THE GARY DECISION The Gary decision, coming at this time, will be a ereat relief to the temperance forces in their fight against the saloons. In many places the people are resorting to remonstrances again as they did a f ew years ago because that was the only way open to them. It is said that Milford, which recently voted dry under exasperating conditions, a remonstrance hoc been signed by a sweeping majcj fnd that no saloons will be all jd to come into the town. The same thing is being done at Pierceton. Some of the people of South Bend exasperat ed by the recent action of the city council in refusing to raise the liquor license, are on the point of remonstratng the -saloon out' of certain wards of that city. Nov, it will be when these remonstrances arc considerd by the eounty commissioners that the recent decision of the supreme court on the Gary case will come in so well. Heretofore the remonstrants were compelled to prove that every name on the remonstrance was good, if the applicant for liquor license declared under oath that they were not l.'gal voters. . Such foolishness will be renembered by many in nearly every township in Marshall county. It made the signing of a remontrance not only a disagreeable thing to do from both business and social viewpoints, but expensive when the signer had to make several trips to the county seat to prove m court that he was a legal voter at the time he signed. Under the new decision, it will be necessary for the applicant for license to say in what particular John Smith or Jim Perkins are not legal voters, or else allow their name3 to &tand on the remonstrance as good without any further trouble on their part than signing the paper it was presented. wh!n THE BUSINESS MEN It was stated in the Democrat that the Second ward, where most of the business men of Plymouth live,, was the one which went so heavily for sa loons in Plymouth. The intention of the article was to show that the business men of the city were very strongly for the saloons. Such a statement and inference is both untrue and unfair to the business men of Plymouth. There are no more of them in the Second than in either the other wards. It cannot be shown in any way that our business men had any more part in deciding the election than any. other class of citizens, and this unwelcome burden should not be charged up against them. As a matter of fact it was the purchased vote that decided the case foi the saloons rather than that of any other particular class of our people. NORTH TOWNSHIP.

DEATHS

Former Resident Dead. After an illness of almost a year, Charles J. Hupp, for 35 years a resident of Detroit, Mich., and an employee of the Michigan Central railway, father of R. C. Hupp the motor car manufacturer, died at his home March 29, 1911. Mr. Hupp married Miss Anna M. Klinger, daughter of J. B. N. Klinger of Plymouth, and is a cousin of Alice Klinger of this city. He visited here about a year ago. Mr. Hupp was born in Salem, Va., July 18, 1845. At the breaking out of the civil war, he took the side of the south and served in a confederate cavalry regiment throughout the war. After the war Mr. Hupp moved to Plymouth, Ind., where he entered in his long railroad career in the employ of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago railway. In 1870 he was moved to Kalamazoo, as agent for the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad Six years later he went to Grand Rapids as general freight agent of the Michigan Central railroad. In 1883 he was promoted to the position of assistant general freight agent for the Grand Trunk railway at Detroit, which position he held for nearly a quarter of a century. Mr. Hupp leaves a widow and four children, three sons and a daughter. The eldest son, George C. Hupp is manager of his father's farm at Birmingham, Mich. Another son, L. G. Hupp, is manager of the Hupp-Turn-er Co., of this city, and the youngest R. C. Hupp is general manager of the Hupp Motor Car Co. The daughter Mrs. C. S. Briggs, is the wife of the general manager of the Brush Motor Car Co. Mrs. Hupp formerly was Mrs. Emma Sly Blanding, of Birmingham, Mich. She and Mr. Hupp had been traveling in the south during the past year. Samuel Casper. Samuel Casper, one of the best known and most respected farmers of the county, died at his home about six miles northeast of Plymouth Tuesday April 4, after a long illness with Bright 's disease. He was 66 years old on January 19. Mr. Casper came to Marshall county in 1864 and has made his home here ever since almost entirely in the neighborhood where he lives. He was married in Plymouth and his good wife still survives him. The children are: Ed and Will of South Bend, Charles of Battle Creek, Mich., Jacob of North township, Frand and Fred of Center township, Mrs. Fred Suter of Bremen and Miss Minnie who is still at home.

Mrs. Rudolph Keller Theckla, wife of Rudolph Keller, died at her home on north Walnut street last night at 6:30 o'clock, after an illness lasting more than a year.

She and Mr. Keller came to the United States in 1862 and were married at Woodbourne, N. Y., the same year. They came to Plymouth in 1867 and have made this their home ever since. Mrs. Keller was a member of the Catholic church, a good mother and a good woman in every respect, and the memory of her will last long among all who knew her.

The remarkable habits of the harvester ant have long been known to naturalists. Certain species not only harvest and store in granaries the seeds upon which they feed but accually plant and cultivate an annual crop of their food seeds. But now a still more wonderful story is told of an ant which is common in Dalmatia, Messor barbarus. According to Professor Neger of the well known forestry school near Dresden, this ant not only cuts leaves and gathers seeds but actually makes bread or biscuit. The seeds are first sprouted, then carried into the sun and dried, then taken back to the underground chambers, where they are chewed into dough. The dough is then finally made into tiny cakes, which are baked in the sun, then carefully stored for future use. From these observations it appears that the art of cookery is not wholly confined to the human race. All cooking is done by the sun, whether in the ripening of fruit or in the baking of bread in a stove. The heat obtained from fuel is simply stored up sunlight set free. The Arab and the native Mexican speak of ripe fruit as fruit which has been cooked in the sun. The ant has somehow learned the art of sun cookery, the saliva with which it moistens the grain probably taking the place of yeast and sweetening through changes set up by its influence upon starch.---American Medicine.The Scientific Butler. , Science in its more awful forms is not confined to schoolboy howlers. One of the witty Canon Ainger's stories---quoted in Mr. E. V. Lucas' delightful anthology of letters, entitled "The Second Post"---proves it At a country house party a maid was dressing a guest's hair. "I hope, Parker," said the lady, "you are comfortable in your place?" "Oh, yes, ma'am," the maid replied, with great warmth. "The society down stairs is so superior. The butler leads the conversation. "He is a refined man," she continued, with rising enthusiasm. "Indeed, quite scientific. He has been telling us all about evolution, and we quite understand it now. "He says," the maid concluded, earnestly, "that we are all descended from Darwin."---Youth's Companion. Question Pertinent. Doctor Scott, joint parent with Liddell of the well-known Greek Lexicon, was at one time master of Baliol college, Oxford university and master at all times of quiet sarcasm. A noble lord who had rooms in the buildings which adjoined the master's house and who, contrary to regulations, kept a dog in college, went to complain of the noise made by cats. After he had expatiated for some little time on this grievance, Doctor Scott said, with the gentle, slow, drawl which lent additional force to his sallies: "Is that a cat, Lord Donoughmore, that I hear barking on your staircase every night?"

VALUE OF A STRONG MEMORY 6 me Who Possets It Are Not Otherwise Above the Ordinary Children Learn Readily. While a strong memory is a great convenience, it is not necessarily an advantage. Cardinal Mezzof&ntl, whosQ memory for words was so retentive that he never forgot one after hearing it once, and which enabled him to acquire more than a hundred languages, was in most respects a very ordinary person. Pliny relates that Mlthridates, king of Pontus, had so excellent a memory that he was able to speak fluently 22 languages native to the provinces of his vast empire. 'Yet he was a cruel barbarian. v A well-known peripatetic elocutionist and reciter still living declares that he can repeat, 'without further preparation, about 3,000 selections in prose and poetry. He probably tells the truth, since he has been training his mind in this particular direction for many years. On the other hand, such men as Sir Walter Scott, Macaulay, and Gladstone were not only possessors of excellent memories, they were also men of good Judgment. Among human beings children have the most remarkable memories. .Under favorable circumstances they will learn three and even four languages, so as to be able to express tleir thoughts with equal ease in any one of .them by the time they are six or seven years of age. And they accomplish this remarkable feat without any aid from the mnemonic devices to which adults are compelled to resort when they undertake a Fimilar task. They, learn words and phrases unconsciously, and rarely forget them as long as they live- On the other hand, grown-ups rarely acquire accurate pronunciation of a foreign language, although they may be able to use it with entire correctness. it is a common belief that the memory is more tenacious in early life than in later years. That seems to depend almost entirely on the individual. EXPERIMENTS WITH SOUND Blowing Out Candle With Tuning Fork and Resonator Sand Figures on Metal Plates. Reporting a physics lecture by Prof. Bylvfrmius P. Thompson, the London Chronicle says: "The youngsters who attended were shown how a candle could be blown out by sound. Ia the first place, you want a very powerful tuning fork and a resonator (a hollow sphere of brass), which is exactly In harmony wit,h It. When the tuning fork is struck it sets up waves , of sound. The resonator, hearing the note, immediately responds with sympathetic waves, which are strong enough to blow out a candle placed behind It Other experiments were the forming of what are known as Chladni sand figures on plates of metal by the influence of sound. The most beautiful results, as Professor Thompson explained, are obtained with flat plates of brass of uniform thickness and of a low note. When a bow is drawn along the edge so as to set up vibrations in one part, there Is discord with the vibrations of the other parts, and the sound Immediately assumes geometrical figures. The greater the discord the better the patterns. Hundreds of patterns can be produced - in this way on one plate. Many demonstrations were made to show how, when things are tuned to the same note, they vibrated in sympathy. A big tuning fork was struck and then stopped but another tuning fork, which was of exactly the same pitch, went on humming, though it had not been touched." ' Foclhardy Snake Kerper. . The only fatal case of snake bite on record In the London Zoological gardens was directly due to the foolishness of the victim. He was in. charge of the snakes, and coming In cno morning with some friends-began to boast of his power over the creatures and the extent to which they would submit to be played with by one whom they knew. This led to practical experiments, the overconfident keeper taking an Indian cobra from its comfortable sleeping place., and declaring he was a snake charmer , proceeded to swlug it about his head and play other tricks with it. A native snake chanper would have known there was no more certain way to rouse the snake's temper than this, Ter the race abhors roush handiins or sudden movement of any sort. The Tesult of the exploit was that the keeper was bitten on the nose. He was hurried off to the hospital, but died In a few hour-

O. CLOSED FOR BENEFIT OF HELP IS LITTLE OBJECTION Hour of Closing the Delivery Window May Also Be Changed from Eight To Seven O'clock at Night. Pursuant to a letter from the Assistant Postmaster general, postmasbusiness men of the city regarding closing of the carrier windows of the post office on Sundays. Mr. Steiner stated that nine-tenths of these spoken to about it favored the Sunday closing. If the general feeling is the same all over, the order of the Department will go into effect next Sunday. It will be understood that the order does not mean the absolute closing of the postoffice on Sundays. The general delivery window will be open as usual, to accomodate the traveling public and local customers but the carriers' windows will be closed, thus giving them Sunday as a rest day. The remainder of the force will have the same hours they have had, taking turns off. Mail will be distributed to the boxes the same as before so that those who have boxes may get their mail on Sunday if they wish. Another change which Mr. Steiner is anxious to bring about is the closing of the general delivery window at seven o'clock in the evening instead of at eight as now. He says that elsewhere the delivery window is closed at six, but that here we have been in the habit of holding it open until eight. This makes twelve hours a day service for the clerks and sometimes more. Mr. Steiner wants to shorten these hours to ten if possible; as he thinks that is long enough for a man to work.
