KETcHEL,s FRIENDS SCARED

GRAND RAPIDS, Jan. 14-Since it
was made known that Stanley Ketchel
had agreed to meet Tommy Burns be-
fore Hugh McIntosh's Australian club
in April, Ketchel has been besieged
by hundreds of his friends to cancel
the fight, or, at least, postpone it.
Those who wish to advise the youthful
champion state that April will roll
around too soon TO find Ketche in con-
dition. and that Burns has had a long
rest and a chance to get into the best
shape.

one composed of the college seniors
mingled on a level stretch of the new

plants get in the water at one time you
will see a sight never to be forgotten.
The way they squirt water on each
other through their trunks, would put to
shame the best fire hose you ever saw.
They will dive under the water and re-
main there for ten or fifteen minutes,
breathing through their trunks which
they leave out of the water. The ele-
plants love the water and every possi-
BILE opportunity, the keepers with the
show take the entire herd to the river
for a swim This is usually done after
the afternoon performance.

TWO SITES SELECTED
NEW TRAINING SCHOOL TO BE
IN FIRST WARD
EITHER COSTS CITY OVER $1,000
Matter Disposed of by the Committee
Without Controversy. Other
Sites Too Small

The committee of the county super
visors, consisting of c. A. Coon of
True, V. " Miller of Grant and j. A.
Boyer of Willard, together with r. 0.
Sinclair of the Training School board,
appointed to select site for the new
Teachers Training School building,
met Thursday for that purpose. In
their tour of inspection of the various
sites proposed they were accompanied
by Prof. r. H. Burns of the Training
School and Messrs. Armstrong, Miller
and Baker of the Commercial Club.
Most of the sites obtainable were
deemed too small, consisting of but
two lots each. A larger one northwest
of the High School building was re-
jected on account of location.
The committee made two selections,
either of which they agreed would be
satisfactory to the county. One is
the north half of the block south of the
500 depot, consisting of four lots owned
by Jas. Hayes, the /. O. O. F. lodge,
John Lindoo and r. H. Burns. 1t is
estimated that this site will cost the
city about $240O and would necessitate
the removal of two small houses and
extending the sewer line one block.
The other site consists of about three
acres and is offered by Robt. Corbett
for $1,000. 1t lies south of MIR. Cor
belts residence and extends a block
and half east of Second street w.
BY vacating the south end of First
street, which has never been opened,
it would give compact body of land.
If the building were placed in the
middle of this street it would face the
Public Library at the north end of the
street This site is two blocks from
the water main and three blocks from
the nearest sewer connection.
Both sites are cleared and leveled and
either would make a fine location. 1t is
now up to the Commercial Club and
Common Council to decide between
them.

TO bEAUTiFY RIVER FRONT
Another Movement Started by the
Woman's Club

So frequently visitors to Ladysmith
are heard to remark that our river
front should have been laid out as
park, with drive along the top OF the
bank; but it was not and there is no
possibility of making it so now, there
fore we should make the most of things
as they are. The situation calls for
cooperative enterprise on the part OF
the property owners along the river.
The Woman's Club has had this
mnch-needed improvement under con-
sideration for some time as to the best
method of getting at it, and this week
sent out letters to the property owners
along the river calling their attention
to the matter.
The city owns a good part of this
frontage, back of the Carnegie Library,
the water works and the old school
building, which is quite as unsightly as
any of the rest.
Many of the property owners have
already expressed themselves as favor
able to improving the river front along
some general plan. Suggestions from
landscape gardeners are in order.

NEW STEAM PUMP IN OPERATION
No Fear Now as to Adequate Fire
Protection

The new duplex steam pump recently
purchased by the common council,
which has been put in place in pit
built for it on the south side of the city
well, began supplying the city with
water Tuesday. Engineer Holt gave it
a fire try-out Thursday by pumping
directly into the mains. Two 1-inch
streams from one hydrant were thrown
ninety feet into the air, and the pump
was running at only moderate speed.
The waterworks committee is now
satisfied that we have ample fire pro-
lection to- meet any emergency, as far
as the pumping capacity is concerned,
which has not been the case recently.
The old pump will be repaired and kept
in reserve.

for lowering casket into the grave.
1t consists of rectangular frame, be-
tween the two longer bars of which are
straps, wound to either bar and buckled
in the middle. At one end is a small
lever which releases a brake and the
weight of the caskt auses the straps
to unwind until the casket is at the
bottom of the grave, when the straps
are unbuckled and drawn up. This will

the Church is to rear its children into
Christian life. The Church in the past
has spent large amount of money and
energy in revivals, seeking to revive
and redeem men, while the children
were disregarded. To be sure they
were given great chunks of stale theol-
ogy, indigestable and Unreliable, but
for the most part the redeeming and
reviving process was depended upon.
''The irrationality and waste as well
as the injustice of this caused protest
as far back as the days of Bushnell,
and caused him to say, The child ought
to grow up Christian and never know
himself as otherwise These words
caused a stir but set the Church to
thinking, and now we can easily see
that Christian nurture is more rational
than redemption, and prevention many
times more economical than cure.
''The Church must still regard as part
of her function, the curing, redeemlng
and reforming processes, because there
are still sick souls and evil souls and
evil spirits in humanity; but this fact
is growing upon it, that the natural
and rational province of religion is to
rear a race of men that will not need
redeeming That Christianity is as
capable of making men as remaking
them.
"Thus realizing her great province,
the Church is everywhere turning its
forces toward the religious education
of the young 1t purposes taking the
energy and money once spent upon re-
vivals and putting it upon training
children into men who will not need
reviving. Why wait to save from evil
at great cost when the evil can be pre-
vented at infinitely slighter cost at the
beginning?
The biological principle lies at the
heart of the spiritual universe as wei
as the natural. Nature grows roses
beautiful; she does not remake then
from failures. The Church must grow
her children into the Kingdom of God. >
