We hope a city ticket may be nomi-

WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS

girl. This society, with thirty other
State Societies, are federated with our
own corporation in a National Society
These federal states supervise chill
dren or receive them into full legal
control by the request of another state
At the present time we have two
wards in California, supervised by the
California Society. This relieves US
of very heavy burden, which would
be necessary to visit them on the Pa
cific coast and they are carefully
watched by our sister Society. The
Kansas Society having found that they
had made a mistake in placing the
children in the Grand Rapids Home,
and no adoption having taken place
decided to transfer title to US. This
they did and so we simply took pos
session of the children of which we
were legal guardians and for whom
we were entirely responsible
In writing of the society being Ii
censed, Mr.. Dysart said: ''The pur-
pose is to give the State supervision
of the dependent children and pre-
vent careless work in homing orphans
and dependents"
1t is possible that some day the
Little Leader will be able to see good
in something and really find out what
it is talking about before the public.
If the Little Leader wants more
information about the Children's

ter respectfully referes them to L. NJ.

EARLY IMPRESSIONS
OF MADISON.

The natural beauty of Madison, the
capital city of Wisconsin, has attract
ed comment far and wide That the
early pioneers were not unmindful of
its charms, is indicated in a letter,
written in 1888, by a resident of the
young city to a friend in Ohio, which
has just come into possession of the
Wisconsin Historical Society.
81 am now at the copital of this
Twill be- great state-and a more
beautiful spot no man ever beheld.
Surrounded on sides by small lakes
of or miles in length and breadth,
and with most splendid country on
all sides, no description that [ could
give could convey an adequate notion
Of it as nature has made it. But
when I tell you that unlike our State

h woods look like an orchard, and
hat the prairies, trolling generally
ike the woodland), and small lakes
md cold springs are handsomely in
5erspersed, you can imagine that it
looks almost like an Eden.

Madison is about 100. It has been

E. n. POMAINVILLE CANDIDATE
FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

Edward n. Pomainville, in an inter
view with a Reporter preventative
this morning said that he would run
for reelection as Justice of the Peace.
In presenting 1[r. Pomainville's
name to the public, it is with the belief
that he is a good man for the position.
His past experience in the office, to say
nothing of his many interests in the
city and his training in legal sense
fits him for the position of Justice of
the Peace as few men are fitted.
Mr.. Pomainville is a man who has
given satisfaction in the Office and
there is no doubt whatever that he will
be returned to Office by the voters of
Grand Rapids.
