And imagines himself Md ; likewise, my adversary burys liimself further into
"Job lots" and thinks the people will forget the Stevens episode. The readers of
this paper will remember the advertisement of the bankrupt Etock of John
Stevens & Co. of Detroit, and that there was nothing about it to indicate that it
was'a canard. However, as there never was such a firm in business in Betroit,
IfJR the deception is apparent. The statement that a few weeks' time would prevent
?!!? locating this firm is too silly 'to talk to children.   Would it not have been better o j|o

advertiseirig the John Stevens <-& Co. stock that never existed?
Sow, gentle readers, any of yon who have sons growing np who contemplate
entering the merchantile trade, let this be a lesson to them not to advertise any
s from John Stevens & Co. when there is no such firm in existence.
[n conclusion, as my adversary is now shown up in his true light and is
ng.a general "job lot" business, I will leave him where I found him,

of the country for a season or two.   We are now offering :

, Every room in Tlie Galkins was occupied, tfee train was late, and the
urospects were tnat one weary traveler would Have bo sit in tlie office,when
a room was provided wbicb bad been
occupied by a lady, wbo, in burrledly
leaving in order to catcb tbe train,
bad left some of ber wearing apparel
scattered anout, tbe sigbt of wbicb
-poetically inspired tbe traveler,, and
tbe next morning tbe following verses
were found pinned to tbe bat:
To lier wlio "helped in tMs surprise
As first my rather sleepy eyes
"Looked on tMs hat, tMs corset sweet,
I "here give thanks, as well not meet.
No dummy woman wears this hat,
Nor tMs real woman's corset, that
A living heart, hoth true and warm,
Oft' beats "beneath, safe from all harm.
May she, as wife, ne'er have to feel,
As sad hearts ache, and senses reel,
That he who swore to love and cherish,
Hath let her own love for him perish.
May "blessings go with her through life,
May she "be sweetheart, helpmeet, wife,
And he know naught is grander than
God's noblest work, an honest man.
And just as round her sleeping form,
This gown oft' shields her slumber warm,
May she "be sheltered in Ms love,
Given and "blest "by "FTIm above.
She may be lowly in her lot,
Her heart sore tried, hergood forgot,
She may be beautiful or plain, o
But she's a woman, just the same.
And so good wishes I renew,
To her who fixed this startling view.
And to the rogueish woman that
Now owns tMs corset, and tMs hat.

The Pure Food Commission of Michigan is hard at work, and by and by a
service of fines levied on numerous
storekeepers in every town in Michigan will aggregate a large sum of
money. The law -requires all articles
of food tobe labled—if ''coffee" is composed of part peas, beans and chicory,
it must be so labeled. If mustard has
been cheapened by tbe mixture of
flour, it must be so labeled. All beers,
wines and liquors must have on the
barrel, keg or oottle tbe label reading,
"Pure, and without drugs or poison,"
Yiolation of tbe law will prove costly.
Tbe Pure Food Commission caa ae*
eomplish much good in Michigan.
