You know how easily farmers
horses frighten at the electric
cars and other unusual sights of d
city. They do the sans in Jack
son, Mich. Up there the busi-
ness men leased block of vacant
ground, built fence about it and
sheds inside something after the
manner Of sheds at the fail
grounds. A man was hired to
care for the place. This Was all
for the accommodation of farmers
teams and was free Of expense t.
them. The farmers could drive
in there aud find a place for stab
ling their horses where they would
be out OF the way Of the weather
and iu DO danger of being fright
ened THEN, too, it furnished a
place where the families could
meet and eat their lunches secure
from the public gaze. The result
WAS mauy came to Jackson to

From the Church of the Cove
nant to Oak Hill cemetery where
the interment WAS made, beside
the grave of his favorite son, Wal
ter, from the effects OK whose
death Mr.. Blame never entirely
recovered, is something more than
a mile. bat the crowd which fol
lowed the procession, on foot,
cared nothing for that; they were
there to do honor to the man they
loved, and had it been twenty
miles they would have followed
that casket to its final resting
place. And who doubts that III
the after years, wher the United
States shall have reached the
grandeur which was SO plainly
visible to the prophetic eyes of
Mr.. Blaine, it VIII be considered
great honor in thousands OF
families to be able TO say: "My

But Mr.. Blaine will have monu-
