she had won such an admirable young
man for her intended husband. He
was proud of Anne. too, and never
failed to display the fact when he &C
companied her to public functions.
But some one happened to be looking
the day that Annie took the pair or
gloves. She wore them that evening
when she left the store The prOprie-
tor had learned of her taking the
gloves, but he supposed that she
had merely forgotten to send in a
credit slip for them. He would allow
her time i'll which to recall the incident
without reminding her At the end of
the second day Annie was told that
she had neglected to report her glove
purchase at the front office. OF course,
she admitted, and how stupid of her.
She had entirely forgotten about them.
In the meantime there had been an
investigation going on in the store to
locate a quantity of silks, dress goods
and laces that were not accounted for
in the latest invoices of the depart
ments. The glove incident attracted
the attention of the managers to Annie,
and they saw that she was wearing
pretty fine clothes for a shop girl. But
they said nothing to her.
Before the week was out Annie was
called into the Office to explain. She
was indignant when told that she was
suspected. The evidence was com
Dlete against her. but she was TO be
allowed an opportunity to confess.
She went into a rage, and reminded
the managers that she was a lady and
could afford the clothes that she was
wearing Seeing that persuasion was
useless. there remained the one alter
native of informing Annie that she
would be turned over to the police au-
thorities unless she paid for the ma
teTial that she carried away from the
store With this threat she WINGED.
and asked to be permitted until noon
TO consult her relatives. She went TO
a member of the family and told him
her story. He was shocked. but could
not see his sister scandalize herself
and the whole family by appearing IN
police court accused of a theft. He
asked for an itemized statement from
the store. and gave his check for the
amount, something like 800
Annie two mornings after received
a note from her beau. He had heard of
her escapade. 1t hurt him awfully,
but he was glad that he had found it
out then than later She need not
look for him to call at her home again.

Who was it who stated in an address
before the Wonans Federation con

pIoye, Loses His Rea-
son.
SOCIALISM is HIS HOBBY
Serves Notice on the Superintendent
That He is Dis
charged.

Insane, his friends declare, on the
subject of socialism, Daniel Flutch
believes that he is the sole owner of
the Rock Island Railway system. This
afternoon he is to be brought into the
county court to have his mental condi-
ton inquired into.
Flutch lives at East Moline and is
employed at New Shops. He has a
wife and five children and has a new
home nearly completed. OF late it has
been observed that he would frequent
ly become excited when discussing pol
itics, and he would grow eloquent in
his advocacy of the doctrine of social
ism, one of the principles of which
is that the government should own and
operate all public utilities.
Discharges the Superintendent.
Yesterday Fiutch told the superin-
tendent at New Shops that the was
discharged; that he had just acquired
the road and that he had found an
other man for the position. When the
superintendent sought to reason with
FIutch he became violent and had to
be restrained.

CITY MILK SUPPLY.
BY WILDER J. Fraser, Chief in Dairy
Husbandry, University of Illinois.

BY WILDER J. Fraser, Chief in Dairy
Husbandry, University of Illinois.
The methods commonly employed in
the production of milk are so faulty
and the evils resulting from the use
of impure milk so numerous and of
such a serious nature, that everyone
interested in the public welfare should
be anxious to bring about an improve
ment. In many cities large sums of
money are expended in obtaining good
and pure water; yet in most cities no
attention is given to the quality of
milk furnished. which TO many, es-
pecially the children, is of even greater
moment than the water supply.
No other food is more healthful and
economical than milk, and none is more
dangerous to health when carelessly
handled. Milk is the ideal medium for
the growth of germs; because of this
fact il is especially important that it
be handled with the greatest care 50
that no disease germs may gain access
TO it.
Dairymen who deliver milk in cans
measuring out the amount wanted at
each door, sell with the milk the dust
and germs that collect in the measures
as they drive along the street
There are, and doubtless always will
be, certain men producing milk who.
from the slovenly methods they praC-
tice. are disgrace TO the dairy bust
ness. Such laws should be enacted,
and such a system of inspection insti-
tuted, as will compel these men to be
decent in their practices in handling
milk or quit the business.-From Bull
lCtin 80. University of Illinois.

MUSCATINE MAN SKIPS OUT
Board of Trade Manager Had SpecuIa-
ted With Patrons Money.
II. e Mckay manaper

II. e. Mckay, manager of board
of trade in Muscatinc. is missing, and
creditors are trying to find out how
much he owes them. The papers
down there allege that he used the
money of his customers in deals of his
own. and as he made some bad deals.
they say that his losses and his
gambling debit and personal expenses
flooded him. They figure that he took
away with him about 5000 in money
and that several thousand dollars rep
resent the losses of his customers
through his use of their money for his
own ends

Exaggeration in advertising is bad
policy. The reader does not accept
what the advertiser says, but judges
from what he says, and he is more
likely to accept moderate, temperate
claim than a nOne-sO-gOOd in the-wOrld
statement You can not afford to have
people pointing out your advertise
ments as fakes" and advising their
friends to have nothing to do with you.
Extravagant claims are advertising
folly.

If one went into a store and told the
storekeeper he had nothing worth rec
ommending to the people, there would
be trouble then and there, but that
same stOrekeeper sometimes acts as if
he had not the goods the people want
and is keeping still about it. Protect
the reputation of your store by telling
what you have that is worth buying.

The newspaper might be compared
to large megaphone, which will en-
able the advertiser to talk to a large
