WHAT HE KNEW BEST.

At a recent church entertainment in
Rock Island a certain boy of years
was on the program for a recitation.
So pronounced was the hit he made
that the audience encored him. His
aunt, who was coaching him. whisper
ed instructions for him to return to
the rostrum and sing Jesus Loves
Me" He went out before the audi
ence, all right, but in the excitement
he either misunderstood or forgot his
cue, and there was a sensation when
his small voice rose clear and unmis-
taxable in MY Wife's Gone to the
Country, Hooray! Hooray!"

Are You Nervous
GREAT SPECIALIST TELLS WHY
YOU DON'T GET WELL.

Are you nervous? Then we say to
you that somewhere along the spine
there is very often a congestion and
you can never get we'll until that con-
gested spot is relieved. We have prov
en- this in hundreds of cases, and we
can prove it to you. We have the
! testimony of hundreds of grateful pa
tients to back up this great truth.
/ For years we have made a scientific
study of these cases. By finding these
congested places in the spinal column
and relieving them by special treat
ments we have cured hundreds after
others failed. Many of these cases
/ had been ailing for years, and be-
! fore coming to our office, they had
/ been treated by others for all kinds
of complaints except the right one.
/ Many complaints are caused or
kept up by congestion in the spine
such as nervous prostration, nervous
dyspepsia, indigestion, palpitation of
the heart, loss of sleep, poor mem

ONE WAY To BEAT THE DENTIST.

We know a man in Rock Island
county whose teeth are so poor and
who has such deep seated dread of
the high cost of dentistry that he
keeps a small grinder screwed to the
table beside his plate to fulfill the
function of his absent molars. Despite
the fact that he is forced to turn the
crank by hand and the further handi-
cap of a set of long, flowing whiskers
that frequently get tangled in the shaft
or drift into the. hopper he is able to
hold his own with the rest of the
family in slowing away the good
things that his wife sets before him
If he lived in the city where he could
attach a water motor or a small dyna-
mo there would be- famine among
the other members OF the household.
1t is understood he has taken steps
to have his system patented. You may
think this is a fairy tale, but it isn't

ONE FARE STANDS
Western Passenger Agents FL
nally Agree on Summer
Tourist Rates.
$3.50 TO THE PACIFIC
For Convention Round Trip Charge
Will Be Reduced to $62.5O
from Chicago.

After four days session passenger
agents of the western roads at their
conference in Chicago yesterday agreed
that round trip summer tourists rates
would be $3.50 and for the various
conventions $625O. The rate in each
instance is one fare for the round trip.
The low rate tickets will be on sale
every day from June 1 to Sept. 80, in
elusive, and the final return limit will
be Oct. 81
Allowed Two Routes.
Passengers using the $3.50 tickets
will be allowed to go one route and
return another line, provided the des-
ti1ation is in common territory, that
is, one may go to California over any
line to San Francisco and return over
any route from Los Angeles, or vice
versa, for the same rate, or he may go
to Seattle over the Hill roads and re-
turn by way of Portland over the Har-
riman lines for the same rate.
If passengers desire, however, to go
to the coast via Los Angeles and San
Francisco and to return by way of
Portland, Seattle and the northern
roads, or vice versa, the trip will cost
SIS extra.
Applies to Conventions, Also.
The use of the Shasta route, the Har-
riman line connecting the north Pacific
coast with California. will be the test
between direct and diverse route tick
cts. The same arrangements on routes
and difference in fares will apply to
the charges agreed upon for the con-
ventions.
Now that the officers of the western
roads have settled upon summer pas
senger fares, it is likely that the rep
resentatives of the lines east of Chi
cago will take up the matter of reduc-
tions in that territory for the coming
season.

NEW HEAD FOR THE NEWLY RICH.

Recently there was organized in the
city a club to be known as the Newly
Rich, having for it's membership men
of leisure, either through choice or
otherwise. The instigator was Captain
Walter A Rosenf1eld. He had on the
lists upwards of IS names. One of the
most active members was NJ. NJ Cruise,
auditor of the Denkmann estate. 1t
will be recalled that Mr.. Cruise met
with an accident last fall that caused
the disablement of his right arm, and
he was in enforced idleness several
months A few weeks ago he left the
city to take up his regular duties, hav-
ing been assigned to Hammond, La,
where the Denkmanns own a large
saw mill. Mr.. Rosenfield, as soon as
he learned of Mr.. Cruises departure,
and the occasion thereof, he issued
circular letter announcing that the gen
tleman had been expelled from the
club, and that his offense was in hav-
ing returned to work.
Mr.. Rosenfield is anything but an
idler, despite that he has enough of
this worlds goods TO lay down his
pick and not turn another wheel the
balance of his life. But he is not that
type of young American. He is ambi-
tious, has good health, and loves to
work.
But-during the week there was an
nouncement of the sale of the Moline
Wagon company plant to Deere & Co.
Mr.. Rosenffeld is president of the Mo-
line Wagon company-or was until the
consummation of the sale the other
day 1t might be explained in this
connection that he sold the plant of
the wagon company because 1t was
more profitable to do so than to con-
tinue its although it was a
good profit maker-under present man.

was a fire In the apartment building
where they were residing temporarily.
The news of the fire reached the
friends of the bride in Rock Island.
After receiving assurances that Mrs.
Chambers escaped injury, their first
thoughts were of the canary.
Mrs. Chambers was deluged with
letters, and in all there was solicita-
ton for the feathered warbler. The
letters all have been replied TO, and
Mrs. Chambers friends have been re-
lieved.
The canary did not even get singed,
although DR., and Mrs. Chambers had
a great part of their wardrobe de-
stroyed The fire was ct night, after
the couple had retired.e Mrs Cham
bers made an heroic effort to save the
more valuable of her clothing, so the
accounts of the fire say, but when she
saw that to carry them all would in
terfere with the safety of the canary,
she cast aside enough to make sure of
a secure hold on the bird cage, and
hoisting it in her hand aloft of her
head, she marched out Of the burning
building. And the songster lives to
sing as sweetly as Of yore.

Many Uses of Sand.

The sands of the sea are singulaFay useful. They are of primary impor- tance in glassmaking. They have an important place ill warfare, as bank of sand twenty inches thick is proof against modern rife shots The cleo trical properties of sand show that 1t has positive electricity, although a rod of silica, the chief constituent of sand. Is negative.
 The singular drying effect which oc- CUTS when a stretch of wet sand is pressed by the foot is due entirely to an alteration In the piling of the sand grains Normally the grains are close together, but abnormal piling Is brought about by pressure of the foot. the space between the edges of the grains being enlarged and the water drained away If the pressure of the foot Is continued the sand becomes wetter than ever, the partial vacuum quickly bringing water from the sur rounding sand.
 In quicksand the moving character is thought to be due to the imprison- ment between the grains of gases from organic matter.-Chicago Tribune.

 The mother replied, You will not give him back to me-"
 Then" said the crocodile, "by our agreement shall keep him, for if you have told the truth I am not going to give him back, and if 1t is lie l have also won.''
 But the mother said, "If told you the truth you are bound by your prom ise. and if it is not the truth it will not be lie until you have given me my child"
