Tomorrow promises to be big day
in the history of the Orange order in
Clio. Special trains are coming loaded
with Orangemen and their friends and
families from all over this section of
the country. There win be sports and
games and music and speaking and, in
fact, program that will provide some
thing interesting every minute of the
time. Among the other attractions
! will be the famous Graves Martial
Band, of Vassar, the largest fife and
drum corps in Michigan, having thirty
members. The tunes which the band
will play have been handed down in the
Graves family from father to son since
the days of the American revolution.
To hear this inspiring music will alone
be well worth all that the entire trip
will cost. Don't fail to be in Clio on
Saturday, July IL.

Paving Contract Let

On Monday evening the council
awarded the contract for completing
the paving of Vienna street, to Victor
Sager, of Saginaw, and on Tuesday a
big power mixer belonging to the latter
was unloaded and placed in position to
begin work. Under the terms of the
agreement Mr.. Sager is to complete the
work within month, but it lis quite
likely that If weather and other condi-
tions are favorable the work will be
completed within half that time. Mr..
Sager has agreed to use local labor to
the greatest possible extent, but for
some parts of the work expert hands
will have to be employed.

WOMEN SMOKERS
ABOUND IN LONDON
They Use Cigarettes as a Matter
of Fact and Now Incline to
Russian Tobacco
MORE LUXURIOUS THAN MEN
JeWeled Cases and Holders Of
Ivory and Amber Some of Nov.
elites They Affect.

London-London, so far has not
followed the example of Chicago in
opening a clinic for the treatment of
thousands of girls and women who
desire to be cured of the cigarette
habit, but the cigarette habit, none
theless, is apparently becoming a con-
hrmed one among women in England.
The manager of a leading firm of
cigarette makers in Picadilly con-
fessed that he had large and in
creasing number of women clients on
his books.
Women smoke as matter of
course now," he said "and it is the
fashion for them to have their cigar
cites specially made for them. Turk
ish tobacco has held the field until
lately, but fashion is tending toward
coarser cut Russian tobacco made
into cigarettes with maize paper,
which slows down the combustion.
Women are more luxurious
smokers than men. They are now 60
ing in for most elaborate holders of
amber and ivory, inlaid with gold or
Jewels. And, of course, they have
their gold and silver cigarette cases
specially made to hold the particular
size of cigarette they smoke, and
charming little jewelled match
boxes"
Physicians have something to do
with the growth of smoking among
women. In prescribing for nervous
women they often include one or two
cigarettes a day as part of the treat
ment, and so the habit starts until
you find woman smoking half dozen
cigarettes with her coffee after lunch" d"
Several London hotel managers
unanimously agreed that for a woman
not OF smoke in the restaurant after
lunch and dinner was now the excep-
ton, and that smoking with afternoon
tea was not unusual
THE cigarette habit is undoubted-
ly becoming general among women"
said the manager of De Keystr's
Hotel. THE old social traditions and
law of etiquette are dying out. On
the continent women have smoked for
years and it is from them that the
women Of this country have caught
the habit. In Germany women have
now started smoking light cigars, but
cannot believe their example will be
followed here"
The most remarkable development
of the cigarette habit among women
is tea-time smoking in tea rooms and
cafes formerly patronized by men.

WHITE MAN HUNTS TROUBLE

Humanity is a pretty sorry lot.
For Tips part he would be just as
proud of himself If he were a happy
negro, Indian, Chink, or, for the mat
ter of that, good yellow dog; that is,
If the one Of these was all happy and
the white man was complete misery.
White folk have been cannibal witch
chasers, and the Lord knows how
many kinds OF liars and hypocrites,
and not nearly so good natured,
happy and true hearted as faithful
dogs and gentle savages. Anybody
could have Mr. Tips white patent of
nobility and the good will and prayers
to go with it, all, for the mere asking,
If anything better were left. Yet we
Yanks are incomparably the best
white folk of them all. Fact? OF
course. Tip does not mean anything
like blood miXings and doings in
comparing white and black. Tip only
means comparings of goodness of
heart. That is just it, Mr.. White
Man is always hunting for trouble
and grievance, so Tip has to draw his
lines as clearly and sharply as a
teak of lightning Tip, in the New

ENGLISH ATHLETIC CHAMPS
WIN THEIR TITLES AT A RIPE
AND RARE OLD AGE.

English and American athletes diff
fer in a number of respects, fact that
has been observed before, especially
at the Olympic games. However, since
the golf Journeys a new distinction has
been brought to our notice. An ath
lete in England doesn't reach his prime
till he is the grandfather of many
bright and merry little ones. To be a
success in athletics in England one
must wait till one has attained what
in this country is regarded as an ap-
proach to the boneyard.
The flippant young Britisher who
recently trimmed Travers in the golf
set-to was a mere child of sixty-one.
Most of the other English contestants
were we'll beyond forty. In America
an athlete of more than twenty-eight
or thirty summers is. thought to be
trailing long, luxiuriant beard. Most
of our tennis and golf stars are well
on this side of thirty and the big per-
centage are of an age when is not
expected of them to devote serious
thought to anything other than their
play. Our English cousins, however,
have little on US there and though
they may enter trade they never quite
give up the manner and pastimes of
their younger days. Or perhaps they
don't expect to play finihsed game
much before they are ready to sink
into the grave.

THE LAUGHTER OF DICKENS,

Dickens taught us how to laugh.
The world when "Pickwick," appeared
was not very gay world. 1t was, l
admit, somewhere about the time Of
the coronation of Queen Victoria, but
when we read the literature of that
time we see little trace of anything
that could amuse anybody. The old
jokes, the jokes of Scarron and the
Restoration dramatists, and even the
humor of Fielding and of Goldsmith,
no longer provoked laughter; but in
this island, washed as it is, 1 think
Lord Beaconsfield said, by melan-
choly ocean, laughter is a physical ne
cessity. And after all, am l not right
IN saying that laugh, a real laugh,
at any literary product, except of
course comedy on the stage-any
laugh over book that you are read
ing is almost the rarest luxury which
you can enjoy.-Address by Lord
Rosebery.

CURFEW RINGS ON
COURTING YOUTHS
Eight O'clock Time Set by Harris.
Vile, w. Va, as Bedtime for Its
Young People


Harrisville, w. va.-This town of
800 persons, famous as the ia ess
village, is bidding for fame ain.
This time it is through the enforce
ment of an ordinance which may make
many bachelors and "old maids"
from the youth of the town.
The eagle-eyed mayor arrested
three boys for a violation Of the cur
few law, requiring all persons under
20 years of age to be in their homes
by o'clock in the evening and they
are threatening to begin legal pro-
ceedings, alleging that the curfew re-
stricts personal liberty and violates
the Constitution. The mayors. how
ever, declares the law will be en-
forced to the letter
Whats the Constitution got to do
with regulating the peace, good order
and civic etiquette of Harrisville, any
how?" he asks.
Harrisville is unique among the
cities of the world in that it levies
no property tax. This comes about
because the town owns it's own nat.
ural gas plant-the wells, lines and
equipment This it rents out at in.
tervals for short periods to the high,
est bidder.
SO productive has been this ex
ample of municipal ownership and
skill in town management that some
years ago it was considered that ii
might be possible to declare divi
dends to the citizens, or offer bon
uses for births and newcomers.
