His; Old Place on The Fie& Press.
We find great pleasure in announcing to our readers thai. Chas. B. Lewis,
tho famous "M. Quad,'" has resumed
his former place upon The Detroit Free
Press. Since hisrulirement from The
Detroit Free. Press four years ago Mr.
Lewis has boen writing for one of the
leading syndicates. His preference for
direct newspaper work, however, led
him to abandon that connection, and
hereafter his popular writings will ap-
p2ar only in The Free Press. Mr. and
Mrs. Bowser, Brother Gardner, Arizona Kicker, Zeb White, Abe Crowfoot,
Mrs. Gallup, and many new characters,
will appear regularly.
The publishers are making a special
four months' trial offer of the Semi-
Weekly Free Press for 25c to-introduee
their paper to new readers, and we
would advise those looking for a great
bargain to send iu their subscription at
once. The offer is good only until August 1st.
Baby, baby, baby, as quick as a wink,
before t.hey think, is the way we lake
them at Waterman's Photo gallery.
BADGER AND SUCKER.
Xh« Way Illinois and "Wisconsin Came t»
Get Their Nicknames.
''If there had been no badgers in
Wisconsin," said a native of that state,
"Wisconsin would not be known as the
Badger State, and yet it did not receive
the name because badgers were there.
There were very few white people in
Wisconsin territory in its early days,
the population being confined to the
military posts, the missionary and trading stations, and the lead mining regions in the southwestern part of the
territory. The miners were of two
classes, men who worked the mines all
the year round and men who came up
from the Illinois country in the spring
and worked until the fall, when they
returned to their prairies and groves.
The miners who were permanent dwellers in the region didn't bother to put up
cabins or even huts. In fact, material
for such dwellings was not abundant.
They simply dug holes in the sides ol
the hills large enough to give them
room to sleep and cook in. Nowadays
those burrows would perhaps be called
dugont3, but as they closely resembled
the subterranean homes of the badgers
they were promptly called badger holes,
and the miners who occupied them were
called badgers.
"Any one who cares to tramp through
that part of Wisconsin today will come
upon deep excavations in the rocks—
regular quarry holes bearing every evidence of having heen made long ago.
And so they were. Some of them were
excavated GO years ago and more. They
were the work of the lead miners who
went up from Illinois in the spring to the
mining region. They, being there only
for a short season, did not mine by digging shafts, as the permanent miners
did, nor did they live in burrows. They
blasted the surface rock, making large
pits by their work, seeking what was
called the float lead and ore that was
easily obtained near the top. They occupied the pits they made, as the other
miners did their hillside burrows.
"Owing to the similarity of the migrations of these quarry miners to those
of that familiar fish which goes up
stream in the spring and down again in
the fall, they soon became known as
suckers, and -their pits in the rocks were
called sucker holes. In the course of
years the names badger and sucker came
to be applied to the entire people of
Wisconsin and Illinois. Many of the
original badgers and suckers became tha
leading citizens of their respective localities and helped make the country's
history. When Wisconsin was admitted
to the Union, the badger was placed on
her coat of arms in recognition of this
fact, and it was from the miners who
quarried iu the rocks of Wisconsin that
Illinois got her name of the Sucker
State."—New York Sun.
Worth's Generosity.
An anecdote of the great Worth's
generosity has been going the rounds.
Just where the generosity comes in,
however, is what Ihave failed to detect.
It was during the days of the empire
that a leader of fashion in Paris, finding that she had overdrawn her husband's munificent allowance, and that a
great fancy ball was imminent, went to
the great man milliner and prayed him
to hire her a costume.
He was shooked. Such mean expedients had never come in his line. The
lady prayed. The great man denied.
Finally the prayers of beauty prevailed.
But she was to wear a costume entirely
of his devising.
He dressed her as the flag of Paris.
The tricolor fluttered in her skirts, on
her shoes, in her enameled earrings.
Her hair was dressed to represent a
stormy sea in which rode the famous
three masted galley bearing tbe arms of
Paris. The lady was enraptured. The
great man only charged her 1,500
francs. The dress was hers for one
night only.
A Railroader's Prayer.
A railroad man is responsible for the
following prayer:
"O Lord, now that I havo flagged
thee, lift my feet from off the road of
life and plant them safely on deck of
the train of salvation 1 Let me use the
safety lamp known as prudence, make
all couplings in the train with the
strong link of thy love and let my lamp
be the Bible. And, heavenly "Father,
keep all switches closed that lead off on
the sidings, especially those with a blind
end! O Lord, if it be thy pleasure, have
every semaphore block along the line to
show the white light of hope that I may
make the run of life without stopping.
And, Lord, give us the Ten Commandments ns a schedule, and when I bave
finished the run, and have on schedule
time pulled into the great station of
death, may thou, the Superintendent of
the Universe, say with a smile: 'Well
done, thou good and faithful servant.
Come and sign the pay roll and receive
your check for eternal happiness.' "—
Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
Eqnal to the Emergency.
An old admiral well known for his
power of exaggeration was describing a
voyage at supper one night. "While
cruising in the Pacific," he said, "w^
passed an island "-yhich was. positively
^ecj-with lobsters."
"But," said one pf the guests, snul?
ing incredulously, ''lobsteri(ara, na.'riBJJ
until boiled."
'.'.Qi conrge not,"- replied the nn,T
daunted admiral, "but this was a volcanic island with boiling springs."—
Pearson's Weekly.
Sleepless Nights.
Who hut those who have bad the unhappy experience can tell the horrors
or appreciate the unhappy experience
of people troubled with sleeplessness?
The damnable hatred of all the demons
in hell for mankind mustsurely be appeased by the consciousness of such human suffering. The long, dreary, unhappy hours, who can describe them
and why is it necessary? If you have
ever been troubled you know what they
are, and if you have been spared you
have no interest in the knowledge of
such suffering.
Mrs. A. Bateman, Romulus, Micb.,
after describing her suffering from
sleeplessness extending over a period
of eight years, receiving at times only
bout twelve hours' sleep in a week,
writes of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitali-
zer as follows: "I began taking it in
common doses and the first nigh tl slept
eight hours end had a nap the next
day. Every night since I have slept
eight or ten hours. Oh, how thankful
I am for having had Dr. Wheeler's
Nerve Vitalizer brought to my notice
and for the benefit received from it.
Stop and think,eight years of sleeplessness and cured in a day, does it not
seem like a miracle?" This medicine
is equally as effective in curing nervous
prostration, spasms, fits, sleeplessness,
mental depression, exhausted vitality,
despondency, sexual and general debility. For sale at C. F. Unterkircher's
drug store.
Mrs. T, S. Hawkins, Chattanooga, Tenn.,
says, "Shiloh's Vitalizer SAVED MY LIFE.
I consider it the best remedy for a debilitated system I ever used." For Dyspepsia,
Liver or Kidney trouble it excels. Price
75 cents.   Sold by Nichols Bros. 2
J. A. Richardson of Jefferson City,
Mo. Chief Enrolling force 38th general
assembly of Missouri, writes; I wish to
testify to the merits of One Minute
Cough Cure. When other so called
cures failed, I obtained almost instant
relief and a speedy cure by the use of
One Minute Cough Cure. Nichols Bros.
