girl recently discovered in the moon
has induced the man in the moon to
join the temperance society. But there
is mathematical explanation for this
phenomenon. As * well known, the
moon goes through several phases az
il travels in its orbit around the world.
each phase being produced by the rel
ative positions of the sun. earth and
moon.
When the moon Is in that position
of its orbit between the sun and the
earth we have the phase known as
the dark of the moon. But when the
satellite i i'm that position OPP
Posite the. sun and earth it is in the
phase known "a full. Now il requires
just 29Ia days for the moon to travel
from this position back TO the same
place. This time i known "a the lu-
mar month. Owing To the difference
between the lunar and the calendar
months. every 10 years the moon
reaches its fun phase in the last DAYS
of January and begins to wane. A.
February never has more than 20 days
the month passes before the moon
again reaches the position where II is
in the fun phase. This is why we have
no full moon this month.

MAY QUIT THE WEST

pany is to Withdraw From 4,

ENOUGH TO DO IN THE EAST
Wells-Fareo Reported TO be Con-
templatiDg an Entrance
Here.

Rumors afioat in railroad and eX-
press circles are to the effect that the
contract of the United States Express
company with the Chicago. Milwaukee
& St. Paul railway. which expires
March l, may not be renewed.
1t is rumored that the Milwaukee
system contract is to be relinquished
in favor of either the Adams or the
American Express companies. The
expiring contract has been in exist
ence for 10 years.
The five-year contract between the
United States Express company and
the Rock Island also expires March l.
And although one rumor has it that
the Wells-Fargo company will sue
coed the United States on this line.
another statement is to the effect
that the United States has renewed
its contract.
The United States Express company
now operates over the Milwaukee and
Rock Island systems west of Chicago.
and several eastern roads as well.
Operate In East Only.
If current rumors be true. the
United States Express company will
voluntarily retire from business in
the west and devote its attention to
its eastern business, where it operates
over the Pennsylvania and one or two
other good systems.
In the event of the retirement of
the United States from the two west
ern systems mentioned, its probable
successor will be either the Adams or
the American, for the reason that in
the directorate Of the United States
are men interested in these com
Panies.

The fact that the stock he carries

rubs shoulders 20 times a day with
men who would not hesitate to way

But his safety lies in his keeping

y year ago today one might have

pay for the same stone today.
Diamonds have taken l. five per
cent jumps in price within the past -
months. and a. result the man who
wears Il stone must he Just 80 per

Probably no other commodity has
taken such a rapid stride in advance
during the past year. but of course
the public doesn't hear nearly 50
much about the advance in diamonds

CARRIES BIG WAD
Diamond Salesman Who Visits
Rock Island Has $4,000
Worth of Gems.
IDENTITY ALWAYS CONCEALED
jewelers. Whom He Calls on Only
Ones Who Know His
Business.

Did you meet man on the street
today who looked as if he had $50, 900
worth of diamonds with him? Prob
ably you did, but you didn't know it
at the time.
The gentleman in question is but
one of the many statesmen travelling
for a New York diamond house. and
it is an actual fact that he carries
with him en- his travels and had with
him during his stop in Rock Island
today small diamond books in which
were stored diamonds worth 100000.
Diamond statesmen carry their stock
right with them. They don't sell from
samples, like other travelling men.
And. carrying such an immensely
valuable stock with them, they have
to be cnrrespondingly careful as to
whom they associate with.
Not only that, but they have to be
extraordinarily careful not to reveal
their identity to their fellow travellers.
They generally pose as hardware
statesmen. or something equally as far
from their calling, in order to throw
off the scent any gentlemen of the
road who might covet the valuable
little packages they carry around
with them. Probably no one outside
of the jewellers of the city know who
he * or what business brought him
