What _e<l to liloivs.
The Judge—"How did this disgraceful street fight begin?" The Prisoner
—"It was like this: Peter and I were
boyhood chums and I hadn't see him
for years. I greeted him warmly, and
said he had grown big and stout while
I was away. He told me I looked the
picture of health. So, one word led
to another till we soaked each other
good and hard."

AC R E AT record of' cures, unequalled in medical history, proves
Hood's Sarsaparilia possesses merit unknown to any other MEDICINE.
A Famous and Splended Corps—The
Regimental Spirit.
Before 1895 our frontier post was
Mardan—"Mardan, where the Guides
are." Here, ever since its foundation,
that famous and splendid corps has
heen quartered in the intervals of
campaigns which have consistently
added to the luster of its record, says
G. W. Steevens in the London Mail.
The only corps in India, except the
Gurkha battalion, which has permanent quarters, the Guides have made
Mardan less of a station than a regimental home. Here are it? family
heirlooms—the mess-wallg coyered
with heads Qf buffalo anc. ibejc, antelope and mountain sheep, with banners taken from the enemy, and queer
Greco-Buddhist statuary excavated
out of the neighboring hills. Here is
the regimental cemetery—full new
and overflowing into a new one—and
an arph and little garden tardily
created by government to the memory of the handful of the corps who
died at post round Cavagnari in Ka-
hul. Also the little swimming bath
in the officers' garden, the fort with
sentries of many types—here a Sikh,
there an Afridi, a Gurkha, a Rajput,
a Dogra—for "God's Own" is composed
of the pick of all the fighting races
of India. In enormous long white
trousers Sepoys and Sowars walk
placidly about their home and the
home of their fathers; for the fighting native puts down his young son
for the Guides as you might at home
for the Travelers. You come across
a native officer of forty-two years'
service-.straight away to before the
mutiny—a smiling, little old gentleman, whose dyed beard only just
matches the mahogany of his skin.
He regrets, politely, that the Guides
were not able to appear at Omdurman,
and remarks, as an incentive to my
future efforts, that he himself saw a
war correspondent killed at Landakai.
Every officer or man you meet has
the air of a gentleman taking his ease
in his own house. Mardan is the concrete epitome of the spirit that makes
a regiment—the only satisfactory
translation I ever met of the words
esprit de corps.

Stood Death Off
E. B. Munday, a lawyer ot Henrietta,
Tex., once fooled a grave-digger. He
says: "My brother was very low with
malarial fever and jaundice. I persuaded him to try Electric Bitters, and
he was soon much better, but continued
their use until he .was wholly cured.
I am sure Electric Bitters saved his
life." ' his remedy expels malaria,
kills disease germs and purifies the
blood; aids digestion, regulates liver,
kidneys and bowels, cures constipation,
dyspepsia, nervous diseases, Kidney
troubles, female complaints; gives perfect health. Only oOj at L'ster <_

Macon Happenings
Geo- Rendel and Rolfe Mills were 'in
Adrian Saturday on business.
Jesse B. Coller has been quite sick
with a cold, and now hes the measles.
Mrs. John Buck, of Tecumseh, is
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Isaac Gan-
oung.
Robert Bard was in Saline Saturday
aud Sunday,
The Lyceum Association held a business meeting at the town hall Wednesday night.
Members of the Saline Grange are
invited to join with the Ypsilanti
Grange in an all day session on Saturdayeommencing at 10 o'clock a. m. It
is hoped that as many will avail themselves of this opportunity as possible
as questions of importance are to be
discussed and the time will be most
profitably spent. Di nner will be served
at noon. Don't forget the time and
place—Ypsilanti Grange Hall on February 17.
Senator Pettigrew, who was thou ght
to have been safely shelved on a committee where he could do no harm, is
how threatening to reopen the embalmed beef controversy for purposes of investigation. This subject is really too
ancient.
The United States Senate is very uneasy over the provisiou of the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty which forbids the
United States to fortify the canal.
They ask what would prevent the British tleet from taking it away from us
and preventing our using it in case of
war with us.
The reason why Congress thinks it
best not to allow Porto Rican products
free entry to the United States at present is not found in the fear of Porto
Rica alone. That island's products are
very small at best and could be admitted without hesitation. But to so admit them would furnish a precedent for
the same action in regard to the Philippines and lo any other islands or
countries that we may hereafter acquire, aud this might be a very serious
matter. It is just as well to go slow.
Yet something must be done for the
Porto Ricans, whom we have deprived
of their old markets. So a reduction
will be granted until the Supreme
Court can decide the constitutional
question once for all.
Austin Crane has hit on a novel way
of getting back at the gas company.
He says he has observed that every
month some one comes around and examines the dial on the contrivance called a meter, which stands in his establishment; and that shortly after a bill
is presented. If there were no meter,
he argues, there would be no bill, so
the other day while painters were at
work in the office Mr. Crane borrowed
a brush from one of them and in a few
seconds had covered the meter ctfal
with while paint. This lie says is a
solution of the gas bill problem* as his
meter can not be read and hence no
charges can be made ag-iinst him for
gas.—Ypsilanti Commercial.
