FIFTY YEARS AGO
John Quincy Adams Recalls the
Mild Weather Then.

Jonn Quincy Adams, who has lived
in Owosso for years and is known to
everyone here, made an interesting
statement Thursday in which he said
that fifty years ago March 3rd, the
snow was entirely gone about here and
dry dust lay everywhere. Questioned
as to why he was so certain, Mr.. Adams
said that fifty years ago March 4, he
and Mrs. Adams were united in mar
riage. Under the circumstances it
seems quite natural Mr. Adams should
remember quite clearly the circum-
stances of that day.

Some Evening RsysrIes.

Cn6 ROAD you nave Deen CraV6llng
the past year. 1t seemed long
way when you started out, but it
has been traversed at last. See the
line of that road ever winding on,
while twisting here and there. Do
you remember that boggy place
into which You strayeds How you
promised yourself in your better
moments, II will turn over new
leaf" Have you been true to
yourself? If not, once more before
you step out into the pure new year
renew your promises to your better
nature. Don't stray, but linger
near the pleasant outlooks; keep
near the bits of high ground where
you breathe purer air and can see
afar off heavens high hills of blue;
make the motive pure work for the
object. Be diligent in seeking
better motives and in twelve more
short months take another retro
spective glance and see how much
pleased with yourself you will be;
how much more of goodness and
genuine worth this world will seem
to possess.
If you have enemies, go straight
on and don't mind them. If they
get in your way, walk around re-
gardless Of their spite. A man
who has no enemies is seldom good
for anything; he is made of that
kind of material which is SO easily
worked that everyone has hand
in it. A sterling character is one
who thinks for himself and speaks
what he thinks; he is always sure
to have enemies. They are as
necessary to him as fresh air; they
keep him alive and active. Live
down prejudice by right doing. #
you stop to dispute, you do but as
they desire and open the way for
more abuse. Let the poor fellows
talk; there will be a reaction if you
perform but your duty; and the
sparks which, if you do not blow
them out, will go out of themselves
and those once alienated will flock
to you and acknowledge their error.
1t is pleasant in these times to
hear of occurrences that show the
better side of human nature. Ii is
not worth while to hate anyone.
Life is too short to cherish ill-will
or hard thoughts. What if that
man has cheated you? or that woman
played you false? or some friend
forsaken you? Let it all pass.
What difference will it make to you
in few years, when you go hence
to that undiscovered country? All
who treat you wrong will be more
sorry for it than you in your deep
est grief. A few more smiles, a
few more tears, some pleasure,
much pain, little longer hurrying
and worrying in the world, some
hasty greetings and abrupt fare
wells and life will be over, and
injurer and injured will be laid
away and forgotten. 1t is not
worth while to hate each other.
This is our advice and, like saliva
ton, it's free. Try it during 1910.

on hope, because we are mentally
sustained by expectations, that New

eggs with double yelks, crows like a

is on exhibition in the exposition

sounds like ''nothin' doing and then
crows all over the lot at the Smith

for the remarkable performance of his

And is Raisuli Dead?

From the Chicago Tribune.
We devoutly trust that the news of
the death of our old friend Raisuli
is unfounded 1t is reported that he
has been poisoned by some enemy in
Morocco. No details were given and
the incident is dismissed by the press
in an offhand way uniting to the dis
tinguished contributions he made to
the gayety of nations. In two things
Raisuli eXcelled all his contemporaries,
at least in his own country. These
were as a host and as collector. In
his mountain home up MOgadOr way
he entertained with such royal hospi-
tally that his guests found it almost
impossible to come away. And as
collector he had Mr.. Loeb beaten
many nautical miles. There was no
favored nation i'll Mr. Raisuli's tariff
schedule and the maximum rate was
always applied. Senator Aldrich was
2 piker compared with him. He de-
serves to go down to history properly
chronicled. Sewall Ford did very we'll
at it in his tale, 'Truelove of Mega
DOR but Raisuli's story can only be
rightly told with the stage setting of
comic opera.
