PRESclENcE.
Tho now moon hung in tho sky.
Tho sun wns low in tho west,

Tho now moon hung in tho sky,
Tho sun was low in tho west. y
And my bctrothcd and l ,$
In tho churchyard paused TO rest, IN
Happy maid and lover,
Dreaming the old dream over.
Tho light winds wandered by,
and robins chirrcd from the nest
And, To- I'm the meadow sweet
Was tho grave Of a lttlo child,
with crumbling stone ut the fcot
And tho ivy running wild,
Tangled ivy and clover
Folding it over and over
Close TO my swccthcart's feet
Was the little mound up piled.
Stricken with namelcss fears
She shrank and clung to me,
And her eyes were filled with tcars
For n sorrow did not sec.
Lightly the winds were blowing,
Softly her tears were flowing,
Tears for tho unknown year
Aud u sorrow that was to DO.

ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.
"A Very Light Turn-Out-Leonard and
Ireland Re elected without Opposition.


Ireland Re elected without Opposition.
The annual school meeting held al
the high school building on Monday
evening was very tame affair indeed
especially when compared with that OF
one year ago, when 27S votes were cast
upon one ballot for trustee. When
Moderator L. f. Ireland called the
meeting to order there were only a
handful of men present and the ladies
were mostly conspicuous by their alb
sence. The directors annual report
was read and very promptly adopted
without discussion. The next order of
business being the election of trustees
in place of HI. j. Leonard and r. F..
Ireland, ballots were proceeded with
resulting in the reelection of both al
most unanimously. Rev. Munger then
offered resolution that the length of
the school year be cut down from 40 TO
80 weeks which stirred up considerable
views pro and con being ex-
pressed by II. j. Leonard, o. f. Web
ster, A. l.. Spencer, f. A. Washburn,
Mrs. Webster, M. f. Peck, +. Chapple
Rev. Golden. 1t was finally disposed
Of by voting to lay upon the table for
one year. A motion to adjourn was
sprung, put and carried before the
annual appropriation bill which should
nave been acted on at this meeting was
thought of.

In the last issue of the Sparta SEN
tinel we find the following: "For four
teen years Geo. W. French has been
doing business in Sparta. The writer
OF this has been here during all that
time and knows him, inside and out,
thoroughly. George has his little fol-
ables, and some of large growth, like
the rest of u.s. but take him all in ALL
he's genuine good natured, good
hearted and enterprising fellow whose
departure we sincerely regret. A re-
port of what George didn't know about
the jewelry business when he com
menced would fill several volumes
but he kept hard at work, was pleasant,
accommodating and full of vim and soon
had the largest stock and best trade of
any jewelry store in place OF this size
in Western Michigan. He has repeat
edly had to enlarge his quarters and
now he goes to a larger town carrying
the kind wishes Of a host of Sparta
friends who will be glad to learn of his
continued prosperity" "

Inc prize for single handed, able
bodied lying no longer goes to the
mature man. Little Henry Weyland,
aged III years, made some efforts in
that line at police headquarters last
evening which eclipsed the records for
many generations past. Henry was
picked up on the street during the
evening for begging. In an interview
with Superintendent Carr he claimed
to be eleven years old; said his mother
had died three years ago in Ionia, at
which time his father took him to Beld-
ing and abandoned him there Since
then he claimed TO have been diligent-
ly searching for his absconding pa. AS
he was able TO account for but two or
three months OF the intervening years
he was locked up with the injunction
to do little thinking. This morning
he told few more fairy stories to Cap
tain johnson, but finally settled down
to one to the effect that three weeks
ago his mother sent him out with a
pathetically worded note to make what
he could out of his lying, etc. At
Portland he claims to have gotten 50. 60.
at Belding SO, at st. Johns 81, and sim
liar amounts at Greenville, Grand
Ledge, Howard City, and a dozen other
towns. During the first week of his
outing he returned regularly to Ionia
and delivered up his cash to his mother,
but for the last two weeks he has been
on the 90 and up to last night had been
six days in this city. He had just one
cent on him when picked up. He also
now says his father is carpenter at
lonia and is earning good wages. The

The Stanton Clipper gives the follow
ing account of the game between the
Belding Silks and the Stantons on the
grounds of the latter July 4th:
The ball game between the Belding
and Stanton teams was good one and
was only marred by three rank decisions
OF the umpire. The playing up to the
fifth inning was as good as any team
could put up, but then the Beldings
punched their hits and won easily. The
game was called at the end of the
seventh inning to allow the Belding
boys to catch the Ala train. The catch
ing OF Lunn, of the home team. and
good fielding of the visitors were the
features of the. game. The Belding
boys are as gentlemanly lot of pla ers
as have ever played here. The follow
ing is the score by innings:
Belding 0 0 0 o 2 2 As
Stanton . . q / o 0 0-l
Batteries: Belding, Smith and Gild-

BASE BALL BABBLE.
Beidings Lose the Game To Ionia-The
Silks Win mt stanton

The old time base ball enthusiasm il
is getting pretty thoroughly aroused
again this season and most of the s.fans'
were at the game in Ionia the fourth.
They all felt pretty sick too after it was
finished, not so much because our club
had been defeated as because they were
defeated by their own poor playing. 1t
was an off day for Belding. From the
lonla Sentinel's account Of the game we
extract the following THE nearly
1000 persons who attended the base
ball contest yesterday between the c..
f. Faude's OF Ionia and the Belding
team, saw game that the average ball
crank delights in, plenty of hard hit
ting and good fielding and just enough
errors to add to the interest of the game.
Haynes. pitched good game, strik-
ing out seven men, and was more effec-
tive when men were on bases than G..
Butterfield, Belongs crack pitcher.
Copeland and Fish both caught finely
The latter excelled in throwing to bases.
The umpire, "a gentleman from Beld-
ing, naturally, perhaps, gave that team
shade the best of it on base decisions,
but showed good Judgement on balls and
strikes.

Japs Take Notes.

1t appears that notebooks are quite COM
mon in the Japanese army among both
soldiers and coolies; they keep regular
diaries and take copious notes Of every
thing they see. "It is surprising writes
q war correspondent to the China Mail,
what a lot they know about the great
West Several of them talk intelligently
of Spartans and Persians, Napoleon and
his march to Moscow. and even compare
the abolition of feudalism in England and
Japan. They fully understand all that is
implied in the contrast between old-fash>
toned hand-tO-hand warfare and modern
long-range maneuvers; and they speak
scornfully of the Chinese tactics at Ping
Yang in trying cavalry charges against
massed rif1emen without first using their
machine guns, as the French at Waterloo
did their field pieces, to throw the ranks
into disorder All this from the japanese
must be surprising to Europeans, because
we do not know them. Their progress is
greater and more real than foreigners

A Prisoners Pet Snake.

was kept around the Jail during Jones
confinement, was among the number,
and with his snake in box under his
arm he started with the rest on their
long journey. Jones was very much at
