A Detroit poultry buyer was in Ma
comb county few days ago, when, just
about dark, he encounted three stalwart
tramps, each one of whom had club.
AS they obstructed the road he was
forced to halt, when one of them said:
Being as you are Il well-known
philanthropist maybe you'd like to
donate couple of dollars toward an
orphan asylum.
ssWhere is it?''
.'Out near Chicago. don't Just re-
member the exact dimensions of the

their dead parients, but Iknow they is
sadly in need Of money. Amt it so?s

panions.

orphans ever see itp" asked the Detroiter.
'.Will they! Won't we proceed right
there and give it to 'em aforc Saturday

''If he does, said one of the others,

the orfans, and ] can't low nobody to
throw out hints that am a liar and q
hypocrite!''
And its the same with mer' added
the third.
The Detroiter handed over two silver
dollars, and the tramps received them
with:
"Now. that's right. When man
won't give to the orphans you can set
him down as too mean to live. On be-

How courtship Was Carried On in the
, Fifteenth Century.


Fifteenth Century.
There is q beautiful old-fashioned
wooing recorded in the journal Of
Elizabeth Woodville, previous to her
marriage With Lord Grey This lady
afterward become the Queen OF Ed

describes q certain blissfnl Monday
on which she first became acquainted
with Lord Grey The lady rose at
four in the morning and helped
Catherine, the dairy. maid, to milk
the COWS. Then she made poultice
for Rachel, another dairy maid, and
gave Robin penny to get pill from
the apothecary. At sir o'clock she
bres sktasted on bullock Of beef and
beer, "a little OF the staIest." At
seven o'clock she rode matter of six
miles on little pony without saddle
or bride. At ten o'clock she dincd,
and thus runs the entry in her diary:
went TO dinner. John Grey, most
comely youth--but what is that to
me? A yirtuous maiden should always
be uHder the direction Of Der parents.
John Grey ate but little and stole Z
great many tender looks at me. John
Grey likes white teeth; my teeth are
of q pretty good color, | think and
my hair is black as jet, though / say
it. and John, If mistake not, is Of
the same opinion. At eleven O'Clock
she walked in the fields with the COM
paDy. John Grey lifted her over
every stile. and twice squeezed my
hand with great yehemence. At
three in the afternoon farmers house
was burned down. John Grey pro-
posed subscription on the spot, and
gave four pounds himself. Never
saw him lock so conelyt as at that
moment" says the lady in her diary.
Four o'clock saw her at prayers, and
Immediately aferward she fed the
hogs and poultry At seven o'clock
she supped on baked goose-pie and
pork, roasted to rags" At 8 o'clock
she was in bed, and having a good
digestion, she dreams about her lover

To our Customers and
Friends.

The year 1885 was to us an espe-
cially agreeable one. Our trade was
better and more satisfactory than
ever, for which we return our thanks,
and promise that in the future, we
will as in the past, endeavor to merit
a continuation of the patronage so
literally extended to US.
We handle only the best of every
thing in our line and sell at bottom
prices.
This week we will commence to
handle dressed poultry, fresh from
first hands in Tennessee, and will re-
ceive on Friday evenings for the Sat
urdays trade, and will continue to
do so as long as the weather and de-
mand will warrant. We always try to
remember that a pleased customer is
a satisfied and steadfast one. Besides
choice groceries, we will sell Hay,
Grain and Feed. We are also agents
for two standard brands of Guano,
one of which We sold last year and
gave complete satisfaction. Give
them trial.

STORE!

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrOus wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took a
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day generous sum he'd sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one paws
Tor printers ink. the greater is his gain.
