David always had lived with his grand
father and aunt, who were Presbyteri-
ans Of the dye known as the genuine
old vegetable indigo, which never fades
only softens beautifully with great
age-and the aunt had not reached the
softening age.
For some time she had had doubts
about the desirability of certain boy
as a playmate for David, and one day
she questioned the child.
David, what sort of boy is Tommy
Dean?"
"Oh, he's all right"
Indirect questions brought only tact
full and evasive answers, and finally
she asked:
But, David, have you never heard
him use bad words-words which l do
not allow you to use?"
After a moments hesitation DAVID
replied with little sigh:
We'll, auntie. it's like this, you see.
Tommy's always gone to another Sun
day school."-Philadelp Ledger.

Ingenious Defense.-At the Invest
ors' league dinner in New York the
speeches were made between the
courses-a new invention, as President
George Whigelt pointed out, for saving
the time of banqueters.
Their Defense" President Whigelt
said, apropos of a notorious firm of
patent infringers, their defense re-
minds me in its absurdity of Jack
sons.
Jackson, a rough, sued man for
assault, and yet, when the man ap-
peared in court, he was bitten all over
the face and ears horribly.
How about this?' the judge said to
Jackson sternly. Here you sue man
for assault, and he comes into court
marked all over with your teeth!'
well, judge, your honor said
Jackson, he pounded me so hard while
he was assaultin' me that had to have
something to bite on, or else couldn't
have stood it,"

Regarding the
Monument

The Monument is the sole product
of man which is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
time-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which is only
as long as the span of life. 1t may
help to form Il record. but it is erect
ed as a tribute of love to those who
have passed ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns" AS
such, let it be a thing of beauty, not
dark and somber, but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly sor-
row, but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture is brought to us
from the past by the tombs of the
ancients, so let us pass on to those
i'm our steps, some worthy expression
OF our conception Of beauty.

Tests of City Chemist Show
That State and City Laws
Are Violated.
NOT ENOUGH BUTTER FAT
Moline Ice Cream Company Shows
Percentage of Only s.5-Laws to
Be Enforced in Future.

War on a few of the careless ice
cream manufacturers who sell their
product in Moline has been declared
by Commissioner Z. L Eastman, who
says that in future all cream sold in
this city must measure up to the re-
Quirements or prosecutions will fol-
low. Samples of ice cream were col
lected from four manufacturers as fol-
lows and tested by City Chemist
Fritse. the results proving unsatisfac-
tory:
Butterfat
Davenport Ice Cream Co. 20 per cent
Lagomarcino Grippe Co.. los per cent
Moline Ice Cream Co. =. 3.5 per cent
Barr Dairy Co. ..-.-..12.9 per cent
Moline's city ordinance requires that
ice cream sold in this city contain at
least II per cent. though it is under
stood this is in conflict with the state
law. For this reason Commissioner
Eastman has written Pure Food Com
missioner A. J. Jones of Chicago advis-
ing him of the result of the chemists
tests to determine whether or not the
state law in this respect is being
broken
Sickness Causes Action
Recent complaints of ptomaine pois-
oning with which ice cream users in
the city have suffered, caused the &C
ton on the part OF Mr.. Eastman in
making the companies live up to the
state and local standards.
One Davenport company. according
to Chemist Fritze. showed too many
bacteria in its product The other
three were all right from this stand
point but the percentage OF butter fat
was below the requirement. 1t may
be that the Lagomarcino Grupe COM
pany and the Barr Dairy company are
not violating the state laws, but 1t is
practically certain the other two con-
Germs are.

GIRL
WHEN SPURNED
Man Would Dance With Lithu-

Charges against William Skrupskie,
preferred by Miss Blanche Yuchs, have
been dismissed owing to lack of con-
victing evidence. The new court room
at the city hall was filled with interest
ed spectators when the case came up
for a hearing but after Magistrate
Gustafson had heard both sides he
gave Skrupskie his freedom
Miss Yuchs claimed that she was re-
turning to her home from a dance
when the defendant jumped on her
from behind a tree and gave her a
brutal beating. She said that she had
refused to dance with him earlier in
the evening and believes that this is
the reason he made the attack. She
could introduce no evidence, however,
to substantiate her charge and Magis-
trate Gustafson dismissed the case

Mrs Petronelia Matsol, pioneer
Swedish resident Of this locality,

know of that can be made effectual is
to go back and educate the voters of
his district, not by denunciation of
the man. but by converting the voters
themselves to the cause of woman
suffrage If the average member be-
lieves that the voters who elected him
desire women's suffrage, he will very
rapidly, as a rule, become a suffragist
himself.
az think suffragists would make
more rapid progress if they would
realize that the question of women's
suffrage should be treated as any 9TH
er question of public policy is treated,
and that to make progress there must
be a sentiment built up throughout
the country for the policy desired.
Men interested in a given policy would
not advance that policy by repeated
marchings up and down Pennsylvania
avenue.
"As one who has voted for women's
suffrage in my own state, / very much
regret to see any policy inaugurated
that may lead to the adoption of the
tactics of the militant suffragists Of
England. To adopt such tactics in this
country would destroy, in my judg-
ment. all that has been accomplished
during the last ten years, and so long
as it existed there would be no pro-
gress whatever made along the line
of obtaining the ballot to women"
The charge of promoting militancy
brought against the Congressional
Union has been given color by the fact
that Miss Paul and Miss Burns partic-
mated in the English campaign, were
imprisoned, and later released be-
cause of their persistence in a hun
ger strike
Miss Paul and Miss Burns, however,
vigorously deny they are endeavoring
to introduce militant methods. They
contend that the only way to make
progress toward votes for women is
to keep the subject constantly before
congress and ever at the doorway of
the party in power.

Mayor Carlson announced that repair
work on the asphalt pavements of the
city had been started and Fifteenth
street would be tackled next week.
THE repairs will be only temporary
for next year we are going to resur-
face Fifteenth street and IL / have my
way, brick will be used instead OF as
phalt.'' he said.
1t is understood that at least $500

to Commissioner C. G. Anderson, the
resurfacing will cost at least $4,000
1t will be done next year, regardless
of the outcome of the suit for $4,000
