FOR PROBATE JUDGE.

I have already announced that

I have disposed Of 2,O55 probate

Should not these qualifications and
my long clean record in office rec
ommend me for a denomination and
re-elec ton? If so, shall be glad to
have you give me your vote at the
coming primary, which falls upon my
sixtieth birthday.
There are many cases to be heard
between now and the primary, and

to have my friends consider this as
a personal appeal.

A MODEST KNOCK.

II has been reported throughout
the county by certain county Of
fetal and by certain aspirants to a
county office that if I should be NOM
mated and elected sheriff of Gratiot
county that it was not my intentions
to be the sheriff in person but to ap-
point certain man, whom they
claim to be a personal friend of mine,
to act in that capacity for me at the
county seat.
| wish to state to the voters Of
Gratiot county that this rumor is en-
tirely false and without any founda-
ton except from the lips of those
who are circulating it. If I did not
intend to be the sheriff in person,
s,.ould / be so fortunate as to be
nominated and elected to that office,
i should not allow myself to become
a candidate for it. I wish to state
emphatically that if I am so fortunate
as to be nominated and elected sher-
if of Gratiot county, my family and
myself will reside at the county seat
in the home provided by the county
for the sheriff and that I will give
my entire time and attention in caring
for and performing the duties of that
office.
Again soliciting the support of the
Republican electors, am,

At the BeIasco Theater Tomorrow even

best comic opera, "Pinafore," will be made
by the New York Casino all-star cast,
where they are TO remain throughout the
week. with an extra matinee on Thurs
day, Washington's birthday. in addition
to the regular Wednesday and Saturdays
matinees.
The history of "Pinafore'' is familiar
to nearly every one, as It is now more
than thirty years since the first American
cruise Of this good old ship began at the
Boston Museum in 1878 The number Of
so-called professional companies which
has given this comic opera classic, good,
bad and indifferent productions are count
less, and as for amateur attempts, they
are legion. No other musical play has
ever been reviewed to the same extent
as has "Pinafore," and its humor. satire,
and music which is combined SO skillfully
by the masters that wrote IL, that this
nautical gem has long since occupied a
niche among more pretentIous musical
classics.
The revival Of this brilliant satire which
was made at the Casino Theater last year
in New York during the early summer,
easily proves what two masters of their

base of the story Of "Pinafore" That

its revival in New York. but which has

ART OF MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH, .
AS DE WOLF HOPPER KNOWS 1T

How many people appreciate the seri-
business OF being funny? L believe the
average theatergoer seldom gives a
thought to the EFFORT involved in the
process OF laugh-making. and yet the
comedian, to be truly successful, must
not only be well endowed with mirth-
provoking qualities, but must bring to
bear upon his work the keen mental
faculties of imagination and invention.
The first essential feature is the pos
session of q pleasing personality, and.
allied to this, that greatest blessing or
human kinda sense of humor; then,
most important Of all, a healthy body.
active and ever alert, and intent upon
the perfection and mastery OF his art
There is nothing quite so hopeful. so
far-reaching, so lasting in beneficial ef-
feet. as a good, hearty, honest laugh,
and yet, among the many fine and sub
tile human emotions that of laughing is
the most difficult to excite. When one
considers the temper Of an audience
made up, as Il is, OF Representatives from
all classes and conditions OF life, sub
ject to countless physical ills. varying
moods. and the depressing worry and
fatigue attendant upon almost every vo-
cation in the life Of to-day, the task be-
fore the comedian assumes greater pro-
portions than one Is accustomed to at

the various styles Of the masters Of

to the most important, the safest and
surest rule for success, which is. In my
belief, to make people laugh with rather
