AMERICAN MANNERS ABROAD
At Dinard the Women From This
Country Drink Cocktails With
Cold Potato Chips.

American manners rule at Dinard,"
says the English Sketch, and trans
Atlantic tastes are catered for on the
Casino terrace, where the band plays
daily an assortment of ragtime two
steps and a procession of assiduous
walters brings cocktails at noon to
the idlers in basket chairs. who never
seem to tire of staring at each other.
"The men gulp down their dry Mar
TINS without accompaniment, but the
pretty American women drink theirs
with cold fried potato chips, sim
gular form of nourishment which it
is the mode at Dinard to convey to
your mouth with natures utensil, your
fingers
Thus the most dazzling beauties of
Dinard including those who are love
ly and youthful enough to wear che
new poke bonnet may be seen toy
ing with this homely vegetable in Just
this primeval manner. Wonderful are
the ways of fashion, for nothing more
unlikely could have been conceived
than that beautiful ladies should
drink gin and vermouth in public
while helping themselves to cold fried
potatoes with their bare, beringed
hands"

CITY NEWS

Jacob Kornung and son, 1907 Blon-
deau street, were returning from the
Powder Works Sunday afternoon when
their horse scared at an automobile
and ran away. A smash-up resulted,
in which the buggy was badly demol
isued and the occupants slightly in
jured.
e. P. Eastman of Burlington spent
Sunday at the Denmire residence,
making the trip to Keokuk in an au
tomobile.
The state municipal department has
completed the taxable values of prop
erty in the ten leading cities of the
state. Two of the cities tax their
property on the basis of 100 per cent
of the value, one city taxes on the
basis of SO per cent and the balance
of the cities tax on basis of % per
cent. Dubuque and Cedar Rapids tax
on the 100 percent basis, while Dav-
export taxes on the so per cent basis.
The figures given below are on the
basis of the percentage tax. They
are as follows: Des Moines, $685.

POND BUTTER .s.OUSE
WOULD BLAZE BADLY
Scare Yesterday Morning When Mo-
tor at Bottom of Elevator
Shaft Burned Out.

At 10.4O Sunday morning, the fuse
in the elevator motor at the S. P.
Pond Company, burned out, causing
a lot of smoke but no fire. The de-
partment was Immediately called
answering general alarm, so that in
case of fire, the danger would be les
sened. The smoke curled up through
the elevator shaft. causing a little eX
citement. If fire should once start
in this, one of Keokuk's largest es-
Establishments, the firemen would have
the time of their lives trying to put
it out, as the oil and other inflam-
mable ingredients would aid the
flames greatly. Ample fire protection
is maintained there by the owners,
however, and the danger is reduced to
a minimum.
Clarence Green, the new driver at
Rolla station No. 2, is giving best Of
satisfaction.
The West end team, the new and
beautiful gray, TON" and old Patsy
make one of the prettiest fire teams
in the country, the former behaving
like veteran and making a pleasing
combination with its running mate.

device contains more than four miles
of heavy copper wire by means of
which 5000 horse power Of electrical
energy is raised to a pressure Of 1885,
500 volts. Before shipment each ma
chine was tested with pressure of
100000 volts to prove the safety of
the insulation.
Without the transformer the mil
lions of horse power which are now
being developed from the various
rivers and streams and used in the
cities and villages for manufacturing
and railroad work, as well as for heat
Ing and lighting, would be impossible.
The current could be generated, but it
could not be transmitted very far. 1t
is the big transformers which make
it possible to turn the water power of
Niagara into electricity and to send
it over the slender wires as far as
Syracuse Toronto and Rochester with
a trifling cost.
Among the larger cities, which re-
ceive a greater portion Of their cleo
tricity from transmitted water power,
are the following:

CHEERFUL SPIRIT A DUTY
Happy Disposition Largely a Matter
Of Individual Habit and Can Be
Acquired Easiiy.

Comparatively few persons possess
uniformly cheerful dispositions. Most
of us have our sad hours and moods.
But whatever the disposition, we are
bound by the laws of our own being,
and by those Of our social relations,
to cultivate the virtues of cheerful
ness, assiduously and constantly.
No one has right to injure bis
neighbours happiness any more than
to interfere with his pecuniary prop
eI-ty, and one cannot indulge in vent
ing ill-humor and spleen with gloomy
forebodings and complaints. or even
carrying sour, frowning visage
without sensibly diminishing the en-
1oyment or comfort of others, and
thus infringing on their rights. says
an exchange.
Any individual who tries to do so
can win himself from dependency
and surliness. The power Of enjoy
ment is in itself faculty capable
OF improvement, and as practise al
ways enhances power, 1T is a good
thing to form the habit OF enjoyment
1t Is not true that the sources Of
pleasure are few and rare, but it is
sadly true that we pass them unno-
ticed.
We crave the excitement Of bust
ness, or politics, or fashionable life,
and forget the world of innocent en-
joyment we trample under foot Ma
ture and art offer their treasure in
vain; the liveliness of childhood, the
attractions of home, the real satisfac-
ton OF honest labor, the simple pleas
ure of little things, all plead for ut
terance and we repulse them
How can we possess cheerful
spirit and glad heart when we scorn.
fully despise our simple pleasures2
Every innocent means of happiness
should be welcomed, and gloomy
thoughts persistently banished.
