low-hued dog, a sort of amber-colored
purp, with no thought OF the future
and no cares weighing upon his dog

gish black, very streaky and very
dirty and he smells like turpentine.
II all came about through that hor'
rid painter, Charles Lawrence, being
called upon 10 paint the Best home

Charles Is an industrious painter, MS
specially being houses and barns and
fences and such. At portraits, land
scapes. living and breathing persons
and animals. he is not so good. he
said In police court, Thursday morn
ing, that he simply had to take
chance on Muggins.
He was painting the house, he said,
and Elsie Best stole his putty.
Hey. you, come back here with
that putty" was the way Charles de-
ciares he asked for the material.
Elsie says that Charles added more
to the request, most OF his remarks
being very undignified and inspired
by white anger. There was a deal OF
parleying back and forth, in which
Elsie's little sister took an active
part. They declared in court that
Charles was no gentleman and that
he swished black paint upon their
dresses from his paint brush.
Right here Is where Muggins comes
in. He couldn't stand by and see his
mistresses deluged with black paint.
! He waited for the call TO action and
when Elsie said Sick en- he
'sicked." The rest is best told in
Charless own words.

Notice to the Public

The Owosso Board of Health de-
sire to direct the attention of the
people of this city to the urgent nec-
essity OF cleaning up their premises
and keeping them clean. Not only is
this a commendable practice to en-
hance the beauty of our already at
tractive little city, but, what is far
more important, to reduce the pre-
valence of disease.
Malodorous collections Of rotten
refuse of all kinds is not only dis
agreeable to the nostrils, but is a
breeding place for disease germs.
1t has been demonstrated that the
common house-fy conveys on his
feet millions of these germs and is
the means of transferring them to
food wherever 1t is accessible.
Therefore, the breeding places OF
both disease germs and flies should
be done away with, and the windows
and doors of dwellings, markets and
provision stores provided with
screens to keep out the dirty fly.

BURROWS AS AN ORATOR.
Senator Beveridse Glasses Him With
the Greatest In Land.

WASHINGTON-A group Of sem
Rtors were discussing oratory recent.
ly in the cloakroom.
II consider Senator Burrows one OF
the greatest orators in the country to-
day, despite his age" said Senator
Beveridge, himself one OF the great.
est public speakers in the United
States. "He has the faculty Of hold
ing the attention OF his audience, no
matter how dry the material with
which he works, and no man has done
more for the Republican party than
Senator Burrows with the speeches he
has made during the various national
campaigns since the war. / remember
we'll as a boy how the coming of Sem
ator Burrows to Indiana to make
speech was always the signal for
monster turnout. He was one OF the
most popular orators who ever toured
our state"
And the other senators agreed with
yenator Beveridge.

BURROWS HAD COURAGE.
Stood For Gold When Michigan Was
In Grave Doubt.

LANSING-A number OF men prom
inent in the political life OF the state
were gathered in the Downey House
recently discussing national issues.
The conversation naturally turned on
the vacillating course pursued by Ger.
tain Michigan congressman on the so
called "insurgent" movement In the
house.
only a man with big heart, with
sublime courage, should be elevated
to the senatorship," said one OF the
old timers. I'VE don't want a man in
the senate who is SO busy straddling
the great questions of the day that his
tailor can't keep him supplied with
trousers. All of which reminds me Of
a time when Senator Burrows showed
the courage he possesses. 1t was back
In 1895, when the silver craze was at
it's height, and 1t was hard to tell just
where Michigan would land. Senti-
ment was so divided that practically
every man in public life was carefully
avoiding any public declaration on
the subject.
But Senator Burrows did not avoid
the issue. AS a matter Of fact, he
deliberately courted fight. He was
then in congress and was a candidate
for election to the senate at the next
session of the legislature. But at a
Chautaqua meeting at Petoskey, al
though he was not expected to talk
politics, he boldly took up the money
question and made speech favoring
gold which afterwards became a cam
paign classic. This speech was one OF
the contributing causes to his election
as senator, and that speech did much
to hold Michigan in line as a sound
money state"
