EDITOR NoRTHwEsT:-I desire to
call the attention of the corporate
authorities of Napoleon through
your columns of the manifest injus-
tice and unfairness of refusing to any
citizen of the corporation the means
of enjoying the benefit of the elec-
tric light system of the town, while
being taxed for the expenses of the
plant. On the south side every lot
and tract of land situate within the
corporate limits is subject to the
burden of taxation for the payment
of the expenses of the establishment
and maintenance of this system, and
| submit that every tax payer has the
right to be furnished with the means OF
illumating his home with the electric
light for which he thus pays.
am informed that petition will
be presented to the village council
at its next session, praying for the
means to connect the houses of peti-
TONERS on this side of the river with
the plant on the north side, so as tc
get the benefit of the light for which
they pay. l am sure that l but ex
press the sentiments of every fair
minded citizen of the corporation,
when l say that the petition herein
mentioned ought to be granted.

A Conscientious Catfish.

There have been many cases where
fishes have been caught in whose capa-
cious maws were found long missing
rings, necklaces, base ball masks, and
such like trifies. Once in great while
a thieving fish is stricken by it's con-
science into desire to make restitu-
ton. Such a fish was the giant cat
which lay watching the shores of an
Eastern stream all through the month
of April. Many fishermen tried to land
him, but he contemptuously refused the
most tempting lures, until a tall man of
striking personal appearance came one
day. The big cat leaped from the water
and fell at his feet, without waiting for
hook or line. The tall man was aston
ished. After cutting open the fish after
ward he discovered a gold eagle which
he had lost year before lying in the
fish's stomach. Most wonderful Of all,
there were, besides, sixty copper cents
one years legal interest, which the
noble fish had yielded up its life in try
Ing to restore. Here is mark for other
piscatorial prevaricators to work up to.

several were sent to the earth as the
result of his sharp claws. The air was
filled with the little excited birds and
their chatter could be heard block
away. BY this time Tom was squalling
at the top of his voice and his eyes
glowed like Goals of fire. The fight
continued up the street until the hotel
was reached, when Tom made a dive
for the office, but was headed off and at
last found refuge under a cab that stood
in front of the door. A large crowd
gathered and saw the fight waged by
the birds on their common enemy. IN
der the cab the birds could not reach
Tom without subjecting themselves to
great danger from his sharp claws, and
soon flew back to the barn chattering
and making every possible manifesto

stilled the thoroughly whipped Tom

scurried down the alley.

Cycling Se4 Miles = Day.

1t seems almost incredible that a
man should be able to cover a distance
Of 524 miles in twenty-four consecutive
hours, furnishing all the motor power
himself, and yet that was what the
French bicyclist, Riviere, did at Bor-
1eaux Tuesday. Applied in straight
line that days motion would have car

Of Cleveland. OF course, he made his
record on a cement track, but it isn't
every one of us that can do his twenty
two miles on a track in an hour, not to
mention keeping it up for twenty -four.
The French, by the way, while they
don't keep with us in short-distance
riding, seem to have everything their
own way in the long ones, the Ameri-
ian twenty-four-hour record being some
100 miles lower than theirs.

never ceased to regret the day in 1889
when he signed treaty practically
placing Abyssinia under the protection
of Italy. He has said, in later years,
that the Italians asked an inch and took
an ell. He has accused them of at
tempting to absorb his country and
make him merely figurehead. That
is the cause of the present war, in
which the Italians, from the start, are
rapidly getting the best Of the fighting.
The Italians assert, not only that the
King violated his treaty, but also that
he prevented Italian traders from doing
business. They have gone into his
country, to buy ivory, and they say that
the King sent his agents far and wide
to intercept ivory caravans, and when
they reached the Italians they had no
ivory to sell, because the King had
bought every tusk.

Lord God, Thou lettest the green things
start
A new life every year;
Out of their sunken selves they rise,
Erect and sweet and clear.
Behold the lily's pure, white leaves
Unfolding by each mere!
Again the sap mounts in the fir
Thro' every swelling vein;
Again the clover stirs and thrills.
Responsive to the rain;
Again the tender grass makes green
The lone breast Of the plain.
Hear the new, golden field of song
The lark pours to the blue
Behold the strong, undaunted shoot
Pushing its brave front through
The fallen treel Lord God, Lord
God,
Let me begin anew!
Out of my own self let me rise
For, God, II 1t can be

From yon decaying tree
Surely a strong, pure life may mount

Injustice to conquered enemies. He
largely widened the boundaries of Shoa

above all his advisers for his faith in
fine advantage of drawing useful les
sons from civilized countries. He did
not like missionaries, however. In 1885
he kept two Swedish missionaries prac-
tically prisoners in his chief town for
ten months, and then sent them back
TO the coast. Since then he has ex-

developed in the meantime. This time
1t had stretched only about four inches,
but had shrunk correspondingly in
breadth, forming a very close fit about
the hips and shoulders. Once more 1t
