ing the remark that Mrs. Hayes,
Mrs. Garfield and Miss Cleveland
were all school teachers" The same
may be said of several presidents, any
number of senators, and of more than
half of the supreme judges, There is
something acquired in the life of the
school teacher which fits men and

as he would be late on arriving at his
work. While he stood weighing the
chances pro and con, bruin uttered a
howl and dashed toward at lively
rate. That settled it. Parker took to
his heels and made bee>line for his
residence. In his haste 10 get away
he stumbled and fell, and as be re-

at the now Infatuated animal, which
was then not far enough aWav for
comfort Every time Parker turned
around he imagined that the bear was
gaining on him. Large beads of sweat
gathered on his forehead, and be
commenced to hope against hope. As
he was nearing the edge OF the woods
he began to think whether it would
not be better to climb one OF the high
trees which skirted the highway and
wait for deliverance until some one
passed along. This he decided to do
and accordingly jumped over the wall
and was soon far upa friendly hickory
tree. When the bear arrived opposite
the tree it raised itself on its hind legs
and began TO howl. Parker also be.
gan to shout in hopes OF attracting
some ones attention, and between him
and the bear they made more noise
than was ever heard in that section
since Bran't savage warriors passed

Parker knew he vas secure for the

and continued to shout at the top Of
his voice. Bruin contented himself
by paving the earth and closely cycling

effect of attracting the attention of
another and mach larger bear, which
emerged from the woods q distance

was up, but instead the newcomer
proved his deliverer. 1t gave howl

luctantly followed suit, occasionally
looking back to see if there was any
movement on Parker's part

THD scheme to annex the Sand

PALMISTRY.
Rules by Which 10 Read tho Charac-
ter In the Hand.

Small hands reveal themselves by
magnitude, grace, generalities. The
pyramid and mCnohtbs of Egypt and
the temples of India were planned
and superintendent by people cele-
brated as having the smallest and
most delicate hands in the world.
The model Greek hand, as shown III
the ideal statues, is large, with mod
erately thick palm and prominent
thumb.
The medium sized hand, in fair
proportion with the body, is tue hand
that will do or delegate the doing best.
James B. Eads, who originated the
great tubular steel bridge over the
Mississippi at st. Louis, and planned
the jetties, has very small hands
Henry Flad, who worked out the
details of construction and calculated
the details of strain and tension, has
large, efficient hands.
Abraham Lincoln, who gave per.
sonal attention to matters usually
trusted to subordinates, had very large
hands.
Jay Gould, who forms immense
plans, but does all his work through
subordinateS, has small, short hands.
The hard hand indicates one who
easily puts forth continued action. en-
dures in physical effort and delights
in energetic activity.
The elastic or sinewy hand loves
rapid, sklllfal activity. 1t is charac.
terized by energy rather than endur-
ance.
Soft hanGs belong to one who la.
bors with fatigue and WEAKNESS.
In all occult matters the thumb
plays a prominent part. Ii indicates
the intelligent will In general, a
large thumb shows decision of char
acter, perslstency of purpose, there
fore is apt to belong TO one likely to
succeed. A small thumb shows one
who is vacillating and uncertain in
his aims, intermittent and changeable
in his efforts.
Short fingers indicate one who sees
in general, examines only the mass.
comprehends the tout ensemble.
Long fingers indicate one who sees
the parts, appreciates the details and
understands the minutiR
Slightly tapering fingers indicate
one growing in the direction of ideal
ity.
Fingers lying closely together, so
that no light is seen between them,
especially if the finge IS are irregular,
suggest avariee, secrecy and general
selfisbness.
Famous instrumental musicians,
celebrated marksmen, skilled gym
nasts and artisans are apt to have
square finger ends. Pointed 6nger
ends attest person fanciful, cratic,
romantic, impractical, cnangeable,
sometimes unreliable always pc.
euliar.
Long nails indicate a peacemaker,
one who will bear much for the sake
of quiet, and is steadfast in friend
ship.
Short nails belong to one who viii
assert his rights,
Large white half meons at the base
of the nails announce a frank, open
hearted person, who naturally speaks
his thoughts and tells his plans and
purposes. He may keep a secret but
it requires an effort. The naturally
secretive person is not apt to have any
sign of half moons.
Pale spots on the nails, especially
near the base, indicate disease of the
nerves and an inclination to melan-
choly.

TuERE IS an lee deposlt at the moutI

THERE is an ice deposit at the mouth
of the Sandy river, in Oregon, which
is twenty feet high, half mile long,
and extending back an unknown dis
lance 1t was formed by high water
from the Columbia driving it into the
Sandy, and, having since been Gov
cred with Sand to the depth of two to
five feet, the sun has little effect upon
the frigid mass, and it will probably
remain all summer.

NEW YORK, July 2.-The case of

be confined indefinitely. Mr.. Dudley
said she was satisfied, and undoubt-
edly needed rest and seclusion. She
will probably be transferred 70 her

In Memoriam.

Entered into rest, at Alpena, Thursday,
November Goth, 1885, Marian Darlington,
beloved wife Of John T., Bostwick, of Al
pena, in the 10th year Of her age.
Death can never be other than sud-
den and startling, no matter what the
preparation for and the warning of
the sad event; and yet its bitterness to
the survivors may be greatly allie
waited by the circumstances surround
ing it. When one is called away as
was Mrs. Bostwick, after blameless
life, and after months of intense ply
steal suffering-in calm reliance upon
the love of her saviour, those who
are left to mourn can rejoice amidst
their tears as they think of the rest
and happiness she now enjoys. She
was a true daughter of the church,
and her daily life was an exemplifi-
cation of its blessed influences. Her
faith was living, earnest and active /;
and so long as she was physically able
her gentle spirit and her willing and
helpful hands were at the Masters
service. In charitable, benevolent
and social duties and enterprises Of
the church and society, she was a
quiet but efficient worker, unselfsh
and given to hospitality. She ever
shrank, however, from publicity, and
one could readily see that she found
her true happiness in her home and
in the affections of her husband and
child to whom she was ever the fond
wife and tender mother, sympathetic
alike in joy and sorrow. Through
out her long and distressing illness
she never complained, never lost
sight of faith, was ever hopeful and
CHEEKY. In regard to the comfort
and pleasure of others, even when
suffering acutely, she was always
thoughtful and considerate, and she
tried in every way possible to inspire
hope as to her physical condition in the
hearts of those she so tenderly loved.
The loving wife, the devoted mother,
the affectionate daughter. the Chris
tan friend, has gone; has entered
into the rest of Paradise but the in
fuence of her pure life remains and
will do its work. BLESSED are the
dead who die in the Lord, even so
saith the spirit, for they rest from
their labors and their works do fol-
low them" N.
Mrs. Bostwick was born in Lexing-
ton, Michigan, April 9th, 1916;
was married to John T. Bostwick in
May, 1866, and came to Alpena the
same year. She has thus been a resi-
dent of Alpena 10 years. The funer-
al took place Sunday last-the SER
vices being held at the residence of
the deceased. The funeral was largely
attended. Rev. j. A. Mock officiated.

The last day of November was one

The last day of November was one
of the finest days for some months
past, as regards weather. The tenn
perature was mild what little snow
had fallen a few days before had
gone; overcoats were left at home |;
Second street was crowded with citi-
zcns and teams. During the day, the
business firms on that street, from
Water street to Chisholm street, turn
ed out in full force, armed with SHOW
els and brooms, and gave the cedar
pavement good cleaning The mud
that had collected in about two weeks,
covered the street to the depth of
half an inch. The business men left
the dirt piled up in heaps, and then
the city teams hauled it away. The
mud taken from the pavement will
make rich dressing for city lots, as it
is about half manure.
