An exchange says that the styles of
female wearing apparel in Iceland
^ have not changed in over 100 years.
* In this connection it is perhaps 'not
amiss to call the attention of our contemporary to the fact that the styles
of female wearing apparel in some of
the newely acquired American possessions in the orient has not changed
materially since before the fall of Eve,
A teacher who was in the habit of
iDflictlng punishment in the truly
primitive way,"smarted to administer
«i spanking to a boy who screamed at
the top of his voice "Don't strike
there, you'll hurt my bile," created
quite a sensation, but there was a
lurking suspicion on the part of some
|^4I that it was only a ruse,   while those
more intimately acquainted with the
lad, insisted that he had no bolt at all.
A maiden fair with sun kissed hair,
came tripping down the s>treet; with
face serene—her age sixteen; but gee
. ■,       wiiiz wasn't she sweet.   On a banana
**"        peel slick she came down quick, with
a jolt that shook out her curls; but tbe
words she used must be excused, for
she is one of our nicest girls.    The
naughty young  chap who   saw the
misb*ip, and t-miled with  fiendish de-
■#' light, will regret tbe same,  when he
finds bis name is "pants" next Sunday

A new posSoillce was established in
a s"raall village in the northern part of
the state, and a native was appointed
postmaster. After a while complaints
were made that no mail was sent out
from the new office, and an inspector
wus sent to inquire into the matter.
He. called upon the postmaster and
y- asked why no mail had been sent out.
The postmaster pointed to a big and
nearly empty mail bag hanging up in
a corner and said: "Well, I ain't sent
it out 'cause the bag ain't nowhere
nigh full yet,"
The flag floating over the Wliite
~4 House in Washington indicates to all
who see it-that the president is at
.home Whenever he is out of that
city the flag is carefully folded away.
The same custom prevails at the capi-
tol. Wheneyer either house of congress is in session the flag flies over
the wing of the building which that
house occupies. If there is an evening
session a britrht light in the dome
tells the story. This is. in Washington, what might be termed the "language of the flag."
Rwider, did vou ever observe what a
prominent part the lei/ter Ii has taken
in a combination of three, in our
world's history? When they first; attracted public attention they were to
^ be seen in the advertising columns of
' nearly every newspaper you could pick
up, and stood for "Radway's Beady
Belief," said to be a panacea for all
pains, etc. They next take a prominent part in the celebrated presidential campaign of James G. Blaine,

Bomanism, Rebellion." In tbe year
of our Lord 1898 we find them raising

THE CARNIVAL.
The Event of the Winter's Enter*
taincqtent—A Crowded
House.
The carnival was a success—a complete success and all the ladies who
worked so indefablgably to that end
are deserving of unstinted praise. Ho
one who did not haye a .part in the exercises can appreciate the amount of
hard work the preparation of the exercises made necessary. Mrs. Dewey
Allen drilled the ladies for the march
and showed again her superb ability
as a director. Nearly every business
house in Clare was represented, the
ladies all being attired ib costumes
wnicb were both unique and becoming. Good taste and_ considerable ingenuity were evidenced in the "get
up" of the banners and costumes, and
it would be a hard task indeed to determine whichNwas most attractive.
Each had an individuality of its own
aud all together afforded opportunity
for amusement and words of praise as
the intricate flgures of the long march
were executed. Applause was liberally bestowed, and impartially, by an
audience such as, for size, seldom congregates in Clare. The Doherty opera
house was crowded to the utmost capacity, stage, floor, balcony, gallerj
and aisles being all occupied. Aside
from the carnival march, the cake
walk by several couples of ten-year-
olds, attracted the most applause.
The little folks did themselves proud.
The program also included piano solos
by Misses Dunwoodie, Wilson aud
Wait and Mrs. O.' M. Sutherland, a
monologue by Mr. Will Adams, vocai
solos by Mell Buell and duet by Miss
Wait and R. M. Mussell, recitations
by Mrs. Lucius Converse and Miss
Belle Ironmonger and a skirt dance by
little Miss Moore of Saginaw. A quartet, composed of Messrs. Lee Dunwoodie, Otis Halsted,. Frank Kelly
and Ray Holbrook. favored the audience with selections. Io was a program which for excellence is seldom
equealed.
NOTES.
Too much praise cannot, be accorded
Mr. A. J. Doherty and his two sons,
Fiayd and Frank, for the manner in
which the large audience was bandied
and their jomfoit looked to. They all
worked like Trojans.
floating, It was a task of no mean
proportion as just one little- break in
the time might have proved disastrous
to the step of the ladies in line. In
dispensing praise the management
will plea3e bear in mind that Kirk-
bride's orchestra should receive a goodly portion,
DAVY & COMPANY.
>
In the treatment of Mr. Will Adams
who kindly and willingly gave hjs services, adding much to the entertainment, many condemnatory remarks
have been heard. After rehearsing
his part of the program in the afternoon it would have only been courtesy
to have Jet him finish. Ifc was an iu-
sult of the most glaring kind and one
which the aud ence would have resented had they realized it at the time.
What right the person had who delej
^ated to herself the authority of crossing off that number on the program
we have yet failed to learn. There
were people in thataudience who were
just as good christians and just as
capable of distinguishing the right
from the wrong. We can see no right
and proper reason why those several
hundred people in the audience should
be debaired from further enjoying
Mr. Adams' part of the program by a
mistaken idea of its propriety. We
regret the incident, but satisfy ourselves with the reflection that some
people will "strain at a gnatand swallow a camel,"
Card of Thanks,
The promoters of the business carnival desire to express their deep sense
of gratitude to all who so kindly assisted them in the march, and especially
would they return thanks to the business men who responded so generously,
thebrchestra, A, J. Doherty and sons
and to their enthuastic iind genial
captain, Mrs. D, Allen,
OBITUARY.
Mrs. Thomas Holbrook, Sr.
It is with regiet that we announce
the death Of Mrs. Thos, Holbrook, Sr.,
at 3:35 this morning, at the family
residence. The funeral will take place
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from
the house.
Richard Hales and Mrs. J, D. Allen
weie in Saginaw over Sunday to attend
the funeral of Lewis Hales, the unfortunate young man who was killed
on the P. & P. M. track near New
Boston, The deceased was a nephew
of Lewis, Richard and Lizzie Halos of
Vernon, at which place he lived while
young, later moving to Saginaw where
he entered tlio employ of the F. & P,
M. ns fireman. His many friends here
as well as in Saginaw will be grieved
to hear of his terrible fate for to know
him was to admire him. His wife of a
year and parents have the deepest
sympathy of their Vernon friends.
We must take exception to the de-
aision of tbe judges relative to the
cake-walk. In one sense the decision
was right, in another it was not. It
is not fair to suppose that our little
people, who were amateurs, could successfully cope with their associates
from Saginaw who have received no
little instruction in that particular
line. One might as well expect that
any one of our little girls, after a few
instructions, could equal the little
skirt dancer. The two young people
from Saginaw were extremely graceful
and performed their part in a most
creditable manner and were entitled
to e-'ery graceful recognition possible
for their services, but not to the extent
as given.
While everyone in the audience was
greatly interested in the ladies in the
march and enjoyed the music furnished for the occasion and gave expression
of sympathy for the marchers, yet,
we venture the assertion that but few,
if any, thought of the orchestra and
the strain upon them in the rendition
of continual music. From ttie time
the parade commenced until the last
participant, passed out of the auditor*,
ium the orchestra kept the strains
Death of Ella Regan.
We regret to announce the death of
Ella Regan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
Patrick Regan, of Vernon township,
which sad event occurred in Detroit,
Wednesday, March 22.
Deceased was 24 years of age. She
came to Michigan with her parents in
1889, where sho remained until one
year ago when she accepted a position
in Detroit, where she remained up to
the time of her death.
The remains were brought to the
home of her parents and the funeral
being held from St. Henry's cburch at
ten o'clock Saturday morning, Rev,
Fr, Malone, officiating.
Notwithstanding the intense storm
the funeral was attended by a large
cortage of friends and acquaintances.
There remains to mourn her death
besides father and mother, one sister
and six brothers. They are: Mrs. J.
Lynch of Mt. Car-rial, Canada; who
was unable to attend on account of
sickness, Dennis, Timothy and John
or Calkinsville, Patrick of Ottawa,
Oanaaa, Daniel of Bay City and William of Mt. Pleasant.
The pall bearers were James McCon-
nell, Patrick Battle, John McElhen-
ery, John Mahar and Thaddeas Crowley.
Green be tho turf above thee,
Friend of our better days!
Noneltnew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise.
When hearts, whose truth was proven,
Like thine, are laid in earth,
There should a'wreath be woven
To tell the world their worth.
While memory bids me weep thee,
Nor thoughts nor words aro free,
The grief is fixed too deeply
That mourns a child like thee.
