shown patterns for suit OF clothes

One OF the ticket agents OF the Mich
igan Central railroad, at certain town
in Canada. was nd airy. independent
young man. who began work with the
idea that he ran the whole line. 1.-The
boys had numerous complaints against
him, and more than once he would
have caught 1t In tho ear had he not
been fenced In where he could not be

happened to meet there as we came in
on cross roads. and we soon got on to
the fact that tho general manager and
two or three other officials Of the road
heads together and put up u job. We
all had thousand-mile tickets. but each
OF the six went to the window in turn
and bought q ticket for tho nearest sta.
tien east or west. When nj! had boon
served tho first went back TO the win

which hung over the fireplace. The

"You never see her. my little man."

The lady knclt down on tho floor be-
side the boy. and. taking his little face
In her trembling hands, looked In
strange way into his beautiful eyes and
said:
Tell me who you nre, child; who is
Granny. and what is your name ?"
Granny, sho lives out on the pike

OF me. but she says she ant no kin Ter

Enoch Estell My God! exclaimed
the old lady.
By and by, before Enoch knew what
was happening, there was hurryinp
OF servants coming and going. and the
old lady was telling him he must 20
with her in the carriage to where
Granny lived.
He waited without on the stems
while the sweet lady went in TO talk TO
Granny. He could not think what they
could be talking about; he did not
know what 1t all meant. Prese ntly he
saw Granny go into the little room
and get tho picture and letters which
she had told him were TO be his some
day, and the 'sweet lady" cried when
she saw them. She was crying still
when she came out, and putting her
arms about his neck told him he was to
GO and live with her. She told him
then, but he did not understand 1t till
afterward. that the beautiful lady
whom he oremembered was his mother
and her daughter. whom she had not

married and went away.

Iron Ore in an Electrical Storm.

The ship Edward, from Harve,
with a cargo of iron ore, encountered
a terrible electrical storm in the AT
lantic recently, lasting for several
hours. The vessel was continuously
enveloped in lightning, which pros
trated on the deck eleven seamen and
deprived them of sight for nearly half
day. The second officer and the
boatswain were also dashed to the
deck and received serious injury, and
the former was speeches. for five
hours. Three "balls of fire" explod-
ed with a tremendous report over the
main rigging, scattering flaming frag-
ments over the ship, and driving the
remaining members of the crew in
terror into the forecastle. From 3 A.
NJ. until 7 P. NJ. the captain and mate
were the only persons on board capa-
bic of doing any work, and on them
devolved the task of keeping the YES
sci before the easterly gale. The cap
tain states that all on board the ship
were trembling with fear during the
time the storm lasted, which was the
most terrible he ever witnessed, and
he adds that no doubt the iron ore
with which the ship was laden acted
as a magnet to attract the lightning.

AlPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
Largest Circulation. and Best Adver'
Using Medium in Alpena County.
Wednesday, Jtpe IL. 1889.

During the late presidential cam
paign many of the protected manu-
facturers had pay envelopes which
contained printed remarks about the
protective tariff maintaining the
wages of laborers, and many labor
err voted the protection ticket because
he believed it would keep up his
wages and give him plenty of work.
1t is suggested that the protected
manufacturer, when he notifies his
employees that he is going to reduce
their wages, and the reduction has
been very frequent since the protee-
ton party elected their nominee for
president, that the same kind of pay
envelopes be used. 1t would give the
laboring man another idea as to how
protection maintains wages. The tax
remains, but as the laborer's wages
become reduced, he has less money
with which to pay his protective taxes.

A New Industry.

There has been lively work at the
Wilson planning mill recently, owing
to the introduction of new business
in addition to the regular planning mill
business. This new industry is that
of making box shocks for ship
ment. The boxes are made complete
at the factory except mailing. The
boards are planed, tongued and grow
ed, cut to the required sizes and pack
ed. The pieces of boards comprising
the various sides, ends, top and bot
toms, are fitted together, but are not
nailed. For instance, the side of one
size of box, when the pieces are put
together, is about four feet square.
Four of these sides will be fastened
together, forming one bundle for ship.
ment. In that shape they are called
shocks. The end pieces of the box
shocks have strips nailed around the
outside edge. If the present expert
ment proves success, the business
will be carried on extensively, the
proper machinery will be obtained,
and regular box factory established
here. We hope it will be a success,
because it would give more employ
ment to citizens, and thus create con-
siderable more business that would
tend to increase the prosperity of the
CITY.
