Almost every one who has read II. G.
wells scientific rOmances, has felt that
they had perculiar quality of reason
ableness all the authors own. One
does not find in Mr.. Wells work the
burlesque scenes and farcial characters
of Jules Nerne's work. The great
difference between Jules Verne and
Mr.. Wells is that the latter was trained
in scientific methods of thought while
the former was not. Before Jules
Verne took to romances he wrote
operate libretti; before Mr.. Wells took
to romances he was pupil of Huxley
in the Royal College of Science. The
Cosmopolitan for August presents an
article on Mr., Wells and his work which
will prove interesting, not only to those
who have read this authors books, but
also to those for whom this pleasure il
I'm store.

Caught a Few Suckers.

Capt. c. G. Minic!z, general bark
superintendent for the Elk Tanning
Company, likes good joke as well as
the next one, and takes Il joke with Il
very good grace when he gets caught
which isn't very often. Mr.. Miuick $
daughter is quite an artist and recently
presented her father with some pictures
OF her own painting, which he priced
very highly. Mr.. Miniclz, took the
three pictures to the Tanning Com
pany's general Offices and hanged them
over his desk. His favorite of the
three was the picture of handsome
lady, and he took so much pride in
showing it to all who came in that some
of the members of the office force
thought it would be a good joke on
Captain Minick to steal the picture and
hold it for ransom in the share of a
treat of ice cream for the whole force.
They did it. When Captain Minick
demanded who took his picture. no one
could tell him. After keeping him in
suspense for few days, they told him
if he would treat the force they would
guarantee the return of the picture.
He stood their teasing with good grace
and put them off till he should decide
how to get ahead ofthem. One evening
he went to the Off alone, after all had
gone home, and he searched diligently
till he found his picture concealed in a
frame under or behind another picture.
He left it there for q week. His
daughter painted him a string of fish
and lettered under the picture the
title "rhree Suckers" Capt. Minick
took this sucker picture and put il in
the frame and took the other picture
out and concealed it. He then bided
his time and the iokers came after him
in a few days. He let them have their
fun awhile and finally with great pre-
tense of hesitation and regret at having
to give IN, he agreed to treat If they
would prpdace the picture. The three
consp.ratorl were in great glee and
went after the precious picture i'm a

Timely Advice.

The 'bad" boys are often the best
boys in the neighborhood, says an ex-
change. All they want is to do me
thing. Don't expect healthy, 'ctive
boys to want to be tied up in book and
so-called improving occupations con-
tinually. Ifboys are not given good
ideas to workupon, such as they always
get in kindergardens, manual training
and other up.to-dato schools, they are
sure to be n harmful mischief, because
boys with vim and get there in them
are bound to ebusy. Give them tools
and material wot!l with; encourage
them to maxi 7leds, boats, and various
kinds of play 'ings. Don't ever give
'bad' boy up. Give him something
to do Elk.

We've Got 'E II Here,

The mosshooley is new name for an
old class of people. We saw it used in
one of our exchanges and we looked up
the meaning. It's the fellow who poses
as progressive public spirited citizen,
but who opposes every measure or
movement that is calculated to build
up and develop his town. The word is
derived from the Latin term mo sabus
backabus and hooley is the Irish for
howler. Remove News.

Marys, August 18th.

At a special feature for the enter
tainment of the thousands who will
visit st. Marys during the eighth an
nual convention and tournamC~t ofthe
! Northwestern Volunteer Firemen's as.
sociation on August 13, II and 10, the
committee having the affair in charge
have secured the famous Repasz band,

driving park, the grand spectacular
military concert '"The Spanish War"
The production is a tone picture of the
| recent conflict between the United
States and Spain, and the services of
over 800 people are required. A grand
chorus of over one hundred mixed
voices add much to the musical effect
OF the program, and the band soloists
| discourse sweet melodies during the
progress of the concert.
TO give the audience a more vivid
| idea of the battles as they occurred OH
land and sea an immense proiecto-
scope, or moving picture machine, is
used to throw the views on canvas
directly over the stage. In order that
the audience may more closely follow
the movements of the troops as they
portray the various charges an inn
| mense search-light is used TO bring
them into view. The park is lighted
as bright as day with arc and incan-
descent lights
The program is divided into fol
parts. The first presents the nation Y
prosperity, during which the Inaugural
ton ofPresident Mckinley takes place,
followed by the mutterings of strife,
and then the blowing up of the Maine
III the harbor Of Havana. The second
part presents the troops at the front
after the late Presidents call for 125.-
600 volunteers.
Part three is probably the most real
i5tic, presenting as it does the great
battlefield scene. During this part
vocal numbers are feature. A vocal
solo with band accompaniment, Just
Before the Battle Mother'' and the
chorus The Stars ana Stripes For
eVcr' are given. After Che victory
over the Spaniards a spirit Of thanks
giving pervades the American army,
venting itselfin the grand old hymn,
Nearer, My God, to Thee"
Part four represents the return of
the troops, and the singing OF "rhe

Of peace general rejoicing terminates

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.y
Washington, Aug. 4th, 1902.

pendulum of political and economic
information was evercompiled than
the Republican Text Book which is
made public to-day, by the Re-
publican Congressional Committee.
A quotation from President Nc
Kinley is made the motto of the
book. 1t reads: "You do not have
to guess what the Republican party
will do; the world knows its pur-
poses. 1t has embodied them in
law, and executed them in admin
istration. " The Committeereviews
the results accomplished by the
party and draws attention to the
fact that the antitrust law was
placed on the statutes over the
united opposition of the Democratic
party in the House of Representa-
tives A review Of the prosperity
attained under the Republican
policy of protection follows, to-
gether with a brief sketch Of the
invasion of Europe by American
industries. 1t is pointed out that
the imports Of the United States
amount to $SSO.42l, 900 and the
exports to 81. 4G5, $50, 800 and CON
siderable space is devoted to the
results Of protection as shown by
the last census. Tho very remark
able growth OF the textile industry,
especially in the south, is one Of
the most gratifying results Of the
protective system. The extent to
which the Committee has found it
advisable to quote from the utter
anccs Of President Roosevelt is
most complimentary tothe young
est President who has ever file d
the Office.
