radeship, helpfulness,. guilt, .covetous-
ness, and the like, or feelings analo-
gous to these-the dog version of
them; am not sure but that the dog
is capable of contempt. The behavior
at times of large dog toward
small, the Sights he will put upon
him, even ejecting his urine upon him,
is hardly capable of any other inter-
probation. The forbearance, too,
which large dog usually shows
toward touchy little whiffet, never
resenting it's impudent attacks, is very
human. "a barking dog never bites",
is an old saying founded upon human
nature. The noisy blusterer is rarely
dangerous, whether man or dog. I do
not agree with Stevenson that the dog
is a snob. The key to a dogs heart
is kindness. He will always meet you
half way and more. I have been asked
why the farm dog usually shows such
hostility to tramps and all disreput-
able looking persons. It is not their
looks that disturb the dog, but their
smell-a strange, unknown odor.-

Precept and Practice


In Dublin, at certain evening
class for adults, the schoolmaster was
giving some workmen a lesson in
geography.
"You see, men," said he, address,
ing his class, ''the population of
China is so great that two Cinnamon
die every time we take BREATH
This information made a deep i'm
preston on some of the burly schol-
ars, and the master was particularly
struck with the strange appearance of
an Irishman at the foot of the class.
His face was turning black and his
eyes were bullying from his head.
"What is the matter, Murphy?" in
quired the schoolmaster, with alarm.
Pat opened his mouth and regained
his breath.
"Sure," said he, IT was stoppin
me breath t. save tn lives of some O.
thin Cinnamon. I believe in live and
let live, I do.'.

Origin of the Grand Jury.

The institution of the grand jury
dates back to the earliest period of
English history, having been in use
among the Saxons. It appears that
the number Of the grand Jury was
originally twelve, but in the time of
Henry III, it was the practice to re-
turn four knights for every 100, who
elected twelve knights to take part
with them in the inquest.
Toward the latter part of the reign
of Edward III in addition to the in
quest for the 100, the sheriff was re-
quired to retrun a panel of knights
for the whole county. This jury was
called ''le graunde inquest" and made
inquiry for the county, while the jury
for the 10 inquired for it's own district
only. After the establishment of the
"graunde inquest the practice of sum-
moning a jury of the 100 gradually
went out of use. LEX.
In the present day in England, as
in the United States, the grand jury
must consist of not less than twelve
and usually not more than twenty
three. The number varies in differ
ent states. Chicago Chronicle.

Wasn't Quite Ready.

To illustrate the vicissitudes of those
who die rich, Andrew Carnegie told
at dinner an amusing Scotch story.
George Gordon, a rich old Scot, :"
he said, "was taken seriously ill and
decided that he had better draw IN his
will at once.
Accordingly, the testament was
then and there written out at his die
tation, read to him, and placed in his
lap for his signature.
"The old man took the pen, wrote
George Cor and then sank back
exhausted.
"The heir hastily raised him again.
:" D, uncle d. he prompted.

Rivers and Harbors Bill.

The river and harbor appropriation
bill, as finally agreed upon in confer
ence, takes as good care of the in
ternal improvement projects of the
northwest as could be desired by the
people of that section. The upper
Mississippi river project is retained
in the bill precisely as it was fixed by
the senate, which is an improvement
over the house provision.
In regard to the Duluth Superior
harbor Improvement the bill comes
out of conference changed somewhat,
but probably acceptable to the people
of both cities, as we'll as to the ship
ping interests of the Great Lakes.
Senator Nelson S amendments relating
to these harbors we're modified in
some particular, but the chief point of
Importance is that although the pro-
vision for a protecting pier at the
Duluth entrance is stricken out, the
bill carries an appropriation of
5000, ZOO additional that subsequently
will be employed in dredging the inner
basin of the Duluth harbor. The bill
as reported carries $50, 963, 432, as
against s92,8S4, 472 as passed by the
senate and s84, 1913, 1873 as passed by
the house.

How They Would Do 1t in England.

Had Mr.. White been shot in Eng

VILLAGE ELECTIONS
Much Interest Manifested by the Citl-
zens of Princeton in Tuesdays
Battle of the Ballots.
A. w. WOodcock Chosen to Preside
Over Deliberations of Council
for the Ensuing Year.

The annual election for the village
of Princeton was held on Tuesday and
the day was an ideal one-a day ex-
ceptionally salubrious for this season
of the year.
Many tickets we're in the field-six,
seven or eight-and the supporters of
the various candidates worked ener-
getically for those whom they favored.
Nevertheless it was a good-natured
contest, none of the candidates SEEM
ing to care but little whether they were
winners or losers. It was a contest
which did credit to those engaged
therein-a fair and square battle of
the ballots.
Princeton is proud of the men
elected to take charge of it's affairs
for the coming year and Princeton is
proud of the men who have so we'll
filled the position of councilmen dur
ing the last term. There are no bet
ter men obtainable than those elected
at this term and there are no better
men than those retiring. The old
councilmen retired with good grace
there is no ill-feeling-no animosity
of the remotest degree toward their
successors. In fact they welcome
these successors-they are glad to
shift the burden of the village affairs
upon other shoulders. That is, they
are pleased to give other men an op-
portunity to demonstrate their ability
in administrative work.
The retiring council was a good
one-a council that has put forth
every effort to please the people. The
incoming council is a good one, too,
composed of all representative citi-
zens-business men of executive abil-
ity.
The election resulted in the follow
ing men being selected to fill the vii

chimney damaged property to the ex-
tent of $3.50 at the residence of AL.
NUM- on Saturday afternoon. Mr..
NUM- had just seated himself at the
dinner table and his wife called his
attention to an odor of smoke which
prevailed. Upon investigation Mr..
NUM- discovered that the ceiling near
the chimney was on fire. He ran up
stairs and opened the door to room
in which is kept clothing, linen, etc.,
and there found that flames had made
their way through the flooring and

ment reached the house Mr.. Num- had
succeeded in checking the progress of
the fire. The fremen, upon arrival,
ripped hole in the roof of the resi-
dence and subdued the fire with but
little difficulty. A quantity of CLOTH
ing and linen was destroyed and the
wall paper ruined by smoke and
water. The loss is fully covered by
insurance.
So excited was Mr.. NUM- when he
discovered the ire thai he did not
think of a fifty gallon tank filed with
water in the next room, but ran up
and down stairs with pals until he
was almost exhausted.
Ed Hall Loses Residence.

residence of Ed. Hall, who lives
near Stanchield lake, with the whole
Of it's contents, was destroyed by fire.
The fire, which originated from a de-
fective stove pipe; spread with such
rapidity that it was impossible to
save any of the proprty; in fact, Mr..
Hall says, he had all he could do to
save his family. The total loss was
about ST 200. No insurance was car
ried upon either the house or furni-
ture. Mr.. Hall will rebuild as soon
as possible.

At the business meeting in the after
noon Geo. Haddow acted as moder-
ator.
The first matter to come up for dis
posal at this session was the election
of overseers for the ten districts in the
township, and the result was as fol-
lows: First district, Ed Ziebarth: Sec
ond, Albert Harmon; third, John
Williams; fourth, Caleb Pinkham;
fifth, Clarence Sanford; sixth, Emil
Maehack; seventh, William Sefeldt;
eighth, Scott Bruce; ninth, A. Shan

The poundmaster question then came
up for settlement, and after short
discussion it was unanimously agreed
that every farmer should act as his
own poundmaster.
The next thing in order was to des-
ignate three conspicuous places in the
township at which to post public no.
tices. A motion prevailed to the
effect that the same places be used as
last year.
Next was read the supervisors re-
port on the location of guide posts
and the question submitted whether
these guide posts be adequate for
public service. Upon motion it was
decided that two new guide posts be
erected, one on the northwest quarter
OF section Is and the other upon Sec
ton in Long Siding. It was also
decided to repair the guide post on
section 10.
Town Clerk Otto Henscheel read the
financial statement of the township of
Princeton for the past year. This re-
port showed in detail the receipts and
disbursements of the several funds in
a clear manner. Upon motion the
financial statement was adopted as
read. A synopsis of the report fol-

MATTERS Of Note Collected Here and

Told.
The Change of Venue.

Attorney General Bird opposes a
change made in the senate in the
change of the venue repeal bill. the
McCracken bill. which as presented
excludes pending cases from the Cd.
eratlon OF the repeal. This was amend.
ed IN the senate so as to exclude only
pending cases wherein application is

The attorney general has a case in
which the state is defendant against
the Michigan Central railroad for
$6'OOO.O0O damages for the repeal OF
the charter. The case is now tied up
by demurrer in the supreme court.
Attorney General Bird may want an
arbitrary change of venue from
wayne when the case is tried. but he
cannot make application before the
demurrer is decided. Hence he objects
to the amendment of the senate which
would "tie his hands," The bill will be
