BY HON. WIN. THOMPSON.
Mayor of Kalamazoo.

The fact that my son Boone is
working with his hands learning
what manual labor is should not be
considered a hobby on my part.
Every young man should be
taught the value of money-that is,
to know by the hard rule of expert
ence what Is necessary to be done
in order to produce something for
a consideration.
The ability to earn something
usually carries with it a practical
realization that the sweat of the
brow" is teacher who imparts
real good common sense to our
young men.
They are apt to feel the neces-
sity Of saving something they have
to sweat for. Indulgence on the
part Of parents conceals infinitely

Mayor Thompson is very rich

Black cluny lace over white tai

gown. Irish guipure, touch OF
violet velvet and embroidered ba-
tiste, serve to make this combina-
ton of color and fabrics into a
stunning toilet.
The foundation of the gown is
white, and so are the motifs of
the Irish lace which are applied
to the cluny. The shoulders of the
bodice have a quaint droop. Below
these are short stiff puffs, which
form portion of the demi-sleeves.

companies purporting to form the
ice trust. Back of the ice trust ap-
pears the shadows of two big rail

Why did the ice men who now so
emphatically protest their inno-

jury without defense?
Was it necessary to shield still
bigger interests in the background
from the rigid investigation of
Uncle Sam?

provisions of which the secretary
made clear to them. After Wilson

Pine Trees Made Into Silk.

About five tons of artificial silk
are now manufactured daily in
Europe and the demand far exceeds
the supply. This is one of the many
modern products of cellulose, that
wonderful substance of which the
microscopic cells of plants are made
and which composes about one-third
of all the vegetable and animal mat
ter in the world. Robert Kennedy
Duncan, now professor of industrial
chemistry in the University of Kan
sas, points out its possibilities for
the manufacturer. For instance, he
writes: A pine tree is worth $40
ton; cut and stripped it is worth SIS;
boiled into pulp it is worth $40;
bleached it is worth s55, which
turned into viscose and spun into
silk is worth $780,. "-Ex.

Made Him Feel Small.

An Arkansas paper tells story of
a man who was caught out in the
woods during a storm. He didn't
want to get wet, and the only place
he could find was hollow log, into
which he managed to crawl. The
rain lasted a couple of hours, when
the fellow decided he had better be
going home. He tried to extract
himself from the log but the soft
wood had swollen and he couldn't
bulge peg. There alone in the
desolate woods, many miles from the
nearest habitation, the poor man lay
for hours thinking of all the mean
ness he had done. when all at once it
dawned upon him that he had read
his home paper for three years with
out paying a cent for it and then re-
fused it at the postoffice, and it
made him feel so small that he
crawled out of the log through a
knot hole. Elk.

way to acquaint their customers

There were a number of volunteer

agreed that advertising should be
constant; that half page used now

inches run every day or each week
where weekly papers were issued.
Every one denounced the practice of
lying in an advertisement, believing
it better to surprise a customer than
to disappoint him. All urged friend

that every time merchants name
appeared in the newspaper it was
valuable advertising.

The case of r. G.. Cary against Els
worth McEwen, which was contro-
versy over the office of county court

day. This is an affirmance of Judge

commissioners gave the office to
McEuen, a Republican. Judge Birk-
heads decision gave the Office to
Cary Democrat.
The case was tried out at special
term of the Mclean circuit court
several months ago and an appeal
was Immediately taken to the Court
Of Appeals.
The point at issue was the count
of ballots in the Rumsey precinct.
Judge Birkhead opened the ballot
box in open court and made a count
of the ballots which showed, at that
time, that the returns made by the
election officers in that precinct gave
McEuen more votes than he actual
ly received. The difference between
the votes actually received as shown
by the judicial count. and that with
which he was credited on the face
of the returns, was su fficient to over
come his majority and gave the cleo
