The  Season' of Tribulations  for   Dutiful
_ Husbands is Now on.
The suspension of an one hundred
fifty pound carpet upon a clothes
line twelve feet in • the air, the removal of the best dresser from the
guest chamber on the second floor,
down winding stairs and ''into the
front yard, and the lowering of
nineteen feet of stovepipe' without
spilling a spoonful of its * contents'
upon the floor, are a few of the perT
plexing duties just bow staring the
lord of the household in the upper
front. The dutiful husband. who
has long been a volunteer in the
army pf benedicts, faces, these duties with an air of patient submiS'
sion. He knows the consequences'
of/failure to obey orders. He/wears
a -smile When he fihaa- his rdinnei.
awaiting him upon the* pantry
shelves, and his new sprang cravat
safely stored in the soap box containing the years crop of wornout
shoes. He utters not a murmur at
being compelled to Bleep upon &
stack of old clothes in a 4x6 closet,
nor does a~ siglr escape" Mm as he
stands upon' a chair endeavoring to
remove a fifty pound hanging lamp
from a twelve foot ceiling.
Some women are particular, awfully so. It makes no. difference,
however, to the educated husband.
He performs his duties with a patience that will have Its reward, if
not in this world, then in the next.
.The peregrinations of The Courier man brought him, one day this
week, in front of the home of a well
known spauso on —th street. He
was raking the lawn. "Upon observing the caller, the husband cast a
hasty glance toward the front door,
apparently to make sure that his.
wife was not ill, sight, then leaned
upon his rake handle and in carefully
guarded whispers related his troubles: '.
"This 'makes the ninth- time I
have raked thelawn tins-week; The
net result of the eighth raking was
two burnt matches and a cigarette
stub. So .far this time I have found
nothing. However" I am determined
to place this patch of grass in a condition that will please my better
half if it takes all summer. I have
a plan which I feel sure will eradicate all Undesirable matter from the
plat, and for the benefit of other
suffering, husbands, I will put you
on. Upon completion of this agitation of the surface, 1 shall proceed
with a fine tooth comb to repeat the
process. Following that I aim to
spread two bushels of Svourem's
washing powder <jver the- surface,
and turn on the hose. I am.; sure a
shampoo will be of great sanitary
benefit." "As,a'last, and I feel'absolutely essential-treatment," I -havo-
ordered two barrels of the best dandruff cure, which I shall apply with
a watering pot. Cleanliness is an
absolute necessity about this household,, and the efficacy "of the last
remedy is so well established that I
am sure with one application the
lawn will remain scrupulously clean
during the remainder of the season."
Ho heaved a sigh and resumed
his raking.

Splendid Opportunity in Clare fpr the  Establishment of Such an Enterprise,,
Fine Building, Fiyst-Class  Power  and  an
Abundance of Pure Water.
With'the completion oft Caliam &
Coriiwell's up-town flouring mill,
the plant at the river will be yacat-
ted, and some- informal discussion"
has been had as to what- would be
therm6st" "desirable" industry ~to_-"install therein. The building is constructed in a substantial manner, is
comparatively new and of sufficient
size to permit*the conduct of a manufacturing enterprise of no mean
proportions.  * '
The Courier is assured that Mr,
Caliam would be pleased to see the
plant utilized for some manufactur-
3p£.]purp9'S?i.«Bd^
ed his belief in the .especial desirability of the site for a woolen milj.
Its distance from the railroad,
would not be the disadvantage to an
enterprise of that kind nearly as
much as to one requiring the use of
heaYy ipaterials fdr ijajnufaefcure.
Either electric..-.o^*ftterj>o.wer. clfiild
ba utilised. - and the water required
in the operation of a plant for the
manufacture of cloths and yarns is
there in abundance. _,•
There is not a better opportunity
in the state of Michigan for the establishment of such an* enterprise
than the Caliam .plant affords, and
there is no doubt but that the owner
of the property, stands willing to
make such 2iberalt<terms. for the
building and-power that It will be
secured for such purpose before the
season closes.

B. I*. Cqrnwell, of the firm of Caliam &.Cornwell. owners of the
Clare roller mills, urges The Courier to warn parents against the
practice of permitting their children
to frequent the mill pond unaccompanied by adults. Mr. Cornwell
states that upon eveiy clear day
there are from ten to twenty-five
children from, five to., twelve years
of age about the mill, and that many
of thom will go out upon the pond
in parties of three or more and ■ in
boats utterly unsafe. ' Already this
spring several have, fallen into the
pond and either been rescued by
their companions or swam to shore.
In many places the water is very
deep, and should the practice continue it will only be a matter of time
when some venturous youtlr will
find a watery grave.

Spafford, of Cadillac, deputy game
warden of this district,'at- an early
hour this morning shot and killed
Christ MpLain on Road Lake, 12
miles north of Frankfort.
McLain . and' his son" and .three
men were spearing fish, out of. season', and. an attempt was being made
by Spafford and another, deputy to
.arrest the party. Iii-the general
fight which followed Spafford was
pinned to the earth by a. sp'e.ar in
McLain's hands, the weapon tearing the flesh near tho heart.       . .
While, prone upon the ground Spafford exclaimed: "I guess they've
got me," and pulling his six-shooter
sent a bullet crashing into the retreating form of liis assailant. . The
ball entered his back at the base 'of
the spine, death following instantly.
Darkness prevented the identification of the men in company with
tho McLains, ' \
Spafford claims self-defense,, and
came to Frankfort and gave himself up. He refused to talk further
of the incident, Spafford was formerly landlord of the McKinnon
hotel, at Cadillac, and isquiteprom-

Advantages of Turbine Engines.
The special advantages attaching
to the use of turbine engines on, ships
are the- absence. ot. vibrations, which
shake hulls and fittings; the i_reat
saving of weight in machinery, that
for a turbine- being. ■■ -twenty-ono
pounds a horse-power, while that of
the present style of engine is 150
pounds a horse power; increased stability due to the low position of- the
center of gravity in the engine; less
danger to the engine-room crew from
fast-moving parts and a much smaller engine room force is required.
G. W. Easier, who officiated upon
the block at W. R. Lyons' anction
on Tuesday, informs The Couifl&R
that this was his. first sale for over
twenty years, though in his younger days he followed the business as
a profession^. "Those . present at.
Tuesday's sale declare that G, W;
is strictly "in it" as an auctioneer,
and will doubtless be called. upon
for many 'othet sales during the
season.
Principles of Money.
J. Laurence Laughlin, head professor of political economy in the University of Chicago, has. written a hefty
tome on '.'The Principles of Money."
Wall street cannot understand it,at
all. Down theife alf they know about
money is its principal and interest.
If money has principles it is something hitherto unknown and undreamt
of. There isn't, a broker on or oil
the' exchange who is pot ready to wager a year's' commissions that Prof.
Laughlin has misspelled the* word.

Describing  Kleptomania.
Vi3STagasinitls" is a new word coined by a French physician to describe
the state of mind, similar td intoxication,   produced    in , kleptomaniacs

of   seemingly  unguarded   articles   in
department    stores.    Dr. . Dubuisson
..thinks    that, the; owners  of    these
' stores should try to diminish temptation, as well as to punish thieves.

Secretary Shaw Pu'zz'ed.
The queerest contribution on record to the treasury department's conscience fund fcis been received. It
is an old-fashioned 'wa*ih with, a gold-
Ailed case and ' Swiss movement.
With it was this note: "Such as 1
have/l give unto you for the conscience fund. The money I gave for
the watch is more than I consider I
owe the government." The timepiece is worth only a few dollars.
Secretary Shaw does not know what
to" do with the contribution. A,watch
can not be turned into the general
fund, and Mr. ;Shaw does not know
whether he has the authority to sell
. it and turn in the' proceeds. That
question is being, looked up by the
department's solicitor.
