SWALLOW CHARACTERISTICS.
Easy Ways to Remember the Peculiar
Markings Of the Different
Families.

It is easy to remember the barn-swal-
low. Hay-forks are used in the barn:
this swallow has very conspicuously
forked tail. Remember, also, that the
farmers get much hay down In the mead
ows; you often see barn swallows flying
low over these meadows for insects. Keep
in mind. also. that the under part are

Mature and Science" In st. Nicholas.
On the upper edge OF an excavated
bank by the roadside there is q dark
layer Of soil and vegetation There Ii q
dark band across the breast Of the bank
swallow. That is easy to remember.
The rough-winged IL much the same as
the bank swallow. except that It has no
dark band on the breast. The color 70 a
Eooty brown.
There Is steel lightning-rod on the
brown shingles Of the old farmhouse:
there Is bright steel-blue patch on the
brown breast Of the eaves-swallow. The
tail Is almost as square ~ the end OF the
roof. The light spot ON the rump you
may also remember.

A smart walking-gown is here Illus

The Postars New Line.

B. R. Laberteaux, manager of the
local Office of the Postal Telegraph Co.,
received letter yesterday from Supt.
Kinnucan of the Postal Co. at Detroit
stating that the company had just de-
cided to put new line through from
Lansing to Saginaw and that work on
the erection of the poles would probably
commence at once, as the wire, amount.
ing to 10000 pounds, had already been
provided.
The new line is proposed to take in
Owosso, st. Johns, and st. Louis and is
a proposition that the company has been
considering for some time. A gang of
about twenty men is expected in Lans-
ing tomorrow or next day to commence
the construction as the right of way has
been entirely secured and nothing now
hinders the company from completing
the work at once. The line which is to
commence in Lansing and end in Sagi-
nav will take as direct a route as posi-
BILE to that city. 1t will probably be
about fifty miles long and will cost
about SO, 000.-Lansing Journal.

A novel feature and one that will APP

This crack organization, which is one of
the very best companies of the Michi-

Johns guests that day and will give an
exhibition of their excellent drill work.
The Light infantry band will also be
present, made up of twenty pieces and
is one of the best known bands in the

Value Of the Grange.

81 have no hesitation in saying
that the Grange has been exceedingly
beneficial to the farmers of the United
States, and l hope they will continue
their good work in the future, bringing
to the front in each locality the promi-
nent farmers and making them active
and useful to their fellows, not only so,
but recognizing womankind in her
sphere, giving her countenance and OPP.
portunity to do work that only woman
can do. The Grange is moving along
wisely and conservatively at the present
time. 1t is doing its work along safe
lines, and every effort made along these
lines is valuable to producers, not only
in regard to the markets of the world,
but with regard to home markets. l
cordially endorse the organization, its
aims and objects and wish it God
speed" Sec'y of Ayr. Wilson

Now Its Too Slippery.

The city of Bay City seems to be
having more than a little trouble with
paving matters, and according to the
Bay City Tribune, the bituminous ma
cadam pavement laid on Center avenue
is the source of part of the annoyance
Early in the season the report was sent
out from Bay City that the surface of
the pavement was soft and that when
horses walked or trotted over it the
chances were they would carry off a
considerable portion of the surface of
the pavement which stuck to their
hoofs.
The latest report is to the effect that
the pavement is now as slippery as glass
and that horses have great difficulty in
remaining on their feet while driving
over this pavement.

PoPULIsTs NEXT YEAR.
Likely to Vote the Republican Tick ct
in Large Numbers.

Considerable comment has been caus-
ed in the West by the assertion of a
leading populist of Kansas that he be-
lieves the most of the old-time members
of that party will support Roosevelt and
the republicans in next years national
campaign. irrespective of the democratic
nominee, whoever he may be. The Kan
sas City Journal expresses the same
idea and gives as the reason that popu-
lism in the West twas an organized pro-
test against policies which were believed
10 have brought hard times upon the
country. 1t was a desperate resort Of
agriculturists who were willing to try
anything that afforded hope Of relief.
The restoration of prosperity through
the very agencies that the populists had
thought to be so destructive convinced
them of their error, and now they de-
sire the party under whose administra
tion they are growing rich to continue
in power.
This expresses the facts as we see
them; and we may add also that the
majority Of the populist party in the
West, where that strange political move
ment originated, was drawn originally
from the republican ranks. They fell
into error as to some of the causes of the
hard times from which they suffered
and into the further error of indorsing
erroneous policies as the remedy. Free
silver, one of these is dead beyond the
hope of resurrection. Moreover, they
see that the republican administration
has checked the formation of trusts and
combines, and put existing ones in fear.
The democrats talked violently against
trusts, and accused the republicans of
favoring them; yet when the democratic
party came into full power in the nation
in 1893, it did nothing whatever So
why should any populist go to the demo
cratic party? Again, on the tariff the
populists are with the republican party.
The prosperity which followed the en-
actment of the Dingley law in 1897
showed them its value as giving the
basis for great national prosperity.
They are with the republicans in opp@i-
ton to the evils of trusts so they are
regarding national expansion. The re-
publican vote of the West for Roosevelt
in 1904 will be phenomenal.-Toledo

North Owosso Farmers Club.

The North Owosso Farmers Club
was very Hospitality entertained last
Friday by Mrs. Spalding and family.
1t was an ideal day and nearly all the
members as we'll as many visitors were
present.
The meeting was opened by a song
and the usual exercises. The business
included the election of officers as fol.
lows:
President, reelected-Frank Stiles.
Vice President-Mrs. E. O.. Place.
Secretary-Mrs. S. j. Harding.
Cor. Mrs. Frank Lowell and
Miss Edna Miller.
Treasurer-Mrs. VIM. Smith.
Chaplain-Chas. Freeman.
Director, eelected-Wm. Saver.
The program opened with an anus
ing recitation by Miss Florence Green
valid.
"The years outlook from the farm
er's standpoint" Mr.. Freeman thinks
is as favorable as it has been in the
past few years perhaps more favorable
In some ways, although the late heavy
rains have proven quite a drawback.
The general opinion seemed to be that
the outlook Is very favorable.
"For whom are we living?" This
question was very appropriately an
swered by well known quotation, be.
ginning, "We live for those who love
US, whose hearts are kind and true"
what is the real purpose OF hoeing
and cultivating?" The first purpose
is to subdue the weeds. The agricul-
tural colleges teach that cultivatipg
the soil is as good as fertilizer.
Miss Mattiebell Getman gave a
pleasing recitation.
"The way to keep young" Mrs.
Harding thinks associate with young
people and think more Of the wants of
other people and less Of self. Mrs. L.
D. Carson read well prepared paper
on this subject. 1t is not the work,
cares and perplexities OF life which
make person grow old. Many people
whose lives have been full of care look
no older than those who have had less
trouble. Thinking of the wants of
others, forgetting self, is the best way
to keep young.
The old saying familiar to all, early
to bed and early to rise," etc., is a very
good remedy for wrinkles. But If a
person shows his feeling, his face will
surely be wrinkled. Mental and moral
activity is necessary, read good books.

1.-THE ideal husband. Mrs. Clam
read selection on this subject. More
Is always said OF what a husband ex.
poets OF his wife than what a wife
should expect Of her husband. The
mother has much to do with making
ideal husbands, when she directs the
minds OF her boys in the proper chan.
