factured in Kalamazoo When going up
the sharp incline on Michigan avenue
the wheels skidded. and the driver lost
control OF his machine. 1t crashed into
telephone pole with terrific force, and
Mr.. Sharker was instantly killed.
The Gazette which was the instigator
of the Run" and under whose manage
ment the affair was held, called of the
race Immediately after1tue accident, but
there were at least fifteen cars that had
already started, and they did not know
of the. terrible accident until reaching
their destination.
The victim of the accident was mana
ger of the Gable Nelson Piano Company S
store at Kalamazoo, and one of the
judges of the race 1t was indeed an un-
fortunate affair.

see the cars pass through, but did not
know of the accident until late Ia the
forenoon.

MADE GOOD TIME
ON CANOE TRIP
Fred Sowle and Companion from Kali
amazoo Made Canoe Trip from
Kalamazoo TO South Haven.

Fred Sowle, in company with Frank
Nanny of the Western State Normal at
Kalamazoo, made sensational canoe
trip last week. They started from Kal
amazoo ia IL foot canoe, went down
the Kalamazoo river to Saugatuck, and
from that point down the lake TO South
Haven, making the trip in three days.
This sensational time is about two days
quicker than the trip was ever made
before.
The voyage on the lake was an ex-
tremey hazardous one. The boys were
out from one to two miles from shore,
and the waves were quite high at times.
The trip was made, however, without
mishap, and the boys are well pleased
with the journey.
Fred arrived in Paw Paw last Satur-
day morning. He was badly scorched
by the wind and sun, but otherwise felt
no bad effects from the strenuous three
days trip

SULTRY WEATHER
HASTENS FRUIT
Strawberries About Gone. Cherries in
the Market. Rose Bugs Getting in
Their Work in the Vineyards.

The hot dry weather is Fastening the
fruit crop. Strawberries are about gone.
A few cases are still brought IN every
day, but this week will see their finish.
The strawberry crop has been fair and
the berries of an exceptionally good
quality.
Early cherries are just beginning to
come into market, and the Early Rich
mond will probably be on the market
the last of next week. The cherry crop
will be rather light as the freeze seemed
to affect this class of fruit more than
some others. Peaches will also be
light crop. The grape crop is still an
uncertain quantity. They were badly
hurt by the early frosts, but fair crop
is expected unless the rose bugs get
what were left. A handful of bunches
from the Mcneil vineyard we're brought
to The True Northerner Office this week
which show the ravages Of this destruc-
tive bug. Every grape was stripped from
the stem and it is reported that the en-
tire crop of the vineyard is liable to be
destroyed. Just what proportion of the
fruit belt is troubled with these bugs
The True Northerner is not prepared to
state, but the loss of the fruit from their
work will be felt more this year than at
other times when the crop is heavy.

he would catch Wint when he came
home for dinner But Wint was wise
and skulked down the back streets and

back door of a reighbor, who took pity
on the fugitive and fed him. Wint then

HARTFORD TEAM
Puts it Over Visiting Slug
gers by Score of IL to 6.
Hit Like Demons.
HARTFORD MADE GOOD START
Four Hits and Three Runs in First. Paw
Paw Got to Hartford Twirler and
Pounded Out Victory.

The Paw Paw base ball team added
another game to its long string of VIC
tories last Friday when it trimmed the
fast Hartford aggregation to the tune of
IL to 6.
The Paw Paw fans anticipated a fast
scrappy game, as Hartford played the To-
Gals to 2 to | score in twelve inning
game earlier 10 the season. 1t was a
walk away however and the visitors
were simply played off their feet.
The game opened auspiciously for
Hartford, and the visiting fans could see
victory for their team, when three
Hartford runners crossed the plate in
the first inning The locals soon settled
down however, and got to Beattie the
Covert twirler early in the game. After
he~was derrcked, Benntt one Of the old
school ball players of Hartford went on
the mound, but he Jared little better,
and the Paw Paw man who did not fat
ten his batting average, was indeed un-
fortunate.
The third game OF the series will be
played at Hartford on the Fourth of
July.
The next game on the local grounds
will be this afternoon, when Bangor will
try to take the measure of the Paw Paw
sluggers.

importance Of Details.

Spare no pains in collecting details
before you generalize; it Is only when
details are generalized that truth is
grasped. The tendency to generalize
is universal with all men who achieve
great success. whether in art, liter
ature, or action. The habit Of gener.
alizing, though at first gained with
care and caution. secures by practice
a comprehensiveness of judgment, and
a promptitude of decision which seem
to crowd like the intuitions OF
genius. And, indeed. nothing more
distinguishes the man Of genius from
the mere man Of talent than the facul'
ty of generalizing the various details.
each of which demands the aptitude
of a special talent, but all Of which
can only be gathered into single
whole by the grasp of mind which
may have no special aptitude for any.
