LAMENT OF A LITTLE GIRL

NY brother Will he used to be
The incest kind of girl.
He wore little dress like me,
And had his hair in curl.
He played with dolls and tea-sets Their
And every kind OF toy;
But all those good old times are gone
Will turned into boy.
Mamma made him little suits,
With pockets in his pants,
And cut off all his yellow curls
And sent them to my aunts;
And Will, he was So pleased. helieve,
He almost jumped with joy,
And must own didn't like.
Will turned into boy.
And now he plays with horrid tops
don't know how to spin.
And marbles that try to shoot.
But never hit or win:
And leapfrog-l can't give back"
Like Charlie, Frank or Roy;
o, no one knows how bad | feel
Since Will has turned boy.
| have to wear frocks just the same,
And now they're mostly white;
have TO sit and just be good,
While Will can climb and fight.
But l must keep my dresses nice
And wear my hair in curl;
And worst-O, worstest thing Of all
have to stay girl.

He wished that she had died before

After Running It's Electric Plant
Seven Years q Michigan City Makes
Contract For Current.
In 1900 Escanaba installed an electric
light plant at a cost Of $4,000. BY a
contract recently signed the generating
plant will be closed down, a ten year
contract having been made with q pri.
vate company to furnish current. As
far back as 1905 the finance commit
tee Of the city council advised selling
the plant on the ground that 1t was
losing money. Last June an attempt
was made to bolster up the plant by
having a special audit, the report OF
which showed generous profit by the
usual methods Of suppressing some Of
the large cost factors. When, how.
ever. 1t was found that $15,O Or $20,-
GOO would have to be spent on renew.
Ing the plant, vigorous protest was
made by the citizens, one Of whom
naively asked why the lights were SO
poor and so often out II the plant was
as good as was claimed by some of the
city officials. The city also owns a
gas plant, Of which the Escanaba Mir
ror says:
Excessive rates and an unsatisfac-
tory lighting service being furnished
to consumers Of Escanaba by the mu-
nicipal lighting plant have resulted in
Escanaba becoming the Mecca for rep
resentatives Of gaslight manufactur-
ing companies, and a majority of the
business places on Ludington street
are now being lighted from private gas
plants installed by the store tenaptS."

chip.
The municipal gas plant was sold in
1899, being In debt ut that time for
100000. The plant was originally pur-
chased from private company FOR
$4,000, in addition to which $4,000
was spent Immediately after the pur-
chase. The total amount of debt
amounted ut one time to $310O this
being reduced from time to time from
the taxes and from the income Of the
plant. In 1899 the natural gas wells
gave out and the city was confronted
with situation where 1t must sell out
or spend $4,000 more, for which there
were no available funds. In building
an artificial gas plant. This would
have necessitated a great advance In
the rates. Rather than to do this the
city sold the plant to the Citizens Gas
Light and Coke company for $4,000
which now obtains gas from n pipe
ingly low rates.
When asked regarding the plant, the
former superintendent said:
when the city owned the plant IN.
necessary expenditures were constant
ly being made, while in many cases
necessary improvements were ignored
The pipe line. some Of which was thir
ty years old or more, was In very bad
shape. A large amount would have
been necessary to- put the plant In
shape by the city. 1t was therefore
sold. The company Immediately set tc
work to remedy the defects in the old
plant. SO that now practically all Of
the pipe lines in the city are new. Nc
city can own and properly operate q
gas plant"

is important that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery be taken persistently
TO purify the blood and thereby remove
the cause of the trouble. 1t is in the
blood that the great battle of health has
to be fought. The ulcer and the sore
are simply the scarlet flowers of disease,
with roots running down into the blood.
These roots must be eradicated or the
disease will break out afresh. "Golden

OF all foul and poisonous accumulations,
pushes out the dead and waste matter,
and thus purifies the entire life current.

It is no longer fed by foul blood.

bought the dam and light plant. Last
year when the power proved insudl.

ply auxiliary power. Water in the
