nearly two years, or practically all of

that three years of incessant warfare
in Mexico would have exhausted the
supply of mules fit for army use, but
Mr.. Define says he was able to buy
more than 10000 of them. He further
said that he had the pleasure of meet
ing Gen. Villa personally, and that
while he is undoubtedly ignorant, he is
also man of great native ability and
is considered to be devoted to the poor
people of his country, whose condition
hitherto has been little better than that
of slaves. Stories of Villas brutality,
he thinks, have been greatly exagger-
ated. The average Mexican peon, Mr..
Define says, is lazy, thriftless and a
natural born thief, whose propensity to
steal causes him to take anything he
can get away with, whether he has
need of it or not. But, of course, con-
ditions have existed for years in Mex
leo which have denied these people
everything except bare existence, so
that their lack of thrift and ambition is
not to be wondered at. Mr.. and Mrs.
Define expect to spend the coming win
ter in Kentucky, where the former is
interested in the business of buying and
selling horses.

Yesterday was the birthday OF James
Whitcomb Riley, one of the greatest
Of American poets, as measured by the
popularity of his verse. Mr.. Riley is
still living, and it will be the sincere
wish of his many admirers that he may
long continue to live and cultivate the
better side of our natures with his
quaint and soulful songs, whose appeal,
like those of Burns, is universal. One

FLINT GIRL TELLS
OF FATHERS CASE
SAYS HE is DIFFERENT AND TELLS
WHY
States That Great Change for Good in
Him Can Be Traced to
Tanlac

Albert West, of 204 Della street,
Flint, has found that Tanlac has done
him lots of good in relieving his kidney
trouble. This is what his daughter said
recently while buying another bottle
for him:
"Tanlac gave my father relief from
a bad case of kidney trouble from which
ne had suffered for long time. This
is the first medicine he has ever found
which has done him any good. He suf-
fered from the worst sort of darting
pains in his back and side. He had
bad headaches and pains in the back of
his head. Indigestion troubled him and
he was badly run down. He lost his ap-
petite and did not sleep very we'll and
his condition was such as to worry us.
He felt listless and run down in every
way.
''It seems as if Tanlac has made him
over, so great is the change in his con-
dition. His kidney trouble has left him
almost entirely. His stomach is better
and now he can eat anything he wants
without suffering from indigestion. He
sleeps well and is always refreshed on
waking up. Altogether he is differ
ent man. And he is highly enthusiastic
about Tanlac."
Tanlac may be obtained here at the
store of E. E. Huyck. [Adv. /

Benson, who has recently been returned
to this charge for the sixth year, and
his estimable wife. The first item on
the program was the serving of splen-
did "pot-luck" supper, which demon
strated that pot-luck and good luck
may easily be synonomous terms. Fol-
lowing the supper those in attendance
adjourned to the auditorium of the

given under the direction of j. F.

master Of ceremonies. j. J. Jones, j.

speeches, complimentary to the work
of the pastor and his wife in Clio and

tions which were very enjoyable, and
the pastor made fitting and feeling
response to all the good things that
had been said of himself and his wife
and spoke appreciatively of the mem
bership of the churches at Clio and
West Vienna. At the close of the
speaking those present formed in line
and greeted Rev and Mrs Renson per.
sonally, after which the happy occasion
came to fitting close with the singing
of "Blest Be the Tie That Binds"
