nervous indigestion and bad hours.
She spent the entire day going
through the storeroom and linen
closets. and running her fingers over
things for dust. Whenever she found
any she looked at me. drew long
breath, and said. Poor James!" 1t
was maddening. And when she went
through his clothes and found some
buttons on (Jim didn't keep a man,
and Takahiro had stopped at his
boots) she looked at me quite awfully.

From every section OF the Thir-
teenLh Judicial Circuit is coming the
heartiest kind Of endorsement TO
ATTY e. n. Clipk's candidacy for the
Republican nomination for Circuit
Judge Of this circuit. One of the
strongest factors in Mr.. Clink's can

u town or hamlet in the four copnLies
OF Charlevoix, Antrim, Grand Tray
ese and Leelanau in which that
gentleman Is not known and has
many warm personal friends, who,
realizing bIs ability as an attorney
and an interpreter Of law. are willing
aud glad to do all in their power tu
further his aspirations.
Mr.. Clink's ability as lawyer is
known throughout Northern Michl-
gan, and he stands high in the estl-
mate Of his fellow attorneys. His
thorough knowledge OF law, which is
a prime requisite IN the position
which he aspires TO, eminently quail;
ties him To the position.

DANCING PARTY FRIDAY.

The second of a series of dancing
parties under the auspices of the ST.

Laurium bank hall on Friday evening.
4 fine program of Scotch and Ameri-
can dance numbers will be rendered by
the Laurium Orchestra and It is eX-
pected that the evening will prove a
very enjoyable one. a large number of
season tickets were disposed of before
the last dancing party and it is prac-
tically certain that the attendance will
be large. Previous entertainments un-
der the auspices of the St Andrews
society, have been so successful that
there is little doubt Of the success of
this party and others to be given at
later dates.
