down she said
"Riglht beyond that fence is the
whest field where your family are.
Rum to your mother. Goodby''
Little Dicky Chick thanked her,
ard very much ashamed, crept thru
the fence.
The whole family were just in
side, and enc of his broahers, see
ing his wet feathers, said teasing
ly: "Howts swimming?"
Butt Dfcky Chick only ran to his
mother, and wiggled his wet lit
tie body into her warm feathers,
with just his feet peeping out. He
had LEANED THAT he was a walking
chicken and not swimming duck,
and he never forgot the lesson.

new SALOON FOR
EAST END ASKED
William G. Mueller OF Moline Buys
Place In Rock Island and Seeks
Transfer Of License.
OTHER REQUESTS ARE EXPECTED
commissioners Anticipate That There
viii Be More Petitions OF Same
Nature Submitted.

Rock Island municipal authorities
believe today that there will be sew
eral attempts made to transfer saloon
licenses to locations in the east end
before the new permits are issued
May l.
Opinion of the officials is based on
the receipt of the first petition asking
for transfer. William c. Mueller,
Moline, is seeking to open a saloon at
4532 Sixth avenue. The petition comes
from Robert Froeter, Otto Adams and
r. Il. Maihak, owners Of majority of
the frontage, 300 feet on each side of
the place.
1t is understood Mr., Mueller has
purchased a saloon in the west end Of
Rock Island and hopes to transfer the
license to the east end, in view of the
fact that Moline will join the dry col
umn on May 4. While the ordinances
limit the number of saloons to SO, by
purchasing business in the lower
end and securing a waiver of all rights
from the owner of the building, there
is nothing in the ordinances to pre-
vent Mr.. Mueller transferring the Ii
cense. The commission has the power
to grant or reject the petition, in &C
cordance with its police powers. AS
the request was not brought before the
council, no definite statement as to
the disposition of the petition could
be gained, but it is understood that the
commission will not interfere with
Mr.. Mueller's plans Mr. Mueller is
head of John H. Mueller & Son, whole
sale liquor dealers, 1902 Fourth

Look for Changes.
1t is expected that when the COM
mission acts on the new saloon Ii
censes week from Monday there will
be numerous changes in the list. Sew
eral important deals for saloon prop
erty are pending at present, in which
Moline and Davenport men are inter-
ested as prospective purchasers.
