have entered the contest who were
disqualified from receiving the prize
through failure to fill all the required
terms, the greatest number of these
being parties who. through a misun-
derstanding, thought the contest was
to determine who had been longest
employed at a given occupation with
out considering the meaning of the
term service" as here construed.
Therefore many have entered who
have been working for themselves or
managing their own business affairs.
and some interesting instances have
been brought out along this line.
These, however, have not been placed
before the public.
1t may now bc said that the con
test has narrowed down so that I'M
less further entries are received be
fore next Wednesday. July 1. when
the contest ends, the watch will i'm all
probability be awarded to one of
three according to the finding Of the
Judges, who will he duly announced.
One of these three is Il. ID. Kendall.
of this city. the oldest employee of
Wcyerhaeuser & Dcnkmann.
a Remarkable Record.
Mr. Kendall began i'm July. 1850, as
sawyer and served in that capacity
till 1868. In the fall of that year he
went into the service of the govern
ment on the steamboat Island City.
which was engaged in transporting
troops and supplies during the war.
After one year, or in the fall of 1864,
he returned to the city and at once
took up his former position.
He operated one of the saws in the
lower mill till 1871, when he became
foreman, remaining in this position
till in 1875 he met with an accident
that necessitatcd the amputation of
his left hand. After a year spent as
carpenter he returned to the charge
of a saw in 1879, later overcoming his
physical handicap to such an extent
that he was again made foreman. In
this latter capacity he served contin-
uously till 1901, when on account of
advanced age he gave up the more
active work and has since been as
sistant foreman. Mr.. Kendall is 73
years of age. He resides at 904 Sec
ond avenue.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-06-25

Rock Island finished yesterdays
game one run to the bad, and the
CommodOres retired from the stamp
ing ground of the enemy with the
coveted scalp. Errors, yellow ones,
told at inopportune moments and De-
catur was literally made present of
the contest. Four bad marks were
chalked in Rock Islands column and
Callahan at short contributed three
in the third and fourth innings and
in each Decatur tailed. Neither side
was prolific of hits, the Decaturites
having little the best of it. The
visitors made nine hits off Smith, of
which one was good for three bases
and two were of the two-bagger vari-
city. The visitors were more ener-
getic in their base running, and if
Rock Island had been equally so and
displayed fewer schoolboy tactics on
the bags, n few of those who expired
on base might have reached the plate.

How Rock Island Tailed.

In the fourth Donnelly and Graham
each drew a single. Rebsamen and
OLeary were both caught at first. but
while OLeary was being put out Dom
nelly scored. Callahan struck out and
the visitors came in.
In the fifth NandiHe was caught at
first, Dickey hit and Smith also sing
led. Green was caught at first, but
Dicl1ey managed to get home on
Wright's error at third. Donnelly
pounded the ball to Jacobsen and was
caught out at first.
Until the ninth neither side scored
again, but then O'ConnOr singled and
was advanced to second by a base on
balls given Jacobsen. Thornton sac
rificed, and on single by II. Walters
O'ConnOr came in with the winning
run. Wright went out at first. and
fly was caught by Green.

Jacobsen in Form.

Jacobsen, Decatur's southpaw, did
the twirling for the visitors and agita-
ted the leather so successfully that
only seven hits were ground off him.
Smith, for Rock Island, held the visi-
tors to nine hits. and only three bases
on balls were given during the whole
game, and of these Jacobsen was re
sponsible for two. Each team had
one earned run, and if no errors had
been made by the locals the contest
would undoubtedly have extended be-
You'd nine innings. Rock Island pre-
sented a readjusted lineup, with Dick
ey at first and Rebsamen in right.
The result was a bit more speed in
the vicinity of the initial bag. The
game was devoid of sensational feat

How to Trim IA Sleeps Foot.

Almost every boy knows how to
white, but | have found very few men
who without special training could
trim sleeps feet speedily, To do so
pair of toe cutters or pruning shears
and a good jackknife with narrow
blade are necessary. If the hoofs are
long enough to make it necessary, use
the cutters first, always cutting from
the inner side and sole of the hoof.
Cut in plane about parallel to that of
the attachment of the hoof. The hoof
cuts easier In this way and there is far
less danger of cutting too short. A
little practice will enable one to turn
the cutters in the hand with almost no
loss of time. To do 1t drop them
against the sheep, turning them as
dropped. Two strokes with the knife
on each hoof should put the foot in
good shape. Always start the knife at
the cleft of the heel. The first stroke
should remove the outer wall, the knife
being moved in the plane of the sole of
the foot. The next should remove the
inner wall and be drawn at an angle
of forty-ive degrees to the sole.-H. p.

HARDENING" OF CHILDREN
And some of the III Results That
Are Apt to Follow.

And Some of the III Results That
Are Apt to Follow.
Heeker is outspoken in his objections
to the methods pursued in the 50 called
hardening" of children by the means
of cold douches or baths. As rule
children thus treated are more suscep-
tible to nasal catarrhs, throat affee-
lions, bronchitis and pulmonary indam-
nations than those Who have not been
subjected to the hardening process.
Furthermore, such measures frequently
give rsa to pronounced anpmia and
various disorders of the nervous sys-
TEN. Children so Hardened are espe-
cially prone to acute aud chronic intes-
tinal disArders.
While IN healthy children a properly
conducted hardening process Is often
of advantage 1t must be remembered
that there are no hard and fast rules.
and that every case must be treated ac-
cording to the individual Indications.
The fundamental principles Of proper
Hardening" system IRE as follows: ID
Gradual acclmation 10 the air of the
room: % gradual aeclimation to out
door air. 81 gradual acclimation to cold
water; d suitable clothing-yaried ac-
cording to the weather and time of
year. Great care should be observed in
acclimating the child 10 cold water, and
the effects of the same should be care
fully watched. the endeavorssbeing at
once suspended on the first appearance
of any unfavorabl symptoms.
On no account should any of the
Hardening" measures be commenced
until the nursing period is passed, and
In all cases the process should be one
of gradual advancement.-New York
