What does it means
1t means business.
From 'S6 To '92 most people made
money. In many lines 92 was the
greatest year this country has ever
seen.
Perhaps most of us did little too
much business in 81 and '92-became a
little too sanguine-ventured a little
too much.
Since '92 the man who has held his
own Is to be congratulated, and those
who have gained have great reasons for
rejoicing.

other five years of good times. 1t may
last six years-maybe seven-but don't
count on more than five. Live up to
your opportunities for the next five

These will be years of money-making.
Every man in a legitimate, needed
business can make all he works for.

saloon out of your county for few years
more. you would not have anybody to

dead. Open them up and you can pave
your streets, run your electric lights
and your water works cheaper. You
will call in "a, class of people who will

take too much, and the sooner they are
dead the better.

A Few Brief Thoughts.

PAW PAW, MICH, SEPT 27, 1897.
Ed. NoRTHERNER:-
AS you have kindly consented To per-
nit both sides of the election sentiment
reasonable space in your columns, i
offer few brief thoughts and hope
some one will answer a few of the
many arguments made by both sides,
in kind and candid spirit. wish TO
say that the voter not only represents
his own will at the ballot box, but that
of woman as well. And the great up
rising OF the noble motherhood of this
county must surely appeal to the best
impulses OF manly hearts in very
forcible way. lam one of those women
who believe that most men are noble,
brave and true, and that large major.
ity OF men wish to vote just right, and
will proudly vote next November in a
way that will safely represent the de-
pendent women and children of their
families, and that no amount of argu'
ment will cause them to swerve from
what they feel is safe and right in the
performance of this exalted privilege
And so | ask the intelligent woman
hood of this county, to ask their legal
representatives to faithfully represent
their wishes at the ballot box the first
Monday in November next.
Will some one please answer the fol.
lowing questions:
What constitutes an enforced law?
Will the license system and open sa-
loon be financial gain to the county,
when the increased crime and pauper.
ism, together with the cost of prosecut-
ing criminals and maintaining paupers,
which are directly traceable To the
traffic, are taken into account?
If there is as much liquor sold under
local option as under license system,
why do men want the license system?
Is the argument valid one which
says: That because men are not pros
ecuted, or prosecuted and not punished
for violations of the present system,
that the law cannot be enforced?
Will the open saloon cause our mer.
chants to sell more goods and SO gain
greater prosperityY Will the purchas.
ing power of families be increased?
Kindly Yours,
ANTI SALOON DAUGHTER.

we haven't done so in this instance,

can. But 1 would at once put the boot

utation Sue him for libel! 1 know a

: A WAR of determination against
sympathetic strikes in the building
trades has been declared by combi-
nation of Chicago contractors, en-
ploycrs and other business men, and a
serious conflict with organized labor
is feared before the crusade is ended.
The employers say they will make
every effort to attain the desired end
through cooperation and arbitration
with the building trades council and
affiliated unions, but that, if peaceful
means fail general lockouts and wage
reductions will be resorted to in order
TO force the labor organization to
terms.

CHAPTER XVI.-CoNTINUED.

CHAPTER XVI.-CoNTINUED.
On Monday morning as he came in, by
train, his eye caught a flaming poster
on one of the bill boards at the station.
1t was headed Financial Field, and the
next line, in heavy black letters, was
1.-The Mica Mining Swindle." Kenyon
called a newsboy to him and bought Il
copy of the paper. There, in loaded
type, was the article before him. 1t
seemed, somehow, much more impor-
tant on the printed page than it had
looked on the proof.
AS he read it he noticed an air of
truthful sincerity about the article
that had escaped him during the brief
glance he had given it on Friday. 1t
went on to say that the Austrian Min
ing company had sunk good deal of
money in the mine, and that it had
never paid a penny of dividends-that
they merely kept on the mine at a con-
slant loss to themselves in the hope of
being able to swindle some confiding
investors-but that even their designs
were as nothing compared to the bare
faced attempt at swindling contem-
plated by John Kenyon. He caught
his breath as he saw his own name in
print. 1t was shock for which he was
not prepared, as he had not noticed 1t
in the proof. Then he read on. 1t
seemed that this man, Kenyon, had Sc
cured the mine at something like 6 TO-
600, and was trying to shove it off on
the unfortunate British public at the
enormous increase of e 100000; but this
nefarious attempt would doubtless be
frustrated SO long as there were papers
of the integrity of the Financial Field
that took the n six and expense of max
ing such an exposure as was here set
forth.
The article possessed singular fas-
cination for Kenyon. He read and re-
read IL in a dazed way as if the state
ment referred to some other person,
and he could not help feeling sorry for
that person.
He still had the paper in his hand as
he walked up the street, and he felt
numbed and dazed as if some one had
struck him blow. He was nearly run
over in crossing one of the thorough
fares, and heard an outburst of pro-
family directed at him from a cab
driver and man on a bus; but he
needed them not, walking through the
crowd like one under a spell.
He passed the door of his own gor-
geous office and walked a considerable
distance up the street before he real
lied what he had DONE Then he turned
back again, and, just at the doorstep,
paused with pang at his hearth
81 wonder if Edith Longworth will
read that article" he said to himself.

glad you have come. We have little

"And, if you did not buy that space,

Kenyon, suspiciously.

MEMORIES Or PATERNITY.
Emotions Which a Young Father Feels
When He TrundIc3 the Baby.

Emotions Which Young Father Feels
When He Tcundlcs the Baby.
1t is always little amusing to see
young father fare forth with baby
his baby-in his arms for the first
time. 1t is no use for him to try to
appear unconscious to everybody that
it is his first appearance in public in
the role of father.
His awkwardness is manifest, but his
pride is also in evidence, and the two
form combination of which no young
father need to be ashamed. There are
some men and some women who are
sentimental enough to have their hearts
quite touched by the very sight of 4
young couple Overlooking with tender
ness and pride and solicitude over their
first born. Those to whom this not
uncommon spectacle appeals are apt to
be middle-aged or elderly men and
women, whose own youth has long been
only a memory. But if they have lived
honestly and truly it is pleasant MEM
DRY, and the sight of young couple and
their first baby gives rise to some of
the sweetest memories of their lives.
They recall the time when life was
all hopes and all harmonies to them, and
the coming of their first little one gave
them new hopes and sweeter harmonies.
TIE little one is a man now, perhaps,
with children of his own, but you can
remember just how he looked in his
swaddling clothes, and just how you
felt when you first appeared in public
with him in your arms. You don't
talk much about it now, because you
don't want to be thought SILLY" or
Sentimental but if you are the man
or the woman you ought to be you will
have taught your children that God can
give them no higher proof OF His favor
than to give them little ones of their
own.-Detroit Free Press.
