If any of our readers are addicted to
somnambulism here is a cure whicli
never^fails: Just before retiring take a
tablespoonf ul of 6 oz. tacks, shake them
thoroughly together and scatter them on
the carpet over which the sleeper has to,
walk. The effect is said to be highly exciting and satisfactory.
The time may come when politics will
mean all that is noble and good: when a
small boy will break an apple in two and
give his little sister the biggest half;
when a tramp will work and n stray dog
won't bite, but the day will never dawn
when a fly can tickle a prowsy man's
nose without making him jump.

J. W. Calkins has received considerable wheat since he commenced buying*
about a week ago, though it is not coming in at a very liyely rate as yet. The
farmers have considerable confidence in
"Tip" as a grain dealer, knowing that he
always pays them the highest prices the
market affords and they are flocking to
him from far and near with the assurance that he will receiye their crop as
soon as it is ready for the market. The
price for good wheat continues firm and
at a fair figure and prospects are looking bright.
Among the visitors at Clare on Monday was Bernard Heller, proprietor of
the Northern Hotel at Harrison, the .largest and most convenient structure of its
kind in that village. Mr. Heller has had
the building leased for the past year/, but
has again assumed control of it and has
gotten up on the occasion of the 12th anniversary of their marriage, and it was a
surprised couple they were when Mr.
DeVogt came to the door in answer to a rap from without and " gazed
upon the crowd who declared they had
come to get their "picture took.'"5. . All
were invited in and made to enjoy the
hilarity of the-occasion to its fullest extent. Games and sports predominated
for a time, until a tempting luncheon
was spread which attracted general at-
tention. After this the party adjourned
to Mr. DeVogt's spacious gallery on the
first floor and tipped the light fantastic
toe to the sounds of sweet music for 'a
couple of hours, when the visitors adjourned—all declaring they had .-had a
rattling good time and voting Mr. ahd
Mrs. DeVogt experts at entertaining a
party of friends.
Character is revealed by the cigar—if.
a mail smokes his cigar only long
enough to keep it lighted, and , relishes
taking it out of his mouth to watch, the
curl of smoke in the air, set him down as
an easy going man. Beware of the man
who never releases his grip on the cigar
and is indifferent whether it burns or ,
not; he is cool, calculating and exacting.
The man who smokes a bit,, rests a bit,
and fumbles his cigar more or less,- i&
easily affected bjr circumstances. If the-
cigar goes out frequentty, the smokei
has a whole-souled disposition, is a "hail
fellow well met," with a lively brainr
glib tongue, and generally^ fund qf capital anecdotes. A nervous man.. who
fumbles his cigar a great deal is a sort of
popinjay among men. Holding the cigar
.constantly between the teeth, chewing it
occasionally, and not caring if it'be.lighted at all, are the characteristics of men
who have the tenacity of bulldogs. The r
fop stands his cigar on "one.'end, hnd an
experienced smoker points it. straight
ahead, or almost at. right angles with his--
course. But the-man who Smokes not afe ,
all, is among the noblest works of God.

The papers were made out this week
whereby George W. Boorn traded his-
saw mill and site to Edwin Benner'for an>
SO^acre farm in Barry-county, aboufc four
miles from the -town of Hastings. The*
farmls of good soil, well under., ciiltiya-
i tion and has'suitable buildings  thereoi
ajr.Boii
which he will inpye tb HastingsjTricT puif
into operation, where he also intends' locating with his family in. about two
weeks. The mill property which Mr.
Benner receives is near the union passenger depot in this village, at the crossing of the Toledo, Ann Arbor &. North
Michigan railroad with the Flint <fcr Pere
Marquette railroad—just south of the
latter and east of the first named joad— -
containing a parcel oi land the size of
five ordinary village lots. The saw mill
machinery, boiler and engine are in fair
condition.  'The site is a  very-valuable
one, being finely located for a manufacturing industry of any kind—laying in
the forks of two.excellent,. railroads and
affording unsurpassed advantages, for
shipping. What Mr. Benner intends do'-
ing with the property is not. learned,
Whether he. intends putting the old mill
in condition and set it running or whether he will hold it for speculative purposes is a matter of conjecture. At any
rate, it is hoped that the site will be utilized to an adyantage 'ere long.
The editor of the Mt. Pleasant  Enterprise visited Lansingville one  day last.
week and after reaching  home  relieved
his mind in the following manner in' the
way of giying Clare people a little fath-   ,
erlyadyice:, "A trip to Lansing sidings
Monday afternoon gave the Enterprise a^
chance to comprehend what is going on*
there.   If Clare "does not  look  well to*
her opportunity the siding ivill. sooii be*-
extending that way and take in  pur-
northern neighbor as a suburb.   • A  surprising fact came to light that the  foundations for a. large and  thriving . manu-
iactory are well laid.   Extensive  buildings, machinery, power, sidetracks  and*'
other conveniences are  there.    Already'
eight large separators  have  been made*-
and sold at reasonable rates.  • One  machine was in process oi construction andi
gave a good opportunity to see the internal workings which   are improvements1*
giving great advantage over other makes?.
of separators.   W. H. Bowen, the invea^'
tor, is a large, leisurely   actingx man  of
Holland descent and  thinks  practically
and clearly as to tjie results to be  obtained    and    then    demonstrates   his
'thought* with his inventions.     That he *
had a force at work  papering, painting. has a good thing in this separator no one

and thoroughly renovating irom cellar
to garret. Eyery thing is being put in
ship trim and Mr. Heller is tolook after
the wants and comforts of the traveling
public in person from this time forward.
He is known as a courteous and painstaking landlord and extends a cordial invitation to all from this vicinity to call
upon him'when at the county seat.
Those who had the pleasure topartic-
ipate in the fun on Tuesday evening at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. JDeVogt
declare that it was an event not soon to
be forgotten.   It was a surprise party
who has examined it caii dispute. V.. F,
Conlogue is attending to the business
end of the company and with F. D. Pat-,
terson has a partnership interest in the
same. New buildings are to be erected
and preparations are in progress to put
upon the. market one hundred new machines next season. This means a business of fifty thousand dollars for this little burg and of this a very large portion
wili be paid out in wages and the wage
earners will build cottages, churches -and
school houses and this will make a town.
Thus Clare wants to look a little out."
