He swung the Lantern.

A southern senator was at one time
counsel for small railroad. At a
point on the line where it crossed a
prominent highway they had an old
negro Waterman, whose duties consist
ed in warning travellers of the APP
proach of trains. One night a farm
ers wagon was struck, causing a bad
accident. The railroad company was
of course sued for damages, and at the
trial the old darby was the chief wit
ness for his employers. He answered
the questions put to him in clear, di-
rect manner. Among them was the
query as to whether he surely swung
his lantern across the road when he
saw the train coming, to which he re-
piled:
"Deed did, SAIL"
The railroad company won the suit
and the senator took occasion later to
compliment his witness on his excel
lent testimony. The old fellow was
profuse in thanks, but before they
parted bluntly said:
'Lordy, Marse John, l sho' was
skeered when dat lawyer gin to ak me
bout de lantern. l was afeared he
was goin' to ak if it was lit or not
cause de oil in it done give out some
time before de axdent."

The Perfect Head.

A perfect head, viewed from the side,
falls within perfect square, averag-
ing nine inches for a man and S1a
inches for woman The width of the
face is equal to five eyes. The distance
between the eyes is equal to one eye.
The size of the eye is two-thirds that
of the mouth. The length Of the nose
is one third the length of the face. The
ear is, at all ages, as long as two eyes.
Although these are the ideal measure
ments and are approximately adhered
TO, so fond Of irregularity is nature
that rarely any face corresponds to
them. The two sides of any face are
never exactly alike Strictly speaking,
the face extends only from the chin to
the root of the nose. Above that point
is the brain case. For well developed
brain the width of the head just above
the ears, measured with callipers,
should be from 81 to 61a inches, and
the height from the opening of the ear
| to the top of the crown should be eX-
actly the same. In women both height
| and width are one inch less than in
men, women's heads approaching the
| type belonging to hildren.-London

There Are 373 Sunday School
Organizations in the Upper
Peninsula.
NINE IN BARAGA COUNTY.
Annual Meeting For This County
VIII Be Held In EAnse
Feb. Gath.

The annual convention of the
Baraga county Sunday School As.
sociation will be held in the M. K.
church, in this village, on Monday,
February 24th. State Sunday school
officers will be present. In q statis-
tical report of Sunday schools in the
upper peninsula, recently pub
lished, Baraga county is credited
with 1887 Sunday school pupils
between the ages Of B and 20 years,
nine different school organizations,
ninety officers and teachers, and
720 attendant pupils. =
The following information regard
ing the progress of Sunday school
associations is furnished in circular
letter sent out by the state as
sociation:
"The Michigan Sunday School As
sociation Is bestowing special care
in affording practical help to the
officers and teachers in the upper
peninsula of our own state during
the month of February.
"The general secretary, Mr.. Alfred
Day, in his annual visit, is to be ac-
companied by an interstate and in
ternational Sunday school specialist
in the person of Mrs. Mary Foster
Bryner, of Chicago, and conventions
are to be held at various points
throughout the territory from st.
Ignace to Ironwood, and from Me-
nominee to Calumet. Mrs. Bryner
and Rev. DR.. Clark, of Ohio, ac-
companied Mr.. Day in a more lin
tied campaign last summer. Those
who we're privileged to receive their
practical counsel in Sunday school
methods will hail with delight the
return so soon OF Mrs. Bryner and
the state secretary. A rich pro-
gram has been circulated among
Sunday school workers. The meet
for this vicinity will be held at
L'Anse on February Gath. No Sun
day school worker can afford to miss
this opportunity of enjoying for one
day at least an interesting and prac-
tical Sunday school method.
"Mrs. Bryner and Mr.. Day are two
of the most helpful and practical
Sunday school specialists in the
world today.

HAS A FAT JOB.
Calumet Town Treasurer COL
lects Big Fees.


The Calumet township elections
will be held within few weeks, and
it is expected that big fight will
develop over the Office of treasurer.
says dispatch from that town. The
treasurership OF Calumet township is
perhaps one of the greatest minor
political snaps in the United States.
Some of the greatest business in
terests OF the state of Michigan are
located in that township, and con-
sequently the taxes foot up an enor-
nous total each year.
The treasurer of that township is
allowed collection fee OF per cent
on all tax funds passing through his
hands. This commission constitutes
his salary, and for the season Of
1901-1902 amounted to about %, 900.
This year the treasurer of Calu-
met will receive more than ever be-
fore, thanks to the state tax COM
mission, which boosted the valua-
tion of Houghton county property
$50, 900, 900. The man who is treas
urer OF that township for the next
two terms will receive $4,000 for
two months work, or at the rate OF
81, 900 per month, more than Presi-
dent Roosevelt receives.

schools Not Liable.

A Benton Harbor school girl
brought suit against the school
board for $40, 900 for illness alleged
to have resulted from the girl sit
ting in an unhealthy school room.
The suit was thrown out, the Judge
in the case stating that schools are
not liable in private action for in
juries sustained through negligence
of school officials; that no statute
exists by which liability ofthat kind
is created. The court further held
that public schools in cities stand
on the same footing as district
schools in townships, and are simp-
ly governmental agents OF state, and
are no more liable than the state it,
self in an action OF this kind, in the
absence OF an expressed statute.
