FAMOUS FARMER BOYS.
iiiastrious Men Who Were Raised Upor
 Parma

Farms.
 There are some people foolish enough .o iaugh at the homcly virtues of farm life. They are fortunately few and they are fortunately growing fewer put IL IS well sometimes to look at the list of great men who came up from the farm-not all of them, for that would fill thousand volumes, but some or the most able ones that flash into mlnd in moment. Nearly three fourlhs Of the men who have been chosen by the people for the great offices of the nation are men who were early familiar with wooded hills and cultivated fields, says the Kansas City llnes, for example: Lincoln, Grant, narheld. llamlin, Greeley, Tildan, Cleveland, lla. son, Hayes, Blaine and many others almost equally conspicu- ous m current events or living memory. Among journalists, Henry Watterson spent his early life in rural Kentucky and Murat lIalstead was born and lived on farm in Ohio. w. II. Wander bilt was born in small New Jersey town and early engaged in the business of ship chandlery; Russell Sage was born in a New York village; Jay Could spent his early years on his fathers farm in New York state. lngersoll first saw light in a country town in New York, Talmage in a New Jersey village and David Swing, though born in Gin cinnati, passed his hoyhood on an Ohio farm. Whittier and Howells spent their youth in villages, the fccmat dividing his time between farm employment and his studies. Follow the list out your self and see how long it will become.

 He was an intelligent Chinamau, and he spoke English well. He had accu- mulatcd enough money to keep him in comfort for the balance of his days, and he was going back to China to enjoy it. l asked him, says writer in the New York Herald, why he didn't stay in America,
 'B2cause l can't" he replied bitterly: "bccaUse they won't let me. am an educated man, have the feelings of a gentleman, l am imbued with the spirit of modern progress: 1 believe in the steamship and the railroad and elec- tricity, and all the modern phases of iudustry--in word, prefer America to China, But here l find myself h2mned in by an iron wall of |, niudicc.

It causes all doors where might seek intellectual recreation to l'r closed against me: it causes the fin. ger of scorn to be pointed at me; it @tampS me as a heather, as a parasite: u~ man whose presence acts as a Light and a curse upon the country. llc iIlSuIldll' tue AtNlldii, ludN come here and begin at the lowest round of the social ladder and climb to the top.

He is industri- ous, he doesn't get drunk, he doesn't shoot, he doesn't stab, he doesn't be- come paupcr, and yet he finds every body hates him; everybody despises him; nobody wants him.
 And yet" continued the Chinaman, s,oruiully, they wonder that when we Gli;e money we go back to China am going back to China because there shall be respected, while here I am leGp;sed; because there shall amount to something, while here if I should live to be hundred l could never amount to anything"

To the honorable Common Council

We, the citizens of East Grand Rap
ids. expecting soon 10 become part of
your commonwealth, ask your honora-
ble body Ia grant TO the Reeds Lake
Electric Railway Company, Il franchise
into your city.
Whereas. There is now IN this section
of Grand Rapids township lying direct
ly east OF Easiest, population of about
seven thousand people, and
Whereas, We deem 1t of vast impor-
tance that we have proper street rail
way facilities for our personal conyen-
lence, and
Whereas, We have constantly been
ignored by the old street railway COM
pany, although promise after promise
has been made by them to extend their
lines into our territory; and year after
year our Town Board has granted fran
cnIses TO them, all 10 no purpose; the
old company hasheld the francni ses on
our highways continually for five l5)
years or more, purposely to shut out all
competition; and during all these years
regardless OF their promises, they have
failed TO Go a DAYS work, or 10 oxpend
a dollar, toward the same.
therefore,, At a meeting of the citl-
zens of said section, be 1t
Resolved, That we earnestly request
and demand at the hands of the Com
mon Counci! OF the city of Grand Rap
ids that Il franchise be granted TO the

chlse at once.

tcrests Of the public and the interests OF

A JUROR TALKS ,
Concerning the Dcyo Forgery Case, and
How the Jury Stood.

The jurors III the Deyo forgery case
were pretty evenly divided as TO the
guilt or innocence of the defendant,
and each side was firm in It's CONVICTION.
said one of them to the TELEGRAM
HERALD yesterday: ave couldn't
have agreed If we had remained out
thirty-six years. The first ballot stood
seven for acquittal and five for convlc-
ton, and after tina. il stood six to SIX
for long time. Finally two of the
Jurors went over to the acquittal side,
and although one ballot showed nine 20
three in favor OF aceuittal, the eight 10
four combination stood to the bitter
end. | think II was a mistake to allow
those jurors who took part IN the first
trial To sit IN the second trial. The
court charged them not to consider the
fact. presented IN the first trial IN con-
nectIon with the case, but I know they
did do so. Oae of them said 20 me:
This case is exactly Ike the other, and
we all agreed to an acqulttal in that.
II would be inconsistent If we should
vote to convict hIm on this charge |
think the adjournment OF the court
gave the jurors chance TO talk too
much, aud that may have lad an IN
tiuence upon their minds

FUNNY Demands

There's broadly humorous side to the
book trade. The fun is generally furnished
by the ridiculous mistakes people make in
the names of books. a lady sent her maid
one day for Annie Thomas novel of He
Cometh Not. She Said" but the daInsel
asked for 'He Combeth Not His Head"
The little boy of n prominent divine went
10 a shop to procure for his father a relig-
ious book called THE Hour Which Com
eth" but he inquired for The Hen Which
Croweth."
st the time that Thomas Hardv's clever
novel, ~ Pair OF Blue Eyes" was at the
height of its popularity, a young assistant
in booksellers, who was as new TO the
business as be was slow Of comprehension,
when lady came in and said to him, very
eagerly and inquiringly. Have you "A
Pair of Blue Eyesr" blushingly STAN
mered out, "No, miss; my eyes are black"
One day an errand boy brought up from
the cellar a trap containing large rat,
just as a well known society belle, wishing
to look at one OF Anthony Troilope's most
popular novels. said 10 the new assistant:
Il want to see What VIII He Do with
Itp"
''VeTy well. miss" was the reply; 'if you

look out of the window you will see him
