Then He Hurried Up.

He was too modest to be n success
full lover, and he had let 40 years Of
his life go by without ever coming
TO an emotional point.
He was in love with a fair being OF
suitable age. but he would not tell her
so, and though she knew II she could
not very well give him a hint about
the situation.
She was willing because she had ar
rived at that time of life when a
woman is not nearly so hard to please
as she might have been at some other
time, but he was stupid and went
away without a word.
He was gone long, long time, arc

ready.

years. he said to her as he took her
hand in greeting.

cause Of his misery.

food, man." said his old friend, clap
ping him heartily on the shoulder.
Come and visit my wife and me on

The city man looked at his red cheek
ed friend, who stood waiting for the

yours would help me l will make one
more attempt to be a healthy man.

effect that the bank is in the hands Of

that it would not open its doors for

cial condition. The City bank has
large number of depositors owing -
the fact that it was the first CONNER
cial bank in the city to offer interest

Ex'GOv. Pingree's Body Arrived
at New York
FUNERAL SET FOR SATURDAY
The Early Arrival of the Body at New
York Will Effect No Change in the
Funeral Arrangements in Detroit on
Saturday.

Detroit, July 2.-The information
that the steamer iceland had arrived
in New York with the body of ex-Gov.
Pingree on board caused a stir among
the various committees which the
making preparations for the reception
OF the body in Detroit, and for a time
arrangements were at a standstill.
The committee composed of alder.
men, county and state officials, which
was to leave for New York yesterday
afternoon, was in quandary until it
was learned from the east that the
body would be kept in New York un.
til they arrived. They will now leave
at the time appointed
Although the iceland arrived in port
earlier than was expected, members
OF the citizens committee believe that
there will be no material change in the
arrangements that have already been
made for the funeral. Gen. Duffield
said that Saturday was the best pos.
sible time for the services, because so
many business houses and factories
would be able TO close for the after.
noon then, where it would be much
more inconvenient for them an an
other day.
Gen, H. M. Dufield arrived in town
Monday after several days absence in
the east. He met the members of his
committee at his Office in the Union
Trust building and arrangements were
made to handle the enormous crowds
that will participate in the funeral pro-
cession and look on from points along
the line of march. Col w. G. Latimer
was appointed chief of staff and Capt.
j. G.. Dickinson chief of aides. Ten
gentlemen have been selected to act
as marshals of divisions, and their
names will be announced after a meet
ing which will be held in the mayor 5
office today.
Col Harrah and Gen. Dufield are
planning on between 10000 and 10000
ununiformed men in the line. These
with the 5000 or more uniformed men
will form a procession, which it is
thought VIII reach almost from the
Pingree home on Woodward avenue TO

ready received word from many organ.
izations signfying their intention 20
take part, and many more are expect
ed to report today or tomorrow.

onion of the Leather Dealers associa-

The body will not be taken from the
iceland until II o'clock today, that ar
rangement having been suggested by
the surveyor of the port. This will
enable the Detroit escort and the com
mittee from the Leather Dealers asso-
citation to be present. There will be
no ceremonies. The early arrival OF
the body will effect no change in the
funeral arrangements at Detroit.
