cause he was dissatisfied and because he would
never consent to let well enough alone, he
struggled through the stone age, and the age

The man who is letting we'll enough alone and
not trying to do better might as we'll be off the

This editorial, with the picture of old MR.
WELL ENOUGH, is intended to counterfeit
some of the harmful talk about being satisfied
with little.
Never be SATISFIED with anything And
don't teach your children to be satshed-keep
their minds free from the dull, discouraging
talk about well enough"
To be satisfied, contented approving your
self and approving conditions, is a sign Of
smalness.
Men become great because they are not sat

wealth or power the more they strive to get
Columbus was not satisfied with the long
sea voyage to India-athough others had been
satisfied for centuries. And because he was
not satisfied Columbus discovered America.
Calico, Copernicus, Kepler, Newton were
not satisfied with the fairy stories about flat
earth and all the hosts of heaven revolving
around our miserable little planet And be-
cause they were DISSATISFIED they gave

King George and the English Government, ad-
vised the people of the United States to let we'll
enough alone. The Tories reminded the
American colonists that England would pro-
tect them, England would make them great,
England would do everything.
But the colonists were not satisfied to be
taxed without representation, and because
they were dissatisfied this country is a nation
instead Of being, like Canada, a colony gov
erned from across the sea.
Dissatisfaction is the only great motive

Millions of years ago the creatures that in

Some Of them became birds and learned

Some developed wings with hooked joints

LATER RETURNS

McDonough County Changes
From Early Estimates Bring
Down Totals Considerably.
GENERAL RESULT is SAME
Wheelan Is Undoubtedly Beaten for
Legislature According to
Last Accounts.

Revised figures of the republican
election returns in the l4th congress
sional district, still incomplete ana
not yet officially confirmed IN more
than one county, make decided alter
atoms in the early estimates and
while G. J. Searle still leads for the
nomination, his vote will be cut down
several hundred.
The main change comes in later re-
turns from McDonough county, the
home OF Dean Franklin, where that
candidate has made remarkable gains.
In some of the other counties Searle
shows gains, the best estimate at 8
o'clock this afternoon making Mr..
Searle's plurality over 400, bas-

earth tonight. / brought the ring"
he added, abruptly.

see that letter. won't you?"
A food of crimson again swept her
face as he drew forth the letter-the
pink letter-from the blue envelope
and read the MESA. she had sent to
Jack Holiday. She paled, then flushed
and paled again.

bit, whatever must you have

Now, Jimmie, this is almost too
much. How do you suppose am ever

thumbs into the blu tonhOles of his

rising indignation.

producing a blue linen envelope with
| the faintest of finger marks-rather
small finger marks-across the back

PUTS A QUIETUS
ON PLACARD CAME
Mayor Schriver Sees Wagon
Load of Political Adver-
Using and Acts.
TO BE TABOOED HEREAFTER
Method of Advancing Candidacy Is
Unsightly and Ordinance Will
Be Enforced.

Hence and forevermore, the attach
ing of signs to any sort of post in Rock
Island is to be ta5ooed by the enforce
ment of the city ordinance governing
that matter, was the meat of a state
ment made by Mayor H. NJ. Schriver
this morning as he reviewed the re-
mains of portion of the display cards
as they were hauled to the city hall in
a wagon after two men had spent the
morning loading it. He stated that the
ordinance is to be enforced, and if there
is any violation, the man who violates
the law will be punished as it specifies.
No more glazing bill advertising bust
ness or political candidates, no more
cards to tell of amusements, are to be
put on the posts, ornamental or other
wise, in the future. The order means
that they must not be tackled on, that
they must not be tied on, that they
must not be pasted on-that they must
not be there.
TEN TO A POLE.
Nearly every post and pole in the
city of Rock Island, especially on the
streets which are most traversed, dis
played from four to ten posters adver-
Using candidates for primary positions.
Certain other cards advertising amuse-
ments and business added to the dis
array. Yesterday afternoon two men
were pressed into service by the
city and they cleaned up several of the
business district posts. They contin-
ued their work this morning, and from
the present aspect it will take several
days to obliterate the trace of the
placards.
A repetition of a like condition in
the future is to be avoided. The signs
are unsightly. Sometimes they are
torn from poles and strewn about
the streets. The only good which car
be seen in the distribution of cards is
the increased printers bill.

PRESENCE or MIND.

but Who Kept Her Wits.
The following is a true story Of an
incident that happened in an English
village:
A husband had gone out for the even
ing and left his wife and child at
home. The woman was about to retire
for the night when, to her anaEement,
she perceived the foot OF a man be-
meath the bed. Instead of calling for
assistance, as some would have done,
she coelly went to the child's cot ana
sat and sang I'LL the child went to

went downstairs and out in the street
to the mail box.
When they had slipped irrevocably
from the grasp Of her cold fingers to
the Jealous guardianship of the red
and white iron box Eloise turned
with the bitterest heaTt-pang she
had ever known and retracted her
steps to the house.
A clock somewhere had just struck
s. Eloise, white-gowned and white
faced. came languidly int5 the room
and sat down. Presently she arose
and crossed the room to the piano
but her fingers clulC stifhy to the
keys. She leaned her head forward
on the music rae and fell into a
reyeTie.
A half hour passed and still she
did not look up. After q bit a door
opened and shut quietly and someone
came swiftly into the room. Eloise
lifted her head, startled, and two big.
warm hands closed over her eyes. a
sudden thrill went through her.
"Jack-Jack Walther!" she cried
struggling to her feet and staring at
him with wide. incredulous eyes.
Why, OF course IS me-" he said
forcibly, il angrammatically you
didn't expect that il was"
Eloise broke IN with little hyster-
ical laugh. The red blood dyed her
face and brought back its natural
ness. You received my-my letter,
Jack?" She sunk into a chair and
her eyes fell away from his as she
asked the question.
II certainly did. That's W, am
here now" He took an eager step

Jimmie pondered a moment, with
a somewhat rueful face. Presently a
brilliant idea seized him; he would
seal them up, Eloise would not re-
member when she came to address
them that she had not done so her
self
Eloise mad had a bad half-houT
with a tiresome caller, and she went
directly into her room and up to her
desk without looking to right or left.
She sat down YEARLY and rested her
head on her clasped hands.
After ell, IL was inevitable. She
owed something-nay,- e. great deal
to her family, her parents, and Jack
Walther would never be anything Lut
comparatively poor man.
She drew pen and ink toward her,
and in a shaking hand directed the
letters. Then she STAMPED them me-

minute with policeman, and the man
was arrested. The burglar when
brought up before the magistrate re-
marked that he had come across a few
brave women In his time, but this one
must have had a nerve like iron, for
