Brief Mention,

thrown in the house hopper were fish
and game bills, bills to regulate the
sale of and use of gasoline and kero-
sene and to make judgments rendered
in the superior court of Grand Rapids
and the records court of Detroit liens
against real estate.
A bill is being prepared by Rep.
Ogg which is designed to prevent a
stock broker firm like Cameron Cur
rie & Co.. of Detroit. from failing and
causing loss to its patrons. The bill
provides for even more rigid examina-
tons than are given to banks.

poses a fine of from $25 to $3.50 and
sentence of from 30 to 100 days.
Some important measures pertain
ing to fraternal insurance will be

That the farmer is taking a strong
interest In the law making of the state
is evidenced by the fact that there
are more farmers than any other voca-
ton in both house and senate The

second with 35. There are IL mer-
chants and the rest are scattering, but
there is only one manufacturer.
A motion has carried In the house
to send the Legislative Journal to all
newspapers who request IL. A postal
card request to the speaker or clerk of
the house is all that is necessary.
The house Strengthened out the Mon
roe county mix-up when the name of
J. Wesley Kimmerling was named on
the ticket for representative, when in
fact G. Wesley Kimmerling was the
candidate. What complicated matters
was the fact there was a j. Wesley
Kimmerling in the county. The house
by special vote seated the right Kim
merling, who celebrated the occasion
by taking seat number one and intro
ducing a bill to regulate fishing in
Raisin river.

Saloon Legislation.
Limiting the number of saloons ac-
cording TO the population will have a
decided effect on the home rule propo-
sition. The present law provides for
the division OF the $500 annual license
between the city and the county. ex-
cept In the upper peninsula. where
the entire amount goes TO the city,
township or village in which II Is col
lected. 1t is already claimed that the
tax rate will have to be raised. for 1t
is fixed by taking into account the
amount of liquor money. The anti
saloon league will seek to have passed
at the present session of the legisla-
ture an amendment to the present law
which states that unless liquor is sold
or given to either minors or posted"
men in saloons, the party so handing
out the intoxicant cannot be punished.
All Counties Interested.
An Interpretation of the clause re-
lating to road-improvement in the new
constitution is desired by the officials
of Saginaw county. 1t also concerns
all counties in the state where maca-
dam highways are building. Saginaw
county desires to build at once many
miles of stone roads in the form of
trunk lines across the country, to cost
100000. Under the new constitution.
a county must formally vote for the
adoption of the county road system
before same shall become operative.
Legal opinion differs widely as to
whether the supervisors can go ahead
and order SO tax levy without hav-
ing their action ratified by a vote of
the people.
Home Rule.
The home rule bill under which
nearly all local legislation in Michigan
is TO be secured has been put in the
hands of Rep. Charles Flowers. who Is
In conference with prominent civic
and commercial bodies and expects to
have a measure which will be both
broad and sound. 1t is expected to APP

writing is the one that needs morn
ing after inspection the most.
Quite frequently that's the letter that
will just go straight to the waste bas-
ket instead of the letter box.
That's nearly always the best place
for letters written in anger.
l don't at all agree with the advice
that I read the other day that one
should never write a letter when one
is angry.
Indeed, I think that's a splendid
thing to do when one is angry: it re-
lieves you, Gains you down, helps you
to see the thing logically, does you
good all around,-but after your letter
is written, then-well did you ever
hear what Lincoln said to his secre-
tary of war?
Stanton cnce showed the president
letter written in answer to general
who abused the secretary of war and
accused him of favoritism.
Lincoln heard it through with his
usual quizzical air and then exclaimed
rapturously!
That's first rate, Stanton. You've
scored him well. Just right"
AS the pleased writer folded up the
paper for it's envelope Lincoln quickly
inquired, "What are you going to do
with it now?"
Stanton explained that he was going
to send it by the next mail.
mo, no. expostulated Lincoln, don't
do that That would spoil it all.
You've written it and gotten it off
YOUR mind. Now file it away"
In the words of the poet: "Thems
my sentiments, too"
Only I'd suggest that a waste bas-
ket be used for the file.

When the Conquerer disd, William
Rufus was crowned at Westminster
abbey, Sept. 26, 1887. William Rufus
was then 81 years and full of energy
and ambition; he was of medium
height, squarely built, very strong, and
he had yellow hair and such a ruddy
face that it suggested the Rufus Cor
red) in his name.
Almost Immediately he began the
hard fighting and the political schemes
that kept him busy during his entire
reign. He called great councils to-
gether to settle certain questions Of
dispute, and thus established con-
nection between the monarchy and the
people that has served England so
we'll.
Suddenly William Rufus had de-
sire to build something that should
mark his reign. There was a banquet
hall in the palace of Westminster, and
although it was large it could not ac
commodate the parties that William
Rufus called together.
So he determined to build a huge
banquet hall, disconnected with the
palace; later he would destroy the
old palace and rebuild on the splendid
scale of his banquet hall When this
was finished it was 240 feet long and
70 feet wide.
William held only one grand BAN
quet in his new hall. 1t was a festi-
val upon the occasion of Whit Sunday.
There were huge paints of meat and
whole casks of wine. Just after this
the king went hunting in his great
garden One Of his courtiers, Sir
Walter Tirrel, shot an arrow in the
hunt that hit tree, glanced off and
killed the king. His men ran and left
the body, but some peasants wrapped
it in a coarse cloth and took it to Win
chester
His brother Henry seized the crown
and the domains in Normandy, as
Henry 1. Fifty-four years later Hen
ry II made the great banquet hall the
consecrated chamber of justice, and
here nearly all the famous trials Of
English history have taken place.
