The bride is one of Clare's popular
young ladies, having made her home

The Spectator.
I once knew three fine looking
young fellows hut they were lawless,
careless and lacked all the elements of
success. I couldn't understand why
they should be thus but one day 1 happened into their home and it all became clear. There was still a small
boy at home and the fither took no
pare in the boy's training and watching thereafter the growth of the boy
I saw the boy by the unconcious training of easy-going parents grow to be
just what his brothers were. How
many mothers have the habit of .nagging half a dozen times at their children before they expect the child to do
the required thing.
In a town hot far from Olare there
was to be a Fourth of July celebration.
Most of the money had been subscribed by the sporting and business
elements of the town. The church
people were raving about order and law
enforcement, but on the eve of the celebration's they erected a number of
booths for serviDg refreshments on tbe
morrow. The wet goods merchants
perceiving tbis asserted that of all
the audacity eyer witnessed it beat all
to see those, who called themselves
saints, actually take money out of a
thing to which they, as churches, had
not contributed a red cent. The
crowds came, everybody made money.
There was room for all. Wot another
unkind word was said. Truly money
harmonizes the discordant elements
and fulfills thescrlptualpassage"—."
Mrs. Jones asked "Mrs. Smith the
other day what was the, best thing to
do with her daughter, Rebecca. Said
she "Rebecca is fifteen and wants to
go to scbool but 1 want her to gb to
a business college so that she may be
able to earn some money Dy the time
she is seventeen. She talks about
wanting an edication so that she can
know something and be a useful woman by and by. But that's all bosh,
Let her learn how to get some money,
then dress up pretty well and get
married. That's the way I did."
airs. Smith assented and Rebecca's
fate Is sealed.
Most people go to the lake-side br
sea-side for summer recreation but in
one of the hustllpg towns of central
Michigan they have a new wrinkle.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry in that
town has a farm a few miles out and
when his nerves get all over done with
the excitement and business worry of
city life he betakes himself to his farm
where in honest toil on the soil he
gathers in the ducats and soothes his
over taxed nerves in contemplation of
cattle raising aud other mysteries of
scientific farming.

THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.
The Most Complete Production Of
This World Renown And
Beautiful Subject Ever
Created
Pain's newest representation shows
the Ancient city with its streets, Temples, Amphitheatres, Arches and statuary, covering as it does, over 10,000
square yards of painting upon wood,
iron and canvas, from designs taken
on the spot, and the great subject
containing real buildings from twenty
to thirty feet in heighth, the entire
work being over 300 feet long and covering a great area. Vesuvius towers
above in the distance; and it requires
no imagination for tbe auditor to
realize that he is viewing the Original
Oity. The streets are filled with citizens, ancient senators, ambassadors,
vestal virgins, * Praetorian guards,
dancing girls, slaves, hostages, cohorts
of foreign soldiers, gladiators just as
they existed centuries ago. All the
sports of the Roman Amphitheatre
including racest wrestling, fencing,
gladitorial combats, splendid acrobatic
acts, the celebrated Golden Pony Ballet, and the wonderful Fire Dance and
the Electric Fountain Ballet, reproduction of the solemn processions,
grand marches and drills bf the Praetorian Guards, are faithfully snowh',
depicting scenes of the Pompeian
fetes, the terrible eruptions and earthquakes that follow and the total destruction Of the city; the air filled
witb flying flames and balls of flre and
tbe burning lava running througb the
streets in torrents, spreading* 3es<M>~
