One of the neatest little shows
given in the Grand Opera House for
some time took place last evening,
when Weaver,s Pickaninny Ministries
gave an entertainment. They came
here unheralded, but they gave as
satisfactory a performance as we
have seen for sometime. The cake
walk by the coon kids was Just
immense and the singing and dancing
was all goOd.-Muncie, Ind,

A number of ladies in town were
recently imposed upon by a smooth
rascal who pretended to represent a
leading magazine. For a dollar he
agreed to give tiattering write-up of
the ladies' husbands, their standing in
their professions, successes, etc, and
in a very short time had gathered
together quite a fat purse. The next
issue of the magazine was scrutinized
very carefully for the promised write
up. but none appeared. "Nanity,
vanity, All is vanity, saith the preach
err" and it is expensive, too, at a
dollar a head.

in this life. He still clings to the
pleasant memories of Grand Rapids

Those persons who were conspicuous
in kicking when the city Of Grand
Rapids put in the stone wall from E.
T. Bodette's shoe shop to the COngre-
gational church several years ago can
now see what position they were in.
That same wall during the recent
flood saved the city from damage
exceeding twice the cost of the wall
in this one instance. Had it not been
for this improvement our main street
would have been flooded as it was in
1880, and everyone who was living here
then, can recall the damage done at
that time. We would suggest that
the City Fathers make like protect
ion wall at the eddy where the waters
enter the creek this side of D. M.
HuntingtonS place. 1t was at cOnsid-
cradle expense and anxiety that
portion of our city was saved from
greaJ damage during the high water
of tt e past week through this water
channel and another year should not
go y without this necessary imprOv-
melt beng made for we know not
how soon another flood may Oyertake

Melam Weingardner of Saratoga
was summoned before Justice Crotteau
Monday charged with stealing flour
from Mrs. John Hamm'S store in
Grand Rapids. The value of the flour
stolen was about 81 % and the evidence
against him was conclusive, so he
threw himself upon the clemency of
the court, who fined him including
costs S1S,4S which sum was promptly
paid by the defendant. Besides the
disgrace of the act, it was a dead
failure from q financial standpoint,
and as he is a fairly well-to-dO farmer
his motive for the deed seems incom-
prehenSible.

GYMNASTICS FOR THE BoUDo1R.
Ten Minutes a Day Gives Health
and Supple Figures.

and Supple Figures.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
It is one of the wise laws Of the uni
verse that habits, good and bad are self
acting when once formed This is espe-
cialIy and happily true with healthful
habits of exercise. We should all of US
take a wise amount of exercise each day.
There is hardly young woman Of this
present generation who does not appre-
ciate the Importance and understand the
pleasure of taking some exercise either In
gymnasiums or in private lessons. Every
woman is DESTROYS of having a perfect
figure, and she could easily add to this a
graceful walk and a fine carriage If she
understood the proper course to pursue.
Women are constantly asking: How
shall 1 reduce my flesh? How shall
make my waist smaller? How can 1 de-
Velop my buSt?" and many other such
questions. They will take a course In
Delsarte, fencing, Swedish gymnastics
and club swinging. They will practice
faithfully between each lesson, but just
as soor as the course is finished they lose
their interest and after few days give
it all up. Often the woman has no time
or is teo lazy or she forgets the exercises.
Ten minutes each night or ten minutes
each morning Is very little time to spend
on good health and a fire figure. A
woman spends moro time than that bath,
Ing her face or dressing her hair or
making up" Why not spend at least
ten minutes in rounding out her figure
and expelling waste matter of the body
through her lungs? l know a girl who
actually spends twenty-five minutes each
morning in dressing her hair, but when
she was advised to take a few minutes
for a shouldcr-blade exercise to flarten
her back she declared she really couldn't
afford the time; she was too sleepy at
night and she couldn't bother to take off
her corsets in the daytime.
Another girl of my acquaintance tugs
at her corset strings to make her waist
small Till she has a red nose and her
figure is both stiff and ugly She would
sacrifice her complexion for a small
waist. but she would not take ten min
utes' healthful exercise to make her waist
muscles compact, besides getting good
red blood and pink cheeks, bright ewes
and clear skin.
But there are many girls who would
gladly take the proper exercise If thew
only knew what to do A girl should ex-
ercise Tor the whole figure, and not Just
for one part. There should be harmony
In the whole body. The object of exer,
else is to put on muscle If there ia
f1abby flesh in any part ard it is turned
into solid muscle the flesh. will be re,
duced because fat has been changed into
muscle through exercise. If a person is
pony and exercise is taken Well-rounded
muscle is formed to cover the bones ana
the person appears fatter
