Alcoholism In Mexico.

As the demands Of business men for
sobriety, clear headedness, punctuality
and steadiness among employees
grow, so will alcoholic excuses re-
ceive the stamp of social disapproval,
says the Mexican Herald. The rail-
way corporations have to demand So
briefly, and they are powerful educa-
tors of public opinion in this fmpor-
tant matter. Business life here is TAX
ing on the completely and strenuous
ness characteristic of business in all
advanced modern countries, and pre-
MUM Is thus placed on clear brains
and unclouded minds. Forces most
influential are at work in behalf of
real temperance. Modern life cannot
tolerate drunkenness.

Stray Thoughts
BY Emerson

Men cease to interest US when we
find their limitations The only sin is
limitation. AS soon as you once come
up with mans limitations it is all
over with him. Has he talents? Has
he enterprise? Has he knowledge? It
boots not. Infinitely alluring and at
tractive was he to you yesterday, a
great hope, sea to swim in; now you
have found his shores, found it pond,
and you care not If you never see it
again.
Behold there in the wood the fine
madman! He is palace of sweet
sounds and sights. He dilates, he is
twice a man, he walks with arms
akimbo, he sol1loquizes, he accosts the
grass and the trees, he feels the blood
of the violet, the clover and the lily
In his veins, and he talks with the
brook that vets his foot.
Every appearance in nature CORE
spends to some state of the mind, and
that state of the mind can only be de-
scribed by presenting that natural ap-
pearance as its picture. An enraged
man is a lion. a cunning man is a fox,
a firm man is a rock, learned man is
torch, A lamb is innocence; snake
is subtle spite. Flowers express to us
the delicate affections.
Colleges have their Indispensable Of
fice-to teach elements. But they can
only highly serve us when they aim
not to drill, but to. create; when they
gather from far every ray of various
genius to their hospitable halls and,
by the concentrated fires, set the
hearts of their youth on fame.
What is the hardest task in the world :?
To think. I would put myself in the
attitude to look in the eye an abstract
truth, and 1 cannot. I blench and
withdraw on this side and on that.

CLOSE CALL FOR DIXON
MAN AT ROCK RIVER DAM

Morrison II. Vail, a Dixon citizen,
had a close call to going over the
dam in Rock river with his launch
Thursday evening. The boat did not
go over and he was rescued with Il
rope from scaffold. where he chung
just at the brink of the fall. The
Dixon Telegraph tells the story.
About , o'clock Mr.. Vail started his
launch down by the electric light
plant to go over home. The engine
started and then suddenly stopped,
and he could not make it go. He was
drifting rapidly toward the dam in
the swift current, and finding his eff
forts to start the engine fruitless, he
took an oar and padded the craft to-
ward the electric light station, where
ladder scaffold hanging few feet
above the water offered chance of
escape.
The ladder was hung by ropes and
hooks from the rail of a platform and
as Mr.. Vail neared the scaffold he
jumped from his boat and caught the
end of the ladder which was but a few
feet from the brink of the dam. The
jerk of his sudden weight on the scat
fold broke the rail and just by chance
the large hook as it fell caught the
edge of the platform with only an
inch to spare. If the hook had not
caught he would without doubt have
been carried over the dam, and as it
was he hung in the water.
A workman in shop near saw the
accident and ran to the assistance of
Mr.. Vail with "a rope, and with the
help of others soon drew him up out
of his perilous position. The launch
went over the dam and was later res
cued not greatly damaged. 1t was
found that piece of rope had become
wound about the propeller and stop
ped its action.

PLANS OF RUMMAoE SALE
Work of Arranging Counters at the Rink
Begun Yesterday.

The arrangements for the Union
Mission rummage sale which opens at
the Rock Island rink next Thursday
afternoon, and continues every after
noon and evening for the balance of
the week, are rapidly nearing compile
ton. The canvass of the city has
been substantially completed and the
interest augurs well for the success
of the undertaking.
This afternoon the counters have
been put in place and the departments
arranged and the ingathering will
commence Monday morning. The col
Iectors have over thousand calls to
make, the majority of which will have
to be made the first four days of next
week, and the committee begs a little
forbearance on the part of the friends
of the cause if there be some delay in
gathering rummage at the time APP
pointed, although there will be every
effort to make prompt and rapid col
lection of goods.
Donors will bear in mind that cloth
ing of all kinds, especially warm Wool
EN- goods, suitable for winter wear. are
especially desired. WOmen's dress
skirts, mems and boys overcoats and
children's clothing are needed to sup
ply the wants of the worthy poor of
our city Mention is also made of
crockery. Gull out your cracked and
niched dishes, cups and saucers, and
send them in. You can supply your
needs in whole articles at very little
cost and with far less sacrifice than
can some worthy poor to whom your
imperfect Ware will be very accepta-
BILE.
The canvass in Davenport and Mo
line is completed and that of the mer-
chants of Rock Island is now being
made. From the hearty response
which the appeal meets with, the COM
mittee is encouraged to believe that
the merchants realize that rummage
sales are a benefit to trade as well as
means of decreasing the tendency TO
pauperism which indiscriminate Civ
ing fosters.
