Among the most popular book,
in the library at present are three
slender little volumes by Arnold
Bennett. The people who want
something to while away the time
they must spend on the car like
these books for three reasons;
First, they are small enough to be
slipped into the pocket; second,
they are short enough to be read
through in an hour or so; third
they are so brightly and so wittily
written as to hold the attention
against distractions. Moreover
they are full of thoughts that are
worth remembering. The first of
these books is one especially for
for those people who haven t
time" II is called: "How to Live
on % Hours a Day"
For years the magazines and pa
pers have been telling us how we
may live on so many dollars per
day. Here is something that con-
Germs us more deeply. People have
been known TO increase their fnan-
cial income, but whoever succeeded,
honest men or CRATER, in getting
hold of more than ~ hours a dayl
So the only alternative for those of
us who have not been able to make
out a living on that allowance
(and we are not few has been to
dispense with living and put up
with a mere meagre existence. For
who would call il living when we
never have time to do the things we
most want to dor But there is
help in sight. Here comes Arnold
Bennett with news of how we may
not exist only, but really live on
the hours which the gods allow us.

The other books which are sug-
gestive in their way as the first,

of horses having lived for more
than fifty years.
\ horses age is commonly de
tcrmined by an examination Of the
individual teeth. This is usually
an accurate method until the tenth
or twelfth-year After this period
the general appearance Of the teeth
and the bones Of the head are re-
lied upon III determining age
Vt birth the foal commonly has
no teeth iii the front of the mouth
and only four grinders in each
jaw. After a few days the middle
fore teeth appear and after a
month another grinder breaks
through on each side Of each jaw.
After four months the intermed-
late fore teeth appear, and at the
age Of from six to eight months
the side fore teeth or corners ap-
pear and another grinder on each
Jaw. The set Of milk teeth is then
complete.
\t the age Of from thirteen to
sixteen months the cavities IN the
face Of the middle fore teeth are
cffaced or razed; and the same
process takes place in the corner
teeth by the end Of the second
year. The shedding Of the teeth
and the beginning Of the second
set or permanent teeth occur al
from two and one-half to three
years of age.
The first or milk teeth may al
ways be recognized by their short
ness, whiteness and by constrlc
ton or neck. The middle from
teeth are shed first, the informed
late ones follow at the age Of thre'
and one-half to four years, and tn
corner teeth are shed at from fou

VOTE FOR MussELMAN.

That Amos Musselman is the best
OF the three candidates in the held
for governor will be readily -ecog-
liked by anyone who is not prejudiced
after a study of the qualifications Of
the men. Prot. Ferris, the Demo
cratic nominee, has had little practi-
cal experience and is looked upon as
"a theorist: Whitney Watkins, the Pro-
gressiye candidate was a tonnage tax
advocate in the legislature and is an
unsafe man for the upper peninsula;
Mr. Musselman is a successful bust
ness man. skilled by years Of expert
ence and natural ability in business
methods. which fits him to take
charge Of the business affairs of the
state. lie is a man Of high ideals and
sound judgment, and under his direc-
ton, as general manager, the state
would make notable progress. You
will make no mistake by voting for
Amos Musselman next Tuesday.

COUNTY TICKET, TOO.

Discussion of the presidential cam
paign and the issues involved has
been pronounced in the copper country,
inorc so than in many other sections
Of the country. Now II is time that
Republicans were awaking to the fact
that a county ticket is to be elected
next Tuesday as well. The presidency
has been argued pro anc con so much
that seemingly il has overshadowed
the local political situation. Every
voter. however. should interest him
self in every part Of the ballot he is
TO vote. The Republicans should
strongly support the county ticket and
we believe they viii consider this
their duty We believe, too. that the

long been affiliated with the Republi
can party. also win vote for the Re-
publican county nominees At least
many of them openly admit that they
will.

THE CUBAN ELECTIONS.

The Cuban government is takinF
every precadtion to prevent trouble
at the presidential elections to be held
Friday The situation is serious. how
ever and even the most conservative
public officials arc fearful of disturb
ance. particularly in the districts where
the feeling against President Gomez
runs high.
In connection with the election, two
very serious questions occupy the pub.
lt mind Can cuba survive the pres
ent state Of her finance? Can she hold
an honest and orderly election for the
presidency with loyal submission Of
the defeated party to the will of the
majority?
That the treasury is empty that the

loan has been spent, while the work

IS at its wits end 10 find money TO
meet its vast expenditures, while the
receipts from the custom house and
the lottery have reached their lowest
point-all this is asserted by enemies
Of the government, and most CT it
frankly admitted by all Everywhere
II is asked, how long can this state of
affairs continue?
The government defaulted in August,
FOR the first time. on the account due
to the sewering and paving contractors
fer work done in July amounting to
bout 100000. The government de-
alared that it found itself unable to
meet the bill simply because it had no
more money. The contractors APP
pcaled TO the American legation, and
sufficient pressure was brought to bear
10 convince the government that pay
n.ent was imperative. The money was
forthcoming the following day.
The press continues to be filed with
pessimistic articles bewailing the finan-
cial and political pcrils that beset the
republic. Careful estimates show that
the Gomez administration has spent
at least Slio,GOo,OOo during the two and
half years Of power Experts de-
clare that the only hope for Cuba lies

less to say--as his name would indi-

family. His scientific name Is leoseps

not unlike an elongated lizard. He

they having become paralyzed from

laying in wait, with his sticky tongue
extended. for something to come

He lives by waiting and hauling in.
