Merrill Advocate: Miss Virginia
Ellis of Grand Rapids was the little
hostess at a birthday party last
Saturday. Mrs. C. ]. KinzeI and
children, Mrs c. H STANCE and
children and Eleanor Frank of this
city were in attendance.
Jack Series, who has been in
charge of the United States Express
Co.'s business in this city, has re
signed his position to take effect
Monday, May 3rd, and will leave fcr
Lacrosse to enter tie service of the
company at that place. The 1oca
interests of the company will be
looked after by Lee Rumsey.
True, there are no merchant
princes here, as are found in the
larger cities, but at the same time the
town is remarkably free from the
class that is watched with tender So
licitude by the wholesale houses, and
whose devious ways cause much fore
boding to their numerous creditors.
1t has fallen to the lot of the
writer to travel up and down this
broad commonwealth to a consider
able extent, in search of business
and pleasure, and without an attempt
to flatter the good people of this
section it can be truthfully said that
no town of equal size has yet been
found that equals our own little city.
The farmer, if he only knew it,
is little nearer the kingdom OF
heaven than anyone on earth. He is
certain of three square meals day
and is the only man who can fence
himself in and live in spite of the
rest of mankind. A few cattle and
sheep and fowls provide him with
food and clothing, while his fields
yield him flour and q source OF
revenue. So generous are these pro
visions and so common, that hardly

of them, although the ordinary bust
ness man thinks he has done well
when he reaches the end of the
year and finds that hehas little
more than made ends meet.
There is not a man in our city,
however Indifferent to the claims OF
Christianity, who would want to rear
his family here if there were no
churches or church influence, for
he at once recognizes them as the
guardians of the morals of the com
munity. What would be the condi-
ton of this community at the end
of the next ten years if from this
time until then the churches were
closed? To what extent would life
and property be safe? And yet, with
all the organized agencies of the
churches, the devil too frequent
ly holds high carnival. What might
we not expect if wholly Invested OF
these good influences?

The Emotional Jury

Rev. Anna Shaw was discussing
playfully her contention-raised at
Mrs. Clarence Mackay's house-that
man, not woman, was too emotional to
vote
why" said the learned lady, take
all these extraordinary jury stories.
They show the most intense emotion
alism. And yet they have nothing to
do with woman.
For instance, there's the story OF
the Tin Can murder. The jury re-
manned out "a hours. Then it filed
back into the courtroom, very stale
and ill-humored.
Gentlemen, what is your verdict?'
said the Judge
Wall, said the foreman, IL on us
is for hangin', jedge, yer honor; but
the twelfth man sticks out for acquit.

him. He's a lowdown, no count

cided to make our verdict unaner-

The Shakespeare club Of New Or
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the local prominence of the actors.
Once a social celebrity, with a gor-
geous costume, as one Of the lords In
waiting had only four words to say:
THE queen has swooned." AS he
stepped forward his friends %applauded
vociferously. Bowling his thanks, he
faced the king and said, in a high.
pitched voice: The O has
queened."
There was a roar Of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made an
other attempt:
1.-THE sween has cooned."
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said In a voice which
could be heard all over the house:
Come of, you %doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in a rasping fal'
setto, as he was assisted of the stage,
he screamed: The coon has
sweened."-Success Magazine.

The Newer Way.

Many ideas in regard to women
have entirely changed. and among
the better and wiser changes Is that
old thought that the women who
were given to good works must needs
be dowdy. 1t is unteniable that
good women used to wear dowdi-
ness as a sort Of hall mark OF vir.
tue. AS a matter Of fact. dowdiness
is merely a mark Of bad taste and a
sign OF some lack In the mind. Wom-

dom that chooses pretty rather than
ugly clothing, and those who do not
make the best OF their appearance are
losing a golden opportunity Of giving
