TALK SEVEN.

It is matter for wonder how many
young wives there are who, entirely un.
beknown. to their husbands. often think
to themselves: what would become of
me if he should die?" She is positive
that he has no insurance; and she wouldn't
mention the matter to him for the world.
But it worries her; and it ought to.
Now, on the other hand, how many
young husbands are there who, when they
ride down town in the morning, and read
in the paper of the unexpected, if not
sudden, death OF some frien !, do not say
to themselves: 81 wonder if lie left his
family anything" Rarely, if ever, does
he chase that question with this one:
Would have anything to leave if the
ca e was miner"
The matter doesn't worry him. The
wife refrains from ever speaking OH the
subject. But she keeps on thinking just
the same. Finally, one day, he has a
thought It's a good one, the best he
ever had; because when man begins to
think he is attacked with the first synp-
toms of action. Only level-headed men
think, and level-headed men want the
BEST.

is able to announce star event for
each day of the Blue Ribbon meeting,
August 1 to 5. That this will be appre-

is little doubt. Hundreds of men who
have been unable to attend on partic-

season it does not matter when they 60

thing sensational in the racing line.
, Futurity, or colt racing, is something
new in Michigan and this year the De-
troit grand circuit meeting willfeature
two events of this sort on the opening
day. Both are for year olds, and for
trotters and the other for PAGERS, and
the two are worth not less than $15, 900.
These races will attract the breeders of
the country and add to the fame of the
driving club.
On Tuesday the Chamber of Com
merce pacing stake of $1,000 will be
raced, and as there are twenty-three
eligibles it looks to be a genuine horse
race.
Wednesday, August 8, is M. & M. day

ing underlined for that afternoon. The
M. & N. field contains twenty-three
horses, and many of them have shown
such speed in June that record breaking
is considered a matter of course.
The free-for-all pace, always a thrill.

free-for.all trotters will show theil
speed, and as Sonoma Girl and Peniss
Maid are expected to meet in this event
it promises to make turf history. Ii

were two barns both filed with hay, a

Asphalt Paving Repaire d.

The council, and particularly the
committee on streets and alleys, is to be
congratulated on the good work done
by Grace & Grayson, the Saginaw con-
tractors, in repairing the asphalt pay
ing on Washington, Main and Exchange
streets. The cost was larger than ex-
pected owing to the fact that the COM
mittee wisely decided it was best to do
a first-class job-while at it and the bill
of little over $500 was ordered paid
at the council meeting Monday evening.
Aid. BRANDED had direct charge of the
work on behalf of the city and gave it
much personal attention and is entitled
to considerable credit.
If the west Main street paving can be
put in equally as good condition the
city will be fortunate.

people. The Detroit Business Univer-

agement, is able to exercise an influence
which insures good salaried position
to every graduate. With an unblemish-

training young men and women for
business pursuits it now has thousands
of its own products as employers look
ing to it for clerical assistants No
person graduating from the d. B. U.
will lack for immediate lucrative en-
ployment as it has continuously many
more calls for help than it can possibly
supply.
