THE WEDDING.

o., may your blended lives be double
sweet,
And may you wend the path of Bun
vans dream,
In violet wales where storms can new
er beat,
through myrtle meads beside Sill
Yer stream,
Tie gates of heaven ajar, afar
agleam.
Long may your VOWS be true TO never
par,
BY yours the brightest future love
can weave,
May sumner song birds sing within
esch heart,
May golden autumn all your fields
5esheave,
So all the tales of gypsy hope be-
lieye.
That trials come not earnestly we
pray,
But should they come we know you
both are brave,
May children, seraph souls from heav-
en- astray,
To brim your cup of bliss and flow
err pave
Your path and ease your footsteps
10 the grave.

sheriff's Slayer Taken to Detroit.

From the clutches OF a mob that
was beginning to swarm about the
county jail at Monroe. William Henry
Harris. self-confessed murderer of
Sheriff Edmund Dull. was snatched by
j. NJ. Mclaughlin. chief Of detectives
OF the Pennsylvania railroad service,
j. c. DeLisle, OF the +. H. Murphy
agency, and Acting Sheriff George
Renner, OF Monroe, and taken to the
Wayne county jail, Detroit, for safe
keeping.
The transit was an exceedingly
dramatic one. Men began to crowd
about the jail, urging each other TO
action. The officers knew the Jail
would not withstand any determine
assault. An automobile was secured
and driven TO the back door OF the
jail. Into this the prisoner was hur-
ried, and the machine dashed out into
the country, whore detectives and
prisoner boarded a car for Detroit.

CONSERVATIVES In the Poorhouse..

In many counties in this state desti
tute tuberculosis patients are sent to
county infirmaries TO die, and horrible
conditions prevail in consequence,
said Secretary Murray, of the State
Board of Corrections and Charities, at
Lansing.
Il have just returned from Cheboy-
gan county, where a consumptive is at
the county infirmary living with the
other inmates. although he has reached
a condition where death may come at
any moment. That seems to be the
system or many counties. In Iron
county four tubercular patients have
died at the poorhouse. and the matron
rendered her resignation when the
NTH was brought there, declaring she
would not be party to the crime any
longer.
In Cheboygan county there is a Jail
which is simply terrible"

OBSOLETE WAR VESSELS.
MICHIGAN

Uncle Sam has about thirty one.
time fighting ships that he would like
to sell 10 the highest bidder. The yes.
sells range from obsolete monitors TO
big battle ships that are no longer
possible because of the increased eff
cheney OF more recent guns. Just what
TO do with these vessels is a perplex-
ing problem that confronts the navy
department, for there seems to be no
purchaser In sight. Sell them for
pleasure yachts" was the suggestion
of one member of congress. But no
one seems to be laundering after a
yacht in the form of cruiser that
would require crew of 200 or 300
men. Then again the fuel bill OF the
proud owner OF a cruiser-yacht would
be decidedly heavy, not TO speak OF
the expense of feeding such crew,
keeping the old craft in repair and a
few other minor incidentals that would
run the annual bill into hundreds of
thousands. The average citizen will
not bother his brain greatly over the
disposition Of these costly has-beens.
The government pays big salaries to
men who are trained as experts in
such matters. The chief interest OF
the situation to the citizens is the

According 10 the crop report just

the short crop. The prospect for an
average crop in the state is as fol-

northern counties, 90 per cent.
A year ago the prospect for full

details so far as TO name the winter
varieties in their order that promise
the best results. They are, Baldwin,
