Number Is may be a hoodoo Friday
also may be a hoodoo. But for some
people they have no superstitious sig
nificance and are no more to be feared
than any other number or any other
day in the week. Among these is the
Franc Furniture company, the big new
furniture store which will have it's for
week
The headquarters for the furniture
company will be the former home Of
the Davenport Savings bank at 10I

las gone through extensive remodel
ing during the past six months and is
now one of the best equipped furni-
ture stores in the middle west.
The furniture company will occupy
the entire building, four floors and
basement and has already installed a
stock of high grade but popular priced
furniture, carpets, rugs and stoves
that should appeal to every purchaser.

be announced within few days. Beau
tiful souvenirs will be given to every
visitor and an orchestra will render a
musical program throughout the day.

Franc Furniture company is one, will
he here at the opening Friday.
Although each of the four floors OF

mansions, the furniture company's
stock is so large that it has been found
necessary to have a warehouse and
tic one formerly occupied by the West
ern China company at the foot of
Scott street has been secured. A
force of 25 clerks will be employed.
An entire new front is one of the
most noticeable of the remodeling OPP
erations that have transformed the
former bank building into an up-to-
date furniture store. This front will
allow an adequately sized show win
dow while the entire first floor will
be used as a show room. The walls
have been redecorated and the light.

SCION OF NOBLE

Descendant of Athenian Philos-

on Twentieth Street.
RESIGNS HIS POSITION
Held High Office Of Barber in Ancient
City But Was Digging Ditch
Here.

The sun beat down pitilessly upon
the brunette visages Of the Twentieth
street ditch diggers Monday afternoon.
AS they toiled in the narrow trench,
from which the sizzling heat radiated
as though from an old-fashioned kitch-
en- range, great beads of perspiration
the size Of walnut meandered down
their intellectual foreheads and trick
led from their patrician noses in
small rivulet. Little did Rock Island
citizens suspect, as they gazei upon
the toiling sons of Greece, that in their
midst was the scion of noble family
days, wont TO loiter about the Acrop-
oils clad in an airy toga of light
muslin texture, drinking in the breezes
from the olive trees and placidly drag
ging at a homemade cigaret whilst
laying bets on the next marathon foot
race.
AFFLJ1ENT IN GREECE.
But such was the case. Antonio Cos
toloppidus was the mobiles name. An
tonic occupied a position of promin-
ence and afiluence in Greece, and was
looked up to by the whole neighbor-
hood, for he was a barber. But, ali!
what change. Instead of pushing the
sale of some Lycurgus bay rum or
some Hadrian shampoo upon a long
suffering Athenian customer, he was
yesterday engaged in the degrading
labor of massaging a 30O-pound sewer
pipe and shaving several layers of dust
from the face of mother earth.
TOO GREAT A STRAIN.
The task proved too great a strain
for the patrician, and about o'clock
he emitted an expressive grunt, con-
veying both disgust and fatigue, and
resigned his position. America, a
land Of promise" he said Huh. no

shovel he waved a naughty farewell
