by infinitesimal pearls at each of their
intersections-to a laundry bag.

and from the outside none could guess

Short-Siqhted Landlords.

For some reason which probably
never will be fathomed. landlords will
spend both time and money recklessly
for new tenants and leave the stead
going, prompt-paying and easy going
old ones to look out for themselves
Scores OF times ! have known them
to refuse the smallest request of the
best OF tenants and put the place in
perfect condition for untried new ones
That is an exasperating feature OF
hired homes. and is a common cause
OF driving families to a change, | i'm
agine. We all like fresh paint and
paper, as we like our carpents cleaned
and our furniture polished. and the
landlord is expected to feel sufficient
interest in his property to desire 20
keep IL in first class condition.-Min-

A Fable.


There was trouble among the stars.
For Neptune and Saturn and Mars
In a vast dispute were involved,
And the question that was TO be solved
Was which I'm the path I'm the sky
Should lead the procession on high?
Then interviewed the remainder OF them.
From the moon with her radiance dim.
To the smallest whose CLEAN you may
trace
In the limitless bosom OF space.
At length the dispute was declared
At an end. and the judgment was shared
And subscribed by them all And they
I'VE have all agreed TO be led
BY Saturn, and then shall come Mars
In the stately procession of stars"
When they tried to fall into line
A hitch that they could not divine
Interposed But never one saw
They were held In their place by a law
That could not be broken. although
They decreed that IL should not be so.
We may argue and make smooth our
plan
In all of the blindness OF man:
Our Babels may build undismayed,
But the Immaculate Finger Is laid
On II all! Though In purple we frame
Edicts and DEGREES I'm our name.
Yet still like the stars and the sun
In the orbit OF nature we run:
For a churl will continue a churl
And genius OF heart and OF brain
In garrett an emperor will reign!

1T LEAKED OUT

story Did OF Dog Which Took
Chloroform.
1t has just leaked out that dog
which took large dose of chloroform
survived the shock and still possesses
good bark and as vigorous wag TO
his tail as ever. One day last week
the genial head of the grocery firm of
Robinson & Hudson concluded his dog
ought 10 go to the happy hunting
grounds, and In order to do 1t in an
easy way for the dog as well as him
self, purchased chloroform at Connell
Bros. which they told him was enough
to kill ten dogs the likes of the one
he owned.
At bed time he put the dog in a big
trunk and saturated one OF his old
coats with the anesthetic expecting
and confidently hoping that the bark
would be ship wrecked and forever
lost before morning. On opening the
lid after breakfast out he jumped,
fresh, vigorous and friskier than ever,
having absorbed all the opiate, which
seemed to produce a .greedier appe-
title than ever. The dog still lives
and thriyes amazingly.

Wind and Sea.

The sea Is a jovial comrade;
lie laughs wherever he goes;
His merriment shines in the dimoling
lines
That wrinkle his hale repose;
He lays himself down at the feet OF the
sun
And shakes all over with glee:
And the broad backed pillows fall faint
on shore
In the mirth OF the mighty sea.
But the wind Is sad and restless.
And cursed with an inward pain:
You may bark as you Will, by valley or
hill.
But YOU hear him still complain.
He walls on the barren mountains.
And shrieks on the watery sea:
He sobs I'm the cedar, and means in the
pine.
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices;
And | know not when IL best
The lau~hter that slips from the oceans
lips.
or the 1mfortless winds unrest
There's a Gang in all rejoicing,
A JOY l. the heart oi pain;
And the wind that saddens. the sea that
gladCens
Are singing the self.ame strain.

representation of the turbulent Kath-

Miss Ralph is handsome woman,

She plays the heroine with due APP

At Lansing a majority of Republi-
can Legislators have been busily en-.
gagged in trying to fool the people
The party platform and demands of
the people called for primary reform
legislation. but the subject has been
tackled with an apparent desire to
merely keep up appearances, The
Review admits there may be two sides
to the primary reform system and
that radical law might not prove as
satisfactory as at first thought would
appear; but it calls upon the party to
either come out in the open and de-
clare to the people of the state that
primary reform is a humbug or to
pass bill in line with what was talk
ed during the last campaign The
Republican party is only storing up
trouble for itself by the attitude of
leaders at Lansing.-Portland Re

feelingly of the harmony that had pre-

LAST LONG SLEEP
Henry iIiil, Respected citizen, Passed
Peacefully Away Monday.

hohry uiii, respected citizen, fassed
peacefully Away Monday
Mr. Henry Hill, much loved and
highly respected citizen of this city,
died at the Broas homestead Monday
morning at the age of 81 years after
a long and lingering illness which
has been borne with great courage
and patience.
On account of failing health the
deceased and his wife moved from his
farm home in Orleans la 1903 TO Beld-
ing and have since made their home
at the Broas homestead with Mrs.
Hills mother.
Mr.. Hill was born at Hiram, Ohio,
March /, 1898, where his education
was begun and he lived until II years
OF age, then removing TO Pennsyl-
vania where although but the advan-
tages of a district school we're his, he
gained an education broad and deep,
and of which any one might justly
| feel proud. In 1851 he came to OTIS
co, Michigan, and for several years
engaged in teaching, enlisting in Co.
B, 18th Mich. Inf. as private Sept. ~,
1862, at the call of his country, serv-
ed till the close of the war in 80, and
was mustered out as lst Lieutenant.
November 3, 1869 Mr.. Hill was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Catherine
Broas, and to them one son was born,
Chas. Broas Hill, now living at Or
leans.
In 1871 Mr.. Hill removed to Green
Vile and was associated with the
First National Bank for term of
twenty years, first as teller and for
the last eleven years as cashier, at
the close of which time the banks
charter expired and was closed out
In 1892 Mr.. Hill purchased a farm
In Orleans and removed there hoping
to regain his health which even at
that time was impaired and never
fully regained. And thus few
words give this brief history Of man
who has fallen little short of his
three score years and ten, a man wbo
might dttingly be called one of Gods
noblemen, but so much remains un-
told that has fitted in TO the round
ing out of this life in all these years,
that one might we'll pause and read
between the lines the inner history
of noble life now closed.
Mr. Hill was man of rare intellec'
tual ability, careful reader of the
best literature, an earest christian
and man of sterling character and
worth, who leaves a multitude OF
friends who at this time would ex.
tend their sincere sympathy to the
b.reaved widow, Borrowing son and
other relatives.
The funeral services were held al
the late home Wednesday afternoon
at two o'clock where many friend.
came to pay their last respects. Rev
A. Secord officiated assisted by Rev
j. w. Sheehan and each spoke com
forting words. Mrs. II. A. Lamb, OF
this city, and Miss Mary Fish, OF
Greenville, sang beautiful and APP
propriate hymns accompanied by
Miss Wagner.
