Case OF Local Expansion
alderman RuSSelrS Great Swell

Russell Manning and Maynard Gun
sci, the manager of the Consumers Ice
Co.. were in the Office of the ice COM
pany Saturday morning. and for lack
Of something else to discuss. they be-
gan to banter one another on their
physical development, more particularly
as regards their wonderful chest ex-
pansion Just as the discussion was
reaching the point where practlcai
application of the tape measure was
necessary to settle their difference,
Councilman Russell happened into the
Office and Manning and Gunsel. after
endeavoring to impress Mr. Russell
with their superiority over him in re
gard to chest development, which Mr..
Russell would not concede, offered to
bet him a dollar that they could both
expend ther chests more than our
worthy councilman.
Mr.. Russell promptly called their
bet, as he saw something sure and easy
in sight. One of the party went out to
invest in a tape measure. while the
other two repaired to the back room
and proceeded to divest themselves of
their surplus upper clothing.
TIRE Mr. Manning proceeded to swell
up as much as possible, with the re-
suit that he expended five and half
inches. Mr.. Gunsel then had his turn,
but the best that he could do was some
four inches. By this time Council
man Russell was all smiles, and had
already slipped the dollar into his
jeans as he knew that he had the con-
test won without half trying, and in
order to prove his right to the money
he placed the tape around his breast,
took one big breath. and the tape
measure expanded to the extent of just
seven inches, whereup Messrs. Gunsel
and Manning frankly admitted that
they had gone up against it with their
eyes open, on their own proposition,
while Mr.. Russell as he left the Office.
was heard to mutter something about
young men with chicken breasts trying
TO- outdo him in the way Of chest ex-
pansion.

The Divinity of Justfce.

The one divine work. the one ordered
sacrifice, is to do justice. and it is the
last we are ever inclined to do. Any
thing rather than that; as much char
ity as you choose, but no justice.
Nay" You will say, charity is great
er than justice" Yes, it is greater; it
is the summit of justice; it is the tenn
pie of which justice is the foundation.
But YOU cant have the top without the
bottom; you cannot build upon char
ity.
You must build upon justice for this
main reason-that you have not at first
charity to build with. 1t is the last
reward of good work. DO justice to
your brother-yOu can do that whether
YOU love him or nOt-and you will come
TO love him. 1t is all very fine TO think
you can build upon charity to begin
with, but you will find all you have got
TO begin with begins at home and is
essentially love of yourself,-John Rus.

SIDE LIGHTS ON HISTORY.

relatives and friends in New Hamp-

from Valley Forge this soldier seems
to have had hard struggle between

The smallpox situation offered
nothing new today and progress to-
ward recovery was reported in all
cases under treatment in the city.
At the residence of David Don. where
the illness of Mary Marks. the domes-
tic. had been the object of some So
licitude on the part of the health de-
partment. the characteristic Sv:np-
toms have not developed and the
physician in attendance is satisfied
that the case * not one of smallpox.
The illness of Il member of an up
town family has taken a turn which
the doctor in attendance considers
ominouS and there is some-chance
that it may be pronounced smallpox.
George Addicks. of Geneseo. was
discovered Saturday to- he suffering
with smallpox, and his ease is the
first appearance of the plague in the
Henry county town. Mr.. Addicks has
been i'm Dubuque receiving treat
ment for cancer and was eX-

turned symptoms appeared and

that it was smallpox. DR.. Spencer was
