Affection of Seals.

Natural affection of seals in their wild
state is well shown in the following an
ecdote: A gentleman living in Oregon,
on the ocean shore, one day caught in
very simple manner a young seal. 1t
had been stranded on the plank wharf
by a receding tide and left high and
uncomfortably dry as well. 1t had not
strength to waddle into the water and
no one to teach it the tricks of it's tribe.
The gentleman kept the little glossy
creature for several days and then in
pity turned lit into its native element.
1t came to the wharf every night and
whimpered so that he WAS obliged to
take it cut again and keep it in small
tank, the seal giving every demonstra-
ton of affection, after the manner of a
young dog.

Riding tho Goat.

Whence comes the phrase riding the
goat?" Presumably from Egypt and
old Nile. Capricornus, the goat Of the
zodiac, was the patron of the hero
plants in the Egyptian mysteries.
knowledge, especially occult and rec
ondite knowledge, was under his pro-
lection. The goat of earth may be de-
spised on earth, but the celestial goat
is or was. a mighty and mysterious
power. 1t may be long way from
the astrological and ASTRONOMICAL goat
to the comic "goat" Of modern ipitia-
lions, but that is not the goats fault.

purchase these costly gems. However,

The afternoon session begun with a

"Side saddles for banisters," was hui
morous In the extreme and put the
company In merry mood.
The question, What breed Of horses

full OF pith and point. The associa-
tional question, Government owner

NJ. w. West. Others followed. and
while 1T appeared to be the unanimous
opinion that such state of things
would be Of benefit, 1t was not clear
how it was to be brought about. Mr..
White, a visitor from Venice, made
the best remarks upon this subject,
warning voters against party politics
and urging careful selection of men.
The question box In charge of Mrs.
Fred West was full OF the usual inter
esting matter. The subject OF build

The North Owosso Farmers Club
enjoyed one OF the pleasantest meet
ings in its history last Friday at the
beautiful home of Mrs. L. A. Partridge
and family. The house was filed at
an early hour and the buzz OF animated
convers ition was heard from every
corner until after dinner was served
and the meeting called to order.
During the interim following dinner
the men visited the we'll kept sta bles
and viewed the stock, which included
about thirty-fve head of cattle, we'll
groomed, sight we'll worth seeing.
The meeting was opened by the
singing Of America by the club, and
devotional exercises followed by the
roll call, which showed that every
family but one was represented. There
were also many visitors, among whom
were Mr.. Oliver and wife, OF the Gale
donia club and Crawford Fuller and
wife, of Maple River club.

While questions were being dis
tributed the orchestra furnished a
selection aud Mrs. Blanche Greenwalt
ann Miss Mabel Hemstead favored
the club with duet.
The question box, as usual, was one
OF the most interesting features OF the
meeting, some OF the questions bring
ing out considerable discussions:
"What do yon think of the state
ment recently made by the New York
Tribune: 1T Is now believed that In
a short time farms will be owned by
corporations?' sMessrs. Curry, Colby
and Black believed that unless some
law was passed curtailing the power
of trusts that farms would be used by
large corporations In which to invest
their surplus earnings. Mr.. Beckley
conteDded that money could not be
made fast enough from farms to inter
est the money kings.
Mark Grout believed that the ten
dency now was toward the breaking
up OF large tracts of land into 40 or so
acre farms. Moneyed men are not
obliged TO own farms in order to con.
troll their products as is proven by the
corner which Ogden Armour bas on
wheat.
"Do we need a new court house for
Shiawassee county?" MesSrs. Prior,
Stone and Curry believed that the
present one was good enough; Messrs.
Beckley and Colby that a new build
ing should be built, but nob till the
county is free from debt. Mr.. Trow-
bridge said he had been on the board
Of supervisors for ten years. IL was
continual bill of expense to keep the
present building in repair which
seemed like throwing money away.
Tn county would never be in better
condition to build new court house
than 1t is now.
"WOuld you advise going In debt to
buy 40 acre farm" Messrs. Stone
and Trowbrldge believed that IL one
was not Obliged to go in debt too
heavily they would advise it. Their
own experience has been that more
money could be made when in de bit
shan when not.
The president appointed Mrs. John
CLARK, G. f. Colby, Mark Grout and
Mrs. w. FL. Beckley to draft resolu-
sions on the death of Mrs. Albert
Howard, charter member of the
club.
After music by the orchestra, the

Mrs. w. II. Beckley reaa paper on
Government ownership of railroads. -
Mrs. Beckley thought II railroads were
owned by the government 1t would do
away with many Of the abuses Of the
present traffic system such as exorb =
tant charges, seizure OF merchandise
in transit and unwarranted delays.
Railroads could come under the civil
service system but that might tend
toward greater corruption in politics.
When the topic was opened for dis
cussion Mr.. Colby said he believed too
much was being made from the pat
rons of railroads. In Russia one can
ride 1000 miles for &c. while it costs
$50 to go from New York to San Fran
cisco, which costs the railroad but SIS,
making profit Of S45, or 300 per cent.
Mr.. Curry thought the railroads
could be conducted as is our mail sys-
tenn, not to make enormous profits on
watered stock but simply to pay ex-
penses.
The club was then entertained with
piano solo by Mrs. Halstead
G. f. Colby gave an interesting talk
on 1.-THE development Of agriculture. "
