Three Oaks, July 15.-The village of
Three Oaks has won the cannon which

1000 people, raised 81 1872, representing
more than one dollar per capita. Three
Oaks entered the contest with consid-
cradle spirit and determination. The
village officials began a campaign,
adopting the motto: three Oaks
against the world" and started the
subscription list with liberal figures
opposite their names. business men
and private citizens added their de-
termination with the result that on
Friday the announcement came from
the committee that the trophy of war
would be shipped here at once.

of at least $4,000 a year to the taxpay-

point was raised whether an officer could
make an arrest, give testimony, and re-

The supreme court says there is moth
ing in the statute to indicate it. and de-
cides that relator is entitled to but one
fee. That decision affects every coun-

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's recent pubic
declaration that a man should give
away his riches before he dies has set
one OF the enterprising newspapers to
wOfA trying to get opinions on this
subject from other American million
aires. They did not To any great ex-
tent fight shy OF 1t, and the result as
set forth In print leads TO the surpris-
ing conclusion that the American mil.
lionaire. as rule, is actuated by a
burning desire TO give away all that he
has, only he cannot find the proper
channel of distribution. Mr.. John ID.
Rockefeller is credited with saying,
II do not believe that there Is a man
in this country today with million
dollars beyond his own personal and
business needs who would not gladly
give ii to any object that he felt per-
nifty" This is a valuable piece Of ia
formation, and while it does not pre-
sent a very favorable picture Of the
community il nevertheless overturns
some of our previous notions. 1t Is
specially fatal to that widely held opin
ion that the more money man gets
the more he wants. If Mr.. Rockefeller
is right, the more he gets the more he
wants to give 1t away. Instead of the
acquisition Of gold, when it becomes
the main object of life, making a man
misery, it, on the contrary. broadens
and deepens his generosity and LIBERAL
ity. In fact, with this new light on the
subject, we see that in order to learn
how valuable money is to other people
one must devote his life to snatching it
for himself. 1t may certainly be set
down as fact that no man but a mil
lionaire is eaten up by desire to give
away all that he has. If Mr. Rockefel-
Ter expects the hard working and av-
erage American to swallow this "taf-
feta" at gulp, he is very much mis-
taken. There are certain facts in hui
man nature that are dead against his
conclusion, and one is that if a man
begins business with a particularly
generous nature and a moderate
knowledge of the amount of need
there is in the world hG will never be-
come millionaire. Tie question has
been impertinently asked by the So
cialsts, and it has never been salts
factOrily answered, Can a man in an
ordinary lifetime make hundred mil
lion dollars honestly and give an
equivalent for it," 1t is not at all i'm
proper, in view Of Mr.. Rockefeller's
statement, TO answer that question TO
this extent: No man can make a hun
dred millions who begins with the
proposition that he is willing to give
all over and above his personal needs
to the community. Once admit the
statement and there would not be a
millionaire in the land

REFUSE TO PAY BOUNTY.
Abe Michigan Onicials Reject the
Claims Set Up by the Sugar
Manufacturer.

Lansing, July IA. = The issues be-
tween the state and manufacturers of
beet sugar as to the constitutionality
of the one cent pound bounty law of
1897 is now squarely drawn and the
question will shortly be taken to the
courts for adjudication. Two years
ago the legislature enacted law pro-
viding for the payment of the bounty
mentioned for all beet sugar manufac-
tured in Michigan during the ensuing
seven years. At the same time there
was enacted a law appropriating $780,
900 for the payment of bounties earned
during the year 1898, this law contain
ing provision that all sums earned in
excess of the sum named should be
paid out of the general fund of the
state. Attorney General Oren says
that the question of the right of the
state to pay bounties in aid of purely
industrial enterprises has come before
the legislature at various times since
the adoption of the constitution of 1850,
and in some instances legislation was
enacted along lines similar TO the pres
ent beet sugar act. Reference is made
to the salt bounty of 1859. The consti-
nationality of this act was never
brought in question before the courts
and was apparently acquiesced in and
stood without protest until its final re-
peal. Acting on the advice received
Auditor General Dix will refuse to is
sue the warrant and the sugar company
will apply for mandamus to compel
him to do so. The case cannot be
brought before the supreme court un-

The celebration of the Fourth of July
this year was far more earnestly patri-
otic in the small towns of the central
and western states than it was in the
large cities of the east, where ii ex-
pended itself In meaningless morse and
ordinary outdoor games. But in many
of the lesser towns and quieter ham,
lets of the country the Declaration of
Independence was read with solemn
sincerity, and local orators famed the
old flames of patriotism. And this is
as it should be. The Fourth of July
is the nations chronological altar,
where we ought to bring our children
and tell them over all those hack
neyed things which will live forever.

said:
"Bobby, did you ever hear about

mo, I never heard of him."
Bobby, I went to mission sGhool
once. and they told us that Jesus
would take you to heaven when you
die, and you'd never hunger any
more, and have no more pain, If you
axed him."
II couldn't ak such a big gentleman
as he to do anything for me. ne
wouldn't stop to speak to a BOY ike
me-"
"But he'll do all that if you ak
him."
"How can I ak him if I don't know
where he lives. and how can l get
there when both of my legs are brok-
en-"
"Bobby, they told me at the mission
school as how Jesus passes by. reach
er saws as how he goes around. How
do YOU know but what he might come
around to this hospital tonight!
You'd know him if you was to see
him."
"But I can't keep my eyes open.

he'll know what you want when he

They got the hand up. 1t dropped.

Three times he got up the little hand,
only to let it fall. Bursting into tears,
he said, "I'll give it up"
Bobby, lend me yer hand; put yer

it,"
So one hand was propped up. And
when they came in the morning. the
boy lay dead, with his hand still held
up for Jesus. You may search the

illustration of simple trust than that
of the little boy who had been to mis-

ADAMS APPLE.
The Number Which He and Eve Ate
ON a Historic Occasion.

ON a Historic Occasion.
Probably our great ancestor, Adam,
little thought of the trouble he would
cause posterity by eating an apple.
But now the question as to how many
apples he really did eat Is new difficult
ty.
How many apples did Adam and
Eve eat2 Was il one or was it mil
lions? When the subject was first
mooted the editor very naturally re
piled, "Why,. one of course"
mo-" said the assistant editor, "Eve
ate one, and Adam ate one too /; that's
two.n
Then the sub-editor passed along 6
slip of paper on which was written
1--we 81 and Adam 81, making 1872"
But the pOet, who Is man Of imag.
ination, capped this with, "Eve 81 and
Adam 81 -893."
Then the publisher tried his hand
and bis contribution was, "Eve 8, 14s
see how 1t tasted, and Adam 812
equals 1854"
The poet, who dislikes being sur.
passed as much as he hates BARRIERS
came up to the scratch again with
"Eve S,142 set how it tasted, and
Adam 1922 keep her company-Ss,'
1884,"
Then the humorist who had been
listening, quietly handed in his con.
tribution, "Eve 8,142 see how 1t tasted,
and Adam 8,124 ,210-der husband was
he to see her eat alone. This equals
s,132,352."
but he had another object" said
the poet. "Eve s,142 satisfy her curl.
osity, and Adam 8,M2, 240-fy Eve In
her position. That makes S,132, 1892"
