Elasticity of conaeianoa.

IN the majority Of cases conscience
Is an elastic and very flexible article,
which will bear a deal of stretching
and adapt itself to great variety of
circumstances. Some people, by pru-
dent management and leaving 1t off
piece by piece, like flannel waistcoat
in warm weather, even contrive in
time to dispense with it altogether,
but there be others who can assume
the garment and throw it of at pleas
ure, and this, being the greatest and
most convenient improvement, is the
one most in vogue.-From Dickens

PILOTS QUARTERS.
The little shack was used as head
quarters for the old rapids pilots and
many a river yarn was snapped

Coleman, Jim Burns and the late
Captain George Lamont. These pi-

would return by land to Rock Island
and hang out at the little building
until their next voyage. They re-
Ceived from SIS to $40 trip in those
days and were topnotchers in their
profession.
HIGHT THE STAR OF ALL.
OF all the river celebrities who
honored the little shack by their pres
ence, Wash" Hight was the star. He
is generally conceded to have been
the best pilot who ever took a boat
over the rapids. He always wore the
same style of costume and no matter
how many new articles of wearing
apparel he purchased, the outfit was
invariably the same, /. e., gray
trousers, boots and a blue coat with
velvet collar. Wash" had three
strong hobbies. He was a radical re-
publican, he believed that the Uni
versalist religion was the only one,
and firmly imbedded in his mind was
the strong conviction that "Lobelin
! Tonic" was a panacea for all human
| ills.
After the building was sold to the
Lannon'S, the pilots shifted their
quarters to the upper floor of the
structure at 1918 First avenue, which
! has now been acquired by the same
company. AS the house is a portable
one, it will probably be disposed of
to campers.
