put down walks that will.not only be
lasting but! will be decided improvements to the town. Some towns pay

paying One-third the cost and it is

are few walk3 in the town hot cement,

People kiss their dead who never
stoop to kiss their living; they hover
over open caskets with hysterical sobs,
but fail to throw their arms about
their loved ones wbo are fighting the
stern battle of life. A word of cheer
to a struggling soul in life is worth
more than all the roses in Christendom
piled high on casket covers. The dead
cannot smell the flowers but the living can; scatter them broadcast in
their pathway, therefore, and pluck
out the thorns.
It has been agreed that newspaper
subscribers are a pretty fair test of a
man's honesty. They will sooner or
later discover the man. If he is dishonest he will cheat the printer some
way, declare he has paid when he has
not, send money in the mails whicb
was lost, will take the paper and never
pay for it on the grounds that he never
subscribed for it, or move off and leave
it coming to the office he left. Thousands of alleged good people are dishonest in this particular, at least, and
the printer's book will tell fearful tales
at the final judgment.
The Scientific American gives this
recipe, which is invaluable to all: "At
the first indication of diphtheria in
the throat of a child, make a room
close, then take a tin cup and pour into it a quantity of tar and turpentine,
equal parts. Then hold the cup over
a fire so as to fill the air with fumes.
The little patient on inhaling the
fumes, will cough up and spit out the
membraneous matter, and the diphtheria passes out; the fumes of the tar
and turpentine loosen the matter-in
the throat and thus afford the relief
that has baffled the skill of physicians."
Chancy Johnson of State Line Mills,
Pennsylvania, a former resident of
Clare, has just received a draft from
Olare Court, No. 210, Independent
Order of Foresters, for $500 as a total
disability claim, Mr. Johnson being a
member of Clare Court. This is the
first claim of this kind ever paid in
this part of the country, Mr. Johnson has no further assessments to pay
on the balance of his $1000 policy.
The draft was sent just-as soon as the
proof was sufficient to show he was
totally disabled. Clare Court was
instituted 1886 and has never been
called upon to pay a death claim yet.
"Some people seem to think," said
Ed. H. Doyle, philosophizing, "that
it's a crime for a man to be without a
classical education, 'way up in roots

"If I were to give you an orange,"
said Judge Foot, of Topeka, to Dr O.
McCray, "I would simply say, 'I give
you the orange,' but should the transaction be intrusted to a lawyer to put
in writing he would adopt this form:
'I hereby give, grant and convey to
you all my interest, right, title, and
adyancage of and in said orange, together with its rind, skin, juice, pulp
and pit3, and all right and advantage
therein, with full power to bite, suck,
or otherwise eat the same, or give
away with or without the rind, skin,
juice, pulp or pits, anything herein before or in any other deeds, instruments of any nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding,"
Olivet college is establishing a free
scholarship in a limited number of
leading high schools of Michigan, St.
Louis being one of the number. This
scholarship is offered to tbat graduate
whose standing in studies is highest
or next to the highest, is good for the
.coming school year, and is worth
forty-five dollars. This will do much
in solving the problem of going to college, especially in view of the fact chat
at Olivet other-expenses are so moderate that, with economy, from $100 tb
$150 will suffice. Superintendent Dan-
ieiS has been notified of the action of
the college,-and blanks placed 1° n*s
hands to ue filled out with, the name
of the fortunate winher.—St Louis
Republican. Clare is not one of the
schools afforded this offer, but it can
be, and that in the near future, provided the board of education keep
teachers in the school who are in
touch with the best educators of the
state.
Saturday morning about seven
o'clock fire was discovered in the Pearl
Steam Laundry, the gasoline used in
the polisher having in some way exploded. The rear rooms used for
laundry purposes were almost instantly filled with flames, which
spread rapidly. For a reason with
which we are not yet acquainted, the
fire whistle did not work as ordinarily
and consequently the fire department
did not get out with "their usual
rapidity, But when once the streams
of water were applied the fire was
soon under control, though not until
the building was badly wrecked and
much of Mr. Fisher's household goods
burned. Fortunately for Miss Nellie
Presley, who occupied the front suite
of rooms, nearly all of her goods were
saved. Mr. Fisher's property was just
recently insured for $600. He informs
us that he will start business again
and will probably locate in the Bos well
Block, corner of Main and Seventh
streets.

Too Much for Use
The weather was ve*y favorable
for the ball game Wednesday afternoon and about three o'clock the
Calkinsville and Clare teams- meet on-.
the diamond. From start to finialt
the game was played in* the most
friendly manner, and before & fair
sized audience which manifested considerable enthusiasm. The fact that
our boys were defeated was due to
their lack of practice. The score
stood as follows:
Innings—      UHSHH
Olare— 2 0 SH 01 & 0—1
CalkinsvMe-4 OlOHH S—8
The teams will doubtless meet again
when it is hoped we may convince- onr
neighbors that we usuall play" better
ball than we did Wednesday.
