THATA WFUE PUZZLE.

Some days since farmers wagon,
containing father, mother, son and
two or three neighbors, drove up to a
stationers in Detroit, and the son
went in and bought the puzzle known
as "l5." Even before the wagon
drove off the old man had the cover
off the box and was working away like
an engine to solve the thing. Yester-
day the son returned with the box in
his pocket. He had black eye and
an awful lonesome look, and when
he came to be waited on, he said
"You know you sold me this puz-
zle ths other day p
"Well, we hadn't got mile out O

"Well, next morning I caught dad

Then he caught man cheating and
they had shindy. Then the Over

worked at it half day, and he and I

LETT Err FROM d. s. WRIGHT.

D. S. Wright is home again.
Spring is upon us. We want chris
tian, sober men and early risers, and
COOL grubers that will do their
best. That's the only sure road to
success. I believe in travelling step
by step and don't expect to be rich
in a jump. Elbow grease is the only
stuff to make gold with. No sweat
so sweet. The man who works as
faithfully in the absence of his en-
ployer as in his presence is seldom
out Of employment. The shirk will
always be found out. An employer
knows how much work q man can do
in a day, and soon learns who are his
faithful servants. The unfaithful
will soon ind that their services are
not needed, for the man who does an
honest days work, and well, will al
ways be preferred. Laziness IS in the
bones Of some people and if you had
them on the old barn floor you might
thrash them many day and not get
them out of the straw. "What will
the harvest be?" Idleness is the key

THE HERO From DEADWOOD.

The hero from Deadwood does not
have half show in Detroit, and he
cannot be blamed for feeling that we
are an unappreciative prople. These
heroes arrive here about once an four
weeks on the average, and the latest
put in an appearance yesterday morn
ing, preceded by the rumor that he
had struck it rich and made clean
hundred thousand dollars. When he
entered drug store on Michigan
avenue he was followed by dozen or
more persons, who wanted to admire
him and hear the story of his adven-
lures. He modestly hesitated to be-
gin, as all these Deadwood heroes do,
but he finally started off with:
ut is useless, perhaps, to remark
that Detroit offered no chance for an
ambitious young man TO get along"
That's so" replied one of his
hearers. 81 know you did not get
along here at all, and we had to make
upa shake-purse when you old father
died"
The hero swallowed something,
bent his eyes modestly on the floor,
and continued
II left this city with only $40 in
my pocket, but with a heart"
"Only $40, and I know it, for
lent you five Of that and I aver ex-
pected to see it again" interrupted a
second admlrer with a good deal oi
heartiness.
A shadow of pain fitted across the
acc Of the hero, but he braced up and
went on:
81 provided myself with mining
tools and"
Did you get trusted or pay the
cash for them p interrupted the man
on the other side of the store.
The hero did not design to reply,
but said:
81 knew that energy and pluck
would bring luck. Here at home
everybody seemed to keep me down,
but there"
"Say, I didn't try to keep you
down." suddenly observed a shoe
maker. Didn't I trust you for a
pair of boots when nobody else would,
and didn't | raise the money to pay
your fine and saved you frcm trip
to the house of correction ?"
The hero partially admitted the
correction, and had just opened his
mouth to 50 on when the druggiat
asked him to wait until he could put
up ten cents worth of castor oil for a
customer. The hero waited. and
when the oil had been put up he con-
tinued:
81 knew I had only myself to de-
pend on, and that fact nerved me up.
| pushed for the mines"
"Is that dog fight ?" interrupted
one of his hearers, as a furious growl-
ing was heard out doors.
All rushed to the door, but it was
a false alarm, and after they had re-
turned to the store the hero settled
himself back and remarked:
"Here in Detroit energy, pluck and
ambition counted for nothing. If I
tried to climb"
"And while I think of it" put in
the grocer two doorG below, "I'll hand
you the account run up by your moth
er in your absence. Inever expected
it would be paid, but I couldn't see
the old lady go to the poor housel' p

ro to get another start, and he had
