gets up early in the morning. He
wanted to the other day, and, while
yet i'm bed, lighted match to look al
his watch. He was SO absorbed in
thinking about Is to l or something
else that he didn't realize a match
would not burn forever, and could al
most imagine himself in the midst ot
next springs election when the fire
caught in the woolen blankets There
was "hot time" for few minutes, and
the occupants of the bed tumbled out
in hurry. Moral: Never get up early
in the morning and never bother your

A slanderous contemporary perpe
trates the following: A Paw Paw man
had a barrel of whiskey on hand wher
the county went dry" last fall. he
peddles milk among his neighbors and
being a little short of the fluid one
morning, put in some whisky. The
next morning his customers took al
the way from three to- five quarts apiece
and he had four chances to sell the COW
that gave that milk. The next morning
he found at one place the whole family
sitting on the fence waiting for him
They had all the dishes in the house
with them and took all the milk he haC
left. There was a great demand for his
milk, but he knew the thing couldn'
last, so he sold his cows, a deacon taking
one at $500, and the rest of the herd sell
ing nearly as well, and quit. Happily
the secret is now known to others.

moval of the postoffice to his block or
north Kalamazoo street in the rooms
formerly occupied by |. j. Cummings
The business men of the west end oi
town have quite generally signed the
petition As soon as the purpose TO try
TO remove the office became known, the
east end interests aroused themselvel
to the desirablity of keeping the oflic,
in its present location, and remon
strances are also in circulation. Mr.
Longwell says, il he secures the location
of the Office he will fix up modern, ade
quate quarters for the business. On the
other hand, those who favor the re
tention of the present location say tha
J no good is to be gained by the change
J and that the Office ought TO remain wher,

Meanwhile, Postmaster Klllefer smile
