A Correction

We were given the tip
about the marriage Of John
Treece and rs IL is our custom
To print the second and fifth
pages earlier in the week, we
unfortunately had the item
printed before we learned
that there was IA change in
the program. Instead of
going to Sedalia toget married,
Mr.. Treece sent for Rev. j.
/. Orrison, of that city, to
meet them here and at high
noon in the parlors of Hotel
Hurt he pronounced them
one. Walter Hanna. Il color
ed musician of note, was mt
the hotel mt the time and was
pressed into service TO play
the wedding march. which he
did in u manner TO make all
feel young again!
After the ceremony, the
newly married couple enter
tained a number Mt dinner,
spent several hours around
the hotel and city and then
departed for their new home,
to see how Betsy was doing
and to receive congratulations
from their many friends. II
we have been a little severe
on Mr.. Treece in our accoun,
of the affair we will only say
that he deserves it, and tina,
il he ever gets marWed again
we'll treat him even worse.

Wear Artificial Eyebrows.

"Aritificial eyebrows have been
made occasionally for years past,
said wellknown wig maker, but
lately they have grown very popular.
A face without eyebrows lacks express
sion or character, and many women
realize this. Others, having lost the eye
brows through fire or sickness. wear
artificial eyebrows until the new ones
appear. Others. again, wear artificial
eyebrows for time. only to become
tired of and reject them.
"A well.made artificial eyebrow will
escape detection. as a rule, but such
an eyebrow is too delicate to stand
rough usage. and soon wears out or
becomes unsightly. Many people grow
weary of the recurrent necessity and
expense of replacement. But TIE pref
ty woman who once wears artificial
eyebrows, like the man half of whose
mustache has been destroyed in some
manner, finds a real friend in the arti-
cial eyebrow
The artificial eyebrow originated in
Paris, the home of artificial beauty ad-
juncts. and. it is stated, they are more
popular among women than men.

inasmuch as this same man, left to
his own devices, is accustomed to sit
on his back in padded chair, 1t is
possible that this warning is not
meant for him. If it is, he will have
an excuse for remaining in bed that
has not occurred to him before, and
should be grateful accordingly. Re.

Sheep and Dous.

AS to the relation Of dogs to sheep
raising in Michigan: The Board Of
Agriculture has no record whatever
OF losses Of sheep from this cause and
so far as can learn there are no
statistics to be had on this subject in
this state. There is no question but
what the loss from this source to
those engaged in the sheep industry
is very large in the aggregate. We

viding that the funds arising from this

EVIL THOUGHTS THAT DO HARM.
Lives Wrecked by the Effects Of
Malicious Mental Attitude.

We should be appalled, II we could
see pass before us, in vivid panorama,
the wrecks caused in a lifetime by
cruel thought. A stab here, a thrust
there, a malicious sarcasm, bitter
irony, ungenerous criticism. jealous,
envfous. or revengeful thought, hatred
and anger are all going out constantly
from many mind on deadly missions.
Servants have actually been made
dishonest by other persons Derpetuany
holding the suspicion that they were
dishonest. This thought suggests dis
honesty to the suspected perhaps for
the first tiEae, and being constantly
held takes :.ot and grows, and bea.s
the fruit of saeft. The old proverb, "lf
you have the name, you might as we'll
have the game" is put into action
many times. 1t is simply cruel to hold
suspicious thought of another unit.
you have positive proof. That other
persons mind is sacred; you have no
right to invade it with your miserable
thoughts and pictures of suspicion.
Many people scatter fear thoughts.

ever they go; and these take root in
minds that might otherwise be free

HOW TVRTLES ARE CAVGHT

This name is given to them on account
Of disk on their heads, by which
they can attach themselves to any
smooth surface, like the side Of q
shark. ship or the shell Of turtle.
This disk Is like the soft leather
suckers" that are popular with
schooiboys. When this fish has once
attached himself to anything you can
pull him to pieces rather than force
him to release his hold.
Turtle hunters go in boats and carry
several of these remoras in tubs.
When they see a turtle and get near
him the sucker is sent after him. He
is held by the ring on his tail, which.
in turn, is attached by stout cord.
Sooa the fish is securely fastened to
the shell of the turtle and turtle and
fish are hauled into the boat together.
Once in the air the remora loosens
his hold and is dropped back into the
tub to rest until another turtle is
sighted.

Commercial Feeding stuffs.

The man that has to buy bran and
other commercial feeding stuffs must
be always on his guaro against the
numerous adulterations that are to be
found on some of the markets. There
are less of these In markets where the
inspection law is little enforced than
in the states where the state law
makes feed inspection vigorous. In
many Of our states where inspection
laws have been vigorously enforced
some bad conditions are found. How
much worse must conditions be in
those states in which nothing is really
being done to protect the buyers of
feed.
The inspection law Of the state OF
Maine has been vigorously enforced,
yet c. D. Woods. the director Of the
experiment station. who has part of
the task Of enforcing this law, says:
"Gluten products continue to be the
most unsatisfactory OF any feeds on
The market. This is partly because
different parts OF the same brand diff.
fer somewhat in composition, hut Ia
chiefly because certain companies per.
sist In putting a guarantee upon their
goods that the goods do not come up
10 in any instance" In relation to
adulterateL mixed feeds the author
says that there is so much profit in
selling ground corn cobs, broom corn
and other valueless materials at the
price Of wheat bran that the con.
sumer must ever be on his watch
against this fraud. The safest thing
to do is to buy only well-known reli.
able brands of this class of goods. If
the consumers see to it that all OF
this class of feeds they buy carries
the name Of the miller, there will be
little likelihood of their being de.
frauded."
