Two brobhers, both cripples and without tbe use of their lower limbs, keep
a little tobacco store there, by means
of which tbey manage to eke ouba living. Six times this winter the store
has been broken inbo by unknown miscreants and eacu time a quantity of
tobacco and cigars taken.

Creased trousers, a chrysanthemum
in your butbon hole, the latest thing
in frescoed vests or tbe biggest knobbed cane, are as nothibg if you do nob
have a bull pup trailing ab vour heels.
All the late fashion sheets show bull
pups, crop-eared and bob-tailed for bbe
dudes to lean upon. Ib is even said
that the girls are endeavoring to trade,
off their pugs for the latest favonbe.
A Muskegon youth beat tbe county
out of ben cents last week because bhe
city clerk didn'b know rnioeheads from
sparrow heads. The boy brought, in a
lot of heads for the bounty, and as
they were pretty well seasoned, the
clerk counted them at the end of" a
yardstick held iu one hand while he
pinched his olfactory organ with the
other. Af ber bhe boy had secured his
order on the county breasurer the deception he practiced was discovered,
A Charlobte.man missed his eyeglasses the other day, and search fail-
i;d to reveal them in any of the places
where he was accustomed to leave
there. Finally he happened to remember thab he had filled his stove a
few tnoments before, and he yanked
oub most of the coal he had jusb placed
in a baseburnc'r and Anally lound the
missing glasses, which had evidently
fallen from his nose as he was pouring
in the coal.
An editor, who died of starvation,
was being escorted to heaven by an
angel wbo had been sent out for that
purpose. "May 1 look at the other
place before I ascend to the eternal
happiness?" "Easii/," said the angel.
So they went below and skirmished
around taking in §the sights. The
angel lest track of the editor and went
around bades to hunt bim. He found
him sibbing by a furnace fanning himself and gazing with rapbure upon a
lot of people in the flre. There was a
sign on bhe furnace which said: ••Delinquent subscribers." "Come," said
the angel, "we must be going." "You
go on," said tboeditor, this is heaven
enough forme."
Galusha Turner has been placed ou
the disability class by the Maccabees
on account of partial paralysis. He
was insured for $2,000 in bhe society,
and is now entitled to draw oub $200 a
a year, payable semi-annually, until
the full amount is paid, This is a
good thing for Mr. Turner, and illustrates his wisdom in preparing for
sickness and misforbune while he was
in good health, and is another point
showing the excellent provision provided by the regulation of the K. O.
T. M, to meet all forms of misfortune,
nob only caring for bhe families of the
dead, but also caring for the sick
brother at the time he most needs
help.—-Evart Review.
A friend suggesbsthabparentswith
grown up daughters should. provide
hitching posts in front of their residences. The obher day a well known
young man of this city, who drives a
somewhat fractious horse, droye up in
front of the residence of his lady love
to take her for a cutter ride: Thelab-
ter stood out in the 90 milebreeze with
a sort of zero smile upon her face,
awaiting to be helped in. Just then
along came a Lake Michigan zephyr
and the aforesaid young man Saw his
Mt being wafted away on the breeze,
bub strange aa it may seem he kept
'■cool," while the girl's brother chased
three blocks afber the lost hat and the
young lady went in the house to get
warm —Frankfort Patriot,
la an or-linary column there are
aoout 15„000 pieces of type. An average Michigan paper sets about 100,000
pieces to be picked up, right about

These in turd must be replaced in the

Now, if, in the first place, the editor
gets correcb information and writes it
properly, and if bhe compositor sets It
up right, and if bhe galley boy knows
enough to take a decent proof, and if
the copy holder is sober, and if the
nroof render marks the errors, and if
the printer corrects them, and if the
make-up gets them in the right place,
and if the wessman isn't careless, and
if the press doesn't smash any Jebbe'rs
—why '6!s easily seen how unnecessary
are bypograpblcal errors, and how easy
ib is to run a newspaper.—-Ex,
"Persons who take everything- seriously are apt to figure in ludicrous occurrences occassioDilly," remarked n
genbleman to the Saginaw Courier-Herald."The home of a family in thefourtb
ward has has been infested with mice
of late, and the lady told her daughter bhab it would be advisable to leave
the cat in the kitchen, where tlie'mice
were more troublesome, to see if the
feline would nob catch a few of tbe
prowlers. Before rebiring the daughter lighted a lamp afld placed ibin bhe
kitchen. When bhe mother arose the
following morning she found bhe lighb
burning and asked her daughter -why
ib had nob been extinguished when bhe
latter wenb bo bed. 'Why, you said
bhab you wanbed bhe 3db bo see if she
could not catch some mice, and I left
the light burning so thab she could
see.' Then bbe girl's mother laughed.
The cab, howeyer, happened bo be
blind."
If newspaper readers ubderstood
what advertising means bhey would
see that the real news in a newspaper,
the news that -fffecrs their oocket-
book, is found in the adverbisements
of the local merchants. The merchant who advertises is a reporter.
He reports to the people through the
newspaper what he has for sale, whab
bargains he has to offer. And ib is
real news. Ib affeebs every family's
pocket-book. If some merchant is
making a great run on shoes and selling them cheap, that's news bhat every
person who needs shoes ought to know,
tf another is offering special bargains
in overcoats, underwear, corsets, hate,
furniture, dress coods, carpets, groceries, wood, stoves, coal or anything
that a family needs—why ib is news
thab means money to every family,
and bhe people know ib. Thab's why
the merchant who advertises iu the
newspapers and bells bhe truth in his
adverbisements builds up brade.
The following amusing incident is
said to have occurred during the progress of a religiousnieeMng in a neigh-
baring town recently. The minister
waxing earnest and enthusiastic in his
discourse, exclaimed, "Show me the
drunkard!" Whereupon a venerable
citizen midway back in the audience
promptly arose and said, "Here I am!"
Recovering from the surprise occasioned by the unexpected response to his
query, the preacher had proceeded but
briefly, when he again appealed impressively to his hearers, "Show me
bhe hypocrit!" The old genblemen
who had so readily confessed bis own
shorb comings vjgeriously nudged a
hoaryheaded fellow citizen who occupied the pew immediately in front of
bim. and excitedly commanded in a
loud voice, "Now own up like a man,
as I did," "We'll sing the closing
hymn and be dismissed," announced
the cemplebely disconcerted domine.
The Iron Mounbain Tribune relabes
an incidentwhich illustrates bhe old
saying that we never appreciate a
good thing till we have to go without
ib, as follows: "Two well-known citi
zensofEasb O sbreeb were walking
home together last night, It was chilly and they weie walking fast to keep
their blood in circulation. The home
of one of bhem was reached and he
said to his companion: "Come inside,
I've gob somebhing good on tap."
"Well, I don'b care if I do," said the
other, rubbing his hands togebher like
a man who had just ordered a little
bourbon and sugar. They went insidej
and directly to bhekibchen, where the
owner of the house drew a sparkling
glass of water from bhe faucet and
offered it to his companion. "Is this
tho best you've got?"' asked his companion, "fully appreciating the joke.
"Yes, ain't that good enough? We've
been frozen up for thirty days here and
have just been thawed out by electricity. I used to think that water was
good enough to wash in but not to
drinks but being without it for so lone
has changed my mind. Just look at
the bead on that water!"

R. H. Jenney,
Chairman Republican City Com-
mibtee, Olare.
Dear Sin—I And that the federal
statutes and the regulations of the
postoffice department prohibit a postmaster from holding any other official
position, and I therefore dec!ihe the
nomination for the office of mayor,
tendered me by the Republican city
convention. In announcing this decision, per mi b me t( express bo you
and bbrough you bo bhe Republicans of
Olare my sincere appreciation of bhe
high hopor done me, and to give assurance of my cordial support of the
sandldate whom your committee shall
select in my stead, and of bhe whole
Republican bickeC.
Respecbfuily,
S. Z. Kirk bride.
The letter of Mr Kirkbride above
explains itself. The city committee
tilled bhe vacancy on the ticket by the
selection of Dr. A. E. Mulder as the
candidate for mayor, substituting Ar-
bhur T. Stevens for school inspector.
Tlie bickeb wus strong before; ib is
just as strong now, and worthy of
popular support. Olare Republicans
will enter upon bhe campaign full of
confidence of v cbory ab the polls. The
ticket commends itself to ail as excel
lent in every parbicular.
The Republican ciby convention
was held on Wednesday evening in bhe
council chamber and was a veribable
love feast. There was no strife for
place; no slate* bat a full and free conference among the Republicans of tne
several wards as to what should be
done for the best interests of che ciby.
The convention was called bo order by
R. H, Jenney chairman of the city
commit ee and D. E. Alward was
m.iUu chairman and Charles H. Clark
secrebary. O. H. VanBruub and Frank
Forbes acted as tellers, and bhey earned bbeir salary. < Wibhout any more
preliminaries the convention proceeded to ballot for mayor. The first ballot was nob decisive. Messrs O. H.
Clark, R. H. Jenney and J. H. Galliver
leading, and several Obher candidates
receiving one or more votes,' The
genblemen above named had each
stated to his friends that he was nob
a candidate and could nob, aocepb.
The convention assumed, however,
bhat nelbhef would decline and so they
continued to be yoted for. Mr. Clara:
was nominated on bhe second ballot
but peremptorily declined on account
of business matters. Then several
more ballobs were had unbil Mr. Jenney was bhe yicbor, bub he too, said
thab he coula nob serve. The unanimous vobe of the convention was cast
for ex-mayor Kirkbride and he was declared, the nominee.
For clerk the contest was just as
protracted. Messrs YanBrunt, Mell
Buell and OS. Stone positively declined and Charles W. Sbsarns was nominated on the fifth ballot.
There was no question about city
treasurer. The present worthy incumbent Charles Bueil was accorded the
compliment of an unanimous nomination amid applause and the same action was taken as to school inspector,
Dr. A, E. Mulder being chosen.
Arthur W, Mclntyre was nominated
for justice of the peace on the first
ballot.
The following city committee was
appointed:
R,. H, Jenney, chairman,
C. H. Clark, secretary,
John Oliver.
Before adjournment Mr, Kirkbride
was called for and he expressed the
opinion thab the Republicans' could
win this year with united effort. He
thought the ticket a good one and
urged everyone to worlcfor its election.
