The emblem of Russia should be a
hog instead of a bear. S"ot satisfied
with bull-dozing Japan out of a part
of her just acquisition by war, the
great northern bully now asks for a
concession of a port and adjaceat territory in the Corean peninsula as a reward for assistance (?) in helping bring
about a peace iu the east. It. was
"piece-," not peace, that Russia was
after, and will probably get it.

A few evenings ago, during the
June-like weather, a couple of Clare's
sporty young men tarried out a little
later than usual, induced therby,
'doubtless, by the balmy atmosphere.
Whether they were intoxicated by
the odor-laden zephyrs or by some
moistuer sort of exhilirant, the Observer is not informed. Where they
had been is not stated. As the dispensatories of liquid refreshments are
closed at 10 o'clock, and it was then
past solemn midnight hour,there could
be no suspicion that they had lingered
late over the bowl. They evidently
were both watching with a "sick
friend" and each was the other's nurse.
At any rate, as they rounded the bank
corner and seyerally and collectively
attempted to get their bearings so as
to steer as true a course for their respective homes as their shifty cargo
they had aboard would p©rmit, the
moon (also late but not full) burst on
their sight around the corner. An argument ensued as to whether it was
the sun coming up or a house on fire.
They agreed to leave the question to
tha third person who just then came
along, and who, like themselves, had
a list to starboard. ' 'Exchcuse me(hic)
gentlWn, it may be the sun or it may
be its (hie) a fl.re,l?d'5n'o. I'm a strang-
er'n the city."        '        c
They say that people sling mud only
when there is a scarcity of rocks. It
may be barely possible that the reason
why Chauncey D. and Grover C. and
other easterners are using such bad
language toward those who favor a
true bimetallic policy, is that they
are a little shy on real bed-rock arguments.

!Now that an official map made by
British authority has been found that
shows that her claim of twenty years
ago agrees with the present boundary
claimed by "Venezuela, GreatJvBritain
may refuse to arbitrate and may conclude to move to substitute her new
map by force. -
Attention., Comrades!
' Again we are called upon to observe
both memorial services and Decoration
Day, not merely .because so ordered
by both national and department
commanders, but because it is a~ duty
we owe to those who fought with us
to keep sacred each year one day to
the memories of those whom God has
seen fit to call from earth to join the
members who from cause of battle
were left upon fields of blood, only to
be remembered. Proud should this
nation be and prouder should it grow
each year, of the privilege of decorating the graves of those who loved liberty better than life, and freedom
better than home and frienis,' Rich in
the inheritance of freemen, glorying
in the pride of a noble ancestry, let
us not shrink from this duty.
Sunday, May 26, W.S.Hancock Post
will hold meniDriai services. All veterans are requested to meet at Post
room at nine o'clock a. m. to attend
such services, also »on Thursday, May
30, you are requsted to meet at Post
room at 9:30 sun time. The order of
decorating will then be performed.
All friends wishing to decorate aTe
asked to meet with us and help form
the line of march to the cemetery.
Especially do we ask the children ' to
join with us.
All soldiers are requested to provide
themselves with a cane and wear the
memorial badge.

Burned In Their Beds.
The Detroit Eree Press of Tuesday
contained the followieg account of a
very sad affair which occurred at Midland: Sunday morning about 3 o'clock
Erank Hale and his young wife burned
to death. It seemes that Hale and
his wife, who were married last September, had been away for some time
and had just returned with the intention of making this their future home.
Til ey had rented a house and had
moved into it, having just completed
the task of moving la&e Saturday night.
Although their f uf niture was not arranged, they concluded to stay in the
house over night. No stoves had been
set up and it is claimed no fires of any
kind had been lighted in the house
since its occupancy by the young married couple.
However, at 3 o'clock in the morning
the building was discovered to be in
flames, and for some unaccountable
reason the occupants were burned
alive, their charred remains being
found in the debris of the building.
Tne faces of both were burned so that
it was impossible for any one to trace
the least resemblance of the unfortunate victims.
Mrs. Hale's maiden name was Louisa
Easterman and her home formerly
was at Earrandville near Pine Run in
Genesee Co., wnere it is supposed her
parents now reside. The fact that
the young wife was soon to become
a mother adds intensitly to the fearful
tradgedy.
About the only thing that escaped
complete distruction by the flames
was a little satchel, picked up by one
of the ladies who was present at the
conflagration. When she disclosed
its contents to a group of ladies standing near, many were the tears that
flowed from kind mother's eyes, for
the contents were an infant's wardrobe all carefully packed away.
The funeral services will be held
here to-morrow. The business men
of this place will take care of the
funeral arrangements.

Written for the Sentinel.—
The latest sleeves are   known
the barnous, butterfly or godet.
Large buttons will be used for ornament, not for closing, on duck outing
suits.
Strict attention should be given to
small details by those who wish to
appear stylishly apparaled.
Tapering boxplates frame the pouch
of an artistic basque, and similar
plaits are applied to its smooth back.
The jaunty middy jackets and vest
may be combined with any of the new
skirts to form a stylish outing costume.
Aprons are necessary additions to a
child's wardrobe and white material
should be selected for their development.
The dress of small children known
as the dilsey gown is only a cunning
little mother hubbard frock with puffed yoke and frills over the shoulders.
The most desirable dresses for traveling and general wear are the tailor
made gowns, which have both neatness
and good style to  recommend them.
Dainty dresses for young girls may
be made of India or China silk, dotted
Swiss or mull, or for more practical
use of challis, crepon, batista,lawn or
dimity.
The front gore of the latest skirts
is extended to form a yoke at the sides
and graceful curves fall below the
yoke, while the back is of the popular
godet style; this skirt will be- highly
favored for tailor made costumes.
The.populrity of blouse waists of
all sorts remains undiminished, adaptability to fabrics of every texture
and their appropriateness to all occasions that are not strict!yceremon-
ious insuring for them high favor from
all practical women.
Card oi Thanks.
The bereaved husband and family of
Mrs. S. E. Hall wish to express their

The Cadillac Hews and Express, in
an article concerning local cyclists,
has this facetious comment regarding Bert Spafford, well known in
Clare at one time as clerk at the Calkins, but at present clerk of the Mc-
Kinnon, Cadillac: ' "'Speaking of the
men we should not neglect to include
the name of H. E. Spafford, who spends
some time each day i.training on the
straight away Mitchell. street track
and is fast demonstrating that although a new' rider he is not of the
order of the slow or content to occupy
other position than lead the bunch..
On Tuesday evening while engaged in
making hot pace down the street with
a dozen or more riders clinging to his
rear wheel, some one from the walk
yelled "go," and Mr. Spafford, realizing his time had come, started the
sprint for home. He finished but not
at the tape. After extricating our
ardent scorcher from the pile of dismantled riders it was discovered that
several square inches of cuticle belonging near the left cneek bone had adhered to the road bed,while the softer
part of the road had returned the compliment. With the exception of a few
streaks from ether portions of the body
carried off by passing wheels no other
damage was done and we note' with
pleasure that the next morning bright
and early found him at it again. Bert
thinks mustard plasters and Tiger Oil
valuable cycling accessories..
