The Hon. d. p. Marley, speaker OF the republi-
can house OF representatives OF Michigan, spoke
In Detroit. Monday night. before the Michigan
Club on what should be the attitude OF the re-
publican party on the temperance question In

makes a greyfous mistake when he fails to see
that one may be the friend Of temperance and q
prohibitiOnist without belonging to the prohibi-
ton party. The speaker said he was fully con.
WINGED that TO drive the saloons out OF politics Il
one OF the great missions yet to be performed by
the republican party. The only question among
republicans Is one OF method He would have the
republican party declare In plain terms that It has
no fellowship with the saloons, and that for the
present ii believes high license and local option
the best and most practical prohibition laws In
conclusion he said: ~ would have the republican

kerosene lantern, well filled and trimmed and with
sufficient OIL necessary for refilling, and you
have the most efficient means for enduring the
cold that can be got. This lantern being lighted
and kept beneath any covering that is used to pro-
tect the limbs Will add materially TO ones comfort
WHO must make winter trips / will add, In con-
nection with, the lantern, that rubber coat Cos
Samer or rubber blanket Is a most desirable gar
ment for long cold ride. II any one will try these
suggestions he or she will never start out again

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The fact that Mack Morgan, the colored man at
springdale, who lost both legs in the war, walks
around on two peg" legs. was the cause OF a
neighbOr having a good fright some time ago.
Morgan's pegs are not fastened on TO the stumps
OF mis- legs very securely. Some time ago he was
riding along the road in a wagon. He met man
named Mandeyille, with whom he had some
trouble. Tue quarrel was renewed and hot words
passed between them. Vaudeville in his anger
went TO Morgan's wagon and, grabbing him by the
ankles, began to pull him out OF the vehicle He
pulled so hard that on came Morgan's "pegs," and
Vaudeville rolled 10 the ground. At sight or the
legless man Vaudeville was frightened that he
ned for his life. Morgan at once began hostinties
by pulling his revolver and firing at Vaudeville
and there was lively time all around.
