Some unknown philosopher says:
1--WE love the man with the roses on his
tongue, the man who sees the boys dirty
face, but mentions his bright eyes; who
notices your shabby coat, but praises
your studiOuS habits; the man who sees
all the faults, but whose tongue Is quick
to praise and slow to blame. We like
TO meet man whose smile will light
up drearincSS, whose voice is full of
music of the birds, whose handshake is
an inspiration and his God bless YOU
"a bencdictiOn. He makes Us forget our
troubles rs the ravens dismal croak Is
forgotten when the wOOdthrush sings.
God bless the man of cheer. There Is
plenty of trouble here, but we need not
increase it. There is lot of dying done

Miss Lydia Holzhauer of Dexter,
Mich, was once candy clerk in Ann
Arbor and must have been as sweet a.
the goods she dispensed, for while in
that occupation she met +. l.. Martin.
n medical student in the University. If
evidence counts for anything, and did
in this case. he said sweet nOthings and
sweet something's to her until matters
became SO serious that an engagement of
marriage resulted Martin took his
degree and after few months Went 20
Maple Rapids TO practice. Previous TO
this time however, he had written his
fair enslaver that he feared they could
never be happy and wished her TO con-
slider the engagement Cancelled. Miss
Holzhauer thought that besides the
trousseau, bedding, table linen and other
dainties she had been to the trouble Of
making, she had suffered serious lacera-
ton of feelings and started suit for
damages accordingly. The case was
heard in the circuit court last week, and
jury gave Miss HolZhauer 5000 with
which to poultice up her feelings and to
reimburse her for all the work and
expenditure on the trousseau and other
luXuries. The doctor probably realizes,
now, that there are other sweets besides
candy that come high.
Thirty thousand dollars will be do
mated by the Carnegie fund for the con
struction of a Carnegie library in Ann
Arbor. The school board voted several
months ago TO ask Mr. Carnegie TO in
crease the donation from $20,0 900 to
$50, 900 but the committee only received
an answer short time ago.
The committee recommended TO the
board that a plan be devised so that the
Carnegie library can be erected i'll con-
nection with the new High School.

A telegram has been received by DR.
Samuel Plantz, president of Lawrence

May and attended Mrs. Slaughter o
September 6, 1904, made an examina-
ton and found her suffering internally
as the result of the accident. Her bill
was $50.
DIR. J. M. Slaughter was called and
testified that he was a graduate of the
University of Maryland in 1856 and had
practiced in Cape May County for 25
years. He said that before the accident
his daughter-in-law was in perfect
health. He attended her after the
accident and found her suffering with
pain in the abdomen as the result of
the accident. His bill was SASS for
medicine and treatment.
Louis Gallo, the chauffeur of the
automobile, testified that he blew his
horn three times when within SO Oh so
yards of the buggy. Came from Switz-
erland four years ago.
The testimony of Mrs. Louie Cleaver,
of Pittsburg, n of the occupants of
the automobile. was to the effect that
the auto had stopped within a few feet
of the buggy, but that Mrs. Slaughter
became excited and pulled hard on the
lines and backed the buggy into theauto-
mobile which mashed the wheel of the
buggy, which was offered in evidence
in the court room. Mrs. Cleaver said
her husband "a in business with Mr..
Knabe. Mrs. Mason, of P~ittsburg,
mother of Mrs. Cleaver, and Miss Alice
Magore, a public school teacher from
New York, both occupants of the auto-
mobile at the time of the accident,
practically gave the same testimony as
Mrs. Cleaver.
DIR. Chas. n. Sultzer, a physician
from Philadelphia, testified that he
was sent to Wildwood in April by the
defendant, Mr.. Knabe, to make an
examination of Mrs. Slaughter and did
SO.

Against Political Corruption

A corrupt practice act has passed
the New York Senate and will pro-
badly pass the House of Assembly. 1t
is a model act of its kind and well
adapted for the State of New Jersey.
Under the provisions of this act if a
voter shall allege corruption of the
electorate and shall deposit $3.50 the
court must institute an investigation,
can compel the exhibit of campaign
fund accounts and make the chair
men of political parties testify under
oath, such testimony not to be used to
incriminate them. If a political organ
ization purchases votes in a district it
loses the whole vote in that district,
and If bribery is proven Oh both sides
the entire vote is thrown out. If the
corruption permeates the whole county
or municipality a new election must
be held.
AS to candidates, he who ''by silence
or otherwise c%ountenances or con-
sents to bribery is disqualified from
holding office for five years. If the
petitioning voters allegation of brib-
cry is proven his deposit of $3.50 is re-
stored to him. The operation of such
a law would be a salutary check on
political corruption. You can't make
men more moral by statute, but you
car appeal to their fears and put such
restraints on their actions that they
will, under compulsion, ordinarily
keep within the limits of personal
safety, if not of strict honesty, in their
political dealings.-"Newark Adver-

Here Is Shown Good Sense.

A "prim" lady friend received the
following reply from a good house
wife in answer to the question why
she allowed her children and hus-
band to litter" up every room in
the house and the sentiment will
find Judgment in the heart of every
home loving person in the land.
1.-THE marks of the little feet upon
the clean floor can be easier re-
moved than the stain when those
feet go down into the mud of the
highway of evil. The prints of little
fingers upon the window pane
cannot shut out the sunshine half
so much as the shadows that darken
the mothers heart over who is but
name through coming years. And
if my John finds his home a refuge
from care and trouble and his great
est happiness within it's four walls,
he can put his boots in the rocking
chair and hang up his coat on the
floor every day in the week. And
if l can stand it and he enjoys it, I
cannot see that it is anybody else's
business"
