Hicks August Forecast.

Rev Ira Hicks the weather prophet.
in his Augr forecasts says threatening
stormy weather may be expected in
many quarters as August comes in. AS
the moon does not pass the equator until
the Bird, a season of menacing storm con-
ditions may hover until after the Vulcan
storm period central on the 9th look for
a warm wave to eliminate in thun-
der storms followed by marked fall in
temperature. About the time of new
moon on the 18th conditions will develop
for clustering storms. He knows of no
reason why we should expect decided
change from very dry weather generally
in August. From 18th TO Goth many
severe summer storms may be appra-
Tended in various Larts of the interior.
On or about the goth equatorial storms
and cyclones will form that may sweep
the gulf coast The last four or five
DAYS of August running into the open

The probabilities are that generous
rains will visit many localities during
the closing storm period in August. es.
pecially should the heavy storms move

gulf A series of counter storms, as a
rule, come down from the polar regions,

to the dreadful visitation of drouth that

country, but England, France, Germany

A brilliant gathering was that given
by the l.. o. L. M. at their hall
Wednesday evening when nearly 800
gathered TO witness the installation OF
officers with Great Record Keeper
Emma Brewer of Ann Arbor as install
ing officer. At the close of the cere-
mony there was beautiful drill given
by 20 young ladies followed by neat
speech from the Lady Commander
elect, Mrs. Luella X. Webster. Then
Great Record Keeper Miss Brewer took
the chair holding the audience spell
bound with grand talk on fraternity
and whom its members should consist
Of Among other good things she said
"Do not let us be selfish. Are we not
all made alike? Am / here for an
ornament and you to work? Refuse
none who have good moral character,
and keep before you your obligations
that you so solemnly pledged. If you
do not mean it do not take it," Music
then followed by a ladies' quartette
composed of Mesdames Hudson, Fried
ly, Misses Luce and Hopkins, also a
solo with guitar accompaniment, by
Mrs. FREELY. The company were then
invited to the banquet room where an
elegant spread was laid, and after an
hours social converse, all departed
VOicinp the sentiment that the l.. O,
Il. NJ. were royal entertainers.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

Before next spring If the present
plans are carried out, and they probab-
ly will be, there will be ten routes Ia
operation in Ionia county, including
the one already established in Ionia,
as follows: Four out OF Ionia, two out
Of Portland, one out OF Muir, one out
OF Saranac, one out OF Lake Odessa,
and one out OF GAINESVILLE. One of the
Portland routes has already been es'
tabllshed.
Where does Bedding come in? Why
this seeming apathy regarding this
very important matter? The BANNER
has sounded note Of warning several
times that other towns all around us
are moving actively to secure routes
running from their offices while the
people Of Bedding and vicinity seem TO
be waiting for some one TO come along
and force them upon us.
The writer had the pleasure OF
meeting Mr.. +. +. Richards In lonia
last week, the representative OF the
postoi1ice department, who is called up
on TO investigate and report upon
routes petitioned for, His first words
were: ''What is the matter with Beld-
ing?" Assuring him that she was US
ually considered all right, he said
"Well If she don't get move on pref
ty quick she is going to regret it for
other towns are planning and pitition-
ing for free delivery routes running
right into her natural territory"
Now, if that state of affairs is agree
BILE and satisfactory to Belding business
men, the BANNER has nothing to say.
We can probably stand it if the rest
can, but it certainly seems to us very
short sighted policy and one that may
be the cause of much vain regret when
it is everlastingly too late.
In connection with the above we APP
pend letter received by one OF our
business men.

The Mule In Hypnotism.

careful, in the selection of his sub

who submitted to him for test that he
was a mule, and great merrimeut al
ways followed the mulish antics of the
victim while he was under the hyp-
motto influence. But one day, down in

and carried away by the strength Of

spell suddenly kicked out with great
violence and struck the hyprot:st in
the hand, fracturing one of the homes.

been no -hypnotic experiments OF any
sort, ard MIR. Carnaveaux has made up

lie sat opposite mirror and dis
covered that he had forgotten to
comb his hair. Then he dropped
his fork on the floor and as he
stopped to pick it up he upset his
coffee. Matters went from bad
to worse until finally in despair
the young man quit eating and
Eput his hands under the table.
The loose end of the table cloth
was lying in his lap and when
he touched it he turned pale. He
thoue ht it was his shirt and that
in his nervous excitement when
-f'.tH
dressing he had forgot to pat the
garment inside his trousers
That accounted for the smiles
and embarrassment. Thercw was
no time to loose. He hurricdlJ
stuffed the supposed shirt int
his trousers.
Ten minutes later when tn
family arose from the table Their
was a crash. The dishes lay il
a broken mass upon the floor
The young man pulled three fee
OF table cloth out of his pant
and fled through the back door
He is yet in the woods back Q
his home. The young woman h
called upon is open for engage
