Ferris was soon voted capital fellow
by everybody.
So things rolled along until 1904
Ferris kept getting better known and
better liked throughout the state. He
went frequently on the lecture plat
form. People of all parties pointed
him out as a man of whom Michigan
should feel proud, and in 1904 the
Democrats urged him to run for gov
ernor.
These we're the days of Roosevelt's
greatest popularity. Few dreamed that
a Democrat could make any Roadway
against the tremendous tide of Roose-
welt sentiment. Ferris made the run.
He got 100000 more votes for COVER
nor than Parker got for President
but was defeated
The year 1912 found Roosevelt still
popular in Michigan. but again Ferris
was urged to run, and did. The Roose-
welt sentiment was not strong enough
this time to carry through the pro
gressive slate and Ferris, more popu-

The few pupils which came to him
in the beginning went out into the
world equipped not alone to succeed
in business, but to discharge the du-
ties of citizenship. He took the raw
material of boys and girls and made
of it splendid men and women.
About this time, too, Ferris got up
lecture on How to Make the World
Better" 1t was wonderful piece of
work-that lecture; and he used to
slip out whenever he had little time
to spare and deliver that lecture to
the farmers and villagers who lived
within a radius of fifty miles of Big
Rapids.
The success of the first students, to-
gether with the lecture, caused the
fame of the schoolmaster to spread
and soon he had school Of several
hundred pupils. He kept pounding 1t
in to these students that they must
make their lives successful not only
in a material way, but that they must
also feel responsibility to society
This teaching was very acceptable to
the peop,s of Michigan, who are a

CHRISTMAS TREASURES.

. count my treasures DER with care
A little toy that baby knew,
! A little sock of faded hue,
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas time
My little one-my all to me
Sat robed in white upon my knee
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
fs.Tell me- my little golden head,
(. If Santa Claus should come tonight,
What shall he bring my baby bright,
What treasure for my boy?" said.
And then he named the little toy,
While in his round and truthful eyes
There came look of glad surprise
That spoke his trustful, childish joy.
And as he lisped his evening prayer
He asked the boon with baby grace,
And, toddling to the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night as lengthening shadows
crept
/ saw the white-winged angels come
With music to our humble home
And kiss my darling as he slept.
He must have heard that baby prayer,
For in the morn, with glowing face,
He toddled to the chimney place
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Christmastide,
That angel host so fair and white,
And. singing all the Christmas night,
They 1ired my darling from my side =
A little sock, little toy,
A little lock of golden hair,
The Christmas music on the air,
A-watching for my baby boy.
And if again that angel train
And golden head come back for me
To bear me to eternity
NV watching will not be in vain.

HUNDREDS OF HOGS
YIELD UP LIVES
SPLENDID WEATHER MAKES,
PACKING OF FESTIVE PORK
ERS VERY LIVELY.

Another period of splendid hog
killing" weather was ushered in this
morning and as result many are the
festive porkers who will yield up the
ghost before the setting of "the slow
declining sun" this afternoon. All
over the county killers were busy at
daylight this morning making prspa-
rations to get pork ready for the
smoke house and the market 1t is
estimated that thousands of hogs win
be killed today and tomorrow In the
county. As a general rule the fogs
are in fine condition. The long spell
of clear dry weather has been very
favorable for putting on flesh. The
prices at which many farmers have
sold their surplus hoge have also
been very gratifying. Many lave
sold for delivery this and next month
at seven and half cents and while
this is now slightly above the market
it il believed that the dealers win
make money for it is thought that
the rise will continue until the ad-
vance price is justified.
