made tracks for the woods. Mrs.

POLICE TO EXERCISE:
TO HAVE A GYMNASIUM.
Chief of Police Darnell is no satis
lied with having bis men make :
good appearance. He wants them to
e and feel as good as they look, and
to that end he proposes to found
gymnasium with a striking bag. box
ing gloves, etc. All this will take
the place of the friendly names of
cinch that were so p pular unic the
last administration, and no doubt
friends will be just as welcome to
take a hand in the game under twe
new order of things as thet were In
the past.
MAYOR HEINZ ISSUES
NEW ORDER TO SALOONS
Mayor Fred Heinz, of Davenport.
has issued an order that has caussd a
commotion amonir the denizens of
bucktown." It will be remembered
that when he assumed the oflic of
mayor he declarod war on tbo wine
rooms, itis instructions were ooeyea
for a time, but gradually he old con
ditions began to return. So the mayor
has put bis loot dowa seam, now
be says women will have to keep out
of the saloons and the live-easy boys
will have to hunt new fields.
A Happy Foot.
The custom of wishing a friend "a
happy foot" Is to be found In all parts
of Europe, and It goes to show bow
much superstition is connected with
our footgear. It Is to be assumed that
the well fitting boot or shoe, which en
"I
allies a person to walk In comfort.
symbolical of happiness.
The accidental placing of the right
shoe on the left foot, putting a sboo on
awry or the breaking of a lace Is a
bad sign from tho popular point of
view. To tic the shoe of another Indi
vidual Is Indicative of humility and
lowly position, yet the Chinese wor
ship the shoes of an upright judge.
There is a curious superstition In
some parts of England which advises
that when the youngest daughter mar
ries befre her bisters the latter should
dance at her wedding without shoes In
order to insure husbands for them
selves. On St Valentine's eve, accord
ing to a similar custom, girls should
bang their shoes outside the window If
they wish to secure lovers.
Some actresses carefully preserve the
boots they wore when they scored their
first success and wear them ou all Im
portant occasions.

Tate should be given credit for tbe
work be is doing behind the bat. In
the first place his position is not
catcher. He is a fielder, and a fast
one at that. He is helping, out in a
pinch. He is a hard worker. If the
others on the team will do as well as
be does tbe people will be ratislied.
If Cedar Rapids had managed to
