a Scotch Anti-qoIf Law.

Scotland. us everybody knows, is the
land where golf originated and the
land where it most flourishes. But If
the law were strictly enforced north
of the Tweed it would go hard with
the players of the royal game in "bon-
ME Scotland" Golf players there may
not know it, but they are liable to u
sentence of death for their indulgence
in their favOrite sport. Technically
this is literally fact. In ancient
times, when Scotland always had work
for her soldiers to do. all young men
were required to perfect themselves in
archery. They preferred to play golf,
and so serious a rival did the game be-
come that it was for time suppressed
and made capital offense. That curl
GUS law never has been repealed and
may still be found on the statute book.
There seems to be no record, however,
OF the law ever having been enforced.

Political Notes.

Within the last few weeks there has
been notable increase in the senti-
ment in favor of the reelection Of
Senator Burrows throughout the
Tenth congressional district. The
many friends of the senator through
out the counties bordering on Lake
Huron and the Straits Of Mackinaw
have been untiring in their efforts in
his behalf, and the result is that the
prediction Is freely made that Senator
Burrows will have two votes to his
opponents one throughout this terri
tory. AS a matter Of fact, so strong
has this sentiment become that in
Bay City bets OF 10 to 8 have been
made that Senator Burrows will carry
the Tenth district.

We regret not being able to print the
full address of Congressman Fordney
delivered in the house on Friday after
noon last in reply to the speech of SEN
ator Beveridge at the Indiana Republi-
can state convention, the former up
Holding and the latter criticising the
present tariff law. AS the remarks of
Mr.. Fordney would fill more than two
pages of the paper we have to be con-
tent with giving brief summary.
1t has been understood for some time
that William A. Rosenkrans Of Corun-
ma, would seek the Republican nomina-
hon for senator in this district and his
announcement published today no long
or leaves any doubt as to his candidacy.
His platform is brief and directly to the
point and cannot be misunderstood. AS
10 United States Senator he takes the
ground that every legislative candidate
should, viz, that his vote for senator
will be cast for the man who receives
the greater number of votes at the Sep
bember primary. AS to the other state
nent that if he is chosen he will serve
the district and state to the best of his
ability, no one who knows Mr.. Rosen-
krans will for moment doubt. That
he will be the nominee and successful
candidate in November is not question
ed by any one as he seems to be the
unanimous choice of the Republicans
Of Shiawassee county and has assur-
ances from Ingham county of generous
support. After January 1st, it will be

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
USE OLD DAVIS HOME.
Battle and Collect Oysters and Crabs
Near New Orleans.

The veterans Of the Confederate ar.
my are housed in the home which was
once the house of Jefferson Davis, on
the gulf of Mexico. not far from New
Orleans. where they can see the blue
eXpanse of water. bathe to their
hearts content and in spare moments
collect oysters or catch crabs from the
piers in front.
Beauvoir is an ideal spot for an old
mans home. 1t was given to Mr. Davis
by a southern woman xho admired
him greatly, and for my years he
and his family lived there when they
were not in the larger cities 1t is
one of the many southern homes On
the Mississippi and Louisiana stretch
of the gulf of Mexico. with their shell
roads in front and wide domains COW
cred with trees behind.
1t is built in the usual style of that
region, with n long, wide hall extend
ing through the middle of the house
and opening on to a veranda or gal
lery which runs across the front. The
hall is used as living room, and off
from 1t are bedrooms. In the ward Is
guest house, where Mr.. Davis enter
tained his friends, and a small but
well stocked library is housed in a cot
tage which fell to the Davis family
with the house.
But the estate of Beauvoir is not the
only attraction the veterans enjoy, for
it is situated in one Of the most UNIQUE
regions of the United States. This
part was the home of the Arcadians
who migrated there from Nova Scotia,
and it Is also the home of many aris-
tocratic creoles who live there the
whole year or own picturesque sum-
mer cottages, retiring to New Orleans
or Mobile in the winter.

FIBER PREVENTS DROWNING

One of the most important life saw

both fairly heavy, seemed to have no

were stuffed with kapok, the new life
