OUR NEIGHBORS.
Paper Read By Mrs.   A. J. Kane
Before Ladies Union.
I don't know as I can count   myself
a   pioneer    for   there    were   a   good
many people  here   before   we   came,
but   it     is   thirty   years    ago.     Some
would almost call that h lifetime.   We
camp to Clare no yearn ago the 22d of
la-d January, that :->. myself   and the,
Children.     Mr.  Kim-   had    been    here
from    the   tirst    ot   the   month      The!
only vacant  house he could   get   war. j
on Vernon Hill,     i think   Erney   Ste-i
vens lives there now.     All the    dep it 1
tbere    was    here    is    now   the    1'     M. I
freight house and it   has   been   twice j
enlarged.
lt was dark, no electric lights then. I
The snow was deep and we had three j
small children  and   of   course    som-
grips   am',   nothing    but   a     footpath;
through the   deep   snow.    1   thought
we   had   come    to    tbe    wilderness
That is the only time that   1   can   re
member that I  was   reallv   lonesomf
and homesick,    for we had   lived   ou :
quite a prominent street   in   Saginaw j
for three years.
We lived on the   Hill   three   weeks'
before 1 saw a human    being   outside
of   mv   own   family .     except     Jerry ;
Feighner    who   came   and   did    some 1
papering for us.     As the   snow    melted and it  came  toward     spring,   our!
nearest neighbors came to call.  They ]
were    Mrs.    Geo.     Smith     and    Mrs. 1
Sine.        The Sine   girls.    Minnie   and j
Liilie. came and trave me the   history x
ot the neighborhood.     They    t -111   me:

A Nation's Cause.
EilK'a- A. (iue-l.
It's Yankee blood they're spilling
Down in Mexico   today,
It's our soldiers that are tilling
New made graves in foreign clay.
It's our heroes that are   tailing
On ihe city's   sunburned   bricks;
It's the nation that   is   calling;
It's no   longer   polities
It i^ war, and we must win it,
For the old Red,   White   and    Blue;
We may  grieve that  we are  in   it,
But we've got to se- it   through.
It's the nation's cause we're   tighting
\nd it's now no time for  kirks,
It's the nation's toe   we're   smiting
And it's out of    politics.
This is I'ncle Sammy's trouble.
Not a partisan altair;
We're not single tile, hut   double,
For the Flag that's   floating   there.
In our views perhaps we dider.
For our country though   we   mix;
Now ail Yankee lips grow stiller.
This is out of polities.
As a nation we're united
'Gainst the crew of blood and spoil.
And until all wrongs be righted
We must never quit that soil.
It is our cause, now it's started,
Not of four or live or six;
For our Flag we're never  parted.
This is out ol  politics.

INTERESTING MEETING
Fine Music,   And   Able   Addiess
By Bishop McCormick.
Maecabee Hall was lilted to its
Beating capacity on Sundav afternoon
at the confirmation service-by Bish  p
(McCormick. The music was tui-
nished by the choir from St. John's
church, Mt. I'lea-ant, aiut it was
ver\ line indeed and imirn enjoy d
vve are Mire h\ a 1 present. The
il i>s was a small one, only three.
comprising Mrs. I'hos. Abbott, Koy-
al Wilson and I-hi-iey   Hubel.
Bishop Mi'l'urniii'k's address was
brief and while given primarily t<i
tne class, yet was ot equal internet
to all. He talks in a plain conversational way and his remarks are
always along practical lines. He sa d
at the outset that the fate of 'he
mission here depends up ti future
developments, lt is not the policy
of the Episcopal church to intrude
itself into a/iy community where the
ground is fully occupied by other organizations.    The future  w'll   dtcde
l whetbe.' an attempt w ill be made to
build a church here.
The central thought in tnP address
was. the importance of int rest in
whatever engages   ou      attention.     It
I is the keynote to success in anything

house which is now tne Thurston:
home on "itb St was vacated and we
moved there Tnere were as many-
neighbors there then as new, except '
Mrs. Cooler's home which was built
while we lived there. We lived there
almost live years. The neighbors
were lovely, but not any better than
they are now.
The first brick in (Tare was built
by Mr. Duniop. If i remember right
it will be 29 years this summer. How
proud we ail were to see a brick building in Clare. Clare had 4 drygoods
or general stores, kept by Mr. Bicknell, Wolsky, Rosa aud Travitic; one
furniture and undertaking, kept by
Mr. Shaver; two hardware aud three
drug stores; I don't remember how
many groceries: one bazaar and jewelry kept by Mr. Elden; and four
doctors, Drs. Maynard, Carpenter,
Davis and Todd. Dr. Todd was a
young man just from college.
The Kirkbride house  stood   where
now stands the lovely Calkins Hotel.
Tbere were no buildings on tbe   east
side of   Main Street  from   the   Chas.
Calkins residence to A. j.    Doherty'?
except Mrs. Dunnigan's houee which
stood   where    is   now    tbe   Mahoney !
store.    There were only a few houses i
on West Seventh   St.   after   you   left!
Main    street.      There     was    a   small l
house where Mr. Cirnmerer lives and '
McKinnon's and Duncan's were   th? '
last   hou-es.    We     did    not   have  as I
many   near    neighbors    as   we   have ;
now.  but    they   w -re   verv    friendly. '

We moved into  c ;ir   present   home
25 years ago last Thursday and    it   is .
as lovely a neighborhood aa any   one
might wish.    Some of the old   neigt - [
horn have   moved   away    and   others
have taken their place.
Ciare is good enough for me and '
I hope to stay here until life's jour- ;
ney is ended and I hope t may be as !
faithful and good to al! as my neigh- |
bors are to me.

Oh You Little Fishes.
For the opening of the fishing season this spring two of our citizens,
R. A. Leffigwell, and deputy WTarden
C. E. Pettit took a trip to Manistee
Co. dropping off at Highbridge
where the P M. crosses the Manistee
river.
Judging by what they brought
back, the fish in tha: section compare favorably with any caught in
tlie streams around Clare. Half a
dozen tbat they caught foot up about
fifty pounds, one oid uncle of .-i raiu
bow trout tipping the scales at 13'.,
as taken out of the water. Wbat
must be the feelings of a local sport
who has tramped the creek patiently
for three hours trying to find a fish
that will stretch out to seven inches
long, to come home and behold nueh
a monster as that. Truly this is a
q U e e r World.

A Railroad Crisis Now.
The  most    recent   reports  of the
operations of  the   railroads  seem   to
justify their   contention   that  a   real
crisis is at hand.    So far as concerns
the roads in   the   Eastern   classification   territory,    not \oniy   has   there
been a very sharp decline in gross
j earnings—a matter of much import
j in a country where   traffic   has   been
doubling every ten or   twelve   years;
tbe falling off in net earnings has
i been unparelled in the history of
' our reads.
I     During the seven months to   February 1st, these lines suffered a loss,   cf
; Jo.iiutJ.OOu in gross earnings   and   *">2.

months of January and    February   of '
