Softly Williams, who is almost as
 lazy as Hank Dewberry, worked last
 week for Cy Hoslins at bilding fence.
 On Wednesday Cy he had to make a trip to the co. seat on business, and
 being afeard that Softly might take advantage of his absents by setting around in the shade under the trees and loafn instid of worlin, Cy before he left told his wife. Sary Jane, Co keep her eye on Softy and sec that he kep at work Well, after Cy had went, Sary Jane tux her knittin and went out and set down under tree near where Softly was at work SO as she couid watch him, thinIdn that when he seen her there he would nearly bust hisself biidin fence. Now, Softy ain't nobuddy's fool, even if they do call him Softly. He knowd right of that Cy had sent his wife up there to keep him at work, SO Softly he drops works and goes over and sets down beside Sary Jane in the shade where she was .nittin and says to her: I'm purty bizzy biidin fence for your husband, Sary Jane, but I'm too much of gentleman to keep at work when folks comes out into the field to cali on me l feel that it's my duty to stop work and entertain you as long as you remain. may not have a very good ejjicashion, but I hope I ain.t forgot my nianners-1iee day,
 Result was Sary Jane didn't stay moren 2 minnits. She hilSed right back 1tords the house in deep disgust, and Softly he hollers out to her to come back and see him again soon. Then he went to work agin.

l For this ishue of the Bugle we take our editorial pen in hand tc write a lerned editorial on the sub jecEt of Human Energy and What It's Good For"
 This subjeckt has been sujjested to us by the Bingville Bugle motto which has appeared in this news Ipaper for 10, these many years past the meaning of which we have had to explain SO offen to our subscrib- CTS that it has become turrible mo- notonous and so we take this means of explaining it in print so as here after folks wont allus be askin us lwhat it means and pesterin us to deth from time to time by foolish kwestshions.
 You will find this motto at the head of this ishue of the Bugle where it has been ever sinst the Bugle was started. When the Bugle was started we felt that we ort to have some kind of a motto to print each week like other first class newspapers have-kind of a trademark as you might say and so we aslet old Simon Whitaker who was at that time teacher of the Bingville school to get us up a mot to. Well, Slime he done it and brung the motto to the office and explained to us that it was latin and so we put it in the paper and there l it has stuck ever sinst. In the meantime Slime has went to his last reward, but the motto still appears right under the bee at the head of this newspaper as follers:
 "TNERGIA FATUM PARIT. |"
 This is latin for Energy begets sucksess." Some of our subscrib- CTS has went and got this motto turrible twisted in the past. Hod Peters for instants once askt us if it didn't mean that Nothing suckseeds like sucksess" and when we told Hod it didn't he was a good cal surprised. Then there was Cy Hoskins-Cy he once wanted to know of us if "Tnergia fatum parit" didn't mean, Energy fattens the parrot" When Cy askt us that we was simply disgusted with his ignorunts and told him SO rite to his face and eyes. But then what can you expeckt of a chap like Cy who ain't never been further away from home than the co. seat and ain't scarsely got enuff ejjicashion to read and write his own name? You can't expect much, can you7 No, you can't. You can't expeckt Icy to be able to read latin-Cy he don't know any more about latin Ithan he does about liberality being az he is one of the tightest wads in

 log and the saw within foot of him and workin closer every seckond.
 Ranse couldn't understand why Hank should keep on a settin there facing deth less he desired to commit sui eide SO he moshions to Hank to come away. Hank was as white as a sheet and Ranse says his eyes stuck out like that he couldn't git up, and so Ranse he give jump of about Is 1t. and lit beside Hank and grabbed holt of him and puld like a 2-hoss team. Just as the saw was about to enter Hanks vitals Ranse jerked him loose and both fell down on the sawnill floor on top of each other. The next instant the saw cut right through where Hank had been settin.
 Ranse he stopt the saw and they be- gin to investigate and discmverd that the seat of Hanks pants had been tore out by the roots. as you might say, and was still stickfi fast to the log where Hank had been settin on it. Then they both reeulized what had occurd, viz, to wit: Hank had set down on a mess of pine pitch on the log, and when he went to git up the seat of his pants stuck fast and he couldn't git loose.
 If Ranse hadn't of had the presents of mind to of yanked Hank offen that log jest in the nick of time, Hank would of been goner shure as fate. As it was Hank was so scairt that he didn't eat a mouthful all the rest of that day and his appetite didn't come back on him nacheral until late that night then he ct whole appel pie and half which made him dream that he was being sawed in two by up-and-down saws all mite long. . .a,
 The pr of pants which Hank had on was good pr of pants, being as he hadn't wore em very long, but while Hank says he hates t,irrible to ruin his pants, he would dog-gone site ruther lose the seat outen his pants than to lose his life. We don't blame Hank for feeling that way about tive would feel that way about it if we had of been in his place, which we be glad we was not.

Pertinent Personals

The nights is got to be leetle mite more coolish than they was spell ago but then that's what we must expeckt this time of the year.
 We made a note of couple of per- sonals which sumbuddy told us down town tother day and then went and lost the piece of paper which we made the note on, and being as our head was so crammed full of other news we went and forgot who the personals was about and therefore can't publish same in this ishue of the Bugle. If whoever told us these personals don't see them in print they will know why, and if they will remind us of them later we will be glad to print same.
 Deacon Andrews is laid up with a bealing in his ear. We paid him a friendly call and sympathised with him. We told the Deacon that we had knowd of several cases of bcalings in the ear which proved fatal, but it didn't seem to cheer him up bit. A bealing in the ear is good thing to keep a persons mind offen other disagreeable things.

Business Continues Improving.

In the industrial field signs of re,
cuperation continue to multiply, says
Banker Henry Clews in his weekly
Eetfer.y He adds: GAS said in pres
yious advices, the volume of produc-
non in most industries is not yet
equal to that existing before the
panic yet the tendency is towards a
tunately there is a brisk demand for
all the products of our mills, both
present and prospective. The iron
industry continues very active, there
being a rush of orders for nearly
All classes of steel products, while
The pig iron output, which last
month was at the rate of 25,500, 900
tons, is rapidly approaching record
breaking proportions. The cotton
industry continues quite active,
though somewhat handicapped by
The high price of the raw material.
There is, however, an entire absence
of oversupply, and a brisk demand
tor cotton goods is reported in all OF
khe Western markets. The only
branch of this important industry at
present suffering is the export trade,
which naturally feels the effect or
high prices. In the wooden bust
ness there is much activity; the mills
are well sold up and prices are firm,
largely owing to the advance and ac-
tivity in wool, which is comparative
ty scarce. Only one important mar
ker has Jagged behind and that has
been copper. The domestic demand
for this article is now improving in
common with other metals, and bet
ter prices would have been realized
no doubt were it not for the fact
that production is still increasing
faster than consumption and run
ming at record-breaking figures.
Mercantile prospects are excellent
and business men generally are not
only anticipating a good fall trade,
but are making preparations accord
mgly."

Michigan Primary Law.

The new primary law greatly re-
stricts the activities of candidates
for Office in Michigan, compared
with the old law. 1t is now unlaw-
full for a candidate to circulate any
printed matter, or advertisement, OF
greater dimensions than four inches
in length by two and one fourth
inches in width, excepting postal
cards and letters. No Autograph or
printed matter may be circulated if
it contains a cut of the candidate
larger than two inches high by one
and half inches wide, except in a
newspaper having a bona fide circu,
lation of more than three months
standing. Newspapers are prohibit
ed from charging for this service a
rate greater than the highest rate
named on its advertising schedule
1t is made unlawful for a candidate
to post or cause to be posted, any
campaign card, banner, handful
poster, Autograph, half-tone, engrav-
ing, or photograph, of himself with
in the territory in which he is candi-
date. 1t is also made unlawful for
a candidate, after he has announced
his candidacy, or filed his petition,
to purchase drinks Of any kind fol
his constituents, or permit treating
to be done in his behalf by others.
The obvious intent Of these restric-
tions is to cut down the advantage
which a candidate of ample means
would have over a comparatively
poor man running for office. 1t will
be effective to this end, within its
limits, but those limits are so cir
cumscribed that the practical effect
of the law will be nil. The well-to-
do candidate is still permitted to go
as far as he wants to in spending
money for organization and poll
work, and, il he so desires, can
swamp his less we'll off rival If it
is desired to equalize the situatiA
between two men with purses of diff
ferent length it must be done by a
rigid limitation on the amount of
money allowed to be spent in CAM
for the different Offices, and
the limit set would have to be al
small one.-Marquette Mining jour-

oommends Congressman Fordney


The st. Johns Republican of last
wsSk gave place to the following letter
from Hon. Otis Fuller commanding its
editorial on Making Tariff Law, "
which was re. printed by THE TIMES
last week. We ask our readers to con-
slider what Mr.. Fuller says
THAT was an able and red hot edi-
sorial with the right kind of protection
sentiment in the Republican Thursday.
The business interests, farming inter
ssts and labor interests depending upon
business prosperity owe deep debt of
gratitude to Congressman Fordney and
Senator Burrows for the splendid and
successful fight they have made to save
she party from the raids of a handful of
imitation republicans who would trade
republican protection for free trade
votes
In spite of the free trade yowls of the
On esp dailies, the business and farming
interests and the bread earners of Michi-
gan are still for the Mckinley brand of
protection. The cheap coat for the
lsbering man and big wages for the
,nan who makes the coat are just free
trade gruff, bluff and bunk, but it has
been industriously worked by the penny
Dapers and the penny politicians during
Che recent business disturbing raid on
he protective tariff. You are right in
ssyfng that there is no room in the
republican party for free traders.

Low RATES FOR STATE FAIR.
Michigan Passenger Association De-
cIdes to Sell Tickets to Detroit for
One and one-HaIf Fare, Round

cides to Sell Tickets to Detroit for
One and One-HaIf Fare, Round
Trip.
The Michigan Passenger Associ-
alton, which passes on the matter of
granting special rates over railroads,
has decided this year to give a rate
to the Michigan State Fair which
opens in Detroit on September and
continues until September 10, of one
and one-half fare for the round trip,
from any given point in the state. This
rate will be good all through the ex-
hibition, and the tickets thus pur-
chased may be used on returning as
late as September IL.
The railroads, through this conces-
sion, will aid largely in swelling the
crowds at the state fair and making 1t
one of the greatest successes In the
history Of Michigan.
The management of the State Fair
Is now hard at work perfecting plans
and arranging for the big fall event.
Concessions are still being booked
and some of the finest attractions to
be secured will be seen at this fair.
There seems to be strife on among
Iho moJoiiIy vi oIdleS lnlS year 10
make the annual exhibits more inter
esting and attractive than usual.
Michigan has absorbed the same spirit
and by the aid OF enthusiastic officials,
the event in Detroit will be worth
travelling the entire length of Michi-
gan to witness.
With cheap passenger rates and lib
eral shipping facilities for exhibitors,
the management of the Michigan
State Fair is planning for a great dis
play the coming fall. 1t is suggested
that persons who contemplate a trip
this summer, defer such pleasure until
fair week, take advantage of the low
railroad rates and attend the big ex-
hihit
