snaIIs and PLUMB Mutton.


"Most people would be Mortified 20
learn that the finest mutton in the
world comes from sheep fatteDed on
snalls," says large breeder OF South,
down sheep, quoted In the London
Mail. Nevertheless 1t is a fact. In
seasons when snails are plentiful the
mutton from our sheep has delicious
flavor which Il never acquires from the
most scientific form of feeding. On the
continent a diet Of snails is a regular
cure for consumption and is said to
fatten and nourish the body In won
derful way. There is a popular super
stition that the unique and delicate
havor Of Southdown mutton is due
largely to the quantity of wild thyme
which they crop with the grass In their
pastures. But personally give the
snails the greater part of the credit for
the soft, plump flesh aud the sweetness
Of flavor in our celebrated sheep. So
much is this the case that the saying,
Good snail year, good sheep year. has
become almost proyerb among shep-
herds and breeders

IL Occurred In tho Treasure Vaults e.
King Of Esypt.
Robbenes Of treasure reach back into
ANTIQUITY, and tue latest achievement
of the twentieth century cracksnnn is
pamlleed IN tie time of tie pharaobs.
Ever since civilization has been, and
wealth measured in precious dollars.
jewels aud metals, mans cupldlty has
been aroused and thieves strlyeu to
gain ease and luxury by stealing the
treasure OF others
The first burglar Of treasury wants,
so far as known to history, occurred
when Rh0mpsinitus was king OF
Egypt he possessed so much money
that none of the kings relgnlng after
him in Egypt was able TO rival lim in
riches
Thinking TO have his treasure safely
kept he had constructed the best bur-
glar proof vault that the builders OF
that day knew how to make--a solid
chamber of stone. The builder fitted
one OF the stones so that 1t might be
easily removed by two men OF by one
exceptionally strong, After the com
pletion Of this chamber the King laid
his treasures in it, thinking chem safe
from designing hands, But when the
builder came TO die he called his two
sons and directed them how they might
get the kings riches
After his death the sons went to the
palace, quickly removed the stone In
the wall and almost depleted the kings
vessels of their money and treasure
When The king opened the vault lie
found II nearly empty, yet the seals
on the entrance door were unbrokcn
and the chamber apparently secure,
He determined to set trap. He seal
ed it as before Again and again he
broke tie seals, each time finding the
precious treasure diminished, and then
he had traps put about The treasure re-
ceptacles. One day the trap caught its
victim. and the man being unable to
free himself, he ordered his brother to
cut off and carry away his head TINT
both should not be ruined by the dis
aster, This was done BY one stroke Of
the others sword.
The next day the king came and
found the headless body Of man In
the trap, while the chamber was still
apparently without means of exit.
Much mystifed, he had the headless
body suspended from gallows In full
view Of the populaee, thinking that
possibly the dead mans relatives would
betray themselves by their agitation at
the spectacle.
Then a new difficulty arose for the
remaining SON His mother com
manded him to cut down the body and
bring 1t to her. else she would expose
him to the king, After a little time
he succeeded in giving the kings sen
tries Knockout drops and took his
brothers. corpse to his mother.
The king was pngrler than ever
not only because of the theft OF his
treasure. but because of the disappear
ance of the body Of one of the Villains
Then his daughter was set TO catch
the thief, She was to seize him by
the arm, yelling furiously when he
should reveal himself. The young
man heard Of the plot however anJ
circumvented it. He took With him

she seized him he placed 1t in he,

There is no doubt but that large
per cent of the degradation, disgrace,
ruin and crime among the young,
springs from the habit Of night prowl-
ing, corner loafing and kindred acts by
both sexes in city, town and hamlet
all over this broad country. ANY per-
son who keeps his or her eyes opeu
knows this. Hundreds of boys and
girls are out at night, and we all
know that many influences for evil
and none for good surround them con-
tinually. A curtew restriction may
be derlded as Old fashioned and Puri-
tanical, but the fact remains that
there is vastly less night prowling 10
towns that have curfew ordinance
and enforce it.

The above question Is often asked con-
cerning DIR. Pierce's two leading medi-

School Law Violated.

According to County School Com
missioner Milford there is an appar-
ent disposition throughout the county
To evade the school law as regards at
tendance. 1t has been held by some
that One-half day each week fulfilled
the requirements, but a ruling just
made by Commissioned Milford con-
strues the law TO mean attendance all
day and FIVE days each week during
the session. The law on the subject
seems clear as it provides "every par
ent, guardian or other person in the
state Of Michigan having control and
charge Of any child between the ages
Of aud Is years shall he required to
send such child to the public schools
during the entire school year. and
such attendance shall be continuous
and consecutive for the school year
fixed by the district in which such
parent. guardian or other porson in
parental relation may reside"
The commissioner interprets the
law to mean that the pupils shall be
in attendance each and every day of
the school session and that no excep-
tiOnS can be made other than those
provided for by the law. Many par
ents desire their children TO remain
away from school for short time to
assist them with the work, but under
the law there is no provision for this.
Last week three incOrrigibles were
brought before Judge Harris and their
cases were adjourned for further hear.
ing. Fred Middlestad was one of the
offenders from Boyne City. and he was
charged in the complaint with run
ming away from home, and taking
money and other things not rightfully
belonging to him.
Another boy before the Judge was
Harry Dudley of East Jordan, who the
complaint alleges refuses to obey his
parents, will not attend school, smoke
cigarettes and spends his time loiter.-
ing about the streets.

uses vile and obscene language. The

the large number of friends who had
come TO pay their last respects was
more than words. 4he pail bearers
were those who had attended school

wealth Of flowers which banked the
