The Ladies5" Home Journal for August says the old time custom of the
clergyman who performed the marriage ceremony, saluting the bride
with a kiss has gone entirely out of
favor and fashion. It may be that it

Perhaps one of the most interesting
debates that occured on the line of
the Grand Bapids and Indiana railroad
took place the other day between
Thomas I. Tamama, a Japanese student of Albion college, and Chas. Lee,
a Chinese laundryman and tea dealer,
of Columbus, Ohio. These two interesting representatives of the Orient by
accident met in a passenger coach
soon after the train left Cadillac.
Their conversation was first confined
to general topics of their respective
countries but soon led up to the late
unpleasantness in those foreign empires. The Jap was enthusiastic in
relating the success his nation had attained, when the Chinaman with a
grunt of disapproval confronted him
with the fact that it was bribery of
the high officials that caused the empire's defeat. "That's just it," replied the Jap. 8sVour countrymen
would even sell their pig tales for a
dollar; they consider1 principle valueless." At this the Washee launched
into the student, and but for tha
timely interference of passengers the
battles between China and Japan
would have been repeated.—Fife Lake
Monitor.
CHANGE IH BtiSOTSS
Commencing August 19th, I shall
change my system of doing busiaess
to a complete cash system.
I shall sell for cash only and no
goods will "be given in exchange for
produce as I shall pay cash for all
produce I can handle and pay highest
market price.
I shall endeavor to make it an object for all my old customers to pay
cash. With many years experience in
business! believe I am qualified to
give the cash system the very best test
and will endeavor to make my store
headquarters, as a retail store in
Groceries, Boots and Shoes, between
Saginaw and Ludington, as I believe
there is no such a thing as failure if
it is the right system and all business
men agree that the cash system is the
right one. Cash will be my motto.

A Marion young man came over to
Harison last week to take teachers'
examination which does not come until next week. We don't know the
young man's name, but would wager
a picayune (if we had one) that he
would not make a good teacher; for
good teachers read the newspapers and
consequently know that there is a
change in the time of holding August
examinations.
