SHINING GOLD.
A stepmother Divides a Hoard OF
Gold Among Children.

Gold Among Children.
The finding OF nearly $4,000 in shin
ing gold coins, hidden away in hole
in the cellar floor of their dead fathers
home south of Union City came as a
pleasant surprise to the children OF
ID. B. Disbro, who died only a few
weeks since. The disclosure to them
came about in this way:
They, with the members of their
own families-for they are all men
and women grown-were invited to
eat dinner at the old Disbro home
stead by their stepmother, who has
been such for nearly quarter of a
century. After a bountiful meal, the
elder Mrs. Disbro invited the guests
to accompany her to the cellar. Then,
in their presence, she raised small
stone from the floor and took from a
hole beneath glass jar in which
could be seen many gold coins. There
was $4,000 in the jar, which the step
mother divided equally among them.
Explanation followed, and it was found
that when the first Mrs. Disbro died.
20 years ago, Mr.. Disbro found in her
pocketbook several hundred dollars
in gold, with the written request to
Mr.. Disbro that he add 10 the store
as he felt able, and some day present
the whole to their children. He faith
fully followed the request, with the re-
suit that there was the neat sum of
over $4,000 when he died.
He conflded the secret to his second
wife, and after his death she faithfully
carried out his wishes and divided the
money among his children.

party would show that it has the

A Great Battle On.

George W. Morrow, superintendent
Of the Michigan Anti-Saloon league,
and Pliny Marsh, attorney for the
league, are out in the state campaign
ing in the interests of the local OPP
ton fights which are to be held on
April in Fl counties. Mr.. Morrow
is in the northern district, up around
Manistee, where he is delivering ad-
dresses and spreading literature.
Mr.. Marsh is working in other
parts of the state. Other speakers
are also at work. The dry" work
ers are confident of carrying each
county.
On the other hand, the "wets" also
predict success for themselves, de-
clariag that they will not only pre-
vent the wet counties from going
dry" but will win in the counties
where local option is up for repeal.

"How Sharper Than serpent's Tooth.

An irritable old farmer and his I'M

the old man suddenly stumbled over

Amid scenes of widest disorder, for
the like of which one must go back
to the exciting days just prior to the
civil war-perhaps even those times
might not duplicate it the veteran
speaker, almost "A years old, stood
erect and defiant, his head "bloc1ied
but unbowed."
And at the end, when a big Texan
democrat accepted the speakers dar-
ing challenge and introduced a reso-
luton to fling him out of the speak
ership, the republicans, regulars and
insurgents, with few exceptions, raj
lied with almost unbroken party front
and gave him a vote which almost
Offset the Reputation of Cannonism"
Speaker Cannon went down to de-
feat but when his enemies believed
him to be in utter rout, he turned and
forced from them what practically
amounts to a vote of confidence.
1t was the last play of veteran
fighter and of a parliamentarian
whose hand has been trained by years
of practical experience.
The speaker was forced from the
rules committee by a vote of 191 to
155, 40 Republican insurgents siding
with the solid Democratic vote.
The trick that the speaker turned
on his enemies was in the form of a
resolution presented by Rep. Burle-
son, of Texas, Democrat, declaring
the speakers chair vacant, and order
ing an election of Mr.. Cannon's sue
cessor.
The speaker already had announc-
ed from the chair. amid an impress
sive silence, that he would entertain
such a motion. It was promptly vot-
ed down by 191 to 155 amid a scene
that is probably without a parallel in
the history of the house of represen-
tatives.
Only nine insurgents sided with the
Democrats in voting to depose Uncle
Joe from the post that he has held
for seven years. AS a matter of fact,
the proposition to GUST him from the
speakership was rejected by a major
majority that the speaker had when
he was first elected to the office.
The speaker declined after the ad-
journment to comment upon the ex-
traordinary events of the day He
was in his Office surrounded by three
or four loyal friends when a news
paper man approached him and ask
ed what he had TO say about his
victory"
"Oh, nothing at all, / guess.
There is not any comment for me
to make. Besides, you will have
your papers full in the morning
anyway and you don't need any
comment from me-"
But hasn't the newly-elected
speaker any announcement to
make of his future policy?" He
laughingly answered:
'I1l just keep on, speaking and
praying" he said.

that the new tariff law is a Godsend

He denounced the joker in the

manufactured products cheaper to
foreigners than to Americans. In

that he should surrender his port
