open. "Anything you want to say in
the paper this week?" said the printer
to the business man behind the counter. "No" said the business man.
"I don't believe in advertising." The
drummer waited till he was half way
to the door, then slowly taking up his
sample valise, remarked: "Well,
that lets me out. I don't care to sell
on time to any man who, in this age,
dose not believe in advertising. When
I want to strike up a trade with a
dead man I'll go to the grave yard and
swap business.   Good day."

buildings and the electric lighting of
the Fair even for a single day and
evening, if one were to look at nothing else is well worth the trip to
Chicago.   Go.—Ex.
Say, young, man there is one thing
you can't do. You can't make a success of life unless you work, says an
exchange. Better men than you have
tried it and failed. You can't loaf
around street corners, saloons, smoke
cigars, tell foul stories or sponge on
some one else without making a failure
in life. You must learn a trade or get
into some honest business; if you don't
you will be a chronic loafer, despised
by all, producing nothing, simply making yourself a burden to your parents
or state. There is no place in the
world for loafers. The ripe fruit is
all at the top of .the tree and you must
climb if you get it. If you wait for it
to fall at your feet, you-will never get
it. Smarter men will jump up and
pick it all. Move, do something, no
matter how small, it will be a starter.
Help, yonrself and others will help you.
There is no royal path to success; toil,
energy, and endurance are the requisites. Wake up and see what you
can do.

Mt. Pleasant ball cranks feel sore
over the defeat of their Indian allies
recently by the Clare Juniors. The
Tribune thus laments: "It took Clare,
Evart and Midland to defeat the club
from the Indian Industrial school last
Saturday. The game was played in a
strong wind but was one of much interest, many skilful plays being made
and, under the circumstances, was the
best game played this season. The
boys of the government school need
not feel the defeat in a sense that it
was a fair one. Instead of the Clare
"Sunors" they had a picked club from
the three towns mentioned. The score
was 15 to 8."* Since the editor of the
Tribune doesn't pretend to know anything about base ball, we presume
some one told him the egregiously big
yarn about "Clare, Evart and Midland," so we won't be too hard on him,
but thai any person other than Glare
boys played among the Juniors is unqualifiedly false, Hone of* the boys
ever lived in Evart. One of the boys
once lived in Midland but his home
has been in Clare for the past two
years. Perhaps we ought to. admit
however that one of the boys was born"
in Pennsylvania and one of them in
Canada.
