opened with song and prayer.
BY request of Secy Dodge, Secy Dewey,
of Shiawassee county, was appointed chair
man.
''The Teachers Example," read by Mrs,
Marshall, showed an extensive amount of
thought given to the subject treated and
was quite freely discussed by several of the
teachers present. The next subject, 'Ge-
ography," was presented by Miss Maud
Sharkey, and led to an animated discussion
on the two methods of teaching geography,
the inductive and deductive A short mus
ical selection was rendered, after which the
teachers proceeded to the M. +. church.
where bOuntiful dinner was provided by
the citizens and served by the ladies of
Oakley.
A two o'clock the convention reassembled
and was called to order by chairman Dewey,
after which selection was rendered by the
choir, followed by the election of the follow
ing permanent officers: Myron T. Dodge,
Pres. Maud Sharkey, Secy and Treas.
The first paper presented in the afternoon
was 'The Practical Teacher by d.. Hicks,
Principal of the Oakley Public Schools, and
was discussed by the association at large.
The speaker defined the practical teacher
as one who endeavored to teach that which
would De Denenclal 10 the pupil In after
years. The next subject, "School manage
ment," was presented by Mrs. G. Jackson,
in which some excellent ideas were advanced
regarding that perplexing subject. The
speaker advocated the idea that certain
amount of noise was unavoidable in school
room where pupils were interested in their
work. Supervisor w. w. Burgess, an ex-
school teacher presented his views on teach
ing arithmetic, which were well received by
the association.
Sec'y Dodge then gave an interesting talk
on the subject of grading district schools.
After reviewing the history of the school
system of Michigan from 1875 until the pres
ent time, which showed grading to be a
feature of recent date, he entered into an
explanation of the manual for grading
schools of Brady and Chesaning and very
distinctly showed the faults of the present
system.
President Dodge then appointed the fol-
lowing permanent committees: Executive
committee, ID. j. Hicks, Alice Barnes, Lena
Wilker. Committee on Resolutions, Mrs.
M. Marshall, Phoebe Fletcher, Rosa Ster-
ner.

Burton Farmers Club.

The regular meeting of the Burton Farm
ers' club was held at the residence of ID. s.
Cramer on the 9TH. The attendance was
not quite as large as usual, owing to the fact
That the farmers were very busy getting in
their spring crops. But the lack of male
members of the club was pretty we'll made
up by the ladies, who were out i'm full force
and did (as they always do) their full share
In making the occasion pleasant one. By
the way, feel like saying to the gentle
men members of the club that you must
take hold little better If you do not want
the laurels all to pass from your brows to
those of the sisters.
As your reporter did not take any notes
of this meeting it will only be possible to
give an outline of the days business. A
good deal of time was taken up i'm discuss
ing the question of accepting an invitation
to visit the State Agricultural College.
After good deal of talk it was decided to
go on the 4th of June, that being the day
for the next regular meeting. Nearly all
the members signified their intention to 20
and committee was appointed consist
ing of Daniel Lewis, q. II. Mason and c.
p. Shepard to see about the railroad rates.
notify the officers of the college and extend
an invitation to the Maple River club. All
who would like to do so are cordially invited
TO ''ring in" and go along.
The principal subject of discussion was
''lOcal option" which brought out general
expression from the members of the club.
The most of them seemed to think that
something should be done in the matter and
there was general expression of wonder
that the prohibitionists of the county did
not take some steps to start the ball rolling.
Can it be possible that they are so selfish as
to be Indifferent to q measure that may have
great deal of good in it even If not Just
what they want? With the terrible evil of
intemperance staring us in the face with
large city like that of OwOsso growing up
in our county, from which all the evil ten
dencies of the rum power 60 forth to drag
our young men down to perditon, it would
seem that any measure looking to the abate-
ment of the evil in the least would be hailed
by all right thinking people with delight.
After some discussion the following resOlu-
tions were adopted and ordered sent to the
OwossO TIMES for publication:
RESOLVED: That we, the members of the
Burton Farmers Club, favor the agitation of
the local option law and the enforcement of
the same.
RESOLVED: That we request all neighbor-
ing Farmers Clubs and all farmers organiza-
tions to take an expression on this subject
in their meetings and report the same to the
OwOsso TINES for publication.

What an Indian Can Stand.

To show what an Indian can stand
when he has to, may tell of an incident
which happened during the winter I was
with them. Toward evening on very
cold winter day, when it was showing
just a little and drifting great deal, an
Indian came to the log house with jug
imagine that the jug had been entirely
full of whisky when he started, and by
the time he got to the house he was in
rather jolly condition. The Jug and
the rifle were taken away from him, and
he was ordered to get to his wigwam as
as quick as he could before darkness
came on. He left, and was supposed to
have gone to the camp, but early next
morning his squaw appeared at the house
and said he had not come home that
night, and as the night was cold she had
been anxious about him. Then the search
for the lost Indian began.
He was found in one of the sheds near
the barn under a heap of drifted snow,
and the chances are that the snow that
was above him had helped to save his
life. The searchers for the Indian had
gone in different directions and it was
his own squaw who, with true Indian in
stinct, had tracked him out, and she
was alone when she found him. Appar-
emily the Indian was a frozen corpse. She
tumbled him out of the snow bank and
dragged him down to the creek, where a
deep hole was cut in the ice for the pur-
pose of watering the cattle. Laying the
Indian out on the snow, she took the
pan that was beside the hole, and, fill
ing it repeatedly, dashed pailful after
paiful of ice water over the body of the
Indian. BY the time the other unsuc-
cessful searchers had returned she had
her old man thawed out and seated by
the fire wrapped up in blankets. There
is no question that if he had been found
by the others, and had been taken in the
house frozen as he was, lie would have
died.-Detroit Free Press.

CLEANING,

The setting sun has dropt below the sandy
: reach;
The laggard rocks come home, belated, from
the beach;
Here in the gerden-beds the flowers close
their eyes,
And twilight's soft wan mist across the wood
land lies.
oh. is not this most sweet Of any time or
hour,
After the garish day, and ere the night
clouds lower?
'Tis as though Natures self should pause
upon her way,
Gray-clad and pilgrim-like, to mediate and
pray.

Prayer Among the MOngOls.

On the tops of all the houses were little
prayer wheels turned by the force of the
wind, simple arrangement like an ane-
mometer placed on them catching the
air and so keeping them in motion. In
the hands of most of the old men and
women were bronze or brass prayer
wheels, which they kept continually
turning, while not satisfied with this me-
chanical way of acquiring merit, they
mumbled the popular formula ''Om mani
peme hum" the well-knoWn invocation
to ACCOMPLISHMENTS, the would-be saw
ior of the world Century.

A RIOT IN CHICAGO.
Two Young Men Assaulted by Drunk
en- Greeks-NIanyP Persons Injured.

During a small riot that took place early
in the morning at the corner Of Harrison
and Clinton streets, Chicago, two young
men, Lawrence Casey and Richard Caskens,
received injuries probably fatal, and over a
dozen others We're badly hurt. Casey and
Caskens were driving along Harrison street
in buggy, when they encountered crowd
of intoxicated Greeks near the corner of
Clinton street. The Greeks refused to get out
of the road and a violent alteration en-
sued. They jumped into the buggy and at
tackled the young men with knives. Caskens
and Casey drew their revOlvers and fired
right and left. The Greeks succeeded, how
ever. in wrestling away the revolvers, and it
began to look as if the young men would be
killed outright when the patrol
wagon loaded with police dashed up.
When the Greeks saw the police
they rushed into house on the corner
and barricaded the door. Caskens and Casey,
each having over dozen wounds, were sent
to the hospital. Lieutenant Cosgrove pre-
pared to storm the dwelling in which the
Greeks had entrenched themselves. a heavy
scantling was secured, and amid the bowls
and yells of the Greeks, the officers battered
down the door. A terrible hand-to-hand
struggle then took place in the hall. When
the melee was over eighteen Greeks, stunned
and bleeding from the police clubs. were
thrown into the patrol wagon and taken of
to the station.

"You have outwitted me-"
My heart had grown steadier. Icould
now ask as well as answer
''Now tell me why you have taken the
trouble during all these years to play this
little game?"
"When you were little girl you
Inundated me. | said then I would be
revenged and I never relinquished my

Ny inability to understand such vim
dictiveness brought my head to the aid
of my heart. ''Do you feel satisfed?'' l
asked, not without malice.
You have outwitted me, I said be-
FORE" he answered sullenly, and could
have told him but for an instant's mis-
years of effort
Enough of this, said. "You have
had your little game and mine. Let
us GO in"
"Kitty, you are not going, you can
not" He bent upon me all the fervor of
his eloquent eyes.
"Oh, can't II" I got up.
"There is that between us which has
never been said"
"The rest is silence" I answered,
and my airy gown slipped through his
hands,
I saw him after went in with his
head bowed in his hands.
"Take me home, Aunt Betty, I'm
tired" pleaded with my gay maiden
aunt. As we went out saw John TEN
pie come in by the window, and as we
closed the gate his blond head was droop-
ing over Laura Golden shoulder.
"Here Is your ring Aunt Betty, it hurts
my finger. But you can't tell how en-
joyed wearing it just once"

casion."
"Well, I'll leave it to you in my will
to remember it BY"
"Never!" I shrieked. "Never! I
never want to see it again" And I
sobbed myself to sleep.
The next day I went to Maysville, ten
miles away. The third day John Temple
came up and drove by the house, waving
his hat out of the carriage window. 1t
was "protected SPREE" Aunt Betty
wrote me.
Lnever saw John Temple again. When
ever I heard of him, he was still treading
on women's hearts and being fed by de-
votions. We never either of us mar
ried.
Last week learned he was dead. He
had been thrown from his horse on the
plains and was killed. He had been
drinking.
Long since lost the power to care. I
can only wonder at the prodigality of ma
ture, who can create bodies like that Of
John Temple, so beautiful, so gracious,
so full of charm, and then leave them to
perish as should misshapen creatures, by
neglecting to provide them with soul.

Sketch of His Life

David Kalakaua was born on the 10th Of
November, 1885, his father and mother not
being in direct descent from the line of
ancient Kings of Hawaii.
When King Kamehameha V died in 1872,
he became candidate for the throne, but
was defeated in the plebscitum by William
LunalilO who died within year of his ac-
cessiOn. kalakaua then again put forward
his claims, but was opposed by Queen Emma,
widow of the fourth King Kamehameha.
He was elected by the Legislature
whereupon the supporters of Queen Emma
attempted to start revolution, and attacked
the Parliament houses. Order was estab-
hshed finally by marines from English and
American men-Of-war in the harbOr, and
Kalakaua was established in the regal aJi-
thority.
In the autumn Of that year, 1874, he de-
cided to visit the United States and Europe,
with view to the conclusion of a CONNER
cial treaty, and he was brought to this coun-
try in American frigate. From San
Francisco he proceeded to Salt Lake City,
Chicago, Boston, New York New Bedford
and other cities and made favorable i'm
preston everywhere as an Intelligent and
well-meaning man.
In 1882 he made trip around the world,
and was received bv the crowned heads of
Asia and Europe as brother and equal. He
visited the courts of japan, China, Siam.
Singapore, Burmah India, Egypt, France,
England, Belgium, spain, Portugal, Austria
ard Germany.
During Kalakaua's reign there have been
severtl attempts at revolution, generally at
tributad to foreign intrigue, but none of
them were successful. He married in 1863
Kapiolani, daughter of an eminent chief, but
leaves no children.
Kalakaua will be succeeded by his sister,
lydia Kamakaheha Liliuokalani, who was
born on September 2, 1888. She was pro.
claimed heir-apparent to the throne on April
II, 1877, on the death of his brother, who had
been proclaimed heir upon the Kings in
auguration. Princess Liliuokalani is now
acting regent, having twice previously filled
the high Office during the Kings absence.

King Kalakaua, of Hawaii, died at the
Palace Hotel in San Francisco, Cal, at go
on a recent afternoon. He had been in an
unconscious condition with the exception OF
one or two brief intervals for twenty-four
hours and his death was hourly expected.
Consul Mckinley, Colonel Macfarlane, the
Royal Chamberlain; Colonel Baker. of the
Kings staff the Rev. Mr. Church, Claus
Spreckels. Admiral Brown and several other
of the mOnarchs personal friends were pres
ert when he passed away.
There had been no hope Of the Kings re-
covery, though his alarming condition was
not generally known until the evening be-
fore his death, when the attending physi-
clans announced that his malady was
Bright's disease and uremia. Kalakaua's
visit to this country was made on account of
his failing health.
His body will be taken to his former home
in the new United States cruiser Charleston,
the same vessel which brought him to San
Francisco six weeks ago. =

Grand Army Notes,

Gov. Hovey of Indiana declines to
be considered in the race for comman-
der-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
At the state encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at AS
toria, Ore, Thursday, C. Summers OF
Portland was elected department
commander.
Department Commander Morgan
was in Bristol a few days ago and
instituted Grand Army post there
with some % members. 1t is named
the Walter c. Dunton, No. 10.
There was post in this town, but
for lack of interest its charter was
surrendered few years ago.
+ A charter has been granted by the
Commander-in-Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic for a provision
al post which will bear the name of
General Sherman. The new post will
be formally instituted during the
Sherman memorial exercises which
are to be held at the Brooklyn acad-
envy of music on Thursday evening
May 7.
Post No. 1 of the Grand Army of
the Republic of Decatur, ILL.,, has pre-
! sented to Commander-in-Chief w. g..
Veazey solid gold badge-a regula-
ton Grand Army of the Republic bar,
with ribbon of the national color
snspending a solid gold pendant the
exact size of a 500 gold-piece. On
one side is inscribed: Fidelity, Char
ity and Loyalty, '61-65." On the
opposite side are bas-reliefs of B. f.
Stephenson, founder of the Grand
Army of the Republic organization,
and Wheeloek g. Weary, present com
mander-in-chief
Last June at the meeting in Boston
the Grand Army had grown to ITS
posts in forty-four states and terri
tories, with a membership in good
standing of 1915 The total
membership, including those under
suspension or out on transfer, was
45S ,230. If the increase since then
has been equal to that which had
taken place during the previous year,
the meeting next June will show 500
900 members. The Grand Army ex-
ponds about $25O,000 a year from
its relief fund, and up to this time it's
records show more than $2,0O0,OO0
thus laid out.
1t is interesting to note the fact.
says the New Orleans Times Democrat
tina t the south furnished a much |
larger number of troops to the feder-
al government than is generally sup
posed, and thereby weakened the con
federacy. In fact, nearly as many
enlisted in the federal army from the
southern states as comprised the
whole southern army. Missouri gave
the largest number 100000, Ken
lucky came next with $4,000, Mary
land $4,000, West Virginia 81 900,
Tennessee 10000, and the District of
Columbia 5000, exclusive of North
Alabama and North Georgia, besides
which there were 10000 negro
troops, making an aggregate of SOL
500 troops drawn from the south.

President Harrison.

President Harrison is meeting with
hearty welcomes and is received in 8
most patriotic and cordial manner
in his trip throughout the South
This we think is not entirely due to
the respect expected to be paid to
one occupying the chief office of the
nation, but is in no small degree a
tribute to one who has ably and
honorably performed the trying du-
ties in connection with the Presidency
Thus far he has land will through
out the entire trip, give renewed ev-
idence of his readiness and versatile
ity as a speaker in the brief addresses
which he has made to the people
along the route. There is no guide
book or encyclopedia flavor to his
speeches, but they are all direct and
to the point, and show a knowledge
of the country, a comprehensive
grasp of social, labor and economic
problems, and sympathy and in
terest in the people and their efforts
to build up their manufacturing in
dustries and develop their resources,
which capture the attention and
good will of his listeners at once
They feel right away that the Pres
ident is "a man of ideas, Independent
of encyclopedias, who knows what
to say and how to say it well.
