TIE DIFFERENCE.

Charles ). Hampton, the State game
warden under the so-called reform"
administration and editor of the Petcs-
key Independent-Demo gives the
last Legislature the following truthful
setting forth: "The recent Legislature
has proved a bitter disappointment 10
Michigan Democrats. 1t has followed
too nearly the example set by previous
Legislatures. IL wasted time which be-
long To the people. IL kept up that
diSgraceful and dishonest practice OF
weekly adjournments. It prolonged
the SESSION sixty days longer than nee
essary, for had both houses worked
earnestly and continuously they could
have done ali the work which was done
aud adjourned the first of May instead
of the first of July. IL the Michigan
Democracy wishes TO overcome the eff
feet of the blunders of the Legislature
of 1891 ,itmust openly and unmistakably
repudiate such fools rs Senator Smith,
and such scoundrels as Senator Hol-
comb. who have disgraced the party
and imperlled its chances in 1892. T"
But the sycophansic Detroit Free Press
swallows the Legislature and all its
rottennsss, and pronounces il very
good. Such 10 the difference between
the two papers.

EXCURSIONS.

In another column OF this issue are
presented some views OF Ar. c. ).
Hartman, which are certainly OF vital
importance 10 the retail merchants OF
Grand Rapids. The idea of Mr.. Hart
man IS certainly good one. IL has
been seized upon not only by Detroit,
but by many other cities and has IN
vAriably been successful. Grand Rap
IDS has railroad facilities which will
enable her TO reach IN every direction
and y series of excursions could easily
be arranged, covering period OF sev-
erai weeks aud reaching all what may
be termed tributary country. without
having any conflict as to dates or IN
terests.
This IS what is generally termed
"the dul! season" of the year. but that
1t is such is mainly due 10 the fact that
business men generally have come to
expect light trade during the summer
months and make no especial effort to
prevent rs recurrence. The matter OF
buying depends largely upon the mer-
chant At any time and when the warm
months come and the merchant stops
short in his usual and at any other
season characteristic push, the people
wait until he arouses from his lethargy
and notifies them of his awakening.
So It is in outside trade. Grand
Rapids Will not secure 1t by waiting for
II To drop IN. The day OF such sur
prises IN mercantile life belong 10 the
historic past. IL must be sought If
wanted. The second city in the State
has many attractions TO entertain visi-
tors and thousands of them could be
brought here during August by proper
and dillgent effort.

The herd numbers about seventy and

shy in the summer but in the winter.
when fed upon hay, they can be in
spectcd at tolcrably close quarters.
They have certain points Of the buffalo
which show in the head and hump, but
their horns are considerably longer and
sharper. No person has been known to
have been attacked or injured by them.
They are of small stature, not being
much larger than good-sized Jersey
cow, but their heads and chests are GER
tainly very finc. 1t is great pity that
no trace can be found of their past his

Where Fly speck Made n Difference Of

In one of our large establishments

occurred few days ago an apparent

a matter of three thousand pounds Of
scrap iron. The clerks Of the depart
ment were set to work to unravel the

they were compelled to give up the
task and pronounce It beyond their

several days.
Several days later, says the Phila-

to keep himself in practice In addition
by footing up column Of figures on q

Bending his energies to the task, he

he came to the fourth column he could
not make it agree with the footings

Tho Experience OF One Mother In Raising
. Philanthropist.
Albcrt's mother had to count her PEN
nies carefully. for she is conscientious
little housewife. and her husbands sal
ary is far from magnificent, says the
New York Tribune. Her ideal virtue
Is benevolencc, however, and she tries
70 instill it into her boy, both by pre-
ccpt and example. One day an uncle
gave Albert his first quarter Of a dollar
to spend on anything he liked. He
went out to squander 1t. and in the
evening his mother, who had been
wondering for hours if the habit she had
been trying to cultivate in her little
boy had begun to bear fruit yet. said to
him:
albert, dear, you need not tell mo
unless you like what you did with all
that money. but should like to know,
my boy, if you do not mind? Did any
part of il go to lessen the sorrow or
tighten the burden of some poor person
less fortunate than yourself? l am
almost sure it did"
Albert hung his head a minute, and
his mothers heart sank, but presently
he said in low voice, as il ashamei to
tell of his own good conduct: Mother.

an. who sits all day long on the side

mother. "Yon will grow up to be a
great philanthropist, and all the world
will know that humble little I culti-
vatcd the habit of benevolencc in your
heart when it was tender and young.
Won't You, my boy?"
"Yes. ma" said the dutiful Albert.
Pennies and nickels came much more
plentifully in Albert's path after this
than they had ever come before, and
most of them found their way TO the
ragged woman who sat On the curb
near the schoolhouse. Albert seemed
TO take deep interest in the welfare Of
this woman, and his mother determined
after awhile to teach Albert another
lesson In benevolence, that IL il the
duty of a pbilanthropist 70 find ont
whether the object of his charity be a
worthy ono. Albert opposed this idea.
| He was sure that she was poor and
| lame, and she looked sick. That was
enough. The thought that she might
be drunlSard or an imposter seemed
| to shock him, so that his mother do
cidcd to investigate the woman's case
| by herself. But she had many calls
upon her time. and several months
| elapsed before she found an opportunity
| To do so.
She gave Albert Eve cents. and he de-
| clared his intention of giving three OF
| them to the old woman. Then she fol-
| lowed him to school at distance, and
as she approached the building she saw
little knot of children surrounding
some object. which she soon found tn
be a ragged won IN sitting on the curb

tend him many thanks, and wish him

Since Mr.. Horton has made a start.
it seems others are trying to get up

wrong
Nevertheless Mr.. Horton we hope
you will get there just the same.
Don't get discouraged. 1t is a pity
that some of our so called intelligent
people sit and watch, until some one
attempts to do something that is
elevating, and a little money in it,
then they jump in themselves and
try to push the one who has done the
