"For there's a chiel amang ye taken note,
An', faith, he'll prent it."
The Observer's attention has been
call to some literature that is being
scattered in the city, sent out by the
"Free Thinkers" (so called,) an atheistic organization, and which brings to
our mind what Bob Burdette says
about the "Brakeman at, Church."
You see, the brakeman went to church
and afterward was talking with a
friend who asked him what church
he had attended. After naming the
Methodist, Presbyterian and others,
and getting a characteristic answer in
railway parlance, the friend asked,
"May-be you joined the Tree-Thinkers?" To which the brakeman replied:
"Scrub road, dirt road-bed and no ballast, no time card and no train disr
patcber. All trains run wild, and
every engineer makes his own time,
just as he pleases. Smoke if you want
to; kind of go-as-you-please road. Too
many side tracks, and every switch
vide open all the time, with the
switchman sound asleep and the target lamp dead out. Get on as you
please.and off when you wan't to.
Don't have to show your tickets, and
the conductor isn't expected to do anything but amuse the passengers. No,
sir, I was offered a pass but I don't
like the line. I don't like to travel on
a road that has no terminus. Do you
know, sir, I asked a division superintendent where that road run to, and
he said he hoped to die if he knew. I
I ask him if the general superintendent could, tell me, and he said he
didn't believe they had a general
superintendent, and if they had, he
didn't know anything more about the
road than the passengers. I ask him
who he reported to, and he said, 'Nobody.'' I ask a conductor wlio he got
his orders from, he said he 'didn't take
orders from any living man or dead
ghost.' And when I asked the engineer who he got his orders from, he
said, 'he'd like to see anybody give
him orders; he'd run that train to suit
himself, or he'd run her in the ditch.'
How you see, sir, I'm a railroad man,
and I don't care to run on a road that
has no time, or makes no connections,
runs nowhere, and has ho superintendent. It may be ail right, but I've
railroaded it too long to undertake it."

A new fad is coming, in the shape of
a roller skate with pneumatic tire
wheels about seven inches in diameter. It is said a person can make ten
to twelve miles an hour on them on
all ordinary smooth roads. A pair of
these skates will weigh about two and
three-quarter pounds.—Ex.    Let  'er
come.

The woman of Prance is the ruler.
She leads her husband without his
knowing it and he loves to be led.
The American woman leads her husband and wants everybody to know it,
so that she spoils the game. In
France there is no 'new woman,' no
'coming woman.' They are all the old-
fashioned home loving and making
woman. The French woman is the
partner of her husband. The English
woman is the inferior. The American
woman the superior.- When the
French girl marries she gains her
liberty; the English girl looses her
liberty; the American girl retains it.
The French woman is not the pet or
idol that is made of the American
woman, but she is the business partner
of her husband and her equal in every
way. The peasant class of France is
the most industrious in the world.
The woman always works and dies
with her knitting needle and distaff
in hand. She puts all the money she
earns in the bank.. The English servant spends her money on a new hat
and a picture of herself in it. As for
the American servants—they are all
like reduced duchesses. Americans
should learn to pattern from the
French as to how to rest. Americans
arc too discontented and anxious to
gain more to live properly. Take the
many pleasures that are by your side
and do not lose all by pursuing those
which are just ahead. The Frenchman gets enough money in a little
while and retires.. The American
neyer gets enough. We do not argue
laziness—simply moderation. America is grand—France is Happy.

. "It's strange ain't it," said a prominent citizen to the Observer one day
this week, "how bad some men don't
want to work. The other day a fellow"
who lives here in town came into my
place of business, and as I knew he
didn't work half the time and supposed it was because he couldn't get work.
1 offered him a little job that would
take* him about two hours. There
isn't much in it to be sure, but I
thought of course he would be glad to
earn even a. quarter, but no-sir-ee.
He gave me a little song and dance
about coming around in the afternoon
if he got time, but he hasn't shown up
there since; though I know to a dead
certainty that he hasn't been working
somewhere else, for I have-kept a lit-
track of the gent. He is over as D—'s
now arguing with another fellow
about the silver question and cursing
the banking system. The Lord only
knows what such fellows' are allowed
to live for." Seeing that the speaker
was getting excited the Observer excused himself and slipped around the
nearest corner.
CUPID TRIUMPHANT.
WARREN—BECKER.
A very pleasant social event was the
marriage, Wednesday afternoon, January 16, of Miss Delilah Becker of this
city to Herbert C. Warren of Massil-
lon, O., at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Becker, in
the presence of a few immediate rela-
tiyes and intimate friends. Mr. Warren is a young man Of excellent address
and at one time was employed in the
union depot office of the F. & P. M. in
this city, but is at present an agent
for one of the through roads at Mas-
sillon, Ohio. The bride is one of Clare's
brightest and most estimable young
ladies, and carries with her to her new
home the most cordial good wishes of
a large circle of friends. The happy
couple departed by the afternoon train
for Owosso,* where they will make a
short visit, and from thence to Massil-
lon, where they will make their home.

Eev. S. A. Long. The happy couple
took the four o'clock tram for Saginaw
and after brjef visits at various places
will return to Clare where they will
make their home.
FALK—CONVERSE.
The home of Mrs. Jennie Converse
of Vernon township was the scene of
a very happy occasion, Tuesday evening, January 15, at which time and
place occurred the marriage of her
daughter, J. Lillian, to Mr. Frank Falk
of Mt. Pleasant. The ceremony was
performed in the presence of about
fifty invited guests by Bev. S. A-. Long
of Clare. The bridal couple stood during the ceremony under a beautiful
evergreen arch, the groom in the pride
of manhood and the bride, neyer more
lovely. After the word that united
the couple had been spoken, the guests
sat down to a tempting collation, the
quality of which everyone fully demonstrated. The young couple will
make their home at Mt. Pleasant,
where Mr. Falk has a successful business. Guests present, besides the immediate family of the bride, were the
following gentlemen and their wives:

The last review, January 16, of La-
Tosca^Hive No. 170, was an occasion
much enjoyed by all present. The
installation of officers was conducted
by Senior Past L. C. in an able and
pleasing manner. The following are
the officers for the ensuing year:
L. C—Mrs. Bicknell.
Lieut, L. C—Mrs. D. McPhall.
R. K.—Miss Mae Bicknell.
F. K.—Mrs. A. Thurston.
Chaplain—Lady Goodman.    .
Sergant—Mrs. DeFoe.
- Mistress-at-Arms—Mrs. C. Clark.
Sentinel—Miss A. Gorr.
Picket—Mrs. E. A. Mack.
After the close of the hive, the hall
was opened for a reception of the Sir
Knights and other guests, among
whom was Mrs. Maud F. Haynes, who
is in town to organize an order of the
Rathbone Sisters. Upon invitation
she favord the large company present
with very interesting remarks, respecting those orders of ladies which are
auxiliary^ stating that they were
always a success. She also commended the order of the L. O. T. M. We
would all be pleased to hear from Mrs.
Hayes again in the future. The following program was rendered:—Song
by Mrs. Perrin; select reading by Mrs.
Thurston; singing by Millie Holbrook
and Lillie DeCoo, with organ accompaniment by Mae Bicknell; select reading by Mrs. C. Clark.- The entire program was exceedingly interesting;
after which the Sir Knights were callr
ed upon. Mr. Unicume recited a
pleasing poem. Mr. Mortz responded
with appropriate remarks. 'He said
in substance:
"It is quite a treat to. witness so
grand an affair as this. The ladies
and Sir Knights are entitled to more
than ordinary credit for the success
they have made in their lodge in Clare,
and it is known to be a fact that they
have increased their number, perhaps,
all through the United States, more
than any other one lodge. The ladies
of this branch are entitled to credit
especially the officers, and you have
undoubtedly selected good officers for
the ensuing year, hoping they will
take more than ordinary pains in carrying out their duties, as the-success
of, any one branch of any lodge depends largely upon the leaders of the
same. For anything you do in this
direction is doing a charitable piece of
work in some direction and for somebody. So, ladies and Sir Knights,
don't ever think you have done too
much,- for that idea is. wrong, and,
perhaps, may be the means of changing the ideas, of other good workers,
but we know the officers installed here
tonight are good and faithful workers.
Mr. Goodman spoke appreciatingly
of the views expressed by Mrs. Hayes
and others. Mr. Bicknell also said
that all - fraternal and social orders
were a blessing. Mr. Northy entertained the gathering with a song.
J. Seeley with a few remarks.
J. H. Wilson and others did not respond.
After singing ^'God Be With You
'Till We Meertgain," a nicely prepared lunch was served and enjoyed.
FASHION NOTES.
%     And still the wonder grew
That one small ad 4>uld "bring so much to do.
Brown is the color par excellence for
blondes.
Only the daintiest oriental perfume
is admissable.
The latest bell skirt has a seam  at
the. front and back.
There are indications of the Tevival..
of the old-time side lace gaiter;
La France is a showy magenta  red, ,
the color of the roses of that name.
Mulberry and redish purple tints are
very becoming^to gray-haired ladies.
A glowing green tint will heighten
the brilliancy of a clear, dark complex-
ion.
A fashionable wardrobe is not com-<
plete without, at least,* one lavishly
trimmed tea gown. ' . r
" A pale blonde should avoid bright
green, as it gives to.a fair face a waa
"washed-out5/ appearance.
Colored shoes will be worn "during
the coming spring, orange, yellow and
brown shades predominating.
Round and square bretelles that are
wholly without fullness are more fashionable than rippled ornaments of the
same class.
Heliotrope is an uncharitable hue,
but a woman with.good color in her
cheeks and lips, may wear a pinkish ,
shade with good effect.
A short woman should remember
that a striped fabric arranged with
the lines running vertically in both
skirt and waist will apparently add to
her length.
When engaged in pursuits for which
a dressy gown is wholly inappropriate
and a tailor-made costume too severely plain, wear a pretty silk shirt-waist
and a woolen shirt.
Walking hats are. considered the
most appropriate head-covering to
complete a|! tailor-made costume*; they
may be very plain, or rather fanciful,
as suits the taste of the wearer.
Pink is not generally becoming, but .
a pink fabric is always effective "when
associated with black velvet or moire^
which should be so arranged that' the
pink will not come near the face.;
A new lace called batiste, ' has- for
foundation fine batiste that is almost;
as sheer and thin as inull and the patterns, which are very open, are of the
point de gene order% It comes in a
pretty shade of tan that will harmonize with nearly all of the fashionable
colors. ■;' .,
The Ratiibone Sisters.
About thirty-five years ago the
noble order of the Knights of Pythias
was instituted by a Michigan young-
man—a school master—at Washington. Since then it has developed'ihto
a flourishing order. Not many yeaTS
ago a ladies' auxiliary was established !
known as the Pythian Sisters. The
name was recently changed to Ratiibone Sisters, in honor of the founder
of the K. of P., and is already pitching
its white tent and unfurling'its standard in every city or considerable hamlet.
For some weeks past a move has
been going forward for the institution
of bhe order in this city, which has.
a flourishing - castle of the. K. of P.
Last Friday a number of ladies-assembled and chose, officers which, were
yesterday fully empowered by Grand
Chief Mrs. Maud F.. Hayes. Last
evening the Knights gave.the ladies ;a
reception and banquet at the" Calkins'.
There were ..present about .15 ladies
from Mt. Pleasant and ten from Mar- (
ion. '  ■     ] '■;   .     i

Magazines Are Costly Things.
Albert Lynch, the famous French
artist, who received the highest Salon..
prize for his panel of "Spring,"' has
been engaged by The .Ladies' Home
Journal to draw a series of designs for
the cover of that magazine, which, as
the reading public knows, changes 4its
cover design each month. Lynch is>
perhaps,.one of the best-paid artists
in France, and these covers ijwill eosfc
The Ladies' Home Journal nearly $100©
apiece. But this only demonstrates
the enormous expense to which magazines are .put in the production of their
numbers>pNew York Mail and Express. •   -'  .
