The Sunday school Convention.

The township Sunday school conven-
tion held at the church of Christ last
Saturday afternoon and evening was
the most successful meeting that has
been held since the Sunday schools of
the township have been organized to-
gether for convention purposes. From
| first to last, every number on the pro-
gram was ready on time, the papers
were instructive and interesting and
the discussions were profitable.
The platform meeting in the evening
was a decided success and, with sin
gle exception, the five speakers adver-
tised were ready to fulfill their parts.
Mr.. Free not being present, Rev. f. K.
Black of Buchanan kindly consented
| to fill the vacancy, which he did very
acceptably.
The music, under the leadership of
Miss Neville, was enthusiastic and in
spring.
Where all the papers read were of
such high order, it seems invidious to
mention any one in particular, but If
every young man in Paw Paw could
have listened to Harry Shows paper on
Temperance" it would have given
them matter for profitable reflection. .
Steps were taken looking to the
organization of local Sunday school
teachers union, and all interested in
such a society, and especially the Off
GERS and teachers of the several Sunday
schools of the place, are expected to
meet at the parlors of the Presbyterian
church tomorrow evening Immediately
after prayer meeting.
Plans were also inaugurated looking
to thorough house to house canvass
of the village and township in the in
terest of church and Sunday school
work.
The following named persons were
chosen as officers of the organization
for the current year: David Anderson
Jr., president; M. II. Pugsley, vice
president; Lizzie Roundy, secretary;
Lettie Douglas, treasurer; M. s. Waller,
j. w. Free and w. e. Y. Ferguson, ex-
ecutive committee.

HISTORY In Novcls.

Save in one o. two Of Coopcr's novels.
says Paul Leicester Ford in Tho Atlantic.
1t would bc well nigh impossible to find IL
romance dealing with Revolutionary his
tory which does not make the Wing of
that war the patriot and the Tory the dis.
loyal and usually evil acting man. Yet
the student Of history knows that tho
loyalists, if minority, were largely com
posed OF tho gentry and educated classes
of the country; were, in fact, the cquiva-
lent of what today arc termed the "bctter
clement, and were superior in character
to many of the men who opposed them.
No American novelist has yenturcd TO
write of John Hancock and Jonathan
Irumbull as men suspected of smuggling,
or of Samuel Adams rs n public man who
sought, as other officials have done moro
recently. to vindicate himself from the
charge of dcfalcation by an appeal to the
ballots of tho masses
Would any American author, striving
to writo popular fiction, daro to picture
one signer of the Declaration as selling
the secrets of his country to the French
ministry for paltry pension, or another
taking advantage OF information Of the
need of the continental cause for wheat to
corner the supply at once SO far us he was
able! In ono case alone have our writer's
dared to draw an approximately faithful
portrait of man who came to the front
III early Revolutionary days, to describe
the bounty jumper, dcscrtcr, smugglcr
ana drunkard, who nevertheless rose to
high honor in tho American cause, and
the reason for this exception is explained
when the name OF the man is given as

New York, Dec. 27.-The juuta this af

desperate battle which was fought on

killed just before the close of the battle
The fight took place near Bahia Honda
The Cnbans succeeded in landing n

He Played tho Heroic and Was Told TO
Get His Hair Cut.

When he was u boy, Alphonso Daudcts
father failed, and for some time the two
lveu together III poverty in Lyons. An
elder brother, Ernest, however, got n posi-
ton iii a glass store in Paris and finally,
when II years old, Alphonse went to live
with him and to try his fortunes in tho
great city. Erncst's wages amounted to
only $50 month, and Alphonsc brought
nothing with him from Lyons except about
40 cents and voracious appetite. IIc is
even said to have worn rubber boots OH
that memorable journey. The two broth
ers took lodgings in an attic and for sew
cral years led poverty stricken life.
Nothing, however, discouraged the two
lads. Both had confidence that there was
future in literature for Alphonsc, who
In these trying years wrote volume of
poems which he had succeeded in getting
printed. A copy of tho volume fell under
the eye OF Empress Eugcnic, who pcrsuad-
cd her brother-in- law, the Duke of NIorny,
TO hunt the young man up and help him.
Tho result of the empress interest in tho
young poet was that tho duke invited him
to call upon them. When Daudct entered,
the duke asked:
Can you writc:'
Yes, sir, " replied Dautlet
Every good. l w;At II secretary. Pay,

The hoy was nearly overcome. Tic had
never imagined that any one WAS paid that
much n ycar-about $1,000. But he sud
denly remembered that he differed iii poll
tics from the duke and drawing himself
up announced the fact
Instead of being deeply moved by his
heroic course, the duke said: .'Oh, 20 and

to be almost unacceptable. The 9TH
