Henry Ranfranz says news is scarce, tion Thursday and Friday: but business is fairly good, and will be better if this tropical weather ever passes away andcolder days suggest the comforts of winter wear. Henry sells men’s clothing and furnishings, and hence the delightfully pleasant weather that has thus far prevailed is not calculated to sell heavy wear- ing apparel- But he acknowledges, his customers seem to like it.

War is horrible. The world can, nev4 er be called civilized as long as. the jhorrors of war continue and dark- en the Jand and destroy homes. Na- tions should settle disputes in some other manmer. As long as disputes and quarrels are settled by war, the world cannot be called civilized Thee burden of war falls heav- iest on the poorer people—the greal. legs. Andy is glad that the result wes mo worse- After spending a month visiiting with friends in Grand Rapids, Mr. an Mrs. George L. Dewey accompanied by Miss Blamche Dewey, will return, to Morse, Sask., Canada, tomrorow, Mr. Dewey is engaged in the retail jumber business and according to report, he is getting rich. However,, it was very noticeable that both Mr. and Mrs. Dewey looked much better after their month’s visiit in Itasca county. In fact, George took on sev- eral pounds of good United States meat while here. With the rapid settlement of that section and good crops, the opportunity, to make mon- ey is now to be had and when has made hip pile, we expect to see ‘him again a resident of Grand Rapid * mass of common people. It is the common people who do the fighting. It is the common people, who at the dictation of the richer and ruling class, who never mingle in the smoke and fire of battle; it is the common people, the working man in uniform, who rushes forth to the field of battle, and given the right and a weapon, muméer his fellowmen. And when the heads or rulers of countries get together, hold a con- ference amd sign a treaty of peace, ‘the war is over and the poor soldiers are givem a small pension and sent home ruined and cripppled. But there are some exceptions. There have been times when war was mecesssary, for example the Rvolu- tionary war.

These Queer Creatures Are Linked With the Mermaid Myth, In semitropical waters of America there disports a niember of that family of aquatic mammals to wh@h has been ascribed the mermaid myth. Related to the dugong and the now extinct rhytina, we still have the manatee. This name is preferred by some te manati, under the impression that the latter is the plural of the Latin “mana- tus” (furnished with hands), though the name is probably of Mandingo ori- gin. The manatee is a herbivorous mam- mal inhabiting the shallows about the coasts of Florida, Mexico, central America and the West Indies. It is not known to attempt the open sea and does not possess the ability to come ashore. This animal is somewhat whalelike in shape, with a horizonta! tail fin. It is from eight to twelve feet in length, the body being scantily cov- ered with hair. The only limbs are the fore flippers, low on the side of the body. This flipper has no fingers. It does possess, though, three flat nails and has a free motion in all directions from the shoulder. The elbow and wrist approximate the human anato- my in movement. With this crude re- semblance to an arm the manatee has been said to carry its young. While the statement is not authentic, it is quite believable, its possibility being vouched for by all observers of the arm in motion. The head of the manatee is divided from the body by a slight indication of neck. The upper lip is extraordi- narily fiexible—so much so that each side can protrude independently of the other, and, thus separated into two lobes, the upper lip can perform the complete operation of grasping food and conveying it into the mouth. In each jaw are twenty pairs of two ridged teeth. With this formidable equipment the manatee is not, how- ever, ferocious, but browses tranquilly on the water plants of its habitat. In some views the head is surprisingly manlike, though far from beautiful, and no specimen has ever sat on the rocks and combed its golden hair.— Harper's. ELECTION STRATEGY. Incident of an Old Time English Par- liamentary Contest. In the days before the institution of the secret ballot, when the candidate with the longest purse usually won an election, a former Lord Dundonald, who refused to give bribes, contested Honiton, but was beaten by an oppo- nent who paid his electors at the rate of £5 a vote. Then the unsuccessful candidate conceived this brilliant plan, says the writer of a history of the Dundonald family. He announced to his friends that he was quite determined to win the seat next time without bribery. ‘Then he sent the town crier round the town to announce that all who had voted for him in this first election might repair to his agent, from whom they would receive £10. As comparatively few people had voted for him, this was not a very ex- pensive process. And at the next elec- tion Lord Dundonald was elected by an enormous majority. After the tri- umph several people came to him and delicately suggested that some reward was due to such loyalty. “Not a farthing,” was the reply. “But, my lord, you gave £10 a head to the minority at the last election, and the majority have been counting on something handsome on this occasion.” “Perhaps so,” said the clever candi- date. “My former gift was for their disinterested conduct in not taking my opponent’s bribe of £5. For me to pay them now would be to violate my own principles.”—Pearson’s Weekly. Thermometer and Gulf Stream. Investigators have observed that the thermometer is not necessarily a-sure indication of the gulf stream; that the strongest current does not necessarily coincide with the highest temperature. The warmth of the water only indi- cates its tropical origin, and it may or may not be accompanied by a cur- rent. Thus the warmest water off Cape Hatteras is the result of a very gentle flow coming from the trade wind region outside the West Indies. The gulf stream itself is between this warmer water and the 100 fathom eurve.—Shipping Illustrated. Against Speculation. The head of a big trust said at a din- ner in Boston: “I have always been against specula- tion. To try to get rich by stock fluc- tuations instead of by honest work for the common good is to be an undesir- able citizen. “Besides, these fluctuating invest- ments are very risky and uncertain. It’s a wise stock, you see, that knows its own par.”—Exchange. Wise Provision. “Bliggins says he has the smartest youngster in the world.” “Of course,” answered Mr. Growcher. “Every parent feels that way, and a wise provision of nature. In human being’s life there ought a time when somebody thinks smart.”—Washington Star. 745 s s GRAND MILLINERY The latest and best inLadids’,Mis- ses and Children’s trimmer who knews her business.
