Child MISSING:
WOMEN SCREAM
Piercing Cries Arouse Midnight
Pedestrians on the Down
Town Streets.
MOTHER ALMOST FRANTIC
Little One Was Safe in Care of Kind
hearted Woman Ice Cream
Vender.

A woman's piercing screams fell
upon the ears of pedestrians who hap
pened to be in the vicinity Of the Har
per house corner at midnight last night
and for a time it was thought that
murder was being done. The screams
came from in front of the Family the
atre where a young woman was seen
Keeling around in apparent mental
agony. To her cries were added the
screams of another young woman a
minute later, but the second woman
did more than scream, she told in her
cries what the trouble was and the
result was that the mystery was soon
cleared up and the screaming and cry
ing stopped. A big crowd of both men
and women were drawn to the scene
by the cries and it was the topic of
conversation for an hour afterwards.
Thought Daughter Stolen.
1t seems that the two women are
sisters who have apartments in the
Family theatre building. One of them
is the mother of a 3-year-old daughter
Yesterday evening the sisters went
visiting and the child was left in the
apartment to amuse itself as best it
could. After becoming tired of play
ing on the floor it crawled to an open
window and was soon in danger of
falling to the pavement. It was also
lonely and unhappy, and its cries at

was vending ice cream cones from a
little stand across the street. The

across the street where it would be
safe. The little one played around
under the eyes of its self-appointed
guardian and finally becoming tired
went to sleep. The vender could not
very well take It back before it's
mother came home. so she remained at
her stand until after midnight with the
child in her arms. Finally the mother
and her sister returned and went to
their rooms. The child was not in
sight and they jumped at the conclu-
sion that someone had stolen it. Both
rushed frantically into the street and
the screams from both startled those
in the vicinity.
Lesson to Mother.
The woman who had charge of the
child sent word across the street by a
man that the child was safe and the
mother rushed across the street and
snatched the sleeping little one and
Rugged it to her bosom in an ecstasy
of joy and relief Gradually she calm
ed down and then she went back to
her room. after thanking the kind
little one. II is probable that she will
leave the child alone no more while
she goes away for a good time.

HAS TWO Wives

sP0USES WILL PROSECUTE
George c. Lambert Alias 4. A. Lam
bert Is Much Married Man
Father of Seven Children.

! George c. Lambert, alias \. A. Lam
bert, formerly of Davenport and now Of
Council Bluffs, is a much married man,
in fact he is too much married, as two
women are ready and extremely anxi-
Gus to state before a judge and jury.
Lambert was arrested in Council
Bluffs Friday evening on a charge of
bigany sworn out against him in Dav-
export by the two wOmeT, who claim
20 be his spOuSes and he will be tried
in Davenport. Sheriff Eckhardt left
Saturday to bring the man back to
face his accusers. The arrest followed
the notification of various police de-
pactments throughout the state to be
/ on the lookout for him. The charge Of
bigamy was filed against him in the
Office of Justice Of the Peace Phil
/ Daum.
Has Seven Children.
According to one OF the complain
ants, Mrs. Lizzie Lambert Of Berlin
/ H.. Lambert is her husband and the
father Of seven children She states
that she and Lambert lived together
in Berlin until six years ago at which
time they parted after having a fight.
Lambert she alleges, whipped her for
which she had him arrested and fined.
As he had failed to properly provide
for her and the children she refused
to live with him after this and he left
and came to Davenport. Wife No
is Mrs. Ella Cox Lambert Of Davenport.
His marriage with her took place about
six months ago and from all accounts
it was not a very happy one, any more
than the first one was. Lambert left
the city some time ago and recently
the two spOuses got into combination
and compared notes, with the result
that the bigamy charge was preferred
against their common spouse. When
Lambert married the second time, he
was not yet freed from his first wife,
as no decree of divorce had ever been
issued

A FAMOUS TIMEPIECE.
The Astronomical Clock at Hampton
Court Palace.

The Astronomical Clock at Hampton
Court Palace.
The famous astronomical clock at
Hampton Court palace, near London,
is the first timepiece of that character
erected in England and was made for
Henry VIII. in 1910. According to Err
nest Law, the historian of Hampton
Court palace, it was the creation of
Nicholas Crater, a German astrono-
mer, who visited England at the invi-
tation of Cardinal Wolsey, who intro
duced him to the king.
It is possible to learn from it the
hour. the month, the day of the month,
the position Of the sun and the number
Of days since the beginning of the
year, phases Of the moon and it's age,
the hour at which it crosses the meri-
dian and the time Of high water at
London bridge. The winding Of the
clock occupies half an hour every
week. The weights descend to depth
Of more than sixty feet.
Like many other things about the
palace, it has its legends. It is related
that when Anne Of Denmark, queen of
James l.. died in the palace the clock,
which was striking at the mo-
ment, Immediately stopped. This it is
said to do whenever any old resident
in the palace dies within it's precincts,
and alleged modern instances of the
fact are quoted solemnly by the cr<du.

How He Won Her.

A man who married his stenogra>
pher won her through sheer persisten-
cy. Although it was evident to the
wooer that the young woman did not
regard him entirely without favor, he
found it extremely difficult to get her
to listen to his plea. The stenographer
refused to lunch, sup or go to the the
alter with her admirer. Finding every
avenue of approach blocked, the de-
termined courier, who possessed some
literary facility, wrote a short love
story, in which the girl and he were
the leading figures. This story he sent
to the stenographer every morning for
a month and ordered her to typewrite
it for him. She dared not refuse to
do as her employer commanded, and,
realizing through the story that he
would never give up until she married
him, she finally acQuiesced.-Chicago

EFFECT OF SUGGESTIONS,
Il Can Fill Our Lives With GIadnsss or
B With. Misary


There IS nothing that plays so 1mpor-
tant part in the daily life Of men
and women as does suggestion, says
H. Addington Bruce in the Delinea-
tor. Mentally, morally and to a large
extent physically we are what we
are because Of it's influence. Sugges-
ton can make of us saints or crimi-
nails, heroes or towards. It can lift
us from beds of sickness or doom us
to hopeless invalidism. It cana fill
our lives with gladness or with mis-
cry. 1t is a great force ceaselessly
operative, unacceptable. But it is a
force that we can nevertheless direct
and utilize if we only understand it's
laws, and the more wisely, the more
persistently, the more thoroughly we
use it, the happier and healthier we
shall be.
keep repeating to yourself optimistic
autosuggestions. Repetition is one Of
the most forceful instruments of sug-
gestion. There is great truth under
lying the familiar saying GAS a man
thinketh, so is he" Moreover, you can
utilize the law Of repetition to draw
from your surroundings beneficial sug-
gestions that will powerfully re-en-
force your autosuggestions. You can
do so because every detail in your en-
vironment is of suggestive value to
you, and, although no one can make
this environment all that it should be,
nevertheless it is quite within your
power to modify it in such way that
It will give you maximum of help
full and minimum of harmful sugges-
lions. ...

Peary's Canvas Tents, Which Were
Absolutely Snow Proof.

Peary's Canvas Tents, Which Were
Absolutely Snow Proof.
"A mans first night in a canvas tent
in the arctic is likely to be rather
wakeful." says Commander Peary in
Hampton's.. The ice makes mysteri-
GUS noises, the dogs bark and fight out
side the tent. where they are tethered,
and as three Eskimos and one white
man usually occupy small tent and
the oil stove is left burning all night

not overpure, and sometimes the Eski-
mos begin chanting to the spirits Of
their ancestors in the middle Of the
night Sometimes. too. the new mans
nerves are tried by hearing wolves
howl in the distance.
"The tents are specially made They
are Of lightweight canvas. and the
floor of the tent is sewed directly into
it. The fly is sewed up, circular
opening in it just large enough to ad-
nit a man, and that opening fitted
with circular flap. which is closed by
drawstring, making the tent abso-
lutely snow proof. An ordinary tent
when the snow is flying would be filled
in no time.
"The tent is pyramidal, with one pole
in the center, and the edges are usual
~ held down by the sledge runners or
by snowshoes used as tent pegs. The
men sleep on the floor in their clothes
with musk OK skin or a couple of
deerskins wrapped around them.
'"The kitchen box for our sledge
journeys is simply wooden box con
tanning two double burner oil stoves
with four inch wicks. The two cook
ing pots are the bottoms of five gallon
coal oil tins fitted with covers. When
packed they are turned bottom side up
over each stove, and the hinged cover
Of the wooden box is closed.
