The defeat OF the street car pur-

the campaign as to whether what
the present administration was urg-

brought the instant suggestion in
some quarters that Malcolm J. Nc
LCol former collector OF internal
revenue and before that state labor
commissioner and member OF the
legislature in Pingree days, would
be The man for municipal ownership
mayor Of Detroit
The Mcleod argument Is that he

astonishing testimonials have been
received from those who have been
helped by Hyomei.

HUBBY HAD NOT FORGOTTEN
Was Right There With Wedding An
niversary Present, and Yet Wire
Was Not Pleased.

1t was late afternoon and time to
get her husbands supper, but the
woman sitting modify by the fire
never moved.
Her heart was breaking.
1t was her birthday. She had been
married only four years, but he-her
husband-had forgotten her birthday
already. That morning he had given
her no present; not even an extra
kiss before rushing off to town.
Presently there was the sound of
a key turning in the lock. Into the
room came her husband. Still she
never moved.
He bent over her and whispered as
he dropped tiny parcel into her lap:
MANY happy returns, darling!"
Her heart was mended. She sprang
to her feet and seized him in frantic
grasp as she realized that, after all,
he still loved her. Then she opened
the parcel.
Pipe cleaners!" she gasped, as she
displayed a little bundle of feathers.
Eyes, sweetheart" said the man. Il
knew that they'd please you, as you
object to my using your hairpins!"

Such a Iona Time AGO.

He had just reached the philo-
sophical stage when he slipped into a
restaurant between bars for a bit to
eat. He ordered. Then he sat star
ing ahead, quietly thoughtful in ex-
preston, and waited.
1t is admitted he did some waiting,
too. What happened to his order
couldn't be understood outside the
peculiar convolutions of a restaurant
kitchen, but he spent half an hour
sitting there staring ahead of him.
At last it came. AS the waitress
put the order before him he started
from his deep study, as if he had for
gotten he had an order coming. Then,
looking up at the fair transporter of
edibles, he said:
You don't look a day older!"-

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Fair Seaside Visitor Satisfied She Had
Seen Remarkable "Government
Sailing Apparatus"

They were passing the holiday at
Onset and during the course OF the
sunny afternoon took stroll on the
beach. At one point they came upon
an improvised breakwater, where
some resident had filed bags with
sand and piled them in breastworks
fashion to prevent the sea from en-
croaching upon his land during the
stormy season.
One of the young ladies was curious
Immediately. She would know what
the bags were for.
"Why, it's very SIMPLE" explained
her companion with due gravity. "The
water in Onset bay originally was
fresh, a popularity of nature which
has puzzled scientists. 1t seemed too
bad to deprive the place of seashore
advantages so the government took
the matter in hand, filled the bags
with salt and thereby has impaired
the proper flavor to Onset water"
Far from rebuking him for being
fresh" she is now telling her friends
of having seen the government salt
ing apparatus down there.

This one," indicating her daughters
trunk, you may put down for eight
hundred"
How about this little one?" asked
the baggage master, resting his heel
on its top.

temptuously. Ten or twelve dollars
will cover that one"
