Reliability Is Capital.

In a recent novel, written by a wo-
man, one of the characters saws:
L knew That l was absolutely safe in
doing so; there is no person to
whom l would rather tell a secret than
a newspaper man. He will go out of
MS way to keep it; he will lock it in
the depths of his bosom and keep it
until seventy times seven. Also you
may threaten the rack or offer a
large salary. the seal does not come off
his lips until the word is given.
That is iuster estimate of the
newspaper reporter as a class than
sometimes falls to his share. He is apt
to learn sooner than some other people
that nothing pays SO well in the long
run as the truth 1t stands a man or
a newspaper in good stead to establish
a reputation for reliability.-NewB Bed

FOR PRISON WALLS.
Miss Genevieve CowIes at Work on
Decoration at Beyreuth.

Miss Genevieve Cowles of Farming
ton has become interested in the artis-
tic side of prison life. Inmates of the
state prison are obliged, when in at
tendance at service in the chapel, to
keep their heads and eyes straight to
the front. This is rather monoton-
Gus. for they have to look constantly
at blank white wall, not calculated
to bring home to them very strongly
any spiritual revelations. Thinking
that mural decoration of some sort
woull be appropriate in the chapel the
warden, Albert Garvin, suggested to
Miss Cowles that she undertake the
task. Miss Cowles, after a summer
spent in Jerusalem. is now at work on
her painting at Beyreuth. She has
mapped out her work and has painted
in several of the figures, but it is not
expected that the whole will be COM
pleted for a year yet. The subject is
Christ and his disciples, showing Peter
in the act of making his third denial
of Jesus, and it is hoped that the
prisoners lives may be lightened by
this lesson of beauty which is to bios
som for them where before was bar
renneSS.

Enemies of Bad Health,

Bad health hates a man who 10
friendly with its enemies-hard work,
plain food and pure air. More men die
from worry than from overwork; more
men stuff themselves to death than die
Of starvation; more break their necks
falling down the cellar stairs than
climbing mountains. If the human
animal reposed less confidence in his
stomach and more in his legs the
streets would be full Of healthy men
walking down to business. Remember
that man always rides TO his grave;
he never walks there.-Old Gorgon

Motorists Should Heed Courtesies of the Road

Every driver is aware that when he
exceeds speed limits he is liable TO ar
rest. If he sees a policeman he slack
ems his speed to avoid arrest, but
should the presence of an officer Of
the law be necessary to enforce ordi-
nary courtesy in the use Of thorough
fares that belong to all citizens in
common?
An automobilist. first of all, ought
to be a gentleman. But is it the act Of
a gentleman to dash promiscuously
through crowded streets, frightening
women and children and placing every
one along his course in peril Of greater
or less degree?
Nor is it the act Of a gentleman to
drive a car madly past another in the
road and then slow down in front so
that the occupants of the latter either
must swallow the dust stirred up by
the former or slow down to escape the
nuisance. Yet this is no uncommon
practice.

STOCK COMPANY HERE.

Commencing with tOnight's perform
ance, the Indiana Stock company be-
gins an engagement of six days at the
Airdome on Eighteenth street. This
company comes direct from Moline,
where it has been playing for the past
10 weeks. 1t was intended to open
here last night, but injunction pro-
ceedings were threatened in Moline if
the company did not play there last
night, and so the opening here was
postponed until tonight. The success
of this company in Moline, both from
a finan cial and artistic view, is an in
dicatiOn of its worth. Many Rock Is
land people are acquainted with the
company, as numerous theatre parties
have been made up here to attend the
performances in Moline during the
summer. Two plays will be put on here
during the week. Captain Racket a
farce of the old school, will take up
the first three nights. This farce was
played all of last week in Moline and
did one of the largest weeks business
of the company's season there. Jane"
a delightfully."- funny comedy which
served to bring the late tombstone Ben
nett to the fore, has been selected as
the bill for the last half of the week.

which may be something more than
legend When be was crossing the
Aegean. his vessel is said 10 have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
TO Pharmacusa. an island Off the Ca
rian coast, which was then in their
possession. and there he was detained
for six weeks with three of his attend
ants. while the rest Of his servants
were sent to the nearest Roman sta
ton to raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He joined In their sports. played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as we'll as he could. frankly telling
them at the same time that they.would
be hanged.
The ransom, a very large one. about
10000. was brought and paid, Caesar
was set upon the mainland, near MI
Ietus. where. without a moments
delay, he collected some armed vessels.
returned to the island. seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plumber and took them away to
Pergamus. the seat of government in
the Asiatic province. where they were
convicted and crucihed. Clemency was
not Roman characteristic. 1t was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interceded TO mitigate the
severity of the punishment. The poor
wretches were strangled before they
were stretched on the crosses and
were spared the prolongation of their
torture.-James Anthony Froude.
