The Professor Felt Safe.

Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, Harvard
well-known psychologist, did not dis.
parage the Anglo-Saxon new woman"
without mourning the inevitable penal
ties.
The other day he picked up mark
ed copy of a western newspaper which
somebody did not intend should escape
his attention, and as he read his face
assumed a most quizzical expression
Suddenly he began to pat the crown
of his head, which, by the way, is com
pletely bald. The further he read the
more fervently he patted until final
ly he threw down the paper and cried
with simulated chagrin:
'Ach, here is woman in Minnesota
who says If she could only get at me,
how she would pull my hair! Think,
If she could only see me now!"

A Success that Meets Public
Approval.

The organization OF the Wolverine Co
operative Nursery Co, Ltd, is an entire
success, having with it the most repre-
sentative fruit growers Of our section as
charter members BY its plans it seems
very creditable that the purpose OF the
company can be fully carried out. Its
plans were designed by fruit growers and
are a mutual consolidation OF the Joint
interests OF both grower and planter.
Through the medium of cooperation
set forth in their plans great saving can
be made ia the cost of stock to the plant
er, and a much more certain plan of Sc
curing properly grown trees and OF the
right variety. To the company this is
20 loss. The direct purchasing of the
members and their reports on varieties in
demand in their immediate vicinity,
are of value to the company more than
otfsettng the reduction in price. Every
man who is interested 10 the welfare Of
our fruit interests, whether fruit grower
or not, should at least make small in
vestment TO assis this company in enlarg-
ing its capital to such point that it can
successfully combat private combination,
and every man in Paw Paw should lend
a helping hand, not only from the invest
ment standpoint, but for the natural
benefits that must acrUe to the town.

age of p years, he came to Otsego Mich,
and after three years he moved 20 Kali
amazoo, from which place he came to
Paw Paw in 1865, engaging in active
business until his decease December l8,
1906.
He was united in marriage with Miss
Eleanor McColgan, Dec mber IL, 1862.
From this union three children we're
born. two daughters, Mrs. w. r Fossell
and Miss Georgia Rooms, and Onson
Fred, all of Chicago This union was
broken BY the decsase of bis beloved
wife May 7, 1873. Mr.. Kcons again
united in marriage with Miss Emma
Thomas, July %, 1880. He was widely
know and highly esteemed by his bus
mess associates and customers for his
integrity and uprightness.
Socially he made many friends, was
always looking on the bright side and
was genial and companionable. PolItI-
cally be voted for men representing
principle rather than for party and was
champion of the temperance cause.
Religiously, he was converted in union
meeting held in 1876 by the Presbyterian
and Methodist pastors, Revs. Marsh and
Barnes. He united with tn, Presby-
terian church and remained a consistent,
faithful christian to the end.
Mr.. Koons gave literally of time, tai
ent and money to every good cause. For
many years he was known as sweet
singer in Israel, singing the gospel mes
sage in the spirit and with the under
standing also He loved the bible and the
house of God. His was sturdy type
of christianity, always standing to be
counted on the side of rig hteousness. His
home life was ideal, devoted husband
and loving, faithful father. We shall
miss him in all the activities of life.
Earth is poorer, but heaven is richer be-
cause of the passing of his soul to be
with God. We do not mourn as those
without hope, for ours is the hope of the
christian, full of comfort and consolation.
We shall meet him again in heaven,
where sickness, pain and death cannot
enter, and where we shall never say
goodbye.

Monument TO Gen. Custer.

Monroe.-The movement which has
been on foot for the past few weeks
to erect a monument in honor of Gen.
Custer is taking definite shape. Bust
ness men, the council and the Civic
Improvement society, the latter which
was largely responsible in having the
state erect a monument for the brave
Kentucky soldiers who lost their lives
in the battle of the River Raisin, are
all working in unlson.
The monument is to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and is to be
placed on the site of the Custer home
stead on Monroe street.
