Kickers Getting Ready.
WUeathe base ball season's waning.
And the heroes of the bat
Are preparing for their exit,
While the roosters sadly o'hat,
Jt Is then the football kickers,
Who from publio view had slid,
Reappear and start their drilling
For the battles oa the''grid."
Crops of hair they're cultivating
So that omniums won't break;
Combs and brushes are discorded,
And the barber gets the shake,
Padded suits are resurreoted
And tho playing shoes and hose,
And there's trying on of ear guards
And the ugly rubber nose.
Every town and cross roads village
Sets excited o'er the game,
Each Is forming an eleven
With the hope of winning fame.
There is searching for old players
Who ore up to oil the trloks,
And a grab for husky fellows
Who are handy in a mix.
Th»y are practicing the passes,
Rushes, tackles and the punts,
And all other evolutions
That are known in football stunts,
Teams are working on new signals.
They alone can understand,
And they're'confldent of winning
On the system they have havo planned.
Yes, the football season's coming,
As is plainly now revealed,
And another class of heroes
Soon will pose upon the field,
Hospitals are getting ready
For the calls o'er telephones,
And tha surgeons are preparing
To bind up broken hones.

take this opportunity of saying thab
if you want printing done and done
right, place your orders with us. Jusb
nobice bhe ads in the Sentinel.
Aren'b bhey neab, artisbic, abbracbive ?
Same printer sets these as set bhe
card job referred to.
A large number of subscriptions expire at this time of the year, and when
squaring up other accounts, don-t overlook the little amount you owe the
printer just because the amouno is
small. Oome in prepared to pay in advance. Statements are being sent
out, but should you get one, take it as
a gentle reminder rather tban a dun.
Our list is rapidly growing and it will
be our endeavor to reach the 1500 mark
before January 1, The Sentinel till
January, 1901, for$l, for new subscribers, and those in arrears who pay up
may take advantage of this low rate.
The law recently passed relative to
the enange in the percentage of interest, legal and allowed, in this state
is now in effect. Probably bhere are
many among business men who are
nob aware of the fact and some odd
complications may result. Under the
old law in force up to September 22,
the legal rate in Michigan was six per
cent with eight per cenb allowed by
consent. On and afber tbe 22d the
legal rate was reduced to five per cent
while the allowed rate is but seven
per cent. All paper therefore which
was executed before the 22d bears a
legal interest at the old rate, while
that executed since the 22d will bear
the new.—Ex.
This little story is going the rounds
regarding the rewards given the soldiers: Ib is said that in battle the
privates occupy the firing line, the
corporals One yard in the rear of the
privates, the seargents five yards in
the rear of the corporals, the lieutenants twenty-live yards in the rear of
the sergeants, the captains one hundred yards in therearof the lieutenants, the majors two hundred yards
In the rear of the captains, the colonels five hundred yards in the rear
of the majors, bhe generals five thousands yards in the rear of the colonels,
while the commanding general is In
Washington, D. C. After the battle
the commanding general gets 98 per
cent of the glory, the brigadier general one and one-half per cent. Tbe
other officers get the balance, while
the privates get .talked about.on the
Fourth of July.

The First Number of the Lecture
Course at Opera House Next
Tuesday Evening.
Lovers of exquisite music will be
bhrilled wibh rapbure next Tuesday
evening from the time the curtain
rises at the opera bouse until the lasb
number on the program Is concluded.
The gentlemen are artists* of exceptional ability, as is shown by newspaper clippings from various places
where they have played, the following
of which we quote:
The gentlemen of the Detroit Philharmonic Club are solo players of great
merit, masbers of their instruments,
and genuine artists.—Milwaukee Journal.
Each member of bhe organization is
an arbisb in bhe bruesb sense of the
word, and thru long practice together,
a perfection of playing has been secured that is-marveious.—Indianapolis
Sentinel,
The Detroit Philharmonic Club created a decided sensation.  No such fine
.playing has been heard here for years,
and the only regret was that the program could not be repeated.-—Cleveland Sun and Voice.
Upwards of 150 seats have at this
writing been sold and reserved for the
season, and this, with the amount yet
to be sold and the single admission
money, assures the business men, who
have the course in charge, that the
receipts will cover the cosb of the
course.
If you anticipate taking in any of
the numbers on the course, get season
tickets, as the single admission for
two or three entertainments will cosb
as much as the Six. The admission
for next Tuesday eyening has been
fixed ab fifty cents.
