SHE HAD A WORD OR TWO TO
saw

A fast young man decided to make
to young lady a formal offer of his
hand and heart-all he was worth
hoping for a cordial reception. He
cautiously prefaced his declarations
with few questions, for he had no
intention of throwing himself away"
Did she love him we'll enough to live
in cottage with him? Was she a
good cook? Did she think it wife's
duty to make home happy? Would
she consult his tastes and wishes con-
corning her associates and pursuits in
life? Was she economical? Could
she make her own clothes? etc.
The lady said that before she an
swered his questions, she would as
sure him of some negative virtues she
possessed. She never drank, smoked
or chewed; never owed a bill to her
laundress or tailor; never stayed out
all night playing billiards; never
lOunged on the street corner and ogled
giddy girls; never "stood in" with the
boys for cigars or wine suppers.
Now" said she, rising Indignantly,
II am assured by those who know,
that you do all these things, and it is
rather absurd for you to expect all
the virtues in me, while you do not
possess any yourself. I can never
be your wife; and she bowed him
out and left him on the cold doorstep,
a sadder if not wiser man.-Health

COLLEGE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT

The college year just closed has been
much the most successful in the progress
Of the students prohibition movement
The Inter- Collegiate Prohibition Associa-
ton is well organized in 20 states, with
and universities of those states. Six sec
retaries are giving all or part of their
time to the work. The attitude of most
most emphasis is laid on the systematic
study. of prohibition. A general subject
is assigned for each meeting. Papers and
NAL discussion and the result is that
members get a clear and comprehensive
knowledge of the subject presented. Those
students who make thorough study of
the liquor question usually come out not
only for prohibition but also for the Prohi-
bition party. The movement is furnish
ing the state committees with a large
number of intelligent and trained men
for field. service. AS the demand for such
ment in this respect alone can hardly be
over estimated.

sively bombastic buster and balder
dash about patriotism. To shout when
the crowd shouts, to scream when the
eagle screams is the function of par
rot, not a patriot There are millions
of men who are ready to join the army
and march down the street clad in
blue uniforms with brass buttons,
keeping step to the inspiring rhythm
of martial music, while flags flaunt in
the breeze, kerchiefs flutter from their
fingers and old men and boys gather
in vast throngs to cheer them on.
They laugh at the rigorous tedium of
the camp; they scorn the fatigue of
the weary march; with headlong i'm
petuosity they rush into the death-gap
of the bloody field, while their nerves
tingle to dare and do and die for their
flag.
But this nation is fetid with the de-
cay of civic and municipal corruption
for the want of the patriot who, uni
fOrmless, flagless, comradeless, friend
less, without a cheer, nor a whiff of
victory, in the hum-drum of everyday
life, in the whirl of political battle,
dares, alone and lonely, to fix his eye
on duty and keep within hailing dis
lance of his conscience. Our pulpits
and our pews, our stores and our stalls
are full of men who would heroically
die that that deep-dyed stain, the liq-
our traffic, might be washed from our
national honor, but who shrink from
performing the glamorless drudgery of
duties that would kill that traffic with
out the cost of a drop of blood. Men
by the multitude would be Hobsons
and rush into the jaws of death for
their country while all the world looks
on agape. But we need men who, I'M
noticed and unknown, will do their
humble duty as they see it. Most peo-
pie are brave enough to die for their
flag with crowd. Patriots are far
braver-they dare live for their flag
and be lonesome.

1t very rarely happens that crops
come so near destruction as they did
this year. Had the wet, hot weather
continued for a few days longer the
farmers could have counted this as the
fourth year for poor crops. Hay was
just Oh the verge of being ruined.
Wheat, rye and barley were in the same
condition. Just at the critical point
however, the weather man relented and
in consequence the farmers of Lapeer
county are harvesting the banner yield
for generation. Never in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant have we had
such a heavy yield of hay and nearly
all housed without getting drop of
rain. Rye is immense. The wheat is
the best ii has been in years. And the
barley Heavens to Betseyl 1t would
make enough malt to keep Lapeer
county in a state of heavenly bliss for

growls this year is poor cuss and will
