Midland is hankering- after a sugar
beet factory.
"Do you know" said a" well known
Horthvilic gentleman to tbe Becord,
"that boys are more particular who
tbey go with than girls? jYou may
think it a strange statement, bub it is
m. A girl will go on tbe street in open
day with a boy who gets drunk but if
a boy found, out that a girl got drunk
he wouldn't go with her. I wish our
■ girls would be a? particular with whom
tbey go as tbe boys are."
Solon D. Coon, the somewhat erratic
Sage of Loomis has decided to leave
tbe wilds of the reservation and engage in the fruit raising profession* ub
Frankfort. Mr, Coon is a member Of
the Isabella county bar,;a -sUaaetit ;0f
great ability, and a good writer for the
newspapers, but fortune has not favor*
ed him financially and he seeks new
Jlelds to conguor. He is an old resident of the county, and the Times regrets bis determination to quit us.—
Central Mich. Times.
Robert Clark has an old horse, named "Frank" which he has trained to
take bis little daughter, Ethel, and
other children to the Eagle school, a
.distance of one mile and a half. When
be makes delivery at tlio school bouse
Jieia turned around and told to go
home which he does with neatn36sand
dispatch. At night be is again bitch
ed to the buj«y and told to,go to tbe
scuooi house which lie does promptly,
unless some stranger, baking him for
ii runaway and, ties him ia a fence
corner. He is very polite, always giving half the road. It there is a horse
in tbe country that can beat him trot
him out,—St. John's Keonbliean.
A farmer acquaintance talks to the
iTcrthville Record like tbisj "It my
friuods bay§ al.ibaster boxes laid away
j'ull of fragrant perfumes of sympathy
and affection, which tbey intend to
break over my -dead body, I would
rather, they would biing them now In
my Weary and troubled honrs aud open
them, that I may oe refreshed and
cheered, while I need them, I woiil.d
rather haye a plain coffin without a
;flower, a funeral without an eulogy,
than a life without tbe sweetness of
lo^e and sympathy. Let u^ learn to
.anoint our friends beforehand for their
burial. Post-mortem kindness does
not cheer the burdened spirit. Blowers
on tbe coffin cist no fragrance backward over tbe weary way by which tbe
loved ones have traveled,"
A young man who lives near the
ailverv stream to the oortb ot us,
came to town Monday, purchased for
himself a line shirt, and for his friends
a box of cigars. .Engaged <i room at
Hotel McBaio, stating that he would,
be in ab about 11 o'clock. He then
hastened to the livery barn engaged a
stylish rig and drove hurridly away.
In the wee small hours of the-morniDg
be returned; thesparkelof anticipated
enjoyment had flown from his countenance and his box of cigars was unopened. The girl had changed, the
old folks had objected whereupon the
would-be groom became abusive and,
 now, for the next sixty days will
be a steady boarder at the couuty
bastile where be will have plenty of
time for reflection.—McBain Chronicle.
It's a sad, sad-story, A young girl,
an infant herself, almost, perhaps, in
strength of mind and judgement, poor-
ly clad, shivering with cold, is found
with a dead child in her arms, only a
short distance from Midland. She is
brought to town, the child.is taken to
the undertaker's, and the poor mother
to the jail. It is rummored that sbe
had been denied admission to ber
mother's home just before the trying
ordeal through which she was to pass,
wronged, cruelly wronged by some
man, scorned by all, tasting the bitterest dregs of life's cup at seventeen
years! The name we will hob print
for the curious to gaze uoon. Let
good women send missionaries, but in
beavan's name do not send them all
to foreignlands!—Midland Republican.
The ayerage jountry newspaper is
very much alive, yet men with murder
In their hearts sometimes succeed in
killing it. You can help on tbe work
by letting* your subscription go; It's
only a dollar or two, tbe publisher
doesn't need it. if he asks you for it
get mad and order bhe paper discontinued. You'll never miss it; you Can
borrow your neighbor's copy, When
the reporter calls, pretend to bo pressed with business and make him feel
that be is an intruder. If the advertising agent appears, give bim the
marble heart. ITeyer drop in to see tbe
editor unless you waut a free notice or
an obituary published for a beloved
relative. Sever recommend the paper
to anyone. If vour editor has a. personal failing. >lake it your business
to let evefcybody know ib. Don'b be
afraid, speak out. Whatever the man
may be he probably knows more than
you- and is too high minded to retaliate
in kind. Pursue this course for a year
or two and you will have a dead newspaper and a dead town, in which event
your occupation  goDe

■Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages are the result of green human
calves being allowed lo turn at large
ia s-jciety's-pusture without any yoke
on. They marry and bave children
before they have mustaches. They
are the fathers of twins before they
are bhe proprietors of two pairs of
trousers; aud the little girls they
marry are old women before they are
twenty years old, Occasionally a
gosling marriage turns out all right,
but it is a chance of luck, If there
was a 'aw against young galoots sparking and marrying before they have all
their teeth, we suppose the little
youngsters would evade ib some way;
but there ought to De a sentiment
against it. It is time enough for bantams to And a pullet when tbey have
raised money enough to buy a bundle
of lath to build a hen house. When
they see a girl thab looks cunning, they
are afraid there Root going bo be enough to go arouud; they begin to spark
real spry, aud before they are aware of
thereaisauctityof marrlige they are
hitched for life; and beiore tbey own
a stove or a bedstead, they have to get
up In the night for a doctor.—Ex.

1 The District School.
Wouldn't it be n good idea for farmer and their wives to visit their district school two or three times this
month and next? In almost every
district there are vague rumors floating around about that the teacher is
not.doingas well as he ov she should;
that Smith's or Browu's children am
especially favored; thab the pupils do
about as- they please; that the schoolroom is nob kept clean, etc., etc. Instead of repeating these rumors and
creating fU-feeling, and possibly serious trouble, the parents should visit
the school-occasionally and get better
acquainted with the teacher and the
methods employed in imparting instruction. Tney sllould endeavor to
make in plain to the pupils that the
teaclierls supreme, arid that all the
rules are right and just und should be
Obeyed without question. The teacher should never be critisised or his
methods condemned in the presence
of his pupils. Disparage the ability
or metliodsDf a teacher in the presence of one of bis pupils and every
other pupil in the school will hear of
it within twenty-four hours, and their
respect for him is lowered, and more
than likely the difficulties he has to
contend with will be doubled.
If, after visiting the school a few
times, one should feel like offering a
few suggestions to the teacher, it
should be done when no pupfl is present, and auy teacher who is striving
to do good w.>rk and give complete
satisfaction -.via appreciate tbe Kindness and discretion show , and (vtll
value ihe suggestion accordintrly.
Every pefoon is pleased to learn that
his work is appreciated. It is ao incentive to greater efforts aud oetter
execution, and parents can do a teacher no greater favor than to let htm
know that his worlds giving satisfaction and that he can rely uuon them
for support if any trouble should arise,
Youcg America is usually quite
capable of baking cdreof all the rights
and privilages allowed him, aud it is a
grand good idea to teach him while
yourrg that none of them shall be
abridged so loug as he obeys the fixed
rules of autiiority. if he takes ib into
his head to defy these rules, and to
consider himself equal to or greater
than his superiors be should be
brought up with a round turn aad
taught that the way of the wilful and
defiant transgressor is hard indeed.
It is the duty of every school director to visit the school occasionally, and
he should not fail to do his duty. A
visit from a good, live school officer,
one who is nob afraid to Hive the pupils
a few words of plain advice, is very
helpful to a school. It invites a teacher to keep a clean and orderly house,
and to carry out to the letter the agreement made when she was employed;
audit satisfies the pupils that the
officers are interested in the school and
are determined that it shall be conducted in the best manner. A school
that both officers and parents take a
lively interest In is certain to be a
thoroughly gdod and live school—such
a one as every intelligent American
citizen is proud of.

Wlien Xovlng MotTie1,1! Grow "Selfialj.
"It is when children reach niatnrlty
that tho supreme test of parental love
comes," writes JEdward W. Bok, dlsonsa-
liig tool home leaving of children at time
of marriage in The Ladles'Home Journal.
"All through infancy and early years tho
children aro more or less care. And then,
Just as the parents feel relieved from oares
and anxieties and are beginning to enjoy
the companionship of their children in tho
serene and complacent way which 'grown
tips'have, there comes a fluttering of the
wings, a rembte suggestion of flight. Tho
son la no lees his mother's hoy than he
has heen and ever will he. But he is-*
and who realizes it so quickly as a mother?
—In a new and -very natural sense another woman's hero, and that woman a girl.
With her he discerns away out on the horizon line the shadowy lines of a house that
is to become a homo, their very own.
The girl, too, whose going in and out of
the house have been a daily joy to„tbe parents—sho, too, has become a horoino to
some one other than her father or her
mother. It is hard for tho parents to realize that this mato of her flight can caro
for her as theyiiRTe; that in her young
eyes, in her young heart, it ia possible that
ho can bo altogether noble and capable.
And after the young^ birds have taken
flight tho parents wonder if sojnetimca
they do not grieve in their new lifo. But
some flno morning a clearer vision is given
them, and they realize that, after all, their
ohildron aro only playing tho same role
whioh they ployed a few yoars before. It
is a magnificent qualify in parents when
they so prepare themselves that they caa
meet this inevitable time ivith the proper
spirit—when, in other words, parental love
can get the better of selfishness."
Xo X.ool£ Xoimg Cress In tho J.atcst Style,
Tho most essential point perhaps in attaining overy woman's object of looking
young is to dress always in the latest
mode. Tho Fronoh. Understand this to perfection, tho English do not oven protend to.
A dowager wears gowns" of from 5 to 35
years old in style. A grando damo Pari-
sienne looEs always as though sho had just
stepped from tho atelier of fcemartcou-
turiero.
A woman of dO, in ah old fashioned gown
and with thin and badly dressed irair,
looks paSEO entirely, whllo her tj-inorl nt r.K
in siuai-tuso Jirrety,- is young in every movement. Her stylish gown swings about
her with an air of distinction, and her
fflshionaMo hat shades her smooth forehead. Her face is "framed in ruohes and
boas and medioi collars, and with softly
pompadoured hair modlshly undule. She
stands and walks with the erect carriage
and tho little jerky trip of a young woman? she sits with her skirts sweeping the
floor beside her, her feet together or easily
crossed, Instead of flouncing down on her
back breadths and folding her hands over
a wide lap, Altogether she is a Teplica of
her daughter,—Boston Herald,
Chest Hauderchlefs.
Many fastidious women wear With their
low necked- corset covers a large kerchief—
tha Word used by our grandmothers is the"
only correct one—of the finest and sheerest'
linen, hemstitched, crossed over the neck
and brought up well on the throat. This
is to protect tho lining of the gowfis. One
of these kerchiefs after once wearing by
tha daintiest of womon shows dusky shadows upon it,whioh point a hygienic moral.
Sensible Damo Fashion—sho is at bottom an old lady of much common sense—
has not as yet provided a covering for tho
bare arms that aro thrust into elegantly
lined gowns. Hy lady does not realize
how much she needs thorn, but she would
bo horrified at tho thought of wearing an
othor garment nort her skin for two weeks
without submitting 3t to tho laundress.

Cultivate Exfjrciso.  '
When a giri "come3 out" and escapes
from tho daily routine of the schoolroom,
sho is very much inclined to give up taking regular oxfiroisc. No doubt sho will
go for a SO or 80 milo run on her bike ono
day when sho feels particularly active, but
it is more than likely that, in consequence
of other attractions, sho will not rldo
again for three or four weoks. The girl
who wishes to keep fresh and young in
spite of a round of gayety should cultivate
tho habit of exorcise. It will become so
essential .to her that sho will not bo able
to do without it when her girlhood ig
passed, and consequently her health and'
her Agate will bo preserved in a way whioh
