Daniel Webster on the Bible.

Daniel Webster was not a profess
ing Christian, but he placed the high
est value on the Bible. Concerning
il he once said: eff we abide by the
principles taught in the Bible, our
country will go on prospecting, but if
we and our posterity neglect it's in
structions and authority no man can
tell how sudden a catastrophe may
overwhelm us and bury all our glory
in profound obscurity." Again he
said: ST have read it through many
times. I now make a practice of GO
ing through it once a year. 1t is a
book, of all others, for lawyers and
divines, and pity the man who can
not find in it rich supply of thought
and rules for conduct. From the time
at my mothers feet or on my fathers
knee 1 first learned to lisp verses from
the sacred writings they have been
my daily and vigilant contemplation.
If there be anything in my style or
thought to be commended, the credit
is due to my kind parents for instilling
into my mind an early love of the
scriptures.

''How can you afford these books?''

friend; 81 can't seem to find spare

"Oh, that library is only my zone
cigar day" was the reply.
s"What do you mean?" inquired the
visitor.
"Mean? Just this: When you ad-
vised me to indulge in an occasional
cigar several years ago, had been
reading about a young fellow who
bought books with money that others
would have burned in cigars, and I
thought / would do the same. You
may remember that 1 said I should
allow myself one cigar day?'

don't quite see the connection
"Well, never smoked, but 1 put by
the price of fve-cent cigar every
day, and as the money accumulated
bought books-the very books you
see.''
"You don't mean to say that your
books cost no more than that! Why,
there are dollars worth of them.s'

years more of my apprenticeship to
serve when you advised me 'to be a
man. put by the money which at
five cents day amounted to $18.25 a

those books by themselves as result
of my apprenticeship cigar money;

been better off in health and self
respect besides"

The Way to Overcome Fear of Darkness

The Way to Overcome Fear of Darkness
Ask yourself if it is tangible dan
ger you fear, or if it is simply night
itself. Sleep in either case with low
shaded light in your room. Satisfy
your mind that you have no reason
to be afraid, by that investigation of
closets and the limbo under the bed
at which the brave are inclined to
laugh. Exert your will to conquer
this bondage, and also say your pray
ers and take comfort in knowing that
God hears you. The darkness and the
light are both alike to Him.-Lddies'

Never Forget the Note of Thanks.

Be sure to send a note of thanks
or gift received at the earliest pos
IDLE moment. Write it before your
ardor cools. Make it hearty sponta-
neous, enthusiastic. You need not
be insincere. Even if you do not like
the git you must like the spirit that
prompted it. Never defer writing
with the lea that you will thank the
giver i rerson. You may do that as
well @ n. n opportunity offers, but do
rot risk delay Nothing is more dis
c ,urte"us than helated thanks.-La-

They Keep at 1T.

"Have you ever noticed" said a
man who has studied the advertising
field thoroughly for the past twenty
years, "the persistency with which
long established business concerns
that have been successful continued
their advertising year in and year out?
"Run over in your mind the proprie
tary preparations, the foods, the Ia
Dor saving devices that have been
put on the market and have achieve d
large sales and you will find that they
are advertised as vigorously now as
they were ten or fifteen years ago.
The newer concerns become discour-
aged easily and after spending a few
thousand dollars drop out of sight.
They are not content to build up
their business slowly. They want to
achieve success at the start. Large
business enterprises are not, as a
rule, money makers at the start.''

POLLOCK-ROSEVELT.

1t was genuine surprise that Miss
Pearl Roosevelt and Mr.. Will Pollock
sprung upon their friends last
Friday evening by being united in
marriage The surprise came not so
much in the wedding itself as it was in
the time, no one anticipating 1t was to
be so soon. The ceremony was per-
formed at his rooms in the Spencer
block by Rev. A. o. Carman, two
couples only besides the contracting
parties being present. They will oc-
cupy the rooms for the present, and
both are continuing their usual duties,
he as the popular salesman at the City
Shoe store, and she as one of the teach
ers in the city schools. Both have
been residents here for years and
among the best known and most pop
ular young people In the city. Mrs.
Pollock is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. S. Roosevelt, a graduate OF
the Bedding high school and since then
one of the most popular and efficient
teachers. We don't see any other
way but what we shall have to forgive
them this time and BANNER certainly
joins with all their large circle OF
friends in wishing them long and
prosperous life.

ELECTRIC ROAD MATTERS.

The ordinance containing the fran
chise OF the Grand Rapids & Bedding
electric road inside of the city limits
which was passed by the city council
recently, and has now been accepted
by the company, appears elsewhere in
this issue OF the BANNER. People are
anxiously inquiring every day for news
regarding the construction of this road
but there is no news. Everything is
now Ringing upon the finances. All
the preliminary work to actual con-
struction has been practically COM
pleted, but the money has not yet been
secured. Much encouragement has
been received from different sources
but nothing is certain. 1t is said that
the other electric road projected from
Grand Rapids to Saginaw which is via
Lowell, Saranac, Ionia, Palo, Crystal
and Ithaca, will have representative
here before long to ask for franchise
for branch OF their line from Lowell
to Bedding. That would not be ar
as satisfactory to our people, unless
they would agree to continue said
branch to Palo and connect there with
the other line. What we want is a
line that will be built on east or north
east from Bedding.

THE SUIT COMMENCED.

The damage suit OF Alta j. Hall
sum OF SIC, 900 was officially commenced
in the circuit court last week and III
looks now as il we were in for a con-
test sure. The return day is Satur-
day of this week when answer will be
made on behalf OF the city and we UNI
derstand the same is all ready. Law
suits are hardly desirable things but
there are times when they seem un-
avoidable and this Is one of those times
as far as the city is concerned. Many
good friends OF Mr.. Hall express dis
appointment in the fact that suit has
been commenced, believing he has no
legal or just claim against the city,
and that his calmer judgment would
cause him to see 1t in that light. AS
general rule there are two factions
in such matters one favoring the
claimant and the other the corpora
tion, but it is noteworthy in this mat
ter how universally and with unanim-
ity the people of the city and even
many OF his own neighbors also, con-
denim this action as ill-advised and un-
wise. The city council has authorized
the employment of what legal assist
ance may be necessary for the city at
torney but none has been engaged as
yet. N. o. Griswold of Greenville is
attorney for Mr.. Hall.
