The Secret of Michigan wit.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Mr.. Horr, the "Michigan wit" has given
away his secret. He said recently to an &C
quaintance who was congratulating him on
having attained a reputation for being funny.
"Well, to tell the truth'-as though this itself
was something xtraordinary-"I have passed
sleepless and weary nights getting up my
points. 1t is part OF our business to attract
attention. We must dot. My spontaneous
speeches are carefully prepared and memoir
lied; when the time comes fire them off as if
they were sudden revelations. 1t never fails
to bring down the house, and it gives me the
priceless boon --reputation." "But, Mr.. Horr,
it cannot be possible that your witty parts are
studied out" "Ah, my DEAR that shows
how innocent you are" replied the states
man. "They, too, are all arranged before
hand. You see. rshearse the question and
answer with some friend, and then when the
time comes we spring it on the house, and
members are convulsed with great laughter. !"

Notice to Water Consumers.

In view ofthe great quantity of water used
during the dry weather, the attention water
consumers is directed to the rules of this COM
pany forbidding the constant flow OF water for
irrigation or other purposes.
The abuse of the privilege Of irrigation by
sprinkling by many persons has become SO
fragrant and common that in future any viola
ton of the rules governing the use of water
by consumers, will necessitate the cutting of
of the water entirely from such consumers
without further notice.
