MIcHTGAN'S UNIQUE TOWN.
everybody Has . Home and Eats the
Same Kind Of Meat NJ Con-
stantinc.

Constantine. Mich, Is one OF the
queerest towns in the country. IL
has "a population of 5000. 4 rented
house is so rare as to be conspicuous.
Nearly everybody owns his home.
AZ noon the merchants lock their
doors and go to dinner. The men
folks on their way to business in the
morning stop at the market and leave
an order for meat for the noon meal.
They do not say how much. for the
butcher has come to know the
amount each customer wants.
The order Is simply for meat. The
butcher seldom has more than one
kind at time. Thus it happens that
on some days the whole town eats
ham, on others mutton or steak.
Few canned goods are sold in the
town and everybody has a garden.
Several years ago. when factory
was established there, il put in an
electric plant. The town board ar.
ranged for lighting the streets from
this power, and there is one incan-
descent light in the middle of each
block This is the only public inn
proyement the town has had for
years. The people have money and
are contented lot. When they want
anything extra for their table they
send TO Detroit for it., or go there
and stay few days. Sometimes they
go to Chicago. The people as a whole
are intelligent and hospitable. When
a travelling man goes to Constantine
Tor orders he is usually the guest Of
merchant. One OF this class was
there for week not long ago. and it
Is from him that the foregoing in.
formation was obtained. All things
considered, he prefers Constantine 10
some of the larger towns on his
route. and he is authority for the
statement that there isn't another
town in the country like Constantine
