blushinRly.
"You are2 Going crab-fashion, eh?"
And Warner laughed gleefully at this
palpable hit, for North, without know
ing IL at all, had been sauntering In the
opposite direction from Market square,
with every step putting a greater dis
lance between himself and that aristo-
cratic portion OF downtown"
"oh, wasn't going there directly,

without deigning even TO smile at War
ner's suggestion. However, II you are
going that way yourself, will walk

money for the Choctaw nation was
commenced at Tahlequah and finished
for that point yesterday. From there
the treasurer proceeded to sulphur
Springs and will make circuit of the
entire nation until all registered have

not consider IL advisable TO carry the
necessary abundance of cash with him,
much dissatisfaction is expressed
with the issuance Of paper payable in
Fort Smith, Ark, which is the course
he has adopted. 1t is alleged that a
gang of money sharks arc following
the procession, amply supplied from
unknown sources, who discount the
checks at per cent, which per cent is

A Source of State Pride.

"The Michigan State Normal School is
Justly regarded as one of the leading educa-
tional institutions of its kind in the United
States," recently remarked gentleman
from New York, who had been officially
connected with the schools of that great
state for many years. "In the quality and
character of its instruction, the strength and
adaptability of its courses and by reason of
the very successful results secured, your
State Normal School at Ypsilanti is easily
entitled to first place in the list of Normal
schools in our country" This is an intelli-
gent estimate of the work and value of one
of the educational institutions of our state
which will add to the pride and pleasure of
every Michigan reader.
1t is further source of satisfaction to the
people of Michigan, that the State Normal
School has constantly confined its efforts
and ambition to the purpose for which it is
established and for which it is willingly
supported-the development and training of
teachers for profession which has properly
come to be regarded as the highest and most
important to which the life of any man or
woman can be dedicated.
1t is also an important fact in connection
with the State Normal School, that the ex-
penses of its students are less than any
other educational institution in the state
Good board and rooms at Ypsilanti can be
obtained at prices ranging from $3.50 tc
800 and $3.50 per week. Free admission
to the State Normal is given to all students
who present certificates of appointment
from the legislative representative ol
senator of their district, and an admission
fee of but $5.OOper term is charged students
not holding such certificate.
Persons desiring further information con
cerning the State Normal School are re
quested to send for catalogue, or address
the Clerk of the school at Ypsianti, Mich
The State Normal School belongs to til,
people of Michigan, 1t is generously sup
ported by them, and it is the desire of tn
State Board of Education, under who's
control the school is, that no citizen of on
state shall lose or be deprived of its unusua
advantages by reason of lack of information
concerning such advantages.

they consequently fall an easy prey to these
wholesale thieves. They also shoot large
numbers of the mothers, which, while hunt
ing for food leave their young upon the
island and which consequently starve, thus
destroying three lives, for she is. under
these circumstances, always pregnant
Only one seal is secured of every six that
is shot in the water. In 1891 the Canadian
vessels secured %, 900 skins, which must
have represented the killing of not less than
10000, most useless, wanton, wicked
waste of valuable property. So great was
the slaughter that our government reduced
the number to be killed on the island to
10000 and in 1892 to 2l,OOO.
At the beginning of this century, there
was an immense ''rookery" of fur seals on the
Falkland Islands, southeast of Patagonia
in the Antartic Ocean. But there was no
one to protect them and they are annihilated.
And such will surely be the fate of the
Behring Sea seals If our protection is with
drawn.
The course Canada IS pursuing is entirely
indefensible, actuated by greed for present
gain, regardless of the disastrous results
that must follow, that would incite an in
dividual to burglary or highway robbery.
1t seems to me our government would have
been justified by every consideration of
right, if they had blown each and every one
OF these poachers out of the water at sight.
Rather than permit this wholesale, useless
slaughter to go on, our government may
think it wise and humane to make finish of
the question by killing all the seals that
come to the Islands.
