times as large - easily as you do this one"
"Quite," said Mr.. Crandall.
"Then what do you say to my coming round
tomorrow ct nine with my man9"
THAT would suit me all right"
Mr.. John Crandall walked rome a very much
elated man that night
"Wel, DOCTOR" aid the patient, in q very weak
voice, "what is the verdict"
alt Is just | said before. You will have TO
take rest. You know ! predicted this break
down"
Cant you give me something that will fix me
up temporarily? 1t s almost imperative that I
should stay on just now"
OF course 1t is IL has been so for the last five
years. You forget that in that time you have been
fixed up temporarily several occasions. Now, /
will get you round 20 that you travel In few
days, and then insist on sea voyage and quiet
time in Europe. You will have to throw of bust
ness cares entirely. There no Ifs or butts about
it."
"Look here, doctor. | don't see how l am to
leave at this time. have been as bad as this a
dozen times before. You know that. | am just
little tagged out, and when go back to the Office
can take things easier. You see, we have big
South American contract on hand that am very
anxious about New business, you know"
Il suppose you could draw your check for q
pretty large amount, Mr.. Crandall."
"Yes, can. IL money can bridge the thing over,
can fix it."
"Well, money can't What | wanted to say was
that II, instead of a good bank account, you had
overdrawn your account about much the bank
would stand, would you be surprised If your check
were not honored?"
mo, wouldn't"
well, that Is your state physically. You have
overdrawn your vitality account You've got TO
make deposit. You must take vacation"
"Any other time, doctor, I'll go sure
this contract is off. Upon my word will You
needn't shake your head A vacation just now
would only aggravate the difficulty. l couldn't
take moments peace knowing this South Ameri-
can business might be bungled I'd worry myself
to death"
The funeral of Mr.. Crandall was certainly one of
the most splendid spectacles the city had for
many q day. The papers all spoke highly of the
qualities of the dead manufacturer whose growth
had been typical of the growth of the city. The
eloquent minister spoke of the nscrutable ways of
Providence in cutting off man in his prime and
in the very height Of his usefulness" Detroit Free

Chicago Opera-House.

The Chicago opera house, entirely free from the
effects Of the recent inundation, opened Mon
day night, December Path. While ii was closed for
week the management entirely redecorated the
house. and have made it the handsomest theatre in
the city to- day, far decoration is concerned
The style of decoration Is the modern ROmanesque;
and the retiring rooms, foyer, boxes etc, are mar
wells of decorative skill and taste.
The piece with which the house was opened was
Kiralfy's "Water Queen" which made an instanta-
neous hit.
The next attraction at the Chicago opera-house
Is the Crystal Slipper" which will come on JAN
uary 7th. The engagement will be q limited one,
and this will be its last representation in Chicago
the management OF the Chicago opera house being
hard at work upon its success. The Crystal Slip
per-" since leaving Chicago, has been presented in
cities it has won the admiration of the entire pIes
and the theatres have not been large enough to hold
the audiences that have hocked to see 1t. 1t will
be revived at the Chicago opera-house with all the
beauties of the original production. The company
will be precisely the same that which gave the
piece here last summer. Little Itch, the dancing
wonder, is again q member of the company, and
will come. The ballets will be led by Miles.

LETTER FROM

- MERRY OAKS, Nov. 7th, 1889.
MR. EDIToR:-The Alliance at this
place is not making much noise in the
world, in fact it has never been ''writ
ten up for the press, but we can
boast of as "true grit" and earnest,
energetic Alliance men in this vi
cinity as can be found in the State.
Our Alliance now numbers 80
members, and although many of the
farmers of this section have had a
hard struggle for the past two or three
years to "keep the wolf from the
door," we are determined to stand
by the Alliance in all it's enterprises
and undertakings for the elevation of
the tillers of the soil. We will make
q liberal contribution to the Business
Agency Fund, and I do hope the
membership throughout the State
viii rally to the support of this en-
terprise, and place our Business
Agent in a position so that he can
really accomplish something for US.
The Alliance is already a power in
the land as a social and political re-
form movement, and our business in
terests should be no longer neglected.
The cotton crop in this section is
short, 1 think, at least so. per cent.
Much of the corn on fiat land was
also ruined by the excessive rains.
But people are dropping cotton and
tobacco to some extent, which is a
hopeful sign; they are sowing larger
crops of small grain, which is also
good, and besides their guano bills
are much lighter than usual, which is
best of all. And right here [ would
like to write a whole chapter about
home made manures, but visions of
the waste basket loom up before me
and / know / mustn't, so I will close
for the present. Success to you in
your noble efforts in behalf of the
farmers, and may you be richly re-
warded for your services.
Very Truly Yours,
J. e. JOHNSON.

Therefore, let us as business men aid and shield the
the farmers whom / consider the backbone Of

likely to retard their progress.
