DESIGNING UNCLE JOHN.

were badly educated, and all owing to
Uncle John. We children called him
uncle. The real fact is that he was our
great uncle, and my father was entitled
to the reversion Of 5000 on his death.
1t was like the house that Jack built; II
it hadn't been for Uncle JOHN and the
reyersion, my father would have consent
ed to work like the rest Of mankind. If
he had submitted to the common lot, l
should have had a proper education; and,
If had had proper education, my fate
might have been different and happier.
My great uncle never did anything for
any Of us.
My father used to go to see him oc-
casionally; and when he came back he
was always depressed for several days.
"Uncle John is looking younger than
ever; / shall never come into that
money, my boy" he would say to me in
q melancholy tone. slow diet and hope
deferred, my boy, have made wreck Of
me.p (Tle might have added "laziness
and whisky and water.') Hell outlive
me, my boy; I'm sure he will. But
you've got fine constitution, and, bar
accidents, you'll come into it after all. !"
And 50 in due course my father died
and ! was left an orphan. On his DEATH
bed he gave me my Uncle Johns adj
Dress sits all ! can do for you, Joseph,
my boy" be said, 'and it isn't much"
And as sosn as the breath was out Of my
fathers body the landlord came in and
seized the furniture; and /, having no
other home in the world, proceeded to
seek my only living relative, Uncle
John. He received my father once a
year, as has been stated; but, though !
had never seen him, knew all about
him. Hes all hair and spectacles, my
father had said, '.and he wears cap
with flaps to IT,"
Now, some six or seven years prior to
my fathers death, Uncle John had mar
ried his cook, When my father heard
of that event be was overjoyed. That's
the last straw, Joseph, my boy" my
father had said to me; '.that'll settle him.
Why, she's a regular horse grenadier. "
Ny father was out in his calculations.
On his next visit to my Uncle John he
declared that the old man was gaining
flesh,' and then he quarreled with the
horse grenadier OF course it was over
the annual e5 note, which was all that
my father ever succeeded in extracting
from his relative. The fact is that it was
to the cooks interest to keep Uncle John
alive, for besides the 5000 thai was to
come to us on his death there was moth
/ ing but his furniture and his savings.
As Uncle Johns widow the cooks posi-
ton would be preearious one; but with
one bedridden old man to keep out Of
GS5o a year, as Uncle Johns wife, the
cook had very good bargain.
1t was fine morning in June when ]
screwed my courage up to the sticking
point, and III the interests of my three
sisters, whom had TO keep on thirty
shillines a week, determined to call on
my Uncle John and try and extract tht
annual '.fiver.n My Uncle Johns house
was in Araminia terrace, Hoxton.

disturb my bedridden uncle; slatternlJ

A Suspicious Outfit.

While perambulating the woods about
six miles south of O'Brien, couple of
weeks ago, Mr.. d. J. Norton, of this
place, discovered in an abandoned
homesteader's shanty, crude outfit for
manufacturing bogus coins. The efforts
of the would-be counterfeiter were
evidently confined to the making of sill
yer dollars, but appearances would in
dictate that he was not an expert in the
business, nor bowling success as a
novice. Mr.. Norton picked up two
or three ladies and a quantity of metal
in which the operator had attempted to
melt glass, and some pieces of plaster
of paris with impressions of silver dol
lars thereon, which had evidently been
designed for use as mold. Mr.. Nor
ton has the whole kit on exhibition in
his drug store.

Hon. Amos Townsend, OF Cleveland,
J. NJ. 'Longyear of Marquette. Hon.
James M. Turner, of Lansing, Hon. s.
L. Smith, of Detroit, and J. H. Seager,
of Houghton, have been in the county
several days this week looking over the
Michigan Slate quarry and other pro-
perties in which they are heavily inter-
ested in the vicinity of Huron bay.
The gentlemen are very non-committal
as to the purposes of their visit, but
we have reason to believe that they in
tend to close out their interests there as
soon as they can dispose OF them to
advantage. 1t is thought the slate
quarry will not be wrought again under
the present company. Unfortunately
for Mr.. Turner and all concerned the
slate quarry has not proved very
profitable investment.
