The evening educational classes will be
unusually good this year. Prof. A. j..
Cadman will teach Penmanship, and
each week, at the close of the lesson, will
give thirty minute talk on commercial
law and business forms. This will be a
practical class iu every way. AT. Ben
son, principal of the Washington scnool,
will have the class in Arithmetic and the
work done will be thorough and most
helpful.
Miss Swartz, instructor in music in the
city schools, will direct the work in Vocal
Music. This work will cover tone p!ac-
ing and sight reading, and general chorus
work. The number of students in this
class is limited to twelve. 1t will be an
attraction and of benefit to all who take
it up. Another interesting feature will
be the Congress for the discussion of pres
ent day questions. In form this society
will be like the national congress.
This work will all be open next week
and the enrolment is being made now.
The cost to young men is very little when
the quality of the work is considered
Membership in the Association is the first
consideration, then the tuition will be
$lO0 for each class except for vocal
music which will be $500.
Thomas McClary will give the second
number of the Star Course on Wednesday
evening, Dec IA, in the Congregational
church. The subject of the lecture will
be Sunshine in Labor" and brighter
and more helpful lecture was never given
in Owosso.
> Last Sunday, "Men," the international
Y. M. G. A. magazine, was the subject at
the o'clock service. Many interesting
facts were brought out regarding it. An
effort is being made to secure 10000 new
subscribers for the paper this month.

L.ncing a FeIon.

Dr. stiyers of New York had large
dispensary clinic, and rarely Gay
passed that one or more cases OF teion
did not appear. "It won't hurt' was
always his comforting assurance 10 inc
natient if the latter made any outcry.
"Put your finger down there, " indicat-
ing the edge of ths table, "and Keep
stiIl!' he commanded, and patients, as
a rule. made little fuss. DR.. Stivers once
had felon OF his left forefinger. he
poulticed it for about week, ana
walked the floor with pain at night. AT
last he went TO his assistant surgeon,
who said gravely, "That ought to have
been lanced BEFORE"
Possibly-but''-- said DR.. Stivers'
and then, with a long breath-"per-
haps you'd better lance it now"
"Certainly, said the assistant sur
geon. "Put your finger on the table.
DIR. Stivers complied, and with face
as white as paper watched the knife.
"Be GENTLE" he cautioned. "That's an
awful sore fingerP'
sit won't hurt" remarked the as
slstant surgeon, anu tne shai y sCooi uo'
scended. There was howl OF agony
from DR. Stivers, and with his finger
in his other land nc danced about the
room crying, "Oh, OH, oh'
"Wby," remarked the assistant sur
geon, 81 have heard you tell patients
hundreds of times th~t it didn't hurt TIC

"No doubt, no doubt yoa have, F"
groaned DIR. Stivers, "but that depends
on which END of the knife man is at. "

The Indian is rivaling the ground
hog in popular favor as a weather
prophet, says the Detroit Journal
He predicts bad winter, and in this
is backed by many signs The turkeys
come home earlier and the leaves
dropped ahead of time. The first
frost did not disappear until the sun
shone on it, and the winter apples
dropped off their stems. The coats of
the dogs came in shaggier than usual,
and house birds moulted late. All
these are signs not to be ignored.
1t is generally conceded that the
average Indian is an unfailing wealth
er prophet, because of his close obser-
walton. During the past few years
several Sioux indians, who aspire to
be great prophets, have each fall pre-
dicted that the approaching wiuter
would be a terrible one. Their fears
were not realized however, and now
their predictions center on this winter.
The past winters have been remark
able for their mildness throughout the
northwest. This is shown by the fact
that tens Of thousands of cattle have
grazed on the range all the year around
and no losses have occurred, except
from ordinary causes. The Indians
who prove to be false prophets on
many occasions have not hesitated
to acknowledge their error, but say
that the predictions for the coming
winter will certainly prove true.
They maintain that all the "signs"
have never been so favorable for an
old-time Dakota winter as now, and
what Dakota gets the rest Of the coun-
try generally tastes little later, for
Dakota is the weather breeder of the
United States.
DdhOJd ldt ulClb ouy Iudl Uiic huoho
on the corn were unusually thick;
summer birds journeyed southwark
much earlier than customary, and
other unfailing guides of nature all
point to the fulfillment of their proph-
ecies.
Curiously enough, settlers and stock
men west of the Missouri river this
season also arrived at the conclusion
that mild winters are thing of the
past for time at least-and have
been making preparations accordingly.
Those of them who live in sections
where grass was long enough to cut,
have put up every available pound of
hay, and sheds that have been unoc-
cupied for several winters are being
prepared for the reception Of stock,
if blizzard comes along and renders
it impossible for cattle to remain on
the open range.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallOw, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet are
afflicted with kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to parsnir
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer
from sleeplessness. rheumatism, neuralgia,
brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and some
times the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
does not find out what the trouble Is until IL
is almost too late, because the first symp-
toms are so like mild sickness that they dc
not think they need medicine or doctor
until they find themselves sick In bed.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root will bcild up
and strengthen their weak and diseased kid
neys, purify their diseased, kidney poisoned
blood. clear their complexion and soon they
will enjoy better health,

oisn.. r.L. to water.

The story is told OF Santa Fe
lineman who was working on the
prairie in the short grass country
when heavy rain suddenly came
up. There was no shelter within
several miles for him to make for,
SO he stood at the foot OF the ,ele-
graph pole and waited. The track
was graded and the pole stood in a
ditch about twenty feet wide and
six or seven feet below the level Of
the track. The winds came and
the rain descended, and the ditch
commenced to fill up with water
The lineman did not want to get
wet, SO he decided to climb to the
top OF the pole until the water ran
off. He climbed up and, sitting in
the cross trees, he watched the
water climbing higher and higher
on the pole, and laughed to him
self to think how he had escaped it.
He laughed until it dawned upon
him that the water was running
into the basin from the surround
ing slopes and that it would not
run off there. There was about
ten feet of water and the man could
not swim. The fact was he was
"shipwrecked" on the rolling swells
of the prairie and not even "prai-
rie schooner" in sight to rescue
him. He took off his coat and re-
solved to flag the first train. Soon
along came freight winding SLOW
ly over the prairie. He easily
caught the engineers eye, and
when the pole was reached the en-
gineer stopped and asked what was
the matter.
al want to be rescued" said the
man on the pole.
"Well, swim over here and we
will pull you into town"
"But can't swim" So long
board was gotten off Of one OF the
Hat cars half way up the pole and
the man up the pole slid over to
the car, with the addition OF few
slvers, vowing he would always
stay on dry land.
