NIGHT OF TERROR
ON FLOE OF ICE
Dreadful Experience OF
Mail Carriers.

Cheboygan, Dec. 2S-Half dead from
exposure and with hands anb feet fro
zen, Fred Roberts, thirty-eight years
old, mail carrier between Cheboygan
and Bois Blanc island, staggered ashore
eighteen miles east of here Friday
night after twenty-eight hours adrift on
on ice floe in temperature that had
proved fatal to his companion, Joe
White, forty years old, fellow mail
carrier.
Roberts was barely able to give
directions for the hunt for Whites
body before he collapsed.
A party headed by the sheriff, left
to attemp the recovery Of Whites body.
The two mail carriers with their dog
sledges left Bois Blanc to return to
Cheboygan at p. m. Thursday after
noon after delivering the Christmas
mail. When about half way across the
straits the ice parted and they found
themselves adrift toward Lake Huron.
They were shelterless and exposed to
the bitter cold all Thursday night.
White succumded and Roberts was
barely able to make his way ashore
when the floe neared land eighteen
miles east of this city at six o'clock
Friday night. He will recover.

JANUARY.

January this year opens and closes
with full moons, and in all probability
a dozen more silly, sentimental, popu
lar songs will be written about them.
We never could see where anyone
could find inspiration in a January
moon. But then one doesn't need in
spiration to write popular song. 1t
takes nerve. Most of them sound like
the writer had been fuller than the
moon he was describing.
The month has also been strong for
bringing popular people into the world.
Among January's products have been
Mary Ellen Wilkins, John Hancock.
Benjamin Franklin, Daniel Webster,
Thomas Paine, Alexander Hamilton,
and bunch of others who never learned
the value of printers ink and SO lived
and died unknown outside their own
township.
January also gave birth to the parcel
post system couple OF years ago,
since which time we have learned that
express companies are the only de-
stroyers of private property. And
there's the postal savings system, too,
celebrating its fourth anniversary this
January. but there's not many of us
that could withdraw our entire account
and buy postage stamp with it.
With firm determination, We resolve
to start clean, new leaf, leaves off all
habits that are wrong and try to rid
the world of grief. With shining face
and lightened tread, we enter into life
anew, and things 60 well until the
mails remind us OF Accounts Now
Due" 1t seems we owe most every
one, and though some owe MS quite a
bit, 1t doesn't seem they have resolved
to come around and settle it.

Sunflower Philosophy.


Whenever any little thing hurts a
man he says it hurts just as though
some one had cut out his heart with
a knife.
About the wisest looking thing in
the world is a country boy who has
been boarding in town three or four
months and studying law.
The woman folks in church have
their first grave doubt of their pas
tors sincerity when he marries a
woman belonging to some other
church.
She the Young Things are always
saying of some Older Thing, has the
money to buy good clothes and doesn't
look good in them
People manage to keep all other
family gossip private except when they
have been married more than once.
This little history always leaks out
There is not much demand for men
who are able to earn $1.25 a day, but
men who are able to earn 50, "a, s5 and
So a day are in brisk demand.
When the young take up cold baths
and sleeping out of doors, it is be-
cause they have heard it is good for
the complexion, but older people fol
low reforms of this kind for health's
sake.
IF it were not for just one little
thing we heard an inventor say once
II would have the greatest invention
in the world That one little thing Is

WOMEN OF coREAN COURT.
Great Reduction in Their Number
Influence They Once Exerted.

The visit of three Corean court la
dies to Japan is an indication of the
striking changes that have resulted
from the Japanese occupation of the
Hermit Kingdom. Two years ago
there were no fewer than 1900 ladies
in waiting, now there are only 100.
This wholesale reduction naturally
created CONSERVATION, and there was
much lamentation among those whose
services were dispensed with. Their
been altogether enviable. 1t appears
that it has been the custom to take
girls into the court from the age OF
10, and thenceforth throughout the
whole period of their natural lives
they were never allowed to leave the
precincts of the palace, SO that they
lived in absolute ignorance of the
outside world
The few who accompanied the EN-
peror on his recent tour gave evil
dence of the timidity which had re-
suited from their long confinement,
for they could hardly be persuaded to
enter the train, and they finally did
so with manifest trepidation.
Hitherto the influence of these la
dies at court has been very great.
Having constant access to the ear
of the Sovereign, on the one hand,
and being, on the other, accessible to
all the intriguing influences that pre-
vailed in the unwholesome atmos-
phere of the court, their power ex-
ceeded even that of Ministers of State.

POLICE CHIEF HAS
WIRE CONCERNING
MADAME HOUSTON
WANTED To- KNOW WHETHER
OR NOT THE FORTUNE TELLER
WHO OPERATED HERE SOME
YEARS AGO, WANTED HERE

Chief of Police Sanders yesterday
afternoon received a telegram from
Chief Van LEW, of Mobile, asking if
there wasa warrant here for Madame
Houston, who operated here to some
extent some three years ago, and gave
the impression that the woman was
now in Mobile.
Chief Sanders at once consulted his
own files, as well as taking the matter
up with the sheriff's Office, and ascer-
tanned that there had been q war
rant sworn out at one time, but that
as it had been issued more than three
years ago, it had expired by operation
Of the statute of limitation. The war
rant which had been sworn out here,
it was stated, charged the woman with
obtaining the sum Of about $156, but
it was reported at the time that it
was issued that, were It possible to
have found woman at the time,
there would have been other charges
probable.
Madame Houston, while here, OPP
Grated at her quarters on East Greg
DRY street, where it was understood
she was given large line of business

eral impression she had induced many
in the city to part with considerable
sums Of money.

DESIGN MUST FIT THE SITE
House Improperly Adjusted viii Of
ten Mar the Effect of Otherwise
Pretty Street.

A type Of house that is suitable for
almost any suburban locality is the
frame house, with the exterior walls
of clapboards or shingles. In building
a frame house, however, it is neces-
sary to have a design that is fitted
for the site. With either clapboards
or shingles, an exposed foundation Of
brick or stone is correct. Solid con-
crete, as well as the stucco finish on
a wooden frame, also lend themselves
to certain styles of architectural work.
Another attractive combination is
the first story of concrete or stucco
with an upper story Of shingles. A
good combination is a dark red stucco
lower story with green or weathered
shingles above. The roof of this
type Of house should be tile and
should be of a sloping and rambling
construction so as to bring into play
all the color in the roof material to
Offset the upper story of the house

Work of

The soil in which plants take root
and grow is the product, not of inor-
ganic disintegration, but of continual
tillage by innumerable minute organ
inns.
Attention was first called to the
work performed by earthworms in the
production of humus by Charles OAR
win in 1881. Darwin demonstrated that
earthworms regularly eat earth, as
simulate the ~digestible organic consti-
tuents and de- osit the residue as excre-
ment in little heaps On the ground. In
this way they necessarily till the su-
perficial stratum of soil and carry
downward stones and other coarse
parts. All of the soil passes through
their bodies every two years, and it is
thus loosened, fertilized and prepared
for the growth of plants better than
can be done by human agency. Earth
worms improve the soil also by bury
ing leaves, which rot and are then
eaten by the worms.
Hence earthworms are among the
most valuable of animals and they
should never be killed, but their
enemies, moles, field mice and the
large running beetles and millipedes
should be destroyed.

and in the departments of the stores
that deal in everything women want

lace, of net, of sheer fabrics, Of silk
and of yarns.
A little jacket of batiste is shown
in the picture. 1t is designed to be
worn over a light-colored evening
gown or afternoon gown, but for the
purpose of bringing out the pattern it
is photographed over a dark street

with shaped underarm seams, and has
a high turnover collar at the back.
A very fine pattern in eyelet embroid'
cry trims the bottom, and a narrow
edging of filet lace is stitched or all

who have created them. There is moth

trimmings to further commend them,
