PRAISE FOR FREDERICK WAROE
Noted Shakesperian Exponent
Spoke to rOwded House,
Audience Delighted.

Frederick Warde has no doubt faced
many larger audience, but we venture
to say none more appreciative than the
one assembled at Longwel's opera house
last Thursday evening The appearance
OF this noted Shakesperian exponent in
Paw Paw created demand for seats
which taxed the capacity of the house
available when Mr.. Warde appeared
before the audience. The speaker was
introduced by Rev. M. Grigsby in a
highly mplimentary manner, and with
a few preparatory remarks entered at
once into brief description of the
early life of Shakespeare.
Passing from the descriptive to the rid
iculous, the speaker showed the fallacy
of the Baconian theory as advocated by
Ignatius Donnelly and others, and fay-
ed the supporters of Sir Francis in
manner evidently highly pleasing to his
audience. The portrayal Of several OF
the more noted characters to be found
in the several works of the poet was
probably the most interesting feature Of
the lecture, showing as it did the facility
with which the speaker could adapt
himself to the peculiar traits Of the var
ious subjects. The entertainment was
literary treat in every sense OF
the word and the Fellowship club is
to be congratulated in it's effort to secure
this talented and interesting speaker.

VAN ALSTYNE GETS
A JAIL SENTENCE
Convicted Of Violation of Local
Option Law at lids.
Sentenced at Noon.
GROSS VIOLATION WAS SHOWN
Court Scores Prisoner, Then Gives
Him 90 Days and Costs
Taxed at $4O2.

Charles III. Van Alstyne was convicted
in the Van Buren, circuit court at IL AS

considerable attention, and the court
room has been crowded to it's capacity
during the week The jury was sworn
Monday and some testimony taken.
Forty witnesses were sworn in all, 30
for the people and eight for the respond
ent The testimony tended to show
that the respondent had an utter disre-
gard for the law, selling to minors, to
drunkards and to those who drank on
the premises. The testimony, argu-
men,s Of counsel and charge of the
court we're conclude at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning, when the jury re-
tired. At ll:45 they returned into
court with verdict of guilty.
The court Immediately ordered the
prisoner to stand up and receive his
sentence. Before passing sentence,
Judge Des Voignes stated that he had
been disposed to give druggists a fair
chance to ooey the law; that he had i'm
posed fine on some, but that it did no
good; that there was evidence of bad
faith ID this case, and that he was dis
posed to make it a Jail sentence. Van
Alstyne was then given sentence of 80
days in Jail and ordered to pay the costs
taxed at S402, and in default of the pay
ment of said costs to serve go days addi-
tional in the county Jail.
The law abiding citizens of Van Bu-
rem county will heartily approve of

The Large Crowds that Have
FlOcked to Paw Paw Confirm
the Above Statement.

Paw Paw has long had the reputation
of being the best trading point in Van
Buren county, but the past two weeks
have been a record breaker for the home
merchants. The various stores have
been crowded to their capacity nearly
every day and many comments have
been heard in regard to the many bar
gains offered. Many of the merchants
are offering special bargains and the ex.
traordnary low price sales advertised in
the local papers have attracted many
people from all parts of the county.
We invite the readers of The True
Northerner to careful perusal of our
advertising columns, and visit to the
county seat will confirm the statement
that Paw Paw is the best trading point
in the county.

Two Pounds.

The editor of the True Northerner is
in receipt of a fac specimen of grape
fruit from the orchards of f. S. Doud &

fruit is the largest ever seen here and
weighed two pounds. In flavor it is far
superior to any fruit grown in the

ABS BEAR IS At LAST HERE
for it is Now on Display
at the Store.

Alb Showerman's bear has at last ar.
rived and he again enjoys the confidence
OF his friends. Last fall when the Paw
Paw deer hunters were on their annual
trip north, word came that Ab Shower
man had got bear. Many comments
were heard among the natives of the vii
lage in regard to Abs skill as hunter
and everyone auXiously awaited the
the close of the hunting season when he
would return with his bear. A large
crowd OF admiring friends met him at
the depot to tell him how proud they
were of him aud to escort him through
the principal streets of the village. But
10 and behold, Alb came, but no bear.
BY way of explanation he told his
friends that be had secured bear all
right but that bruin had escaped on the
way home This statement did not go
with his friends and they lost confidence
in him.
Every thing is lovely now, however,
and Alb again enjoys the confidence and
esteem of his nimrod friends. The bear
arrived last week aud is on display in

ROD AND GUN CLUB
ANNUAL MEETING
Held at Hartford last Tuesday.
Good Attendance and En-
thusiastic Meeting.
PASSED STRONG RESOLUTIONS
Condemn Wisconsin Steal and
Favor License for Hunters Of
Game Birds.

The southwestern Michigan rod aud
gun club held it's annual meeting at
Hartford last Tuesday There were
about 200 present from Van Buren, AL
Logan, Kalamazoo, Cass, and Berrien
counties and the meeting was pleasant t
and profitable one.
After enjoying the splendid exhibit of
specimens collected by President A.
Egas, the meeting was called to order in
the academy of music, and the time de-
voted to the discussion of various phases
of the laws which are of interest to the
hunter and fisherman. An effort was
made to pass a resolution favoring a
rod and gun license, but the members
did not take kindly TO the idea, and the
best that could be done was a clause fa-
voring license for hunters of game
birds.
The following officers were elected
President A. Elgas; vice president, f..
A. Chase, secretary w. G. Wildey, treas
urer, j. S. Colwell of Benton Harbor.
1t was decided to hold meetings of the
club biennially instead of annually
as heretofore, and the next regular
meeting will be held at Hartford two
years hence. A committee consisting
of e. A Chase and G. ID. Leach of Paw
Paw and Mr.. Vandevere of Benton
Harbor was appointed to meet
with similar committees from other
clubs Of the state to frame recommen-
dations relative to game laws to be pre-
sented to the legislature at the prese Mt
session.

more dangerous to susceptible young
men than mere beauty She had a
marvelously winning way with her.
Her large black eyes would melt into
tenderness and her white teeth CLEAN
with smile that was enhancing. I
soon discovered that she was quite a
belle in the house. I discovered
but that was later on--that she. was
past grand mistress of the art of
coqaetry. But I am ahead of my
story. | have always Rugged the
pleasing diffusion to my INNER con-

from the first Of Gus acquaintance

her part. Common sense, however,

was the usual complement of board
ers to be found in such a house.
A widower, couple Of elderly bach
elors, four or five clerks, and a
sprinkling Of females to correspond
Among the latter was an ancient
maiden by the name of Della Hunt.
She was little wizened faced crook
ed nosed parsonage with complexion
like a seed cucumber. Little twink

OF hair, which she remedied with
numerous braids, bangs and curls.
She appeared to see and hear every

But the ones that have the most ro-

Some such thought was passing
through my mind the other evening

The unexpected abruptness of the

out the curiosity that was in my
mind.

mamma lived and we had our own
home, there was always box of them
on the window SILL She pressed
one of the velvet beauties to her wan
cheek, and yielding to a sudden i'm
pulse of pity | presented them to
her. The joyous look that spread over
her sad face amply repaid me for the
sacrifice that I had made Of my own
desires. But it instantly faded

II was in for blunder, so I press

talk Of a complimentary nature and
she took them away with her. AS I
turned to go up stairs | saw the frail
form Of Miss Della Hunt leaning over
the baluster. Of course she reported
the scene to Miss Mason, with en-
bellishments that I could only imagine.
When | entered the sitting room

listening to old Griggs, the widower.

Milly in as cheerful way as I could
assume. Apparently we were having
merry time when Miss Hunt looked
in. In a few minutes after Miss Ma
son did the same.
II now believe that she really
wanted to get rid Of me, and took
the jealousy plan to do it. But [ was
too verdant, and too much in love to
think of the possibility Of her giving
my tender young heart such a pun
ishment. But [ have since conclud-
ed that was only the victim of my
own conceit and her coquetry It was
fun for her, but it was terrible,
narrowing experience for me. I ma
neuvered many times to get chance
to ask the cause of her GOODNESS. If
she were jealous of poor Milly I could
easily explain that away. But Miss
Hunt was always in the way. She
seemed to be on the lookout for me.
She Swallowed me as soon as I en-
tered the house, and never relaxed her
surveillance, until the street door
banged after me. Often then if I
glanced back, [ would see her head
protruding from some upper window.
So went to the expense of hiring
buggy one day to take Miss Mason
riding and thus force an opportunity
to declare my love. But Miss Mason
was not at home. I could not afford
to waste that buggy hire, so [ invited
