The Born Commnnaer

His parents proudly looked at him
When he in childhood lay,
And marveled at his strength OF Jaw.
And wondered at the way
His brow projected Ger his eyes,
And clasped each others haads,
And said; " tbs plain enough that he
Was born to give commands"
He rides down through the streets TO-DAY
And Oft he lifts his hand
And fiercely Jerks the rope above
His head and gives command
He cries: Move up IN frontr' and when
Forgetful women dare
To Hotter on the step he yeIls:

Chocolates.

In South America the retail price for
the better grades Of chocolate averages
about 81 pound, while In Italy,
France, England and in the United
States the better grades sell at much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate OF trade sells for about one
third Of the price that is charged for il
where IL Is produced. The cause OF
this, the producers say, is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching its final market, a
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion OF 90
per cent of the chocolates of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
is manufactured is produced in its fin
est form In Venezuela, though various
other parts of Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops of the bean are gathered
each year, and the manufacture con-
sists simply in grinding up the beans
into IA meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary flavor,
usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass
is moistened until it is in semihuid
state, after which it is run into molds
of the proper shape.

Among other things for which our lit
tie burg is noted, is its large number of
secret societies. The last one to come
into prominence is the "Sons of Rest. F"
The membership is largely married men
and the chief objects are discretion to-
ward work and strict observance of the
curfew ordinance. Whenever a married
man fails to report at his domicile at the
regular hour, the members are, by re-
quest of the mans wife, expected to turn
out en- masse and ascertain the cause and
see that the delinquent member is
properly returned to his household. The
order has three officers: Pres, John
Hunt; sec'y, Albert Newkirk; treas, VIM.
Miller. Upon them rests the responsible
ity of all members; each is bound by an
iron clad pledge to protect the members.
The first important and heart rending
duties were exemplifled last Monday
night, when the secretary failed to re-
port at curfew time. True to his pledge,
the president sailed forth (by special
request) and, after diligent search and
inquiry, found at II o'clock the lamented
secretary peacefully engaged at the
depot, in sending telegraph messages for
las he said machinery supplies. Said
secretary was taken tenderly and suspi-
ciously to his home and warned against a
repetition of so grave an offense. 1t
would seem that the field is open for
great possibilities and Improvement. We
would suggest that the officers come to
Paw Paw and organize a similar society.

People who only know the gayer side
of Dieppe would be surprised to hear
of the existence of the cave dwellers
there. One is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements Of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within a stones
throw Of the casino. and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the shellfish from the rocks outside
their habitations. They have certain
marked chara cteristics, one being a Pc
culiar complexion Of their own that
can be traced largely to a disinclina-
ton on the part of the cave dweller to
avail himself Of the water that washes
so close to his door. Their language
also is peculiar, but whether it really
belongs to the stone age no one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold
a license from the municipality, though,
which savors Of no age but the present.
