A Good Name.

From personal experience 1 testify
that DeWitt's Little Early Risers are
unequaled as liver pill. They are
rightly named because they give
strength and energy and do their
work with ease.-W. T. Easton, Boerne,
Texas. Thousands of people arc using
these tiny little pills in preference to
all others, because they are so pleas
ant and effectual. They cure bilious
ness, torpid liver. jaundice, sick head
ache, constipation, etc. They do not
purge and weaken. but cleanse and
strengthen. Sold by all druggists.

ROCK ISLAND POLICE
ARE LOOKING FINE NOW

Not before in Rock Islands history
have the police presented a more
business-like appearance than they
do this fall The men as a rule are of
an attractive standard as to size,
while their natural appearance is inn
proved by the manner in which they
are uniformed. There is quite con-
trast between the metropolitan win
ter uniforms of the police and the
Rube Center style that was donned
during last summer.

Are Injured In Consequence.
All over the country the traction com
panles are being mulcted In heavy
damages for personal injuries sustained
by passengers who are thrown to the
ground on allghting before the cars
have fully stopped. The yerdicts are
exemplary in many instances, especial
ly if the plaintiffs are women The jur-
ors rarely seem to concern themselves
over the question whether the injured
passengers of the precious sex get off
with their faces or their back-hair
turned toward the front of the compass
which claims the attention of the mas
culine creature at the wheel. 1t is the
proud privilege of the better half of
humanity to descend from a car of any
sort in just the way she prefers, with
eyes to the front or retroactive vision
and footsteps, and our transportation
companies must revise their rules in
accordance with feminine caprices and
fancies.
Otherwise juries will deal unkindly
with the owners of the trolley lines.
whether their power is overhead or un-
foreground. The matron or maid who
is interfered with in her choice of grace
fully alighting from a car platform
backward or frontward or in any other
way evidently has a sufficient basis
for litigation if she suffers injury and
the car is put In motion before she has
taken her way in unruffled security. So
the juries seem to think. The harassed
and unfortunate male n%onentities on
the trent or rear platforms of the cars
who are distraught already over the
uncertainty whether lovely women will
make her exit without harm have ven
worse troubles ahead than any which
have hitherto afflicted them.

They Needed the Light.

In a certain town there is a fire
brigade composed wholly of volun-
teers. Not long ago a fire broke out in
the town at midnight, and the volun-
teer fremen were quickly upon the
spot. The smoke was rising in heavy
clouds out Of the building, but no fame
appeared, and the night was very dark.
Presently a tongue of flame shot out
of one corner Of the building, and the
crowd cheered as the man at the noz-
zle directed a stream of water toward
1t. But at this crisis the excited Cap
tain interfered. BE careful what
you're doing. man, he shouted. Keep
the water off that blaze! Don't you
see that's the only light we've got to
put out the fire by?"'

To exercise a general supervision

characteristic of a kind-hearted resi-

The Parental catfish

1.-The catfish said an angler, us
the only fish l know that seems to
have any affection for its young. 9th
err fish disregard their young altogeth-
er-will even eat them at times-but
not so with the 'catty.' The first time
| discovered this good trait was last
summer. l was angling in a mill dam,
and in the clear water | saw a host
of little catfish, accompanied by two
adults. The adults-husband and wife,
no doubt-watched over the babies
with anxious care. They darted in
this direction and in that, keeping the
coast clear, and if a stranger fish ap-
preached they rutfied up and fought
1t off like lions. They did a thing that
indicated great intelligence in them
when they saw mt. Happening to
glance up and catch my eye, they
feared that l meant mischief, and in
stantly they sank down to the bottom
and thrashed the mud about with
their tails, thus creating an OPAQUE
cloud wherein their young and they
were invisible. Since that time | have
often seen catfish with their young.
There have been two adults in each
Ease to look after the small fry, and
in the presence of some great danger
the Opaque cloud of mud has always
beer drawn about the brood."-Phila.
