MICHIGAN.
With Detroit and Wayne county es-
t1mated, and with five other counties
out of the total of eighty-three miss
ing, the Detroit News estimates that
Gov. Warner, Rep, is reelected by a
plurality of 1929 over his Democrat
ic opponent, Lawton T. Hemans.
The Free Press, with Wayne, Glad
win, Benzie and Leelanau counties
missing, gives Warner a lead of
1916.
Interest in the governorship contest
centers around the result in Wayne
county, where only fifty precincts out
of a hundred and f1fty-fve have been
completed.

Canine Intuition.

A railroad eating house in Southern
Georgia, which enjoys the reputation
of being one of the worst places of
its kind in the State, has an ancient
darby who announces dinner to the
incoming passengers by ringing a
huge bell
One day the old negro was accom-
panied by a .sad-eyed, long-eared
hound, who at the first ringing of the
bell, lifted up his voice in most dis
nal howl.
The old darby stopped and gazed
at him for a moment, and with a
Hush yer mouth" started ringing
again.
Again the old hound with nose in
the air sent forth a long-drawn howl
This was too much for the bell
ringer, and, turning on the hound, he
remarked:

Not Pierre Lott.

Those who aspire to literary fame
or who are in anywise pulled up with
pride and yainglory because it has
come to them may be surprised to
find it is not thing which is envied
and coveted by all men, for in GER
tain French journal there appeared
recently the following announcement
inserted by rat-trap maker of
Lyons: ''To All Whom 1t May Con-
Germ: M. Pierre Lott, of Lyons, sole
inventor of the automatic rat trap,
begs to state that he is not the same
person and that he has nothing in
common with one Pierre Lott, wri-
ter of romances." We should have
liked to have seen the face of lone
Pierre Loti' when he read this notice,
and hope that any tendency which he
may have shown toward sinful pride
may since it appeared have been
chastened to a becoming humility
