WILLIAM ANBERSOK.
"No more tlie bugle calls the weary one."
Every one who attended the Decoration day ceremonies and unveiling of
the soldiers' monument at Clare last
May must remember the impressive
exercises at the opera house, especially
the part when old "Uncle Billy" Anderson came forward, dressed as he
was when he came out of Libbey prison, barefooted and in rags, carrying in
his hands his last slender rations. It
was a sight to bring tears to every eye.
How "Uncle Billy" is dead. He died
Tuesday, April 9,at his home in Sheridan township, just south of the Eagle
school house, and was buried yesterday
at Cherry Grove, eighteen of Hancock
post being in line at the grave to pay
the last sad honors to a brave soldier.
Wm. Anderson was born in Wayne
county, O., 71 years ago. He enlisted
Dec, 1863, in Co. C. 2d Ind'. Cavalry,
and served to the close of the war except for the nine months of terrible
suffering at Salisbury and afterward
at Libbey prisons. He came to Clare
in 1871 or '72, among the early settlers.
July 10,1889, he joined Hancock post,
and has never failed to be on duty with
the post when able to do so. He leaves
a wife and five children.

FASHION NOTES.
Written for the Sentinel.—
Yellow is more popular than ever.
Turquois-blue is a greenish-blue
shade.
Later in the season large hats will
be much worn.
There are indications of a revival of
the plaih linen collar.
Little girls still wear the picturesque "Granny bonnet."
Quite the sweetest thing in fancy
work is embroidery done in pallettes.
Perhaps green may be said to be
the most fashionable color of the
season.
Skirts continue to flare at the bo ttom
and sleeves to broaden noticeably at
the tops.
' White and yellow pique will be very
popular for children's coats during
the summer.
Coats for small children are made
of light colored crepon and sometimes
of sheer silk over colar.
The trimmings in spring millinery
show a complete return to the use of
floweis with abundant foliage.
The new Eton suits for little girls
are made of white duck and ecru linen,
as well as of white and blue serges.
The dresses of a little girl of two
years of age should be somewhat
shorter than those of a boy of the
same age.
Frocks for small children should
measure two yards around the bottom
if made of woolen goods, and' may
measure from two and half to three
yards, if made of sheer material.
Black satin ribbon with pallette
embroidered ends is just now fashionable for sashes, and colored velvet or
satin covered with the tiny glittering
discs make very pretty and effective
bonnets.
The low Dutch neck promises to be
very popular on frocks and guimpes
for children's summer wear. It is
made by omitting the usual band and
adding a f.all of lace or embroidery in
its place.
Natural flowers are seldom worn or
carried. Many kinds of artificial
flowers more or less veiled by silk
mull or lace are very popular, They
are quite as artistic and much, more
durable than real blossoms.
The Dutch bonnet is a narrow affair,
very long at the sides of the head.
It is probably fashioned after the caps
worn by the wives of the burgomasters.
There are fanlike pieces over the ears
that give it an odd and picturesque
effect. This bonnet is worn far back
from the face and though pretty and
quaint will be becoming to very few.
Old Stingy had a bright new cent.
Likewise a bright gold dollar;
He put the "Wrong one in the hat,
And you should have heard him holler. Ex.
The King's Daughters will meet
with Mrs. O. B.Davis, Thursday afternoon next.
The M. E.Sabbath school will have
their Easter exercises at 10:30, Sunday morning.
The Willing Workers will meet at
the home of Mrs. Kump, Tuesday,
April 10th. A cordial invitation is
extended to all.
At the meeting of the Rathbone Sisters, Clare Temple No. 13, the initiation of the candidate, Mrs. B. F. Kramer, was considered very attractive by
her.
Sabbath at the Baptist church-
subject for morning, "The Joy Set Before Us." Evening theme, "A Living
Redeemer." Both are Easter themes.
All are welcome.
The Aid Society of the M. E. church
will serve a ten cent supper at W. R.
C. hall on Tuesday April 16th from 5
until 7 a good attendence is desired.
Every one invited.
Rev. F. Stowell and wife and father,
and Uzal Joslin and wife of Mt. Pleasant, Melvin Howard and wife and
mother, of Dorr, attended the Free
Methodist quarterly meeting from Friday till Sunday night, returning home
Monday.
The Ladies' Union will meet Friday,
April 19, at the home of Mrs. Bicknell.
At the meeting last week at Mrs. Coo-
ley's the following officers were elected in the missionary department:
Pres., Mrs. W. S. Cooley; Treas., Mrs.
R. H. Jenney; Sec'y, Mrs- Long.
The Free Methodist quarterly meeting last Friday night, Saturday and
Sunday was very interesting and beneficial to all who attended. Although
the roads were very muddy and the
rain kept many from the meeting, the
attendance was very good. . Rev. W.
Bodine of Elm Hall conducted the
meeting, assisted by Rev. Stowell and
Rev. DeLong.
A real nice old lady, who lives not a
thousand miles from here, dropped a
penny in the contribution box one Sunday recently and the action was observed by her little grandson. On her
way home she grumbled a great deal
about the sermon, "Well, grandma,"
said the little fellow, who had been
listening to her complaints, "I think
it was good enough for a cent."
At the regular review of LaTosca
Hive, No. 170, held April 10, 1895, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God to remove by death the mother of
our esteemed sister, Lady Boyd, therefore, be it Reso:lyed, that we extend
to our bereaved sister our heart-felt
sympathy in this hour of her great sorrow. ResolyM), that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to our bereaved sister, and also published in the Clare
Sentinel. Committee—Hattie Allen,
Virginia Friedeborn, Julia A. Norton.

How the Editor was Beaten.
"I understand that Tennyson was
paid a half dollar a word for his poetry, "said the soulful poet to the hard-
headed editor. "Now, ,why don't you
pay me that for my poetry^"
"I can hardly afford to pay you half
a dollar a word for your verses," said
the hard-headed editor; "but I will
pay youhalf a dollar a line for a short
poem."
Then the poet departed, and the next
day returned with the following poem:
tbue love's cottbse.

The hard-headed editor counted
carefully the lines, and conscientiously counted out the poet $16, remarking
to himself: "I belie ve that fellow has
got brains. I thought he was only a
poet."—New York World.

Their tiny feetshaU tread.
Around the world they're echoing now
The call, "Saloons must gol"
O rulers great of every land,   ,
JTis yours to have it so! - ■    .

After the moon has reached its full*
Then Easter will be herer

In each and every year.
And if it hap on Sunday .
The moon shouldxeabh its height,
The Sunday following this event'
Will be the Easter bright.
