a straw projecting from their shoes.

utensils, such as forks, spoons and
glasses, which come into contact with
the mouth. are usually washed alto

dried OF the same cloth. This gives
great opportunity for the distribution
of infective agencies. For this reason
particular care should be exercised In
families where any member may be

sterilize the table utensils used in
boiling water. People who complain Of
catching cold in many instances are
merely catching infection from little

Americas Oldest University.

The comparatively small connection
the people of the United States have
with Peru makes it diff cult for many
to realize that in the city Of Lima is
the oldest university in the new world,
the University Of San Harcos. founded
in 1853. At this historic educational
institution a students congress was
held recently that was noteworthy in
it's character. The minister of in
struction gave a magnificent banquet
In honor of the delegates, at which a
large number Of distinguished guests
were present, and at which several
speeches ~appreciative of closer inter
course between the American nations
were made.

PAT GROVE HEADS A
JAIL DELIVERY PLOT

An attempted Jail delivery which was
headed by the versatile Pat Grove,
was frustrated yesterday at the Scott
county jail when the officials learned
of the plot.
With Grove is one Edward Koch,
who has served time in the state PEN
itentiary. Together. it was learned,
they had planned to attack Jai.er
Martens and overpower him. Then
they were 20 take the keys of the diff
ferent cells and nberate each and every
prisoner
The plot 20 rid the Jail OF its oc-
cupants was learned by Sheriff Eek
hardt through a tip given by one of
the prisoners. Every precaution was
taken TO prevent the execution Of
any plot and a strict watch was kept
on all the prisoners. Those who are
alleged TO be at the head of the plot
are now in separate cells and will be
kept there until their time is served.

He stood still In the doorway look

YEGGMEN DRIVE
SILVIS BANK OUT
J. L. Crowder Consohdates
Private Institution With
Another.
WAS ROBBED TOO OFTEN
Proprietor Nearly Beaten to Death in
Latest One, Which Took
Place Week Ago.

Tired OF the regular visits of yegg-
men. J. Lee Crowder OF Silvis today
announced that his private bank had
teen turned over to the Manufactur-
err State bank Of East Moline and
that he would hereafter conduct his
general store without bank as an ad-
juact. Mr. Crowder was moved TO his
present course mainly by his exper-
fence Of last Saturday, when he was
held up by four men and badly beaten,
$500 being taken from his place. Last
summer his safe was blown and 81, 900
was taken.
USED As TRADE GETTER-
Mr.. Crowder's bank was intended
chiefly as a trade getter for his store,
his main business in the banking line
being the cashing of checks for en-
plcyes OF the Rock Island road. He,
OF course, was unable to protect his
crsh box as perfectly as would be
done in an institution of larger CAPT
tai and It was a standing temptation
for thieves, who found facilities for an
easy getaway in the railroad yards
Silvis now has no bank.

When he reached the girls homo
he didn't even stop to ask her II she
had got a position; but read her
story from her tired little face as she
greeted him at the door.
He told her the news and his
| cousins effer. She hesitated at first.
| but Jim's enthusiasm won her, and
| she promised to be ready the next

He wondered what the fellows
would say to see civil engineer turn

counted himself lucky to get that I'M

Jim proved a good operator: and
the girl even surprised herself with
her SHOW talent" az she called IT.
Good luck favored Jim, and he was
! given a position as chief craftsman
with a good company. where his pros
poets were better than ever before.
Jim's time had come. That night,
as he was going to leave, he went out
of the booth and down the aisle to
the orchestra pit where the girl was
arranging her music for the next day.
Finally she turned around to walk up
the aisle.

hand toward Jim.

"On WHAT" questioned the girl,
looking up at him.
"On the fact that to be a good en-
gineer requires music in the house"

on the piano in the corner. An idea
flashed through his mind-what If,
no. that was out Of the question, and
perhaps
Does your daughter play the
piano?" asked Jim, suddenly remem-
bering that he was q guest.
Eyes, a great deal; and l don't
know what we would do to amuse

Maize Is fine player, too
1t was hard for him to remember
when he had had such a homelike
| meal. 1t had its effect on him, and
he made quite an after-dinner enter
tainer as they sat about the table
and Jim told stories of his travels
and career.
He walked across the city to his
own boarding house. The damp
feet on his spirits, and when he
reached his room he opened wide the
window and sat down on the bed to
think
No use to deny It; she was the only
girl. But why on earth couldn't he
have met her before, when his pros
poets had been good for success?
He fell to wondering where his
next Job was coming from, ne even
tried to devise a means to help the
girl; he knew she needed 1t. He
turned In, but II was some time be-
fore he went to sleep.
Contrary to his usual inclinations
he was out OF bed early the next
morning, and after breakfast there
seemed nothing to do but walk the
streets. He realized now as never
before what 1t was that filled the
streets with loafers, wt) could never
seem to offer any good excuse for be-
ing there.
He tramped that day, but without
success, and he almost gave up that
night.
The next day he went out to a
neighboring town where his cousin
was Just starting a moving-picLure

cts or play the usher for the present
anything was better than loafiing.
