OUR LIBEL SUIT.

The civil suit brought by Theo-
Moore Roosevelt against George A
Newett, editor of Iron Ore, and
which was on the February calendar
of the Marquette county sircuit court.
its first appearance there was ad-
journed upon motion of w. P. Bel
den. Mr.. Newett's attorney, until the
MAY term. The criminal suit was
dismissed, so the editor will not face
a penitentiary sentece.
The latter part of May will present
better climatic conditions than
February and it will be a much better
season in which to conduct an affair
of such prominence. The surface of
the country will not then be hidden
from view, all nature will smile and
be exceedingly glad. The buds will
be bursting into bloom, the birds
reyeling in song, and everything at
tuned to harmonic sarains.
Glover will be at best and thus
clad and bejewel it will offer special
attractions to the visitor looking for
bargains in soil, timber, or mineral,
or for damages for alleged destruc-

Safe and Sure Pie Crusts.

In making pies it often happens
that an otherwise good pie is spoiled
by an inferior crust. This may be
avoided by using the following in
gradients as directed:
Two cupfuls of sifted pastry -four.
One-half tablespoonful of baking
powder.
One-half teaspoonful of salt.
Two-thirds cupful of sweet lard
and butter tequal parts).
Six tablespoonfuls of cold water.
Combine all dry ingredients, then
with a knife and fork rub shortening
into flour. To do this we'll, take up
some of the shortening and -four with
the knife and press through the tines
of fork. Continue until all is well
mixed and crumbles. Some prefer to
rub shortening in with the finger tips.
| myself perfer the latter method.
Now you are ready to mix in the
water. To inexperienced this amount
seems extremely little, but the secret
of crisp pie crust is in using as little
water as possible. Sprinkle the water
evenly over flour, then with a fork
stir it in so as TO reach all the flour.
If ii still erumbles take mass up in
both hands and press together; it
should be like a ball of putty and
require little flour when rolling out.
When ready TO roll the lower crust
take a small portion into a round
sheet about one-eighth of an inch
thick. Now lay this in the pie tin,
press against the sides and do not
stretch, as it will shrink some, then
trim rim off with a knife. after the
desired filing is in proceed the same
for top crust, but before laying it on
cut some gashes in crust so steam
can escape. Before putting on the
crust wet lower edge, press top on
rather slack, then trim and with the
tines of a fork crimp the rim.

SOME ECCENTRIC FUNERALS

An enormous crowd gathered at
Chester. England a few months ago

engineer, who was carried 10 the Gem
etery in a coffin that had been laborE
ously constructed by himself out OF
1000 match boxes. These, with their
tops visible and advertising their re-
spective makers. were vanished over
and strengthened inside with wood.
On the coffin was placed an electric
battery.
Some years ago a maiden lady died
at Calemis-sur-Lys in France, who
was reported to have been . champion
snuff taker. She enjoyed s~ingularly
good health, retained all her mental
faculties, and died at a ripe old age.
Her funeral was most extraordinary,
Her wish was that her coffin should
be filled with tobacco. the floor OF the
motuary chamber carpeted with II, n

scatter tobacco before the hearse on
the way to the cemetery.
A lady who left Liverpool some

died recently, directed in his will that
his remains should be cremated and

CREDIT GIVEN TO THE WIFE
Good and Sufficient Reasons Why Mar
ried Man Lives Longer Than
the Bachelor.

1t Is a good thing for a mar to have
o wife to look after his ingoings and
outcomings-to enforce regularity In
his mode OF l%iving-to see that he is
clothed according to the requirements
OF the temperature, and takes his UNI
brella when there Is likelihood Of
showers, and gets good meals at stated
hours.
jacques Bertillon, the French expert
on oc%cupational mortality, has found
that low death rates occur particularly
In occupations in which the workman
is under more or less supervision as
regards not only health but also habits
Of life, and in which he Is surrounded
by Influences tending to prevent dis
sipation, and conducive to regular
hours and regular habits. Bank clerks
and iduciary employees who feel their
responsibilities are types Of this. Ber-
tillon attributes much the same influ-
ence to marriage and family life. The
married man Is supervised for his own
good, and, having added incentives to
self restraint and to the care of his
health, he has a lower mortality than

can Medical Association.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which lie
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays.
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No n
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t 80 naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking n small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. ADV,

AUTO PULLS A LOCOMOTIVE

Probably no more remarkable feat
has been recently performed by an
automobile than when the local agent
of a well known car in Los Angeles,
Cal, gave a demonstration of the pull
ing strength of his machine by attach
ing 1t, by means of a rope running
from the rear axle of the car to the
pilot of a lou: locomotive, and
drawing the locomotive along the
track. The start was made from a
dead standstill and it was first thought
impossible to move the great mass OF
iron and steel as the wheels Of the
auto slipped badly and the locomotive
seemed to be glued to the track.
After weighing down the car with six
good-sized men, however, the tires
took a firmer hold and after a long,
steady strain the wheels OF the loco
motive began slowly to revolve.
The accomplishment of the task is
testified to by a number of witnesses
who at first declared 1t impossible
and looked for the breaking of the
rear axle or the pulling out Of the
entire end of the car.

scant success. 1t is against the policy
pursued by the United States In the

ODD REASONS FOR DIVORCE

A Milwaukee brewery worker re-
Gently applied for a divorce from his
wife on the ground that she had
bought bottled beer from a rival COM
pany.
A reason just as curious was put
forward by a man named Adolph
Schnell. who, a short time ago, filed a
suit for divorce in Kansas City against
his wife, who was described as a
trance medium" The applicant
named four spirits as the cause of
his domestic troubles. These were
Mike Conroy, whom Mrs. Schnell call
ed her chief guide. and three Red In
dians-Red Wing, Red Feather. and
High Horse. Schnell declared that he
was unhappy when the ghosts were
around, and could not sleep. las soon
as | get into my first Sleep he said,
my wife begins to yell, and when |
ask what is the matter, she says:
Mike Conroy is here. He wants you
to get up and talk to your g%randfath-
err When Mike possesses her she
talks with a brogue, and keeps asking

It Is on record that the shaving on
of his beard by a French king was the
cause of a long and disastrous war be-
tween France and England. In the
United States 1t has been responsible
for at least one matrimonial tragedy.
Only last year a lady applied for a d.
vorce on the ground that her husband
had given too much license to his bar
Der. He had-without, of course, con
sulting his "better-half' actually
dared to remove his beard. HE looks
too young without his beard" CON-
planned the fair petitioner. HE has
not enough dignity to pass as my hus-
band unless his weak little chin Is
covered up and hidden away behind a
beard. I've told him many a time that
if he ever let a barber cut 1t off I'd
get q divorce; and one day, a few
weeks ago, he came home with a
clean-shaven face. And now it's all
