Across the Sea Presents was among the
headings which one woman put on her
Christmas list. 1t included not only shut
ms but all of that interested habit or
mind to whom things from other lands are
more potent in what they suggest than IN
what they are. Nine out of every ten OF
the things to be found in shopiand are al
ready invested with this not inappropriate
Christmas sentiment In their hint OF other
ways and other civilizations.
Thoughts of France and of beautiful
escritore lady come at a dainty white SIX
booklet of thick proportions containing the
charming little time savers, envelopes not

off the perforated inside margin, there is
delight in the speed possibilities of this
little accessory, having as 1t does the ad-
vantages without the inelegancies OF the
open-lioor attributes of the postal card.
Pottery always is importive of ideas, and
as such the Newcomb ware from New Or
leans is not only lovely in color, but south
ern In suggestion. Having thousand va
rieties, of decora ton the motive of each Is
invariably some one or more of the flora
of Louisiana. Cool grays and creams, Hgnt
yello1-s and dark blues form the color note,
and are perhaps the best blenders with any
ton of any combination in pottery.
The practical Is being reached In the pot
terry output better this year than ever be-
fore in an abundance of stems, pitchers,
tardinieres, tile and wall cornucopias For
instance, a large beer pitcher with set OF
mugs in the Louisiana ware has upon every
piece the strangely conventional1zed design
of different flower, making OF each
separate idea In color effect besides eelng

Something
For herself is the quest In gifts for wona-
en- pursued in the midst of the distractins
things for the house which can be pressed
into service for her. There always is new
idea being introduced to make dressing as
simple and quick as possible, and the latest
help in this direction comes In the shape of
a pretty little eretonne-covered cabinet for
wells, kerchiefs, collars and gloves. 1t has
four drawers with cunning little gilt ham
dies and is Frenchily marked Giants"
'Mouchoirs,' "Cravats'' and 'Dentelles."
These cabinets being made In different col
ors, one always can have them harmon
lie with the decorations In the room. The
only drawback to this novelty is the price,
1915, which seems exorbitant. but, being
so beautifully made they are well worth
the price.
Pretty holly boxes filed with ruchings

the dainty touch to a waist which nothing
else Will. Some of the boxes contain red,
white, pink and blue ruchings, which sell
for the moderate sum of 50 cents, and
others have all white at IS cents a box.
The fad for having everything to match
has even reached the combs for mlady' s
coffure, and she must now have those that
will harmonic with her different sets of
jewelry. Therefore combs make one of the
most useful gifts, for they Will surely go
with at least one gown or set of jewels.

New imported belts and girdles are made

Which shall equal the beef cure in impor-
tance is likely to be the result of the claims
made for the benefits received from turkey
as compared with those from beef. The
facts which are set forth are that 1t has
more nutrition than beef; that Ii is more
easily digested on account OF its shorter
FIBER and that 1t has a much larger per-
centage of proteids flesh forming food
than beef. 1t also is urged as cure for
stomach acidity. as it contains none of the
stimulants which are found in beef juices,
an excessive use of which. says DR., Will
liam Van Yalzah, causes this trouble.
Turkey. he says, possesses the same
nutritiye qualities as beef, and advise its
being used as a substitute. 1t is especially
valuable where there is an excess of acids
in the stomach. Beef stimulates the acid
seeretions, and where there Is an excess

Illinois Rural Routes.

Illinois is one of the pioneer states
ia rural free delivery. This state leads
all others in the rural free delivery
service. having a total of PAS rural
free delivery routes. Illinois will con-
tinue in this position, the postoflce de-
partment having made statement that
it is hardly probable any other state
will overtake her Indiana has more
counties in which have been installed
complete service, but the Hoosier state
cannot compare with Illinois in the
total number of routes in operation.
Ohio ranks second with 2.1S6 routes;
Iowa third with 2,06S; Indiana. fourth.
with l .934; Pennsylvania fifth. with l.
1877: Missouri sixth, with 1888, etc.
showing Illinois well in the lead.
This means much for Illinois. This
state was recognized by the depart
ment as the best state in which to mi
tiate the service and afterward TO ex-
tend 1.-THE topography of the state, its
population, the character of its people
and all conditions pertaining to the in
stallation of rural service being such
as to invite the rapid extension of that
county with county and district with
district, insuring a convenient delivery
of mail undreamed of few years ago
but which has proved one of the most
practical systems ever afforded by the
government to its rural citizens Nav
l the total number of routes in the
United States was 30.982. as against
24,556 on the same date of the preced-
ing year, showing d rapid growth in
the service all over the United States
The department has done well to has
ten the spreading of this service. as it
brings the people into closer touch and
closer companions ship, and expands the
opportunities of the rural population
which was in measure isolated be-
fore the rural service was extended.
IL is work in which all parties and
all people are interested.

Drastic Measures as TO Railroad
Crossings.

Ii will quite naturally strike the aver
age citizen that the city council has
adopted measures of a somewhat dras-
tic nature in ordering the arrest of To-
cal official representatives of all rail
roads whose trains block the First ave
nue. crossings over five minutes at a
time. While the matter of the block
AIDES on First avenue has been for
source of much exaspiration it will re-
main to be demonstrated whether or
not the council has adopted the best
means of solving the question.
For The Argus own part, it has felt

ed. that the city would be in a position

railroads had it enforced its mandates
as TO the safeguarding of grade cross
ings all over the city. Repeatedly. has
the city ordered gates at Seventeenth,

but the railroads have paid about as
much attention TO the requirements as
il they had emanated from school

There is hardly a city of the size of
Rock Island in the west whose streets
intersected by railroads are not guard
ed by gates provided and maintained
by the railroads. Both Moline and

A MAYNARD ANIMAL.
Tame Badger Gets Loose and Comes
to Grief.

Landlord Guy of the Northwest
ern hotel has. a pet badger which he
secured in Dakota and has had at
the hotel grounds for some time
past. The animal has been kept
chained to a post with "a harness
similar to the kind used for dogs,
the head being to small to admit Of
the use of a collar. The badger
broke loose several days ago, and
since that time has been at large,
roaming at will over the gardens
and lawns of the neighborhood, and
digging burrows with his long
claws wherever the fancy seized
him.
Sometime during Tuesday night
he started a commodious burrow
in Engineer Frothingham's yard,
but before it was completed to his
taste the piece of chain which he
had been dragging after him be-
came caught around a tree-root and
held the beast a prisoner. He evil
IDENTIFY began tugging at the chain
and straining to get away, for
when found the collar about his
neck had cut entirely through the
skin and into the flesh, throwing
his badgership into commissions of
rage and pain. At the approach of
the bystanders he would show his
fangs and hiss in a most forbidding
manner, and nobody cared to I'M
dertake the task of releasing him,
much loss of removing the collar
from the bleeding neck.
After a good deal of speculation
as to the best method of caring for
the animal, chloroform was sug-
gested as means of quieting him.
Accordingly he was placed under a
tin boiler, and left for few NOM
ents to keep company with a rag
saturated with chloroform. This
quickly removed has objections to
being handled, and the collar was
cut off without more ado. The bad
ger was then put into cage, where
he will not be able to trespass on
the neighbors hereafter.

PLATTEVILLE FAIR.
Good Weather, Good Attendance and
the Management Satisfied.

The Platteville fair was draw
ing card for big crowds of people
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
and the management is more than
pleased with results.
In the first place the weather
man arranged the elements suitable
for the event-the main essential
for a good fair. Excursion trains
on both roads delivered large ag-
gregations each day and the farmer
folk turned out en- masse also.
Everything went off smoothly.
Accidents eliminated as far as pos
sible although Mrs. Warren of
Rewey was seriously if not fatally
injured in a runaway Thursday.
Best time made in the races was
ZIG in the free-for-all Thursday.
Ray Carthew's PAGER captured End
money in the 2:35 pace Wednesday
and did good work. Ira Murphey's
Nellie Welsh got third money in
the running race Thursday. Wednes
days attendance was light, but it is
reported that 1000 people passed
through the gates Thursday.
The officers were attentive and
courteous and no words of COM
plant are heard on that score.
The IS cents admission was paid
with reluctance by many.
Summing the matter up the Big
Badger fair of 1905 was a success.
