HOW Smiths Friend Got Through.

They were out in Kansas about 100
miles and wanted 70 reach Kansas
City. One Of them had a pass for
John Smith and wife. He was John
Smith all right, but his friend could
hardly pass as Mrs. Smith Although
they were practically without funds,
they boarded the train. Take a seat
In the rear Of the car" said Smith to
his friend.
Then Smith went forward and sat
down by young woman. Soon they
were talking like old friends, and the
subject of jackets was brought up by
Smith. He asked her to let him see
her ticket. 1t was not Of the variety
that requires the signature of the pur-
chaser
Smith examined it until the con-
ductor came through, and then he
handed up his pass and the ticket.
Pointing to his friend behind, he said,
1.-THE extra ticket is for him." Tie
scheme worked. To this day the
young woman does not know that she
was once Mrs. Smith for short ride
through Kansas.-Kansas City Times,

speed of a Prairie Chicken.

That prairie chicken flies with suf-
ficient speed to propel itself through
heavy plate glass was proved by re-
cent incident at the little town Of
Wolsey; Beadle county.
Professor Shepard of the village
school, in the discharge Of his duty,
rang the school bell, when couple of
prairie chickens that had taken refuge
in the schoolhouse tower from storm
were frightened from their place of
shelter. They flew as straight and
swift as an arrow for the plate glass
front Of q business house. The glass
was five-eighths of an inch in thickness,
but one of the prairie chickens went
straight through it as though it were
paper and dropped dead on the floor
inside the building at a distance Of
about twenty feet from the window.
The prairie chicken went through the
plate glass with sufficient force to cut
a hole six inches in diameter in it,

Gen. Aleer's Successor

Although Congressman j. w. Ford
new has not announced hlmsen as a
candidate to succeed General Il. a.
Alper as United States senator, friends
of the congressman in his own ana
other districts have been urging his
claims quite strongly
While Mr.. Fordney may not be an
active candidate for the place to be
filed in 1907, there is little doubt but
that he desires to be senator some time
and the eighth district would be pleas
ed were his ambitions fulfilled at once.
He will, of course, be candidate to
succeed himself to congress in 1906 and
probably will do nothing to Jeopardize
that place unless he is quite sure OF
winning out in the senatorial fight.
We have reason to be proud OF our
congressman and of the record he has
made at Washington. Certainly no
mistake would be made should he be
chosen to represent Michigan in the
United States senate. Besides his ener-
getic defense of one of the states best
industries and the able way in which
he has represented Michigan as whole,
Mr.. Fordney has done so much for Shia-
wassee county that his ambitions are
regarded here with cordial personal
interest, quite independent of politics.
The Commercial wishes him every sue

The Prairie Farm.

DR.. Bailey, of Chesaning has the
following to say of the Owosso Sugar
Company's big 10000 acre farm in last
weeks Chesaning Argus
Since visiting the Prairie Farm re-
Gently and noticing the many improve
ments at that place during the last
year, think it one Of the most inter
est1ng industries in the State. The
management of the farm under the
directions of Mr.. Bowen is run in a
most systematic way
One of the newer buildings is club
house for the men, the members of
which are over twenty one years of
age. This building is furnished with
small tables for games and other
amusements with all the daily papers
magazines, etc., both in English
and German, where they can read, rest
and be entertained. They also sell
the best liquors that can be obtained
and others of various kinds, but 10
man is allowed enough drink to be-
| come intoxicated. This is done to
prevent the men going off the farm to
the many little gin mills that sur
round the place and after spending all
their money in drink and carousing
| are unable to work the next day
They claim this has produced wonder
fully good results in 80 short time,
that they feel sure of the success it
| will prove to be in time.-The money
spent in this way at the club rooms is
returned to the men by addinglto, and
improving the club There Sis also a
barber shop in connection with this
building.
There is dormitory just, finished
for the women and girls, in care of a
woman fitted to look2after the welfare
of the girls both physically, mentally
and morally. The building will &C.
commodate 210 girls and women.
Mr.. Bowen spoke with regret that
there should have BEEN: any harsh
criticism of him and his action during
the floods of last spring a1year ago by
any Of the Chesaning people, las he had
tried to be just and fair with.all, and
appreciated the effort made to relieve
their distressed condition.
Mr.. Bowen, this week, seemed
pleased to show us around the place,
and we found him very genial, pleas.
