METHOD IN THEIR MADNESS
TImld Man Gets New Wrinkle as to
the Management Of the
Church Bazaar.

A tlmid man unused to the methods
employed in the management of a
church summer bazaar looked with dis
may upon the heap of china frag-
ments that had been swept into one
corner of the room
did all this stuff get broken here
tonight" he asked
The pretty attendant at a nearby
booth assured him that II did.
"Then how on earth do you make
any profit" he asked. IF so much of
your stun gets smashed"
oh" said she candidly, ITS the
smashing that counts. 1t is the funni-
est thing, but somehow everything
happens to get broken just at the
time when some person who is able
to buy gets through looking at II, and
as the guilty wretch feels that his
carelessness may have caused the ac-
cident he squares himself with his
conscience by paying about three
times as much as the thing was
worth. Wouldn't you like to look"
She waved her hand above her own
table full of fragile bric-a-brac.
Not on your life!" said the timid
man. and he backed of TO a respect
full and safe distance.

NOT ALL GOODNESS OF HEART
Pullman Porter Had Good and Suf-
ficlent Reasons for His Prof
fered Services.

What numbah, LADY," asked the
pleasant looking porter of the wom-
an who entered his Pullman an hour
prior to train time.
Upper &c." answered the mild pas
senger.
Upper 49," The porter's exclama-
ton was almost a shrek, and his yell
low face screwed itself into wrinkles
of concern.
81 know it's hard" sighed the wom-
an, as, with a softening of her heart, she
felt that this mental was expressing
for her the Indignation she would
have liked to voice herself.
Il don't blieve this ca-ah's all sold
out like that" he scolded. You just
have a seat theah, lady, while | goes
into the office; kin suah git you
something bettah!"
The world was not so bad after all.
There was a goodness in human ma
ture which exceeded her most opti-
mistic dreams. For here was this
man, belonging to a department of
service not noted for it's eagerness to
coddle patrons, taking such a kindly
interest in her comfort
The porter returned, with lag in
his step and a discouraged shake of
his head.
BEST we kin do, lady; got an aw-
full crowd comm on heah tonight"
"Well, it's too bad; but thank you,
just the same. for your trouble"
beamed the recipient of this unusual
attention.
"Ya-as'm. suah it's too bad" NUT
tered the porter, as he started for
the linen cupboard. Il was goin to
sleep in uppah 16 mahselfl Puck

usual to hear repeated favorable com

coming into the town for the first
time with such good reports is there
fore not to be blamed for a certain
show of disappointment at finding
the entire front of some buildings
on the main business streets advertis
ing a circus that has come and gone.
This style of decoration surely does
not particularly appeal to any pro-
gressive notion of municipal thrift,
and even in the advertising business
it denotes the village essentially. AS
one who has genuine confidence in
the future stability and growth of
the city of Grand Rapids | am sorry
to notice a carelessness in this di
rection, and though it be a small
matter in a way, yet the resulting
impression is marked. Civic pride
should suggest these things to the
owners of business places. Paint is
more attractive than glaring posters;
if it was not, you would plaster the
exterior of your home like some farm
ers do their barns. A stranger must
draw his conclusions from the face
of things, and the face of your main
street has some unnecessary
blotches."

improved by the erection of a new
building TO make room for a new
store or some business enterprise, but
what every other lot anywhere in it's
vicinity is benefited by said improve
ment. Likewise this improvement
has a favorable tendency upon the
entire city as whole. We therefore
urge that property holders and bust
ness men upon either one of these
streets do everything in their power to
encourage those who are trying to i'm
prove the business prospects of this
city. What we say of these two
streets is equally true of every other
street and part of this city It will
be EOticed that since the stockholders
in the new amusement hall have
decided to build their new structure
upon lots facing upon First street
north, other sales have taken place
and there is a general air of confidence
manifested in this part of the city
which has always been heretofore
considered quiet part of the city.
The city of Grand Rapids has bright
prospect and the local Interest on one
or either side of the city, should not
stand in the way or retard the pro-
gress of any new enterprise or under
taking, no matter where the manage
ment or stockholders decide to locate
the enterprise. We want to pull
together in favor of any improvement
that we can induce to come into our
city and locate among us. 1t is per-
fectly natural for US to be more or
less selfish in our desires and we
would not be human if that instinct
had no Judgement in our make up.
But while that is true it ought not
retard or stand in the way of any i'm
prOvement wherever located if it
eventually proves to the public good.
Let's unite together and pull for the
general advancement of our little
city.
