with an-accident which might haye

quite a serious wound. An artery
being cut he bled profusely and but
for timely aid would certainly have
bled to death.
Indications point that the coming
soldiers'and sailors'reunion at Clare
in September will be one of the mosb
successful meebin gs of ibs kind ever
held in this parb of the state. The
commibtee in charge are public spirited
men, and know how to place the
money at their disposal to the best
advantage. They are sparing no time
or pains to attract the crowd, and not
only to attract, but to royally entertain when oncebere.
This evening at * Doherty opera
house the drama in five acts entitled
Tony the Convict will be rendered by
home talent.. The admissson has been
pinned at 15c, 25c and 35c, which will
be thot not too nigii when it is considered that tbe entire net proceeds go to
ElmeT Doyl, who is suffering from
bronchitis, and whose recovery can
result only from a* climatic change.
As the play is to be rendered by the
besb talent Clare affords we feel safe
in anticipating a pleasant evening's
entertainment for those who attend
and urge that there be a large attendance.
After having remained in a dorment
state for several months, the Clare
County Cleaver again comes to our
desk. The Cleaver is a five column
quaito and is edited by James E,
Dudley. Harrison has been without a
paper for some time and the people
will doubtless appreciate a newspaper
now more than ever. In . his announcement the editor remains silent,
politically, but we are informed by
representative Harrison men that it
will be run in bhe interests of. the
republican party. Mr. Dudley is a
newspaper man of several years' experience and we believe that if Harrison
canlmaihtain a paper he will make a
success of the enterprise,
In the near future Clare is to have
an entertainment, the like of which
has seldom, if ever, been given in the
citv. It is a baby show and is under
the management of the Ladies' Union.
Prizes will be awarded to the prettiest,
the noisiest, the fattest and to fche
one that can cover the most territory
in the shortest time. Some expense,
is attached to this as attends most
shows, You pay ten cents admission
and you also pay five cents^for each
vote you casb. Each baby is Dlaced in
charge of a loquacious damsel whose
duty ib is to secure the mosb votes.
The babies musb be under bwo years
of age and if you wish to enber yours,
fond parenb, leave word ab Elden's
store nexb week. The prizes are bo be
awarded by Clare merchants.

Children's Sunday Evening Diversions
At the close of a long, stormy Sunday
afternoon, when the children have
been read to, and talked to, and instructed until minds are weary, and
active bodies are longing for some
physical exercise, I have put them
thru some simple, light gymnastics.
I have let them lie on the floor with
folded arms to see who could get up
first without unfolding the arms. I
let them strike all sorts Of attibudes, •
and make-"'statuary" of themselves.
After such a performance we have a
play called "Work," which is played
by writing on slips of paper "Pub books
away," "Pick ud papers," "Arrange
the table," and so forth. Each child
draws a slip and hastens to" do as it
directs, and in a very few minutes
order is restored. After an evening
hymn all gather close around mamma
for a last litte talk. Prayers are said,
"good-nights" and kisses are exchanged, and eighb o'clock finds every
"chick and child" in bed. Whatever
is done on Sunday the vital consideration is to develop the moral and spiritual nature, and to make Sundays at
home dolighful to look back upon ia
after years. This may be doue
whether the house be a cottage or a
palace, provided ib contain loving and
sympathetic parents willing to devote
their time on Sundays to their children.—Emily D. Streebert in the
August Ladies' Home Journal.
If you want anything doue,
yourself—then ■ your    failure
much pleasure to others.
