INSPIRATION INSTITUTE
Teachers o£ Clare County Hold An
Inspiration Institute at Far-
well October 31  and
November 1—2.
There Is no class of people,—attorneys, teachers, farmers, bankers, or
whatever class—but can improve on
habits of dally'living and in their var-
d|/ ions vocations by coming together
occasionally and exchanging ideas and
methods, expressing individual difficulties and hearing suggestions which
to carry out will alleviate these difficulties. This is especially true of
teachers. These institutes are conducted by men who have made the
profession of teaching a lifelong study,
and to follow whose suggestions will
make better teachers and consequently, better schools, the old adage "as is
the teacher, so is the school!' holding
true to the begining of the 20th century.
This is a three days' institute and
it will pay every teacher to attend.
The law says if teachers attend
these institutes they shall receive
their salaries just the same. We have
heard of 0De member of a school
board wbo was' narrow minded enough
to refuse to allow a teacher to attend
an institute and have her salary continue. We hope that fellow is off the
board, that tbe yoters are forgiven
for ever putting him on in the first
place, and that he'll never allow himself to be put on a school board again.

SAYS SPANISH   VOLUNTEERS
Are Entitled To A Bounty of $192.
A Forgotten United  States Statute   Uncarted By Ah Eastern Lawyer.
The discovery bas been made by one
of the leading attorneys of Brooklyn,
N. Y., that every volunteer who enlisted in the Spanish war Is entitled
to a bounty amounting to $192 provided for by a Federal statute passed
many years ago. It is estimated that
a discovery of these old laws will cost
the Federal Government about $5,000,-
000.
The matter is now pending before
Attorney-General Knox, at Washington, and John C. Sexton, presiding
judge of state court of claims, It is
said that the 3,000 claims represented
by the attorney will be allowed without any extended legal contest,' The
matter is expected to be settled within the next ten days.
During' the civil war bounties
amounting to 8300 were paid to volunteers. Some time after the war this
law went out of existence. To provide for future contingencies tbe federal bounty laws were passed. During the late war two classes of bounties were paid by the federal authorities. To those privates who enlisted
for service in any part of the world
$31.20 or two months' additional pay
was allowed. Officers of all grades
were allowed two months' extra pay.
To those volunteers who would not
leave the country one month's extra
pay was allowed. The discovery of
the old laws was made by accident
while the attorney was looking ofer
some old federal statutes.
"ITINERANT  VENDERS.
The Enactement  of   the   Recent
Legislature Put Them out
of Business.
Davy & Co. sent James G. Rox-
burg up to Harrison this week where
they had advertised a sale of cloaks
and jackets. Jim had scarcely
opened np for business wben he got
notice to quit.
Tne law prohibiting sales
nature was framed and passed
recent legislature, and while
filets with the enterprise of
of-this
by the
it con-
some of
our own merchants, we believe it a
splendid law. Below we give Section
I of act No. 191, public acts of 1901:
The words "itinerant venders," for
the purposes of this act, shall be construed to mean, and include all persons, both principals and agents who
engage in a temporary or transient-
business in this State, either in one
locality, or in traveling from place to
place selling goods, wares and merchandise, and who for the purposes of
earring on such business, hire, lease or
occupy any building or structure for
the exhibition and sale of such goods,
wares and merchandise. No itinerant
vender shall be releived or exempted
from the provisions and requirements
of this act by reason of associating
himself temporarily with any local
dealer, trader, merchant or auctioneer,
or by conducting such temporary or
transient business in connection, with
or as a part of the business of, or in
the name of any local dealer, trader,
merchant or auctioneer.

The postofflce department has decided to place the late President McKinley's head on the new issue of postal
cards which will appear shortly after
December 1 next.
A girl named plain "Mary-- at her
birth, dropped the "r" when she grew
up and became Miss May. As she began to shine in a social way she
changed the "y" to "e" and signed
her letters "Mae". About a year ago
she was married, and now she has
dropped the "e"and it's plain "Ma".
Thats'evolution.
That advertising in the newspapers
has become essential to succes in most
enterprises appears from many indications. A striking proof is the extraordinary development of the business of
writing advertisements for the newspapers, One of the oldest and moat
successful schools in this city has
found it expedient to establish a de]
partment for the training of "ad"
writers. It is only a question of time
when every kind of busiuess will make
Its announcement regularly through
the newspapers.—Philadelphia Record.
The girl who expressed her sympathy for the poor farmer because of the
cold job in harvesting his winter
wheat is equal In agricultural knowledge to the desire to see a field of tobacco when it was just plugging out.
But the damsel who asked which cow
gave the buttermilk is entitled to the
whole bakery. But she was not much
ahead of the girl who, having just returned from a visit in the country,
was asked if she had ever seen anyone milk a cow said, "Oh yes, it tickled me to death to see uncle jerk two
of the cow's faucets at the same time!"
Maj. Gen. Corbin's annual report
reveals that the losses from all causes
in the regular army and the volunteers from July 1,1900, to June 30 last
totaled 191924 officers and men In the
former, and 8,191 in the latter,   The
casualties to the troops in the Philippines since the date of the first arrival, June 30, 1898,   to June 30  last,
were 115 officers and 3,378 men killed?.
and 182 officers and 2,646 men wounded.
Gen. Corbin   recommends   that   the-
old law requiring that each candidate-
from tbe ranks for a commission ip*
the army, a "non-commissicned officer*'
in good standing, who has displayed*
an aptitude for command and control"*"
of men," be removed.   While a great*-
many excellent young men have comet?
into the service as officers under thfe* >
present law, which opens the way* for-
commissions to enlist men who haven
had'two years' service, Gen.  GdrJMm
says there has been a number of othe*"s*
who have entered the army as officers*
ln this way who are not up to tfeffis
requirements of their rank.
