THE
MODERN
ON-LOOKER

\ well-known member Of the
English Parliament has just writ.
ten an interesting book, 1t is
interesting primarily because it
tells what the author knows
thoroughly. Then it is well told
full of humorous stories and
anecdotes of the interesting peo
pie and things in modern English
life. The title is An On-L0oker's
Note Book.
The "on-looker"-t the sue
cessful writer-in fiction applies
the same method. So do the
humorists. For example, readers
have come to expect from the
humorous works of John Ken.
drick Bangs the bright, witty de.
velopment of some new whimsi'
cal idea, a thing he knows thor
oughly how to do. That is what
made the success of the "House.
Boat" series; and it will make
more popular still Mr.. Bangs
new story, just published, telling
the humorous adventures OF n
mortal among the modern, up
to-date gods Of Olympus. The
title is Oiympldn Nights.
In every little American town
there is always at least one type
of the droll, humorous country
philosopher. Everybody knows
the type. Mr.. Will n. Harben
knows one of the characters.
His name is Abner Daniel-the
title Of Mr.. Ilarben's new novel.
The author has the rare gift OF
combining pathos and humor in
a delightful story Of real Amerl'
can life.
A wider field has been chosen
in the new volume of stories by
Elizabeth G.. Jordan. Readers
will remember Miss Jordan's
work through her first success,
Tales of the Cloister. The new
volume is called Tales of DeS.
TIM. They are stories not of the
cloister, but of men and women
Of the world. 1t is a book
women especially will like. Still,
as one critic said, Every woman
will read it-so will every man"

VIII Go to Owosso.

AlopZo L. Smith, a practical mechan-
ic and builder Of wagons and other
wheel vehicles, has done we'll In build
ing up an industry here in st. Johns,
but is handicapped by the want of
more and better room and a little more
ready capital. With four or fveIthous-
and dollars he could provide a good
brick building and stock it sufficiently
to enable him to give employment to
at least fifty men,.
Mr.. Smith does not ask the people
to give it to him outright, but to let
him have 1t at low rate or without
interest for sufficient length OF time
to enable him to pay it back in trade
or from the profits Of the business.
The Owosso people will do better
than this by him. But he prefers to
remain In st. Johns. 1t lisa good thing
to do to help those who are already
with us, instead of looking for new
concerns.
With Mr.. Smith, the Mason & Co.
and possibly the Boiler and Engine
works dropping out there would be but
little left in st. Johns In the way Of
manufacturing industries. Our people
were sorry when the Spring works was
transferred to Pontiac, and they will
be sorry when the above mentioned in
dustries move away.
Let US all help to keep them here.
Our people seem quite willing to in
vest in outside enterprises, assisting
to build up other towns, and take
greater chances of loss than they
would at home. Consider these i'm
portant facts we'll and then act

December.

December's come, and with her brought
A world in whitest marble wrought;
The trees and fence and all the posts
Stand motionless and white as ghosts,
And all the paths we used to know
Are hidden in the drifts of snow.
December brings the longest night
And cheats the day of half its light
No bird-song breaks the perfect hush;
No meadow-brook with LIQUID gush
Runs telling tales in babbling rhyme
Of liberty and summer time,
Bnt frozen in its icy cell
Awaits the sun to break the spell.
Breathe on"e upon the window glass
And see tho mimic mists that pass
Fantastic shapes that go and come
Forever silvely and dumb
December Santa Claus shall bring
Of happy children happy king,
Who with his sleigh and reindeer stops
AT all good peoples chimney tops.
Then let the holly red be hung,
And all the sweetest carols sung,
While we with JOY remember them
The Journeyers to Bethlehem,
Who followed, trusting from afar,
The guidance of that happy star
Which marked the spot where Christ
was born
Long years ago one Christmas morni

A hearty appetite does not always in
dictate healthy condition. 1t is not the
quantity of food which is eaten but the
quantity which is assimilated, which
determines the actual value of food con-
sumed. If the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition cannot convert
the food into nourishment and into
blood, then the food is an injury instead
of a benefit. For all disorders of the
stomach and its allied organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. there is certain
remedy in Dr. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t removes clogging OBJ
structions. 1t strengthens the stomach;
nourishes the nerves, enriches the blood
and builds up the body. 1t is flesh
forming, muscle making preparation,
making firm flesh instead of f1abby fat.
Golden Medical Discovery contains
no alcohol, whiskey or intoxicant of any
kind. and is equally free from opium,

AT Llandaff crafts people are EN-.

At LANDAU crafts people are en-
ployed not only in weaving and
spinning, but are making experiments
in dying for the purpose of getting
good vegetable dyes In place OF the
analine dyes now used.
Other classes are found scattered
throughout the empire and the
excellent moral effect OF this work
upon the pupils is one OF the most
encouraging features OF the work. At
Hammersmith we find the Dove s
Bindery.
Mr.. Cob1en. Sanderson, the owner of
this famous INDUSTRY, Is the most
noted maker OF beautiful books OF this
generation. For some years the
manual labor has been done by his
craftsmen, Mr.. SaDderson devotipg
the most Of his time to designing book
covers, selecting papers and types and
teaching his class Of three or four
pupils.
Although the work Of these classes
differs, it all proves that the workman
has been inspired to do artistic work
and from the least to the greatest,
they are united in creating higher
ideals, in making better conditions and
in bringing happiness through inter
esting, useful handwork. Mr.. Triggs
says, "In these independent work
shops the elevation Of work is steadily
taking place. If great poet like VIM.
Morris can find greater satisfaction in
his workshop than in his library; If a
large minded lawyer like j. Golden.
Sanderson can find fuller exercise of
his faculties in bookbinding than in
law practice, there must be some ex-
ceptional resources in industry as yet
quite unexpected by the majority of
mankind"

Maple River Farmers Club.

thursday, NOV. ~, was an IDEAL
Thanksgiving Day, just cold enough
to remind us that winter was near.
The Maple River Farmers Club met
on this day at the hospitable home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Whelan.
During the business session G. B.
Cook and o. @. Moore were elected del
egateS to the State Association of
Farmers Clubs at Lansing. While
discussing the different subjects to
which the attention Of the state asso-
citation should be called, dinner was
announced, and after a song by Ed.
Whelan.an adjournment was taken to
partake of an ideal Thanksgiving
feast. That Mr.. and Mrs. Whelan are
royal entertainers is evidenced by the
following menu:
Roast Turkey EScalloped Oysters
Sage Dressing Ounce Jelly
Cranberry Sauce
Pickles Vegetables Olives
Biscuits Butter Patties
FrulG SalaQ
Fruit Cake DEVILS Food White.Cake
Mince Pie Cheese
Assorted Fruit
Tea Coffee
On being called to order the club
was favored with selection by the Or
chestra, consisting of Henry Moore,
violin; Frank Moore, cornet; Perry
Duffy, trombone; Mrs. Perry Duffy,
piano.
A club paper was then given by Lee
Clark. Many things were brought out
for which we should be thankful at
this time. A short review of the re.
cent coal strike was given. Mr.. Clark
thinks the action of the labor unions
in barring their members from mem
bership in the National Guards is
menace to the latter organization.
This paper was followed by solo by
Claude Martin, who responded to an
encore. The meeting was then given
into the hands of l.. Chandler, who
in his usual humorous manner acted
as POSTMASTER and the following
toasts were responded to in happy
manner:

These were interspersed with solos
by Mrs. Edith Mccullough and Bush
Moore and an instrumental solo by j.
j. Whelan. Another selection by the
orchestra closed one of the most enjoy
able meetings OF the year, which
seemed to partake more Of the nature
of family. reunion than club meet
Ing After singing the Doxology the
club adjourned to hold It's holiday

Il heartily wish those who suffer

when contracted it myself it left me

not straighten nor do the most trivial
act without being in torture. The kid
neys were too active or the secretions
were too copious, and I knew what
was wrong, but how to right it was a
mystery. 1t seems odd for profess
sioral nurse, who has had a great deal
of experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go to
H. H. Hay & Sons drug store for a
box. But l did, however; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as l
did 1 would have been 10th to believe
it. You can send anyone who wishes

HEARING TESTIMONY NOW.
The Anthracite Strike Commission
Begins With Mr.. Mitchell.
WHO STANDS THE TEST WELL.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE anthra-
cite coal strike commission began the
hearing Of testimony by which it will
determine whether or not the workIasn
are receiving fair and just wages for
labor, and whether their conditions
should not be improved. President
John Mitchell took the stand in the
forenoon and when the com mission
adjourned at 4 o'clock he was still I'M
der the fierce REORGANIZATION of
David w. Wilcox, general counsel for
the Delaware and Hudson company.
1t was a trying day for the miners
leader, but he seemed to stand the test
well. The heaviest fire of cross-ques-
tions was aimed at him.
Ranged around three tables in front
of the seven commissioners who occu-
pied the judges bench were no less than
thirty lawyers, twenty-four of whom
were looking after the interests of the
Mine Workers.
Judge Gray, as chairman of the COM
mission, being versed in court proceed
ings and in the law, was the only
spokesman for the commission. He at
times asked questions, apd at the very
close of the afternoon session directed
a query ut Mr.. Mitchell which Mr..
Wilcox had been leading up to for
some time. The chairman asked Mr.
Mitchell whether his organizat ton
approved the act of Withdrawing from
or denying the necessaries of life to
those who had offended the organiza-
ton, and he replied:
II should say, emphatically, no."
1t was apparent to many of those
present who understood the situation,
that Mr.. Wilcox's object was to attempt
to prove by Mr.. Mitchell's own testi-
mony that the contention of the COM
panies that the miners union was an
irresponsible organization and that
trade agreements therefore, could not
be safely entered into was well found
ed.
During the hearing the statement
was brought out for the first time
since the last strike was begun that
the union had disbursed 81, 500, 900
among the union and non-union men
who were on strike.

the excitement, was obliged TO desist

Stricken in His Pulpit.

New York, Nov. 12.-Dr. John Reid,
of Brooklyn, was stricken suddenly, in
his pulpit, just as he was beginning a
prayer. His collapse was caused by
acute indigestion and his condition is
reported as being serious. The church
was crowded by a fashionable congre-
CATION when the minister was over
come. Several of those sitting near
the pulpit sprang to his aid and caught
him as he fell. The excited congrega-
ton was dismissed.
