kinda deceptive cuss. After the

didn't have friends enough left to
buy him a package Of cigarette
papers. When Guiteau shot our
martyred president he came to him
as a friend. When you see little
black animal with a white stripe
down its back and an elevated
bushy tail you know what it is and
you leave it alone.
From his build and manner you
know he is not trying to deceive
YOU OF the two kinds the human
skunk is the worst. Deceit is more
killing than smell. An empty coat
sleeve on a man we once knew told
the story of misplaced confidence.
While moving grass in meadow
he discovered the head of RATHER
rising above the bog. With a sweep
of the scythe he cut it off. The
man did a good job, and only for
what happened afterwards would
have been entitled to a medal.
Never having had any experience
with snakes, he bent down and
picked up the head. 1t bit him
through the thumb and he lost his
arm. He had been deceived in
thinking the snake was dead.

MEMORIAL DAY AFTERMATH.

Memorial Day will hereafter
gather around it not only the love
and tears and pride Of the gener-
atoms of the people, but more and
more, in its inner circle Of tender
ness, the linking memories of every
cOmrade, so long as one survives.
AS the dawn ushers it in, tinged
already with the exquisite flush of
fastening June, and sweet with
the bursting fragrance of her roses,
the wheels of time will each year
roll back, and lol as if but yester-
day you recall the soldier boy, recall
him now alike with tears and pride.
Do you ask who he was? He was
in every regiment and in every
company. He went out from every
city, village and hamlet. he sleeps
in every burying- ground. Recall
romance, recite the names of heroes
of legend and song, but where is the
peer of the American volunteer?
By the sacrifice of the Union
soldiers, some questions were settled,
never to be leopened over which
politicians, and statesmen, and
philosophers had wrangled a hun
dred years. The graves of hundreds
of thousands of patriots are our
witnesses today, that henceforTh,
from the pine forests of ou1 cold
north border to the orange groves
OF the gulf, from the great Atlantic
metropolis OF the Empire state to
golden gates of the Pacific, the stars
and stripes will brook no rival.
Liberty, union, equality are ours
because of this sacrifice; hence, do
we not justly enroll their names a
mong earth's benefactors, and gar
land their graves as heroes and
martyrs?
He who plows and plants that
others may reap is of noble blood;
but he who dies that a nation may
live is made of that superfine fiber
that justIfes the songs that sing
ms deeds and the wreathed marble
that marks the sacred spot where
his ashes sleep.
White for their spotless honor, red
for the blood they shed,
Cover their graves with blossoms,
homer the soldier dead,
They who fought our battles neither
in rage nor wrath,
They whom steadfast duty called to
the soldiers path;
Few are the ones remaining. grizzled
and bent and gray,
Aye, and their ranks are thinning
steadily day by day;
Cheer as they falter past us, they
who are left us yet.
There is the flag; uncover! let not
a soul forget!

Reports from other parts of the
state show that the seeds are rot

The "big head" is a popular way
of expressing a common and very
frequent ailment. 1t arises from
various sources, but the real founda-
ton is a lack of sense. A little
money deveIopes it in some people;
a few good clothes gives it to others;
a little Office, where a chance is
given to exercise a little authority,
is often the cause of it while others
get it by having little better job
than their associates. The truth is
no sensible person gets the ''big
head" The one who becomes stuck
up and stiff necked from sources of
any kind. is weak in the intel
lectual caliber.

Terrible Revenge.

1t was a terrible revenge taken by
the state chairman, who acted appar-
emily unmindful of the consequences
it might have upon his own political
future The latest victory of the
Marinette millionaire in plucking vic
tory out of the very jaws of defeat
is also probably the most remarkable
and dramatic in the long list of Won
derful things done by this man, who
has risen from poverty to the accumu-
la1on of a fortune estimated to be
between $15,OOO,OO0 and $2O,OO0O00.
The excitement of this campaign
has been so intense that it can scarce
ly subside before that of another shall
be on, for Stephenson has given his
word that he only desires to finish out
the uneXpired term of Senator Spoon
err. Next year the state will again be
flung into a turmoil over a successor
to Stephenson. This contest is to be
settled by a primary election for the
first time. Who will the candidates
be? That is the next question to which
politicians will give their thought.
There may be legion. Former State
Senator W. H. Hatten has already an
nounced himself as a candidate. This
was determined upon Immediately
following the nomination of Stephen
son. IT is quite probable that Con-
gressmen Cooper and Esch will not be
candidates. as each of these would
have to resign as congressman TO do
so. 1. L. Lenroot OF Superior is a
strong possibility and will probably
come into the race, and it is thought
by many State Chairman Conner will.
Contest Lasted Six Weeks.
The contest extended over Il period
of six weeks. SpOOner presented his

paper If such a boon to afflicted
humanity as is found in Mecklenburg
Lithia and Mecklenburg Chloride
Calcium waters was remote from US
perhaps their merit would be more
fully recognized and appreciated.
But they are near at hand, easy OF
access and do not cost IL great deal
to acquire and we are too prone to
overlook their virtues. That is IL
peculiar phase of human nature but
it is true nevertheless. Nothing Is
SO good as that which comes from a
distance. But more and more is the
fact impressing itself upon our people
that while distance may lend en-
chantment to the view it has nothing
to do with adding to or taking from
the virtues OF an article that pos
sesses real merit, and Mecklenburg
mineral waters are growing more in
popular favor and public demand as
they are better known. And to make
them still better known extra in
ducements are being offered to health
