Why Not Observe It7

We were requested to publish the
following state law, which by some is
being recognized and by others ignored.
A general recognition of this law would
accomplish the object desired by the
Lawmakers, but where the law is kept
by only few, it works injustice to those
who abide by the statute.
IAN act to prohibit the selling, giving
or furnishing tobacco, in any of its
forms, to minors, and providing pen
atty therefor.
Sec. 1.-The People of the State of
Michigan enact, That it shall not be
lawful for any person, by himself, his
clerk or agent. to sell, give or furnish
any cigar, cigarette, cheroot. chewing
or smoking tobacco, or tobacco in any
form whatsoever, to any minor under
seventeen years of age, unless upon the
written order of the parent or guardian
of said minor.
SEC. Amy person who shall will
fully violate any of the provisions of
this act shall be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor. and, upon conviction there
of, shall be punished by fine Of not
less than five dollars, nor more than
fifty dollars, or by Imprisonment in the
county Jail for term of not less than
ten days nor more than thirty days, or
by both such fine and imprisonment in
the discretion of the court"

Ministerial Minutes.

Rev. Mr.. Gillett, of Yale, breaches
orthodox sermons on Sunday, but takes
a vacation during the week, practicing
law and dealing out justice as justice
of the peace-The Detroit Journal.
Rev. VIM. Gillett, of Yale, breaches
on Sunday and laws it on week days.
He is also a justice of the peace. Con-
sequently on week days he gives the
sinners Jail, but on Sunday he gives
them-well, life sentences in the ever
lasting molten lake.-The Evening
News, Detroit.
Rev. Mr.. Gillett, of Yale, shows a
keen sense of the eternal fitness of
things by preaching on Sundays and
alternately practicing law and acting
as justice of the peace on week days.
The sinner who will, may be converted
of his sins. He who won't may either
be fined or defended as circumstances
may require. 1t may be added that all
of this can be done with neatness and
dispatch and to the apparent satisfac-
ton of those interested. Port Huron
Daily Times.
Rev. Ira Billman wants to join the
Flint Presbytery, and his application
will be acted upon next fall. Billman
began the religious warfare as Lu-
theran, and in 1875 became pastor of
the congregational church at Toledo.
He next appeared as a Unitarian
preacher at Jackson, and later moved
to Killingworth, Conn, where he re-
entered the Congregational fold. Rev.
Billman told the Flint Presbytery that
his objection to the doctrine of the
trinity had been removed. He will no
doubt be welcomed to that body.-The
Detroit Journal.
We are pleased to notice that the
ministers of our thriving village are
receiving so much attention from the
papers of the State and while we are
obliged to plead ignorance as to the
past relation Mr.. Billman has had to
the church. we should judge from what
we know of him that he would do credit
to any society he might see fit to JON
in the future. AS to Mr.. Gillett we
heartily endorse that part of the item in
Saturdays Times which stated that the
various duties imposed upon him were
performed with ''neatneSs and dispatch.
and to the evident satisfaction of all
parties concerned" and we will only add
that if the gentleman is as successful
in making friends and inspiring confid-
ence in his career, as attorney and JUS
tice, as he has been in the ministry, the
disciples of Blackstone will have no
cause to blush at this new accession to
their ranks.

The Second Crime.

Martin Davis, of Speaker, a short
He is physically well developed, weighs
1874 lbs, and only 20 years of age. He
is naturally courageous youth and
evil associations made more rapid pro-
gress in working his motives into dis
honest and daring acts. Four months
ago Niggeman's jewelry store, Lexing-
ton, was burglarized and young Davis
was accused of the act, though an en-
deavor to secure his arrest proved futile.
1t seems Davis and his brother went
to Pontiac and were again suspected of
a similar otfense. They resisted arrest
and as result young Davis brother
was shot by officer Hickey. of Royal
Oak. and now lies in Detroit hospital
under medical treatment.
Martin was convicted of resisting ar
rest and carrying concealed weapons.
He just served his 80 days sentence in
Pontiac Jail when Sheriff Alexander
put him under arrest and brought him
back to Lexington for the first crime.
The prisoner is in deplorable condi-
ton, having been thrown into con-
WILSON'S, probably by second arrest,
the same continuing all'the way from
Pontiac and making the prisonable al
most unmanageable.
While at Lexington the prisoner was
under medical treatment for convul-
sions which continued severe at short
intervals. He escaped from the officers
at Lexington, but will probably soon
he recovered for his examination which
will no doubt result in his being bound
over for trial at the Circuit Court
Sanilac County Republican.
He has been re-arrested ana is now
in Jail at Sanilac Centre.

The hardest worked public officials
in Ireland during the Christmas h i
DAYS are the Post Office clerks. The
Post Offices and banks in the larger
towns are kept open during the holi-
days, and the clerks are constantly

come usually in amounts of from 50

these remittances are expected Is great.

A Good Word for Warming.Pans.

There is an old-time institution that
ought to be revived, and that is the
warming-pan. One authority says
that, according to medical protest
against damp or cold beds, warming
pans should come into fashion again.
One medical writer says: "Not only
the guest, but the family often suffer
the penalty of sleeping in cold rooms
and chilling their bodies at time
when they need all their bodily heat,
by getting between cold sheets. Even
in warm summer weather cold, damp
bed will get in its deadly work. 1t is
a needless peril, and the neglect TO
provide dry rooms and beds has in il
the elements of murder and suicide
People crawl irto the chilly sheets and
spend an hour in "getiing the bed
warm,n when the warming pans would
put them into cosy bed that would
give them warmth instead of taking il
from them.-[Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.
