MAD DOC SHOT

Considerable excitement was oc-
casioned during the noon hour ON
Tuesday by mad dog who made his
appearance at the home of Rev M.
B. Milne, on Wisconsin street back
Of the A L. Arpin residence. Rev.
Milne was in the act OF going out
of the house and as he opened the
screen door the dog tried to enter.
He gave the dog a kick and in re-
turn the dog grabbed his foot but
his bite did not penetrate the shoe.
AS soon as the dog released his foot
he started on a dead run for the home
of l. E. Dunayen where he jumped
upon the porch and tried to enter
that house but he was fought off by
Mrs. Dunevan who broke a rocking
chair fighting him. From there he
ran through the back yard over to
D. E. Carey's residence and from
there up Eighth street where he had
fight with Ragan's dog and from
there he tried to enter the residence
of Joseph ReiIand and succeeded in
getting into the kitchen. After Ieav-
ing the Milne residence Mr. Milne sc,
cured his rifle and followed the dog
and shot him in the kitchen where
he had secluded himself. The dog
was frothing at the mouth and had
a wild appearance. At this writing
nobody knows who owned the dog
or where he came from. He is a
small size yellow and white cur dog
that probably has been neglected

ington must do the best they can to
embody the party spirit in legisla-
ton. They cannot place on the stat
ute books every piece OF bunconbe
which our political jack of all trades
may get by a convention while the
galleries are bowling for their fav-
orites.
The professional politician is by
nature and trade given to indirec-
ton. And he overdoes diplomacy.
It is in vain that his complicated
structure looks a marvel Of political
architecture to him.
Its very complication condemns il
to the voter. Did you ever notice
in any kind of a public meeting, how
the complicated structure always
fails to win general approval The
average voter, unused to diplomacy
and strategy is baffled and bewild-
cred by contradictory phrases and
balanced considerations. Nothing but
a straight. frank, sincere, clean cut
issue between Yes and No ever wins
his confidence.
Platform builders, in all parties
and all ages, used to deviousness
in their own strategy, do not under
| stand the love for directness and sin
cerity that is characteristic of the
non-political citizen.

BEING A DELEGATE

The privilege of representing your
party at a national convention is
earnestly sought after, for various
motives.
Of course little and big bosses al
ways like to go to any kind of a
convention, small or great. 1t is an
exchange for trade information. just
as newspaper publishers get togeth-
er to talk about editing the coun-
try correspondence or running lima
type machines. The politicians get
tips from each other on how to swing
.caucuses and how to placate office
seekers.
Then, too, it is a part of their
plans for advertising. The politf-
clan who has won out ON his rural
delivery route or his city ward be-
gins to think of something higher thai
being an alderman or member of the

POLITICAL
PLATFORMS

One of the traditional arts Of the
politician is the construction of the
convention platform This is no
rough hewn job for an amateur build

can so fit and mortise the blanks
that they will not merely hold togeth

construction without showing too OBJ

MENCEMENT

The Rev. T. Walker Malcolm, of
Detroit, Michigan, who was the guest
of the Northwest Collegiate Institute
and welcome visitor in our village
during the past week, was the com
nencement speaker for this insittu-
ton of learning. He delivered a
magnificent address Wednesday ev.
ening before a most appreciatiye
audience. Mr.. Malcolm has been a
close friend of the institution from
its inception, but after this visit ex-
pressed himself more enthusiastic
than ever, both as to the merits of
the work being done and the large
place for such an institution, in this
vast region
This school with the regular class
zeal, Scientific and English courses
offers one in the English Bible and
has a daily recitation by every stu
dent, which means much to the stu
dent, both from a literary and moral
view point. The exercises rendered
by the school in this department. Mon
day evening, was one of the most
interesting programs ever presented
before a Sherry audience It WIS
q general review of the years work
and reflected credit both on teacher
and student.
All the lady teachers return again
in September and the teaching force
is to be increased by the addition Of
a new teacher. All the students of
the year just closed plan to return
and many applications from others al
ready have been received which
means additional room must be pro-
vided before September for those
to be received into the school fami-
ly, as every room was occupied last
year.
This school does not confine itself
to American boys and girls as Korea
Persia, Italy and Mexico was repre-
scented in the student body by excel
lent young people.
A large farm is the basis of the
self-help department which is a very
important feature of the institution.
as students of limited means have
an opportunity to meet a portion of
their expenses in work. 1t welcomes
all worthy young people anxious for
an education.

It is then up to them to escape by
the underground passage or disguised

Getting mad because your guests
stuff your umbrella with rice, or
pelt you with confetti on your own

over the ransom and tying ribbons
to the door knob are another thing.
There are circles in which it is
considered also very humorous act,

Many brides and grooms have start

grains of rice lodged in the eyebaHs

people have a queer idea of suita
