A Fish Story.

remarkable example of the vo-
racity of a trout, accompanied by fatal
results, has Just come to light. A
young man employed at Mr.. Sargents
mill at Upton. ST John, on the river
Otter, noticed a fine trout lying dead
in the mill Leaf. He got the fish out
and was astonished to find that tight
" twisted in the most extraordinary
fashion into the trout's gills was an
eel, which had undoubtedly strangled
its captor But this was not all Firm
ly stuck in the mouth of the eel was a
little fish, probably a stickleback,
which. being too big for the eel to
swallow, had caused it's death also.
All three fish were very recently dead,
and it was quite clear that the eel,
which was foot long, had attempted
to swallow the stickleback, but had
only succeeded in getting its head far
enough down to choke itself The
trout, no doubt, seeing the eel in diff
culties, had attacked it and attempted
to swallow it, with the result that his
slippery, writhing victim had managed
to choke him by entangling itself up in
a wonderful way in it's captor's gills.
Thus the little stickleback choked the
eel, which In Its turn strangled the
trout.-London Telegraph.

Good Roads.

At the roundup farmers institute
Hon. III. S. Earle, state highway COM
missioner, in speaking on estate, County
and Township Cooperative Road Laws, 3"
said in part;
II am confident that if our road sys-
tenn were perfected, that we could re-
duce our road taxes by one-fourth and
do twice as much good every year
What believe would be the best sys-
mis, let every county of Michigan
come under the county road system,
raising county road fund each year by
tax of one-fourth mill in counties with
valuation of over one hundred mil
lions; of one-balf mill in those over fifty
and under one hundred millions three
fourths mill in those under fifty and
over twenty-five millions; one mill in
those under twenty. five and over ten
millions and two mills in those under
ten millions to be expended in counties
where raised. This would set every
county in the state to work and all
property would pay the cost of building
good leading roads, which would make
it possible for the townships to improve
the less important ones.
Collect all road taxes in cash. Place
the township road fund in the hands of
the township boards, to be distributed
as it deems for the best interests of the
whole township. Divide the township
into four road districts, elect in each
districts an overseer of highways whose
duties shall be to serve as deputy town
ship highway commissioner.
"Then and then only will you get
good enough roads for the best state in
United States. State, county, and

1--WE have had men clamoring for
primary reform in our democrat con-
ventions and praying in their closets
that we would never get it. Let us be
done with these hypocrites and COM
promisers. The above statement and
the declaration which follows it, was
made by one of the speakers at the re-
cent Muskegon dollar banquet, and the
speakers statement was not attacked or
denied The confession is all right, but
it is more than a little tardy and it isn't
as far-reaching as it should have been.
What about the democrat local leaders
in every county and town and village
who were clamoring for primary reform
as campaign issue, but who refused
TO make single move to get it when it
was offered them? They were just as
insincere and hypocritical as the demo
crat convention pretenders.

Beyond The End.

The gate called death,
Which all need pass some day,
Swings outward;
Then that mighty portal
Is closed with lifeless clay,
That nothing in the world
That is gross or mortal
Again can pass that way.
Our ships they go sailing
On the blue lone sea,
And will they ever, ever come again
o, if, perchance, they do,
What will they bring to you or me
Pleasure or pain2
Our ships go sailing
On summer sea.
Some go far beyond our aching sight
Some are lost right at the noon
of day,
But more are wrecked at night.

Hon. H. E. Earle, state highway
commissioner, was in town for short
time, Monday, comforting with High
way Commissioner Cole, of this
township in reference to the build
ing, at state expense, of a mile or
two of gravel or stone roads in the
township.
The building of these roads rests
entirely with the people, under the
good roads law drafted and pushed
through the legislature by Mr.. Earle
1t is his duty under the law to in
spect and accept the road when COM
pleted. To be accepted by him it
must be built according to the speci-
fications furnished by him, and he
gives the township distinctly to un-
derstand that he will accept no job
that is not well built; he will not
give away the states money unless
it is fairly earned.
For one mile of gravel road built
according to specifications, which are
something as follows: The gravel
used must be screened, and consist
of so per cent pebbles, road bed to
be IS feet wide and gravel nine feet
wide-not sixteenth of an inch less,
the state will pay $500. 1t will also
pay $500 for a stone road. The town
ship can build two miles of roadEa
year if it so elects, one mile gravel
and one mile stone, or it can build
ten miles in a year, but can collect
only $1,000 year.
The building of a few miles of
these good roads in the township
and they must be leading public high |
be a good thing for the |
township.
At a meeting of the township |
board held Wednesday last, it was
decided to build one mile of road as
follows: Beginning at the corporate
limits of the village and going thence
one-half mile south, then returning
and beginning at the same point
will build one-half mile east. The
survey for the road has already been
made and the work will be COM
menced shortly.-Durand Express.

WEST HAVEN FARMERS, CLUB.

WEST HAVEN FARMERS' CLUB.
The May meeting of the West Hav-
en- Farmers Club was held at the
pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Hills on the afternoon of May 10.
The club was called to order by
the president and opened by song
from the rural songster, and prayer
by the chaplain.
The club was we'll represented,
only one family being absent.
The first subject-"What is the
easiest way to accomplish the weeks
house work." was led by Mrs. Pierce
Although she has found no very easy
way of accomplishing her work, she
finds that 1t is made easier by having
regular system, and by keeping
things in their places.
Mrs. Splitter gave her plans for the
weeks work: Washing, Monday;
ironing, Tuesday; Wednesday and
Thursday for whatever work needs
doing; Friday, general sweeping
and busting and Saturday bake or get
ready and go to the farmers club.
Ethel Hill recited Kentucky Bill"
in pleasing manner. Instrumental
music by Mrs. e. Hart, was followed
by the discussion of the next topic:
What is the best disposition of the
| primary school fund.-" led by Mr..
Hills. He does not know what
would be the best disposition of all
of the money (about eight million
| dollars) but thinks part of it might
profitably be used for beautifying
school grounds and improving school
| buildings, and the districts would feel
better able to pay the prices neces-
sary to secure better qualified teach
ers. Mr.. OFT thinks that each dis
| trict should have its share of this
money to use according to the needs
of that district.
''How Socrates set the hen," by
Chas. Gassman, called forth consid-
trable merriment
| would it be advisable to grant
the right of way to an electric rail-
way company" Mr.. Jones thinks
that an electric road would increase
the value of the farms through which
it passes, and be a great benefit to
the farmers, enabling them to ship
their produce directly from the farm
to market.
| Several of the gentlemen had al
ready given the right of way for an
electric line, and nearly all thought
that the road, if it is built, will be of
, great value to the farmers.
The program committee reported
the following subjects for the next
| meeting, which will be held at the
| home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Jones.
would it not be for the best in
terests of the taxpayers to have
grand jury called in each county
every two years?" Mr.. w. w. Hart
and Mr.. Jones.
What effect has the grading of
| our district schools had on the attend
ance; are they as good as formerly,
and are you in favor of the central
lied rural school? Mrs. Wilson and
Mr.. Hill.
Resolved, that the young men of
today have not as good chance to
succeed as those of fifty years ago."
Mr. Splitter and Mr.. Wilson.
Recitations by Irving Chill, Cleo
Kantz and Irving Hills.
Music by Susie Hills, Miss Day and
Nina Jones. Violin music by Dwight
Hart.
A recitation by E. Hart and a song
by Luella and Ethel Hill completed
the program.
After partaking of the excellent
supper served by the hostess We went |
home feeling that the half day had |
been profitably and pleasantly spent.

When two Jobs are hunting for the
one man instead of two men competing
for the same job, the workingmen of
this country can be prosperous and sat-
isfied." The foregoing was favorite
declaration in Mr.. Bryan's 1896 cam
paign speeches. 1t was true, too, but it
seemed at that time almost as the ex-
preston of hope too good to ever be
realized But in New r<6rk at the
present time. and In most of the cities
and smaller towns of the entire country,
there are more than two jobs hunting
for the one man. Jobs have never be-
fore been so plentiful and men never in
so great demand. Mr.. Bryan is having
q delightful visit with the potentates of
distant lands just now, and his foreign
sojourn is probably all the more enjoy
able because of the information that
probably reaches him from time to time,
that better conditions than he had ever
pictured for his countrymen are at this
time being enjoyed by them.
President Cassatt, of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad system, which is represented
in Michigan through one of the states
important lines, the Grand Rapids &
Indiana, believes that the railroad rate
bill, which passed the senate last Fri
day and will undoubtedly be approved
by the house of representatives, will ac-
complish a good purpose. II have for
several years believed, said Mr..
Cassatt, chat the national government,
through the interstate commerce com.
mission ought to be in position to fix
railroad rates whenever the rates estab-
lished by the railroads themselves are
found after complaint and hearing to
be unreasonable; provided, of course,
that there shall be the right of appeal to
the courts" 1t is interesting as well as
important to have this frank statement
of favor for the railroad rate bill from
one who will be influential in having
all it's merits and better purposes
recognized and accepted.
