shiawasse County Teachers Assoc:-
alton.

The OwOssO High School room was filed
Saturday with schoOlmastcrs and school
mans. There were teachers from every
township, district and from the graded
schools. Supt. Plunkett came from across
the Clinton county line, and Pattengill of
Lansing, just rushed over to OwossO to see
how many teachers there were who lived
without the Moderator, and to get acquant-
cd with the teachers he had never met.
Away up in the front rank of Shiawassee
county teachers, were Swain, Bates, Grif-
fifth, Tedman, Brandt, Gee, Bumps, Nc
Kone, Packer and others, who were all
bubbling over with educational enthusiasm.
The ladies were there by an immense ma
were some very pretty faces. A little
after 0:30, President Mcbride called the as
semblage to order. Rev. II. II. Davies
offered prayer, music was rendered by
and Misses Dunbar and Buckminster, pian-
ist, Miss COmstOck. B. &. Hall read a pa
per OH teaching primary arithmetic which
caused some discussion. The duett by
Misses Finch and Patterson after intermis-
sion quite captivated the audience. Prof
Swain gave an instructive and lucid talk on
percentage and bank discount The re-
mainder of the forenoon was devoted to
business matters and listening to the report
of the committees on revision of the cOnsti-
tuition. The afternoon session began with
music. This was followed by the election
of officers. President Mcbride declined
reelection, but was compelled to accept
as the result of the ballot. A. s. Tedman,
of Perry was elected Vice President Miss
Lou Satteree Sec. and +. +. Gee Treas.
The papers by Mrs. Gould, Miss Kemp,
Miss Wilcox. Miss Cudney and Miss Fuller
were very instructive and listened to with
interest. The question box brought forth
some ideas from the graded school teachers
that were instructive to the association. i
This feature of the days work was becoming
interesting when the President said that the
session Wust close at o'clock, thus short
ening tl6 discussion. A vote of the society i
showed that a two days session would be i
regarded with favor. This meeting was in
every way pronounced success

CHICAGO, November IA move
wager on the result of the Presiden.
tial election made at South Chicago
two weeks ago was settled yesterday.
A number or 6 uests of a hotel were
about equally divided on the political
question. In conversation one day
the subject of meal of crow was dis.
cussed, and the result was that a wag-
er was made that if Harrison was
elected the Democratic boarders should
eat mess of crow, and that in case of
Cleveland's success the Republicans
were'to dine on the same succulent
bird. One dozen crows and dozen
jacksnipes were purchased, and at din
ner yesterday the Republicans and
Democrats faced each other across the
table.
At the appointed time the walters
brought in the crows, which had been
roasted and in all respects nicely pre-
pared. Amid a continued roar of
laughter on the part of the Republican s
and their friends who had gathered to
see the fun, the victims ate with good
grace their meal. In the meantime
the other side of the table feasted on
jacksnipe.

| How Mr.. Bowser managed to get q
grease spot between his shoulder
blades, flour on his hair and baking
powder in his hind pocket I do not
know, but probably it was while he
was rolling that mass out. He didn't
trife with the mixing-board, but used
the spot where he had pounded the
beef. I heard the mass of dough fall
to the floor three different times with
a dull thud, but he wasn't "a bit dis
couraged. He got it rolled out at last,
and cut some biscuits with a teacup,
| and presently the oven door shut on
the tins. He had just forty biscuits.
By this time the steak had burned
black on both sides, and he sat it down
behind the stove and prepared the tea.
To two quarts of water he used one
teaspoonfull. Ten minutes later he
summoned me to the banquet. He
had the table cloth on criss-cross, the
butter on pie-plate, the cake in the
cheese dish, and his beef-steak was
placed in the centre of the table on
pie-tin.
"Anything wrong 2'' he asked, as
sat down.
"Oh, no /; you have done splendid
ly."

never looked so homelike before"

I didn't taste, but he did. l was

full. He would not give in, however,
but crowded a whole biscuit down and |
pretended to enjoy it.

it suspiciously.
"Wouldn't you Perhaps you
want it all yourself"
'Idon't think'it is properly cooked. -
Well, dol If that isn't nice
steak then we never had one in this
house."
He ate at least quarter of pound,
though every morsel choked him. I
offered to wash up the dishes, but he
put me out Of the kitchen, and went
ahead. He washed everything togeth-
or in a -four pan, wiped them on what
ever be could find loose, and it was a
week before we got the pantry in order
again. That night, after Dragging of
what breakfast he was going to get,
Mr.. Bowser was taken with chills and
