YELLOW   MEN'S     PERSISTENCE
How Three  Chinamen Managed to    Gain
Entrance to the Transvaal.
During the time when the alien expulsion law wad in force in the Transvaal three Chinamen arrived in the little border town of "Volksrust., The
Transvaal authorities had not had
much experience of Chinamen up to
this, but they were not taken with tlie
appearance of the new comers and
border. For the next three weeks
the police at different points of the
line were engaged in returning the
Chinamen to the colony. They were
dragged out of freight cars, securely
stowed away under the tarpaulin covers; were rooted out of . transport
wagons journej'ing along the main
roarJt; were picked out of gangs o£
Kaffirs, with" their faces darkened so
as to resemble their companions, traveling in cattle trucks. The Chinamen
retained all their normal cheerfulness.
After a time the Chinamen were seen
no more in these parts and they passed
out of the minds of the officials. But
later on three strange Chinamen were
unearthed in Jeppertown doing a
flourishing business among the Kaffirs,
but the alien- law was just then being
quashed and they were allowed to
abide where they were. The incident
supplies a curious illustration of the
yellow man's persistence.

Another Pioneer Gone.
Mrs.  Laura   Wallace   Has   Been
Called to Her Home Beyond.
Another one of the early settlers has
been called from many years or toil and
service. One of the oldest pioneers of
Washtenaw county, if not of the state
was she whose name is penned in these
lines.
Laura Ripley was born in Richmond
township, Livingston county, JN. Y.,
.ta&uary IS, 1S08. Her early life was
^pent with her parents in Lavona town
ship, Livingston county, until in 1829
when she was married to Daniel D.
Wallace, and in the spring of 1881 they
with their 6-months old son Edwin,
came to Michigan and settled in the
then dense forests of the peninsular
state, on the farm now owned and occupied by Fred and George Schweitzer
There they erected a shanty and commenced housekeeping. The spot chosen was along the old indian trail and
was the scene of about twelye stages
or coaches each way daily enroute to
the now great Chicago. The beds
used in their model home, were made
of poles, and the floors were. our. mother earth. In 1S33 they commenced
keeping public house in this lonely
district, yet cheerful and promising lo
them, and for eight years all the travel
to the Great West was by this place
where all the stages stopped and
changed horses.
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace had born to
them while in this little cabin, three
sons and two daughters, making in all
six children, of this list all have preceded their mother in death excepting
three sons, "Edwin W. of this village,
James P. of Minnesota and Martin B.
of Manchester at whose home she died
Thursday evening October 25, 1900 at
7 o'clock and on the following Saturday at noon she was brought to Oak-
wood cemetery and laid beside her
companion who preceded her in death,
September 1876.
Mrs. Wallace was a devoted Christian from her early life, having been
baptized-in the Saline river by Elder
Steven Goodman April 21, 1839 with
seven others, since which lime she
had been a faithful member of the Baptist church here giving liberally to its
support and doing what she could to
carry out Ihe work of the church until
her health and strength compelled her
to leave the duty for younger hands.
Though not ill in the general term,
yet in the last year she had been nearly blind and her memory almost entirely gone. Thus another useful and
ripened life is ended.
A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little
Son's Life.
Mr. H. H. Black, the well known
village blacksmith at Grahamville,
Sullivan Co., N. Y., says:, "Our little
son, five years old, has always been
subject to croup, and so bad have the
attacks been that we have feared many
times that he would die. We have had
the doctor and used many medicines,
but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
now our sole reliance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucus and by giving
frequent doses when the croupy sym-
toms appear we have found that the
dreaded croup is cured before it get
settled." There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contains no opium
or other injurious drug and may be
given as confidently to a bahe as to an
adult.   For sale by Lister & Sheeder.
. Shah's    Gold Casket.
The design of the gold casket whicb
the JLondon Corporation prepared foi
the shah is of Persian eharactei
throughout. The four corners are recessed alcoves, containing figures, antl
surmounted by delicate minarets. Ths
figures represent London welcoming
commerce, education and justice. Ob
the obverse is an enameled miniature
ol the royal recipient, whose imperial
crown is set with precious stones, an4
in the center is an escutcheon bearing
the initial letter "S" set in diamonds.

cold coming on, take Foley's Honey

will prevent pneumonia or consumption if taken in time. . Unterkircher's

Plymouth Binding Twine
A Comparative Statement showing the Cost and Value of Binding
Twine, based on the supposition that a farmer needs, to hind his grain,
300 pounds of Plymouth Sisal, or Standard Twine, which runs 505 feet
to the pound. *
Three hundred pounds of Plymouth Standard or Sisal will .give him
151,500 feet.
151.500 ft. of.505 ft. to the lb., weighs 300 . lbs. @ 14c will cost §42.00
151,500 ft. of 480 ft. to the lb., weighs.315f lbs. @ 14c will cost §44.19
151,500 ft. of 470 ft. to the lb., weighs 322J lbs. @ 14c willcost §45.13
151,500 ft. of 450 ft. to the lb., weighs 336j lbs. @ 14c will cost §47.13
151,500 ft. of 430 ft. to the lb., weighs 352J lbs. @ I4e will cost §49.33
We have recently tested twine sent us for examination, that averaged
a little less than 430 feet to the pound.
The PLYMOUTH Twines are the only ones of these grades that run
505 feet to the pound. Tou saye by buying them, over the lowest
grade, ",§7."33 on 800 pounds, or §2.44 per 100; or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells for 14 cents per pound, the other
should sell for 11 66-100 cents, to be as cheap, and others in proportion
The Moral is. buyr PLYMOUTH Twine, and save money, and the
annoyance of loose bundles, caused by poor twine.
