A Ouerv and a Hint

Does drinking a great deal of water
make one grow fleshy? 1 am thirsty all
the time but 1 do not want to be any
heavier than I am now.
I wish you WOsld give a few good
recipes for custard pie. In most books
they tell you - bake the pie partly be-
fore pouring in the custard. I have
tried this again and again, and the
crust bhsters, which makes an uneven
pie. Is there mo way Of preventing
this?

The deer hunting season is ended
and the loss of lives, while large is
somewhat smaller than last year. 1t
is becoming a dangerous thing to 60
to the north woods, the hunters being
numerous and the instances so frequent
where one man mistakes another for
deer and blazes away without TAX
ing time to investigate. In few
cases one hunter shot another in this
way but fearing the consequences if
discovered, skunk away without trying
to learn whether or not he could
render his victim any assistance,
leaving him to die alone and unaided
and without certainty that he would
be discovered by his friends even
after death.

The various amendments voted on
in Wisconsin at the recent election
were all carried by good majorities.
One of these provided that after 1912
no man of foreign birth shall be
entitled to vote in this state unless
he shall have taken out his full
naturalization papers and become in
reality citizen of the United
States. 1t is expected that this will
result in a largely increased list of
applicants for naturalization papers
during the next four years.

If you happen to get any of
those new two-cent postage stamps
it will be great thing to lay them
away and wait for the time when
they become valuable and the stamp
collectors begin offering a premium
for them. They are to be called in
because they do not bear the Arabic
numersl as is required by the uni
versal postal agreement, to make the
denomination known TO those un
famIliar with our language. The

1t is doubtful whether there is

in which the stores are carrying such
large and beautiful stocks of goods
in anticipation of the before Christ
mas buying season, as can be found
in Lancaster. This city has for years
enjoyed we'll earned reputation for
its exceptionally large and fine stores
and the stocks this winter seem to
be better and more attractive than
ever before. 1t is positive pleasure
for men, women and children to see
the beautiful displays made in the
show windows of the best stores and a
visit inside shows splendid stocks
which the early Christms shoppers are
now inspecting and making selec'
tions from. Lancaster is really one of
the best cities to trade in in this part
of the state and as prices are good for
everything farmers have to sell, and
everybody seems to have plenty of
money, it is expected that with favor

the largest Christmas trade they have

BREAD UPON THE WATERS.

Great changes in the affairs of men
are created by the revolutions of the
whirligig of Time. A political event
which has just taken place IL Michigan
brings to the mind of the editor of
The Herald a flood of recollecSions
concerning the career of his good
friend Senator William Alden Smith,
who is one of the principal figures in
the incident in question.
Thirty years ago Senator Smith.
who was then known as Willie
Smith, was a newsboy and pop corn
vender in the city of Grand Rapids.
He was bright and active and honest.
always wide-awake and always had
happy smile and cheerful word for
everybody. He attracted the atten-
tion of Doe Blndgett, wealthy
lumberman, who took an interest in
the boy and helped him to GIT an
education.
John I. Rich. who was afterward
state railroad commissioner. governor.
collector of internal revenue and lot
of other things in official life. was
about that time speaker of the house
of representatives ia the Michigan
legislature and secured the oppoint-
ment of young Will Smith as mes
senger boy 1t was his first political
job, and he never forgot the man who
got it for him. Smith ufterward
studied law and became noted in his
profession. He went to the
Legislature himself He became an
orator His eloquence and ability
helped him to get rapidly to the front.
He beat the most popular democrat
in his district as candidate for con-
gress, served with great distinction
tion in congress for ahnut twelve
yeats and became Que of the most
distinguished members of that body,
being ON the ways and means, foreign
relations and other important COM
mittees, and the idol of his district
Two years ago this winter he fought
the combined machine element of the
state and the entire fields Uf aspirants
as candidate for United States
Senator, and beat the bunch to
FRAGILE. Some day he is going to
loom large as candidate for pres;
dent.
A few days ago Link Avery,
one of the M ost subtle politicians and
the supreme political boss of the
Seventh congressional district of
Michigan. was separated from his job
as collector of customs at Port Huron,
which he had held for years, by
President Roosevelt, because of
pernicious and offensive activity in
politics. Senator Smith had the NAM
ing of Avery's successor. Instinctively
his mind went back to the days when
he most needed friends and influence,
and an offer of this good fat job
was made to Hon. John T. Rich who
had befriended him in those days.
Rich has held all sorts of good Jobs
but was never suspected of an incIina-
tion to refuse one, so he has accepted
this at the hands of the ex-popcoln
vender, now the most adroit and
popular political leader in the state
of Michigan.

In our publication of tue circuit
court PROCEEDINGS last week The Her
aid made mistake which 1T very
much regrets, by inadver tentlv speak
ing of Oscar" Brady as defendant IN
a case FROM Bloomington, which was
continued until December Is, when 1t
was Frank Brady who should have
been named. Both of these gentle
men live in Bloomington and the
publisher of The Herald has n-ver
met either of them The mistake in
names was innocently made and no
comment was made in
connection Herewith, but of course
it could not be exactly pleasant to
have ones name used as the supposed
defendant in such a case. with which
he had no connection whatever.
Oscar Brady was the democratic candi-
date for county clerk at the recent
election, and while we have heard
nothing from him, and he has ap-
parently taken no offense at the
unintentional use of his name, as
above stated, we are pleased to
make him an apology therefor and
assure him of our good will.

ing now would result in attracting
buyers from long distances to trade
here. Liberal advertising in the H r
aid has done much to attract trade
here which might ordinarily have
gone elsewhere, and having learned
that it paid to buy in Lancaster the
same buy ers will come again.
