Mr.. Carl Lumboltz has some in

TAKE WEE-BIT STEPS.

Don't think you can walk just
any old way in your short skirt.
For you can 't-tbat is, if you want
to win the coveted appelation.
'smart. At least, those who study,
the art of dress say 80, says the
Philadelphia Telegram. These critics
aver that the short-skirted girl must
stndy. seriously the matter of her
gait, for it is Of far more moment
thar wben wearing longer skirts
The steps should be small and regu-
lar; they say that the spaniards
attach a ribbon to each garter to
keep their pace even and regular.
Be this taken for what it is worth,
there is no doubt that Spanish ladies
have a most graceful walk and
carriage. a.. >.~
The American woman who led of
with short skirts and is wholly re-
sponsible for either adoption will
hardly adopt q method Of. gear to
hamper her steps and reduce her
gait to a ''minoe. But inethis sug-
gestion there is q hint for the: girl
of the period to ponder. The gait
acquired ON tho tennis court or golf
field will never give grace to 4 girl

ABOUT WEDDING RINGS.

ABOUT WEDDING RINGS.
At one time the wedding ring
was worn on the torednger and was
thiokly studded with precious
stones. People who have seen the
old pictures of the Madonna in
Rome will remember that in one or
two Of them there is a glistening
ring on the forefngeS Of her right
hand but with Christianity came
the wearing Of the wedding ring
on the third finger rather than the
first.
The old story of there being a
vein that runs from that finger to
the heart is nonsenoe. Its use ORR
ginated in this way:
The priest first put It on the
thumb saying:"1n the name of the
Father":; on the fore6nger adding
''in the name of the Son.; on the
second finger repeating ''in the
name of the Holy Ghost" and on
the third finger ending with
''Amen' and there it stayed.

Keep off the Grass.
\ Communication Concerning
the Use of the Court
House Lawn.

How freighted with meaning.
What kindliness of disposition that
tell-tale sign unfolds. On ou1 Court
House lot, one of the most beautiful
lawns in this city, a few less than
score Of those white lettered scare
crows are to be seen. Keep Off
the grass. Whether that sign
has a significance or not it is hard
to say. We cannot understand who
it refers to-but we teke it for
granted that it must mean school
children in vacation time. Men OF
course have no time to occupy it in
the day. It would he an unpardon-
able sin for them to walk across
that sacred green in the evening.
The only solution that we can offer
to the sign problem is that the
grounds must be intended for dogs
the only premium-bearing article
we have. What q crime it would be
to allow from 10 to 20 playful, nicely
dressed little girls and boys to frolic
on that lawn; to gambol and play
like skipping lambs in native sports,
on the delightful reserve. What a
nameless crime it would be even to
suggest that a dozen or 80 of rustic
seats be put on the lawn, in the
shade, for the comfort of tired
mothers with their children waiting
for their. husbands to finish trading
on 4 hot day. But no. let US plaster
the ground with signs: Keep OF
the Grass and show our liberal
mindedness. The man or corpora
ton that considers lawn grass too
precious to be trodden upon is a
back number from away back and
is sleeping the sleep Of the Catskills
narcotized, not by the wine Of
dwarfs, but by the breath Of abso'
Lutte boiled-down aborigine selfish
ness. For our credit sake those
chestnut signs should disappear and
that lawn thrown open to the public

DEATH OF MRS. EDW. SAVAGE.
Yesterday murninQ at 8 30 q CLOCK,

Yesterday morning at 8 80 o'clock,
at her home just nortb/of town,
after an illness lasting many months,
Mrs. Edward Savage passed into the
great beyond. The cause of the
death was cancer, and painful
though it was, she bore it all with
wondeful bravery. All the men,

tion of John, we're present at her
bedside as she passed away.

cheerful woman, true Christian,
benevolent in all things, whoever
she met being thereafter her friend.
Her husband who had ministered to
at more funerals than any other
man in the county, consoling the
borrowing and asking the sympathy
of others for the afflicted, is now
sorely touched to the heart, and to
him and the sons and daughter un-
bounded sympathy is accorded.

AVOID HURRY HABIT.

II there is one lesson more than
another that Americans and es-
pecially American women need to
learn and at once it is to make haste
slowly. Hurry is the most destruc-
tive Of our national habits. It is the
chef cause of our national habits.
It is the chief cause of our national
disease nervous prostration and ono
Of the principal allies of the under
.taker. Hurry and worry always
together. In differentiating between
haste and hurry a noted alienist
cites the numerous quick lunch
restaurants which have sprung up
during the last decade in all
American cities. The. sign itself,
;;'''quick lunch or ';a meal in Z
minute" !" is enough to set one to
hurrying. The consequence is i'm
perfect mastication, dyspepsia and
nervous prOstration.
Hurry destroys thoroughness.
The person who hurries cannot have
his heart in his work, says the
Housekeeper. Thinking constantly
of what is to be done next, the
taks of the present is slighted by
borrowing unnecessarily from the
future. Paradoxical as it may
sound, hurry is the subterfuge OF
the lazy. A man or woman who
is lazy at heart often hurries to
make q pretense of working and
detract attention from real idleness.
Little time is required to compute
the results achieved by the person
who bustles breathleesly about with
nerves unstrung and putting every
one within hearing in the same con-
dition.

Notes.

Dubuque was Rockford's best friend
in the meeting of the Three-Eye
| league magnates, which was held in
Chicago Tuesday, and the movement
to Dust Hugh Nicol was blocked by
the delegates from that city, accord
ing to w. c. Keeiey, of Dubuque.
Mr.. Kelley, president of the Du-
buque baseball associatio returned
Tuesday night from the meeting. In
speaking of the deliberations, Mr..
Kelley said that if it had not been for
the fact that Dubuque and Cedar Rap
ids held out for Rockford, the latter
would undoubtedly have been dropped
from the circuit. He said:
adequate. reasons why Nieol should
be dropped were not presented to the
delegates, and the Dubuque magnates
were unalterably opposed to taking a
franchise away from Mr.. Nicol on
fancied hardships. Mr.. Nicol denied
the statements that Rockford was not
good ball town, and asserted that
the scheme was to throw him out
first and then Dubuque. He declared
that the movement was a plan to
make the Three-Eye league of south
ern Iowa and southern Illinois cities.
Dubuque conceded with this view. be-
lieving that ii the southern towns had
been successful i'm their endeavor Dan
vile, ILL.,. would hold Dubuque's fran
chise before long.
One of the grounds advanced by
Davenport, Decatur, Springfield and
Rock Island, all of which were in the
scheme, was that Rockford is too far
north and that railroad expenses are
heavy as a result. If this were true

$50, 900 DAMAGES ASKED
OF THE MOLINE PLOW ca

The Moline Plow company is made
defendant in trespass suit for $780,
900 damages filed Wednesday in the
Stephenson county circuit court AT
Freeport The plaintiffs are Daniel
c. Slower, John S. Goldman, Oliver p,
Wright and August +. Hanke, late CO.
partners of ID. C.. Slower & Co.
Something over year ago the Mo-
line Pillow company entered into an
agreement with the Henney Buggy
company of Freeport and with d. c
Slower &, Co. Slower d Co. were OPP
Grating the plant of the buggy com
pany under lease From the Henney
Buggy company the Moline company
secured an option for the purchase of
the factory up to July 1, 1908, which
option it exercised and is now the
owner of the plant through the medi-
um of an auxiliary company known as
the Henney Buggy company of Mo-
line. With Slower d Co. it made a
contract to take certain number of
vehicles within a year. 1t is out of
this contract that the dispute has
arisen.
On the day the suit was started F.
G. Allen, secretary of the Moline PlOw
company, with number of stock
holders in the Freeport factory, went
in private car to Freeport to inspect
the buggy plant. Mr.. Allen, learning
of the suit. so the Freeport papers
say, avoided service by locking him
self in the private car The car later
left for Moline. The sheriff states,
however, that there are 10 more days
intervening before the time for serv-
ice for the coming term of court ex-
pires, and he believes he will be be
able to locate Mr.. Allen in the interim.
