A Liberal Editor.

WE were grieved to read the other
day of the death of one of Michigan's
j0lliest editors almost the last man of
band who published weeklies IN the
State when coonskin would paw for q
column ''ad," and three bushels of
corn dumped on the Office floor stood
for years subscription. Never a pub
Usher was more liberal with his space.
1t was hard work for him to charge for
anything except the tax-list and mort
gage sales, and he measured short even
on them. One day in the years gone
by his paper copied an attack on a
county official, and old Mark was doing
at his desk when the injured party
stalkcd in and began:
8. You are coward, sir-a-cow-
ard!'
"Mebbe am" was the editors COM
placent reply.
"And can lick you, sir-ick you out
of your wrinkled old boots!''
II guess you could" answered Mark
as he busted the wrapper off his only
exchange.
"Pm going to write an article calling
you fool, liar, coward, cur, slanderer,
and body -snatcher, and go over to Ionia
and pay five cents line to have it pub
lished.''
"Hey?' queried the old man as he
wheeled around.
Eyes, III pay five cents line to have
it published"
Say, let me tell you something" re-
piled Mark. "pve got two hundred

I'll publish your attack on me for two
cents line and take it out in mill-feed
or corn stalks! Don't trot over to Ionia
when you can help build up your own

Sixty Miles Minute ON a Tin Pan.


ARTHUR FITZPATRICK, who returned
from Colorado short time ago, gives
the following glowing account Of an
occurrence in the mining districts, of
which he was an eyewitness: "a
miner and some companions were cross
ing the Continental Divide when it was
covered with snow. Three miles below
them, down a decline of forty-five de-
grees, deeply covered with frozen
reach, while to 60 round by rail was
fifteen miles. The miner took tin
pan used for washing gold, spread his
blanket over it, got in himself in
squatting position on his launches,
tucked the blanket around, held his
rifle and other traps over his head and
got one of his companions to give him
push. He informed me he went down
at the speed of sixty miles minute,
and shot far out into the valley at the
footof the mountain. When he stopped
he found the soldering of the pan
melted from friction. his blanket on
fire, and it was his impression that had
he gone much further he would have
been burned up. together with all his
traps"

Uncle Esek's Wisdom,

MAKING apologies is mean business,
but the necessity of making them is
still meaner.
He who works and waits, wins.
Common sense is the gift Heaven;
enough of it is genius.
Ceremonies and bills of fare seem to
be necessary. Many people would not
know how to act without the one nor
what to eat without the other.
The ambitions and vanities of an old
man are too weak and ridiculous to be
dangerous.
The time spent in reading books that
do not make us think is worse than use
less. One good book, however, is food
for q lifetime.
If there were no listeners, there would
be no hatterers.
If contentment is happiness, it is bet
ter to be contented with good deal
than with little.
The man who has no foolishness in
his nature probably has something worse
in place of it.
We owe one half of our success in
this world to some circumstance, and
the other half to taking the circumstance
on the wing.
Crime is the outgrowth of vice; to
stop the former, you must weed out the
latter.
A cunning man is often shrewd but
seldom wise. He sets so many traps
for others that he generally gets into
some of them himself.
Good breeding is so natural and
easy that it can be taken for mere SIM
plicity.
There is kind of honesty that is
nothing but fear, and sort of patience
which is nothing but laziness.
Coquetry is more natural to woman
than prudery. A woman seldom out
lives all of her coquetry, and never be-
comes prude until she is obliged to-

A Sharp Boy.

AT late hour Friday night the po-
lice found boy about ten years old
sitting on the steps of the City Hall,
and when he had been stirred up he ex
planned:
my names Johnny Stewart, and
live near Grass Lake. The folks ent
home last night and left me on the Fair
Grounds without cent. That's lust
the sort of man dad is. If we don't
keep tight to his heels all the time
he'll leave us in strange town dead
broke.''
"And now what will you do?'
cpl make the old man sick.''
s.How?''
''Never you mind. I've got plan
laid to fix him for going back on me-
He walked down to the Central Sta
ton and slept in an armchair the rest
of the night. At an early hour in the
morning he walked into the American
Express Office and asked:
'.Do you run to Grass Lake?"
Eyes"
''Then ship me there G.. o. d.
After a few inquiries he was accepted,
and duly tagged, and when the wagons
went down he was among the parcels
to be carefully handled. To an in
quirer at the depot he answered:
dad is counted the sharpest man in
our county on a horse trade, but /
guess he isn't a great ways ahead of me
on this transaction. - Detroit Free

A BosToN happy thought is to turn
the abundance Of the apple crop to ac-
count for the poor people of that city.
Bags are sent to farmers who will CON
tribute, and the railroads give trans
portation free.
