CINE stops and you can't start
it," A. L. Walker begs to say
he has thirteen year old boy
who seems to thoroughly under
stand the ms and outs of that
engine and can start her and
keep her going any time. Wes-
ley seems to have some talent in
that line.
(The Editor did not PROFOUND
the query. This bit of smart
ness was slipped in by the print
err against our wishes. The
Herald desires at all times to
commend tine spirit that makes
improvements of this nature in
the county. We need more of
them. However, we are glad to
note the lads ability as a ma
chinist.)
The medal contest that was
held under the auspices of the
local w. Z. I. u. at Stonlngton
school house last Friday night
was largely attended, the main
room and vestibule being packed
and some outside being unable
to gain admittance. Those TAX
ing part in the contest were,
Eta Long, Louise Schweizer,
Julia Gilmore, Mrs VIII Eng
land, G. E. Konkel, VIII Sem
mems, and Clyde Gilmore. The
judges awarded the medal to
G. E. Konkel who won by 1876
points. Clyde Gilmore proved
himself dangerous rival by
coming on with 1876 points.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the
occasion and expressed them
selves as being well pleased with
the work Of the society.

OFFICIAL FUNERAL GIVEN
TO POLICE DOG HERO
Leo First To Be Killed While On
Duty; Comrade Fought To
Avenge Death.

PARIS, Dec. 23-The seventeenth
brigade OF the Paris city police has
demanded leave to organize special
funeral for the police dog, Leo, which
was shot by an Apache.
Leo. who was the pet of tn ebrigade,
was the first of the Paris cannes po-
lice &c be killed on duty. He was
working, with his comrade and friend,
the mastiff, Prince, OH the fortifica-
tions late the other night scouting in
front OF a cyclist police patrol. Just
under the massive stonework of the
disused defenses of Paris, the two
dogs halted before a gap that had been
recently torn through some wooden
palings.
They examined the spot, and then
returned to the police showing signs
that something was amiss. Two po-
licemen returned to the gap and de-
cided to go through. Leo and Prince
stole along at their side. The police
men decided TO put them Ill leash,
but they had not gone many steps
further when they were surprised Dy
revolver fusilade coming from the
other side Of a second fence, ten yards
away.
Satisfied that they had TO do with
local band Of "Apaches" the police
slipped the leashes OF the two dogs,
and then dropped to take cover. The
firing went on for fe wseconds, Out
Il did not stop the two dogs, VINO
leaned for the fence and made toward
one of the men who were firing at the
nolice. This man almost succeeded
in getting away, but after a short
chase the police seized him.
Another man who was held py the
police dog Prince, was also arrested.
Prince seized him with feroclty, anu
although the policeman who mad MN
in charge has generally had absolute
mastery over the dog, he could not
make him let go the mans wrlst'
which he had seized in his strong
Jaws. 49,.
For moment, the policeman was
nj loss to understand this unusual
behavior. but on looking round ne
discovered that Leo was lying dead
= few wards away. Leo had been shot
nv tho Apache" who was first cap
tnred His comrade Prince had mis-
taken the thiefs identity, and crap
pied with the other man.
Al the police station 1t was founi
that only one of the two men was an
"Anache." The other was a night
watchman who had used his revolver
because he mistcok the police for a
gang of thieves. who had given him
great trouble during the last rev
weeks.
One OF these "Apaches.' who was
really intent on attacking him, was
only few yards away when he, also
saw the police. but misunderstood
,ho,r real identity. 1t was he who
kille dthe police dog Leo.

DIVORCES ARE INCREASING.
Statistics Show One Divorce to Eight
Marriages In 1909.

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 23.-There
were eno-eighth as many divorces as
marriages in Michigan last year. In
1909 there were 3.5lS divorces grant.
ed, an increase OF over 610 over 1904,
which was the first year that divorce
statistics were complied.
The marriages are based on the I'M
married population at manageable
ages, while the divorce statistics are
drawn from the number OF married
people in Michigan. hence there can
De no direct comparison between the
frequency OF marriage and divorce
considered with reference TO the pop
ulation capable OF contributing TO
these events. without analysis OF the
figures.
During 1909 IL is noted that 1853
marriages were reported in this state,
an increase OF 1878 over 1908. This
number corresponds TO rate of 20.5
persons married per 1000 estimated
population.

GIFT BEARING GERM" WILL
COST $90,OO0,0oO THIS YEAR
Firty-Six Million People Have Al
ready Bought Christmas Presents,
Says Statistic Expert.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-What DR..
Wiley would probably describe as the
"gift-bearng germ" inoculated into the
people or the United States will cost
this year about $90,000,000 in cash.
perhaps $5,000,000 in debts, large
amount of happiness, and also large
amount of economy.
This is a purely unofficial estimate
"doped up" by Victor H. Omstead,
chief of the bureau of statistics OF the
department of agriculture.
In Olmstead's opinion not more than
one-half of the people of the United
States this year will make Christmas
presents that cost actual money. or
the remaining 46,000,000, few viii
not give presents because they do not
believe in the custom. More will not
give because of their religious belieIS.
Still more will not make presents be-
cause they live in out-of-way places,
remote from stores. A vast number
will not give because they have bare
ly money enough to clothe and feed
themselves and their families.
Then there are other Christmas
celebrants-farmer for the most part
who will send turkey, duck or
other farm product to relatives.
Among those who will actually buy
presents several million are children
whose expenditures will range any
where from 10 cents TO 81. few of
these children-a very few, belonging
to very rich families-will spend many
times 81. The estimated average
Christmas expenditure of the children
is so cents.
The greatest number OF Christmas
givers are clerks-young men whose
salaries run from $75 to $50 a
month. They spend according to their
salaries, and their mental state. Ohm
stead estimates that those with So
ciety-bent will spend, on average,
about So for gifts. The home-loving
clerks will average about 81.
Altogether. it is estimated that
46, 900, 900 persons have already bought
or will buy presents, and that their
gifts will average little less than
SO a person.
