Monumental Rrasses.

At the beginning of the thirteenth
century it occurred to some one to
preserve the likeness of his departed
friend, as well as the symbols of his
rank and station. SO effigies were in
troduced upon the surface of the slabs
and were carved fiat, but ere fifty
years had passed away the art of the
sculptor produced magnificent mOnu-
mental ettigies. Knights and mobiles
lie clad In armOr with their ladies by
their sides. bishops and abbots bless
the spectators with their uplifted right
hands, judges lie in their official gafb
and merchants with the emblems of
their trade At their feet lie animals,
usually having some heraldic connec-
ton with the deceased or symbolical
of his work-e. e., n dragon is trod-
den down beneath the feet of n bishop,
signifying the defeat of sin as the re-
suit of his ministry. The heads of
effigies usually rest on cushions, which
are sometimes supported by two an

visiting Cards In sweden.

An old Swedish custom is for people
to indicate their business upon their
visiting cards. One will receive the
card of Lawyer Jones or Banker Smith
or Notary Johnson or Music Professor
Brown or Grosserer (Which means
wholesale merchant) Ferguson or Geol-
ogist Thompson. and If a man ever
held an office it is customary to indi-
cate that fact upon his card. a burgo-
master is always burgomaster, con-
sui is always consul and an alder
man always an alderman. The pre-
fixes Hon" and Mr." are seldom
used. and the title, whether CONNER
cial or professional. is observed In con-
versation In the same way.
1t is customary also for ladies to
print their maiden names upon their
visiting cards in smaller type under
their married names. particularly II
they have a pride OF family and want
people to know their ancestry.

Make No Pretenses.

Be natural. II you are not what you
would like to seem. endeavor to come
as nearly to your ideals as you can,
but do not affect n manner or char
acter that is not your own, that is not
sincere Alteration betrays weakness
of character. 1t deceives no one. One
may imagine he is making a great
impression. People are too polite to
let him know their thoughts. but they
see through him. He makes himself
less in their estimation. 1t is Of no
use to assume to know that of which
one is Ignorant.
There is n certain strength in hon.
esty that carries weight and influence.
Integrity will make itself felt. by
making no pretenses one is on the right
road to advance. There is no fool like
the one who thinks he knows it all,
or, worse, thinks he can make others
think so. Pretenses are despised by all
sensible persons. Be true, be genuine,
and you retain your self respect and
gain that of others.-Milwaukee Jour-

l. woman travelling abroad narrates
the following experience: she had oc-
casion to go to the British embassy at
n certain spot, which shall be name

ever. proved to be away with his wife
at n neighboring health resort. The
visitor asked for the first secretary,
who, unfortunately, was on leave in
England. The woman said that the
second secretary would do as well, but
he happened to be in attendance upon
his wife, who was in n hospital.
Was the third secretary there? No.
He was on leave too. The bottle wash
er might be in, perchance? No. He
was shooting in England. The second
bottle washer? He, unfortunately, was
an invalid and rarely came to the en-
bassy. The military attache? He was
ON leave. The archivist? He was fish
ing in Scotland.
The visitor had heard of two junior
secretaries, whose custom IL was to
transact their duties in company with
Il pet bear. Did they happen to be in?
Unfortunately, they were away play
ing polo. And the bear? Yes, the bear
was at home. The visitor. however,
did not feel equal to interviewing the
bear single handed and left.-London

BARGEs USED TO CARRY

II. +. Schmacht and the Rock Is

the conclusion that further delay in
beginning ice cutting operations in
front of the city was becoming haz-
ardous, yesterday. began prepara-

Owing to there being 100 feet or
more of open water next to shore it
was necessary TO build chutes to run
the ice through in order To get il oft

have been arranged, are pontoon af-

the current. The horses and tools

LIFTING UP FALLEN
Efforts of the Central Howard
Association in illinois and
Other States.
THE SUPERINTENDENT sPEA.
+. Emory Lyon Tells Rock Island
People of Great Work
Being Done.

f. Emory Lyon, superintendent of
the Central Howard association,
spoke yesterday in four Rock Island
churches-in the morning at the
First Baptist and Memorial Christian
and First Methodist-in relation to
the work that is being carried for
ward by the institution with which
he is identified.
This association was organized in
response to well-defned feeling on
the part of the pubic as well as OF
prison and charity officials, that the
fruit of all previous prison reform
should be preserved by a more def
mite and systematic movement for
the better care of the eX-prisoner.
In Europe this has for many years
been the most efficient means for re-
ducing the number of recommit-
ments. Thus far in the United
States such work has been confined
to local and personal efforts, here
and there, and some few state pris-
oners' aid societies. notably in the
east.
Some states having the parole law
have provided a parole agent to look
after as many as practicable of the
paroled men, but even. these have
been unable to provide for all of the
men as soon as they are eligible for
parole, and no state has made pro-
vision for discharged men. Hence
the need of voluntary work such as
that of the Central Howard associ-
alton.
The years work just now closcu
has demonstrated this need. The eN-
pectations of those interested have
been realized, while the practical
method adopted by the association in
doing its work has proven the most
economical and efficient.
Record of Year.
During the past year the assOcia-
ton had lis applications for help
and aided 1O2 men in securing EN-
ployment.
The work of the association has
been carried on quite largely on state
lines. Cooperation has been estab-
lished and work done in all of the
Mississippi valley states and the
funds contributed in each state have
been used for the benefit of that
much work in each state. therefore,
as the generosity of its citizens has
permitted il to do. For example,
from one state institution, 400 miles
from Chicago. il is said that eight
out of ten of its discharged men go
directly to Chicago. Thus. in so far
as these are not desirable citizens,
the state from which they came is
relieved of the responsibility of max
ing them such.
While the main effort and emphasis
of the work has been in the direction
of securing employment for eX-pris-
oners, and by personal influence
changing the whole course of their
lives to nobIer manhood. yet this
has not. been the only object. BY
teaching people to discriminate prop
erly between the habitual and acct
dental criminal. greater intelligence
on the part of the public is apparent.
The awakening of public sympathy
in the efforts of the juvenile court
and the wise legislation in the adop-
ton of the parole law and intermedi
ate sentence has made the admins
tration of these laws on the part of
prison and other officials easier and
