A Catch Question.

OF Bishop Short. who held the see of
st. Asaph. many curious stories are
told Occasionally he put questions to
capdidates for ordination that appnr-
nelly had no connection with the dis
charge of their parochial dsties. They
tested probably their wit or tact, two
necessary qualifications to public men,
but nothing more. One such question
proposed by the bishop was the fol-
lowing: Which has the greatest num-
Der of legs, II cat or no catT
. AS might be expected. this created
litter, but the bishop would not take u
laugh as the answer. and consequently
he repeated the question and desired
some one to solve the problem. At last
one of the candidates. smiling. said. II
should tllink. my lord. cat"
NO" retortcd the bishop: there you
are wrong. for cat has four legs. and
no cat has five."-London Telegraph.

On May 8 dual cornerstone laying
of Christian Association buildings took
place at Los Angeles, Cal. Governor
Gillette laid the corner stone of the
Young Mems Christian Association
building. which will cost 100000, and
on the same day that of the Young
Woman's Christian Association building
to cost s4O0,00 The address of the
occasion was made by Lieut.. Col. Hal
ford
U. S. Senator VIM. Alden Smith and
the Masonic Lodge, laid the cornerstone
of the Bay City, Mich, building May
20. For Boys Department in the rear,
$3.50 will be raised.
Governor Miller laid the cornerstone
of the Duluth Association building
May 10 in the presence of great mul-
titude. Rev. NJ S. Rice said in his ad-
dress;
can event like thisis an encourage
ment in the struggle to redeem man
kind This is an index of what men
can do when they set their hand to do
it; and the world has never yet been
made to feel what men can really do for
the sake of righteousness.
" The devil take the hindmost' is a
bit of sociological philosophy done into
a convenient proverb. A sentiment
this, creeping into the convictions of
many and into the actions of a multi
tude more, and the carelessness of a
multitude more shouts defiantly into
our faces, Let him have them What
is the use of hindmost, anyhow We
don't need them. We waste energy on
them. They eat valuable food. They
wear warm clothing. Oh, yes, they
make up number, but that is good only
during census, and our interest in them
ceased when we counted them. Make
up number The most melancholy COM
pliment ever paid to any man. Numberl
Is any man here for that9 These do not
build our cities, lay our commerce,
plan our triumphs. That's one philos-
ophy of our lives. The devil take the
No! Every man for every
other man, and there will be no. hind
most for the devil to take. That is the
genius of Christianity; that is the senti-
ment we must catch. When we once
get it we will have hold of a dynamic
big enough to use at so big job as we
face. 1t would lend of the extra strength
which has made foremost possible to
the failing strength which
has made hindmost imperative, and
together they both win. For their
sakes I sanctify myself were the words
Of our Lord Jesus Christ God means
that principal to win. Man as whole
has sufficient energy to unitedly bring
success to all"

lansing Wants One Dele gate.

Judge Edward Cahill is proposed as
a candidate for delegate to the constitu'
tional convention. making the third
name prominently mentioned by local
Republicans, Charles W. Nichols and
DR. J. f. Campbell being the others. In
Shiawassee county two candidates are
mentioned, former senator A. B. Cook
and Oiell Chapman. Locally there has
been some sentiment that each of the
representative districts should furnish
ono of the three delegates to which
The senatorial district is entitled. Thus
fer, however, no one has been men
toned as q candidate from the second
district of this county.
Before July 80, the last day for the
fling of the nominating petitions of
the candidates, there may be others
10 enter the race, and it is quite likely
that the second district will come for
ward with candidate. If it does Sc,
it Wal enable the carrying out of the
proposal that each district be allow
Cd delegate, to which it is unlikely
there will be objection. Local Repub.
licans seem to desire only that Lam
sing be given one of the delegates, and
it appears will be satisfied with the ar
rsngement Lansing Republican.

Many localities in Michigan and many
more individuals will be interested in a
suggestion which comes from the state
geologist, that artesian wells will not
flow on forever and that this water
supply should be regarded as limited
quantity which should be jealously
guarded and preserved. In most cases
the water from these wells are permit
ted to flow on uninterruptedly night
and day throughout the entire year.
1t seems to be assumed that they will
flow on for all time. But the state
geologist calls attention to the fact that
many of these wells in Michigan have
ceased to flow and that the others will
ultimately reach the end of their USE
fulness. To farmers and residents of
villages possessing artesian wells this
warning should come as one Of imme-
date importance, and from all the people
of state 80 generously provided with
such wells an appeal for their better care
and protection should receive the atten.

Better by far hold another special
election than to sell the park bonds be-
low par. AT the time of the election
the fear was expressed by many that it
would not be possible to sell four per
cent bonds and that higher rate should
have been provided for. Bonding house
have notified the city authorities that
it is not possible to place bonds bearing
less rate than four and half per cent.
The bonds of the city have never been
sold below par and it is to be hoped
never will be.

There is we'll indicated in the exper-
fence of the last legislature one line of
service which sensible revision of the
constitution could do for the people of
Michigan. That service would be to
provide some practical means of freeing
the state legislature from consideration
and disposition of very long list Of
city and village and township matters.
These matters are important to the
communities interested, perhaps, sbut
they are not separately important to
the people of the whole state. They
are,in reality usually disposed of by the
local members of the legislature in
whose districts they belong, and they
can as we'll through some other means
be disposed of by local authority. Leg
islativs sessions could be shortened al
most by half if the burden of having to
do with affairs entirely local could be
otherwise disposed Of.

Madison, Wis. May IA. = Three
weeks of balloting in joint legislative
session and longer time still in
which the republicans who are in
control of Wisconsin politics have
been endeavoring to agree upon a man
in caucus to take the seat in the
United States senate made vacant by
the resignation of John G. Spooner,
and still the problem of successor
remains unsolved and seems no near
er solution than. when the first cau-
Gus was held.
The only change since the begin
ming of the contest has been the
withdrawal of Messrs. Lenroot and
Cooper who while they were factors
received close to 20 votes each.
Isaac Stephenson, the wealthy lum-
herman of Marinette, is leading in the
contest with 80 votes on the last bal
lot in joint assembly,. Next to Steph-
enson comes William H. Hatton of
New London, also well-to-do lum-
herman and former state senator,
with % votes. Assemblyman Duncan
McGregor of Platteville. well-known
state educator polled 20 votes and
Congressman John ]. Each of La
Crosse had 10. AS all the candidates
are practically of the I1aFellette type
of republicans the contest becomes
the harder to settle. Stephenson has
declared himself as caring only to
serve out the unexpired term. thus
leaving the contest to be fought over
again two years hence. Those, aside
from Stephenson, who aspire to the
seat, prefer to fight the battle out
now instead of having to go through
it again. and it seems to be fore
gone conclusion that should any one
but Stephenson win at this time. he
will stand good chance of re-en-
dorsement for reelection. With Len
root and Cooper. out of the contest,
1t was thought that Stephenson would
poll their strength and end the con-
test suddenly but such seems not to
be the case. Duncan McGregor bob
bed up after these Withdrawals with
a good start of 10 votes which was
later increased to 20. At the same
time Hatton who did not poll more
than 16 for while has increased his
strength to %. The balance of Lem
root and Cooper's strength which did
not go to Stephenson has been scat
tered among several candidates.
