His Name Was All Right.

A young fellow six feet tall and weigh
ing 200 pounds not long ago applied to a
Detroit merchant for position in his
store.
aWhat's your name?7 inquired the
merchant.
Little Dickey Robinson, replied the
young man promptly.
sWhat 2" exclaimed the merchant in as
constituent as he surveyed his proper
tons.
Little Dickey Robinson, was the reply,
this time several tones louder.
1t made the merchant half angry.
"What in thunder does great big fell
low ike you mean by giving such name
as that" he asked Indignantly. Haven't
you cut loose from your mothers apron
strings yet?'
The young fellows temper was admir-
able, and he was after job, besides.
81 give such pane as that, sill" he
said, ''because that is my name, and if
you We got man in this house that thinks
he can lick me. or dares to make fun of
that name, trot him out.
The merchant began to smooth him
down and asked for an explanation.
s'It's this way" he said quite good
naturally, "my mothers maiden name was
Little, my fathers name was Robinson and
his mothers maiden name Dickey. They
wanted me to have the family names, and
so I'm Little Dickey Robinson
The explanation was eminently salts
factory; so was the the young man, and
he's going to work soon.

complaints have been heard, modifica-
lions have been made in the original
plans, fresh tests have been given, but
the superiority of American inventors
has not been demonstrated. While
this is regretted from national point
Of view, nevertheless the army could
not afford to arm itself with m infe-

has shown its superiority in the view

There is no immigration associ-
alton in this parish TO select dele
gates to represent this parish at

PREPARED TO DIE.

The doomed men, Michel and
Chambers, who will be hanged
here next Friday, are fully pre-
pared to meet their Master and
give an account of their earthly
career. These men receive their re-
ligious advisers almost every day.
Michel believes in the Catholic
faith. The priests and sisters Wis
it and prepare him. Chambers
still clings to the Methodist per-
suation. The colored ministers of
his church visit him nearly every
day, and hold prayers i'll the Jail
Both men are more cheerful now
than n Few days ago. 1t seems
that their devotion to religion give
them strength and courage. They
are glad to receive visitors, and
speak of their hanging as if it was
an ordinary occurrence.
The families of the doomed men
visit them daily. When the wife
and children of Chambers enter
the Jail it is tears and lamentations,
but he is firm and courageous, he
never shed a tear, but tells them
that they should not lament over
him, he is & man and will die like
q man.
With Michel it is the contrary
the time spent with his wife and
children is a happy one, they talk
and laugh as if in a happy family
reunion.
Both prisoners had a haircut
and shave Sunday last, and ask
to be shaved again the day of their
execution.

partments in his store is complete
with the freshest goods of the la
test styles and patterns.
His stock has been selected with
care, and was bought for Cash at
remarkably close figures, which
enables him to dispose of these
goods to his numerous customers
at prices that will defy any COM
petition. His idea is to be the
leader in low prices and he in
tends to maintain his reputation.
He invites the public to come and

How Fires Affect People.
Scientific American.

In a fire you get very close down
to human nature, observes the
New York Sun. The other night
an apartment house took fire.
There was no time to be lost by
the inmates. A mother, scantily
clad and crying, took out her two
little children. a wife buttoned
herself in her long newmarket and
ran, leading her brown-eared set
ter. A devoted son and daughter
on the top floor dressed warmly
their helpless old mother of 80
and waited to carry her, if need
be, across the fire escape. One
woman put on furlined cape
over her night dress and came
forth with a travelling bag filed
with silver, a young widow ran
for her new Sunday frock and took
down the departed ones portrait.
Another came forth fully equipp-
ed as for church, in jacket, tipped
hat, and crimps. Another young
woman left all her belongings and
fed in her night dress, blistering
her bare feet on the cinders, and
ran down the street calling for a
carriage. Another got her yalua-
bles Ii her sealskin coat, and find
ing the smoke not too threatening,
fshed out her lcng-tailed gown
and the black silk siihouettes of
her grandfather and grandmother,
which she knew she couldn't re-
place. One man contented him
self with a bath robe, another
dressed himself in his four-in-
hand tie and scarf pin.

Hygiene and Sanitation at the
Exposition.
= Scientific American.


Tho Bureau of Hygiene and
Sanitation at the Worlds Column
bian Exposition has been organ
lied for the purpose of giving as
complete a view of the present
state of the science as possible.
More and more attention is being
given to sanitary science, and the
truth of the expression 1.-The COM
mon health is the common wealth
is being abundantly proved by the
decreasing death rate in many Of
our leading cities. The exhibit
bids fair to be of interest not only
to the specialist, but to the gener-
al public also. Athletic training
both at home and at the gymnas-
ism will be well represented.
Food, its preparation and sophis-
tication, will occupy a large
amount Of floor space. Another
class 1927 will include dwellings,
their sanitary defects and the best
means of rem-dying them. This
will be followed by hotels, public
baths, lavatories, models relating
to the disposal of the dead, the
supply of water, the disposal of
sewage, etc. Such subjects as
dust nuisances, the removal of no.
xious vapors, the danger from III
fictitious diseases in certain trades,
will be given great attention and
will doubtless be productive of
much good.
