To a business man is to get the idea into his head
that he ought to take hold and look after the other •
fellow's affairs. Business men who take a contract
to attend to other peoples affairs usually finds his
business _ suffers. It is just^ as hard to be in two
places at once as ever it was. Besides he is likely"
to make a nuisance of himself, and nuisances are
unpopular.   It is strange that a man can be so blind
-Y
to his own interests. Shakespere says, "There's a
tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood
leads on to fortune " But not everyone knows that
tide in his life when he sees it, and fewer know how
to take it at the flood. Now our ad. writer sees it
and takes it and gets a hustle on keeping step with
the progress.

Though a successful operation was
made yesterday by Drs. Beeder, of
this city, and Pulien, of Mt. Pleasant, the patient was so weakened
from the ravages of the afiiictioii
that he had not' the necessary
strength-to .o-vorcome .the. shock, sustained.
The deceased was born in Murray
Ont., May-20, 1850, and was united
in marriage with Jennie Eliza Edmonds, of the same place, on Nov.
18,1874. Mr. and Mrs. Fall continued their residence in Murray until
twelve years ago when they came to
Clare, and where, they have resided
continuously since. Mr. T'all was
one of a family of seven children.
To Mr. and Mrs. Fall wore born
seven children, 'of whom with the
wife and mother three sons survive.
In 1874 the deceased* was converted
'to the Christian faith and united
with the M. E. church, and since
that time has been an active and
tireless "worker in the cause. -He
was an official of the church for
several years, and at his death was
one of the trustees of the class as
well as a member of the Sunday
school board. Ho was a member of
Clare tent, K. O.T. M,, and for several years has held the office of
record keeper of the. tent, in which
he held a beneficiary certificate for
$3,000.
For.tho past, six years Mr, Fall
fiias been cJnrplo|yetl by the Ami Ar
bor railroad as one of its trackmen
in this city, and with the company
he was- regarded as a faithful and
trustworthy employe. Though the
trials and sorrows of life have been
numerous in his family, he -always^
bore them with commendable patience, and a Word of cheer and
kindly greeting was always forthcoming. He had a deep and abiding
interest in the city of his- adoption,
and gave of hislimitedmeans whenever he felt that the public weal demanded it. The. needy never
approached him in vain, and in the
practice of those traits of character
Mr. Fall gave practical demonstration of_ the sincerity of his Christian "profession.    "'  ■:■-----=■:
