A Peerless Social Club.

The Owashtanong Club, of Grand
Rapids, is one of the things that this
Michigan Chicago has to be proud of.
1t is sporting and social club, CON-
posed of the leading citizens of Grand
RAPIDS, and it is probably the most
generous hospitable organization of Its
kind IN the United States. 1t has AN
elegant club house at Reeds Lake
where 1t INDUCES III aquatic and other
sports IN summer, its apartments IN
town are simply grand, and the stran-
er within the gates OF Grand Rapids, If
ne is friend of any Of the Owashtas
nongs. or u guest of the city, is treated
like prince. Albeit, they sometimes
carry their good will so far as to neces-
state putting the victim of their atten-
tions TO bed, and then stealing his
"pants' IN order to get the chief OF
police to dragging the river after a
suicide, but the pants always
turn up before the victim wakes
up and the fun costs nothing.
The day before Thanksgiving this
club kept 80 delivery wagons gong
from daylight until midnight distribut-
ing Thanksgiving fare 10 the poor of
the city, over 2000 families being sup
piled with the wherewIthsl for a glor-
ious feast, and then TO cap the climax,
the club turned TO Thanksgiving Day
and bsnquetted 500 poor boys In great
style, waiting upon the urchins tnem-
selves, and we doubt not that the club
enjoyed the feast;ng of the boys far
more than they would have enjoyed a
pels nal banquet. To the well-fed
members of the Owashtanong Club, a
Thanksgiving feast, Of turkey, plum
pudding and cranberry sauce, is q great
deal of 8 bore, because it is no novelty,
but as waters at feast where many
tasted the glories of Thanksgiving for
the fr,t time, ah, who can describe the
fun they had, TO say nothing of the
pleasures of doing good. If there
were more social organizations like the
Owashtsnongs there would be far more
pleasures, good will and practical Chris
tlanlty in this world.-Petoskey Demo-

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.
To Transfer the Library TO the FIRST

Custodian Brenner, of the City Hall,
is recommending an important change
in the arrangement Of that building,
and there are several members Of the
Common Couacil who are favorably
impressed with his idea. II has become
apparent 70 nearly everyone who ire
quents the building that the city library
should have .uecn placed upon the flrst

IS continuous stream OF people both
coming and going from the opening 10
the closing hour Of the library, and for
an hour or tHo inamed sielv after the
schools are closed for the day, the balls
and the stairway are crowded. The ma
lority of the crowd - composed 0f

aud ten policemen would be insufficient
TO keep them quiet. This cesseless
travel creates more OF less of disturb

brought ID IN tns council and

mends that TIE entire library bs placed
on the lover foor, occupying the rooms
