Isabella county paid £2,148, bounty
for killing 107,400 sparrows hist year.
An exchange has au head line that
reads: "Bald on tbe Coast." Where
else would baldness take place, eh?
In response to the query, "Do bogs
pay?" a Missouri editor says: A great
many of them do not. They will take
your paper several years and not pay
for it, and then send it back marked
'"refused."
Among the claims for collection recently received by a local attorney was
one for the return of a ring in possesion of a young lady of the city. The
young man in the case is in distant
fields and no doubt has other uses for
the ring. Pass it along.—Gladwin
Jtecord.
During the evening reyival service
at the church, Art Cook arose and informed the people that the devil
wagered that he could beat him out
and twice around the church and back
to his seat. Away went Cook and returning nearly out of breath, exclaimed, "Glory to Gnd! I beat the old
devil just two jumps!"'
A certain iocal paper, in an obituary
of a man who had died in the community, said: "A leng procession followed the remains to their last roasting place." Of course the family rushed to the "print shop" to have the "error" coirected. The editor explained
that he could not do it until the seven
years' back subscription the deceased
owed had been paid.
A pious-looking Detroit drummer
who was a guest in town happened to
"be at a Franklin girl's house at meal
time and was suddenly called upon to
ask a blessing, and not oeing accustomed to it he promptly tackled the
d.ih.-Jlty in the following style: We
acknowledge tho receipt of your fayor
of this date. Allow us to express our
gratitude for this token of good will.
"Trusting that our house may merit
your confidence and that we may have
many good orders from you tbis winter,
"4, ^e are yours truly, amen." The old
man will say grace hereafter.
It is in accord with human nature
to hungei after news and some strange
instances come to light in the seeking
for it. We were reqently asked by a
certain business (?) man, the particulars about an advertisement which appears in this paper. Now we happen
to know that this particular individual has even refused sample copies of
the Chronicle because its editor was
opposed to business places being run
wide open on the Sabbath day. If you
don't think a local paper is worthy of
your support, please do not borrow it
from your neighbor, he pajs for it for
his own use, notyours.
For some time past the co-eds at the
dormitory have been careless in regard
to getting to meals on time, especially
in comming down to breakfast in -the
morning. Continued admonitions by
the preceptress had no effect, and one
j morning recently after chapel exer-
_v cises president Bruske gave a talk to
the co-eds in regard to the matter.
He insisted that everyone get to meals
on time, and specially emphasized the
long time taken in getting dressed.
It was then announced that breakfast
would hereafter be served at 7:15 instead of 7, an allowence of 35 minutes
toeing given the girls in which to dress.
The rising bell will ring at 0:30,
With a terrible cold in his head, and
his eyes heavy and sore, the editor sat
on a broken chair, and earnestly, bitterly swore. A youth had dropped in
with a poem, a man was there with a
dun, and a chap was there to tell him
How the paper ought to be run. An
irate subscriber had told him that his
paper ought not to be read, and anoth
cr had carefully promised to punch the
■editor's head. The devil was calling
for copy and the wind whistled in at
the door, and this with a few other
- reasons is why the editor swore. But
the angel took to Heaven and recorded this yerdict there: "The jury finds
ia the present case it was a justifiable
swear."—Ex.
The Detroit Free Press says: ' 'Two
,<juailwere sent to the Agricultural
College by a farmer who wrote that he
Mlled them because iliey were eating
Mb grain, He wished an examination
tot the crops of the birds made, which
lias been done, and the results made
public. In neither crops wa"s found
any grain, but in one of them were
about 4,500 seeds of the false nettle, a
very troublesome weed, which goes to
5J30W that the quail, Instead of being
A
an enemy-of the farmer, is in reality a
great help. Prof. Barrows, of the
Agricultural College, says that quail
eat a very large variety of weed seeds,
besides grasshoppers, chinch bugs and
other injurious insects. He once examined u quail's crop and found it tilled to its utmost capacity with span
worms, and measuring worms, both
of which are among tne farmer's numerous enemies."
A. Michigan editor perpetrates the
following: "Fisb down into your
pocket and dig up the dust, the editor
is hungry and the paper 'bout to bust.
We've trusted you for several months
and did it with a smile, so just return
the compliment and trust us for a
while. Our wife, she needs some
stockings, and our baby needs a dress;
Jimmy needs some breeches and so do
Kate and Bess. Pud is on the hog
train anil peggy sick with grief, and
good, gosh almighty, can't you give a
man relief? Shell out the nickels and
turn loose the dimes, turn me loose
and whistle and we'll all have better
times; there will be few patches on
the bosom of our pauts and we'll make
the paper better if we get half a
chance. Don't giye us that old story
long gone to seed, 'boat taking more
papers than the family want to read,
but help the printer, and he'll help
you to grow, and thus escape the sulphur down below.
Interesting to Business Men.
The following from the columns'of
the Marlon Dispatch, No. 2, contains
a good deal of wisdom for business
men generally. Whether original or
not we give them credit for the same
•at any rate:
A furious shower does not soak in so
well as a steady rain.
Does it?
A double column advertisement once
a year is not so good as a half inch fifty-two times a year.
Is it?
The parallel is fitting.
The iirst of the year is upon us. The
time is ripe to make a contract for the
steady rain of advertising. Let the
water begin to fall with the i.ext issue
of the Dispatch—It will begin to
soak in at once; and as the weeks
lengthen into months, you have watered your entire territory, and the
ground will give forth an abundance
of fruit.
Don't get funny at this argument
and say that after a while things
would get too muddy.
We are not talking about deluges.
That's what theseonce a year fellows
enjoy.
The highest praise Arfcemus Ward
had for George Washington was that
he "never got slopped over."
Did you ever study mathematics,
and learu that 1 and 1 make 2, and *>
and 2 make 4, and 4 and 4 make 8, and
8 and 8 make 16, and so. on?
Some of you never trot above 1 and
1 make 2.
You don' figure the cumulative power ol advertising.
You believe one good "old soaker" is
worth twenty "drizzles."
You don't realize that three-fourths
of the water in an "old soaker" runs
off, and finds its way Into the gutters.
Figure how much you are going to
appropriate for advertising in 1899.
Divide it by fifty-two, and take so
much worth for each week. Let us
make a contract with you at once.
The water might freeze now as it
falls, but it will be there when the
thaw comes in the spring.

In Memory of Ellen May Tower,
[From tha Detroit Free Press of Jan, 17.1
The casket containing the remains
of Nurse Ellen May-Tower was taken
from the Light Guard armorv to Pllls-
bury's undertaking establishment yesterday, and the remains were then removed from their resting place by consent of the health officer, who gaye his
consent only with the understanding
that no person, except the undertaker
and his assistants, should approach
the remains. He absolutely forbade
the exposing of the remains to public
view while they are in Detroit. When
the casket was opened the body was
found to be in excellent condition.
Nobody outside of the undertaker, his
wife and two nurses from Grace hospital, were allowed to view the remains. It is thought, however, that
they will be disclosed to the public at
the funeral in Byron to-day. for such
i3 the wish of the relatives of the deceased.
Mrs. W. II, Pillsbury is one of those
who deserve credit for the great success with which the arrangements for
the public demonstration was carried
out. She labored earnestly for several
days and designed the beautiful decorations at the Light Guard armory.
"Oh, that I had wings like a dove."
The tender, tremulous words rose
from out the full heart of the singer,
a youg girl, and like a sweet memory
of the departed, they found lodgment
in the hearts of all who gathered to
pay a last tribute to Ellen May Tower,
the young woman thatgave her life in
noble devotion to her eountry. Heads
were bowed hnd eyes dimmed with
tears when the story of her sacrifice
was repea'.ed by each speaker in the
Detroit Light Guard armory, last
night, and from the seats in from in
front of the casket muffled sobs were
heard from among the relatives, who
had lost from their circle one who bore
much of the sunshine there. Behind
them sat the nurses from Grace and
St. Mary's hospitals, her sisters in the
work that, had called her to a life of
self-denial and usefulness. Company
M. of the Detroit Light Guard and the
Maybury Light Guard occupied the
central row of seats, directly in front
of the casket. Members of the veteran corps of the Light Guard acted as
ushers and a committee of arrangement, The services were under the
direction of Rev. Charles L. Arnold,
pastor of St. Peter's Episcopal church.
Tne vested choir of St. Peter's church
were in charge of the music.
A portion of a psalm was sung by the
cuoir, followed by prayer by Rev. J.
M, Thoburn, pastor of the Central M.
E. church. When Rev. E. J. Basker-
ville was introduced by Rev. Mr. Arnold, a silence fell over the audience
of 3,000 persons, and Mr. Baskerville
began in a quiet tone, earnest and full
ol doqdence, to tea of Miss Tower's
heroism:   He said, in part:
"We are glad that we ean bring all
phases of life into this gathering to
pay tribute to noble and heroic womanhood. See here the chair she occupied in the Grace hospital. Is it vacant? Nay, not vacant. For no one
leaves a chair vacant when he enters
the terrestrial gates. Faithful in her
work, she was courageous in all she
undertook. After the toil by the bedside of tne sisk she went, spade in
hand, to the cemetery, to find and
keep the memory of somebody'3 boy
who had given up his life for the cause
he loved. Here is an exampled of
courage—a courage that took this girl
from among her friends and from the
fireside of her parents to the field of
battle and into the hospital tent.
Soldiers' 1 know that were I sit beside
you and whisper in your ears the story
of her sacrifices, you would be willing
to allow me to place her name among
your names on the roll of honor. Noble and heroic you were, and on the
highest pages will be written your
names and the name of this beroic
woman by their side." * * *
Mayor Maybury paid a glowing tribute
to the heroic young woman, closing
his remarks with: "Shall we meet
again? Yes, we shall meet again.
You have passed through the pearly
gates of heaven, to the palace not
made with bands, A passing moment
and we shall join you there. Rest on;
refit oh, in peace,"
The casket containing the remains
will leave with an escort consisting of
Company M, of the Light Guards, and
a number of the Veteran Corps, over
the Detroit, Grand Rapids & Western
railroad, for Byron, Mich,, the hone
where live the father and the two sisters of Miss Tower.

Told of Temple.
From Marion Dispatch No. 1.
While Temple is located in Clare
county io is so near a neighbor to Marion
and its people neighbor with us so freely
that it is entitled to a write up. It
was started nine years ago, the flrst
house being built by Trail Bros, and
used by them for a hotel; a hame factory was commenced at the same and
ran for about six years until their timber supply was exhausted, In 1894 the
Dewey stave company put in a plant
which is still in successful operation,
employing during the summer season
from one hundred to one hundred and
twenty men. The Balus stave and
heading company were the pioneers in
the business and are still in the field
with about twenty-five men.
The bed slat factory of A. P. Wait
& son was started six years ago and
employs twelve men.
A mill for manufacturing paving
blocks is down the river but not in
operation at present.
About a year ago 0. L. Dolph (ever-
body knows Charley Dolph) bougntthe
hame tactory plant and Commenced
the munufacture of shingles and rail
road ties. He employs about 40 men
at his mill and a "regiment" up the
river getting out timber and floating
it down. Hi's store is the business
emporium of Temple and will compare
favorably with any general store in
the county.
J, West keeps a grocery and prov-
Ission store and Cain Cameron, an
Ohio boy, runs the meat market,
The hotels of the town, two in number, are kept by Robt. Bruce and Cain
Cameron; both have good old Scotch
names but the wayfarer need not think
that oat meal will be his only diet at
either of thorn.
The town has a good blacksmith
shop with a wagon shop in connection.
Al. McMullen runs a pool room and
barber shop.
The village was named after W. M.
Temple, "genial Mart," who settled at
his prepent home about a mile up the
river in 1873. He has watched the
growth of his namesake with pleasure
and if he could liave his wish Temple
would rival Detroit in Ave years, He
has a good farm of two or three hundred acres and is postmaster at the
village but delegates the greater part
of the work to his deputy, Mrs. Gertie
Bolan. Mart has been-supervisor ever
since the organization of the township
nine years ago and always has a good
place on tbe committees.
While Temple may never be a city it
is a good little town and will be for a
long time to come.
