We understand that our merchants

It has been shown that by analysis a
young person weighing 154 pounds is
■composed of ninety-sixppunds of water,
three pounds of white of egg, a little
less than one pound of pure glue, 34
1-2 pounds fat, S 12 pounds of- phosphate of lime, one pound of carbonate
of lime, three ounces of sugar and
starch, seven ounces of fluoride of calcium, six; ounces of. phosphate of magnesia, and a little ordinary table salt.

Last week we had an item referring
to the death of Mrs. Thos. E. Bullen.
The following more extended notice is
from the Saginawian, published at
Saginaw: Mary E. wife of Thos Bullen,
died at tho home of her father,* David
Branch, in Thomastown, yesterday afternoon, of consumption of the bowels.
Deseased wss born in Genesee county,
nearly 31 years ago and with her parents went to Clare county. She was
married to Mr. Bullen in 1885. Four
months ago she and her husband came
to Saginaw on a visit, and while here
her condition became such that she
could not go home. She leaves, besides her husband-and father, four
children. .        ,
The other day a young1, boy entered
Rockwell's candy store, by cutting a
hole through the back door screen,
and took $1.50 from the till. Mr.Rock-
well saw him as he ran away from the
building. A little later the boy and
a half dozen companions met at another store and expended the money for
candies, nuts and other nicknacks.
The conduct of the boys showed that
they had guilty knowledge, as to where
the money came from. This kind of
thing is becoming far too common.
One boy steals cash or something else
and whacks up. Then it is another
boy's turn. Unless "the persons sustaining the loss are , willing to prosecute
they all go free. The result is that
our citizens are fostering a. gang of
young miscreants that will bring more
and more sorrow as' the years go by.'
It is a^M^takehkmdtfess towards .the
parehts'that a4 business man allows
such thieving to go unpunished. ,
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Chase,
Tuesday July 30, a daughter.
Miss Kittie Chase returned yesterday morning from a couple of weeks'
visit at Evart.
Mrs. S. A. Long of Clare, was the
guest of Mrs. C.F. Marshall, Thursday

Remember it-is not cheap pictures
but the best aristo cabinets,—one dozen
and an elegant 8x10 picture, for $1.50
at the old stand, by DeYogt. Come
now, it is for a short time only.        tf
Snippen Clark (to his employer, leaving the office):'-O Mr. System! Haven't
you forgotten your umbrella? Its raining." Mr System: "Cant help it. I
have made a resolution to have one
here and one at home to provide for all
emergencies. Now, if I take this,
they'll both be at home.
Ask some men for an advertisement
or a few locals and they will say they
don't believe in advertising—a paper
is never read. Let one of them be
caught kissing his neighbor's wife or
trying to hold up the side of a building1
sometime, and. his tune changes in-i
stanter, and if the printing office is in
a garret of a seven teen story building'
he will climb up to the top and beg the
editor to keep quiet—not to publish it
in the paper. The paper is not read—
oh, no!—Ex". . ^
There are very few of us earning our
living who have not some one else to
care for, and that is much to the credit
of the American girl, writes Ruth Ash-
more in a yery sensible article on "The
Girl and Her Money," in the August
Ladies' Home Journal. Sometimes it
is a younger sister who is to be helped
, with her education, but always a helping hand is needed. You laugh at the
idea of making a will, but no matter
how little you have, if it is nothing'
but your gold watch, you ought to attend to its disposition. And if there
are people depending upon you, old
people, stop the soda water, stop the
candy and have yourlif e insured. You
will not die any the sooner, and you
will feel that the mother or the young
sister you love so cl earlywillno't, when
you cease'to he here, depend upon>the
hard-charity of strangers.

justice. It was Mr. Stanley's . 37th
birthday. By the way, those who
were present wish to have it said
that Gene will take his meals standing for the next few days".
The newspaper of a town is its
beacon to the world, its lighthouse of
progress and . industry. If it burns
brightly and its rays penetrate every
portion of the field it is evidence that
the town which supports it is alive
and progressive. If on the other hand,
its light is dimmed lor lack of appreciation and patronage, it is the town
that suffers, not the paper. No matter where newspapers are located they
have ever been loyal to their town, and
many-times when their conscience has
urged them to desist their columns
have constantly teemed with. matter
beneficial to the place and its interests.
The great trouble is that there is no
known method of measuring exactly
the good offices of a newspaper, and as
a result they are robbed of much profit
andgiery. that is justly their due.
On the other hand, hbweyer, there
appears-to-be a very exact -scale for
measuring their short-comings and it
is astonishing with what alacrity it is
applied,—Ex.

Mt. Pleasant Enterprise: Saturday
night about midnight a man named
Will Brenner, about fifty years   old
came to tne Bennett House with his
right sholder  reeking  in  blood.   He
wanted a place to stay, but was turned
away:   He found a plaee at the Brunswick and had .his - arm  dressed.   The
story as near as it can be ascertained^
is that he was . attempting to get a
nineteen-year-old  daughter  of   Mrs...
Francis Grover, wife of Allen Grover .
of Lincon township to elope with him,
and he had written her letters to this"
effect at tne  Strickland  post office.
Mrs. Grover came into possession of
one of these and learned that he 'had
mailed another and registered it. The
girl received notice that the letter
was at tne'office but was afraid, to go ?
and get it  without an escort..   Her
mother went with her, taidng a shotgun in the buggy and on the way met
Brenner.   He started to approach the
"buggy and was warned to keep away
or he would get a dose of cold lead. Instead of going about his business  he
continued to approach the vehicle, in
which sat the woman holding the gun
aimed at him.   Brenner must have
come very ■ close, for the charge of
about   twenty shot landed ;in  his
right sholder, tearing his coat and the
powder  burning it.   Brenner   hung
around  all  day  Sunday,    and Monday left the Brunswick without paying his board bill and went to-Grand-
Rapids.   Mr. Gary of the Brunswick,
tried to"get a warrant' for him, and in
his investigations came . upohij   the
fact that part of his money was' left
at the T. & A. depot, and there' dr.opV
ped the case.  ..  ..   ?.      .--,.,.   •,,' .
