Charlevoix ounty Herald G. A. L1SIC, l'uL'.iflter. JCAST JORDAN, MIC1IIQAN iTOO MUCH FOR THE LAWYEF Mow a Michigan Congressman, Testi fying as Lumber Expert, Silenced the Noisy Attorney. There Is a certain representative in tcongresa from Michigan who was once summoned as a witness In a case being tried in Saginaw, the summons being based on his expert knowledge of the lumber business. It appears that the whole case hinged on whether or not merchantable lumber had been sup plied a certain firm, as set forth In its contract with the party of the sec ond part. Representing the opposition there appeared a very vociferous lawyei who made up In noise what ho lacked in argument. Ho would shout and roar and pound the table in front of him like an auctioneer. ' "What," demanded the counsel in stentorian tones of tho witness, "what do you regard lire merchantable lumber?" "Ijumber that may be sold at a profit," replied the imperturbable wit ness. The lawyer pounded the table again, strutting about, shouting a good deal more, and finally came back at the witness in this wise: "And what, sir, would you regard as merchantable grain?" "I don't know anything about grain." "Ah, you don't, you don't, eh? Well, then, what about merchantable fruit?" "Nor fruit. I am a lumberman." "Come, now, my dear sir. As to Blabs and culls should you say that they were merchantable?" "They are products of the mills." "Oh, ho!" fairly yelled this law yer this time. "Can you tell the honor able court whether you have any ideas at all about any kind of merchantable goods?" "Oh, yes," replied the redoubtable witness. "A lawyer, for example, who tries hl case with his brains I should call him a merchantable law per; but the one who tries his case with his mouth and his hands and feet, I should call him a cull!" That closed the cross-examination.- The Green Bag. Reunited in Strange Way. While a scene in a play was being reproduced at a cinematograph the ater at St. Petersburg the other day, a peasant and his wife in the audience recognized an actress in the scene as their long-lost daughter. The woman swooned, and her husband, shouting "My daughter!" tried to force his way behind the stage, expecting to find his daughter there. To convince him that his daughter was not there, the manager had the curtain drawn tip. Then ringing up the firm from whom he had the .film, the manager was informed that the actress was there and would set out for the the ater at once. Soon after this informa tion had been given to the audience u cab drove up with the actress, and parents and daughter had an affection ate meeting. Makes Pet of Bantam. Fashions in pets among society women are becoming as changeable as fashions in hats. A lady who has been seen on several occasions in the streets of London with a pretty little black bantam nestled in her arms, entered a West-end restaurant recently with her pet. While his mistress removed her gloves and sables the bird was perched upon her knee and was after ward fed from the lady's hand with augar crumbs. While at home the bantam Is permitted to hop about the table, but in the restaurant his man ners were beyond reproach. Lottery Prizes Bring Joy. The two great prizes of the Spanish Christmas lottery, amounting to 200,000 and $1,000,000 respectively, have been won by workmen. The first winning ticket was sold at Barcelona, and according to custom was divided into several shares among several owners. Ten parts of the ticket were bought by persons living as far away as Marseilles, and they will all share In the munificence of Fortune. The second prize ticket for $1,000,000 was bought by a factory proprietor, at Mauresa, In Catalonia, and distribu ted among the workmen, who are over Joyed. Swindled Again.

P"""-"1 0 MUCH depends upon tho individual's inclination that the I (S I question of eating cannot be settled by a mere yes or no reply I 1 nor indeed by the experience of any number of individuals, that is to say, so far as regards tho feeding of the thousands who are accustomed to eating thrco limes a day and would not tako kindly to tho proposed change. Kating, like every other natural function, should bo a pleasure and not a pen ance, and tho average person would regard it as a punishment to omit any one of his regular meals, and hence the enforce ment of the regimen would not lead to good results. In my private practice I favor the threc-mcal plan, but always with the qualification that in case of lack of appetite, or in face of any actual illness, the meal or meals should bo omitted until convalescence, and the return of normal hunger. Personally, I cat three or four times a day with pleasure and satisfaction, and without experiencing any sort of inconven ience, day in and day out, and year after year. I lake breakfast at a hotel about eleven o'clock, and am apt to lunch there about three. Pinner at home about seven (if I get there), and by "leaving a place," or need for it, I find a moderate supper at ten to twelve sends me to bed to sleep like a wcll-nurscd babe. It remains to be said, however, in this connection, that whoever has already had a sufficient day's ration at any hour of the day, cannot 'with safety or ultimate satisfaction eat again on going to bed. But, rightly managed (meaning moderate meals of really wholesome food), nothing fits anyone, from the bottle-babe to th octogenarian, for good sleep and a fresh awakening, like a moderate supper on retiring. All animal kind naturally sleep after eating. "We should never eat when tired, nor get tired shortly after eating, on penalty of great risk from an attack of indi gestion. In my treatise, "Practical Guide to Health," published some years ago, occurs the following on diet, appetite, etc.: "Learn to distinguish between hunger and mere appetency: you may have tho latter without hunger, but not hunger without appetite. Never oat without an appetite never a mouthful. It is a species of self-abuse whicch is inexcusable for Bick or well. There is no pleasure in it, and it prevents the speedy-return of a normal appetite. This does not mean, however, that one must wait till ravenously hungry by any means; we should General Grant Knew How to Fight By Fonder United States Senator! William E. Masoa sel, while neglecting the fight duo their own client I have known mer chants so busy quarreling with competitors as to neglect their own busi ness. I have read of soldiers who were strong on dress parade, splendid in tactics and communications and orderly in retreat. Tho greatest soldier of all history was Grant and ho could fight with out quarreling. He "demanded" things and the Ihings he "demanded" were "immediate and unconditional surrender." "When the demand was complied with there was neither bickering, scolding nor quarreling. He fed the starving enemy and gave them bad: their horses to cultivate their fields. Nor was Grant the only great man there. General Leo knew how to liglit, but not to quarrel, lie was great in defeat, and securing the best he could for his men, he surrendered, without quarreling with his foe or cursing his enemy. The field whereon Grant and Leo met on that day was in the highest sense tho ''Temple of Liberty." Thank God, the jingle of gold was not heard there, nor was the place desecrated by jangling words or petty disputes. This is what is meant by "Blessed is he who can fight without quarreling."

The system should always be kept fairly well saturated, so to say, with nutriment; but this should never be carried to the point of incipient nausea by any means. If the rule be rightly interpreted, this is about the way to put it: Eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty and go to bed when you are sleepy; that is, never wait till you are exhausted for want of food, drink or nervous repose. Better eat too much than too little, habitually; but enough is better and, in the long run, more agreeable than excess." I have known one man to hate another man because of the color of his hair. An other one said to me: 'T hate a man who parts his hair that waj" Another one said to me of a very good man: "I can't like him, he cats with his knife." I knew a preacher, who was a great theologian and thought, his theology was religion, who couldn't help quarreling with everyone he met of a different theology.

SHOE AND GLOVE FASHIONS! Black and White Is the Combination for Both Articles of Apparel Just Now. Entirely aside from this question of mourning every one knows that the combination of black and white is be ing featured this season more than usual. Still it Is a surprise to most fashion observers to discover that even the realm of shoes is beginning to show this combination. Some of the smartest of the new kid low-cut shoes have white uppers, but shiny black heels and a mere line of black kid about the top. An ultra smart model has the vamp of soft-finish black and the uppers side and back of white. Black buttons on high white shoes replace the pretty crystal buttons in some instances. Black bows are favor ed on all white shoes of the "pump" or low Oxford type. The black heel will be seen on some of the white canvas and buck skin shoes in place cf the tan or white covered heel. Black stockings may be worn with white shoes, or white stockings with black ones. Gloves show the same Inevitable combination. Some long gloves of white kid have narrow diamond shaped insets of black near the el bow, and long black gloves reverse this order by having Insets of white. FRINGE OF STRAW. .-OS The hat In the drawing is one of the new things. Cut away from the front, It flares wider and wider at the back, like a longshoreman's sou'wester, or a fireman's oilskin. This hat Is made of chip in natural color with a wide band of velvet which is edged top and bottom with straw fringe. . Tendency In Skirts. The skirts to sulta are frequently made with a tunic effect, or a side trimming, says the Dry Goods Econo mist. ' Sometimes both sides are trimmed, while In others only the left side. The slashed effect, with simulat ed uuderpettlcoat, is also excellent, and frequently the slashing Is made with an underskirt of self material, but laid In Inverted plaits so aa to give a little more fullness In walking. While there seems to be a slight ten dency toward a little more fullness In the skirts, tho general effect Is one of narrowness, and buyers are still ask ing for skirts that measure from two to two and one-half yards. Pat" Hat SPRING STYLES ALREADY OUT Becoming Design In New Linen and Lingerie Dresses for the Young Girl. The new linen and lingerie dresses for little girls are exceptionally at tractive. The Russian style prevails and more color than usual is allowed colored embroidery where colored fabrics are not desired. A smart little frock is in heavy nat ural linen made in Russian style with a single embroidered revers. A Russian blouse dress of pink linen has scalloped edges worked in white and a belt of deep rose-colored velvet ribbon. A quaint little dress in pink linen is made on empire linen and is trim med with white. Over the shoulder is elung, on long white cords, a small bag of the pink linen with allover braiding in white a charming copy in miniature of the cordelier of the small girl's mother. When mother goes south the small daughter must accompany her, and be equipped for the change in climate as well. Accordingly there are already being shown new styles in parasols for the little one to carry under the southern sun. As might be expected, most of the parasols for children are bordered, like those of their mothers. There are pink and blue scalloped silk flounces on linen and pongee models, plaid or check borders on plain silk, lucked borders, and even dresden bor dering ou a dainty parasol for dressy occasions. NEW FEATURES ARE MARKED Gowns cf Parisian Cut Are Especially Distinctive Swagger Costume in Combination. An unusual tailored gown of fine white French serge has a panel all the way down the front of cross-tucked serge. Peeping from under each tuck is seen the long half of a pearl button, making it look as though the long row of buttons was but half pushed through so many buttonholes. The gown is completed by a big sailor collar of Irish linen. A "coat" of lace or chiffon Is a fea--ture of winter gowns. On one gown of white net the coat is of geranium colored chiffon, open over each hip. All-over embroidery and filet inser tion form the "coat" proper for a lingerie model. This may be bought separately as a blouse to be worn with lingerie or linen skirt. A swagger gown of heavy natural rough crash Is made up In combina tion with chamois taffeta, and is braided in whito. The rough linen opens at both sides, not only in tho usual slash toward the foot, but also in a silt at the hip, showing the taffeta as though it were a petticoat. The girdle and a piping at the cuffs are also of taffeta, which Is a delicate blue and green changeable tone. Let the Hair Show. Don't make the mistake that many do of putting their hats down over their foreheads without letting a lock of hair show. It Is really necessary to have the hair arranged around the face to soften the features as well as the line between the hat and forehead.
