CorresD0ndenee II THE IxIE6EAh-
ALLK0As, Feb. zL-In the Detroit papers
Of Saturday paragraph appeared announe-
ing the determination Of several Lansing
gentlemen To urge Gen b. ID. Pritehard's
name for regent Of the university. providing
he didn't Kick over the traces" This an
nOuneement was the first intmatlOn the
general had that he had been mentioned for
the place, and be has stated that he positive
Is Il not candidate, and will not under any
circumstances seek the nomination for that
or any other Office. When asked squarely
II he would decline protfered nomination,
be did not give direct reply, but candldly
stated that the Office of regent must be nlled
BY some man. that the board OF regents was
al important body, and that IN his opinion
no man should refuse 10 act upon II unless
he was compelled 10 do so, or failed 10 be-
elected Bat he reiterated his statement
that be did not seek the position, and that
he would much prefer not 10 be nominated.
But the General Is not always advised OF the
intentions of his friends. as Is proved by his
nomination for Land Commissioner few
years ago, TO which office he was elected.
When the nominating ballot was east the
General was IN Kalamazoo pu-
chasing some building material. Shortly
after the news reached kalamazoo friend
met him, ia his shirt sleeves, carrying some
SASH and the friend stopped and heartily
congratulated him. In bewilderment was
the salutation acknowledged, and IN "A few
minutes two other gentlemen stepped up
and offered congratulations, and the further
mystltied recipient said: well, gentlemen,
don't know what it's all about. but if you
will kindly inform me, l will do what Is
necessary. He had not even known that
his name would be proposed. In the pres
ent instance he does not even know To whom
to attribute his proposed candidacy. In
this same connection may be related the de
cision OF another Allegan prominent citizen
when honors were proposed for him. Judge
Dan j. Arnold, who is the subject of a boom
launched by the Allegan Journal and Iflb-
tspe, says that he Is not and will not be a
candidate for Supreme Court honors.-
Yesterday morning Judge Arnold and other
court officials assembled at the Court House.
The old barracks was warmed mp, and all
law machinery made ready to start, when
some one remembered that ii was legally
Feb. 22, and a hurried adjournment was
made till this morning.

The Very Funny Mistake of French
Woman.
san Francisco Argonaut.l

san Francisco Argonaut.l
The numerous instances of mistaken
identity on record are constantly receiving
new additions. There is an amusing ac-
count of a French lady who was very ieal-
ons of her husband and determined to
watch his movements. On one occasion.
when be told her he was going to YER
sailles, she followed him, keeping him in
sight until she missed him in a passage
leading to a railway station. Looking
about her for a few minutes she saw a man
coming out of glove shop with a rather
over dressed lady. Making sure, from the
distance, that this man was her hus-
band, she came suddenly up, and,
without a word of warning gave
him three OF four boxes on the ear. The
instant the gentleman turned round she
discovered her mistake, and at the same
time caught sight of her husband, who had
merely called at tobacconists and was
crossing the street. There was nothing
for 10 but to faint In the arms of the gem
tleman whose ears she had boxed, while
the other lady moved away to avoid a
scene. The stranger, astonished TO find
an unknown lady in his arms, was further
startled by gentleman seizing him by the
eoh1r and demanding what he meant by
embracing that lady. "Why, she boxed
my ears and then fainted," exclaimed the
aggrieved gentl eman, "She is my wife,"
shouted the an3ry husband, land would
never have struck you without a cause.v
Aud worse than angry words would prob
ably have followed had not the cause of
the whole Misunderstanding recovered
sufficiently to explain how it happened.

Bath Tubs for Farm Houses.

a correspondent of the Boston Journal
writes: Not many farm houses have a con-
venient bathroom, nor is it convenient to
arrange one in many old houses without
more expense than the owner or tenant is
willing to expend. Shall tell you how
one house is arranged not far from where l
am writing? The house was so small for the
family that there was no room to spare for q
bath room, bat it fortunately had a good
large kitchen. Upon one side of this kitchen
stands the bath tub. cased in with pine
boards. Above this casing is movable
board six or eight inches wide, and the
whole is covered by smoothly-planed hard
wood board or boards hung by hinges
down over the tub il forms q kitchen table
about seven feet long and about four feet
wide, and those not in the secret would not
suspect what is beneath il. When
the table is turned up and the
movable boards taken out the bathing tub is
of convenient height. A lead pipe
csrries the water OFF through the same chan
mel that takes il from the kitchen sink. Here,
by the kitchen fire, the members Of the
family can take their bath before retiring
for the night, ard the delight OF the younger
children ~ tub in which they can lie
down and splash 70 their hearts content, Is,
as their mother nssnres me, something worth
