Could wake  the  envy  of  Smiths  whenever 

“I ’ll hire an even three  hundred, a t ten per 

cent, for three years,

And cancel the  same  with  the  sale  of  the 

hogs and the crops and the steers.”'

Such was the way  th at  I  reasoned—this the 

way I  came out :

I  mortgaged  the  farm   and was  soon  in   the 

small end of the spout.

I got three hundred  of  Jones,  the  carriage

Reckon ’twas the handsomest thing that ever 

Reckon my neighbors looked glum as me and 

And many an  envious  look,  unconsciously 

came to the town,

Susan rode past,

on us they cast.

And something in town every day, by habit, 

was needin’ us there,

And nothin’ at home but we  left  with.a dis­

interested person for care;

And the more th at we saw of  the  town, the 

more of its fashions  we bought,

And, tryin’ to keep up the show, got  a great 

deal more than we ought.

We noticed th at we needed new clothes, of a 

rich and  costlier stuff—

W hat suited first-rate on  the  farm   in town 

was despicably rough;

We noticed th at things in  the  house, which 

before had answered quite well.

To  study  on  w hat  was  the  best  to  make 

things even out right.

As ’tw ixt Labor and Work, in the race, Work

Yes, sir;  I once owned a hoss  and  can  give

“REVENGE  IS  SW EET.”

W ritten Especially fo r Th e Tradesm an.

“I listened to one of the saddest and most 
heart-rending stories it was  ever  my  lot to 
hear, last week,” said an old friend  to  me 
the other day,  as together we were  making 
a short trip—he on his regular  route  and I 
happening to have  business in the same di­
rection.

“It was down in Macomb county, at a lit­
tle  place  called  Utica. 
I got in there late 
on Saturday night and,  of  course,  could do 
no business until  Monday.  Sunday  was a 
beautiful day.  Sleighing was excellent and 
the sun shone out brightly  and warm.  Af­
ter writing two or threejjetters in the morn­
ing,  I asked  the  landlord—an  old  school 
friend, by the way—if  he  wouldn’t  like  to 
take a little drive, to pass  away  the  time. 
He assented at once, and in a short time we 
were gaily flying along behind  a  trim little 
nag,  who could show his heels  to  everyone 
on the road, j

“As we reached a cross street on the edge 
of the village,  a funeral procession  was ex­
tending its dreary length  across  the street 
on  which  we  were  driving and we were 
compelled to'await its passage.  *
•  “ ‘If the unconscious  clay'  in  that  ‘box 
were able to speak, I wjll warrant  its  first- 
words would be  these  Of  thanksgiving for 
the relief of deaift,’ sold the landlord, as the 
last sleigh passed and we were permitted to" 
continue our drivel  -  ‘And, if  there  is-  any 
punishment after death for the  sins of  this 
life, the .woman who caused $11  that misery 
ought to have a reserved seat in the hottest 
place 
It was the  most  horritfiq  piece of

^

neglect, cruelty  and  total  depravity  that 
could he imagined.’ 

“I was immediately fired  with  curiosity 
to know the details of that which  promised 
such an insight into the baser portion of hu­
man nature, and I  pressed  the  landlord  Jo 
give me the particulars.

“ ‘It is a long, pathetic  story,  and needs 
the pen of a skillful word painter to  repro­
duce upon paper such a picture, ’  responded 
he. 
‘However,  I will  relate  it to you,  and 
should you become  wearied  remember you 
urged me.’
,  “ ‘Eighteen years  ago  last  January, as 
you will remember, you and !  had complet­
ed our studies as far as we  intended  pursu­
ing knowledge, and I returned to this town, 
which has always been my home.  My fath­
er,  at that time,  was  not  over-abundantly 
supplied with temporal  wealth,  and  on my 
return home I secured a  position  as  clerk 
for George Simmons, who kept a  dry goods 
store at that time. 
I make these  prefatory 
remarks in order that you may better under­
stand how it occurs that l  am so  intimately 
acquainted with the more minute  details of 
the affair.’

“ ‘1 had worked for Simmons  nearly two 
months when,  one  cold,  blustering day in 
March,  a woman entered the store, carrying 
in her arms a child.  She  made  purchases 
of several dollars’  worth  of  dry  goods—
dress patterns and  trimmings- 
-and,  when
she had completed her list, put  her hand in 
her pocket for her purse.’

“  ‘  “I must have left my purse at hpme,” 
said  she,  after  searching  several 
times 
through the different pockets  in  her  dress 
and  the  small  satchel  she  carried in her 
hand.  “Have  you  any  objections  to my 
leaving my baby here while I  get  it?  My 
little girl has gone to sleep and  I am afraid 
to take her out into the cold  air  until  she 
awakes,  as she is just recovering from a se­
vere cold.” *

“ ‘As she was a very respectable  appear­
ing woman,  and, during the conversation in 
making the purchases had  casually remark­
ed that she was a new-comer in the village, 
I made no objection to the arrangement.  A 
couple of chairs were put  together near the 
stove, some blankets placed thereon and the 
baby—a girl, about  three  months old, as I 
then judged—was snugly  tucked  up,  and 
the woman immediately left the store.’

I was in a quandary. 

“  ‘She never returned.  As the  moments 
grew into hours and the dreary  March  day 
was fast dying  out,  I  became  somewhat 
alarmed  at  the  mother’s
non-appearance. 
Up to this time, the babe had  slept  peace­
fully;  but now she awoke  and  commenced 
urging, as only young  infants can urge,  for 
nourishment.
I  did 
not like to tell Simmons—who had not been 
in  the  store  that  afternoon—of The  pay 
which I had received for  the  goods  which 
the  woman  had  taken with her when she 
went for her purse,  as I was afraid  of  the 
ridicule I very well knew he would heap up­
on my unlucky head  when  he  discovered 
that I had been victimized—for  I  had  ar­
rived at the conclusion that the  woman had 
intended leaving the child when she entered 
the store  and that the loss of her purse was 
simply a part of the plan.’

‘But the young lady by the  stove  was 
now making such a horrible row that I must 
do something,  ana,  during  the  height  of 
the noise,  Simmons came  in,  together with 
his wife.’

“ ‘ “ What have you got baek there, Jack?” 
asked Simmons, in surprise,  as  the wails of 
the little girl grew louder and louder.  ‘ ‘Have 
you turned the store  into  an  orphan  asy­
lum?” and be commenced  to  laugh,.  while 
Mrs.  Simmons  took  the  youngster in her 
arms and soon had it quieted.  In  answer to 
their repeated ejacnlations of  Surprise  and 
inquiry, I blurted  out  the  whole  story of 
woman’s duplicity and man’s gullibility.’

“  ‘Mrs.  Simmons  was  at  once  eager to 
adopt the little waif.  After  five  years  of 
married life  they  were  still  without  off­
spring, and Simmons, as well as  his  wife, 
were very fond of children.’

“  ‘After  considerable

discussion,  Sim­
mons and  his  wife  decided  to  keep  the 
child,  at least until claimed by  its  mother, 
and, in the event of  her  not  returning, to 
retain it permanently and legally  adopt it.’
.  “  ‘The child thrived,  while  the  months, 
rolled around  completing a year and it was 
still  unclaimed.  Simmons  and  his  wife 
took the legal  steps  necessary to make the 
child  theirs  by  adoption,  and as she grew 
up and developed into  a  beautiful girl,  she 
was educated and cared for fully as well, if 
not better than their  own  daughter  could 
have been, had fortune sent  them one.’

“ ‘When Ida Simmons, as she was called, 
had arrived at the age  of  seventeen—about 
a year-  ago—Simmons  employed  a  young 
man as clerk in the  store,
which  he  still 
owned, who came from Detroit well recom­
mended by his former employers.’  •

“  ‘Will .Osmund  was  a  handsome  lad,' 
and  as  sharp,  shrewd  and  industrious a 
young fellow as one would  wish  to  meek 
He rapidly worked ids way  into.  Simmons’ 
good graces,  as Well as those of  Mrs.  Sim­
mons and Ida, and, at the end of six months 
he had Won Simmons’ consent  to . a  union; 
between hitoself and ‘ Ida-  Simmons.  The 
wedding day was fiked as February IS—two 
we^ks agd tcfcday —and the young -pair- were

happy  as  larks,  .preparing for  the  -great • 
everit.  Young Osmimd  immediately  com­
menced the erection of a cage for  his  bird, 
while the bird was as  busy  as  possible in 
the labor of her wedding outfit.’ 

,  V

“ ‘No fairer day could  have  been  made 
expressly to order on which  to  launch  the 
young couple on the journey of life  in  the 
harness  of  wedlock.  The  sun  shone  as 
brightly as it does to-day, and the populari­
ty of the young couple drew  forth  a  large 
congregation at the church  to  witness  the 
ceremony.  As the minister pronounced the 
couple man and wife,  a telegram was hand­
ed Mr. Simmons, who had just given  away 
his adopted daughter.  He  quickly  opened 
it and,  as his eyes  glanced  hurriedly  over 
the lines, his  face  turned  white  and  his 
hands trembled with agitation.  He quickly 
called the minister aside and  gave  him the 
telegram.  -  It read as follows:

“  * “Will Osmund,  who  is  your  adopted 
daughter’s husband,  is hqr  brother  as well. 
Letter will follow explanatory.

J a n e  Osm und.” ’

“  ‘The  telegram  was  dated,  “Detroit, 
Feb.  18,  1887, 10:30 a. m.’’—-just  the  time 
at which the wedding party had approached 
the altar.  The scene which followed its re- 
ceipt beggars description.  Young  Osmund 
was nearly crazy, while Ida gave away utter­
ly and was carried to her father’s house..4

“ ‘The letter mentioned  in  the  telegram, 
arrived  in the evening mail,  and in  if  was 
contained a history of deceit,'  treachery and: 
vindictiveness such as I hope may  never be 
my lot to hear again.’

“  ‘Jane Osmund,  the writer  thereof, had 
met a man in her youth who had made pas­
sionate love to her and  won  her  affection 
and trust in return. 
It was the old  story— 
a mock ceremony, a few  months  of  bliss, 
and then desertion.  No  children  had  fol­
lowed the union,  and  she  had  supported, 
herself by hard work—keeping herself post­
ed as to her betrayer’s  actions and retaining 
the name he did not give her.’

“ ‘One year after the villain  made her an 
outcast  in  the  world  and left her to shift 
for herself,  he married a wealthy  heiress in 
Detroit.  A daughter was the  first  child of 
this marriage, and one day while the  nurse 
was giving it an airing  she  left if alone for 
a moment and when she returned the infant 
had disappeared.  Search  was made every-' 
where, rewards offered and the  best  detec­
tives employed, but all to no purpose. 1  The 
child  was  irrecoverably  lost  and,  as  the 
months passed, a boy was born  to  the  be­
reaved parents, relieving,  to  a  certain  ex­
tent, the grief of the  parents  over the loss 
of the girl.  As the years passed,  Osmund, 
senior, ventured .into  speculation,  became 
ruined, and the boy, Will, was compelled to 
work for his  livelihood.  His  mother  was 
dead and,  about two years before Will came

told of the suicide of  a  noted  member  of 
the demimonde of that city, known as Jane 
Osmund, and that is the last we  ever heard 
of her.  The young bsdegroom  was found, 
lying 
the  morning  after  the  wedding, 
stretched in his own blood on  the  floor  of 
his room, having shot himself. 
Ida  lay  in 
a sort of stupor until  last'Friday,  and then

STILL,  ANOTHER.

And  npw.  comes  a  butter tub trust, Ac- 
eompanied by the cheering information that 
higher prices will rule  during  the  coming 
season.  The  Eastern  trust,  which  was 
maintained last  year  by  Burrill  &  Whit­
man, worked so satisfactorily  that arrange­
ments have since been made for a  Western 
trust, with the  dreamery  Package  Co.  in 
charge.  Prices have  already  been jumped 
up 2 cents a tub  and  farther  advances are 
looked for.  -

It is a matter of common knowledge  that 
prices on butter tubs have ruled so low dur­
ing the past two years that there  has  been 
no.  money  in  the  business. 
If" the trust 
simply maintains living price«, no fault can 
. he found with it;  bat the usual tendency  of 
■such  combines  is  to  force  prices to such 
limits that the trust  becomes  a  monopoly. 
T h e T r a d e sm a n  hopes  the  usual  result 
will not follow in this casé.

The Retail Merchants’  Association of the 
State of New Jersey has  complimented the 
Michigan  Business  Men’s  Association  by 
^adopting the constitution and by-laws of the 
'.latter body, the only change being the price 
charters,  which  was placed jti $5,  in­
stead  of  $3.  The  committee  having  the 
«matter in charge obtained the working plans 
--of all other State Associations, so  that  the 
selection of the Michigan  system  is an evi- 
,  -dence of the “survival of the  Attest.”  The 
I t  B. M. A. is  proud  of  its  constitution, 
.  brief and expressive as  it  is,  and  extends 
Ohio the same privilege it recently accorded 
New Jersey—the adoption of a system it has 
taken years to  perfect,  free  and  without 
> price.

T h e  Common Council of  Charlotte  must 
be composed of very small men, judging by 
their action in charging the B. M. A. of that 
place rent for the use of the  council  cham­
ber.  Considering the  stand  the  Charlotte 
Association  has  taken  on the question of 
public improvements, and the effective work 
it has undertaken  and  carried  forward in 
alleviating distress among the poor, it would 
appear to  a  superficial  observer  that  the 
¿Charlotte aldermen^fnust  be  peculiar indi­
viduals.

The Adrian cheese jobbers appear to have 
' secured  an  option  on  the  secret so long
- sought  for  by  the  alchemists.  With one 
> stroke of the marking brush,  they  convert 
'cheese made in Adiegan, Yan Buren, Eaton,
- Branch, Saginaw and a dozen  other  coun­
tries in rim State into the “Genuine Lenawee 
«County” article.

T he hoard  insurance  system,  like  other 
grasping monopolies,  dies hard. 
Its death 
kneH taas been sounded,  however,  and  its 
obituary will end with the following signifi 
cant sentence:  “Killed by the B. M. A.”

Lenawee county is a very  ordinary  sized 
-county, but “Lenawee county cheese”  is as 
broad as the whole State of Michigan.

The  insurance  monopoly  is  paralyzed.

Muskegon B u sin ess G azette:  The  Mus­
kegon Business Men’s Association  is show­
ing almost phenomenal growth.  The more 
that  join,  the  faster  the  applications for 
membership come in and it begins  to  look 
asthpugh.it may soon  embrace  our  ientire 
business community.  Well,  why shouldn’t 
it?

Lpcal secretaries should bear in  mind the 
last paragraph of Article l i t  of the by-laws 
of the State body:  “Per  capita  dues  on 
new members shall be  remitted as  soon as 
they,  are  admitted!’*  Several  associations 
have  failed ,  to  observe  this  rhle,  which 
should deprive them of the benefits of affili­
ation until the proper  remittances  are sent 
in.

Association will meet in regular  session to­

the Association now numbers 135,  and  ap­
plications are coining in  right  along.  The 
business men of the city are  better  pleased 
with the Association the more they  become 
acquainted  with  the method it provides for 
weeding out dead beats in  the  community, 
A  Dorr correspondent writes:  “The Dorr 
B. M. A. will  hold  the  next  meeting on 
Wednesday,  March  8,  at 11 o’clock, a. m 
and at noon our business men  will  furnish 
all the members of  the  Association  with a 
good dinner at Joseph Neuman’s hotel, got­
ten up especially for  the  occasion.  Every

The  Warfare  on  Trusts,

The newspapers are full of “trlsts” these 
days.  Their news  columns  and  editorial 
pages teem with references  to  these  very 
peculiar institutions,  and  where  there  is 
opinion or coloring the sentiment is  hostile 
to them.  The signs point to an uprising on 
the subject.  It in taking the form of a grand 
popular protest against the existence of com 
binations of capital to corner or forestall the 
market for any article or commodity that is 
in general use—combinations  without  the 
pale of and above and  beyond  the law,  yet 
enjoying  the  protection  of the law and of 
the courts.  This position  that  the  trusts 
seek to maintain themselves in  is  univers­
ally held to be untenable  by  everybody not 
interested in their  success,  and the drift of 
opinion seems to be clearly in the  direction J 
of their legislative regulation.
B ank  N otes.

After May 1, -1889, and for a period of fif­
teen years,  the  People’s ' Savings  Bank of 
Detroit will occupy the present  quarters of 
the  American  Express  Co.  in the Moffat 
block.  The  bank  will  pay $7,000 a year 
rent.

Ten shares of the stock of  the  Chemical 
National Bank were sold on the  New York 
Stock  Exchange  on-  the  2d,  at  $3,600  a 
share.  This was  without  the  bi-monthly 
dividend of 25 per cent., and is  said  to  be 
the  highest  price  ever  paid for this high- 
priced  stock.  The  last  previous  sale  of 
Chemical Bank stock was  iu  January  last 
for $3,375.  For a long time  the  dividends 
have  been  at  tile  rate  of 15 percent,  bi­
monthly, with an additional  dividend of 10 
per  cent.,  making  the  dividend  100  per 
cent, per annum.  On March  1, a bi-month­
ly dividend of 25 per cent.,  or 150 per cent, 
a year,  was declared.  Last year  the  bank 
paid out $300,000 in dividends,  besides car­
ryings surplus of twice that amount.

The  Hardware Market.

The wire nail  manufacturers  have, come 
to an agreement  and  advanced  prices  15 
cents per keg at the  factory.  The  jobbers 
have not yet  advanced  their  prices.  The 
building board combination is now a settled 
fact and prices will  be •higher  before  they 
are lower.  The syndicate now controls the 
product of the Union Strawboard Co.

to represent the M. B. M. A. at the hearing 
at Lansing on May  3  of  the  Commission 
having in preparation a standard fire  insur­
ance policy.  The selection seems  to  T h e  
T r a d e s m a n  to be  peculiarly  appropriate, 
as Mr. Fletcher has made a careful study of 
the insurance business, the  Cole  anti-corn 
pact bill  having  been  originated  and pri­
marily championed by him.

P. S. Swarts,  Secretary of  the  Fennville 
B. M. A., writes  as  follows:  “We  have 
started the project of putting in  roller  pro­
cess in tiie grist mill here and making  it  a 
paying institution and a decided help to our 
town.  The  mill,  as  it  now is, is a dead 
property.  The  scheme  originated  in  our 
Association and is wholly pushéd by it, and 
if achieved (which is now very likely), will 
he at least one bright feather for  the plum­
age of our Association.  1 can say we  have 
a good;  working, live organization.”

Charlotte Republican;  There has been a 
great deal  of  dissatisfaction  expressed by 
reason of the  council  having  charged  the 
Business  Men’s  Association  $50 per year 
for the use  of the council rooms in the court 
house.  This feeling  by  no  means  exists 
among  the  members  of  the  Association 
alone.  Many  outsiders  have  openly  and 
emphatically expressed the opinion that, in 
asmuch as the Association  is  a  public  or­
ganization,  devoted  to  the  up-building of 
the city,  its rent should be given free. 
It is 
certainly true .that this item ef  $50  a  year 
would be a  helpful  addition  to  the  relief 
fund of the Association if it could be turned 
to this end instead of being used for paying 
rent.  Furthermore,  the  Association  has 
few meetings, so that, on the  whole,  it is 
pretty extravagant price.

Proposition 

T he Sawdust Association Booming.
From the Muskegoa Business Gazette.
A t a special meeting o f the B. M. A„ held  on 
Feb. 28, a communication from  the Rifenburg 
Milling Co. was read, in regardto moving their 
mill from  Charlevoix to this place, as they re­
quire  better  transportation  facilities 
than 
their present  location  affords.  The capacity 
of the mill is 100 barrels of  flour per day—full 
roller process.  They want a  site  on  the lake 
front to enable them  to use  both  rail  and wa­
te r  transportation.  Referred  to  Committee 
on  M anufactures, to   get  a   definite proposi­
tion from th e  Arm.
from   J .  C.  Clapp, 
m anufacturer of overalls, etc.,  making an of­
fe r to locate  here.  He employs,  a t  present, 
seventeen hands, hem an increasing trade,  and 
wants  better  facilities  than  be  now  has to 
reach  his  northern  customers.  Referred  to  
Committee  on  M anufactures,  to  look  over 
Mr. C.’s plant and, business,  and report on his 
proposition at th e  regular meeting,  March 13.

SheffleM Velocipede Car Co., of Three  Rivers, 
stating th at  they  had  decided to   rem ain a t

The m eeting was the largest ever held by the 
Association, and it is hoped th a t  all the mein-

Guage crosses the West Michigan thp ground

Must have been nigh onto  %  hundred  feet! 
Oh, how my stomach felt!  Such  a  queer, 
sinking  sensation!  Down,  doWp,  down, 
and then, as f   neared  bottom,  I  found an 
old friend who had long passed  away from 
earth’  coning  down  along-side of  me!  I 
wasn’t a bit afraid. 
It seemed quite  natu­
ral to see him, only he carried  his  head, in 
bis left hand.  Pretty soon, I   was  on solid 
ground, having come down with  a  terrible 
thump that started, every bone in  my body.. 
’Diere I  was in Bemington’s  store  in Ban­
gor, standing just  as  unconcerned  as  yon 
please, my old friend; with  his  head in his 
hand, beside  me,  and  George  Remington 
didn’t seem a bit snrprised, either !  I  open­
ed up my samples, and George  appeared to 
like the goods and the  prices.  We  talked 
carload, I   gave  him  bed-rock prices  and, 
finally, he  said:

“ Well, open up your order-book.”  '
I  did so,  tickled to  think  that  after  so 
much trouble  and adventure I was to get a 
good fat order, and he then said:

“You can send me nineteen  carloads  of 
those  gum-drops,  assorted  colors,  blue, 
green and scarlet.” 
'
The biggest order I  ever got!  Gentlemen, 
I  was a terribly disappointed man when the 
infernal landlord of that  hotel  at  Coloma 
knocked at my door and awoke  me before I 
had that order booked.

as he deposited  four  paper-covered  books 
and a  railway guide (which the news agent, 
h, ».fit of abstraction, had  laid on tiie bald- 
headed man’s lap) in the  seat  in  front  of 
jiim iutd motioned to  the tall  passenger to 
- come over to him,  “there  ain’t  any  one of

what  might  come  from  it.  Now,  about 
two—”

“ Well, as I   started  to  say, 

“ Yes, sir, you’re just right,’*  chimed in a  
gray-whiskered old gentleman, who bad his 
knees miraculously entangled in the cushion 
of the seat in front of him and' who unfold­
ed himself find leaned over, with  his elbow 
on  the  bald-headed man’s seat.  “When I 
first started out, eighteen years  ago,  to «fell 
crockery for the same house I  am now with,
I   trusted  people  more  than  I  did after 
my eye-teeth  were  cut,  so to speak.  The 
very first trip I made, I started out with two 
old-fashioned  valises  filled  with  plates, 
glassware  and  cups,  and  the first town I 
made was Albion, Ind., over on the B. & O.
Well, sir, I  got off  the  train  and a 
r „._r  
made  a  dive for my grips to
(Cany them up to the only  hotel  the  town 
afforded, and, os  I   trudged  along  behind 
him,  I  called out to Utm  to  ‘be  careful  of 
those grips because they had glass in them.’
Well, the lad turned around to ask me what 
{. said  and stumbled  and  down  he  went,
.grips and all!  Great Scott!  But you ought 
to  have seen the ruins!  Well, when I left Al­
b io n ,h a d  six pieces left out of thirty-two, 
and t-Wo of the six were cracked.  (That was 
before this ‘crackle ware’ came into  general 
«se,  and  it was  a bad send-off.) 
I  drove 
from Albion to Wakarusa with a young gro­
cery drummer, and he got through his work 
before  I  did  and,  as we were to go on to 
Nappanee, he was in a terrible  stew for mo 
to hurry.  Well, I  got through  at last, and 
he, sitting in the buggy in  front  of the ho­
tel, called to me as I came  across the street 
to hurry up.  Well,  there  were four or five 
young ladies sitting on the porch of the ho­
tel and, as I was younger  and  more  foxy- 
looking than  I am now,  I  came  across as 
gracefully as I could but walking quite rap­
idly.  Half-way across, I caught my foot on 
a little post set in the street.  Up went my 
hands, grips and all,  and down  I   came  on 
my  face,  ker-smash!  Crockery  samples?
W ell, don’t mention  it!  I  used  cuts  and

gent, looking as relieved as  one  who  had 
unloaded a weight, once more got his knees 
up on the back of the seat in  front  of him.
two  years 
ago,” said  the  bald-headed  man.  “I  got 
caught in a snow storm on  that  little jerk 
water road that runs from  Lawton to Hart­
ford, and when we finally pulled  into Hart­
f o r d  we had missed our  connection. 
I  was 
headed for S t Joe, and it was a  clear  case 
of waiting until  midnight  or  chancing  a 
freight about six o’clock p. m.  A  through 
freight came along,  and  I  persuaded  the 
conductor to take me along  as  far  as  St.
Joe, on account of a “sick  relative.”  Nine 
miles from Hartford, ai   Celoma,  we  were 
obliged to side-track to let  another  freight 
go by. 
It was snowing furiously and blow­
ing forty miles an hour and. after laying on 
the side-track nearly  an  hour  waiting for 
the  other  train,  we  found  that we were 
stuck fast.  Well, I  was hot,  you  bet, and 
so I went up town to the old  rookery  they 
-call a hotel, and made out as  best  I  could
for all night.  For supper we had boiled po­
tatoes and souse, jmd, after  reading  all the 
back-number  papers  that  lay  around,  I 
marched off to an 8 x 10 room,  with a cord­
ed bed and a straw pillow.  Could  not  get 
to sleep to save me.  Thought  of  first one 
thing and then another,  and  finally  began 
to count 100 backward.  No good.  Just as 
soon aS I  began to nod, I would realize that 
I  had lost my count and be startled into full 
wakefulness again and have to  begin  over. 
All of a sudden, I  noticed  that  the  wind 
was raising,  and it seemed  as  if  the  old 
house would be shaken from its  very foun- 
dations.  T hai it took on a rocking motion, 
and,  jumping  out of bed, Ira n  to the win­
dow,  rubbed  off  some of the frost and, to 
my horror, discovered  that  we hadbroken 
away from dry land and were on  the  lake,
floating  about  at the mercy  of  the  wind! 
Well, the way I  hustled  into  my  clothes 
was a caution!  I  hurried  down  stairs, and 
there, sitting on a table in the dining room, 
were three of my old  school-mates  playing 
pedxa 
I  tried to explain to them what had 
happened, but one of them  said  something 
about “letting dull care go to the dogs” and 
invited me to join them^>Weli,we sat down,

Some of ns were playing  cards, one or tvft>

dual  capacity of  a  soldier  and  newspaper 
correspondent  was  busily  engaged 
in 
writing.  ‘ The shells and solid shot shrieked 
around and above ns, but the  noise was too 
familiar  and  commonplace to excite  atten­

defiance of  all  rules of  gunnery or gravita­
tion, a projectile from  “the Swamp  Angel” 
(a hnndredrpound gun immediately in front 
of  us)  struck  our  roof  and  knocked  Our 
shelter  into  dust  and  kindling  wood  in a 
fraction of  a second.  The commotion had 
hardly  subsided  and  a  half-dozen  of  us 
were  still  hugging  the  earth  with tender 
affection,  when-the correspondent, who had

■'¡0  Lucky, Indeed, is Hie. man  whom  nature 
created yvitli a calm, dispassionate  and  un 
.emotional  temperament.  While a majority 
|j   of h>s fellow beings are perennially engaged 
in  exhausting 
their  vitality,  breaking 
down their ñervo uèsystem sand  curtailing 
their  earthly sojoum,  by unavailing  worn 
ment, by useless  brooding  over  real or im­
aginary , troubles,  by never-ceasing  regrets 
over abortive ambitions  and  by  chronie in 
dulgence of  fears for the  future,  our  une­
motional  man  takes  the  journey  of  Ufe 
.  fleliberately  and  calmly;  climbing over ol> 
«tractions  without  protest;  enjoying  hira- 
,,  *elf  when  the path  is  clear  without  fore 
«tailing  the  possible  obstacles in  the  dis­
tance;  mounting the hiUs without pausing to 
-determine  their altitude, and  forgetting  or 
ignoring  the thoras that pierce him and the 
¿nettles that sting him as soon as he emerges 
into an open space.

i  say that  this  man  is lucky,  but,  after 

all, I   seriously  doubt  whether you  and 

•  „would welcome a metamorphosis that would 
•endow us with the same traits of character. 
He  is  lucky  from  his  disposition, as  the 
goose  is  lucky  because  of  her  covering. 
The  storms  of  adversity  in  the-one  case 
and  the  actual  storms in  the  other fail to 
penetrate  the  Coating  which  nature  has 
given to each ;  but if either the  man or the 
goose had ever enjoyed the privilege,  which 
you and I  have enjoyed for  years, of  grum­
bling, growling,  fault finding,  worrying and 
expostulating and the comfort  we  have de­
rived in prophesying  dire  disaster  and  fu­
ture  unhappiness,  they  could  neither  be 
.considered lucky.

The man  who  never  “ loses  his  head,” 
under  any circumstances, is  the rara  avis 
of  the  human  flock,  but  you  and  I  have 
seen him and known  him  and  marveled at 
the  extraordinarily  comatose  condition  of 
his nervoussystem.  He is not, necessarily 
insensible to the ties  of affection or  friend­
ship.  He may have  in some remote  quar­
ter of  his heart a warm spot  for  his family 
and  acquaintances.  He  may  appear,  but 
may  not be, indifferent to  the  sorrows and 
afflictions  of  others.  He  may  have  con­
cealed  about  his  anatomy a maximum  as­
sortment  of  the  cardinal  virtues,  but  he 
never gushes, never gets excited, never losss 
his  balance  and  has a curb  bit  on  all the 
human  passions,  and,  until  we study him 
and know him,  we arc very liable to classify ' 
him very erroniously and  incorrectly.

Among all the  numerous  causes for sud­
den excitement,  among  thé excitable,  a fire 
in a  community lytthout  adequate  fire pro­
tection probably Occasions the most commo­
tion, and on such an  occasion it is interest­
ing  to  note  the  Conduct  of  the  non-emo- 
tional  man.  While  dozens,  or,  perhaps, 
hundreds,  of  his  neighbors  are  rushing 
frantically and,  perhaps,  aimlessly  around 
the streets, yelling themselves  hoarse  and, 
like a Chinese  army, endeavoring to intim­
idate the enemy with  noise  and  gesticula­
tions,  the  n.-e.  fellow  calmly slips  on  his 
rubbers and oyercoat, walks  deliberately to 
the scene of  action and “sizes up” the  situ-* 
ation at a glance. 
If  fighting will avail,  he 
knows it, and  his fighting  qualities are put 
into requisition;  if he determines otherwise, 
and  his  own  property  is  seriously endan­
gered,  it  is  Speedily but quietly  put  into 
shape to save every dollar possible.

Occasions  of  this  nature  are  eminently 
calculated to illustrate the altitudes and  de­
pressions Of  the human emotional thermom­
eter. 
I remember of  bearing  or reading,  a 
long time ago, of  an  individual who«- while 
dressing for his  daily avocation,  happened 
to  notice  that  the  roof  of  a  neighbor’s 
house,  on  the  opposite  side of  the street, 
was  showing  signs of  a  speedy conflagra­
tion.  After completing his toilet, he walked 
leisurely across the road,  rang the bell, and, 
after  a  few  moments,  a  servant  girl  ap­
peared at the door.

“ Who  resides  here?”  asked  the  calm 

man.

The girl gave him the name.
“Is  he  at home?  Yes 1  Well, will  you 
kindly inform him that I would  like to see 
him a moment ?” 

In about a couple of  minutes the proprie­
tor appeared  and the unemotional  man ob- - 
served;

i 

“M r.----- ?  Yes !  Weil, excuse me, sir,
for speaking, to  you  without  the  formality 
of an introduction, but, as  your house is on 
. fire,  I-*”

As neàrly as I can  remember,  the  aneo- 
dote  described  the  owner  of  -the  endan­
gered property as exactly the reverse of  the 
gentleman who brought the  information of 
the disaster, and.1 think it was related that, 
before  his  dwelling  «rent up in smoke and 
ashes, he  distinguished  himself by throw­
ing his mother-in-law  out of  a second-story 
window  and carrying a feather  bed  safely 
down tee stalls and out into the street.

I t is reported  that the Zeeland  creamery 

will Dot-be operated ibis season.

'

Eugene Hicks Is  the “ Co.*’ of  G.‘C. Wil-' 
Hams & Co., proprietors of  the  new cheese 
factory  in  Leighton 
township,  Allegan 
county. 

The Vicksburg creamery,  which has run 
at a loss for the past two  years,  Is  offered 
for sale cheap.  The  creamery  was put in 
by Davis fifc Rankin.  “Nuff sed.”

Henry Henkel, the Howard  City  cream­
ery man mid butter tub manufacturer, has a 
farm of 880 acres, about 550 acres of  whieh 
Is improved.  He now ,has 171 head of  cat­
tle.  He proposes going into the  rearing of 
short horns quite extensively.

JS. J. Savage will begin  operations at his 
cheese factory at Coopersville  about May l r 
He will buy the milk direct from  the farm­
ers, paying at least 70  cents  per  hundred, 
and perhaps more.  Arrangements  will  be 
made so that farmers can draw pay formilk 
as often as desired.  Money  will  be depos­
ited in the bank for that purpose.

The  Cheese  Outlook.

J

Fred E» Angeli, who  has  sold  Lenawee 
county cheese—and the  product of a dozen 
other counties labeled ‘ ‘Lenawee”—for sev­
eral years past, gives his views on the cheese 
prospects for 1888 as follows:' 

* ‘I  have made thorough inquiries imo the 
condition of  the  cheese  market  and  the 
prospects for the opening of the season, and 
¡find  the  outlook  far  from  satisfactory. 
While the faetorymen are practically bare of 
stock, the jobbing trade of the  State is fair­
ly well loaded up and the retail  trade holds 
x larger amount of stock  than  ever  known 
before.  This condition was  brought about 
by tiie rapid advance sustained  in  the  fall 
■mi a consequent speculative  tendency 
tine part of the  retailer.  We  shall  not be 
able to begin operations on a  bare  market 
as we did a year ago.  The  moral  for  the 
manufacturer is to make just  as  few  hay 
cbeeseas  possible.”

'  ‘  The  Wayland  Cheese  Factory.

ftAu the Wayland Globe.

, 

_ 

Ih e  patrons of the Wayland  cheese  fac­
tory  met at the factory on Feb. 23.  G. W, 
Waite was chosen  chairman.  A  report of 
ttfe wmk of the  Previous  year was read by 
the Se>-.retary.  The credentials  and recom­
mendations  of  E.  Griswold, 
th e, cheese 
maker,  were  read,  which  included 
the 
names of the offices and  leading  business 
men of G^iuga' county, Ohio. 
It  was  de- 
cided to take milk but once a  day  and that 
no milk be received that had been set in any­
thing  bat  delivery ' cans  over  night  and 
skimmed and the  fresh  milk  of  morning 
added.  The officers for the year  are:  L B 
Smith,  Salesman;  James Tanner, Assistant 
Salesman; J. W.  Humphrey,  Secretary and 
Treasurer. 
It was ordered that  all bills be 
made payable to the Treasurer.  Acommit- 
,  tee of three was elected to-  look  up  cases 
where pòór milk was being  hauled.  Com­
mittee:  G. W.  Waite, S. Paul  and  A.  A. 
Abbott  Factory to be started as soon after 
April 1 as patrons  are  ready.  Under  the 
new management the  factory  has a prom- 
.  .
king  year. 
'  From the Architect’s Stand-point.
. D. S. Hopkins,  who  enjoys  the  distinc­
tion of  being one of the  leading  architects 
n f this country, thus refers to the celebrated 
jUffine grater
This Aldine  Grate is a great  fuel  saver, 
in   this  way:  The  return  .flue, or  indirect 
draft, which this Grate possesses  gives  out 
a t least  double  the  amount  of  heat  from 
th e same amount of fuel  that  ah  ordinary 
Grate can.  This I know from actual  expe- 
Mence, as I am  using one. 
It also is econ- 
,  omy to run one of  these  Grates  in  connec­
tion  with  steam or furnace  heating,  as  it 
greaRy asMsts in ventilation and  heating at 
tteinm efiiD e. 
\ 
Opinion of an Authority  on  Heating  and 
«
' Mate D. Smead, One of the  most  expert 
and bestrknown beating and. ventilating en- 
gbreers inthis  country,  writes  as  follows 
about the celebrated Aldine grate:
. 
I. have one  of  the  Aldine  Patent  Iron 
Plre-Places in my residence, and I  desire to 
,  asy that it gives perfect satisfaction in every 
inspect.  /.  It  possesses . every  advantage 
sflatemd for it^ana I  have no hositancy wbat-

t,-  Shutting Off a Manistee Cutter.
H. B.  Larsen, ‘th e  Manistee  d ry . goods 
,  dealer, handles a few patent  medicines and 
cute  prices  below  Hying  limits.  A short 
time  ago,  some  druggist in the county 
informed  one manufacturer,  H.  H.  Warner 
A Co., who wrote in reply that  the  cutting 
must stop;  that the wholesale  drug  houses 
of  Milwaukee  and  Chicago,  from  whom 
Larsen  obtains  his  supplies, would be re 
quested not to sell him; 
that  Mr.  Larsen 
would  be  appealed  to  personally  to  put 
prices up to those made" by  the manufactur- 
-era.  This last letter Mr.  Larsen  published 
in a conspicuous manner in one of the Man­
istee papers,  a copy p f  which was  forward 
ed Mr.  Wanrer.  Such a  mercenary  treat­
ment of private correspondence  so  angered 
the writer that he has notified  the  jobbing 
trade in the pities above referred to that Mr. 
Larsen must be cut off  from  the  source of 
supplies. 
In  case  Mr.  Warner  is able to 
able to accomplish this object,  the Manistee 
cutter will  probably  turn  his  attention to 
some other staple.

A t the regular monthly  meeting  of  the

’  noon, an application  for  membership  was 
received from Severance & Rich, of Middle

join the Society  under  certain  conditions, 
The communication  was  referred to L.  M. 
Mills,  who was  requested to secure the ap­
plications of the other  druggists  in  lower 
Kent and Barry counties.

The  matter  of.  closing  the  drug stores 
Sunday afternoon during the  summer  was 
discussed,  but action on the  same  was  de­
ferred until the next meeting.

The question was brought up as to wheth 
er the new liquor law  was  being  li ved up 
to .  The opinion seemed to  he that the law 
was generaHy  observed.

J   H O P S

Ph. Best Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.: 
Gentlemen—I have  used  in  my family 
and practice the Liquid Extract of Malt and 
Hops,  known  as  The “Best”  Tonic,  with 
the  mosf  satisfactory  results. 
I  consider 
the Malt Extract the most valuable of all of 
its class of Tonics, and  especially  adapted 
to those  cases  of  debility  arising from  en­
feebled digestion.  The “Best” Tonic  I be­
lieve fully equal to the  best  imported  Malt 
Extract, and I am confident 'will  give satis­
faction to patient and physician.

J. H.  T hompson,  M. D.

C h ic a g o ,  Dec. 6,  1887. 

Ph, Best Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.: 

G e n t l e m e n —I  have had the pleasure of 
examinjng and  testing  the qualities  of 131» 
“Best” Tonic, not  only in  my practice  but 
in  my  family.  Am  most  highly  pleased 
with  its  medicinal  qualities, and  cordially 
recommend  it  to  those,  who, by  reason di 
nervous exhaustion, find  it necessary  to re­
sort to Tonics and extra nutrients.  A wine 
glass  full  before  each  regular  meal,  in­
creases the appetite and improves digestion; 
administered upon retiring at night, has the 
effect to produce most tranquil sleep.

Respectfully,
J.  H a rvey Ba te s,  M.  D.

Milwaukee,  Wis., Oct.  21,  1887. 

Ph. Best Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.: 

Dear Sirs—I  take  pleasure  in  stating 
that your “Best” Tonic is the most palatable 
of  aby preparation  of  Malt, and  that  from 
its prompt and reliable  effect,  I prescribe it 
in preference to that of any other make.

Yours truly,

J. R. McDill.

Milw aukee,  W is,, Oct. 21,1887.

Ph. Best Brewing Co;, Milwaukee, Wis.: 

Gentlem en—I  have  used  The  “Best” 
Tonic  in  my own  family  and  in my prac­
tice, ever since it  was  brought to my atten­
tion by the  Phillip  Best  Brewing  Co., and 
am free  to  say  that  I   believe  it  to be the 
most palatable  and  useful of  the Malt pre­
parations I have used.

Wm,- Fox,  M.  D.

Milw auk ee,  W is.,  Oct.  26,  1887. 

Ph. Best Brewing Co.. Milwaukee, Wis. :
De a r  Sirs—I  thankfully  received  the 
two bottles of your Concentrated Liquid Ex­
tract of Malt and  Hops, and  am  impressed 
with  the  value  of  this  good and  nutritive 
preparation. 
It is really a  highly nutritive 
Tonic and  remedial  agent  in  building a p e  
weak  constitution,  strengthening the nerv­
ous  system,  and a  valuable  substitute  for 
solid  food, particularly if  giVen  after  dis­
eases, in cases of  injuries of the  body, and 
especially when  the appetite is diminished^. 
It  will  be  difficult  to  find  a  better  ToMe 
than  the “ Best,”  and  I  cheerfully  testify 
that it is of  grgffitiyalue m the treatment of 
all kinds ef w re te s s   and diseases»  1  pre­
fer it to any im H p d  Malt Extract.

Very Respectfully,

by the name of this town, I  am In 
lift NlrhiffT*’!  once  moté.  I   arrived  here 
i tfafr-ftigM:, and thus far have had no fear of 
^||¿C*>we-never’£deepsn  of  Badwhisky. 
I 
m i  the sheriff of the county  in  which that 
town la located on die trata last night.  He 
jwtnH. recognize me and told me thapie W  
looking everywhere for  me,  but  had 
WOW given up the starch, as they had decid­
u a that I  had been swallowed up in the vote 
«a local  option,  which  had  occurred  the 
weatday after my disappearance.  He even 
went so far as to assiire me that my remains 
]md been found in the  ballot  box  at one of 
Hie polling places and identified. 
I  decided 
- immediately  that  that  county  had  gone 
**Wet” by a large majority.

I  received  a cold and  formal letter  from 
th e house at this point 
It is not very often 
that I  am cat to the quick, but when I read 
Qw io-degree-below-Dakota cruelty  of  this 
letter I  felt that my lot in life  was  indeed 
hard.  The message which  lacerated me  is 
»follow s:
g  -—You have now been  out  nearly 
^ve weeks, and the  only  orders  you^ have 
sent in have been three sight  drafts for $50 
» c b —expenses.  W ¿ are a very benevolent 
grm, and simply run this business to enable 
impecnnious young men tó travel-atour ex­
pense.  We  have  decided,  however,  that 
the cold climate of the  Upper  Pemnsulais 
ant to give  you  consumption.  Therefore, 
you have no orders to send in this  week, 
come home. 
It will be better for  you  and 
aheaper for us to give you a pension here.

It begins to dawn upon me thatthis letter

This morning I  started out  with determi­
nation to sell goods oozing out at every pore.1 
A s I  walked at  a  brisk  pace  (about  four 
Éúles a week) up the street, I   saw  a  sign, 
•^Groceries  and  Undertakers’  Notions,” 
ftfyring at me from over the door of  a small 
holding on a comer.  The sigh  was a trifle 
ambiguous, but I suppose its  owner  meant 
veil.  "As T entered the store,  the  proprie­
tor was busily engaged in emptying the con­
tents  of  several  packages  of  Campbell’s 
yiffpft into an old can on the  counter,  and,
»  soon as he had stenciled the words “Pure 
jav a  Coffee,  60  cents  per pound,” on the 
he accosted me very pleasantly.  I talk­
ed about the weather and  other  matters of 
National  importance,  and finally led up to 
my business. 
I  asked  him  if  there  was 
anything he was short of in the grocery line.
“ N o,  sir;  I’ve got the  biggest  stock  in 
« i s  town!  Why, I’ve just got in  a Case of 
tomatoes, a box of soap, a  gross  of  half- 
gallon jugs and a barrel of the  finest, high- 
proof cider vinegar to go with ’em  you ever
mart" 

*

I  was quite curious to know  why  he car- 
A ri  such  an  enormous  stock of jugs and 
-vinegar  “to  go  with  em,”  and,  therefore, 
»fced him to explain it, if agreeable to him.
“ Well, you see, it’s like this.  The coun­
ty's just gone ‘dry,’ and all the saloons will 
be  shut  tighter’n  a  temperance  lecturer. 
Now, I  am a man of  enterprise,  if I do say 
it;  and so I  got these jugs,  ordered a barrel 
a f the best whisky in the  market, had it la- 
beled  ‘Cider Vinegar,’ and when any of my 
neighbors want a little clarified ‘goose-eye,’ 
why, all they’ve got to do i.s to give  me the 
mink and $4, and get  it.  But,  say,  don t 
give it away,  for, it you do, I’ll see that you 
go out of this town in a trance!  Do you as­
similate?”

I  understood.  And, while  be  had  been 
tu n ing-  a brilliant scheme entered my brain 
«hereby to get a big order out of him.

«‘Mr  Ginclub,” said L  “ that scheme m§.y 
work for awhile and no one get on to it; but, 
you’ll find, in the long run,  that it’s best to 
mmfine it to a trusted few.  Now,  down  in 
the southern  portion of the State,  we are a 
Kfctie more advanced  on  this  subject,  and 
hnow the pressing needs of the honest man 
who can’t procure a license and doesn’t want 
to.  Now, our folks have got  up  a  patent 
‘Absorber’ for just such emergencies.  With 
every two'hundred dollar order,  paid in ad­
vance, We send you a ‘Patent Lung Tester.’
