Words without Rhyme.

Bulb has no rhyme Culm, cusp, re-
cumb, gulf, month, doth, amongst, are
other rhymeless words having the
sound of as in but. Few patrician
words in the language have this vowel
sound, so commonplace and without
dignity; hence poets turn to it only
for blood, flood and few similar tur-
bulent monosyllables. They use it
often, however. in forcing the accent
from the antepepultimate syllable to
the final, where its unpleasant sound is
concealed by the softened stress. Thus
has many rhymes, such as felcitous,
mysterious. inglorious, London

History of the give Minutes" Bell

History of the give Minutes" Bell.
There is history attached to the
tolling of a single bell after a peal
which is not generally known. Popu-
larly it is described as the five min
utes" bell, and it is thought to be q
final warning to the people that If they
do not really hurry up at the end they
will be late. AS q matter Of fact, it has
q far older history. In earlier days 1t
was not customary to have sermons so
frequently as is now the case. On spe-
cial occasions an instruction was given
or a sermon was preached, and on
these special occasions the little bell
was tolled after the peal in order that
the faithful might understand that 1t
was one of the special occasions Oh
which the clergy would address their
focks.-London Globe.

Oct. 30, at the home of its president,
Mrs. William Fitzpatrick. The occa-
sion was Federation Day, and reports

Woman's Clubs held at Bay City, Oct.
II, 10 and 13.

work.

following able addresses by prominent
persons interested in the state fedora
tion; A Program for ThoseWho Love

THE CHADWICK AFFAIR.

Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was arrested
in New York by federal officers. She is
charged with aiding and abetting Off
Gals of the defunct Citizens national
bank, of Oberlin, O., with embezzling
$12,500 of the institutions funds.
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was locked up
in the Tombs in New York, following her
arraignment before United States Com
missioner Shields and her failure to give
the $4,000 bond required by him.
The mysterious package held by Iri
Reynonlds and said to contain S. 900 00O
in securities belonging to Mrs. Cassie
L. Chadwick was opened in Cleveland
and found to be worthless.
Banker Beckwith, of Oberlin, confesses
that he and his cashier signed for Mrs
Cassie l.. Chadwick two notes for $780,
600 each that bore the name Andrew
Carnegie" Mr.. Carnegie emphatically
denies that he has signed any such notes
or had any transactions with the Cleve-
land woman. Beckwith and Cashier
Spear were arraigned in court, pleaded
not guilty and were held to the grand
jury in bonds of $4,000 each.

RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR.

The London Daily Telegraph's cor
respondent before Port Arthur, tele-
graphs that all of the Russian battle
ships and cruisers, together with the
gunboats Giliak and Fusadneck, were
sunk or destroyed, and that only the
torpedo boat destroyers remain intact.
The assault on Port Arthur, beginning
November 26, was the most furious of
the siege The Japanese gained the in
terror of several of the main forts, only
to be repulsed by the bayonet after a
hand to-hand struggle lasting from noon
until daylight the next day.
A Japanese force sent to turn Rennen-
kampff's flank was led into an ambush
and repulsed with loss of !, 500 dead.
The capture of 203metre hill and as
sault on Ehrlung and Keekwan forts
are said to have cost the japanese
$1,000 men.
Russia belittles the japanese reports
of Port Arthur's straits, saying that the
taking of 203-Metre hill was profitless.
The car has signed decree ordering
a third squadron of warships to sail for
the far east within two months.

CONFIDENCE IS UNSHAKEN
WHOLESOME PROGRESS SHOWN
IN LEGITIMATE TRADE.
The Slump in Wall Street Was Not
Due to Reaction in Com
mercial Lines.

New York, Dec. 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review OF Trade says:
wall streets severe reaction was not
due to any setback in the commercial
world, all measures of legitimate
trade showing wholesome progress,
and confidence in the future is I'M
shaken. Railway earnings in Noyem-
Der averaged go per cent. greater
than in the same month of 1903, and
the distribution of merchandise is suf-
ficiently heavy to produce freight
blockades at several points. Manu-
featuring plants report increased out
put in almost every instance, except
where inadequate water supply pro-
vides a temporary interruption. This
difficulty is most severely felt at coke
ovens and paper mills in Pennsylva-
mia. Seasonable weather has stimu-
lated retail trade in wearing apparel,
and holiday goods are in great de-
mand Foreign commerce at this port
for the last week shows a gain OF
$2,029,971 in exports, as compared
with the same week last year, while
imports increased $2,00S,91.
Failures this week numbered 239
in the United States, against 331 last
year, and 26 in Canada, compared with
20 a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: while distribu-
ton displays more irregularity, manu-
featuring industries, with few excep-
tions, continue very active The
heavy decline in cotton has checked
southern trade and collections, and
mild weather retards business in the
southwest, part of the northwest and
the Ohio valley. The leading lake
cities, however, show improvement in
most lines. and in collections. Whole
sale distribution, as usual at this sea-
son, tends to quietness, though in ex-
cess of year ago. Western jobbers
fail to report an active recorder move
ment in staples, but holiday trade is
progressing favorably and promises,
with favorable weather, to reach a
large total. Holiday specialties in gro
ceries, dry goods and fancy articles
have had large sale, and the hard
ware trade east and west is in excel
lent shape. The winter wheat situa-
tion is still not entirely clear The
feeling is one of optimism in trade"
