DAVENPORT DOTS

a runaway which resulted in the Sc
rious injury of II. III. Ekardt of 1929
West Fourth street, occurred on Har-
rison street shortly after O'Clock
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Ellafdt with
Christ Juhler, of 1924 West Third
street had come down the Harrison
street hill in the wagon and had
driven the team to the watering
trough that the horses might have a
drink. In driving to the trough the
wagon was left standing so that a
car coming down the hill caught the
rear wheels and the horses became
frightened and started to run. As
they turned down the street the We
hicle was thrown to one side so that
Mr.. Ekardt and his man were thrown
violently to the pavement. Passers
by ran to the aid of Mr.. Ellardt and
Mr.. Juhler. The former was found to
be seriously injured and the ambu-
lance was summoned and he was Ia
ken to st. Luke's hospital. There it
was learned that he had suffered Sc
rious internal injuries and he was con-
stantly complaining of a terrible pain
in the chest. Just how badly he is
hurt is not known. Juhler was but
injured and he was taken to
his home. The horses came out I'M
scathed and the wagon was smashed
but little.

In the suit of Wilfred Hall against
the d.. r. q n. w. road and the c.,
b. & Q. road the claim is set up by
the defense that the right of way
was purchased and paid for at the
time the road was built The answer
to the suit was recorded in the clerks
office and the railroads state that the
owner of the island was paid 5000 at
one time and $2,346.75 at another
time for the property over which the
roads run. 1t is claimed that the pro-
perty was secured first for the smaller
amount and that when it was found
necessary to secure more the amount
was paid over. The company also
claims that those payments are on
record and that the receipts for the
same can be shown. 1t also denies the
allegation that it has appropriated
the use of any land to which it has
not the right and it denies that it
has done more than make lawful use
of its own property.

One Bows Rise to Success.

If you want to know how one young
man got along in the world, listen:
Alvah c. Dinkey, at thirty-seven, is
president of the Carnegie Steel company
and holds the most important position IN
the steel trade of this country, next to
W. E. Corey, president of the United
States Steel company.
At sixteen years of age Dinkey was a
telegraph operator for Carnegie. He gave
that up and put on the leather apron OF
an apprentice in order to learn to be a
machinist. 1t was harder work than
telegraphing, and for year or so it was
less pay. But this young man had his
eye on the outcome.
He made special study of electricity
He saw how this power could be applied
in rolling mills. He patented labor saw
ing devices and was made assistant engl-
neer, then engineer, superintendent,
president.
An easy climb?
BY no means. 1t was upward through
toll and sweat and CRIME and the con-
slant pumping of blood into gray matter.
Dinkey did not spend his money for
glad clothes.
Nor for high balls"
He spent his time and money building
brains and body and character. And now
at thirty seven years of age he is at the
top and draws a larger salary than the
president of the United States.-Cincin-

R,aw One Breath Too Many.

ADMISSION, ALA, September 21.-News
reached the city this afternoon of the
death of Charles Williams, a horse trader,
at Jacksonville, as a result of blow
received week ago while in difficulty
with Frank Woods, the 1S-year-old son
of John F. Woods, of that place.
The difficulty was caused, it is claimed
by Williams, who, while in a drunken
condition, made himself very obnoxious
by blowing his breath in the faces of the
Young men of the town after he had been
eating onions. Woods remarked that if
Williams would blow his breath in his
face he would knock him down.
Williams then advanced on Woods and
repeated the performance and was struck
with heavy billiard cue twice on the
head, from which he never recovered.
Woods has disappeared.
The friends of Woods claim that Will
liams had an open knife in his hand when
he advanced on Woods.

Advertising as an Investment.

Advertising cannot justly be called an
expense, although it is an expense when
ignorantly handled. Advertising is an
investment. Dealers in articles where the
profit is less than Is per cent. fgure2 per
cent. of their sales US the proper proper
ton to be devoted to advertising.
There are lines where the profits run
MP as high as 400 per cent. These lines
demand much higher per cent. devoted
to advertising, as the daily sales amount
to much less than where the profit IS
smaller.
If you have anything to sell, never
allow yourself to argue that there is no
need of advertising. Your friends, even,
after a while, won't ask you if you keep
certain articles.
They become tired of continually ask
ing you what you have in your store and
gradually drift over to your progressive
competitor who adyertises persistently
and continually.

4 Bows Composition on Parents.

Parents are things most boys have to
look after them. Most girls also have
parents Parents consist of Pas and Mas.
Pas talk good deal about what they are
going to do, but it's mostly Mas that make
you mind.
Sometimes it is different tho. Once a
boy came home from college on vacation.
His parents lived on farm. There was
work to be done on the farm. Work on
the farm always has to be done early in
the morning. This boy didn't get up.
His sister goes to the stairway and calls:
Willie, It's beautiful morning. Rise
and list to the lark
The boy didn't say anything. Then
Ma calls:
William, it is time to get up. Your
breakfast is growing cold"
The boy kept right on, not saying any
thing. Then his pa puts in his head In
the stairway, and says he:
Bill"
Coming, sir!" says the boy.

ents. He goes in swimming whenever ne
pleases. But l am going to stick to my
parents. However, l don't tell them so
cause they might get 1t into thelf neao

Says this boy to me: :,
parents are a nuisance; they aren't
what they're cracked up to be-"
Says l to him:
Just the same l find 'em handy to
have. Parents have their faihngs, OF
course, like all of US, but on the whole
approve of 'em, and l hope good boys Will

Ignorance was not Bliss.

A certain local young man went riding
with a young lady Thursday evening,
and on the trip, she remarked that he re-
minded her of Venus of Milo. He didn't
know who Venus of Milo was, but felt
flattered over what he supposed to be a
compliment. As soon as he arrived home,
he searched the encyclopedia and found,
to his deep chagrin, that Venus of Milo
had no arms. His parents found him in
the cellar next morning trying to butt
out his brains.-KendalVille, Ind, News.
