?MANNERS OUTSIDE THE NAVY.
Old Sea Dojrs Have   Little   Respect   for
land Ivubbor's Ways.
From "On a Man-of-War:" "The ordinary seaman's respect for rank and
station when not connected with his
beloved vessel is decidedly meager.
"When the president of the "United
States visits one of our men-of-war he
is received at the gangway hy the admiral, commanding officer, and all of
the officers of the ship, in full uniform,
the crew at quarters for inspection, tha
marine guard drawn up with the band
on the quarter deck, the national flag
is displayed at the main, the drummer
gives four ruffles, the band plays the
national air, and a salute of twenty-
one guns is "fired. The same ceremony
also takes place on his leaving. On
one occasion the president visited one
of the ships informally, dispensing with
the salute and ceremony, when one of
the men rather indignantly asked another who that lubber was on the
quarterdeck that didn't "douse hia
peak" to the commodore. "Choke your
luff, will you," was the reply, "that's
Che president of the United States."
"Well! ain't he got manners enough
to salute the quarterdeck if he is?"
"Manners! What does he know about
manners? I don't suppose he was
ever out of sight of land in his life."
Is It Best   To Tell Your
Troubles?
Joseph McGibney, a night watch of
Kalamazoo, has had trouble for eight
years. Now that he is practically freed
therefrom , he proposes to reveal the
facts to his neighbors.. Meetiug a
prominent druggist last week, whose
name we withold for the present, he
said,"Ihave had dyspepsia and nerve
tpoubles fqr^eight years, and have tried
many'ppepara'vjfios advertised for their
cure, witti up satisfaction. Recently I
procured a package of Drake's Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer, have had
it only two weeks and am thankful that
my affliction isa thing- of the past.
Good, sound sleep is something I have
not had for some time previous to my
using treatment. I cau safely recommend it to any person afflicted with
stomach or nerve troubles." There is
only one place in Saline where you pan
get this preparation; O. P. Unterkircher, the leading druggist. This
is the only preparation, for stomach
apt} nerve troubles that is sold strictly
upon its merits. A package will convince the most skeptical. A book on
gtomach and nerve troubles; their symp«
toras and their cures, given free for
tbe asking at the above store.
Commencement!
Another year's school days have passed into history. The old familiar .tone
of the school bell will not be heard for
a time. Many of the pupils will enjoy
a rest while some will be kept busy
until the fail term opens. The class
of 98 will many times in their future,
look back to their school days at Saline
with pleasure, and theu fully realize
that they were their happiest days,
when their cares and troubles were
not known and where they were
enjoying pleasures never to be repeated.
A Recitation, "The Ride of Jennie
M cNeal" was next of the literary program. This poem so full of pathos and
heroism, and so difficult to render
with full effect, was splendidly given
by Matilde A. Blaess.
Jeanetla M. Moore gave as her graduating "Ess; - "Ambition the Power
behind the T¥rone." Ia clear, well
moderated voice Nettie gave a logical,
well balanced production on this essential element .of success.
Class History
No matter however well r,he rest of
the program may be rendered, special
interest always centers around the
Class History.

Commencement day was one of per -
fectness, it blossomed out in the morning with a bright sun and so continued
through tbe day, yet tbe air was not
hot, but balmy and refreshing.
The regular promotion exercises
which were in the chapel at 9:30 were
largely attended and very interestin g.
The speaking- was good, selections fine
and decorations most appropriate, and
all passed off to the satisfaction   of all.
The different classes promoted were
fully as: large as.usual, and passed their
examinations with good standing.
Commencement proper took place- in
the opera house Thursday evening.ahd
as usual drew a crowded house. Long
before time for the exercises to commence, the seats were nearly all filled
with eager and anxious listeners.
The stage presented as neat an appearance as had ever been presented on
similar ocoasions. It was draped from
floor to ceiling with the class colors,
pale blue and white, bearing the class
motto, "Success Awaits at Labor's
Gate," across the center.
A male quartet from Ann Arbor
furnished the music, which was very
good, and judging from the number
of times they were encored, their
work was appreciated.
After invocation by Rev. D. Q. Barry,
the graduating class introduced their
part of the program with the
Salutatory, by
Aileen S. Sears. Aileen has a clear
full voice which was easily heard
throughout the hall, and this quality
of distinctness was noticeable and
pleasingly predouiioant among the entire class. She welcomed the friends
on behalf of the class of C9S, and gave.a
metaphorical description of the labors
and success of the class thoughout the
course.
Clara li. Sturm rendered, a pleasing
Recitation—Claudius and Cynthia. It
is unnecessary to give the theme of
the recitation, butit is -true to say
that Clara was master, both of the
thought and the rendering of the
piece.
Earl T. Fosdick then gave the audience a thoroughly practical Oration,
on"The Referendum, or Direct Legis-'
lation.
While we have undoubtedly one of
the best systems of government in the
world, it is well for us to see what other
nations are doing. The power of money
and political favoritism, often thwarts
the will of the people and Earl believes
and gave excellent   reasons   for his
position, that the acts of the legislative
body should be referred back to  the
people for approval.
chronicle the doings(and mis-doings)
of her class-mates, and we judge from
the effect on the various members of •
the class and the audienoe, that her
task was faithfully dona. None escaped some sharp thought, and no one
could feel slighted, or that he was
prodded more than his unfortunate
class-mates.
Luther M. Briggs renderel" Apos -
trophe to the Ocean." This exceedingly difficult style of declamation
Wits well handled. Luther can .congratulate himself on his rendition of
the piece.
As if to enforce the class history
cause the

Murtella A. North. Prophecying is
a difficult task, Pew indeed have the
gift. But believing, we judge, the Prop

she found the future of ber classmates
mirrored in their school life. The
many thrusts of the prophetess were
pleasantly received by both classmates
teachei and audience. This paper
was a clever piece of work throughout.
For exellency of scholarship in the
high school course, F. Ethel Taggart
was chosen to give the Valedictory.
Her production'was a well studied,
well developed literary effort and
proved full well Ethel's, right to the
title of Valedictorian.-
The Alumni gathering and banquet
at the same hall Friday evening was
one of the most pleasant, and perfect
since the organization. The social
part renewed many old pleasures and
the program and banquet were all that
could be asked for, anc", it was passed
the hour of midnight before the crowd
turned in tbe good alarm.
