MICHIGAN MANS
DOUBLE LIFE
WILL r. cONANT, A ONCE TRUSTED
OFFICIAL, ARRESTED FOR
VAGRANCY.
CAPABLE AND EFFICIENT MlcHi-
GAN MAN is AFFLICTED WITH
MENTAL ALTERATION.
Holding Seven Positions OF Trust,
Each Time Wanderlust Becomes
Supreme and Away He Goes.

Will F. Conant, member OF one
OF the best families in Michigan ana
who was, at different times, deputy
city clerk of Detroit, secretary OF the
lighting commission and cashier OF a
big financial house, is locked up as
vagrant in Cincinnati and in this lies
as weird a story of duai mentality
as that OF "Dr. Jekyll" and Mr.. Hyde.
The two personalities in the man
are as distinct as could possibly be,
and when his personality as an ac-
tive, able and efficient business man
is uppermost, he has not the slightest
recollection of his doings as the va
grant.
He tried many callings and was
making a success in each when the
"Mr. Hyde" personally in him would
be master and he would forsake his
work.
Often his wanderings have been
stopped by the police of various cities.
They would pick him up and return
him to his home city, where after
careful nursing his normal mind would
reassert itself, and he would become
once more the methodical, enterpris-
ing business man.
The change from business man to
vagrant would apparently be effected
in the twinkling of an eye, but the
reverse change was brought about only
by weeks of care
Drives Wife insane.
Naturally this peculiar turn of his
brain, for it can be nothing else, has
wrecked his success in everything he
has undertaken. AT every return from
his wanderings he has found his busi-
ness closed or his position filled by
another and he has had to begin again
at the bottom.
Naturally the strain upon his rela-
tives of these repeated disappearances
has been great, and his wife felt it
so keenly that her mind has become
unbalanced and she is now in the
asylum at Pontiac
The main difference between Co
nant and Robert Louis Stevenson's fa-
nous character of DR.. Jekyll is that
the latter was responsible for his own
condition, having brought il about by
the use of dnig, whereas with Co
nant it has been phenomenon for
which he is in no wise TO blame
Will f. Conant spent his youth in
Grand Rapids, where he learned the
trade of jeweler and matchmaker, and
in the Cos his uncle, H. r. Atwater,
started him in business in Big Rapids.
In few months he turned the wheel
Of success and was most prosperous.
He met all payments promptly and
showed every promise of becoming a
solid, substantial business man.
In the midst of his prosperity he
disappeared one day, and in spite of
the efforts of his parents and friends
to trace him, no word was heard of
him until two weeks later, when an
unkempt and haggard youth drifted
INTO Chicago and was picked up by
the police.

County Superintendent j. j. Koch
Ter is busily engaged, nowadays, in
celebrating an alienation system
which was successfully tried out last
Winter in a number of the $50 one
teacher schools in Wayne county. He
is preparing monograph on the sub
ject, but paused long enough in his
literary labors to explain the idea to
a Citizen man.
You readily see," he said, show

er, that textbook like that is too
much for a pupil in one year.
Under the old system you have
one set of pupils that have had part
of this book, and one set of pupils
that have not had part of this book.
&C Now it is very evident, that if
the entire textbook is studied by
both grades, the work of the lower
grades is very superficial. But if we
attempt only one-half of the text
book one year, and the other half
next year, more thorough work can
be done with each half of the text
book.
So, one year we spend about six
or eight weeks on the Introductory
part of Geography. Then we make
special study of the Western Hem
isphere.
The next year we make a six or
eight weeks study of the introduce
tion again, and make a special study
of the Eastern Hemisphere, and
Pennsylvania and Wayne county.

Instead of trying to complete
the whole textbook in one year, we

half next year.

with one-teacher schools.

place. Some teachers get better pos

CHAS. McARDLE
IS ARRESTED
Charged With Selling Of
OIeOmarsarine for Butter
HELD IN 500 BAIL FOR OCTO-
BER TERM OF COURT.

Charles McArdle, proprietor of the
National Hotel, was arrested last
Saturday on warrant sworn out by
Oliver d. Schock, Hamburg, an
agent of the Dairy and Food Bureau
Of the Department of Agriculture,
charged with having sold oleomar-
garine for butter.
The warrant was served the same
day by Deputy Constable P. ]. Nor
an, and the defendant taken before
Squire Robert A. Smith for hear
ing, as a result of which Mr.. Nc
Ardle was held to answer the charge
at the October term of court, M. J..
Hanlan going his bail in the sum of
500.
The alleged offence was commit
ted on July 6, 1911, according to
the information lodged by the agent
of the Dairy and Food Commission.
According to Mr.. Schock's sworn
statement, Mr.. McArdle on the sixth
day of July, 1911, unlawfully had
in his possession " with intent to
sell and did sell to Oliver d. Schock,
margarine butterine or similar sub
stance, without having hung up in
a conspicuous place, and placed on
the walls of the room in which oleo-
margarine, butterine and similar sub
stances was sold, offered for sale
and kept in his possession with in
tent to sell, sign or signs procur-
ed from the Department of Agricul-
ture through the Dairy and Food
Commissioner, setting forth that
Charles McArdle is engaged in the
sale of oleomargarine.
The said Charles McArdle, on
the day and year aforesaid, in the
county aforesaid, unlawfully by
himself, herself, themselves, his, her
agents, servants and employees, did
sell to Oliver d. Schock oleomargar-
inc, butterine and similar substances
above particularly described; the
said oleomargarine, butterine being
then and there sold as and for but
ter contrary to the Act of the Cen
eral Assembly of the Common

There is a fine of 500 imposed

conviction of any one engaged in the
sale of oleomargarine under the
name of butter.

1t was only fieeting glimpse that
the reporter caught on Main street
of a scene in a common domestic
tragedy enacted in many Maple
City home these days.
Now that the dog days are over,
which gleeful event took place, Aug.
%, and in view of the arrival, Sept.
5, of the good old school days, dear
old golden rule days, many an arm
is aching, many a heart is bleeding,
after the vaccination is over!
Although the new school code
wisely sidesteps the vaccination
question, which by the way is a
burning issue in some sections of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
the old rule still remains in force,
viz that no vaccination no matr1-
culation. In other words the Law
can compel you to send your child
to school, but it cannot compel you
to have the surgical act of vaccina-
ton performed.
1t works out this way. You may
belong to the school OF ant1-vacc1na-
tionists. You refuse to have your
child's arm SCARED and disfigured
for life. The Law says you must
send your child to school, but re-
fuses to admit him unless vaccinat-
ed. You send your young hopeful
to the school building. He is met
with the sterotyped question, Where
is your vaccination certificate?" 81

any disciples in Wayne county. And
so the mighty battles which are
fought out annually in the southern
tier of counties of the Keystone State
will not find their counterparts in the
hills and dales of dear old Wayne.
And so on Tuesday, September 5,
Little Johnny and Tiny Mary will un-
willingly trudge to school, with we'll
washed faces, and burning arms. For

BOY SCOUTS ARE
IN CAMP ON HILL
Spending Two Weeks in
Ten Tents Under
Mr.. Weaver
LEARNING TO COOK, TRAIL,
SCOUT AND FIRST AID TO
THE INJURED,

Twenty-three boy scouts are
spending two weeks in ten tents
erected on the hill back of c. F.
Bullock's residence.
Each boy is supposed to do his
share of the cooking. One of the
requirements of a scout is to be a
cook, and one of the objects of the
camp is to teach boys camp cooking.
The scouts retire at ten o'clock p.
m. and arise at o'clock. The boys
are supposed to prepare themselves
for higher grades of scout craft,
during the two weeks of camp life.
Some of the Honesdale doctors will
give instructions in first aid to the
injured and bandaging.
Architect H. F. Weaver, who has
had several years of experience in
trailing and scout craft in the for
ests of the northwest, both with In
dian guides and in government SER
vice work, will instruct the boys in
trailing and general scouting.
Each boy furnishes his own camp
cot, and supplies his own food, or
pays toward the supplies.
Nearly all the boys can swim
The boys hope to give a public de-
monstration of first aid work,

Out of the twenty-six members of
the troop, there are probably not
more than four who smoke. Smok-
ing is not prescribed, but the object
of discountenancing the use of the
weed among the scouts is to get rid
if possible of the putting of cigar
cites, among young growing boys.
1t is an established fact that grow
ing boys who smoke cigarettes in
cessantly are neither mentally nor
physically strong. The boys who
are cigarette smokers and are swim
mers haven't the same wind as the
boys of equal size and vigor have.
Most of the boys work, and that
Is the reason the camp is a night
camp, not all of the boys having
their vacations at the same1 time.
