A True Disciple.

A statesman from the South, who
is confirmed lover of the sport, and
who has more than once accompanied
ex-President Cleveland on his fishing
trips, relates how on one occasion,
when reference was made to the pro-
verbal patience of fishermen, Mr..
Cleveland was reminded of a good
story.
"A friend Of mine" said Mr.. Cleve-
land. was once travelling on foot
through a section of West Virginia
well known for its excellent fishing
grounds. when he CHANGED upon an
angler of the old school-a venerable
old countryman. who as he sat on the
bank looked as if time and the world
might pass away without disturbing
his content
"Have you fshed long in this
stream ." pleasantly asked my friend.
"'Twenty-three years, was the la
comic response of the fisherman, who
scarcely looked up.
"'Get many bites?' was the next
question.
Still gazing intently along the rod
he held. the old angler replied:
Two years ago in this very spot
] had q fine bite "-Harper's Weekly

THE FACTS IN TIKI. CASE
Regarding Removal of Public Charges To
County Hospital.

To the Memb RS of the Poor Board:
We, the undersigned taxpayers OF Paw
Paw township and friends of Mrs.
Rhoda Sheldon, ask you to permit the
lady in question to remain where she is,
at the old ladies' home in South Ha-
ven:
Emma r. Smith
Addie Il. Hunt
Cecilia b. Stevenson
Geo. Nj. Harrison
l. Jay Cummings
II. w. Broughtou
Ii. w. Showerman
and others.
To whom it may concern:
AS the above petition has been made
public and the matter has been thor
oughly circulated, desire that both
sides of the affair be made public.
The members of the board of super
intendents of poor being dissatisfied
with the management of the old peoples
home, and our dealings with them being
very unsatisfactory, after comforting with
the supervisors interested, it was direct
ed that all county charges be removed
from the home to our county hospital
Drs. Vaughan and Elgas, acting under
this advice, proceeded to remove them,
and found Aunt Rhoda Sheldon too fee
bic for removal. Another lady from De-
catur, Mr.. Michels refused to give up
as she was doing his cooking and he
had to have her help. We were paying
her board Mr. Michel published gar
bled and untruthful account in the
South Haven papers which was copied
by other county papers.
Personally, | have the welfare of Aunt
Rhoda as much at heart as any one of
the signers of this petition, and am just
as ready to make her remaining DAYS as
pleasant as possible.
We have a new hospital building with
six double rooms, heated by steam, en-
tirely removed from the other buildings,
and the meals are served separate. These
are arranged for just such cases as this
and the accommodations are much su-
perior to those provided by the South
Haven home.
1t would make our work much easier
il our critics would visit our county hos
pital and see for themselves our methods
and note the care given our unfortu-
mates.
Yours respectfully,
