Santa Fe Shop Man Complained
of a Funeral.
Not a Friend Among MOurners
at Catholic Church.
FRIENDS NAME NOT MENTIONED
Everything Was Strange to
Him-Even Pallbearers.
Found Out Later He Went to
the Wrong Church.

The Catholic faith lost two good
friends in Topeka this week-one an
ardent supporter. who died, and the
other a friend of the dead man ana a
prospective convert. Catholicism was
not to blame in either instance.
A santa Fe shop foreman who had
no particular brand of religion had a
close friend who was a Catholic He
had not been a Catholic long but his
attitude before his death towards
things in the Great Beyond impressed
the shop foreman. The foreman had
been in few churches since childhood
and he was a busy man but when the
date was set for his friends funeral
he asked for day off at the shops and
determined to attend wherever the fu-
neral might be.
Thru inquiries he learned that the
funeral was to be held at the Catholic
church. on the day set he dressed in
clothes to which he was unaccustomed,
hurried to the church and found a
crowd there ahead of him. The fu-
neral was already in progress. He
slipped into seat and noted the
progress of the ceremonies. He let
his mind dwell upon his dead friend !;
upon the pleasant hours they had
spent together in friendship and of the
faith the friend had embraced before
his death. lie looked at the casket
and thru its dark sides saw the face
and form of his departed friend.
He was unaccustomed to funerals of
any kind but he had a dim recollec-
ton. carried with him from child
hood. OF the manner in which such
ceremonies should be conducted. Based
upon that recollection he was disap-
pointed in the management of the last
rites over his friend. He left the
church disa ppointed mourner.

TO HASTEN LIQUOR BANIsnMENT
"Drys- of Michigan Are Reported to
Re Considering Legislation.

The success Of the "drys" at the
polls last week Tuesday has brought
about a proposal to try and put upon
the statute books a law abolishing the
sale OF liquor at once. Under the
constitutional amendment adopted.
liquor IL banished on May /, 1918.
The placing OF the time so far ahead
was for the purpose OF allowing those
business or stocks OF liquor on hand
TO dispose of them before the law
goes into effect and IL is a course TAX
en- In almost all of the states where
prohibition is placed in force by con-
stitutional amendment.
The unexpected success scored on
Nov 2 has prompted the more ardent
"drys" TO attempt to hasten the exit
OF booze and hence the proposal.
Grant Hudson. superintendent Of
the Michigan Anti-Saloon League.
says:
The headquarters OF the anti-sa-
loon league, since Wednesday morn
ing. las been flooded with letters,
telegrams and telephone calls, urg-
ing that the Legislature be asked to
make statutory prohibition effective
May /, 1917, 70 continue until the con-
stitutional amendment becomes effec-
tive May /, 1918
The burden OF these letters has been
that the people have declared the sa-
looms a nuisance and menace, and
that Is months OF their continuance
means an unnecessary economic tax
on the communities where they exist.
They say IS months more of saloon
regime means many ruined homes and
a loss of many boys and girls.
Do the people OF Michigan want
the legislature to pass such legisla-
ton? is the question before us The
attorney for the anti-saloon league
has assembled the various laws from
the statute books In various states
where prohibition has been adopted.
and after assembling this data in
proper form, will hold conference OF
the best legal minds in the state. SO
that when the legislature conyenes.
the anti-saloon league can place be-
fore the legislators proposed legisla-
tion that will merit their careful con-
sideration and their favorable action" !"

J0UN PALM DEAD.

After suffering patiently for nearly
two years with tuberculosis, John
Palm passed from this life last Tues
day. Mr. Palms heroism has been
told OF in these columns before. He
kept HIS nerve to the last, realized
that his end was drawing nearer all
or the time and as long as he was able
to move he provided for himself, fear
ing that he might communicate his
ailment to any of his family that
should nurse him or live in the same
room with him.
lie was a man about 80 years Of
ago and had lived I'm Crystal Falls
for many years. moving here from the
Dunn location where his parents
lived He was member OF tho
Eagles and that order did everything
in lta power 10 assist him during his
illness.

OPTION FOR WISCONSIN BORDER.
Marinette and Florence Counties Seek
10 Bar Michigan Drunks.

There is a persistent rumor to the
effect that Marinette and Florence.
both Wisconsin towns near the bor-
der, will ere long vote on the question
OF local option. II is claimed that the
petitions are already being prepared
in Marinette and we have been told
that some of the better element OF
Florence are getting ready to circu-
late petitions in that place.
II has been the general opinion that
Florence and other border towns
would be greatly benefited by the fact
that their neighbors across the line
went dry" II seems that this pros
perity isn't one that is greatly de-
sired by them.
One Florence county resident is
quoted as saying recently.
1T was bad enough when we had
only Iron county drunks but pretty
soon we will have added to them the
Dickinson county drunks and that's
too many altogether"
When Menominee goes dry" Mari
nette will inherit the buns OF that
town and IL seems that the Wisconsin
fellows don't care to claim the legacy.
Those who have made the psychology
OF the liquor movement a study say
that IL is a noticeable fact that when
section goes dry" the surrounding
country soon follows suit.
IL Is claimed that the fact that On
tario went dry aided very much in De-
troit and other border cities.
