Some wonderful things occur in this
town. 'Twas only a few days ago that
thc cowcatcher of a T. & A. train from
the north gathered up a colt at the
Main St crossing, carried it to the
bridge and dumped It into the river
without injury to the eowcatcher, the
colt or the river. And uow comes another well authenticated story with
truth stamped in big letters aeross its
face. On Wednesday evening John
Cook, of Wabash ave, hired a horse of
Whaley & Sons, of West Main St, and
took it home and tied it out to pasture
for the night. Sometime during tho
night it broke its fastenings aud went
home via the T. & A. railroad, across
two bridges and a cattle guard, and
was found therein the morning uninjured. The horse*s tracks along the
railroad track gave its route dead
away.'—Milau Leader.
It is particularly pleasant, especially
amid the din and turmoil—the general
unsettledness and dissatisfied condition
of affairs throughout the entire country, to discover some little resting spot
where peace and harmony, tranquility
and prosperity reign undisturbed. It
is an example of what honest purpose
rightly directed and a determination
to,succeed is able to accomplish, under
the most adverse condition and difficulties.   The subject of this sketch is
The   Store
under   the management of Walter C.
Mack.
At the beginning of the present year,
when times were gloomy and the outlook discouraging, as never before,
when in the mouth of every merchant
was the prediction: "this will be the
dullest spring Ann Arbor has ever
known." Instead of being governed by
these discordant notes of warning and
preparing themselves to meet a condition of trade by reducing their expenses and cutting down their salary list,
they adopted an exactly contrary plan
to meet such an emergency. To his
sale-people Mr. Mack explained that it
was his determination to make this
"the greatest season The Store has ever enjoyed"—"never mind about the
times" he said, as the proposition fell
upon many incredulous ears. "Washtenaw county is big enough^her resources are large enough, the people
are intelligent, will be economical
enough in such times as are upon us,
that with the extraordinary offort we
will make and the splendid merchandising we propose to give them, they
will readily recognise our efforts, and
their advantage, and will respond in a
way that will be a mutual benefit to all.
Having adopted this plan for the season no time was lost in executing it to
the fullest extent. With plenty of capital at their command, the markets
were ransacked for their best values,
great lines of seasonable goods were
bought in unbroken lots at prices nev**
er before obtainable—nothing that had
the merit of a big bargain was allowed
to escape and goods were piled up in
The Store—-filling its great capacity—
and this too, with a paralysis of business coming upon them. The goods
had to be sold—that was certain. So
carrying purchases beyond the season,'
and to do this they could resort to but
one means—tell the people what* they
had got, lot the people know what they
have been doing in the way uf buying
goods, let them know just what they
expected to do in the way of selling
them. For this, they relied entirely
upon printer's ink. Hot in homeopath
dooes but in gigantic quantities,enough
to tell their story in every household
in the eounty. The great trade-tide at
once began to ilow Ann Arborward,
raising higher and higher—each day
submerging all previous sale records,
all attempts at competition. This season's remarkable retailing, this rapid
assembling and disbursing of large
quantities of merchandise, illustrates
how thoroughly equipped they are to
take advantage of every commercial
condition in any part of the country,
renders it impossible for any house in
whole countr-y to undersell them, renders it altogether improbable for any
local house to meet the marvelous merchandising at The Store. It was these
advantages combined with an indomitable will that has made the first half of
the present year the most successful in
its history.
A Great Mid-Summer Sale.
As a fitting ending for this remarkable season they are now preparing for
a great mid-summer sale to close out all
odds and ends of their great purchases;
but more especially to close out their
entire line of Carpets and Draperies—
they advertise in these lines of goods—
prices this country has never kuown,
and as it is their intention to clean oat
this entire department in the next few
weeks the public can look for something startling. This will be all the
more appreciated in the city whore
housecleauing is now in full blast in
preparation for next year's college
year. Too mueh cannot be said of those
special sales as well as their Satu rday
sales, which bring a concourse of people to Ann Arbor in the course of the
year and make The Store what it really is,—Washtenaw Go's Trading Center.—Ann Arbor Register.
Sweet Peas.
Sweet peas, as usually gro<vn, give
but few flowers at this season; but it is
an easy matter to have these most
charming flowers until tbe coming of
very cold weather. To begin with,
the seed should be sown early in the
season,—in April, if possible,—in
trenches six inches deep. Cover the
seed to the depth of an inch only, at
first. As the plants shoot up, draw soil
about them until you have the trench
filled. When the buds appear clip
them off and prevent the plants from
flowering any before the latter part of
July. It may seem cruel to do this;
it may involve some sacrifice on your
part, if you are fond of this flower; but
what you lose now will be fully made
up later, and I am confident sweet
peas in August and September will be
more highly appreciated than during
the sumner, when there are so many
other flowers to enjoy. If you do not
feel willing to put off the enjoyment of
them, have a little patch for early
blooming; by picking the blossoms
constantly, allowing none to go to seed,
the blooming season will he greatly
prolonged. During the hot, dry, midsummer season, keep the ground about
the plants well covered with grass
clippings from the lawn. When these
decay, dig them into the soil, and
spread on fresh ones. In this way the
roots of the plants can be kept from
getting.dry, and this is of the greatest
importance. In fact, you cannot grow
good sweet peas in a dry soil.
When the crop of August flowers, he-
gins, go over the plants every day and
remove every blossom as it fades. It
is very important that no seed he allowed to form. Reverse all the
strength and vitality of th e plant for
the formation of flowers. Sweet peas
will be found among the most useful of
all flowers for cutting; but never try to
"arrange" them. Let them do that
for themselves. Gather them with
long stems, hunching them loosely in
the hand; when you have all you think
youjneed-do not have dojmany that they
will crowd each other,— simply drop
the stems into the vase or howl and
give them a shake, and they will "arrange" themselves in a more satisfactory manner than yoa could attain if
you were to work over them all day.—
