Mr.. and Mrs. Frank VandenbrOOk

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Vandenbrook
returned recently from Green Bay
where they had been to attend the
funeral of their father, Peter Vanden-
brook. 1t appears that while driving
his dray on the streets of Green Bay,
Friday, he was stricken with apopleXy
and fell off the seat to the ground
dead. He was So years of age and was
highly thought of in the city of Green
Bay where he has lived many years.
He leaves one daughter and three sons
to mourn bis sudden taking off. His
daughter Nellie and two sons Will
and Henry reside in Green Bay and
his sou Frank resides in this city.
The funeral service was held at the
Catholic church in Green Bay Satur-
day, December the 9Th. They have
the sympathy of many friends in
Grand Rapids in this hour of their
bereavement.
One Of the preachers best friends,
says a Boston journal, is the old
fashioned and despised saw horse. 1t
is not exactly thing of beauty. and
there are few to proclaim its excel
lence; but it may become vertible
tonic, or nervine, and as a recrea tion
will rival golf, or tennis, or baseball.
1t is a great friend to meditation.
The rhymatic movement of the gently
gliding saw is both a mental and
physical stimulus, while the mild
resistance Of beech or maple is sure to
induce the grateful moisture upon
the redeemed brow, and to impaTt a
relish to the humblest meal. In the
spring of the year it may be safely
recommended as one of the best liver
invigorators known, and as blood
purifier it is not excelled. 1t can be
taken in doses suited to the patients
needs

John Bull Lays All the Blame for Pre-

London, December 12Thc foreign office
informs the Associated Press that the Brit
ish government disclalms responsibility for
the sinking of the Venezuelan vessels or
La Guayrn, which 1t entirely attributes to
the German forces
1t is understood that nearly oil the venc-
zuelan news which the British government
gets comes through the state department at
Washington, and is based upon Miuister
Bowers messages. The foreign office here,
so far, however, has received no trace o.
the reply to the demands OF Great Britain
aud Germany which Venezuela is reported
to have transmitted to those powers through
the United states consul at La Guuyra,
though IL mas received copy Of President
Captro's proclamation. The foreign Off
clals also said they had not received intor-
nation that Venezuela had requested Minis
ter Bowen to act as arbitrator. They think
1t is not likely that the proposition has
been made, but If such is the cRse they do
not consider that arbitration at this stage
would be acceptable to Great Britain.

cede from His Position.
London, December 13.The Venezuelan
crisis is regarded less seriously here this
morning. Lord Lansdowne's speech Is held
TO show that the situation is in no way
alarming, and although the opinion Is ex'
pressed that President Castro's reported re-
quest for arbitration has come too late,
this step on his part is welcomed as proof
of his anxiety TO withdraw from his posi-
ton.
