Morgan and Rockefeller ANNUAL BIRD WALK TO BE HELD THURSDAY The annual Y. M. C. A. "bird walk" on the island will take place next Thursday morning. The day after j Christmas. B. H. Wilson will conduct j the party aa usual and any young men I cajl on the birds are invited to go along. The party will leave the Y. M. C. A. office In the Safety building at 9 o'clock. This bird walk has become an estab lished fra'ure In tie yearly program of the Y.-M. C. A., this being the fourth annual affair of the sort. I-ast year something more than 20 varieties of bird life were discovered. It is thought tha- this season will give unusually good results as the open weather of the fall has encouraged the birds to stay in this locality later than usual. SPOMUNG NOTES Providence. R. I..

All the fighters thus far mentioned were either lightweights or heavies. Only occasional: have fighters In the other divisions enjoyed such an in pouring of wealth, i Terry McGovera and George Dixon, when they fought for the bantam titla, counted up a house of $45,000. Abe Attell and Jem Driscoll, in 1909, boxed before receipts aggregating several thousands of dol lars. But those cases were exceptions. As a general rule only the lightweights and the heavies pull down the big coin. Since the effort to have the Booster club aid in backing the team an opti mistic view of the situation is taken by the fans. Merle F. Baker, a promi nent real estate man, probably will be chosen to fill the vacancy created yes terday by the resignation of Presi dent John Tumelly. It was said to day that within the next few days money sufficient to support the team through the coming season would be subscribed. New Ycrk, Dec. 21. If Frank Chance Is engaged as manager of the New" York Americans he will manage tha club from the bench. Chance him self is quoted as saying so by a friend here who has received a letter from the former Chicago manager. This re port is a disappointment to New York fans, who had teen figuring on a line up. It is expected that Chance and President Farrell of the Yankees will meet early In January to perfect nego tiations. It is denied that there is any serious hitch in the matter.

When Mr. and Mrs. EuHtend started out to spend the evening in pursuance of an engagement they paused on tlie front steps long enough for Mrs. E. to propound the usual query, "Have you got the key, dear?" "Yes, I guess so," said Mr. E. "Wait a minute. No, I haven't, either. What do you think of that? Must have left It on the dresser." "Well, here's a pretty bow-de-do!" exclaimed Mrs. E. as her consort sav agely but fruitlessly rummaged bis pockets.

"Get a Jimmy," said another. "Get an aeroplane," said a third. Various other expedients, ranging from derricks to dynamite, were sug gested. Finally one neighbor brought a ladder which wouldn't reach the second story windows by six feet. It was suggested that the Ore depart ment be summoned. Rejected. By this time the engagement had to be called off. and the remarks Mrs. E. was making to the female contingent of the assemblage will not here be re corded. As a last resort a locksmith was suggested, and Mr. E. departed In search of one. At the end of an hour he returned with a stolid looking Ger man bearing an armful of tools. "Vlch toor?" he Inquired. "This one." said" Mrs. E.. "and for Coodness sake don't jimmy it nor dy namite it unless you hare to!" "Dot's all rlghd." grunted the work man. Then he extended his hand and tried the knob.

BLIND TO GOOD LUCK. Fable of the Weary Farmer and the Golden Plow. There was once a Benevolent Fairy who was accustomed to doing Good Deeds In Whimsical Ways. One day she was flying across the country to attend a meeting of the A. O. B. F. when she noticed a Farmer laboring In the Fields. His horse was Attenuated and Deceplt. and bis plow was Heavy and Old Fashioned. Often he would panse and wipe the sweat from bis brow. Plainly he was having a Ha'd Time. Tha Benevolent Fairy watched iiim a moment and obserre'd his najrgard Look and his general air of Misery. Suddenly an Idea came to her to make this man Rich, so that he. would no longer have to delve and struggle to eke out a Bare Living. So she swooped down and touched the plow with her wandshe was. of course. In visibleand Instantly it waa changed to Solid Gold. Then with an amused but kindly backward glance the Benev olent Fairy went on her way. - A year later, remembering the oc-rnn-ent-e, 6he flew over o see how the Fnrmer was enjoying his Good For tune. She found him In the Fields, plowing laboriously, and If anything be and his surroundings looked Mean er and More Miserable than they bad before. Much surprised, the Fairy flew closer, just in time to hear him murmur: "I wish this ding-busted plow warn't so heavy!" The Benevolent Fairy eyed him Pity ingly; then shis once more touched the plow with her wand, and It again be came a thing of wood and iron. Then she flew away, and the Farmer resum ed his T?!1.

Thousands who suifer from back ache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after anotner, finding only temporary benefit. This is discour aging, but there is one kidney medi cine that has earned a reputation for lasting results and there is plenty of proof of its merit right here in Rock Island. Here is the testimony of one who Uf-ed Doan's Kidney Pills years ago. and now makes his testimony even stronger. Mrs. M. Felix, 930 Fifth avenue, Rock Island, 111., says: "Doan's Kid ney Pills act just as advertised and I am glad to confirm the public state ment a member of my family gave In their praise in 1909. I had nervous nnd dizzy spells and my back ached. Doan's Kidney Pills which I got at tho Harper House pharmacy, gave me prompt and permanent relief.
