MICHIGAN'S BENEFACTOR
An OF Repeated Story Of True
Philanthropy.


(From Grand Ropids. kicA, Etssiag PSsae)
The most beautiful spot in all this city ID
inseparably associated with the name OF
Hackley. Chas. H. Hackley has been in the
lumber business here continuously since
1856 and in that time has amassed fortune
which gives him rating among the wealthy
men of the nation. But with wealth there
did not come that tightening Of the purse
strings which is generally marked char
acteristic OF wealthy men.
1t Is not wonder then that the name Of
Charles II. Hackley is known at home and
abroad. His munifcence to Muskegon alone
represents an outlay Of nearly half million.
For the past twenty years no has been .
constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheu-
matism, also numbness Of the lower limbs,
80 much SO that 1t has seriously interfcred
with his pleasure in life For some time
past his friends have noticed that he has
seemed TO grow young again and to have
recovered the health which he had in youth.
To reporter for the Press Mr.. Hackley
explained the secret of this transforms alton.
81 have suffered for over % years" he said,
with pains in my lower limbs SO severely,
that the only relief could get at night was
by putting cold water congresses on my
limbs. Twas bothered more at night than
in the day time. Tho neuralgia and rheu.
matte pains in my limbs, which had been
growing in intensity for years, finally b.
came chronic. made three trips to tho
Hot Springs with only partial relief and
then fell back TO my original state. I
couldn't sit still and my sufYerings began to
make life look very blue. Two years ago
last September noticed an account Of DIR
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
what they had done for others, and some
cases so nearly resembled mine that was
interested, SO I wrote to one who had given
testimonial, an eminent professor of music
In Canada. The reply l received was even
stronger than the printed testimonial and 1t
gave me faith In the medicine.
Il began taking the pills and found them
to be all that the professor had told me they
would be. 1t was two or three months be-
fore experienced any perceptible better
ment Of my condition. My disease was Of
such long standing that did not expect
speedy recovery and was thankful even to
be relieved. progressed rapidly, however,
towards recovery and for the last six months
have felt myself q perfectly well man. /
have recommended the pills to many people
and am only too glad to assist others to
full medicine cannot say too much for
what it has done for me'
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DR.. Williams

NICOTINE BLINDNESS


Disease Said to Prevail Among Tobacco
ibid you ever hear of tobacco blind
ness?' said doctor. 1T il something
we meet with quite freely, yet not 50
much as one would suppose, when the
great consumption Of tobacco is con-
sidered. Yet there are many who are
on the threshold Of tobacco blindness
who have, or may not have, m expert
ence with the disease.
For, in tobacco poisoning, like that
produced by other drugs, the system
can resist the influence of the invader
up to certain point, when the small
est further dose of the poison will pro-
duce the same symptoms as the taking
of larger dose would. Thus, in the
case of many people, the mere smoking
of pipe or two more q day would pro-
duce in them all the advanced svmp-
toms of tobacco poisoning. So 1t IS that
doctors make it imperative in such
cases that the smoking habit must be
dropped entirely. To smoke moder-
ately will not do. You cannot afford
to take the chances of giving the sys-
tenn that little bit more of nicotine

the FIRST LONG DRESS.

0ese Important Evsas In tAe History q
. Gsrrs Lie.
IL ID . momentous day In the history
of girls life when she puts ON her
first long dress 1t is much more Inn
portant event than the putting on Of
his first pair of long trousers by q boy,
for the boy Is a boy still for soma
years afterwards, but from the time the
girl dons her first real long dress she il
regarded as . woman.
She may have worn dresses that
reached almost down to her shoe tops,
but they were as youthful in appear
ance as the long dresses which she
wore in babyhood. But when an even
all-round skirt is changed to the dra-
perry of the dress worn by grown
women, then we have no longer a young
girl. but n young lady. pure and simple.
Many girls, anxious to be thought
young women, are in too great hurry to
put on these sweeping gowns, and don
them too soon. In after years they
will regret their hurry, for it is
strange. but true, that q girls age is
reckoned by her friends from the time
she puts on her first real long dress.
This style necessarily makes q change
In her demeanor.
No matter how coltish and young
she may feel, the long breadths Of
cloth put a stop to the friskiness of the
days of short skirts 1t is only natural,
therefore, that a new department
should follow the advent of the length
ened skirt.
When the long dress comes the hair
undergoes a change, but a different
change from that which takes place in
the skirt. It is taken up high on the
head, and the result is that a stranger
would be at loss to tell whether tho
little girl of the day before was now
seventeen or twenty years of age.
Girls, don't be in a hurry to put on
long dresses. Think of the years dur
ing which you will have to wear them.
Some time in the future you will look
back with regret to the free and happy
days of your girlhood, and will wonder
how you could have been in a hurry to
leave them for the cares of woman
hood.
Don't be in a hurry to abandon your
dolls and go into society. Cherish tho
days of your youth. If you are. a.
Longfellow puts it:
/" Standing, with reluctant feet.
Where the brook and river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet"

river, whose mighty torrent sweeps all
before it, but linger by the side of the
babbling brook, whose music brings

involving the expenditure Of considerable
public money, and resulting in the send
ing of sane man to an insane asylum,
may be looked upon as a legitimate jour
nalistic enterprise.
Il hardly think. however, that upon
sober second thought, any citizen would
so regard it. But. be that as it may, one
who embarks upon such an enterprise, an
enterprise that involves violation of
law, an enterprise which involves the
commission of public offese, must abide
tho consequences. l shall, of course,
take into consideration the fact that the
respondent has attempted to purge him
self OF the contemp pit of court, and therefore
make the punishment light; but still
shall make it severe enough to emphasize
the fact that the courts must not be so
trifled with.
"The defendant will be punished by a
fine Of 5000, with the usual alternative OF
100 days in the county jail. y
After rendering his judgment, Mr..
Clark hastened TO inform the able law
yers for the defense that no other depart
ment of the superior court could issue a
writ of ihabeas corpus in the premises. and
if a review was desired the supreme
court would have to be communicated
with. Mr.. Gibbon replied to the judge
on the bench that he was fully aware of
the next legal proceeding and the su-
preme court should Immediately be seen.
