McEaehern won the first prize, a hand

testants and the large number of votes
cast was an evidence of their popularity
The carnival has had very successful
week Notwithstanding the severe weather,
and not an unpleasant incident has hap
pened to mar the occasion. 1t will close

charge conveyed in that statement is
absolutely and unqua1ifedly false.

1t is surprising what some men
want do to further their interests in
politics. We see by our exchanges in
this district that both Mr.. and Mrs.
A. K. Morse, Of Amigo, are giving
lectures on different subjects for the
benefit Of churches or other organiza-
tions, which they can interest in
working up patronage. He gives his
lecture free, while Mrs. Morse charges
l5c admission to listen to her address
on the Panama Canal and then they
donate the receipts to the Church
Society who interest themselves in
getting the audience. The Congress-
man, emphasizes his lecture with a
jackolantern. Wehope Grand Rapids
will not be sighted with these attrac-
tionS.

THE COUNTRY BOY.

The city boy is often likely to ridi-
cule the country boy. He is usually
dressed in better style. He has &C
Quired polish in manner and free
dom from the bashfulness with which
the boy from the country is often aft
flicted The boy brought up in the
city knows more of entertainments
and theatrical matters. He has been
to dancing school and is not afraid
of the girls.
But he should beware of concluding
that he is very superior to the coun-
try boy. The boy brought up on the
farm knows many things of which
the city boy is ignorant The boy
in the country has much more time
to think. He reads and thinks over
what he has read. He has time to
draw comparisons, to follow out a
line of reasoning, to draw conclusions
He forms ideals. He has aspirations.
Without these, one seldom rises to
any great height in life.
The boy in the city is deprived of
all the benefits of the close asso-
citation with nature that the country
boy has. While laughing at the 'hay
seed" the city boy should remember
how large a part of the men who
have risen to eminence in life were
country boys and not sons of rich
men.
Life in the country develops a self
reliance, a grit" or backbone ;"
that makes the country boy able to
stick to what he undertakes to do
and carry out his plans.
The city boy has too many things
to distract his attention. There are
too many ways. calling for his spend
ing money and often he is tempted
to spend much more than is right
for him. The country boy has to be
more frugal But it frequently happen
that the country boy becomes capable
of holding responsible positions
while the city boy who has laughed
at him is glad to hold a little clerk
ship or a minor position in business.
Instead of poking fun at one an
other each should endeavor to learn
