The show this year contains everything
that human ingenuity could invent of
a novel kind, or that money could buy.
Everything is absolutely new-new cos
tunes, new street parade, new tents, new
performers, new acts, attractions and de-
cidedly novel performances. The world
has been searched for startling attrac-
tons and here are a few of them. Chiko

Mr.. EDITOR:
The article In your issue of Saturday
from the pen of Lawyer Chapman is sam
ple of the contemplate and indecent stuff
Of which this man Is composed from the
crown of his head to the sole Of his feet and
II is one of the misfortunes of Shiawassee
county politics that the decent supporters of
candidates like Rich and Bliss are compelled
to rub against so ie-tongued an excuse for
q man. ~
he says It Is the hit bird that futters and
we agree with him. His wOeful failure to
give any honest reason for the nomination
OF Col. Bliss at this time or for the turning
down OF John 7. Rich, and his absolute In
ability to make any argument but to wali0w
around in the mire is proof that he was
struck and struck hard.
The various charges made against the
writer and his sons are easily proven raise.
Chapman attempted to force The Itmes
into supporting StOckbrldge by sending a
man to the editor with the story that II the
support was refused, Stockbridge would
buy the american and the Reporter and
run a republican paper. The messenger
returned with the reply that The Times was
against, Stockbridge first, last and all the
time and that the starting of paper or the
combination of papers did not trouble us
any more than did the bringing Of the
American to OwOssO for the purpose OF
running out The Times. The failure would
be equally as bad.
AS to Mr.. Chapman supporting ID. Is:
Dewey for School Commissioner, little need
be said. No one ever asked him to and MS
influence with the men who elected the
Commissioner was as it Is today, minus
quantity.
When Geo. NJ. Dewey was a candidate
for the consulate at Victoria. B. g.. Chap
man and two others in Owosso attempted to
get StOckbridge to refuse to endorse him
but the following letter will explain what
their efforts amounted to and will also show
the feeling which that gentleman enter
tanned for the applicant:
hereby endorse Mr.. Dewey as q person
fully qualified to fill such q position with
honor to his country and credit to himself
and ask that the appointment be made.

The Bean,iful women Of Provence.

But there is one thing in Aries that you
will need no guides OF any kind 10 show
you. ! mean the beauty of its women, who
arc still naive or wise enough to wear tho
little Aresian cap and voluminous fchu.
OF course they have always been famous
for lovelness all over the world, yet moth
ing in other parts of the world will have
helped you to imagine them. The type Is
peculiar TO Provence, much more delicate
than Italian types, the very dark eyes and
hair contrasting with the whitest Of skins,
spirited and yet an extremely poetic
type, and so refined, so aristocratic, that
its charm Is not lost in old age. Neverthe-
less not the type itself, but the frequency
of its perfect presentation, is the most sur
prising, the most delightful fact.
Here an ugly woman, a commonplace
looking girl, Is the exception. Where five
or six are gathered together three at least
will be beauties, and the others will DO
comcly. Surely if these people are as
Greek as they like TO think the scolptors
OF ancient Greece needed their imagina-
tions less than we are accustomed To think.
Scores of times i cried TO myself, This
one Is tho most beautiful of ALL" But
best of all i now remember girl who,
with the true Arlesian face, had unbeliev-
able riches of red hair. She was more
beautiful than, in our unequal world, any
woman has any right to be. 1t was bear
able 10 look at her only because one felt
that very likely every man and woman In
Aries, including her splendid self, thought
the redness of her hair distressingly unfor-
tunate.-Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, In
Century.

Woman's Influence.

Bishop Vincent says woman's influence
is enormous, and "if she use IL wisely she
needs no additional power" A growing
number Of the wisest and most successful
mothers think otherwise. Mrs. Zerelda q.
Wallace, for instance, points out that a
mother must always be at a disadvantage
In training her children SO long AS she has
no voice i'm determining the environment
which shall surround her home. She says:
"The mother tries TO teach her boy that
he must be pure and temperate and hon
orable. That boy goes out from his moth.

er's teachings He says to himself, why,
mother says so and so, but he finds men
In high places violating all those teach
ings, and he begins TO conclude that hsi
mother does not know much about 1t.
From that minute that boy discounts his
mothers judgment, and though she must
still have hold on his affections she does
not have hold upon him in any other
way. There is where you wrong us, gen.

"My dear one may not be the loveliest
woman In the world, but she certainly has
the most beautiful arms" So wrote the
present German emperor to his mother
when hs was In the first bliss OF courting
lis "brier rose" as he called Augusta
Victoria az Sleswick Holstein, whom he
afterward made his wife. The kaiser was
only 90 years Of age when he woood and
won his wife, with scant regard for the
wishes Of his grandfather.
She Is a woman, according To Mr. Ar
thur Warren, the author Of the sketch In
the woman at Home, from whom these
quotations are made, who entirely fulflls
the kaisers ideal OF what woman should
be. William III has no patience with the
new woman or any of the emancipated OF
her sex. He has declared more than once
that he prefers n wife who can make jam
TO one who can discuss a constitution. The
empress fills that bill exactly. She can
make jam and cares nothing whatever
about political constitutions.
Another saying Of the emperor's Is that
he could wish nothing better for the wei.
fare of. his nation than that the girls OF
Germany should follow tho example OF the
empress and devote their lives, as she
does, TO the cultivation Of the three ks

Elderly Women.

In America the elderly woman has disap-
peared and this superficial observer as
cribed her elimination TO the fashions.
Not only, he declared does the mother
dress like tho daughter but the grand
mother Is gownod like the mother. There
Is no doubt that the old distinctions which
used TO exist between the dress OF the wom-
an OF 30 and the woman of 60 or more
have largely been abolished. But this IL a
result and not a cause. The fact Is that
at no age arc American women any longer
set aside as having outgrown the period OF
usefulness.
