1.-THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET"
Horrors of Modern Science Weaved
Around the Well,

Around the Well
The truths of science are not Otter
expressed in verse. and this fact serves
to emphasize the few. instances where
rhyme has been employed to convey
ract. says the st. Louis Post Dispatch
The following parody on THE OF,
Oaken Bucket" which is not only
amusing, but contains some valuable
points in sanitation, is by DR.. j. G..
Eagles. formerly president of the New
/ York city health board, and was read
! by him at a meeting Of the Academy
CT Medicine. We quote it from the col.
umns of Engineering News, which
says that the sanitary science convey

people are living amid just such I'm.

rance that they have anything to do
with causing disease and death. The
parody is as follows:
With what anguish of mind I remember
my childhood,
Recalled in the light of a KNOWLEDGE

The malarious farm, the wet dungeons
grown wildwood.
The chills then contracted that since
have remained
The scum covered duck pond. the pigsty

The ditch where the sour smelling housa
drainage fell,
The damp, shaded dwelling, the foul barn
yard nigh it.
But worse than all else was that terrible

New Line Big Enough
For All Three Cities

prevent the Kansas iCty short line en-
tering Davenport, but they are not in
accord with the spirit manifest in
that city, whose aim is to keep the
line out of Rock Island and Moline.
The Milwaukee's short line can just
as well enter all three cities as not,
but its accommodations in Davenport
may not, because of the location of
the Crescent bridge, be as advantag-
eously situated as if the line came
down on the Iowa side. This is the
reason that the people there, prompt
ed by selfishness and narrowness, are
cndeavoring to divert the short line
from their neighboring cities entirely.
The Milwaukee, according to advices
the Argus has, will not yield to an
effort backed by the disposition so
apparent i'm that being put forth in
the city across the stream.
The situation, as far as the location
of the depot in Davenport is concern
ed, is not dissimilar to that afecting
the c.. II. /. & p. in Rock Island, the
unavoidable conditions in both cases
being due to the bridge approaches
on the respective sides of the river.

a Davenport paper yesterday morn
ing in seeking to console itself over
information il has received that the
Milwaukee Kansas iCty short line is
to pass through that city, quotes n
Milwaukee official as speaking dis
paragingIy of the efforts of the peo-
pie and press of Rock Island and Mo-
line to have the line take in all three
cities. To offset what Davenport pa

in taffying it's town on the sublime
submissive spirit in which it says
Davenport has resigned itself to the
will of the Milwaukee road, whatever
il might be.
The Argus, for its own part, has no
idea that anyone connected in any re
sponsible capacity with the Milwau-
kee would express himself as the Dav-
export writer has stated. either in
fulsome, nauseating pIlffery of Daven-
port or in disparagement of the cities
on this side of the river. The people

"AIy son. said the fond but wise

Always read your contract. \ man

you see. he wouldn't have n remunera-

"Be not overcritical. Even the most
ordinary sort Of n genius can tell when
the other fellow is making a fool OF
himself.
Remember that the young man, like
the anglers worm. is rather better for

"Be careful in the choice OF your sur
roundinSs. Environment will do great
deal for man. For example. flour and
water in china jug is cream sauce; in
pail on the sidewalk 1t is billsticker's

Don't forget that there's time for
everything and that everything should
be done in its proper time. Never hunt
for bargains in umbrellas on n rainy
day.
