Pierre Macheret.

, A Winnipeg correspondent tells
story of daring and self-sacrifice il
which Pierre Macheret, a hunter
figures as the hero. Early in Septem-
Der Pierre started northward for tn,
purpose Of carrying package to :
trader on one Of the lakes, having com
I pleted which task he intended to hunt
until the close of the present season.
AT the upper end Of Lake Winnipeg
he fell in with two Indians and a half
breed, who were hunting in company.
Pierre was SO loose-tongued as to tell
the half-breed the object of his journey.
The latter suspected that the contents
of the package were valuable, and with
the assistance of the Indians he robbed
the messenger, leaving him unconscious
in the trail. When Pierre regained his
senses he started in pursuit Of the rob-
bers. AS he had lost his rifle he could
procure no other food than berries and
roots.
He kept the trail faithfully, however,
and Oh the second day aftert the outrage
found the half-5rced nearly dead in
some grass on the margin of pond.
Pierre learled from him that the Indi-
ans Lad knocked him down and stabbed
him in the throat. They had Jumped |
at the conclusion that the package con-
tanned bank notes and had plotted to
rob the robber. a few yards away

Wounded robber to his back and bore

this city who knew the strangled, in

age Jennings made his debut as grand
larcenist, by stealing a horse from
teanster who kindly permitted him to
ride it. For some other crime he was
sent to the Reform School at Marys-

stitution in such a degree that it was
deemed advisable to send him adrift.
Before he reached his fifteenth year he
had become familiar with the interior
OF any number Of .jails for various well !

Tender Advice

The "Year Without a Summer"

An exchange says: We continue to
receive occasional inquiries concerning
the "year in which there was no sum-
mer-" Some persons appear to have a
wrong idea as to the time. 1t was the
year 1916. 1t has been called the "year
without summer" for there was sharp
frost in every month. There are old
farmers in Connecticut who remember
it well. 1t was known as the "year with
out summer" The farmers used to
refer to it as eighteen hundred and
starye to death" January was mild, as
was also February, with the exception
of few days. The greater yart of
March was cold and boisterous. April
opened warm, but it grew colder as it
advanced, ending with snow and ice and
winter cold. In May Ice formed half an
inch thick, buds and flowers were fro
zen and corn killed. Frost, ice and snow
were common in June. Almost every
green thing was killed, and the fruit
was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to
the depth of three inches in New York
and Massachusetts, and ten inches in
Maine. July was accompanied with
frost and ice. On the 5th ice was form
ed of the thickness of window glass in
New York, New England and Pennsyl-
vania, and corn was nearly all destroyed
in certain sections. In August ice
formed half an inch thick. A cold
northern wind prevailed nearly all sum-
mer.
Corn was so frozen that great deal
was cut down and dried for fodder.
Very little ripened in New England,
even in Connecticut, and scarcely any in
the Middle States. Farmars were oblig-
ed to pay from 81 to $5 bushel for
corn of 1915, for seed for the next
springs planting. The first two weeks
of September were mild, the rest of the
month was cold, with frost, and ice
formed quarter of an inch thick. Oc-
tober was more than usually cold and
clustering, with snow enough for good
sleighing. December was quite mild
and comfortable.

encouraged lawlessness and crime until
society seemen to be upon the verge of
dissolution. The repeal of the bloody
code, and the enactment of laws grading
punishment according to the magnitude
of the offense restored order, and enabled
the courts to administer justice, restrain
the vicious, and punish crime.
And, then, the Peoples Temperance
Reformers" violently oppose the propo-
sition to regulate and restrain the traf-
fic, and declare that nothing short of alb
solute prohibition will answer the pur-
pose and the regular Prohibirionists in
convention assembled "ratify the ticket
nominated at Loveland and placed upon
that platford. The Prohibitionists, too,
say that the men who talk of "regulat-
ing" the traffic are enemies of temper
ance and allies of the whisky power. Do
these gentlemen understand the meaning
of words?' Do they mean what they say
when they put themselves on paper in
their platform literature? For exam-
pie. the first plank in the platform adopt
ed on Thursday declares in favor Of
l.. The prohibition in the State and
National Constitution and laws Of the
liquor crime, being the manufacture, inn
portatioH, sale and supply of intoxicat-
ing liquors for use as d beverage. 1es
1t will be noticed that this central
doctrine of the Prohibitionists does not
teach that the 'manufacture, importa-
tion and sale of Intoxicating liquors. is
a crime, per Sc. 1t is criminal only when
the liquor made, imported or sold is to
be "used as a beverage" That is a clear
admission that intoxicating liquor has
its uses, that total prohibition is imprac-
ticable, and if practicable wrong. What
is that but regulating, restraining and
controlling the traffic? The difference
between the license men, the liquor tax
men and the Prohibitionists is, therefore,
difference in degree, not in kind. But
the Prohibition Regulators" will not
join with the license or tax Regulators"
because, forsooth. large number of liq-
nor dealers, 1t is said, are in favor of a
license or tax. They forget or do not
take cognizance of the fact that many
other dealers prefer the severest prohi-
bition law that can be conceived of to a
law regulating, restraining and control
ling" the traffic by imposing tax or re-
quiring a license, for the reason that ex-
perience shows that prohibition law
cannot be enforced, whereas tax or Ii
cense law can be, and will be, enforced.
We undertake to say that large
majority of the voters of Ohio, of all po-
litical parties, are practical temperance
men, and still larger majority is IN IA

ONE of the most efficient officers the
government has had abroad is Mr.. Az
fred E. Lee, who served four years as
Consul at Frankfort-On- the-Main. He
was appointed to fill vacancy caused
by death. He found the Office In a de-
plorable condition and put it into a state
of order and efficiency. He acquired
the languages, familiarized himself with
the country, and established pleasant So
cial relations with the people, and rank
ed high at the State Departures. This
efficient and useful officer was.superse-
ded without cause and without notice,
merely, as we are bound to believe, to
make room for another. We have al
ready spoken in deservedly high terms
of his successor. Mr.. Vogeler. He will
undoubtedly fill the office satisfactorily
but there were undoubtedly many places
not well filled to which Mr.. Vogeler
might have been appointed. 1t is not to
men, but to principle, that we now refer.
If the talk about civil service reform is
not all bosh, such blunder as that in
the case of Mr.. Lee should not be re-
peated. Gen. Beatty, of Columbus, we
observe, seeks to hold Gov. Foster re-
spoHsible for the change, and uses it to
make political capital; but we have rea-
son to believe Gov. Foster is not respon-
sible for it. If, as we have intimated,
there was cause for removal or reasOna-
bic ground for complaint, or if there
had been vacancy. Mr.. Vogeler's APP
pointment could not be objected to. 1t
was in itself good selection; but if the
Consular service is to be improved, the
way not to do it is to remove men like
Mr.. Lee about as soon as they acquire
thororough knowledge of the business
and prove their efficiency. 1t appears,
too, that the first Mr.. Lee heard of the
change was through the newspapers.
That, to say the least, was discourteous.
1t was certainly mortifying TO a gentle
man who, by reason of his efficientser-
vice i'm office, and his record us soldier.
deserved better treatment. Secretary
Blaine did not like President Hayes,bu
if Mr.. Lee was a friend of the latter, he
was not the less good man and an eff
ficient officer, and the way to serve the
country and party best is certainly not
to demoralize the public service by pro-

a CINCINNATI is discovering that any
such thing as reform through Demo
cratic agencies is delusion and snare.
Last spring certain Republicans of that
city, represented by The Gazette, be-
came dissatisfied with the Republican
Mayor, and offered to support any re-
spectacle man whom the Democrats
might name for the position. The Gaz-
cite proposed man, and the Demo
Gratis nominated him. The Gazette sup
ported him and carried over to him
enough Republican votes to secure his
election. Great reforms were promised
as the result of this movement, but they
don't seem to have been delivered, fol

ANOTHER illustration of the fatality
of the murderous revolver is reported
from Wayne comfy. Willie Poland,
fourteen years old, son of Rev. Mr.. Po-
land, of Smithville, got possession of a
revolver in some way-we hope not with
the consent of his parents-and, in try
ing to scare little boy named Samuel
Baker, nine years old, shot him in the
bowels, inficting wound from which
the little fellow died. Of course this
was not intentional murder, bat the
very fact that it was not only develops
more strongly the radical trouble in this
revolver question. In the name of
common sense, what business has a
fourteen-year old boy-or any other cit
izen, for that matter-fooling with re-

ViOlets, in the leafiest shade
BY their odOrs are betrayed;
Soft winds. over flower fields blown,
BY their fragant breath are known;
Dew, by freshened leaves confessed,
Vets unseen earth's slumbering breast
Rills, from out the bleak hillside,
Swell to rivers, deep and wide.
Rivers, flowing fast and free,
Widen to the boundless sea.
All great things that move the earth
To gentle issues owe their birth;
And soft influence still is best,
Bringing comfort, love and rest.
Sweet domestic love is strong
Leads 70 right and warns from wrong
Kinder whispers mightier prove,
And to loftier action move,
Than the fretful voice Of scorn,
Of contempt and anger born.
