AMATEUR Teams
PREPARE PLAY
Tri- Cities Will Not Have as
Many Independent Football
Squads as Last Year.
WEST ENDS DROP OUT
Moline Organization Leaves the Fled
Clear for the Him
Club.

The interscholastic football season
having started, the amateur and indie
pendent players are beginning to get
busy. though from present prospects
there will not be as many independent
teams in the three cities during the
present season as there were last year.
The Moline West End club, several
times champions of the tri-cities and
champions OF the state in 1910, have
decided not TO reorganize this year.
The Illini team, which took both state
and city title away from the West
Ends last year in two hard fought
games, will be in the field, however,
and possibly some of the better men
from the former champions will be in
the Illini lineup The Illini squad has
not vet secured a coach, but is ar
ranging games and will start practice
shortly.
DAVENPORTERS TO PLAY.
The West End club of Davenport,
co. uted among the tri-City top-notch-
els. although not quite in the class of
the two Moline teams of the past few
years, will reorganize this year in
hopes of coping the tri-city title for
their own city. Practice starts Sun
day afternoon at Suburban island. Sew
eraI former Davenport high school men
have agreed to play with the team,
and the prospects are excellent.
No TEAM HERE YET.
AS yet no plans have been formula
ted for a team in Rock Island Last
year the Maroons were in the field,
hut their schedule was poor one, and
they failed TO clear expenses for the
season. There is plenty of material
for a fast team, however, and if some
one is found who can take charge OF
the work of organization, the city can
have another strong aggregation TO
cope with the Illinois and est Ends

NO PLACE FOR FATHER
Bathroom Nook Only Family Head May Find Privacy

The English home with it's lack of proper"
heating and also its sad lack of ventilation
and bathtubs Is no more a marvel to the
American woman than the American home
is to the English woman The latter freely
admits that the conveniences of the american
home are beyond compare but there is one
serious defect that is always commented on.
This is set forth by Mary Mortimer Maxwell
in the National Review London). There is
no place for father Surely there must be
some truth in this, for SO many British women
have called attention to the fact that we
have no privacy in our homes, and have
pointed to the shortcomings of pretty strands
of beads serving as doors, and to the fact
that the bathroom is the only sanctuary, the
Indianapolis News remarks. This Is borne
out by observations In many cities former
official in Indiana is well read in history. He
also has family. He freely admits that he
absorbed his history ly ing with pillow in tho
bathtub, safe beyond the reach of the growing
children This is just what Mary Mortimer
Maxwell is speaking about when she says:
But the member Of the American family
to whom my thoughts turn in greatest sympa,

denial Of the opportunity for the cultivation

for everything buys the house with his own
earnings or hires it, and yet generally has not
SO much as a corner that is his very own.
1t Is called his house, 1t has many rooms.
There are the drawing room, the living room,
the library. There are numerous bedrooms
and dressing rooms but If he really desires
solitude, there would seem to be nothing for
him but to lock himself up in the bathroom.
Sometimes you hear the members of an Ameri-
can family speak of fathers den, to be sure.

Painter Of Kings

The state portrait Of King George,
which Sir Luke Fildes has been com
.missioned to paint, will not be the
first that the famous artist has exc
cuted for his majesty, says M. A. p,
London. He had the honor of paint
ing both the king and the queen on
the occasion OF their engagement, and
the royal family were so pleased with
the picture that Queen Alexandra,
then princess Of Wales, consented TO
sit to him. The double portrait Of the
then duke and duchess Of York was
"a wedding present, and 1t now hangs
in buckingham palace Sir Luke
Fildes also painted the duke OF Ciar-
ence's portrait after his death. using
photographs and miniatures for the
purpose. King Edwards first state
portrait was painted by Sir Luke in
1909. Three years later he was re-.

The most extensive of the restored walls
are the screen walls" the function of which
was to hide from the sight Of Washington's
guests seated on the lawn the inevitable do
mestc activities that were carried on around
Slch outbuildings as the kitchen, the smoke
house, the spinning house, etc.-adjuncts Of
the mansion which it was not desired to have
obtrude themselves upon the notice of visit
ors Almost as interesting as the screen
walls, however, are the "Ha Ha" walls, which
are depressed below the level of the sloping
lawn and are consequently undesirable from
the portico of the mansion, but which in
Washingtons day performed an important
function by preventing the stock from wan
dering on the lawn in front Of the house The
name "Ha Ha" as applied to such walls origi-
mated in England and is attributed to cross
country riders who were surprised into max
ing the ejaculation when they suddenly and
unexpectedly came upon such hidden wall
in their chase of fox.
The restored walls although the most i'm
portant of recent Improvements at Mount Yer

be noted by the sightseers and tourists who
now visit this historic spot in throngs that ag-

Her work and name we're too precious
to impair by trusting to jaded facul-
ties.
Now that the die was cast and Ce-
leste ready to journey forth she waited
impatiently for such an offer as she
could accept.
Three days later Celeste boarded a
train for Glen Head, a tiny village on
the Sound. She had received simply
worded but winning letter from an
elderly couple who were apparently
alone in their big estate on the waters
edge. The coackman would meet her
at the station In a governesss cart.
With eyes sparkling and cheeks
aglow Celeste alighted at the Glen
Head station. She was the only pass
enger getting of and this fact pre-
vented any mistake on the part Of the
coachman In the small cart. Celeste
had wondered why an elderly couple
should elect to travel about the coun-
try roads in this particular style of
vehicle. Now she knew. A small child
was evidently part of the household
to which Celeste was being driven.
Celeste experienced a peculiar thrill
when she looked closely into the
baby's face. Her greenish gray eyes
with their dauntless expression were
much like Hugh Ardales.
After series Of questions which the
small beauty asked of Celeste and
which were duly and evidently salts
factorily answered Celeste herself
asked:
"And what is your name, darling?"
"Marsa Ardale--" lisped the baby.

sired material for this roof, just as it was no
end of trouble to find the bricks for the walls
above referred to- About $4,000 cypress shin
giles were needed for the new roof, but they
must needs be rived" shingles because Wash
ington had that kind and it seemed impossible
to find any rived shingles because nowadays
shingles are not made that way, saving being
much easier than splitting, Finally a lumber
firm in South Carolina undertook to supply
shingles that would duplicate those of Wash
ington's day, but they charged almost a cent
apiece for the singles, which made the roof
pretty expensive one.

Celeste Wheeler bought morning
paper and turned eagerly to the per-
sonal column. A little laugh escaped
her as her eyes alighted on the ad she
had inserted. She read it over still
wearing her irresponsible smile.
"a young lady will paint miniature
in return for few weeks hospitality
in the country. Long Island pre-
ferred. References"
There! The die is castl If l had
any family to Judge me insane they
might have good cause. Still-it is a
very sensible way to get much need
ed bit of the country when funds hap
pen to be at low tide and energies
depleted"
Celeste looked wistfully down at her
rather shabby shoes and the dust col
ored velvet of her gown. Luckily for
both they were of shade which neith-
er showed their poverty nor their lack
of care. They were artistic in their
very shabbiness as was the soft gray
hat with its woefully dropping plume.
Not SO with Celeste's eyes. These
great, wonderful eyes assumed all the
brightness and depths and happiness
of two new born stars. Only occa-
sionally were these eyes permitted to
reflect all the inward longing for the
man whose love had been ruthlessly
cast aside. Celeste had been very
young when she had told Hugh Ardale
that art must take the place of love.
Well, fame was gradually creeping in
to fulfil its mission and Celeste Wheel
er smiled, through all.
SHE reached her studio and in the
hope that answers would soon come
from her advertisement, Celeste gave
her wonderful artistic treasures more
or less cursory tidying. Also she put
few much needed stitches in the
fragments of wardrobe which she
possessed
When these duties, enormous to the
artistic temperament, were over, Ce-
leste went to her little tin box and
looked over her wealth. She had ex-
actly ninety-nine dollars Her studio
was paid for for another twelve months
and Celeste had orders for nine minia-
lures, waiting her leisure. She would
not touch one of these until she had

A municipality, on the other hand.

an undertaking at a loss, for the sake
of a wider diffusion of public bene-
