Another Pioneer Gone to Re.t.

VIM. Sloan of Keller, died on Friday
June 9th, 1852. He, with his friends, came
from Ireland 40 years ago, and settled in
this county When old enough to start fol
himself, he possessed but fifty cents, with
which he bought an AK, and, after a few
years of self-denial, and persevering labor, be-
came owner of good farm. In 1858 he
was married to Miss Julia A. Frost, of New
York, who proved devoted wife, and faith
fully ministered to his comfort during his
sickness. During his last hours he was up
held by the christians faith, and almost his
last words were, 81 am going home.' He
was buried on Sunday, the funeral being one
of the largest ever seen in Keller.

The people of Iowa have recently voted on
the question of inserting a prohibitory
amendment in the constitution of that State,
and the result shows an overwhelming ma
iority in favor of the amendment. 1t is true
that when Michigan had prohibitory law on
its statute books, the result was that with
the exception of here and there an occasional
effort to enforce it, which WAS of short dura-
ton, the sale of ardent spirits was unre-
strained by the law, and that by vote of
the people in 1875, the no-license clause was
stricken out of our constitution.
1t is equally true that there has since
grown up in this State a strong public senti-
ment in favor of constitutional prohibition,
and bitter fight was had in the last Legisla-
ture over the question of submitting an
amendment of this character to a vote of the
people, the proposition being defeated only
by small majority. While we very much
doubt that all the favorable results which its
friends claim, would flow from the adoption
of such an amendment, and while we incline
to the opinion that the present tax law with
some amendments simplifying its workings
and relieving it of its present vagueness and
ambiguity, would be better enforced and
have a more salutary effect than absolute
prohibition, still we believe that if the ma
jority of the people desire prohibitory
amendment, they ought to have it, and that
TO decide the question, it is the duty of the
Legislature at the earliest opportunity to
submit this matter to vote of the people.
We, therefore, hope that the next Legisla-
ture will view the subject in a different light
from the last, and prepare and submit such
an amendment as soon as practicable and let
the majority rule, as under our Republican
government they should do.

Tho County Grange.

The special session of the County Grange
held Mt Keeler WAS well represented, notwith-
standing the hurrying times and backward
season. At 1890 the grange was opened at
the hall, and closed session held. After
dinner short closed session, which at two
o'clock adjourned TO the church for the after
neon open session. A goodly number were
present. A. +. Gregory welcomed the Grange
and those outside the order in short speech.
Geo. Breck responded as briefly. Miss Hat
tie Charles of Bangor, read an essay review
ing "the advantages of the sexes, intellect
ually and physically" thought education
endurance and power; claimed woman has
much TO hinder her intellectual Development;
maternal and domestic duties claim her time
and talent, and deprive her of equal advan-
tages with man, who becomes her superior.
Her impression was that the female mind is
not inferior because of sex. Mrs. Skies,
on account of sex: the female is of finer
mould all through the universe. from the
vegetable up to humanity was not in favor
of woman assuming the responsibility of the
ballot considers her unfit TO grapple with
the sterneI duties of lif, would put men on
their dignity, and have them, in their man
hood, arouse and save themselves from the
crushing weight of ntemperance thought
il monstrous for a wife to live with and
have children by drunken husband: would
have wives stand by this principle with
Spartan courage, and say no more children
till our husbands prove their manhood by
svber, upright lives, and refuse longer to be
accomplices in furnishing victims for crime
and vagrancy. Mrs. Keith was in favor of
women having the same privileges as men
even the ballot; referred to the Spartan
mothers, how well they were treated by their
husbands and what sons and daughters they
produced. Mrs. Burt, of Keller, read an
original poem on " woman's Work." thought
woman's mission was TO understand the laws
that govern her being: become good, healthy
mothers and watch over their offspring from
the cradle to the grave, thought woman's
life at best, full of cares and perplexities,
Thought the ballot might IN her hands, settle
the temperance question. The poem was
rood, having vein of humor sparkling in
and out among the more solid truths. Mrs.
r. is n writer of no mean ability. DIR. Harri-
son complimented both essays, but was not

subjects than q woman, and that women
knew more on other themes than men. A
learned man does not select learned woman
for wife, but almost invariably his opposite
if he is quiet man he selects a talker and
ricc rersa. Mr.. Hayden presented the feast
bility of farmers keeping thoroughbred stock
thought small farmers might succeed better
than those who had large herds--was in
favor of an association for stock breeding.
Captain Hendryx thought too much atten-
ton was given to improvement of stock and
not enough to improvement of the human
species thought men and women were of
more value than cattle. DIR. Harrison thought
the value of thoroughbred stock depended
on the use you had for stock; didn't give
anything definite in regard to farmers rails
ing thoroughbreds. Mr.. Lee said only those
could succeed who were adapted to the bust
ness; thought sometimes large prices were
paid for pedigree, the animal being compara-
lively worthless. David Woodman, in a
short speech, presented the subject, "Is
money taxable?" Taking Webster's defini-
ton of what constitutes money, he claimed
all currency, money and taxable, giving his
authority. DIR. Harrison took the negative,
claimed only specie as money, and taxable at
its bullion value, giving his authority; This
subject was the means of awaking some of
the stupid ones. For a few minutes eyes
blazed and tongues ached for a word in, but
time was pressing. People are going to
think on this subject, and the grange is do
ing good work in making people think.
The grange closed tremendously, and we all
felt better for having had the privilege of
attending.

The Paw Paw correspondent of the Ban
gor Reflector went to the County House q
few days since, not as permanent boarder
however. He reports his visit as follows:
"Our visit was at rather an unreasonable
hour (6 a. M and, unlike the Board of Super
visors who usually notify such institutions
of their intended visit that everything may
be in apple pie order, and ample preparations
made for good dinner, our intentions were
unknown, and our appearance unheralded,
and, hence, our opportunity to see the house as
it is, was of the best, and we are pleased to
record that we found everything in first class
order, which spoke well to our minds of the
fitness of Mr.. Cash and his wife for the posi-
ton they occupy. Although our visit was
upon the morning of the day when the gen
eral weekly renovating is done, we found the
rooms and beds neat and clean, and the in
mates contented and well pleased with the
comforts of life furnished them by the county,
and especially with the management of Mr..
and Mrs. Cash. When they took possession
on the first of April there were forty inmates,
against thirty at the present. OF these, nine
or ten are over seventy years of age, two or
three having passed their four-score years.
There is but one in the insane department,
Thos. Doughty, and he has been there many
years, and with no hopes of his release until
death, and as he is in reasonably good health,
and not over so years of age, there may be
many years for him yet. There are times
when he is allowed to be out, but consider
able of the time it is found necessary to keep
him in close confinement. With the excep-
ton of two perfectly idiotic children, six and
sixteen years old, the Barton children, there
IL only one child, boy of ten or twelve years.
in the institution. The number of males
generally outnumber the females, for the
reason that they find it easier to find situa-
tons for the women than the men. But
very little labor is got from the inmates of
the house as a rule, with the exception of
Uncle David Byrns who makes himself quite
useful at the shoe bench, doing some work
even for the neighbors. The farm, which
consists of about 10 acres, is in fine condi-
ton, if we may except the Canada thistles,
and the crops promise good yield. There
is now growing upon the farm IL acres of
wheat, 80 of corn, 30 of hay, II of oats, of
beans, of potatoes. The balance of the
farm is used for pasturage and timber. They
have one farm hand hired by the year and
another at present for few months. while
within doors the work is done by the matron
and three assistants. 1t takes over 200 cords
of stove wood and about $50 bushels of
wheat to carry them through the yesr. They
use the milk and butter from eight COWS, be-
sides they have coffee or tea as they NAV
prefer, three times day. The farm is well
stocked with young cattle, hogs and sheep.
The prospects for fruit the present season
will not be beyond the demands of the
place."

After protracted trial, the jury in the
Peoples case at Detroit, rendered the same
verdict as did the New Haven jury in the
Malley case, not guilty. Notwithstanding
this verdict there are many people who will
believe he is guilty of the murder of Martha
Whitla, with which he was charged and for
which he was tried. Nothing short of the
arrest and conviction of the real criminal
will convince them to the contrary.

A YEAT WITHOUT A S~UsfMER.-In the
year 1916 there was a sharp frost every
month. 1t was known as the year with
out a ummer. The farmers used to refer
to it as eighteen hundred mt starve to
DEATH In May ice formed half an inch
thick, buds and flowers were frozen and
corn killed. Frost, ice and snow were COM
mon in June. Almost every green thing
was killed, and the fruit was nearly all de-
stroyed. Snow fell to the depth of three
inches in New York and Massachusetts.
July was accompanied with frost and ice.
On the fifth, ice was formed of the thick
hess of window glass in New York, New
England and Pennsylvania, and corn was
nearly all destroyed in certain sections.
In August ice formed half an inch thick.
A cold northern wind prevailed nearly all
summer. Corn was so frozen hat a great
deal was cut down and dried for fodder.
Very little ripened in New England, and
scarcely any even in the Middle States.
Farmers were Obliged to pay 81 or IS a
bushel for corn of 1915, for seed for the
next springs planting.

Lifc's Opportunities.

Life is, in a great degree, what we make
1t. We are not to sit passively awaiting
the good time; but we are to strive with
n mighty strength of purpose to make of
ourselves examples of goodness, wisdom,
integrity and high moral courage, so that
when the end shall come we shall feel we
have not lived in vain. And how shall we
succeed if we heedlessly pass by lifeis
precious opportunities? We would not
enforce upon our readers the necessity of
grasping great opportunities alone-far
from it; for, do not the little drops of
water make the broad restless ocean? And
where the desert but for the little grains

ties for doing good, little lessons that may
at present seem so unimportant, help ma
terially to lay the foundation for n great
and useful life.
Our faculties for exercising an influence
over others are so many and great hat it
Is difficult to converse together without
exerting n mutual influence; and every
man who critically examines his intellect
ual and moral state will observe that how
ever short his interview with another per
son may be it has had IN effect upon him.
And this influence is usually exerted when
we think little about it; but we have prob
ably left impressions upon some minds
which will never be erased. And this in.

A single instance of advice, reproof, eau

Muscular and Nerve Exhaustion.

A reader has asked us to give him an ex-
PLANTATION of the nature of muscular and
nervous exhaustion, which We do with pleas
ure, so far as is at present known. There
takes place during our active hours, when
the muscular and nervous tissues are being
exercised, chemical changes in the proto-
plasm of which they are constructed int in
which they are bathed. These changes use
up or expand this substance ; but so long as
the tissues are in health the changed mat
ter is pushed on and excreted, andnew mat
ter from the blood comes up and is deposited
in its place. The more abundantly the
blood currents flow to the muscles and
nerves, the more quickly are the products
of decomposition removed and new matter
supplied. IL, however, a muscle or nerve Is
kept at a point of high tension for a long
while without rest, the decomposed matter
formed by exercise is not completely re-
moved and new palladium Is not supplied,
so WEAKNESS and exhaustion take the place
of vigor and health. But when proper rest
Is taken, recovery occurs, and power of
work Is restored. We might continue to
labor without exhaustion forever, If we
could renew the waste Of work and supply
new matter indemnity, but this Is impos-
slble, in this world at least
