The Tables Turned.
"It is fun for Che boys, but death on
the frogs" when the kids go down to
the pond on a spearing expedition,
but on Tuesday the frogs, (the few
left) nearly tickled themselves to death
when they saw Young Will Kitchen
crawling up the bank with a • long
handledTspear attached to his anatomy
in the region just south ®t his hip
pocket.' The young 'man had been
having lots of fun spearing, and the
spear was temporarily resting in the
bottom of the boat with -"the handle
protruding over the prow of the, craft,
and whem Willie ran plump bang into
a stump it drove one tine @£ the spear
into that part of his person above
mentioned to the depth of about five
inches. He crawled out ;©f the boat
and then some one sawed *he handle
off so that it would not fee quite so
heavy to lug around^ aaaii then Dr,
Park was sent for and it took him
about half an hour to cut the barbed
instrument of torture to frogs out of
the region above mentioned. Willie
won't go spearing again for some time;
and he won't sit down any too often
for the next several weeks. It was fun
for the frogs, but just awful for the boy.

Written for the Sentinel.—
Silk, satin and wool skirts are not
trimmed.
Buttons are gaining favor, but only
for decoration.
Ribbons and laces form decoration
for the skirts of cotton dresses.
Daring combinations are effected-in
colors and are sometimes very artistic.
The triple box-plait is again in vogue,
for the French front of basque-waists.
Burnt-Butter is the name given to
an intense yellow much used in millinery.
Real lace veils in cream or light-
ecru, fancifully patterned, are again
In vogue.
Skirts are still very stately, but the
latest designs show much more grace
of outline.
Either rolling, standing or sailor
collars are "appropriate finish for the
neck of shirt waists.
The modish cape is very short, but
what is lacking in length is applied in
tbe way of lavish decoration.
Butterflies of white lace threaded
with gold are let into yokes, sleeve
puffs, full vests or other adjuncts,with
good effect.
A good substitute for the troublesome hat pin is found in the millinery
spring, which may be adjusted under
the crown of a hat. fastening it secure-
ly-to the head without disarranging
the coiffure.
Unlined * skirts of organdy, sateen,:
lawn, gingham and other cotton goods
should be'worn over a haircloth or
Grinoline petticoat, the latter to be
concealed by white silk, cambric or
cotton skirts.
In a model cycling suit the full knickerbockers fall a little below the knee
and the short skirt reaches half way
"between the ankle and knee, but not
down far enough to be iri the way of
the machine; low shoes,-plaid stockings
and a tam '©'shanter cap complete this
stylish costume. '
The new two-seam bishop sleeve is
exceedingly graceful and is suitable for
wrappers or house gowns of any of the
soft materials so much in vogue and
"any style ot cuff, from the gauntlet to
the picturesque pagoda may decorate
the wrist of this pretty sleeve.

SCHOOL NOTES.
Yisitors—Mrs. Thos. Creeper, Miss
Young of Reed City, Messrs. Jas Bicknell, Chas. O'Donald and Ed Sexsmith.
Thursday was a welcome holiday to
the pupils. On account of the intense
heat,very few accompanied the soldiers
to the cemetery.
. During the reading class in the high
school room one day recently, the definition of "hospitable" was asked for
and one of the bright youngsters answered, "it means when a tramp comes
along they get something to eat."
Several of the boys of the high school
have accepted positions to work. Oscar Fishley in Doherty's store, Roy
Lamb in the factory and Clark Giberson in the reading room.
As there are no graduates this year
there will be no commencement exercises, and parents and friends are invited to call at the school the last day
and enjoy the programs for which each
room is now preparing.
One-of the necessaries for the com-
ming year, will be another room fitted
up,as the average in the lower room is
about sixty pupils in a room.
Callers are kindly requested to ask
the teachers' permission to ask' for a
pupil to leave the room and not take
the liberty of calling them out. This
is a matter of courtesy and not of authority.
Second intermediate room has some
very flourishing morning glory plants
decorating the windows.
Parents do you know your child is
not a truant? It would be advisable
to look after this as there is on an
average of nearly twenty truants a*
day from school.
Nettie Miller and Bertie Gaunt are
reported as having stood 100 in all their
examinations.

-"j&I. Quad," the FamousMumorist.
Takes Ms Old Place on The
Free  P.ress
We find great pleasure in. announcing
tO'crar readers that Chas. B. Lewis, the
famous "M. Quad," has resumed his
former place upon The Detrait Free
Press. Since his retirement from The
Free Press four years ago Mr. Lewis
has 'been writing for one of the leading
syndicates. His preference for'-direct
mewspaper work, however, led him to
abandon that con nection, and hereafter
his popular writings will appear ©nly
in The Free Press. Mr. and Mrs. Bowser, Brother Gardner, Arizona Kicker,
Zefe White* Abe Grofbot, Mrs. •G-allmp,
and many sew characters, will appear
regularly.
A Fair Question.
Me. FDiTOm:—I am a tax-payer and
would like to ask in the *» columns of
your highly esteemed paper, where are
some of the otleers qMihis city? Are
they, too, .offi fishing, like Grover? A
few years ago our council assured; us
that if we took down the fence around
our lots, we should be protected. Now
stock rove the streets and when they
are taken to the pound there is'«no one
to be found to take care of them. Shall
our gardens be destroyed, or. will the
M matter be looked into?
Mbs. Hitman.
Reading Room.
.1 wish to remind those who: so en-
thusiasticallyi aided in the establishment of the'reading room, and so generously subscribed to the fund for its
maintenance, that the officers of the
association flad it iust a little •difficult
to keep- it* running nicely.'Without
funds. There is reading matter that
should be found on the tables, and
other necessaries provided, that cannot be without money. The association is doing the very best it can
under the eirerumstanceSj but much
more «ould be done were you -t® come
up with the small amounts subscribed.
You will be not a little surprised, no,
doubt, when I tell you that the
amouat now due and unpaid is about
thirty dollars. Cant you see youj way
clear to at once call at the room and
deposit the amounts due upon your
subscription? If you would do so it
would greatly lighten the burdens of
the association officers. Last month
our committee was compelled to visit
over ninety persons te make the collection. Won't you kindly send us such
-aid that the burdensome task may he
avoided? The board oi directors hawe
a meeting at my office next Monday
evening to consider, among other
things, the financial situation; so
please bear us in mind, aad don't fail
to call at the room with- your money
before that time, that we may find our
treasury in such condition that wilj
warrant renewed effort.
Yery Respectfully Yours,
Jobds" G-ibehson;, President.
