FOR MEMORIAL SUNDAY
Old Soldiers and Relief Corps Attend
Services in Body OH Sunday
Afternoon.

AS has been the custom for a good
many years Memorial Sunday servic-
es we're held in Mitchell Sunday by
the G. A. r. and W. r. c. Arrange
ments had been made to hold them
IN the corn palace and the interior of
the building was decorated for that
purpose. but the rain and the damp
ness made the large room uncomfort-
able and the crowd was directed to
go to the Congregational chuIch.
There was a good representation of
the old soldiers and of the Relief
Corps, and they occupied seats re-
served for them. The afternoon was
SO bad that but few citizens ventured
out. Rev. D.. r. Tomlin conducted
the devotional exercises, Offering a
most impressive prayer. Some
special music was rendered by Miss
W'ndle. Mrs. Scallin, Prof. G. VI.
Fry and Orwin Peck, with Miss Fan
ME Mccormick at the organ. The
numbers were given with fine effect

the occasion. The address Of the
afternoon was given by Rev. Fred L.
Drewett, pastor Of the Baptist
church. 1t was in the nature of an
historical sketch, in which he paid a
splendid tribute to the heIoism of the
soldiers of the north and south,
neither Of which exceeded the other
in bravery or devotion to country.
He believed that the wal terminated
as it did by the Intervention of God,
in that He desired the perpetuity Of
the country without division. He
said it was a pleasant duty that
would soon come to the rising gener-
alton, that Of perpetuating the OBJ
%servanee of Memorial Sunday and
Decoration Day in honor of the men,
DRY Of the old soldiers. and such acts
will be an inspiration of the volun-
teer soldier who will come in after
years. Mr.. Drewett's address was a
departure from the usual sermon and
contained some good thoughts and
suggestions.

Mr.. Clemens visited him there for the last
time. The general had gone beyond speech,
for the ulcer had developed into malig-

his penciled inquiry. -

The general wanted TO know definitely
what might be expected from ii in the way
or exact results.
To this Mr.. Clemens was able to reply:
General, there is in the bank now royalty
on advance sales aggregating nearly 100000.
1t is at Mrs. Grants order, general, and
you need not fear for her future"
The generals face lighted with pleasure,
and he expressed his satisfaction and his
warm gratitude to Clemens by gesture and
by means of the pencil in his hand.
Mr. Clemens shook hands with the old
commander and went down the hill feeling
deeply pleased to have been able thus to
comfort dying man. His own troubles
were affair of, and when they came had
nothing to do with the book, the sales of

while hemp is the leading article of
commerce in this province. yet there are
other very good lines that pay very well.
This is particularly true in many other
fibre plants besides the hemp which grow
here in abundance. One product of the
province particularly that brings very
great revenue TO those interested in Ii is
that of extracting the essence Of the ylang-
ylang, which is a flower that grows here
in abundance, and it is. believe, the basis
of all first-class perfumes. The present
price is $500 per pint. There are a great
many little stills all through the noun
tains producing this extract. and, although
the stills are very crude affairs, they bring
enormous revenues TO the owners. l be-
lieve that the Philippine islands is the only
place in the world where this flower grows
in abundance. There are many other lines
here, all of which apparently pay those
interested in them a very handsome profit.

way, and hope within the next six months
to be able TO go from one end of this prov

A Game TarpOn.

Mr. j. A. l.. Waddell. writing to Forest
and Stream. has this to say about tarpon
fight made by an Indiana man:
Some time ago / promised TO send you
a description of ths finest tarpon fight that
| have ever witnessed. IL occurred one
afternoon last month out on the Gulf of
Mexico, beyond the end of the jetty at
Arkansas Pass. when Mr.. L. CT. Murphy, of
Converse. Ind, and L were there on tarpon
fishing bent
IL had lust succeeded i'm bringing to boat
a fine six-footer after longer struggle than
usual, owing 10 the fact that / had COM
pletely drowned the fish before taking Ii
in: and while the boatman was batting my
hook for another trial. / sat watching Mr..
Murphy'S boat, " hich was only a few yards
distant. Suddenly there was a strike, and a
heavy-looxins six-footer leaped into the
air over twelve feet high. few seconds
later 1t made another leap fully as high,
then a run. and instantly aiterward another
lump of the same height. In all Ii made
six Jumps and not one of them was less
than twelve feet high.
THE ordinary height which a tarpoa
jumps is from eight 10 ten feet, and gener-
ally each lump Is little lower than the
last till finally the fish is unable TO spring
entirely out of the water. Once only be-
fore had l seen tarpon jump so high. IL
was on my lire in the Panuco river. near
TaTnpico. Mexico. Unfortunately, that fish
threw out the hook at once, so ! did not
have an opportunity to learn whether it
could keep up its record on jumping.
Mr. Murphy, who is a powerfully built
man and both muscular and active in spite
of his sixty-oGd years. handled his fish
with much skill and apparently the great
est case. bringing it to gan in fifteen or
twenty minutes.
ut proved TO be six feet one inch long
by thirty-nine inches girth. which would
make the weight by formula lS9 pounds.
Mr.. Robert Farley, the weil-known and
skilled taxidermist or this place. has
mounted the fish. and is going to present II
to the Tuna Club. OF Catalina island, and
in exchange the said club is going TO send
a mounted tuna.
THE catching of this wonderful leaper
brought up the question Of the relative mer-
its of tarpon and tuna as game fishes. and
Mr. Murphy and both agreed that no FISH
could improve on the fight the one under
discussion had put up.

A new form OF progressive supper was
introduced last night at Mount Carmel, q

under the management of the Book Club
of that village. The thirty couples had ar
ranged for a six-course supper and walked
over a mile to six different houses before
the supper was finished Part of the dis

become eligible to participation in the sup
per one must first walk at least three miles

served At the house of Mrs. Swift the
guests had soup and crackers. Then there
was a sprint to the home of Dr.fC. III. JOS

where the guests had fried oysters and
pickles. Plunging into banks OF snow for
the third course the party landed at the
home of Leverett Dickerman, where the
feast consisted OF croquettes and French
peas. After another tramp through the
snow salad was served at Mrs. Arthur

1.-THE greatest living trainer of horses
I'm the world is Enoch Wishard a native
Indianian, who is still quite young man."
remarked Mr.. Thomas w. Langston, of In
dianapolis. He is worth to his employer
many times the $4,000 per annum that Mr..
John Drake pays him, and that Mr. Drake
recognizes this is shown by his making
cash presents to Wishard $4,000 at one
time. and $4,000 at another, during the past
racing season. when great racing prizes
went to the Drake cOlors.
s'Carte blanche is given Wishard in the
matter of buying horses, and whenever he
sees one he fancies he buys it without ever
thinking of consulting his employer, wheth-
is not a plunger himself, but he is willing
to invest in good thing, and occasionally
swells his revenues by modest wagerS of
from $500 to $500. I should put his gross
earnings for the past season at not less
than 0,000."

ingredients. and proportions thereof,

the same securely affixed on each
box. bottle or package in which said
patent or proprietary drug or medi
cine is enclosed.

fact that it would deprive the owners
of patent medicines OF their property

laws give them, II opens up such a
