Pink VIII ReiRn.

Pink in loveliest tints will be a very
favored color this summer, and among
the beautiful dyes are anemone, alsC
known IA valesque, an old rose pink
venus, delicate flesh tint; azalea- a
soft rose, tinged with silver like the
dawn" tint Of other seasons. Shepherd
ess and Louis XVI pinks are tinged with
faintest mauve, like the old pompadour
and lilac shades, and still deeper tones
Of this exquisite color copy the hues OF
the orchid. chrysanthemum and sweet
pea blossom All of these dyes combine
beautifully with silver gray. reseda,
fawn color, cream. beige apricot, mag
nolia, white and some Of the pale yell
low shades The latter mixture is like

Some little time ago Mrs. Mary
Moody, of Greendale, Midland county,
well known to many of our citizens
went on visit to Eaton county accom-
panied by dear friend of hers by the
name OF Lib Jones When ready to
return Lib announced that she would
drive home rig that her father had
given her consisting of a span of horses,
harness, three seated buggy with robes,
whip, blankets, etc, and Mary had to
come back alone. Last Friday Deputy
Sheriff Weaver received the authority
to 60 out and get the two on the charge
of stealing horses. He went down to
Greendale but was only able to find
Mrs. Moody, Mrs. Jones having left for
parts unknown. At the present time
Mrs. Moody is at Ithaca at the county
Jail. She denies the charge that she

Mrs. Hopkins Barricade.

When the widow Harding married
Hiram Hopkins she knew she was doing
a foolish thing. She possessed neat
little home, surrounded by fertile acres,
but he had nothing beside a pension Of
$1S quarter aud the reputation Of be-
ing the LATEST man in the township.
But the widow was lonely and Hiram
had taking" ways with women folk
and she Welded to his solicitations.
She hoped that matrimony might cure
him of his idleness, but after the first
few weeks he settled down into his old
habits and the little place, instead of
improving, as Mrs. Hopkins hoped,
soon began to run down. For having
taken unto herself husband, she did
not feel able TO hire a man to do the
xbrk and as Hiram would not do It, at
the end of their second year of life to-
gether the once neat and pretty little
farm looked terribly neglected.
One warm spring morning, moved
by some particularly sharp remarks
made by his wife, Mr.. Hopkins took
his hoe and proceeded to weed the gar
den. which was overrun with weeds.
He soon lay down to rest, however,
and fell asleep few moments before
mia better half. touched by the seeming
industry, brought with a tempting
lunch to encourage him. When she
saw him sleeping she recklessly tossed
the lunch into the plgpen and returned
to the house with her heart full of Bit
ter rebellion.
When Hiram at last awoke dreading
his wife's displeasure at the nonper-
to, nance of his task, he secured his
fishing pole surIeptitiously and disap.
peared.
Mrs. Peters. an old friend of Mandy
Hopkins, was waiting for her when she

When the Wilson bill became law
Perrinton had a $4,000 wood alcohol
plant in successful operation. 1t fur
nished constant employment TO fourteen
men at the plant. At good wages; fur
nished a market for fourteen cords OF
four-foot wood daily, and labor TO sew
eral men and teams engaged in cutting
and drawing it to the factory.
The plant had been running success
fully five years, and was rebuilt just
previous to the shutdown, when it was
turning out thirty-five gallons Of crude
alcohol; nearly 700 bushels of charcoal.
and | 400 pounds Of acetate Of lime per
day.
The Wilson bill took the tariff off Of
grain alcohol, reducing the price SO it
could be substituted for wood alcohol.
and the latter dropped from 60 and 90
to 45, and the factory had to close or
run at loss.
The plant was first operated by the
Wood Extract Company of Detroit.
This company at one time had a retn-
cry near Milwaukee Junction. Later
1t was operated by and is at present
owned by the Gaylord iron works Of
Detroit.
The plant has been constantly looked
after since the shutdown and is said to
be in good condition. There is said to
be large tracts of timber in the vicinity
of Perrinton that can now be bought
cheaper than five years ago and tie
business men of the town are anxious
to have the owners of the plant or
somebody else put it in operation
again.
