Their Idea of Pretty Girls.

To begin with men are, without
doubt, susceptible to beauty's infiu-
ence. but they no longer expect their
wives to be household ornament and
nothing more. They expect her to
combine many womanly and wifely
qualities with her physical charms.
Men think that merely pretty girls
cannot interest themselves properly in
the affairs of the household; that they
are far too much absorbed with the
ways and means of enhancing their
beauty, and that they require, after
marriage. constant expressions of de-
votion, and are not apt to be content to
adorn only their own homes, but must
seek admiration and adulation out
side.
One discerning man expressed tho
firm belief that pretty girls were in
variably fickle, and after marriage dis
satisfied and reckless; while palmer
girls, with no pretensions to beauty,
were far more satisfactory as wives,
because they devoted to their huS-
bands and children the precious time
and thoughts the pretty girl wasted
on her prettiness. He furthermore as
serted that beauty often caused self
pride, followed by petulance and often
Btubbornness.
An eligible bachelor frankly re-
marked that there was nothing more
charming to admire than really
beautiful girl. but that as a wife,
zve1l-Qha WOuld NOT do" his very
commendable reason being the. she
was accustomed to flattery and would
not be happy without 1t. Such a girl,
IN his opinion. would spend her time
flirting with other men and making
her husband miserable.
The soundest doctrine, however, was
given out by married man. who said.
Marry pretty girl, II possible. but
do not marry her for her beauty alone.
Let her also be sensible and good
American Queen.

Jewels which Require Care.

Owners of jewels should remember
that If turquoises are wet they are apt
to lose color. Pearls should be exposed
to light and air as much as possible,
but not to damp. Opals must never be
exposed to great heat, or they may
crack and fall from the setting. Don't
forget this when warming your hands
at the fire II you happen to wear an
opal ring.

JACKSON Is SHOT
Rock Island Barber is Attacked
Thursday Night at Car.
ton, III.
a JEALOUS HUSBAND
of Intimacy With Wife of
Prominent Mer-
chant.

F. w. jackson, of this city, presi-
dent of the Tri-City Labor congress,
was shot at Canton, H., last Thurs
day night by Joseph Burton, promi-
nent merchant of that town.
The cause of the shooting was
Jackson's undue intimacy with Bur
tons wife. The ball is still in Jack
sons body, efforts to locate il having
failed, and blood poisoning is feared.
Jackson for the past two years has
been employed as barber at the shop
of Louis Schmidt on Second avenue
One month ago he left for Canton,
stating that he had promise there OF
a good position, and that if he liked
the town he would locate there. The
news of the shooting was a shock to
his friends, of whom Jackson has
many in Rock Island.
OF DIstlnguIshed Appearance.
He is single man, about 81 years
of age, and of striking appearance,
always dressing well, and as was of
ten remarked by his friends, looked
more like a United States senator
than barber.
During the summer he was elected
president of the Tri-City Labor cone
gross. in the affairs of which he had
always taken an active interest since
coming to Rock Island.
\ message from Canton late this
afternoon was to the effect that jack
son is resting well, but that the bull
let has not yet been extracted. The
story is that jackson and Mrs. Bur-
ton first met in Rock Island. BY pre-
arrangement when Jackson went to
Canton he applied at the Burton home
for board and was accommodated.
Burton became jealous of Jackson's
attentions to his wife. and when they
met Thursday night in restaurant
after an exchange of hot words Bur
ton shot Jackson. Burton is proprie-
tor of a grocery store at Canton.

q Furnishes Capital.

The latest rumor in railroad circles
and one that is accepted as fact in
the west, is that the Burlington is the
moving influence which has furnished
the capital for the construction of
the Western Pacific road from Salt
Lake to San Francisco and the Moffat
road between Salt Lake and Denver.
At the time of the construction il
was insisted that the Western Pacific
was projected by George J. Gould in
order that he might realize his cher
ished ambition of having a system
from ocean to ocean, and although
the story was denied persistently by
the executive heads of the Gould in
terests. there were many who refus-
ed to be convinced to the contrary.
The Indications now are that the Bur
lington will have solid trains running
over its own lines from Chicago to
San Francisco. Those who see the
hand of the Burlington behind the
Moffat and Western Pacific enter
prises reason that Jfmes ]. Hill and
y. Pierpont Morgan are large holders
in both roads.
