But She Amused hany a Party in
 Her Day.

Superintendent Atwood of the de- pertinent of charities has been notified
 that the board will receive S227 from
 the estate of the late Mrs Maer. The
 full amount due was something in the
 neighborhood of S322 What strange
 woman Mrs Maer was anyway. With
 all this money to her credit she stewed
 and worried and bothered her ac-
 quaintances so that none of them
 knew what to do with her. Some of
 the mare getting back what they gave
 her now. but others have not put in
 their claims and of course they will
 not be thought of At regular prices
 for meals, Mrs Maer must have owed
 an Aver street family almost all the
 cash found belonging to her estate,
 but they have not been heard from in
 the scramble to get share of what's
 left. Probably they felt repaid for all
 the attention she received at their
 hands by the amusement she made for
 them with her quaint stories. efforts in
 fortune telling and her exhibitions with
 the stereoscope. the latter. according to
 Mrs Maer, being the finest one of the
 kind in the country She was a pleas
 ant old lady and until her health failed
 and she was not able to get around among her friends she was a welcome
 visitor at several well to do families about town. She had an inexhaustible supply of interesting anecdotes and way of telling them that delighted the young folks, and even the older people laughed heartily at the grim humor in some of her yarns. every one Of which she knew to be true and stood ready to prove if anybody wanted to step backward half a century or more and take a stroll with her amid the scenes Of her girlhOOd She would show them the fairies in their mad dance the fields. the little fellows with their red caps. using the tops of the daisies and buttercups as stepping stones, at other times nestling on the wings of the wind and finally disap- bearing in a cloud of dust. leaving no trace behind but the footprints of their tiny feet in the sand on the crossroads. | She would point out the lepracaun sit ting in lonesome spot on the road side counting his bag of money. and ] a thousand and one other things in l that line that had come tO her notice l in the days when she had not the re- motest idea of the trials and cares the I future had in store for her.

WHEEL FELL OFF
And Pies, Cakes and Cookies Were
 Let Loose for the Boys.

One of the wheels of Bouffard's bakery wagon dropped of on Cole street this morning creating a mfxuD which threatened to result seriously for the driver and small boy who ocl cupied seat beside him. The wagon tipped over and the horse fell and most of the bread stuffs rolled out on. to the street. Willing hands collected and after hardstruggIe the imprisOn cd man and boy were liberated, th3 sprawllng animal turned right side .sir and the wagon pulled to one side. E1fth the exception of slight bruises whicf the boy sustained on the knee. the driver and his youthful companion ap4 peared none the worse for the experi- enee. An army of boys fiocked to the scene and had fine feast on the pies. cookies. rolls and other toothsome morsels which got soiled in the dirt and the man didn't want to save. The boys had no objection to the sand. Tn fact they acted as if they took it for some sort of jelly and devoured it with relish that would make a dys- peptie envy their appetites.

Why Miehlaan onposes oIeo.

Michigan dairymen are taking steps
to oppose the repeal of the national
oleomargarine law, or the reduction
of its tax Of ten cents per pound on
colored oleomargarine. The law has
been found to be good and has leen
sustained in the courts. II any
changes are made the law may not be
as good in the eyes of the courts as
at the present time. We never know
how a court is going to pass on a
law, and until its constitutionality has
been made certain by suit after suit
based on every phase of the law no
one can tell what will happen. The
dairymen have learned that this law
is invulnerable, and so have the oleo
interests. Now the only way for the
enemies Of the law to assail it is to
get 1t changed wherever possible. In
this way they may be able to mae 1t
vulnerable. Michigan butter interests
are large, there being about ESQ
creameries in operation. and the
amount Of farm butter produced Is
also large.

Feeding the Dairy Calf.

The calf that is to be raised for
the dairy must be fed differently
from the calf that is to be made into
a beef steer. The feeding must be
with the object of inducing certain
habits in the growing animal. The
habits to be established are such as
will result in large production of
milk when the calf becomes a cow.
Therefore fattening foods should not
be fed to the extent of fattening the
calf, as, when the calf becomes a
COW that same habit will result in
turning large part of the food into
beef. On the other hand, If the calf
is not fed so that she gets fat, but
is fed only enough to keep her grow
ing, the habit will be formed of not
laying on flesh. Whole milk Is a
good feed, but is too expensive to be
fed after the first month. After that
SKINNED milk should be large part
of the ration. For digestion's sake
1t is better to add little oil meal in
place OF the butter-fat that has been
removed.
