April l, 1908 This time limit is one

FINGERS OF VARIOUS VALUES.
Thumb Is Easily the Most important
of the Digits.

You have only to grasp pen or a
tool of some sort to realize that the
different fingers are far from having
the same value with reference to their
usefulness in performing work. Much
the most important is the thumb, for
without 1t prehension would be very
imperfect. The hand is no longer pin
GERS, but merely a claw, when deprived
of the thumb. 1t may be estimated
that the thumb represents fully a
third Of the total value of the hand.
The total loss of the thumb is esti-
mated by competent authorities as IS
to 35 per cent. for the right and 10 to
Is per cent. for the left hand, except
for workers IN art, when 40 to so for
the right and 25 to 40 per cent. for the
left hand comes nearer the value
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at
from Is to 25 per cent. for the right
hand and 10 to Is per cent. for the
left. The middle finger Is less impor-
tant than the index. The ring finger
is least important, and the little finger
may be compared to its neighbor, ex-
cept in the professions in which 1t
serves as point Of support for the
hand.

Bravery and CoWardice of a Lie.

There Is no vice that doth so cover
man with shame as to be found
false and perfdious, wrote Sir Fran
els Bacon. And therefore Montaigne
saith prettiiy when he inquired the
reason why the word Of the lie should
be such disgrace, and such an odious
charge. Saith he: III it be well
weighed, to say that a man lieth is
as much as to say that he is brave
toward God and coward toward men,
For lie faces God, and shrinks from
man"
Surely The wickedness of falsehood
and breach Of faith cannot possibly
be so highly expressed as in that it
shall be the last peal TO call the judg-
ments of God upon the generations
OF men: it peing foretold that when
Christ cometh He shall not find faith
upon the earth"

When Aliens Die In Egypt.

Under the laws OF the country all
bodies must be buried within "a hours
after death. In the case of foreigners.
II relatives desire to remove the body,
1t must be embalmed or first buried
for year. The process Of EN- balming
in modern Egypt is not only very ey-
pensive, amounting often to $1,000,
but 1t Is undesirable. Neither is it
convenient often to bury the dead for
year preparatory to removal What.
ever objections therefore may exist
elsewhere to the burning OF the dead
SO that their ashes may be transported
to their own country, they are without
much force in Egypt. Recently law
has been passed allowing this dispo
sition OF the dead, but as 1t Is against
the religion of the Mohammedans, the
government does not see its way to
providing for the burning.

AFFAIRS OF The CO.
OPERATIVE STORE AIRED.

At hearing before Court Commission
er Markham on Friday and Saturday Of
last week the affairs of the defunct
Manitowoc County Cooperative As
sociation were given quite thorough air
ing.
A suit has been begun against E. M.
Carstens, Miss Lizzie Carstens, j. g..
Lehmkuhl and Deunis Healy, in behalf
of the stockholders of the concern, by
Adolph Wolf, II former stockholder,
and the examination was conducted by
the attorneys for the stockholders, the
proceedings being had Under the dis
covery statute. The examination de-
veloped the fact that but one inventory
of the stock of the concern is now in ex-
istence, that being the one taken in 1905,
all of the others having been either dc
stroyed or lost.
An expert accountant has been at
work on the books for some time past
and his Investigations shows that the
first years sales totaled S26 800. The
gross profits for this year were $4420,
and the expenses $416l0O. Six months
later another accounting was had in
which sales for the period were shown
to be $16 104. 90 and net profits $4,000
and thirteen months after this third
accounting showed sales for the period
to be $34 070 90 with a loss of 81, 9Ss 90.
Mr. Carstens was invited to explain this
loss but he was unable TO do sc. Mr..
Carstens was manager of the Co-Opera-
tive store from the time it begun to do
business until it was forced to close.
1t is apparent from the examinations
that the books of the concern are some
what mixed, and that the actual profits
made did not justify the payment of all
of the dividends which were paid. The
hearing was concluded Monday fore
noon.

MURDERED BY HIS UNCLE.

William kuchenDerg or Marlnette,
young man aged 20 years, was shot and
killed by his uncle, Charles Hayes of
Chicago, at the village of Maple Grove
on Thursday evening of last week.
Hayes, who is a man about sixty years
of age, went there Thursday afternoon
from Chicago to attend the funeral of
his mother, Mrs. Mulcahy Kuchen.
berg, who was grandson of the de-
ceased and nephew of Hayes, accom-
panied his mother and two sisters to
Maple Grove for the same purpose. 1t
appears that on Thursday evening the
two accompanied by D. B. Wheeler of
Chicago, a brotherin law Of Hayes, to-
gether with some others went to the
saloon of j. p Watt in the village of
Maple Grove and spent about an hour
there. They were served with few
drinks but SO far as can be learned none
of the party were intoxicated. They
started to leave the saloon and return to
the Mulcahy home about $3.50 O'Clock,
Wheeler walking on one side of Hayes
and Kuchenberg on the other. When
few feet away from the door of the
place, Hayes is reported to have said
Let Inc go, I've got to pull box"
Wheeler at once stepped to one side but
Kuchenberg who had hold of Hayes
arm kept his hold and at the same time
sought to induce Hayes to continue on
his way across the street to the sleigh i'll
which the party WAS to ride. Hayes
seemed to have been determined not to
90 and again said to Kuchenberg Let
me go or I'll shoot you" An instant
later he had gotten out a revolver and
holding it to Kuchenberg's head fired
the weapon. Kuchenberg dropped to
the ground and was dead before any
body reached him. Hayes was at oncesur'
minded and after some persuasion was
lduced to give up his revolver. Sher-
iff Lambries was then telephoned to and
arrived on the scene about two O'Clock
A. M. He Immediately started to the
city with Hayes and lodged him in the
county Jail here. The Coroner and Dis
trict Attorney were notified and they
went to Maple Grove Friday morning
and conducted an inquest on the body of
the dead man. The jury returned a yer
dict in accordance with the facts as a
bove stated.
Kuchenberg was twenty eight years
of age and unmarried. He has been en-
ployed as a conductor on the strest cars
of his home city.
HAYES was former resident of the
town of Maple Grove. having spent his
boyhood there. Nearly thirty years ago
he was employed as conductor on gray
el train on the Lake Shore Road, which
since has been taken over by the Chicago
and North Western. For many years past
he has made his home in Chicago, hav-
ing of late been employed as night
watchman by the firm of Tyrel, Ward
& Co, dealers in revolvers, watches etc
in that city.
No quarrel had occurred as far as can
be learned between the two men and no
motive can be ascribed for the deed.
Since being lodged in Jail Hayes persist
emily denies all knowledge of the shoot
ing and it is probable that plea of
Temporary insanity will be his defense
to the charge of crime that will be made
against him. He was arraigned in mum
icipal court Monday. The hearing was
adjourned to March II.

BASE BALL SPELLING.


One day while the superintendent was
visiting an egth grade in the city, the
period for spelling came and the eXer
cses was carried on In base ball 1t
proved very interesting and would add
much of interest to this subject in many
schools
The class is divided into two sections in
any way that the teacher chooses. Each
side selects pitcher and catcher. The
spoilers are arranged on each side in
some definite order and the spelling be-
gins. The teacher acts as the umpire
Let us surpoe one side is called y
and the other b. and that the As have
their inning. The pitcher on side B
pronounces the words giving each of the
spoilers on side A in turn 3 words. If
the speller spells all three words correct
ly he makes Il score. If he misses II
word zone chance only the catcher spells
it. If the catcher spells it correctly the
speller is out If the catcher also
misses, it is a pass ball. =" When three
are ont the side is out and side b has its
inning.
Tue score is kept on the black board 1t
may be well to spell only two or three
innings day and finish up the 9th in
ming on Friday afternoon. The spell
ing lesson should be definite and include
the review of words from previous days
of the week. This will compel every
member of both teams to master the
words of the whole week.
The same scheme may be used when
two schools meet at contest.
