Manistee has an anti-gossip club.
Wonder why we couldn't haye .one in
Olare?
Park Lake and Marion will be, connected with Cadillac by telephone the
latter part of this week, an extension
of the McBaln line now being built to
these places.
It cost Osceola county $1.42 per week
for each inmate to maintain its poor
at the county farm for the year ending Sept. 30. The value of the produce raised was $1886.65, \
The county of Isabella is getting to
be yery orderly and law-abiding. The
session of court held this week had
only three cases on the calendar and
the jury was notified not to appear.
Michigan furnished 6,707 soldiers in
the Spanish war. Clare county is
credited with 12 participants. Missaukee, Roscommon, Leelanaw and Manitou were the only counths in the state
jjot having any representation in the
volunteer forces.
Suit has been conimsnced by C. T.
Bussell, receiver of the late People's
Saving bank of Mt. Pleasant, against
the directors of that institution to recover money lost by alleged negligence
in performing the duties of their, office.
There are 15 of these directors.
The scarcity of wood has compelled
the people of Marl ette to go- tb bed
early or else sit in the dark. The city
lighting plant is out of fuel and unable
to secure a full supply on account of
bad roads, so the lights have to be
shut off eyery night about 9 or 10
o'clock.
The bean industry is an important,
one in Baton county, the amount paid
out yearly for the product for shipment outside being about $175,000. Beside this there is the money paid for
picking over tbe beans, a large number
oi persons being given employment
through the winter at from $3 to $7
per week.
The Isabella county farmers' institute will be held in Sheoberd some
time in February. On account of tbis
institute being held in the extreme
south end of the county, farmers of
the northern part will probably attend
the Olare counoy institute instead,
wbich will be held in Glare, Wednesday, Dec. 7.
Thomas G. Bstell, a farmer from
Evart, went to Chicago on Nov. 10, in
company with his son. He has not
been seen since that date, when father
and son partedata restaurant, intending to meet later. Mr. JSstell had between $200 and 8300 on his person and
It is feared that he may have been
foully dealt with.
A Oadillac man was cruelly Heating
his horse when a rjasser-by mpiimand-
ed him for Lis conduct. The horse-
beater promptly changed his torrent of
profanity from tbe horse to the man,
and in return got a blow on the jaw
from the latter which sent him to the
earth. The Cadillac Democrat says
• that the horse smiled when he saw his
cruel owner sprawling in the mud/
St. Louis Eepublican-Leader: William Eames, who lives near Elsie, will
hereafter take all the change out of
his pockets before he hangs his coat
where any of his cows can get at it.
One day last week he went into a pasture lot to fix a fence and hung his
coat on the fence. He bad in one
pocket his book with what change was
needed for the day, a little matter of
$305. Two cows came along and made
a lunch off the outfit. When he picked
up the fragments of the lunch there
were some faint traces of the money,
Any man who wants to pay Mr.Eames
what those cows have cost will find
him easy to deal with,"
poor emaciated face covered with a
white stubbly beard of several weeks'
growth, his tattered clothing topped
by tbe rim of a straw hat and a crown
of cloth that would put Joseph's coat
to the blush, he was the butt of the
jeers and jibes of the thoughtless boys
who caught sight of him. But there
was one among them whose heart was
tender, who had been taught to respect
age and white hair. Despite tbe scorn
of his playmates and tbeir protests he
took charge of tbe feeble old man. He
did more. The old man was penniless;
the boy spent his last nickle—and you
know how precious that is to a, boy—
for food for him, then went with him
to And his friend.
This gentleman, whose name we
suppress by request, saw the old man'
properly clothed and sent on bis way;
but he maintains that Danny Raymond was tbe real benefactor, for he
had given his all and had championed
the aged and weak in distress.
Tbat the boys may be more thoughtful and respectful, we will state that
this object of their seemingly innocent
fun was once a wealthy, respected citizen, livintr near Grand Rapids, but we
are informed one turn of fortune deprived him of wife, family and wealth.
Since then he has been a wanderer,
sleeping beneath the stars, often with
the wild beasts of our northern forests
as his only companions. JV-ftylong
years has "Old Lyman Bloss" kept up
bis weary, aimless, cheerless wandering up and down, but bis kind old
heart was full of love of humanity,
and his gentle nature would recoil
from injuring a living creature, however lowly, and those who know him
respect him. despite tbe fact that the
light has fied from tbe mind and the
yi|torfroui a once stalwart frame. But
friendship cannot quiet or detain him,
and he will tramp, tramp, tramp to
the end.1

Mt. PleasaniTimes: Last Saturday
there wandered into the city one of
tbe strangest looking beings tbat the
average small boy would chance to
meet, and the most forlorn. For ninety-four years be has been wandering
up and down the state of Michigan,
finding a home with those who would
Shelter him for charity, or for what
little labor he could perform. Years
ago from some cause this poor creature
became demented, His mania ran to
dressing bimself in the most outlandish costumes; his honest heart, kind
and gentle manner had won for him
Mends m all parts of the state where
lie had traveled,
He bad such a friend in Mt. Pleasant; but failing memory prevented
him, however, from locatingthefriend
Readily, and when he came with his

A Breath o' Clare.
Ye Sentinel scribe is in receipt of
a letter from Mr. Arthur Seggins, now
in London, Eng., who wasfo>r a couple
of years connected with,this;paper and
who has many Mendshere. He wishes
to be remembered to all. In winding
up his letter he says: ''You please
put one of Lewis' cigars in a paper and
send me, for I'm just Uankerin1 after
a breath of Clare,"
We'll do it.
How to Coolt Stuffed Oysters.
Put the grated yolks of 4 hard boiled
eggs into a basin and mix in half
the quantity of minced bacon or salt fat
pork, add a little pepper or ohopped
parsley aud make them all into a paste
by adding the uncooked yolk of another
Qgg. Split open 4 dozeu oysters, stuff
them with this mixture, put them in
large oyster shells, coat tbem over with
bread crumbs, put a little warmed butter on top, place them in an oven and
bake until done. Put them on a dish,
garnish with pieces of fried bread and
serve.
How to Prepare Milk Ifor Coffee.
Hot milk that is used for coffee
Bhould be boiling (not boiled) and should
be served in much more generous quantities than if it were cream. It is want
of care in these two essentials that often
spoils a oup of coffee. The beverage is
better made in an earthenware pot unless—and every housekeeper knows the
significance of that word in this connection—the metal pot is scrupulously
clean. Tho ordinary wiping out, with
possibly a greasy dishcloth, which many
cooks consider a sufficient process for
the daily cleansing of the coffeepot,
Konn makes itself felt.upon the flavor of
tha drink. Clear, strong, fresh, hot
coffee, made from the pure berry in a
pot that is above reproach, diluted at the
table with cream, is perfeot coffee, and
it is probably served at about one in 100
breakfast tables.

How to ItTaltc Beef Essence Wjtri Cream.
Out up a pound of lean steak and
pound each portion with the flat of a
silver spoon upon a dish, so that the
juices may be extracted. _hen mix a
tablespoonful of the meat fluid with a
teaspoonful of fresh cream and a flavoring of salt or sugar, according to the
taste of the patient. Give a teaspoonful
of this mixture every hour or so. It is
extremely nourishing for invalids, but
must be made freshly every day.
Hotv to Owe Diphtheria.
Take equal quantities of powdered
borax and burned alum powdered fine.
Put the mixture in a goose quill or a
roll of writing paper and blow it down
the throat of the patient. Spread a flannel cloth well with goose grease, sprinkle with powdered gnm of camphor
and put around the throat. Turkey,
daok or chicken oil will answer, although goose oil is considered best.
Spirits of camphor must not be used.
This lias been known to cure where all
else fails. The burned alum eats out
the proud flesh and the borax heals.
The outside application loosens up the
membranes and prevents taking cold.
Hot?" to Curfy Irish.
Cold boiled or baked fish is a luxury
when warmed np in a curry Sauce. Put
into the chafing dish proper a teaspoonful of butter, a tablespoonful of ohopped
onion and brown tbe latter. Add a teaspoonful of curry powder, half a plot of
water or white soup broth, simmer three
Biinntes, add a pound of cold fish and
