Easter services at the churches last
Sunday were well attended. The sun
shown brightly, the little ones looked
like fairies and the quantities of flowers and foliage in combination witb
satiny straws and gauzy chiffons transformed the useful and necessary article
that was long ago christened a "hat,"
into a "poem" of elegence and beauty.
The pernicious consequences of the
cigarette habit should be kept before
the minds of sensible boys all the time.
The question which presents itself to
every boy is, "Do you want to be physically strong, so that you can rely on
your arms and fists for self-defense if
it becomes necesssary?" Then abstaiu
from the use of tobacco. You will find
that whenever college boys engage in
athletic sports, be it football or boat
racing, the team is made to abstain
from tobacco in any form, because
this interferes with their strength,
and they know it. They are intelligent
and make use of what they know. Do
you want to have a good memory and
be strong mentally? Then abstain
from the use of tobacco while you are
young, because nothing has been
proved more clearly than that tobacco
impairs the memory of the young and
hurts their mental, as well as their
physical powers. Do you want to
make a success of life at the earliest
time, and gain an honest independence? Then do not contract at an early
age the habit of using tobacco, which
is expensive and makes you unnecessarily dependent on others for an injurious luxury for which jihey have to earn
the money. In tho schools in some
places a plan has been tried of forming
voluntary associations of sensible boys
who are trying to do their best to
counteract anioug their schoolmates
the spread of the cigarette habit.--

John Bureh of Harrison, formerly
of Clare, was killed near Sanford, Wednesday night. It seems that some
time ago he purchased a horse and
last Tuesday went to Sand Cord to
bring the animal home. On Wednesday uieht hts body was found in a
water hole in the road, three miles
west of Sandford, apparently having
been killed by the horse, which was
mired in the same place. His wife
was telegraphed concerning the matter and Mr.C. J" Pease went to Sanford,
yesterday, returning with the body
this morning.
Cycling is one of the most pleasant
of pastimes, when indulged in prop*
erly,but the reckless manner in which
many wheelmen dash along the streets
brings condemnation upon the sport
from all sources. Such individuals are
solely responsible for legislation that
has been enacted against the interests
of cyclists. They are a greater detriment to the sport than aid and should
be condrnened by every one who has at
heart the interests of cyclers and cycling. The following is a,'ruje that if
wheelmen should everywhere remember and heed, the popularity of the
sport would be greatly enhanced: Hot
only are the sidewalks for pedestrians,
but pedestrians have the right of way
