Danger in Cigartes.

Herbert Secrist, aged 16 years, died
ia Detroit day or two ago from the
excessive use of cigartes A post
mortem conducted by three physicians
showed the boys heart was almost
twice its normal size, and that all the
muscles of the heart were degen.
Grated. DR. Wickham, one of the. ply
aicisns, said 1.-The case should be a
great moral lesson to all users of
oigartes, and shortly before the boy
died he expressed the hope that he
yaight live so that he could warn other
boys not to smoke cigartes.
Young Secrist was a bright, keen
minded boy when he entered the
eighth grade at school, 1t was there
he began smoking cigartes He be-
oame stupid. could not make progress
Ia bis studies, and finally had to be
takep from school. The habit became
firmly fixed and the boy killed himself
by excessive smoking
Every city has its army of boys who
smoko 'cigartes 1t is dangerous
thing to do aside from being extreme
Jy obnoxious. Many business.frms and
corporations. including some railway
companies, hare strict rules prohibit
ing their employees from smoking
cigartes. The habit clouds the mind,
dwsrfs the intellect and in time blunts
moral responsibility.
There is one safe course to pursue
with reference to cigartes; it is the
same as SHOULD be pursued with ref
erence to all intoxicants- leave them
alone.

About Saving.

There was never a man born, who, il
he lived the life he should live, could
not lay aside something from the fruits
of each days labors.
This is the declaration made recently
by great New York financier, in ex.
planning the secrets of his success.
The foundation of all that finally made
him millionaire and power in the
financial world, was, according to his
own words, an unalterable determine.
tion to save something. He started to
live as apprentice to a shoemaker in his
home town. He saved money to go to
the city. That was the beginning OF
his fortune. He secured work and
went on saving, bit by bit, until he
was ready to launch out forhimself.
The trouble with too many of US is
that we consent to 1--we "from hand to
mouth" We complain that we are
forced to, when in reality we are toe
weak to forego some pleasure or habit
that we may lay small portion Of
our earnings aside.
Those of us who grind our way
from one weeks end to the other,
always waiting for "luck to change, u
and never forcing another turn of the
wheel. are slaves just as truly and just
as surely as though an iron ball were
chained to our ankles and the knout
were welded over our backs.
The masters of slaves appear in
many forms; the weights that prevent
escape from slavery are cast from di-
verse materials. Expensive habits,
false pride, foolish luxury, lack of inita-
tive. want of ambition, laziness of
mind and body and hundred and one
other qualities or. absence of qualities
which we see in others every day of our
lives-all are potent in keeping in
bondage men who have the brains and
ability to be free and powerful.
Are you one of these slaves? Are you
one of those who is waiting sullenly for
some one to set you free from the irk-
some grind of your work? If you are,
don't wait for emancipation. Free
yourself. Do away with the good
clothes, give up the whiskey, the card
playing and smoking if necessary.
Throw little more energy into your
work. Earn little more and spend a
little less.
The great financier's statement sounds
reasonable. 1t may bring you the
change of luck that you have been
waiting for. Saving a little won't
hurt you, young fellow Try it.

Owosso Lost Good Game.

The Owosso high school base ball
team lost out Saturday to the East
Bay City team by the score of to 0,
but it took the best efforts of the
home team to do it, and then their
runs were both the result of two er-
rors. The game was close all the
way through, neither team scoring
until the eighth inning, when errors
by Shaffer and Chapman let in two
runs after two were out. Had it not
been for these errors the teams
might have been playing there yet
for after, that neither team had a
chance to score.
The Owosso team played grand
ball all the way through, but luck
was against them and they lost out.
Ticknor never pitched better game
in his life. having the best of speed,
curves, and control. He only allow
ed four safe hits off his delivery, and
no two of them came in the same in
ming. He also got nine strikeouts.
He was very ably supported be-
hind the Bat by Gould, who also
making an error, and getting four
foul flys, three in one inning and
one in another. One of them he
dove through the air to get, after
wards falling fiat ON his face, but he
hung onto the ball.
Muller. who did the flinging for
home team was there with the goods
too for he allowed the locals only
three safe ones and got 16 strike
outs The Owosso team connected
with the ball quite often. but they
could not do it safely Neither
pitcher walked a man.
The locals hits were made by Nc
Kenzie, Driscoll and Ticknor, the
latter's being two bagger, but they
all came with two men down, or with
no one on bases.
But even if the Owosso team did
lose the game, it made better
showing against Bay City than Sag
week ago did. The latter team was
shut out 8 to 0 and twenty-five Of
their batsmen were struck out by
his honor, Mr.. Muller.
During the game the Bay City
catcher had his right hand split by
getting a ball between the little and
second finger. He was nervy lad
though, and finished out the game.
A notable thing of the game is
that Gould, of Owosso, did not have
to throw to base to get runner,
for they seldom got on bases. and
when they did, Ticknor held them so
close to IL that steal was not at
tempted by any of the home outfit.

Parents VS.. Bows.

II have taken out to the industrial
school at Lansing scores of boys of 10
or IL years, sent to the reform school
as thieves and criminals through being
addicted to the cigarette habit. / have
been told by the mothers OF those little
fellows that the boys were such slaves
to the habit that they couldn't raise a
teacup to their mouths without spilling
the contents; had to have their mothers
hold the cups for them while they
drank. And have seen it myself
when the boys went to take drink of
water. Some of those mothers have
told me that the boys smoked as high
as fifty cigarettes day; that they'd
lie to get them, steal to get them, do
any thing to get them.
And want to say, that If those
mothers, and the general public, would
give more attention and closer atten-
ton to the boys; and if they would
spend less time on reform theories
and reform fads, and more time toward
the prevention of the snares and pitfalls
that make those reforms necessary, it
would be better.
WATCHING Is NECESSARY.
You can't stop boys from smoking
cigarettes through any laws or ordin.
ances. Watch the boys You can't
stop the crop of boy thieves by the law.
Watch the boys Cigarettes are one of
the evils that the boys meet. If the
parents of every boy would watch for
the smell of tobacco, in his clothing,
and then keep everlastingly at him, he d
stop it. But the opposition to the Gig
arctic habit has got to start and end at
home. That's the place where every
juvenile reform has to start, and the
only place where any great good can be
accomplished.
That is the opinion of County Agent
Sam Lawrence, friend, adviser, and
yet, reformer Of more boys, probably,
than any man in Michigan. He has to
deal with all sorts of boys, though
mainly with wayward boys, and when
asked about the pathetic case of 16.year-
old Herbert Secrist, who blamed cigar
etts for his death. he delivered the
above opinion as though he had been
thinking Of nothing but that subject
all his life.
''It's big question, the cigarette
question, he said ''The whole juve-
nile question is big question, but the
one solution of the whole problem lies,
not in police stations. Sunday schools
or public Fairgrounds. but the home.

Edward Everett Halo and the Chau

fell in once, in local accommoda-
tion car, with dozen or twenty young
people of whom must say that they had
an air of unusual intelligence. 1t was
clear that they were in close comrade-
ship. l should not have dared speak to
them, but one of them knew me by
sight and addressed me. 1t turned out
that they were "Chautauqua Circle, -
whose home was in large manufactur-
ing town. They had been away for a
day at summer Chautauqua which
was held at Framingham in Massachu-
setts. / found however, that their
winters interest had been specially a
subject, always interesting, of hierogly-
phics and Egyptian antiquities. These
are old fads of mine, and was interest
ed to find that the fascination of these
subjects had seized upon younger gen.
Grafton. But when they began to talk
of the rare books they had consulted,
of the chronology of different dynasties
and the latest modern authorities on
the subject, asked with surprise how
they got their books. To which the
answer was simply, "Oh, they buy them
for us at the Public Library. We make
them buy them for us" And my eyes
were opened. Was it not clear enough
that if as week went by the librarian
received twenty visits from twenty of
the young people of the town, suggest
ing the purchase of this or that book,
by this or that author, he would be
very apt to put it on his list? And more
than once since, when haye told this
story to one or another librarian, he
has heard it with the assurance that

beet sugar industry against importa-
tions from other lands is in preventing
the elevation to power of men who are
known to be thoroughly and unequivo-
cally committed to the lower tariff
principle. Hence it is the bounden duty
of the Michigan delegation, If it is
sincere in its efforts to prevent making
this country an open air market for
cheap Philippine sugar and this can
only be accomplished by nominating a
candidate next year not pledged to in
jure if not utterly crush out our own
sugar industry, to take this pointer.
There is another feature of the
situation that is worthy of considera.
ton. The administration and Secre-
tary Taft is earnestly not only commit
ted to the Cuban reciprocity treaty but
is in favor of its renewal next year,
and campaign has already been
inaugurated to work for renewal of
the treaty and at a lower rate of duty
in Cuba's favor than now obtains.
If the Michigan delegation in con-
gress does not want this treaty renewed,
to the detriment of the American su-
gar interest, it will hasten to array it
self solidly against both of these meas
ures.

The adjournment of the Pennsylva-
mia Legislature last week, after making
appropriations amounting to fifty
seYen million dollars, makes Michigan g
seven or eight million appropriations
for two years look exceedingly small.
And that Pennsylvania legislature was
of the reform type, too. and adjourned
with the record of having redeemed all
of its pledges of the previous campaign.
But the matter of state appropriations
Is direction in which Michigan is not
anxious to do any record breaking.
With the necessities provided for we
are quite willing tostand near the foot
OF the list SO to appropriation totals.
