Reassured, he began to descend and called out
the balustrade:

The next instant a voice from below rooted him
to the spot. 1t the voice of the caller! Then
came a response which sounded inexpressibly
sweet to him. 1t the voice of his wife:
Yes dear she went away an hour ago;
but here is our good friend Mrs. Blank, whom I

"WE have had men clamoring for pri
mary reform in our democrat conven-
tons and praying in their closets that we
would never get it. Let us be done
with these hypocrites and compromises. Z"
The above statement and the declara-
ton which follows it, was made by one
of the speakers at the recent Muskegon
dollar banquet, and the speakers state
ment was not attacked or denied. The
confession is all right, but it is more
than little tardy and i: 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 a
campaign issue, but who refused TO
make single move to get it when 1t
was offered them? They were just as
insiucere and hypocritical as the demo
crat convention preteeders.

1t is not shade alone that makes il
cooler under a tree in summer. The
GOODNESS of the tree itself helps, for its
temperature is about forty-five degrees
FAHRENHEIT at all times, as. that of the
human body is a fraction more than
ninety eight degrees. So clump of
trees cools the air as piece of ice cools

the legislature has authorized the park
authorities of New York city to plant

lature. and also upon whether the state
. convention should nominate Upon the
first proposition 2,o64 votes were received

rect election of senators and ten against
AS to whether the coming state conven.
: ton should nominate, 1851 Dallots were
received, of which / ,6S4 were in favor and
I67 against.
The straw ballots were received from
various parts Of the state and furnish still
further evidence of the trend of public
opinion in favor Of bringing the selection
of United States senator's closer to the
people.

The prosecuting attorney of Clinton
county has sent to each saloon keeper
in the county copy of the liquor laws
of Michigan and with il n personal
letter calling particular attention to
some features of the law In which
he made this statement The records
of this county show more than 20 per
cent of the crime prosecuted in the
county springs either directly or indi-
rec.ly from the use of Intoxicating
liquors, and when that fact j. considered
certainly every man engaged in the
business ought to be not only willing
but anxious to conduct his business
according to both the letter and the
spirit of the law. When that state
ment is considered in connection with
the great expense the taxpayers Of
Michigan are to for the prosecution Of
criminals. we wonder how any man
can imagine that the saloon is a good
institution.

BE GLAD YOU'RE ALIVE.

1t is all nonsence that the fact of
mere physical age curtails ones power
of enjoyment. One can feel with each
recurring spring, if one will give him.
self up TO it, the same thrill at the sight
of the first robin, the same delight at
the discovery of a yellow dandelion in
the path, the same satisfaction in the
flooding sunshine.
This is beautiful world. And it is
yours. No one. is taking or keeping
it from you. Only You yourself can
throw it away. Stop worrying about
the joy and bliss that are your neigh
bors, and make the effort TO come
into your own. The law of compensa-
ton is called hard one, but it is abso-
lutely just, and when you feel no longer
the JOY of living, look within yourself,
for there you will surely find the cause.
