The Button Craze.

Beware button trimming on your
summer gown unless you have quanti-
ties of pretty buttons to use. Half a
dozen buttons of ordinary style scat
tered on blouse, and dozen more
on a skirt make no showing whatever.
On the summer coat you may use two
or three very large, ,howy buttons on
the front, but if you are trimming a
gown with them you must have doz-
ems of. small buttons arranged In
groups or designs. Neither are plain
buttons used except on severely tai
lored suits. The crocheted button is
most popular.

Common Council City of Belding.
Gentlemen-ln view of the fact that
hydrophobia in a severe form is present in
Berlin. Grand Rapids and other nearby
places, deem it essential that measures
should at once be taken to guard against
the introduction of it into our city and
would recommends:
lst That steps be taken to collect the
dog tax as rapidly as possible.
End. That each dog upon which tax is
paid, be required to wear a substantial
collar with tag indicating the tax has been
paid.
5rd. That all tramp dogs be disposed
of in humane manner and owners Of all
other dogs be cautioned that all dogs that
show any signs of vciousness whatever
must be kept on the premises of the own
ers or muzzled or BOTH

1t is with sincere but mourntul
qualifications that | attempt to per-
form the duty which by your kindly
invitation has been assigned to me
to day
We have met to-day by the de-
maud = an -i,utl and the dictates
of fraterna! love to pay tribute of
respect to the memory of a brother,
whose name has been erased from our
regiuter by the finger of death. aud
to dedicate to his name this granite
memorial.
1t is an inspiration born Of Heaven
and for US the grave loses some Of its
horrors, when you feel and know
that when you have answered the
roll called above, fraternal bands
will perform for you the duty which
you peaform to-day.
We are assembled around this
grave to render the last sad service
Of the living for the dead. Monu-
ments to the memory Of the departed
may be unveiled, but speech can not
reveal the mystery of death, and the
requirement of nature tells us that
this is the end Of service Of beauty
and glory Of the earth.
He who sleeps here was a son,
honored with a mothers love; bless
ed in flIal affection by loving faith
err He died as the golden sun OF
life was archlng past the glories OF
the dawn, aud the shadows were still
bending toward the west. In the
sparkling morning tide. when hope
rode on fancys wings toward ambi.
tons goal; when the Great Artist
was blending colors in the opening
rose Of buoyant life, the cold hand
OF the universal averager smote ath
wart his brow and he fell asleep with
the multituder that has gone before.
The young who sport with passir 9
hours, and in the coming years SEQ
only sunshine, to whose minds there
is no certainty Of doubt or sorrow are
not exempt from the power Of the last
enemy.
Beauty is marred, the sweet joy
