Rose Beads-For one long string
use 21z quarts fresh rose petals, one
half teaspoon tincture of iron and one
half teaspoon liquid glue or mucilage.
Grind the leaves through meat chopper
till very fine. Mix all well together,
then roll in marbles the size of a
pea. Lay them on a soft cushion for
three hours, then put large pin
through center and stick pin in box
cover until dry The rose dough has
to be very soft to roll well. If you can
not finish the same day, moisten 1t,
wrap it in cloth and keep in cool
place, will keep for a week that way.
If you want larger beads, remember
that they shrink almost half after they
are dry. OF course, the larger the
beads you make of this quantity the
shorter the string.
To make Rose Beads of Dried Rose
Leaves-Soak dried leaves one hour.
grind through peanut blade of food
chopper three times; leave over night
in an iron plate; grind twice the sec
ond day and twice the third. The sec
ond day, when through grinding, add,
to the batch a half teaspoonful of cop
peras crystals dissolved in water and
work in well. This helps to get the
jet black color. To roll the beads, oil
the hands with olive oil, then stick
the beads on pins and the pins on
pillow and leave over one day to dry.
Oil them once while dry and while
still on the pins, and once after string

Mrs. Robin good-naturedly assented,
ard so the nest was built and the eggs
were laid-hve as beautifully colored
eggs as ever Law IN a robins nest. All
went well until one storny night IN
June the lightning flashed and the rain
poured down in torrents. Worse stili
the wind blew a furious gale. The
other trees in the yard bent and twist
ed under the force of the wind. but the
old apple tree had not the strength of
its Younger days, and instead OF bend

wind shook II. II cracked brittily and
crashed to the ground.
Something awful IS happeningi y
shrieked Mrs. Robin, as the tree gave
way before the storm
Don't be frightened" declared Mr..
Robin, you sit still and I'll take care
of you" And he futtered about vainly
trying to look calm and peaceful when
really he was just as frightened as
Mrs. Robin.
Down in one awful crash the tree
fell. sianting across the yard at a most
pitiful angie. When the morning sun
looked down upon the orchard it saw
branches of trees twisted and broken.

TO SHIP FREIGHT
0NL0NCER ROUTE.
Chicago Man Says Merchandise
Will Go to Illinois River and
Thence to st. Louis.

]. H. Ellis, vice-president of the Chi
cago, st. Louis and Gulf Transports
ton company, addressed about 30 men
representatives of commercial inter
ests of Rock Island, Moline and Dav-
export at the Commercial club at Dav-
export last night.
He explained the plans OF the COM
ipany in establishing a regular weekly
freight service between the tri-cities,
and discussed the matter for about an
hour.
He stated that L.aSalle would be the
distributing point, saying that goods
shipped from Chicago bound for st.
Louis, would leave the Illinois and
Michigan canal at LaSalle and pro-
coed down the Illinois river into the
Mississippi and thence to the Mis-
souri, metropolis. He said freight to be
shipped to the tri-cities from Chicago
would pass through the Hennepin
canal from the Illinois.
A statement he made which may
seem startling to some was that
freight being sent to st. Louis from
the tri-cities would be sent up the
Hennepin canal to the Illinois river
and thence down the river to the Mis-
sissippi and to st. Louis. Although
the distance was greater by far in
shipping the goods this route than d.
rectly down the Mississippi, he alleg-
ed that the channel offered over this
way was the better.
The three barges which were sched-
uled to arrive here yesterday, were
delayed in the canal above Milan, and
according to reports will not get here
for several days.
