The advertising of children's books
does not seem TO have advanced in in
genuity since the time of old John

JUDGE SHOWS LENIENCE
TOWARD HENRY VROMAN

Henry Woman, 1926 Railroad ave
nue.. charged by Arthur Houvenaghel
with attacking him and injuring him
with a knife, was arraigned in police
court this morning before Justice
Fred Entrikin, but owing to the fact
that the defendant has a wife and
children who need his help, the judge
showed leniency. A fine of s25 and
costs was assessed but suspended
when the judge learned the facts in
the case. Norman paid the costs and
promised to meet Houvenaghel's 6oc
tor bill. The wives ofthe two men ac-
cording to the evidence this morning,
were the cause of the trouble.

HOUSEHOLDER INCENSED
OVER THIEVlNG VANOALS

A number of Moline householders
are incensed over the work of thiev-
ing vandals who within the past cou-
pie of days maliciously destroyed and
stole bulbs and flowers from private
gardens in this city. City beautiful
campaign work is progressing favor
ably but much Inconvenience has
been caused by the vandals' work by
some who expected to win prizes. Most
of the complaints come from the vicin-
ity of Sixth avenue where tulips and
early flowers and bulbs have Been
pulled up by the roots.

Rich lapland Mine.

The richest, and probably the larg'
est, iron ore mine in the world is To-
Gated at Kirma, Lapland, in latitude
63h degrees north, which is about the
same as the northernmost boundary
of Alaska. The climate Is somewhat
milder than in Alaska and these mines
are worked the year round. About l..
600 men are employed, and the equip.
ment Is all OF the most modern ma.
chinery obtainable. Machine tools for
the repair shop, air compressors and
rock drills, and several Of the largest
steam and electric shovels are Of
American make The plant is at pres
ent operated by steam power, the coal
supply coming rom England and
Spitzbergen, but the efectriflcation Of
the mines is In progress. and this
power will be used exclusively as
soon as the new power plant OF the
state of Sweden. now under construc-
ton at Porjus Falls. is completed. The
transmission line is completed. and 1t
is expected that the power station will
be ready to deliver current early in
1914. One hundred and fifty thousand
horsepower will be the capacity Of this
station, and It VIII be transmitted over
a distance Of $50 miles.-Dundee Ad.

not. to pay Mrs. slumpkins. insomuch

disappeared
A little later another rap ON the

Scribbler to look up. 1t was Mrs.
