The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1912-03-02

Bert Burnside regarded the little pile
him. There were two Mexican dollars,
an American coin Of the same dcnom-
ination and double the value, two Mex
lean halves and some copper coins. His
board was paid until the end of the
week ut the obscure hotel to which he
had removed when his funds gave out.
After the week was ended there was
tramp Of more than 1000 miles home.
and this must be his capital.
Bert had come down to old Mexico to
look up some mines in which his IA
Their was interested. 1t was his first
important commission, and he had been
proud indeed when he had perceived
the clever manner In which the mines
had been sailed. He had reported the
fact back home; then, still having plen-
ty Of funds, he had remained on In the
quaint old country until he had met
the little knot of good fellows at the
Hotel Rio Grande.
That they f1eeced him Of every cent
he possessed in revenge for his discov-
cry Of the sailing Of the mines was
something that Bert did not know. He
only knew that he had been so foolish
as to play cards with acquaintances Of
week and that 1t had served him right
to be stripped of all his possessions.
He knew better than to write asking
his father for assistance.
He did write Jessie Picard, the
daughter of his fathers partner, and
confessed freely his foolishness. To
his father he wrote only that he would
not be home as soon as he anticipated.
In the long run the incident might
be to his advantage. Both his father
and Henry Picard were Of the opinion
that the young people should wait at
least Eve years before being married.
II Bert should prove his ability to
take care of himself 1t might shorten
the period Of probation.
With shrug Of his shoulders he
dropped the coins back into his peck
ct and descended to the hotel lobby.
A new bill on the dingy wall attract
ed his attention. Several men were
gathered about 1t, discussing. the an
nouncement In animated tones. There
had been bullfight the previous Sun
day at which q new matadore had
gained especial favor. and the bill an
nounced his retention for a second
Sunday.
Beneath the announcement that four
black bulls from Tayagua would be
fought to the death and that Corcita
Chico would receive the charge of the
bull kneeling came the lines:
"a fifth bull for the volunteers, with
$50 on his horns, will be turned into
the ring. The manager refuses to be
responsible for any injuries to anna
tours"
Rather dangerous" he suggested to
one Of the bystanders. The Mexican
shrugged his shoulders. ~

But though the amateurs stretched
forth their hands to grasp the berib
boned purses which hung on either
horn Of the bull, each containing n
five dollar gold piece, they were not
nimble enough to reach the prize.
Bert had been famous athlete In
his college days, and those days were
not so far distant that his skill had
left him. With red cloth he attract.

the bewlldered animal rushed at him

ma, he held on with one hand while
with the other he removed the four
purses.
The other amateurs closed in upon
him, declaring 1t to be unfair for one
man to take all the prizes, but tbe
audience was with the plucky Amer
lean, and the manager, wisely siding
with his public, gained additional IA
vor by announcing that two more
purses would be put up with the Amer
lean barred from the contest.
He escorted Bert from the ring.
while the other amateurs waited for
the bull to be sent back. The attend
ants had already coaxed him into the
ring and there would not be long to
wait.
Bert, hurrying through the corridor
at the rear Of the pen, did not notice a
group OF people at the entrance until
hand fell upon his shoulder, and he
looked up into his fathers eyes.

SIMPLE EXPERIMENT..
Weighing q Letter With the Aid OF .
Broomstick. 3

Weighing q Letter With the Aid Of q
BroomsticE.
Did you ever know you could weigh
letter with broomstick? Letters
are Of such light weight that dell
cate balance is needed. So this will
be Just the thing. The handle Of an
old broom about foot long should be
put into long Jar or deep vase filed
with water. A weight Of some kind
should be attached to the lower end.
SO that about three-fourths Of the
broom handle Is under the water. A
piece Of cardboard, glued to the top.
will serve as platform for the balance.
The last thing to do is to graduate
the weight-that Is, to mark on scale
on the end above the water. That can
be done by borrowing half ounce and
a one ounce weight and placing them
on the balance. one at time. II the
broomstick goes just below the ounce
mark then double postags is neces-
sary, and II the gauge is fairly accu-
rate the letter weigher will serve for
ordinary purposes.

"Astonished mt hic doctrine" The
style and spirit OF his address capti-

power which was a part of the
preachers personality. There was

Verses IA, 15.-The message.
Jesus began his ministry in Judea,
but this was an inhospitable country,
and so he went to Galilee, where he
had better field for work. Compare
John w, 45. Details of his mission In
Judea are given in Johns gospel, chap

ject of the glad tidings. The time

redemption had been unfolding grad

reached perfection. and the opportune
hour has struck. Repent ye." This
was also the message Of the Baptist,
but Jesus made an invaluable addition
to it, "And believe the gospel" John
urged the people to renounce their past
life of sin, but Jesus went further and
showed them how to live the new life
of righteousness.
Verses 16-20.-The men.
Some of the Baptist's disciples had
accepted their Masters testimony to
Jesus and had confessed allegiance to
Jesus John !, 20-42). They had been
associated with him in Judea and re-
turned to Galilee when he did so.
"The sea OF Galilee." The northwest
shore of this lake was to become the
scene of the Masters ministry. In the
towns of Magdala, Capernaum, Chora-
Yin and Bethsaida "most of his mighty
works were done" Matt. ii, 20). "Si-
mon and Andrew" These two broth
ers had gone back to their business as
fishermen, but they were soon to leave
this calling ito become fishers Of men,"
This figurative style Of speech was
characteristic of Jesus, who illustrated
the hidden truths Of his teaching by
the familiar and common things of
daily life. "Come We after me-" This
was a direct invitation to discipleship,

suggestion For those VINO Arc SEEK
ing Something Out Of the Ordinary.
Instead Of games those in charge Of
a recent church entertainment devoted
the evening to series of living pic
lures entitled "The Rells." This Is the
way the idea was carried out:
A large frame was made for the pur-
pose. and lights were thrown from the
side of the platform with the use Of
colors BETTING the subject. The first
number on the program was the read
ing Of ten minute paper on the sub
ject of bells. Information for this was
obtained at the library. Then, for the
pictures, the first one was Those
Evening Bellies Two or three girls
in up to date evening gowns made up
this picture, and the old time piece.
Those Evening Bells" was played on
the plano. The next number was The
Morning Bellies" picturing the same
girls In charming negligee costumes.
"The Modern Belle" showed a picture
Of girl In an outing costume with
golf bag or rugged for the auto ride
or airship trip. "An Old Time Belle"
represented dear old grandmother in
kerchief and cap, knitting slipper or
stocking. Here the melody was Long.

Bells Of Scotland the curtains were
lifted to reveal "A Scotch Belle" in
highland costume. A sweet faced nun
represented 'The Convent Belle" and
this picture was accompanied by the
sweet strains Of the monastery Bells"

Paris elected the huge, nat, simply
trimmed hat Of black velvet as the
favorite Of the season.
TUNES are longer at the back than
the front. and elaborate embroidery
and fringe are used to decorate them.
Charmeuse continues to be the fash

he was not fighter. Twice on other

BEST CARE OF WET FURs.
They Should Be Kept Away From the
Heat-Dryinq Them.

A wet fur piece should be well shalS
en-, then hung in cool roonf, prefer
ably where free draft Of air can en-
ter between the fibers. 1t should be
shaken from time to time to prevent
the hairs from sticking, but no heat
should be allowed near It.
When dry to the touch the fur
should be whipped lightly with a zinc
wand and shaken again.
Hanging wet furs in front Of fire
to dry is ruinous practice. Heat de-
prives fur of its natural oil, and il
once lost it is impossible to restore the
article to its original condition.

A hatpin kept in the kitchen will be
found to be just the thing to hold layer
cakes together. When the last layer
is to be put on and the top is still to be
iced stick the hatpin through the center
