A Michigan COurtShip.

Thirty years ago Michigan people
were frank and truthful set.
Strangers could come here and trade
horses with their eyes shut, and breach
of promise cases were unknown. Folks
meant what they said and when they
gave their word they stuck to it.
Exactly thirty years ago this month
a widower from New York State ap-
peared in Lansing on business. That
same business carried him over to
Dewitt, eight miles away. While en-
route he stopped at a log farm house
to warm his cold fingers. He was
warmly welcomed by the pioneer and
his wife both Of whom were well along
in years, and after some general talk,
the old woman queried:
"Am | right in thinking you are
widower?' .
Yes
"Did you come out here to find
wife,
"Partly"
"Did anybody tell you of our Susie ?"
NO"
well, we've got as bouncing girl
OF twenty-five as YOU ever set eyes on.
She's good-looking, healthy and good
tempered, and | think she'll like your
looks"
Where is shey 2"
"Over in the woods here, chopin
down a coon tree. Shall blow the
horn for her."
mo; if you'll keep an eye on my
horse, I'll find her."
well, there's nothin stuck up or
affected about Susie. She'll say YES
or no as soon as she looks you over.
If you want her don't be afraid to say
So"
The stranger heard the sound of her
axe and followed it. He found her
just as the tree was ready to fall. She
was stout, good-looking girl, swinging
the axe like a man, and in two minutes
he had decided IN say.
Susie, I'm widower from New
York State; I'm thirty-nine years old,
have one child, own a good farm, and
| want wife. Will you 90 back
home with me ?"
She leaned on the axe and looked
at him for half minute, and then
replied:
Cant say for certain. Just wait
till get these coons off my mind"
She sent the tree crashing to the
earth, and with his help killed five
coons, which were slowed away in
hollow.
well, what do you say?" he asked
as the last coon stopped kicking.
I'm youl'n," was the reply; "and
by the time you get back from Dewitt
I'll have these pelts off and tackled up
and ready for the preacher
lie returned to the house. told the
old folks he should bring the preacher
back with him, and at dusk that even
ing the twain were made one. Hardly
an hour had been wasted in courting,
and yet he took home one of the best
girls i'll the State of Michigan.

IN \ CHURCH-PLATE.
From There IL Counterfeit Went
the Sub-treaSury.

Receiving Teller Hammond, of the
Sub-treasury, was yesterday handed a
silver coin Of the United States about
the size Of dime, and purporting to
be worth 81. 1t bore the date of
1857. Mr.. Hammond had little diff
Guilty in determining that the coin was
counterfeit, and had been washed with
gold and passed rs Il gold dollar
Some of the gold washing was still on
the coin The counterieiter had struck
the coin off in silver, and had then
washed il. The workmanship was
excellent, and, in its time, the counter
felt must have readily passed. The
coin came in from a church, having
been dropped into the contribution
basket. \ humorous feature of the
affair was that it came from Mr..
Hammond's own church, and only last
week he had conversation with one
of the wardens in reference to counter
felt coin. and the practice to get rid
OF them by dropping them in the con-
tribution box. Mr.. Hammond insist
ed that he played no such joke on his
pastor.
While exhibiting this coin, gentle
man approached Mr.. Hammond and
asked him to redeem mutilated 81
note. Less than half of the note was
produced, and Mr.. Hammond told its
owner that he could not redeem il.
II halt of the note was produced he
would give halt value of the original.
as evidenced by the portion of note
produced, and if twothirds was pro-
duced, two-thirds OF the original value
would be given. The only way he
could realize on the mutilated note,
said Mr.. Hammond to the owner,
would be for him to make oath that
the other portion of the note had been
destroyed, and forward the portion of
the note and the affidavit to the Treas
ury Department, Washington. The
man said he could not make such an
oath, as he did not know that the
other portion was destroyed.

HIS MOTHER LAW.

My name is Richard Daltan. was
then just twenty.one, with face that
was not absolutely ugly, sublime
audacity, and pockets not particularly
well lined, and had just distinguished
myself by running away with a pretty
girl from boarding school.
"But, Dick" she had demonstrated,
"we have nothing to live on.
Don't be goose, darling" had
been my reply. What do the people
need TO live ON? All the wants OF
this world, more or less, are fiction. A

Nettie had looked admiringly upon
me and acquiesced TO my argument.
We had taken board at the Angel Hill
Hotel, and began our honeymoon roy

host had become little importunate
on the subject Of his bill, and Nettie's
mother had written letter to her
signiiying that she wanted nothing to
do with us. We had made our bed.

The annual tri-city social turkey

surrounded by bluffs near the head
OF Twenty-second street. The tur-
keys. all splendid specimens. aver

turn was placed in box which was
concealed in the ground with only
the head and neck exposed, and hence
it was required that the bird be
killed only by shooting through the
head and neck portion. The distance
was 100 yards and each in turn was
given q shot until all the fowls were
disposed of. The participants were:

been inside in the arrangement of

that something wrong had hap
pened to shake the building. as the
boards indicated. he hurried to the
first floor to find everything in a
state of chaos. He at once notified
the police by telephone and Officers
Schaab and Kramer were sent to the
scene.
There is no clew whatever to the
burglars, and as trains leave the CITY

they had abundant opportunity to
get out Of the city.

Locksmith Fiebig states that there
was enough giant powder placed in
the safe to blow up two or three
safes, the load being four times wha,
was necessary to accomplish thu
opening of the double doors. TIL,
wonder to him is that greater dam
age was not done. As it was. hi
found cracked windows 40 feet from
where the safe stood and a silver
dollar on the floor completely black
ened by the explosive. In view o
the quantity of powder used. he doe
not regard the cracksmen as old
| timers.

WAS A THOROUGH JOB.

The burglars Take Their Time and Make
Themselves at Home.
The burglars were evidently pro-
fessionals. They knew their bust.
ness thoroughly and went about i,
with deliberation rather than haste.
What they wanted they helped
themselves to, and were determined
that there would be no reason
for reproach among themselves after
ward that they had permitted any
thing to escape. They entered
through the bottling department at
the southeast corner of the
building by pryins window.
Here they paused to imbibe OF
three bottles of beer. and then en-.
tering the office they ransacked
everything Thoroughly, opened all the
desk drawers, took down the letter
files and examined the contents; they
opened without difficulty the safe in
the bookkeeprs' Office, and finding
only books there, looked them over
and then examined the other offices
and records. In the cashiers de-
partment is safe with dimensions
of SKA feet. Finding it securely
locked, they bored hole in the top
