Learn TO be MethodicnI.

Every man or woman who has
amounted to much has been dstin-
guished early by a power to work hard.
Genius alternates periods of frantic
application with spells of idleness in
which spent forces recover tone; but
talent proceeds more steadily and
smoothly. Its rests are regular and
its work more methodical. Without
method IL is lost, and | believe there
is no more certain sign of superior
ability in a child than an innate ten
dency TO methodize his labors and the
disposal of his time. In order to bring
to frutition any germ of this healthy
and beautiful faculty teach the little
one from his earliest years to be reg
ular i'm all his habits: not merely to
have place for his belongings, but a
special hour for special duties. En-
courage him TO regulate his life in ac-
cordance with rules which he himself
has chosen Let him experiment and
find out the defects of his system, that
he may reform ii continually, until he
has arranged one that can stand

4 Warm Lawsuit Results From
Horse Deal

Horse trades have been responsible
for great deal of trouble in this
world in the past and perhaps will
continue to do so i'm the future. A
lawsuit which took place in Justice
Lapham's Court last Saturday was the
outcome of one. Some months ago il
seems that Frank Gordon, a farmer
resident of the township of Easton of
good repute and standing sold a nag
to Edward Porter of this city in con-
sideration of 800 in cash of the realm,
duly paid. The horse was very good
locker but after possessing the ami
NAL for time Porter found it had
very serious defect and he be-
came very sore as he thought it
over. He finally begun suit against
Gordon claiming misrepresentation
had been used TO effect the sale.
The case was tried as aforesaid Sat-
urday before jury and their verdict
was that Mr. Porter was entitled to
and should receive $33 as damages.
Eighteen witnesses were sworn and
put on the stand to tell what they
knew about it, and |. Il. Hubbell, city
and James Scully of Ionia were attor-
neys for Gordon while Mr.. Mcbride of
Grand Rapids and II. l.. VanBen-
schoten, city represented Porter.
Gordon has appealed the case to the
circuit court, and as is usual in law
suits it will prettycertainly cost both
sides the price Of several such horses
before the affair is ended.
Porter became so worked up over
the case Saturday that he could not
resist going to Nincents store Satur-
day evening and throwing it into"
the Vincents, as he claimed they had
been making some remarks deroga
tory to himself As a result of this
little diversion Justice Moulton is
sued warrant charging him with the
use of vulgar and obscene language
in the presence Of women and child
rem. He paid a fine and costs amount

Interest in the two hundredth an
niversary of the landing of Cadillac
at Detroit has grown TO enormous
proportions and the three days of the
celebration are so filed in with inter-
esting events that each day seems
better than the other, to use famil-
lar "bull" There will be lot of
historic interest in following the
iloatilla of Cadillac and mis- adventur-
Gus band down the river to the land
ing at Randolph St. There will be as
much in the parade of nations the
next day when each of the twenty-one
nationalities or races is to show its
progress from two centuries ago un-
til today. 1t is generally conceded,
however, that the Flower Day parade
and the night pageant on the 26th of
July will be the grandest feature of
all and those who have been per-
mitted TO see the floats, which will
then traverse the streets of the city,
ON railway trucks, say they will com
pei the admiration of every one.

THREATENS FLOUR INDUSTRY
Destructive Moth InVades North
ern Flour Mills.


The dreaded Mediterranean moth
has established itself 10 the -four
mills of Wisconsin. and it looks
as though it would be rs effective
as the Flour Trust in closing some
fof them.
The moth was first discovered
in those works at Superior, Wis,
which have been lying idle since
the collapse of the Mcintyre Trust.
The insect IRultiplies at 81 en-
ormOus rate. evidently feeding on
the -four dnst. They are destroying
the actual mill building by weaving
webs IN the machinery, the dust
collectors and chuteS.
In one of the mills at Superior
the moths were so thick in the
wooden chutes that these had to
be burned.
What must be the condition of
the -four that has passed through
these worm chOked refineriesf AS
the wheat berry is ground, win
moved, sifted and distributed it
seems impossible that countless
moth eggs and worms should not
be swept along with the -four into
the bags and barrels placed to re-
ceive it.
The moths are carried from mill
to mill through the Interchange of
bags end sacks, and thus the pest
may be spread through the entire
milling country OF the Northwest.
The Duluth millers are much
worried over the increase of the
moth and fear that it may be car
ried into their mills. The insect
has not yet been found in the Min
nsapolis mills, and all the -four
companies there are doing all in
their power to- guard against its
spread.
The -four made in these mills is
shipped all over the United States,
and to foreign countries also. Thus
the moth eggs and worms may be
carried into every agricultural dis
trict.
The gypsy moth, one Of the
scourges of the farmer in every
State, was brought here first in the
form Of few eggs fastened to a
bit Of paper.
Thousands Of dollars have been
offered for something that will ex.
terminate the gypsy moth, aud its
cousin Of the Mediterranean is EVIL
dently hard at work trying to
break this record.

"The first great blessing Of my
life was being born poor" These
cords were uttered recently by
Charles M.Schwab, president Of the
pew billion dollar steel trust, in
en- interview with an inquiring
news writer who wanted to know
what was the secret of the great
millionaire'S success. Mr.. Schwab
Is another Of the numerous Amer
lean miIlionaireS who have risen
from the work bench, ard dotted
the workman's apron, for the at

clares that "pOverty combined
with grip" is what did it. Every
poor boy should read bis inspiring
works and take courage. 1t is not
the boy whe wastes his time be-
Wailing his lot, and declaring he
never has a chance, but the one
who accepts his lot without com.
plant aud goes to work vigorously
to make his own chance, that will
succeed. The testimony of most
of the shining examples of success
is distinctly against the luck theo-
