Decoration Bay is again drawing
near. Year after year it is coming to
supplant the Fourth of July in the
affection of the loyal people of the na-l
tion. As a citizen remarked to the
Observer this week, "The Fourth of
July has grown to he a day of red lemonade." If the day were given up
merely for recreation and spdrt, a day
of jollification in memory of the proclamation of Liberty, the sober-minded
citizen might lay aside his dignity for
a day and join in the celebration; but
when he knows that nine-tenths of
the money subscribed for the day is
given by persons who look to the crowd
assembled on that occasion to reimburse themselves and net them a neat
sum, he looks hard to find the patriotic motive that the flaming posters proclaim. Hot so with Decoration Day.
There is no feeling that sinks deeper
or lasts longer than sorrow. Gratitude
is closely allied to patriotism, and both
harmonize better with a day of reflection and pathetic memories than with
wide-mouthed and unthinking rioting.
We owe it no less to the growing generation than to the faltering line of
surviving heroes, that we make each
recurring 30th of May a more memorable day than the last.

How for the park! How that electric lights are assured, and the city has
secured the old high school" and will
soon fit it up for municipal purposes,
the council and citizens should give
full attention to the new park. The
conncil of 1894 should have due credit
for the initiatory in the matter of the
park, but it remains for the council of
1895 to co.ver itself with glory or disgrace in consummating the work.
Clare has never done anything by
halves in the way of improvements
-and conveniences, public or private.
The water works, electric lights, city
hall, schools, hotels, opera house, business blocks, etc., all show this. How
let our park and our streets be second
to none. As to the park, while the
civic pride would prompt the laying
out of something worthy of the city,
there is no need of any large expense.
In fact, the public will not and should
not tolerate it. Fortunately it is not
necessary. The first important thing
is for the council, as the ordinance requires,-to appoint a well considered park
commission. The right men can arouse enough enthusiasm that nearly
the whole work and expense can be
taken care of by private individuals
and the several benevolent, fraternal
and church societies of the city t One
dollar and enthusiasm can accomplish
more than one hundred dollars and a
dead interest.   Push the park!
Can you repeat the constitutional
oath that is .required to . be taken by
every one in assuming any office whatever under the state of Michigan, from
constable to governor' The Observer
is willing to wager a Canada copper
that you can't, without looking up the
"statoots." It isn't"a very difficult nor
long formula, and every citizen ought
to know it. A good many of them
think they do, but if tested by the
book would be found wanting. When
elected to any office, within a specified
time after the vote is canvassed and
declared, the person elected must make
out and sign .the following form, and
swear to the same (if he intends to accept the office), before a notary public,
and file the same with the clerk of the
city, village, township, or county, or
secretary of state, as the case may be.
Following is the oath: "I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States and the
constitution of this state, and that I
will discharge the duties of (here insert the name and place of the office)
to the best of my ability, (signed)."
To which the notary adds the following: ' 'Subscribed and sworn to before
me, this (date and name of notary,) notary public in and for (blank) county."
The oath taken by the president or
any federal officer is the same as given
above, except that the state is not referred to. Persons required to give
bonds, like a sheriff or treasurer, fill
out a blank form of the oath on the
bond. Those of whom bonds are not
required may write out the oath on
any ordinary paper, swear to it before
a notary, and file it with the proper
clerk. Query: How many teachers in
this county could repeat the constitutional cath of office? The above remarks were suggested by i:a- conversation overheard between a couple of citizens on the streets recently.
[This department is under the control of the W.
O. T. U. of Clare. All matter intended for it
should he addressed to Rev. Mrs. Hinman,
editor of the department.
The local W. C. T. TJ. of Clare will
meet in the reading room, Saturday,
April 20th.
There will be an entertainment under the auspices of the W. C. T. TJ. in
the near future.
We all enjoyed the paper read by our
president last week.
We are in hopes that in the near future we shall hear from the superintendent of narcotics, as we believe tobacco to be very hurtful to the young.
Let us hear from Miss Wadsworth,our
superintendent, soon.
TOBACCO—A PARABLE.
Tben shall the kingdom of satan be
likened to a grain of tobacco seed
which, though exceedingly small, being cast into the ground, grew, and became a great plant, and spread its
leaves rank and broad, so that huge
and vile worms formed a habitation
thereon, and it came to pass, in the
course of time, that the sons of men
looked upon it and thought it beautiful to look upon and much to- be desired to make lads look big and manly.
So they did put forth their hands and
did chew thereof. And some it made
sick, and others to vomit most filthily,
and it further came to pass that tnose
who chewed ifc became weak and unmanly and said, we are enslaved and
can't cease from chewing it. And the
mouths of all that were enslaved became foul, and they were seized, with
a violent spitting; and they did spit,
even in ladies' parlors, and in the nouse
of the Lord of Hosts. And in the
course of time it came also to pass that
others snuffed it, and they were taken
suddenly with fits, and they did sneeze
with a great and mighty sneeze, insomuch that their eyes filled with tears
and thev did look exceedingly silly.
And yet others cunningly "wrought the
leaves thereof into rolls and did set fire
to one end thereof, and suck vehemently at the other end thereof, and did
look very grave arid calf-like.
And the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever. And the
cultivation thereof became a great and
mighty business on the earth, and the
merchant men waxed rich by the commerce thereof. And it came to pass
that the saints of the Most High defiled themselves therewith; even the
poor who could not buy shoes, nor
bread, nor books for their little ones,
spent their money for it. And the Lord
was greatly displeased therewith and
said: "Wherefore this waste; why do
those little ones lack bread and shoes
and books? Turn now your fields into
corn and wheat and put this evil thing
far from you and be seperate, and defile not any more and I will bless you
and cause my face to shine on you."
But with one accord they all exclaimed, ''We cannot cease from chewing,
snuffing and puffing—we are slaves."

IN A WELL.
Archie Davis Was Browned in
One at Kent's
In the Township of Hatton, Last
Albert Lynch, whose work is becoming so much more generally known to
Americans, through his drawings in
Scribner's Magazine and his cover designs for The Ladies' Home Journal,
is a Peruvian by birth, but of English
parentage. He is only thirty-three
years of age, and of extremely retiring
disposition. He is unmarried and lives
in Paris. The young artist commands
the highest prices for his work, his
smallest water-color paintings readily
selling for $.600 to $900 each. In 1893
he received the Salon'c first prize for
his beautiful panel of "Spring," showing a single figure. This picture won
the admiratiou of the French art
critics and the public to such an unusual degree that the painting was
sold for a fabulous sum to a private
Paris buyer. Recently The Ladies'
Home Journal acquired all publication
rights to this painting, and -it will
serve as one of the cover designs for
that magizine. The next issue of the
Journal will also have a design by
Lynch, portraying his conception of a
woman's ideal costume. A succession
of other cover designs by Lynch will
follow these two.
Eight miles straight north of Clare
on a section corner is a white school
house. A half mile west of the school
house, on the road that leads in to
Hatton, is Kent's mill, where a
tragedy occurred Monday afternoon,
by which Archie, son of M. Davis, lost
his life.
Hear the mill is a house where Wm.
Witherell, the engineer, lives. Along
the road near Hatton lives M. Davis,
a man not over blessed with worldly
goods, but whose son, Archie, a lad of
fifteen years, was coming to be of considerable assistance. Archie drove
team for the men working in the
woods back of the mill, and Monday
he was just starting out after dinner
from the mill, driving the horses
which were not attached to a wagon,
when he was met between the house
and the mill" by Mr. Witherell, the
engineer. They stopped to talk for a
few minutes when the engineer went
on to the house after something to use
at the mill. That was the last Archie
was seen alive.
When the engineer came out of the
house he saw the horses walking along
toward the mill with the lines dragging. Thinking they might get away
he tied them near the mill, supposing
the boy had stepped into the mill, or
somewhere out of sight near by.
In one corner of the mill is a dug
well, 25 or 30 feet deep, covered
with boards. Some of them had become broken, and it was to .repair
them that the engineer had gone to
the house for tools. When he returned he proceeded with the work.
In an hour or so the men came from
the woods to find out why the team
did not come along, and found it as
tied up by the engineer. Thinking
something must be wrong they began
a search through the mill and near
it, even examining the well. Then
they hunted through the woods. The
mill and the well were searched two or
three times during the afternoon and
enquiries made every where. Finaly,
late in the evening, a more careful
investigation of the well was made.
Tbe engineer went down in the well
and with a pole discovered that some
object was at the bottom. Attaching
a hook to the pole, the body of the boy
was brought to the surface. He seemed
to have been, in a sitting posture.
Doubtless the unfortunate boy had
gone to the well for a dri,n.k of water
before going to the woods, had stepped
upon the broken boards, or in some
such way had fallen in. There was
some talk of asking a coroner's jury to
investigate, but the circumstances
surrounding the event seemed so
simple and easily explained that it was
not done. The funeral was held Wednesday.
