STOPPING A STAMPEDE.
How n Cowboy DID IL at the Peril of
His Life.

trrom the Boston JouruaL)
cone Of the sIickest things I ever saw IN
my life. said veteran army officer the
other day. was a cowboy stopping a
cattle stampede A herd OF about 500 or
500 had got frightened at something and
broke away pellmejl. with their tails in
the air and the bulls al the head Of the
procession. But Mr. Cow boy didn't get
excited al all when he saw the herd was
going straight for high bluH, where they
would certainly tumble down into the can
yon and be killed.
You know that when a herd like that
gets TO going it can't stop. no matter
whether the cattle rush TO death or not
Those in the rear crowd those ahead and
away they 20. ! wouldn't have given a
dollar a head for that herd. but the cow
boy spurred up his mustang. made little

cut across their path al a right angle. and

I saw them try to slack up. though they

The Other Side

Why men should support their wives
is a question that is getting consider
able share of attention in the public
prints, and the discussion of 1t brings
many curious facts to the surface
Among these was the story of the
melancholy discovery made by the
heirs OF an old Massachusetts farmer
some years ago. His young heirs be-
ing greedy. they endeavored to prevent
the widow from enjoying the life use
of third of the estate. To their de-
light they discovered that the farmer
had imposed an illegal ceremony upon
the unsuspecting woman, and that
therefore she was not his widow The
case appeared to be a surely winning
one for them, and accordingly they
brought suit. The judge appreciated
the sad position of the duped old wo-
man who had done the old mans
Homework for years, and who was now
threatened with loss of home. He ad-
vised the defendant to bring suit for
services which the old man was not en-
titled to, as she was not his wife. Act
ing upon his advice, the old woman
made out a bill at current wage rate by
the week. for all the years she had per-
formed the homework. The court al
lowed the claim which II took the en-
tire estate to pay. and there was con-
sequently nothing whatever left for
the heirs.

To Guide the Social Novice.

Informal callers should be most care
full to avoid the hours for meals.
To drop an unwelcome acquaintance
one merely omits sending cards.
Do not apologize too much for not
having called before. Your neglect to
do so has probably not been observed.
Never impose yourself upon your
friends unless you are feeling we'll and
are reasonably sure of making your
self agreeable.
DO not offer TO your hostess the slight
of a hurried call. nor be absent minded,
nor constantly consulting your watch.
Rise to take leave while you are the
speaker-not when the conversation
has languished, lest you appear to go
because you are bored.-Mrs. Burton
Kingsland, in the January Ladies'
Home Journal.

GRANT AS A STAKEHOLDER.
Those Owned at the Beginning OF
the War Came as a Dowry.


II is no doubt true that the only
slaves Gen. Grant ever owned were
such as he received as part of his
wife's dowry when he married her.
Her father, Gen. Dent, was a native
of Maryland and wealthy merchant
of st. Louis, and afterward gentle
man farmer near that city. or course,
he owned slaves, and no doubt when
Can't. Grant married his daughter in
lS4S he gave them a rev house SER
wants. and afterward probably some
field servants. II is not at all likely
that Gen. Grant ever bought or sold
a slave.
If he owned any slaves when the
war broke out. as Mrs. Grant is report
ed saying, they must have been hired
out in st. Louis, as they could not have
been with him at Galena, ILL.,, where
he went in April, 1860, to become a
clerk in his fathers hardware ana
leather store. The father was at that
time in Covington, Ky. In a letter 10
Gen. James G. Wilson. written from
Frankfort, March 20, 1868, he said:
after Ulysses farming and real es-
tate experiments in st. Louis county,
Mo, failed to be self-supporting he
came to me at this place (Covingtou)
for advice and assistance. j referred

Were You There?

Well, then we will have to tell you
about it. In the first place the occasion
was the celebration of the Anniversary
of Shakespeare's birth which was OBJ
served by the Shakespeare Club last
Monday evening at the home of La
retta Effrick. OF its kind it is safe to
say there never was such a head
scratching, brain-racking time in Yale.
And it all came about by the cOnun-
drum and impersonating part of the
program. The very air was full of
conundrums, fired with the force of
bullets in the Boer War. This and the
book impersonating feature of the en-
tertainment plan, was more than sue
cess; and for hours the guests were
convulsed with laughter. 1t would be
impossible to given even an outline of
the Crackers" and we can only add
that many of them were "corkers," and
could not be solved.
But the celebration was not all pro-
gram. The social side of the affair was
sufficient even if there had been no
other side. Added to this the club had
provided an elegant and varied menu
especially for the occasion. The Ian
guage is not yet invented that will
properly portray real, rolicking, heart
felt, soul-shaking laugh, such as these
guests had last Monday evening.
Neither are the words yet coined which
will convey the taste of delicate food
by describing it. We can describe to
the eye, but to the mouth, never. We
must taste in order to realize. Such
were some of the features about this
menu, and if you were not there to
taste, you will have to take it out in
guessing. You may approximate a
safe estimate of the interest the guests
felt in the occasion when you know it
was after midnight before they could
pull away from the place. One laugh
able incident we cannot forbear to
mention. The norm was that all in
going to supper should pass through
two doors. At the first door each guest
was required to give quotation from
Shakespeare; aud at the second door a
quotation from the Bible, ere they
could eat. 1t was notable that so many
of the guests could only quote the short
est verse in the Bible, and with others,
the rule had to be suspended ere they
could get any support at all.

Taken to the Hospital.

Several weeks ago little Lizzie McColl
was playing with n small doll cart.
Child like, she placed one foot in the
cab, and to give herself ride, made a
movement such as skaters make when
pushing themselves along. The result
was quick outward and spreading
motion of the limbs which injured her
hip joint. At first she cried much from
the severe pain, but after few days
appeared better and the family appre-
hended nothing more serious would
follow. But after a time, she began to
complain, had slight fever, and was
thought by her parents to suffer from
stomach trouble of some kind.
However she soon began to walk as
if lame, to complain of pain, and
show decided inability to properly
use the injured limb. DR.. Wight, the
family physician, was consulted, and
after careful examination, he pro-
nounced it hip disease resulting appar-
emily from the injuries received. He
advised taking her to the hospital for
more effectual treatment than is pos
sible at home. This involves her being
away from home for some weeks or
even months, which will be hardship
both to the parents and the little suf-
ferer. She was accompanied by her
father and mother to Detroit hospit-
al last Wednesday.

Great Millinery Fair Open.

We haye not said word to our Yale
friends before this season about our
great Millinery Fair. One reason was
partment that we could not handle
any more trade. We are now caught
up with our work and would be pleas
ed to have call from every one who
may visit our city. Our spring opening
was said to have been the finest ever
held in the city. Our hats were said to
have been the handsomest shown this
season. We are now ready to show
the very latest approved styles in
walking hats, street hats, wheel hats,
and sailors for 1900. BoICE's.

The S. s. Convention.

The S. s. Convention held in Yale
Wednesday was an unqualified success
in its program and speakers. The ad-
dresses were all fine, some of them eX-
ceptionally so. OF course NJ. ii. Rey-
nOlds, the State Secretary, is always
excellent. The address and discussion
following Prof. Campbell's talk was
very suggestive and profitable. The
address of Rev. DR.. Daniels, of Sarnia,
on Power, was one of the finest ). s.
talks ever given in Yale. The solos
rendered by Rev. Mr.. Aldrich were a
special feature of the meeting. Rev.
j. A. Rowe was elected president and
James Brown secretary.
So far, so good; but, and big but
too, this is the point where success
stopped. We regret to say it, because
Yale people are seldom derilict. Eth
er from sickness, house cleaning, or
other causes, but few of the s. S. work
ers attended the convention sessions.
They missed good meeting and the
loss is their own. We trust next con-
vention can be fixed little earlier in
the season when the work Is not so
pressing, or later when it is all done
and out of the way.

Headed This Way.

M. A. McCarron, the promoter of the
new electric railway route, has been
hustling in Yale and vicinity this week.
The line he is locating has its termi-
nails in Detroit and Lexington, and
touches the towns of Romeo, Almont,
Capac, Peck, and CrOswell. The fran
chise for right of way is now secured
for almost the entire route. The Brock
way Board at late meeting granted
the right of way through the township.
The road will enter Brockway at q
point one mile south and four miles
west of Yale, or will follow the center
east and west section line for four
miles, when it turns north through
Yale. Yale council granted a fran
chise on Main street and at meeting
of business Ilen last Tuesday evening
the official action was approved by a
vote of to |.
Of the above line we may remark
that the promoters seem to be backed
by abundant capital and every possible
care is being taken to put the line on
a secure and unobstructed route. The
projectors are not, at present at least,
begging for money and are asking only
the right of way.
A different line is being projected by
another company which is to come
through Memphis, Emmett, Brockway,
Yale, Peck, and other northern towns.
Of this later project the EXpositor is
not in possession of much definite in
formation and we forbear conjectures
concerning it.
