THOSE GOOD OLD TIMES.
When There Was Pleasure and PrOht
in stock Buying.

"ne1 InGFe w rs treasure an Il front
in stock Buying.
"Just after thu Ear Michigan was a
great state for STOCK" said stock deal
er of Chicago. 4 began business life
on Michigan deal which was the foun-
dalton of what the newspapers term
with twinkling giance-"my princeiy
fortune. This meEhod of handling
stock was so different from that which
prevails to-day, with our people con-
trolling the price Of the world and our
'ssy-so' more autocRatic than that of a
car, it may be interesting to speak of
an enterprise which was possible once
and impossible now.
1.-TWO of us entered Michigan, coming
as far as Ann Arh4,r. We purchased
5000 sheep and with another man and
dog started to drive them to Iowa.
Different from methods of to-day, isn't
It'll We paid SIPS apiece for the sheep.
We had a wagon and in the back of it
barrel of cider. We'll, we were just four
months on that trip, but it was good,
healthy exercise, atd believe we en-
joyed every moment. Of course there
were anxieties. For example, when we
struck Illinois some of the roads weren't
properly fenced and the sheep would
scatter out all over the country. Then
came lively work, but, fortunately. the
dog was as good as four men.
II often think of the trip and COM
pare in with the present. Now we would
bring that many sheep to Chicago mas
many days and less as it formerly took
months. Now. instead of personal so
licitation among the farmers, a tele-
gram serves. Instead of driving the
sheep and having that healthy outdoor
exercise on horseback, the cattle come
in cars and are here shortly after being
ordered. Instead of saying to the farm
ers and others: How much will you
give for these sheep?' we say to the
great United States: You will give so
much to-day for sheep and no one can
or will contradict us. and our prices are
as fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. But
never have l earned 81, 900 with so much
satisfaction to myself as l earned from
that first trip. 1t was the foundation
of a modest fortune"-with laugh
''and good, honest foundation it was"

The Plowman.
The delicate gray trees stand up
Beside the fenced ways:
And one or two are crimson tipped.
And soon will start to blaze.
The plownan follows. as Of yore,
Along the burrows cold,
Homeric shape against the boughR
Sharp is the air with mold
The sweating horses heave and strain;
The crows, with thick, high note,
Break black across the MINDLESS land.
Fade off and are remote.
Oh. new days, yet long known and old!
10. as We look about,
This immortal act of faith,
That tax es the heart from doubt.
Kingdoms decay and creeds are not,
Yet still the plowman goes
Down the spring fields. so he may make
Ready for him that sows.

Guena Who.


There is an old woman. pray. can you
guess who?
With such a bad temper men name her q
shrew
She frets and she scolds, and she storms
and she shrieks,
And never old woman had so many freaks
She'll smile and caress you, perchance for
day,
Then, blow you up roundly-for that is her
And many good people had rather leave
Than stay when this surly old woman will
comet
Her children behold her with terror and
dread,
And hardly dare peep from their warm.
coy bed
Though brave little Golden Locks, hardy
and bright,
Sometimes ventures out for taste Of sun
light.
Yet such rare housekeeper never was
known
She sweeps the wide earth. every corner
and zone:
And this queer old woman. so hated and
feared.
Most beautiful children has nurtured and
reared
She carefully hides them away out of sight.
And keeps them by daytime. and guards
them by night;
She cradles them gently on earth's tender
breast,
And lulls them with breezes from south
and from west.
Until their sweet beauty is ripe for display
When two charming maidens, young April
and May.
Call out the dear children to play in the
sun,
And then claim the work the old woman
has done,

Poem by Whittier.
The following verse by John G. Whit
tier was recently found, written in an au-
tograph album belonging to Mrs. Sarah A
Barber, of Northwood, Mass, who has
just died.
May He who ever keeps
Watch over all, nor slumbereth, nor sleeps.
Be near thee still, with His supporting
hand,
Thy cool rock shadow in a weary land.
So shalt thou in thy daily duties move
By the still waters of our Fathers love.
And the true peace which He alohe can give
In the deep quiet of thy spirit live.
And when at last the summons shall be
given
Thine eyes shall open on the bliss OF
Heaven.
And earthly pomp and earthly joys wax
dim
Before the white-robed saint and seraphim.
Eye hath not seen it. nor the living ear
Heard the glad music Of that gloriuos
sphere.
Nor mind of man in its EXTREMIST thought
One glimpse unclouded of its glory caught
The joys prepared, the infinite reward
OF those who love the appearing OF our
Lord.

PEPPER MINT.
SHALL ALMA BECOME A CEN
TER?
An Open Offer,

Mr.. G. Hyde Of Burr Oak is in Alma
for few days trying to interest the
farmers of this section into raising
peppermint. He says that the soil and
climate in this region is far superior to
any in the state, and Alma may become
a great center for the product.
The roots are set the first year, and
the plants are cultivated the same as
potatoes. After that the field is handled
the same as a hay field.
The product is cut, raked up and
drawn to the still where the Juice or oil
is extracted.
The average yield of the product is
twenty-five pounds to the acre, and the
oil generally brings 81 90 per pound
The plants flourish best on low muck
or marsh land where they can receive
lots of moisture.
Mr.. Hyde informs US that if 300 acres
of the mint are planted in this vicinity,
he will put in large still and buy the
product
He will be in town for few days to
give further information regarding the
enterprise. If you have an acre or two
that is suitable call in and see him.
Let us seize this opportunity of build
ing up a worthy enterprise, and one
that will aid the farmer.
