dream of seeking to entertain them
selves or their friends. They are
usually selfish people who never get
out of themselves and never are
amused unless some one is using up
his brain and his energy to engage
their dull wits.
These people are of the type of the
kings of DID, to whom the court jester
was more necessary than the chamber
lain.
Then there was the second class
those who had "the time of their
lives.''
These were for the most part art
students, artists and those others pos
sessed of spontaneity enough to gen
crate the carnival spirit. Among
these were a pretty lot of debutants
and laddies-one Of the sweet pre-
negatives of youth. 1t was this con-
tingent saved the day. These were
the throwers of confetti and love la
riats and the real makers of the fun.
They MADE fun, and in the making
they had their full share.
Therein lies the axiom of enjoy
ment and the same law holds good
and ye shall receive"
Then the last class, those who had
"a nice quiet time" were those whose
years or oppressive dignity or their
safety took the edge off their car
nival spirit" but who none the less en-
joyed the pageantry and the splendid
spectacle of moving color and charac-
ter. Say what you WILL it takes the
spirit of youth to enjoy Mardi Gras-
the spirit of youth or the spirit of the
Latin people, which is ever young.
One of the bellies of the ball was Mrs.
Pedar Bruguiere, who as butterfly
in white satin and spangles looked like
French poster.
Others who were conspicuous for the
dash and spirit were Miss Edna Davis,
Miss Ethel Dean, Miss Virginia Jol-
life, Mrs. Milton Pray, Miss Helene
Robson, Mrs. Charles Krauthoff, Mrs.
George B. Carr, Miss Grace Llewellyn
Jones, Mrs. Gerrit Livingston Lansing,
Mrs. C. Frederick Kohl, Mrs. Truxtun
Beale. Mrs. John Sroufe Merrill, Miss
Ethel Hager, the Misses de Young and
Miss Pearl Landers.

The elaborate luncheon given at the

In details the affair quite surpassed
any luncheon given In San Francisco

But it is said that Mrs. Pfingst has

1t is questioned by some of our towns
people why the debate which takes
place between Yale and Marlette high
school scholars tonight was not arrang'
ed with Brown City instead. The Ex-

every possible effort was put forward
to bring it about but no arrangements
could be made with Brown City. They
simply "laid down."
For some years Yale's refuse has had
dumping ground to the west of the
village and also on the road near the
Playground but of late it has not been
deemed advisable to use either of these
places and it is now up to the village
dads to supply our citizens with some
spot wherein all the old cans, tinware
and other refuse, which naturally ac-
cumulates, can be hauled and dumped
and grounds cleaned up of such rub
bish. This is really very necessary
matter and should be attended to at
once. We trust that our city fathers
will take the subject under considera-
ton and give us dumping ground.

A Seal Pervert.

The fur seal is a land animal Of
perverted tastes, who, living at sea,
has had his paws changed into flip
pers very like the long black kid
gloves of a woman. His heart, liver
and kidneys are exactly the same as
those of sheep, and just as good to
eat, but his flesh, although just like
fat mutton to look at, is rank and dis
tasteful from his habit of eating fish
The whole package is put up in par
eel of thick white fat to keep the body
warm of beautiful brown fur, pro-
tected with large, far, oil-bearing
hairs, making a glossy surface which
slides through the water without fric-
ticn. Perfectly fearless, oyerfowing
with fun, a perfect little athlete, mar
ve,ously strong, the fur seal is the
most delightful of all wild creatures.
But although ne lives at sea the seals,
being heavily clothed in fat, skin, fur
and hair, find the temperate ATTITUDES
much too warm for comfort during
the summer months. Since they can,
not Sned their garments ike our
selves, they migrate to sub-arctic
climate, gathering in immense multi
tudes where there are fisheries to
support them. Their ration is fifty
pounds of cod every day, which for
a creature the size Of a sheep is con
siderable
When the little pups appear their
mothers go a-dshing to feed them,
and likewise teach them to swim.
The pups howl with fright when first
thrown into the water Now, outside
the seal city, with it's regular streets
and harems, assemble the young
bachelors not yet grown enough for
love or war Here man steps in, driv-
ing the poor bachelors away inland,

Antipathies Of Animals.

The circus actor sat in the winter
training quarters. Under his superyi-
sion thin boy was learning to ride
erect on a quiet horse with broad,
fat back
In some towns they won't let US
show" said the man, unless we have
no camels with us. Camels are
serious drawback to shows. Horses
are so much afraid of them that lots
of towns won't let a camel enter their
gates.
"A horse won't go near a piece of
ground a camel has stood on. The
very smell of a camel in the air will
make horse tremble and sweat.
And this fear isn't only found occa-
sionally in a horse here and there.
1t is found in every horse all over the
world Queer, isn't it? | often Won
der why it is. Cattle hate dogs in
the same way, and cats hate dog so,
too. Here, though, we can account
for the hatred. Dogs III primitive
times fed on cattle, no doubt, and
even today, here and there, they kill
and feed on kittens.
Horses love dogs. I'm sure don't
know why Dogs fear no animals
but pumas and leopards. You can
take a dog up to a lions or tigers
cage, and he will show no fear; but
tas.e him up to the cage of the puma
or a leopard and he will rremble and
moan and stink away cut OF sight.

Beneficial Gains.

The per capita drink bill of the Unit
ed States is increasing, but on the
other hand, statistics show that more
people are joining the church now than
ever before. The Episcopal church,
for instance, gained per cent on its
membership last year, the Presbyteri-
an church 2 IL per cent and the Meth
odist church also made an unprece-
denied gain.
