MEASURING OUT A DRAM.

It's curious to note how in London they are getting into the old American way of serving whisky remarked an old stager. T remember when they never would bring you the bottle, but always poured it out themselves.
 Americans used to kick so much at this custom that finally in many of the hotels they took to letting customers have the bottle, charging for what had been taken out of it when the customer had finished with it. This did not work well with a great many. The normal price for the best Scotch at London public house is six cents. and at a hotel from twelve to eighteen cents. A a restaurant no Americans drink was measured at less than a shilling's worth I used to see just how little liquor I could, call drink, but I never could get it down to a siXpenny worth.
 "One day happened to see an Eng lishman order drink and noticed that the waiter brought with the bottle a little measure. Then I noticed in an other place bottle with the drinks graduated on paper strip on the out side. This gave me the cue.
 "When I ordered whisky I insisted on the waiter bringing a measured bot tie. or if they didn't have that a meas uring glass. always poured my liquor in the presence of the waiter and made him observe how much I was taking and as result saved myself much an noyance and some money.
 By the way. I notice that in some the big restaurants they are beginning to serve you whisky in the glass with out bringing in the bottle. With adul iteration of whisky so notorious as it is in the United States and with the gen

STACKED ALFALFA BURNS

Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning a stack of hay upon the w. R. Tait ranch, just south of the city limits. was dis
 covered to be in flames. An alarm was telephoned in and the fire depart
 ment made a hurried run to the city line. Upon arriving there it was found that the fire was such distance from the nearest fire plug that it would be useless to attempt to lay hose. Many people from the city went down to the ranch and assisted employees of MT Tait to remove wagons and baling ap- paratus from proximity to the blaze It is estimated that there was upwards of 300 tons of hay in the stack The light of the flames illuminated the heavens to such a degree that it was

THE VAST LANDS.

They saw the silences Move by and beckon; saw the forms, The very boards. of burly storms, And heard them talk like sounding

 They saw the snowy mountains rolled And heaved among the nameless lands Like mighty pillows; saw the gold Of awful sunsets; saw the blush Of sudden dawn, and felt the hush Of heaven when the day sat down And hid her face in dusky hands.

Last Week
MANY TRAINS STALLED
Bedding Doctors Have Strenuous
Time-Spent Night in Snow
Bank Between Here and Ionia

There are good many people in this
neck of the woods who would like TO
have hold of the throat of the fellow
who prophecied an open winter. Our
citizens as rule are very peace loving
people, but there are several, at least,
right here in Bedding that would resort
10 mob rule if they could find the fellow
who prophecied the open winter. 1t
has been an open winter all right bnt
il has been opened in a manner not ex-
actly satisfactory 10 all of our people to
say the least.
Last Thursday, however, was the
clincher, the straw that broke the cam
els back. Jupiter Pluvius and Old
Boreas put up a job on this portion of
Michigan that left memory that will
linger for ages and be told by our child
ren's children for many generations.
On the morning of that day several
of our doctors went To Ionia County
Medical society. Their going was ac-
complished with but little difficulty
but the home coming was something
that will linger on their memories for
many years to come. The merry party
boarded the train at lonia about 4:40
expecting TO be at home in the
bosom of their families in short time.
Right here is whereJ. =. got i'm his play
and made different arrangements
The train had only gotten about six
miles out of Ionia when it struck a
mountain of snow and was as securely
stuck in the same as il they had been
buried by an avalanche. All efforts to
release the train were unavailing and
the passengers were obliged TO spend
the night in the drift. The supply OF
water in the boilers gave out and the
train crew managed to keep comfort
ably warm shoveling snow in the water
tank TO keep up steam.
When morning dawned the conditions
had not changed for the better and those
who had passed the long night on the
cars were obliged TO all move into one
car in order TO husband the supply oil
coal and steam. DR.. Dorr of this city

demand i'm their system for something
To eat and both OF them started out on
foot in an effort To reach the promised
land. They battled with drifts some OF
them To their arm pits and finally
reached Orleans, tired and wet and sore
and hungry. The rest of the passen-
gers staid in the car until 300 o'clock
in the afternoon and finally got "A team
TO take them TO terra firma, some going
to Ionia and others coming on here
where the famished crowd raised the
cost of living in Bedding quite material
ly.
The 500 train going TO Saginaw was
unable to get any further than Kidd
vile and the passengers on that train
either slept on the cars or hunted up
rooms at the hotels, the train not get
ting out of Bedding until late Thurs
day. Other trains were cancelled and
Bedding began to realize what it meant
to be cut out from communication with
the outside world. Verilly, if this is
an open winter it hath been opened at
the wrong end.

Mr.. Diekema is especially we'll fitted
for speaker. He served = tilis capac-
while u member of the Michigan
legislature in 1889. He has made a
study of the rules and practices gov
erning parliamentary bodies, and
since he has been a member of the
national house has frequently been
called upon To preside as chairman of
the house.
During his experience in the Mich
igan legislature not \ single decision
his was ever over-ruled, and ut the
expiration of his term he was given
vote of thanks by not only the Re-
publican members of that body, but
the Democrats as well, for the fair
and impartial manner in which he
had presided during the session.
Mr.. Diekema has made an ideal
congressman, and has represented the
Fifth district faithfully and well, and
has proven that his constituents made
no mistake in their choice. In this
connection it may be said that our
representatives in congress should not
be set aside to give place for somebody
else so long as they are discharging
their duties to the satisfaction of the
people unless through seni!ity or old
age their usefulness is passed.
Mr.. Die<ema is young and vigor-
Gus, with his mental faculties keen
and on the upgrade, well balanced
morally and politically, and the
thought uppermost in the minds of
his friends should be TO keep him in
congress. The Cadillac News and EX-
press pertinently remar<s:-
"All the people of Michigan recognize
Mr.. Diekema as an element of strength
to states delegation at Washington, he
should be continued as member of
the Michigan delegation. The second
city of Michigan should not lead i'm a
direction that will reduce again TO a
minimum our states participation in
national affairs. That Which Grand
Rapids and the fifth district has urged
other districts TO do and which the
other districts are doing should be
firmly held TO in their own behalf, and
in the states behalf by the several i'm.
important cities an counties of the fifth
congressional district.
