FORMER MAYOR TO
Get appointment
Andrew Olson, According to
Washington Dispatches, May
Take Important Job.

Andrew Olson, former mayor of Mo-
line, and a candidate on the demo
cratic ticket for nomination at the
last primaries for secretary of state
of Illinois, is to be given federal ap-
pointment, according to federal dis
patches sent out from Washington
The report is that he will be named
as a commercial attache under the de-
partment of commerce. Congress has
just made provision for the appoint
ment of a number of attaches, whose
task will be to stimulate the Foreign
trade of the United States.
In discussing the matter with repre-
sentatives of the press today, Mr.. Oh
son said: dispatches say the ap-
pointment will be made; l do not
that an actual appointment
has yet been made. At any rate l
have not yet received official notice
the matter. Naturally,
therefore, l have nothing much to say
about it at present"

SCHOOL CENSUS
NOW COMPLETED
Moline Has Population of g.,
395 Under Age of 81, Ac-
cording to Census.

According to the official school cen
sus of Moline, just completed under
the direction of Miss Rita Knowles.
secretary of the local board of educa-
ton, the city has population of g.
395 under the age of 81 years. This
figure shows an increase of 1,496 over
last years census, when the popula-
ton was 1899.
The actual increase, however, Is
thought TO be somewhat less than the
figures given, for the reason that ths
city census, from which this years
figures were taken, was more hor.
ough than the school census OF last
year. When the usual ratio OF those
under u to the total population
considered, this years figures are
nearer what a total population o. 20,
300 should call for. It is also poinlea
out that the 1913 school census, ior
the first time in the history OF 'ne
schools, showed a decrease over tns
wear previous. The school populauon
for 1912 was S,156.

Story of a Mad Doa.

Once upon a time there was a man who had large St. Bernard dog which he kept for a watch dog. He valued him very highly. At night when he got home from his work he would let him in the house, and his children would romp and play with him all the evening. They would pull him about and he did not seem to mind it.
 This dog would not allow anyone to come in the yard if he was loose, so the man had to keep him tied up. He had a cotton rope an inch through tied 70 his collar and fastened to a tele- graph wire, the wire being fastened to the corner of the house and the barn.
 One night while the man was asleep the dog went mad and bit the rope in two. It looked so it had been cut with a very sharp knife.
 When the man got up In the morning he thought somebody had stolen his dog. He inquired of everyone to know if they had seen his dog, but after a few days he was notified by telephone message from Jewett City that his dog had been killed after it had bitten two or three children. They had killed the dog and sent his head to New York to see if he had hydrophobia. They received word that the dog was mad. The man had to pay damages but he said he was very sorry that the dog bit the children, and he was also sor- " to lose such a valuable dog.
 This Is a true story.

 Tommy saw the door of his bedroom open and in walked MT. Cochin, the rooster. with big book under his wing. The boy seemed to be fright ened. but Mr. Cochin jumped on a table by the side of the bed, pulled a pair of Spectacles out from his feath- CTS, and, putting them on, made ready to read.
 What are you going to do?' asked Tommy.
 I've come to read you few help ful rules for climbing trees,' said MT. Cochin. If you will persist in roasting around like us birds, you should know how to do it properly" leaves until he finally said: tAh, here it is: Trees, flying up into Rule one, Squat firmly on both claws.
 But I haven't any claws" Tommy said faintly.
 That's a fact, we'll have to try your wings out wide.''
 T never had any wings" Tommy said, growing bolder because his wis itor appeared so friendly"
 Well. here's the third rule. which may hit your case: Then hold your tail feathers straight"
 Then Tommy burst out laughing, as he cried
 "Rut hoys don't have feathers"
 AIr. Cochin scratched his chin a minute and then turning the pages of the book quickly. cried: @
 Rule 9e9 is the one for you. It says: Men and boys that have no wings. claws or feathers. should never climb trees That seems to meet your case exactly, Tommy, ard the best thing you can do is to follow the rule right up to the letter.

UNCLE JED'S TALK T
 AWAkES.

January is the month when the art ists show the old man, Time, with the flowing hair and beard of a prophet. He is an imaginary man, who doesn't t fill the bill. Time knows neither youth nor age; and Time, like the Tide, waits for no man.
 How do you suppose there came to be any time? The first men gave no thought to time. The morning and the evening to them did not make a day. Man lived ages upon the earth before he recognized the necessity for taking note of time The early men had no yesterdays nagging them-they knew nothing of tomorrow. They first made note of time by moons, and then by sun diaIs, and then by calendars, and then by hour glasses and water clocks, then by clocks run by weights, then by springs; then followed the invention of watches and spring clocks, some of which now only have to be wound once year
 The timepiece is something modern. There are people living who can re- member the hour glass with it's run ming sand which marked the time for the minister and others in public sta tions. It is only modern man who takes time by the forelock-he had no forelock for the men of past ages.
 When man invented time, he made q greater stride than he did when he invented letters, for after that he was able to discover how fast water wears rock and deposits sediment, and could estimate from the height of wa ter worn cliffs and the depth of mud how long rivers had been running in their course and valleys had been in filling up with mud, to get at the age of the earth: and then by time he

A Visit to erandma,s Farm.

Dear Uncle Jed: I want to write and tell you how l spent my vacation last summer. Papa and my sister and took the 10 minutes past 10 train at union station for Hartford. We Had to change cars at Willimantic. We arrived at Hartford at about 12 o'clock and then took the car for Glastonbury.
 When we arrived at Glastonbury my uncle met us with the carriage, and we drove out in the country to my grand mothers farm. My sister and I had a lovely time. We used to feed the chickens and give them water
 Sometimes we went to the field to watch my uncle hoe tobacco and watch him set out new plants to take the place of those that died. The tobacco plants look very pretty when they are in bloom. The leaves are very large and the blossoms are pink.
 When the plants are ready to cut my uncle cuts them down with a tobacco hatchet and puts thenb in the tobacco shed until he is ready to prepare them for sale.
 My sister and l used to go to the meadow and watch papa load the hay on to the wagon. When it was loaded on papa. used to lift us up on the hay and we all rode back to the barn.
 We stayed there two weeks and had a pleasant visit.

Lost in the Moods.

There was once a little girl named Jane She was an only child. three years old. Her parents were very fond of her.
 One day her mother went out and left Jane alone with the maid The maid did not pay much attention to her. so Jane finally opened the gate and went out. After walking about a quarter of mile she came to a field and stopped to pick some daisies. Af- ter she picked some she walked until she came to a wood. Thinking she would find her way home she walked until she came to the deepest part of the woods
 Meanwhile her mother came and asked her where Jane was and she said Jane was playing with her toys Then she went to see if she was there and she wasn't. So her father was called and when he came to the woods and called for Jane and she answered and she did not go away from home again.
