Some boys, whose time should be
spent much more profitably, climed
upon tbe German Luthern church
recently, pulled the bell rope through
the roof, and did other pranks to the
damage of the property. The warning note has been sounded by the
board of trustees, and those guilty
will show their good judgement if in
the future they do not trespass upon
these premises.
The fireman's concert at tbe opera
house last evening was attended by a
large audience, and a first-class entertainment was given. John Cofee of
Cadillac was present and bis recitations were well received. Miss Sylvia
Woodruff of Saginaw rendered several
vocal selections which were highly
appreciated. Olare has reason to be
proud of the most excellent home
talent she has, all of those taking part
credibly acquitting themselves.
Wm. F. Dodge, living five miles
southwest of Clare, is the inventor of
a device which will be of lasting benefit to farmers and teamsters generally.
Mr. Dodge once was drawing a load
when the end of tbe reach of the
wagon pulled out, He chained the
reach and proceeded with his load,
and it was chaned in such a way that
when he turned around he noticed
tbe wheels tracked. He studied out
the idea, made his working model, had
the wagon patented, and such an excellent device it is, the invention will
doubtless prove to be a small gold
mine to him. As we said the wagon
tracks when turning around, so that
all the driver has to do is to see
that the front wheels get through
the gate, and the hind wheels take
care of themselves,*—go wherever the
-front ones do. Another excellent
feature is that the tongue of the
wagon remains steady, even in the
roughest roads. The Sentinel will
doubtless give an illustration ofthe
wagon in a subsequent issue.

Plod Less*—Plan More.
The whole gain of our civilization
and of woman's highest welfare lies In
making the present need bead to the
future requirement, in accepting present loss for future gam, in taking long*
and longer chances. We women need
surely to study these duties more
scientifically, more as a whole, instead
of this daily whittling away of our
lives over the seperate parts.
The great object of life is life-nrest-
ful, strong, beneficent—and we women
who desire earnestly "the best things"
for ourselves and our households must
do less plodding and more planning;
less sacrificing and more intelligent
contriving; we must have less guess
work and more accurate knowlege.
We need to gird ourselves daily for a
climb to the "thinking levels," where
we may feel the cool breath of heaven
and recleve inspiration from the large
view.—Stilletta Paton Burke in "the
May Woman's Home Companion.

A wise Baying is this by an experienced employer: "I always Rive preference, tomeb who want to learn, because
a studious man is more attentive to
his duties and can \>e instructed easier
than one who does not care to study,
and if a man studies he has no time to
waste about places where he bad better
not be."
The Western Editor puts it meatily
thus: "If a publisher wants to learn
a thing or two about combination let
him disguise himself as a farmer and
offer a load of corn for sale at one of
his city's elevators. He will be told
that he can have so much per bushel.
Then let him haul it oyer to the other
elevator and offer it for sale. He is
ottered the same price per bushel to
the fraction of a.cent. But if a town
has two print shops it's a cinch that
they are cutting prices and trying to
down each other. No wonder grain
buyers can barrow money at the bank."
Clare's Firemen.
Not a fireman ever falters
When he hears the whistle or hell
That the danger and disaster
Of some lellow mortal tell.
From the festal board and alter.
From the bridal and the bier,
How the firemen all-will hasten
When the danger note they hear.
When the deadly smoke is pouring
Where the lurid banners wave,
You will flnd Clare firemen
Swift to help and to save;
And our city has many a masion
Where a happy home is made
That but for the firemen
There In dust and ashes laid.
Then hurrah for our gallant firemen
Honor them one ana all,
If it were not for tbeir efforts
We would have no city at aU.
