The New School Law.

Several important changes were
made in the school laws by the last
legislature. One provision was alter
ed so that hereafter there will be no
school terms in this county shorter
than eight months. Heretofore a few
of the districts hired teachers for
five, six or seven months. The pres
ent law provides that all districts
having 400 pupils, or less than 400,
shall hold school eight months in a
year. The law has also changed with
reference to school treaSurers. Form
erly they were required to furnish
bonds double the amount OF money
that was expected TO come into their
hands. Now they give security for
the whole amount expected to come
IN. thus relieving them Of lot Of
annoyance in obtaining bonds. A
new provision was inserted to the
effect that when money is deposited
in a bank it shall be done in the name
of the treasurer and as the treasurer
of the district. The interest shall be
accounted for by the treasurer aud
credited to the general fund. Another
important addition was that persons
violating the compulsory school law
be brought before any justice Of the
peace In the county.

Boyesen's Story of His Boy.

Boyesens story or his BOY.
The late Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen
once told this story of his little son,
Hjalmar Ii. Boyesen ID: The boy had
been taken over Brooklyn bridge for
the first time and had piled his father
with questions about the big structure
all the way over, all the way back and
all the way home. Upon their return
the professor, worn out with the fusil-
lade to which he had been subjected,
retired to his study, but just as he
sank into his easy chair his son APP
peared and, apropos of nothing, que
ried, Say, papa, didn't you say that
God lived up above the cloudsT The
father YEARLY answered, "Why, yes, l
guess So" well, papa, If we were up
above the clouds we'd come through.
wouldn't we?" The man vouchsafed
a brief, II suppose So" "Well, papa,
why AT that point the professors
patience gave out and he said: There,
son, don't ask It, Go to your mother"
The child retreated, but just as he lift
ed his hand to the doOrknob he turned
and said, 'Say, papa, don't you know
great deal more about the Brooklyn
bridge than you do about God"

A Peculiar Fatal Accident AT
Boyne City.

A sad accident occurred az Boyne
City Wednesday afternoon. by which
Harry Clapper OF Grand Rapids lost
his life while in bathing.
Clapper, and his brother, had been
In Boyne City about week canvassing.
Wednesday afternoon they went to
Glenwood beach for the purpose OF
going in bathing. After procuring
suits they went out on tue dock
about twenty feet where the water Is
only three feet deep. Harry dove
head foremost into the water, striking
his head on the bottom. His brother,
seeing he didn't come up, jumped in
after him and carried him ashore.
Word was sent to Boyne City and a
launch sent after him. A physician
was summoned and after examination
it was decided that he was suffering
from a fractured spine, and 1t was
decided to take him to Grand Rapids
for further examination, where 1t was
found he was suffering from dIsloca-
ton and fracture causing a complete
laceraton OF the spinal cord, and no
hope was held out for him. Thursday
morning the unfortunate man died.
Mr. Clapper was about thirty years
old and leaves wife at Bellville,
Ohio.

The Potato Crop.

Potato shippers of Michigan have
lost more money the last season than
in any like period in the history OF
the business.
This was largely due to the high
prices which have prevailed for
months and the disposition Of so
many holders of stock to hang on TO
their supplies for still higher prices.
The acreage this year will be enor-
nous and the outlook now is for an
exceptionally large crop In this state
What other states will do cannot be
said, but in view Of the big prices
growers secured it is presumed there
has been quite general planting all
over the country. On the face Of
things this would Indicate much low
er prices when potatoes are ready for
marketing.
All the reports from correspondents
at different points is of splendid in
dications for large returns from the
present crop. This will be trifle
late owing to the backward growing
weather, but the weather we are get.
ting now is just the sort to produce a
big weld, and this is what all dealers
are anticipating. The new crop will
be getting into the market along in
August.

Of his experiences amid the Ice fields

at a critical moment"
But" exclaimed lady who had
been listening very intently, Il thought
that the Eskimo dogs were perfectly

piled, "I-er-speak in culinary

image Of n saint on the refectory wall
of the convent there.
The price stipulated was very low,
but 1t was agreed that the painter
should have his meals provided at the
expense of the convent until the work
should be finished. But the only food
supplied to the poor artist was bread

People to Be Pitied.

Feople TO BE Fitted.
Pitiful is the case of the blind, who
cannot read the face; pitiful the case
Of the deaf. who cannot follow the
changes of the voice. And there are
others also to be pitied, for there are
some of an inert and ineloquent nature
who have been denied all the symbols
OF communication, who have neither
a lively play Of facial expression nor
speaking gestures nor q responsive
voice nor yet the gift of frank, ex-
planatory speech-people truly made
Of clay, people tied for life into bag
which no one can undo. They are
poorer than the gypsy, for their heart
can speak no language under heaven.
