preston, but their feet are homely
enough, large, ill.shaped and ugly.
Remote as they are from their ma,
tive wildy, they seem to flourish
we'll, and the venture begun al
first under somewhat doubtful cir.
cumstanCes, is turning out a sue.
Cessful undertaking.
These immense birds are kept in
corrals, the Spanish word for yards
Of Enclosure, one male and two fe.
males occupying a place together.
A common board fence, higher than
the ordinary, surrounds each cor.
raj, and divides them. There is a
space or open lane between the
pens-a driveway for teams, and Ia
carry food to the birds. They eat
a wagon load Of shells in one day,
beside q large amount Of coarse
food, vegetables, Alfalfa or clover
grass, etc. Tho cost Of each is ST..
0O0, and their weight is from 800
to 400 pounds. They lay seventy.
Eve eggs each year, each egg val.
ued at 500. Their feathers arc
plucked twice a year; they are on
the tail and wings Of the bird, the
body being nearly bare. Each
plucking averages $500. The eggs
weigh two.and a.half pounds. The
male is black, the tail and wing
feathers being white, and the fe.
male a grayish-white. II requires
four strong men to hold one Of
these pets while plucking The
plumes. 1t seems a cruel process,
and no wonder the birds resist SC
hard.
They are savage and dangerous
if attacked, and can only be handl,
ed after a sock or stocking leg has
been drawn over the head. They
drive them into a corner, and slip
quietly as possible behind them to
draw the covering rapidly on,
Some feathers are pulled out easily.
Others are cut, and one has to un.
lerstand his bushes to prevent
the bird from bleeding to death,
They cannot fly or jump, but can
keep pace with the aoetest horses.
When the eggs are to be gathered a
Chinaman is called into the arena.
The ostrich seems to have taken u
fierce dislike 10 the smile Of the
heather Chinee, and is SO taken up
with his efforts to attack him that
men slip in unnoticed and take
possession of the eggs. The life Of
an ostrich extends beyond that Of
human beings, and averages q hun
dred years. The plumes can be
purchased singly by visitors, the
price depending upon the length
and thickness of them They have
to be afterward cleaned and dyed
No dogs or horses are allowed in

mortal Day at 0 a. m. sharp, to take part in
the exercises of the day.
The Kalamazoo base ballists defeated the
Lawton End nine Saturday, by score of -
to 6. They say they are not anxious to
tackle the Lawton seniors.
The many friends of George Comstock at
this place, will be pleased to hear that he has
been promoted to the position of train mas
ter of the Bay City and Jackson divisions of
the M. G. X. X.
The graduating exercises of the Lawton
high school take place this Thursday even

year are Miss Lottie Campbell and Miss
Florence Tabor. Others will take part in
the exercises, and the graduates request us
to say that reserved seats will be provided
for the Alumni who are requested to be
present.
Our village board, which is trying to stop
all sport aud make paradise of Lawton,
for paltry two dollars, licensed a swindler
to carry on his nefarious game on our streets.
1t was the same old swindle, where the ope
rator wraps up $50 bill in small package
over the left-and a man pays So bite.
He only had two victims here, who each de-
posted V and received in return two cop
per pennies and two brass rings. One laughs
over the matter and says it was done pretty
slick. while the other talks about the 5000
he claims to have drawn. Yes, we know "the
moon is made of green cheese" but the rest
of the suckers have gone up stream.
Owing to the cold and rainy day, but a
small crowd witnessed the disastrous defeat
of the Paw Paw ball tossers by the Lawtons
last week Tuesday. The Lawtons expected
to get beat, being unable to get five of their
men, but notwithstanding this they picked
up outsiders and in five inning game laid
the Paw Paws III the shade by score of 20
TO 8. The same club played at the Paw Paw
fair grounds Monday last the score resulting
to 3 in favor of Paw Paw. 1t was, no
doubt, the best and most exciting game
ever witnessed in the county, and the first
game the Lawtons have lost in five years.

Dear lady, there is probably no use telling
you that fashionable life in great city is a
rough one on your beauty. Late hours, loss

by and by shorn of those beautiful tresses
which drew lovers around you in other years.
