j. b. Showerman spent Sund ay last
with his family in Paw Paw for the first
time IN three weeks. As state bank ex.
aminer he has been busy for the past

BUMP OF CURIOSITY
IS WELL DEVELOPED
Thrust His Hand Into Electric
Fan. Finger Badly Lacerated.

The writer has read of that strange
sensation one feels when standing on the
edge of some great pre- ecpice, and the
impulse some people feel when at some
great height that they must Jump into
space to see how it feels. Never until
this week, however did we ever hear of
one whose bump OF curiosity was so pro
nounced, or who became so facinated
with the whrr of an electric fan that
he would deibo rately thrust his hand
into the rapidly revolving wheel.
But that is just what happened to one
of our prominent business men, however,
at Dibnle and Salisbury tonsorial par
lors last Monday. The party in question
walked into the shop, stood and listened
to the music of the rapidly revolving
wheel for few minutes, walked up to
the machine and without saying a word
or winking an eye deliberately thrust his
hand into the wheel. lie removed the
bruised and mangled finger, or such por-
tions OF it that were not left hanging on
the machine, made some remark to indi-
cate that he was not entirely satisfied
that he had giant intellect at that par
tIcular time, and started for the doctors
office.
The wound is g painful one, and it will be
some time before Neil can do engraving
with any degree of comfort, or before be
will again allow his bump of curiosity to
get the better of his judgment.

decline of that strong body, which had
been so adequately helpful to all his
needs for 81 years.

manner was ever cordial and full oI
splendid good nature-a characteristic
which is invaluable to the peace and
happiness OF community.

The picnic of the Van Buren, county
association o. E. s. was great success.
Last Tuesday was the day, and the
morning dawned in all its splendor of
sunshine, and radiant with heat. Lady
Fly, Mr. Mosquito and Mrs. Ant were in
a lively mood, and in short the day was
ideal, with all the requisites for a good
old fashioned picnic.
The morning trains arrived with their
load of merry "Stars" and many carriag-

throng. Every chapter 10 the associa-

Mr.. and Mrs. Thayer did all in their
power to make the picnic the success
that it was.
A noon the tables were spread and
loaded down with a boun tiful supply of
good things to eat. 1t really seemed
that the tables were not large enough
to hold the congomeration of dainties.
Nearly 200 found seats at the first table.
Before the gavel sounded for the
guests to be seated, Rev. Olivia j. G.
Woodman, chaplain of the association,
in her usual happy and pleasing manner,
extended in behalf Of Paw Paw chapter

BASS RALLY WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
Annual Outing of Moonlight Fishing
Club Held at Four Mile Lake
Last Thursday.

According to Il regular custom just es-
tablished, the Moonlight Fishing club
gave its Annual Bass Rally. From early
morning till late evening of June l6
there was the gathering of the clans at
the Fuller Mutcher Cottage, Lake Cora.
With the exception of the editors of our
local papers all the prominent men of
Paw Paw were present, with possible an
other exception or two. Lawyers doc
tors, a minister and fishermen were there
in abundance. The latest and youngest
arrival was the genial o. W. Rowland.
1t being a hot breezeless afternoon he
rode from town on his wheel. AS he
feverishly staggered to the pump, he
bouyantly declared he was not at all
warm or tired. At five o'clock the first
supper was served by the famous Mr..
Gre M of Wheat" The famous Kalama-
ZOO chef arrived too late to officiate,
much to the JOY of all assembled. Nine.
teen were seated at the first table and in
accord with the direction of President
Ball, partook OF light lunch. Here is
the laugh. In fact there we're thousand
courses OF the best cooking such as fam
ons cooks of Paw Paw send with their
husbands on fishing trip. About
fifteen others sat at the second and third
table Quickly the ten boats we're filed
after the diners were, and fishing began
in earnest. Boat load after load of
fish were brought in and prepared for
the midnight repast. The tables actual
ly groaued with the food and SO did some
of the champion eaters. 1t was MOTTO
able fact that the prosecuting attorney
and the minister were the last to leave
the table. Had not the supply been
vast that is all they would have left.
After this banquet fishing was out Of the
question for an hour or so. The social
hour that followed was hilarious, and
was closed when the minister found an
innocent game Of hearts in progress aud
upset the table, spilled the cards and or
dered all hands to the boats. The ses-
sion that closed early n the morning OF
the 18th was voted a highly enjoyable
occasion by all. Much credit is due to
Mr. Ball for his skillful managing. Mr..
Varney willingly acknowledged that be
had caught the most and the largest
fish.

And our hair has turned to gray,
Ny hearts just as young, my love Just
as true,
AS it was on our wedding day.
You've been to me Gods fairest flower,
And I've crowned you with my love,
And now we're journeying onward
To that Heavenly home above.
Still while we wait let JOY abound,
Dear little pal and /.
When we're called home through the
Golden gate,
Where all our dear ones watch and wait
May we meet and dwell together, there

PAW PAW AGAIN
ON BASE BALL MAP
Strong Independent Team
has Made Splendid
Showing.
INITIATED THE NEW SUITS
renee. Lost Return Game Wednes-
day. Hartford Comes Today.

Paw Paw is certainly on the base ball
map once more. A strong independent
team has been organized and the man
ner in which they have been disposiug
. of the strong teams Of southern Mchi
gan, begins to look like the good old
base ball days when the Killefers, San
ger and Paige made base ball history in
Paw Paw.
The fans are assured of some splendid
games in Paw Paw during the season.
and they should be we'll patronzed as
the team merits the support of all lovers
of the national sport.
The team initiated their new suits
last Friday by defeating the Lawrence
team by the score of IL to 3. 10 justice
to the visiting team however, it should
be stated that if they had had as good a
catcher as the Paw Paw backstop, the
game would have been much closer.
Lawrence scored first in the second in
ming when on hit and several errors
they succeeded 10 putting three runs
across the rubber. Paw Paw passed
them in their half however when five
runners crossed the plate before the
side was retired.
Summary-Lawrence, runs 3, hits 10,
errors 2 Paw Paw, runs IL, hits IL, err
rors 4.
Lawrence won the return game
Wednesday by the score of l3 to II
The next game on the local grounds
will be this afternoon, when Hartford
comes for return game. The game
between these two teams resulted in a
twelve inning victory for Paw Paw,
score to l. The teams are evenly
matched and this afternoons game
should draw large crowd.
