Port Byron's adoption of the fran
chise ordinance for the Tri-Cities &
Northeastern interurban project is de-
clared to be the final preliminary to-
ward this notable improvement.
The promoters are understood to be
prepared now to undertake the financ
ing of the project, being satisfied that
there is no necessity for further delay
in awaiting action by tse village board
Of WATERFOWL, which has demanded
cash compensation of $4,000. With the
prospect of an outlet by way of Silvis.
where the East Moline interurban will
be tapped, the promoters are disposed
to be Indifferent as to what action Wa
tertown takes.
To Have Electric Lights. y
Port byron will have three stations
in that village, and 1t Is assured cleo
trio light service. The matter of fares
has not been regulated. The franchise
ordinance covers 20 years and is sim
liar to those adopted by Hampton,
Cordova and Albany. The interurban
people will erect electric light poles at
intervals Of 300 feet along Main street,
and this viii practically mean the
lighting of the village.
Route Through Village.
The route which the line will follow:
Beginning at the Rapids City line, it
extends through private property to
the turn in Main street at the lower
end of Rock Island street, when the
tracks will come into the street and
follow the west side of the thorough
fare until Linn street Cat the Globe
Office, from which point the tracks
will be laid in the middle of the street
until the Alden Switzerland place is
reached. when it will enter private
property to Victor Johnson's place,
where the west side of the street will
be followed to the Hatchel property,
when the line will occupy private prop
erty along the east side of the railway
to Cordova.

Red Cross Head Balks Attempt Of
Citizens of Peru to Distribute
$4,000 IN Like Manner.

LaSalle, ILL.,, Dec. 1S.-Bishop Dunno
of Peoria has sent SO checks of SIS
each to SO Cherry destitute widows as
Christmas gifts.
Red Cross Denies Aid.
Cherry, ILL.,, Dec. 1S.-A committee
Of citizens from Peru, Ill, headed by
Mayor Hoerner, has been baked by
Ernest P. Bicknell, national director of
the Red Cross, and chairman of the
local relief committee, in it's effort 70
distribute $4,000 in cash among the
families left destitute by the mine dis
aster of Nov. 13.
Mr.. Bickneu has denied the commit
tee the use of the family records on file
at relief headquarters and the commit
tee has been forced to resort to the
books of the st. Paul Coal company for
the information desired. In the mean
time the widows and orphans are be-
ing deprived of the $4,000 which was
donated by the people Of Peru upon
the understanding that it would be CIV
en- in person to each needy family.
Wants Funds Merged
The reason given by Mr.. BickneI
for refusing to aid the committee in
it's charitable mission is that the Peru
money should be merged with the gen.
eral relief fund, and that an independ-
ent distribution of cash among the fam
lilies Of the 80 mine victims at this
time would do them more harm then
good.

HUGO AND THE YOUNG POET.

Praise For His Verses Which tho Mas
ter Had Not Read.
A Paris contemporary tells a story
Of Victor Hugo and a young unknown
poet The poet, hailing from the prov
Dame de Paris a copy of his work,
which he had just published in the
form of a book of poems. Hugo re-
piled in most sympathetic terms, and
the young man was delighted with the
letter, as we'll be might have been.
His Joy, however. was but short
lived, for day or two Inter his serv-
ant announced that the package con-
tanning the volume of poems had come
back through the post unopened. The
package bore the legend Refuse par
lie destinataire-affranc hissement in
suf1isant'' refused by the addressee on
account Of insufficient POSTAGE.
HugO's letter was hyperbolic and in
these terms: Your work has given me
a proud pleasure, under the impression
of which hasten to congratulate you.
Your fame is young and radiant; mine
is declining. 1t is the salutation Of the
night which departs at the rising of
the dawn. You are shining, and ] am
dying. You emerge from oblivion; ]
return there.
The heart either grows hard or
breaks forth. Your sentiments have
come forth, and you have written So
norous and superb poetry which conse-
crates you as poet as well as affirm
ing you as man. You are then 'deux
fois mon frere' twice my brother).
Accept my admiration as great as my
esteem"

MhN We LAUGH.


Laughter seems to be specialized
form of either the scream of a star
tied or injured animal or the cry Of
triumph common to many beasts Of
prey. In children the cry of terror
and the shout Of laughter often shade
into each other. and the young child
escaping from pursuit will scream with
laughter or fear. according to his
chances of escape. Some unexpected
event that causes slight alarm short
Of actual terror is the commoneSt cause
of children'S laughter. but in adults
some sudden event that gives Il sensa-
ton OF triumph over others has much
more influence. Really clever jokes
seldom cause laughter. and it has been
pointed out that a man chasing his
hat will produce laughter far more
hearty In character than the best eff
forts of the cleverest wit. The sight
of i'll fortune in another causes by
contrast feeling of triumph in our
selves. The ticklish parts of the body
are for the most part the sites of i'm
portant blood vessels, and the laughter
produced in children by tickling is
even more closely allied to the cry Of

beauty as upon more substantial merit
to make itself worthy Of attention
Various species of it are used in manu-
features, and several varieties are eGi-
bic, the most important of the latter
being Irish or cnrrageen moss, used in
the preparation of jellies-blancmange
for instance-dulse or dillesk, very
highly thought of by Scotland. partic-
ularly when roasted by wrapping about
hot tongs, and kelp or tangle.
Irish moss and some other species.
particularly eel grass and fat stalk rock
weed, have been found valuable as
cattle food, especially when boiled to
destroy the rank taste and mixed with
meal. The eel grass and rock weed
compare favorably with hay as regards
the most important constituent-pro-
tein-containing COS and S.21 per cent
respectively. They are deficient in fat.
but contain n large amount of ash.
