.
The entire product of the mines in
question is hauled away by teams
and the lack of storage facilities
prevents coal being gotten out to
any great extent after the daily
round of wagons are loaded. As it
has been in the past, four hours
work is sufficient to load the teams
and then there is very little TO do
The men claim the operators keep
them in the mines the full eight
hours, for about half of which they
have no ears on which to get out
their coal, the tramways being used
in hauling out slack, and therein vio-
lating the mutual agreement.
Long Fight in Prospect.
There is no prospect of settle
ment, both sides claiming they will
make a finish fight. The only mine
i'm the district that is working is the
Parker mine and only five or six men
are employed there. On the mems
side the strike is being engineered by
local 362. NJ. w. of \. The cutting
off of the coal that is teamed to the
city is beginning to be felt and the
agents of other companies are reap
ing the benefit.

Sir Robert described the chasms
on the moon, the picturesque views
of the satellite, and gave an explain
alton of the consistency of that planet.
He cited the succession of life on
this globe and gave glimpse
through the corridors of time" de-
scribing the mighty Atlantosaurus,
the birth of the moon, the dawn of
light and sample of what the earth
was once like.
Meets Club Members.
Following the lecture an i'm
promptu reception was held on the
stage to members of the audience
who were especially anxious to meet
Sir Robert, and later members of the
press club assembled in the parlors
at the Kimball house, where each
had an opportunity of word with
him and where he was officially in
formed of his election as an honor
airy member of the club and pre-
scented with credentials. In pri-
vate conversation Sir Robert
is fully as interesting as he
is on the rostrum and the members
found him easy of access and alto
-gether delightful. His description of
the sensations he passed through
yesterday morning when for the first
time in his life he saw the Mississippi
river was characteristic of the man.
He also made humorous references
to his experiences in getting used to
the hustle of Americans. Early
this morning he left Davenport via
the @ for Cedar Falls, there to APP
pear this evening before the Iowa
State Normal school which was en-
terprising enough to secure him at
considerable expense. From there he
goes to Minneapolis, and then re-
turns east.
Keeps All Promises.
In bringing before the people of
the three cities Sir Robert Ball the
members of the Tri-City Press club
feel they have fulfilled all prom
Uses mace in connection Herewith
and at the same time have added to
the prestige the organization wishes
to establish for its annual events.
Thanks are due on many hands; first
to the public for n gratifying patron
age; second to the educators of the
tri-cities who aided in spreading To-
cally the knowledge of Sir Robert
and his work: and third To the well
known quartet of musical artists
whose efforts added so much to the
pleasure of the entertainment.
Among others TO whom obligations
are due may be mentioned the Schle-
gel-McNevin Piano company. of Dav-
export. who kindly furnished q Bauer

The lecture of Sir Robert Ball, of
England, on Time and Tide" was
heard by a full house at the Burtis in
Davenport. where he appeared under
the auspices of the Tri-City Press
club.
1t was Il select audience, one that
had come to be instructed as well as
amused, and no one was disappoint-
ed. Sir Robert was all that had been
claimed for him and more. He did
not cndeavor to include all starland

points of particular interest and
brought them out with force and
clearness which appealed to the I'M

and merited the enthusiastic ap-
plause il received. Following the
concert Sir Robert Ball was intro
duced by Prof. Frederick Starr, of
the University of Chicago, who is
conducting researches for the Acad-
envy of Science in Davenport and who
is personally acquainted with the
famous astronomer. Prof. Starr eX-
tended the greetings of the Tri-City
Press club to the audience and spoke
of the pleasure it gave him to intro
duce n man of such eminence. He
made reference to the occasion a
year ago when the club brought to
the tri-cities James Whitcomb Riley
and reiterated the announcement
that the club proposes to present one
attraction annually and that the best

Pleased with Reception.

Sir Robert began with a reference
in feeling terms to the reception that
has been accorded him on this visit
to America, declaring that i'm no pre-
vious five weeks of his life had so
much of varied experience and real
pleasure been his portion as during
that period just passed. His lecture
was illustrated with faultless lime
light pictures, in the presentation of
which he was assisted by DR.. p. RAJ
denhausen. of Davenport, and which
greatly aided in bringing out the
points involved.

ing TO the lecturer. day will be

ences. December wheat closed Is higher,

in wheat and flour were equal to $4,000

Corn was dull, with a small interest
