fore adjournment for dinner, and
had not announced himself for Con-
gress from the Tenth district or exz
pressed a preference as between Mr..
Eve or Mr.. Evans, there was an au-
dible and visible disappointment.
No less than half a dozen times
during the speech there was a spas
modic call from the crowd around
the stand for him to say whom he
wanted his friends to vote for, but
in each instance Mr.. Watson kept on
in the thread of his argument His
raps at Mr.. Hardwick were cheered
to the echo and it was plain, when
Mr.. Watson called upon the crowd
to help him defeat Thomas W. Hard
wick for Congress, from the manner
of the response that it but remained
for Watson to signify his preferences,
whether it had been himself or one
of the others, and that candidate
would have gotten more support
than would have come from any
other political gathering held in the
district
When Mr.. Watson left the stand
there was a considerable stir, but the
fact was notable that few of the peo-
pie left the grounds, they had, rather,
gathered in groups around the court
house lot and were plainly in deep
and earnest conversation. Several of
Mr.. Watson's close friends were seen
moving from one to another, and it
was not long before the purpose leak
ed out
"We've got to put him in this race,
and it's got to be done right now"
came from Major McGregor, and i'm
mediately the suggestion had a rapid
spread.
AS Mr.. Watson mounted the plat
form voice in the crowd cried:
''Tom, Old Man Peepul and all the
boys are here today" and amid con-
tinued applause, Mr.. Watson stood
awaiting his opportunity to begin his
speech.
During the dinner interval num-
bers Of people were seen going to Mr..
Watson's house, and in less than half
an hour it was known all over the
streets of Thomson that a strenuous
effort was being made to bring Mr..
Watson out. Later it became known
that Mr.. Watson was still rigidly ad-
herring to his original position that
when he went DdCK TO Cn0 democratic
party, he had said he was seeking
nothing for himself, and that he in
tended to stand by that promise;
that it was a promise, and he would
not break it.
The idea that he might yet enter,
chung, however, and, when it became
known that, despite the fact that he
was almost exhausted from his effort
of the forenoon, he would come back
to the court house and close the
meeting with another short speech,
there was some Of that same air of
mystery of the morning:
els Tom Watson going to enter
the Tenth district racer"
But, Mr.. Watson did not enter. He
told them again it would not do;
and contented himself with asking
again that they help him to fight the
race and defeat Hardwick.
He took several hand ballots, on
those who would stand by him in his
fight, who would help him down
Hardwick, and who would stand by
and help him make Chairman Harde-
man re-convene the Tenth District
Executive Committee for the pur-
pose of repudiating the new rule of
selecting a nominee, which he term

MADE YOUNG HUSBAND GRlEvE
Sight Of Joy Of His Heart Toiling In
the Kitchen Almost More Than
He Could Stand.

Dearest" he said. when married
you little thought should ever drag
you down TO such a life as this"
He bowed his head in his hands.
He was the facsimile of detection.
Never mind. Halsey," the fair young
wife replied, as she hustled about the
kitchen. Il married you not for a life
of ease, but because / loved you,
dear, and / swore TO love you In veal
and in woe. Although" she added,
as she burned her lily hand on the
stove-lid litter. Il must say that did
not have anything of this sort In
mind"
Reared in the lap OF luxury, this
lovely creature was poorly fitted for
the cares and burdens of housekeep'
ing, and II was a hard blow 10 her
when the last hired girl in town left
her service to accept a position at the
pencil factory. But, think. dear read
er, how much harder IT was for the
husband, and how he must have suf
fered to see his precious darling
sitting in the smoke of the scorchine
eggs, and spraining her delicate wrists
in the mental act of prying the stewed
tomatoes out of the kettle.
Poor young people! II was little
good their riches did them in fac
tory town.

Lent in Pepys' Diary.

The question of fish diet in Lent
does not usually depend upon eco
nomic considerations nowadays. In
Pepys' time ii still did, and in varying
ways, according to circumstances. One
of the diary entries runs: I'VE had
this morning great dispute between
Mr.. Gauden, victualler of the navy,
and Sir J. Lawson, and the rest of the
commanders going against Algiers,
about their fish and keeping of Lent,
which Mr.. Gauden so mu0h insists
upon TO have 1t observed. as being the
only thing that makes up the loss OF
his dear bargain all the rest of the
year" On the other hand. in 1861,
"the talk of the town now is, who the
king is like to have for his queen; and
whether Lent shall be kept with the
strictness of the kings proclamation;
which is thought cannot be because
of the poor, who cannot buy fish"

NO GROUNDS FOR
COMPLAINT MADE
MAYOR w. FRANK JAMES MAKES
VIGOROUS DENIAL OF STORY
SENT FROM LANsl
ABOUT LOCAL TAXES.

The following story which was sent
out from Lansing and which was pub
lished i'm number OF lower Michigan
papers created quite "A furore among
the officials Of the city of Hancock to-
day:
The state board of assessors, which
has just returned from trip through
several OF northern counties. reports
that i'm the third ward of the city of
Hancock there is $24S.OOO in mortgages
which Is not on the assessment rolls,
and like conditions are said to exist i'm
other wards"
Mayor w. Frank James made a very
vigorous denial of the story when IL
was shown To him by n reporter for
The Calumet News. claiming the
statement credited to the state board
of assessors was ridiculous. Accord
ing to Mayor James there are only 24O
lots in the third ward of the city of
Hancock, and IL the total number OF
mortgages i'm this ward amounted TO
s24S, 900 as stated. it will be seen that
the average would be more than ST.
600 per lot which amount probably
equals or exceeds the average value Of
each lot.
Mr.. James denied that the mort
cages on Hancock property were so
heavy as that, stating that only n
small proportion of the property has
any membranes upon 1t. Most of
the mortgages on Hancock property
are held by the Northern Michigan
Building and Loan association and by
the banks, and these institutions are
exempt by law from taxes on mort
cages. According to Mr.. James, the
number of persons holding mortgages
on realty in the third ward is re-
markably few, and he believes that all
of them who should be found on the
assessment rolls are taxed to the full
amount.
Supervisor Turnkey of the third ward
reiterated the statement made by
Mayor James, when shown the story
from Lansing. Like other Hancock
officials. he is inclined to believe that
the state board was incorrectly quot
ed or badly misinformed concerning
the conditions here.

"Bill" did as he was told.
"Now walk across the ROOM" said
the army man.
"Bill" knew from the actions OF the
army officer that he had made good
mark and wanted 10 increase his aver
age. He started across the floor,
bringing every inch of his weight TO
bear at every step. He looked back.
Yes, he was doing fine. He could
plainly see the whole imprint of his

wholesale colonization of picked men

trade-with fish, oil, butter and skins
in exchange with meal and malt-was
kept up with Norway, Denmark and

was unimpaired, justice was fairly

kept all foes at a distance. and under
such conditions the growth of the new
community in wealth and culture was
surprisingly rapid.-John Fiske.
