Chinese Sur and Moon.

In China the sun and moon are
brother and sister. The moon is the
elder brother who looks after his rath-
er silly sister. the sun. This is exactly
the reverse of our legends, which make
the sun the day king and the gentle
moon lady of the night.
One day in China. SO the legend runs,
the sun asked the moon if she couldn't
go out at night. The moon answered
very sternly: "No. You are a young
lady, and ii would be improper for you
to go out after dark" Then the sun
said, But the people keep looking at
me when | go cut in the daytime" So
the moon told her to take the golden
needles that she wore in her hair and
stick them into the eyes of people
when they stared at her. This is the
reason why no one can look at the sun
without pain.

Has Lawrence the prettiest Site

Are her shipping facilities, telegraph

on the best site for the capital of the
county, Have we one of the most
potential and best idle water powers in
the county?
Have we not clay beds, finest quality
accessible for walling or draining the en-
tire commonwealth of Van Buren, county?
Have we elegant sites for factories and
other money making enterprises and but
one in operation? Have we rich bottom
lands, which judiciously managed would
supply creamery or cheese factory to
the extent of 100 tons capacity? Are we
really in the center of the famous fruit
belt; are all of high rolling lands the
richest and most superior for successful
fruit growing?
Have we the thousands of acres of land
in the heart of the sugar belt capable of
producing beets which analysed have
given as large a percentage as has been
given in sascharine qualities, in tonnage,
purity and of sufficient acreage to supply
a $50 ton factory? Have we lakes for
fishing and bunting most beautiful? Is
our gravel supply unlimited? If these
