The Attractiveness of a Retail Store
Depends largely on the lighting installation.
ELECTRIC LIGHT
is the perfect illuminant for store  lighting
worth its cost in advertising value only.
Let us figure with you,

"Pittsburgh Perfect"
Fences The Best Because
^1.   Staysfare Electrically Welpled to tho strands formipg a perfect union
ftnd an amalgamation wjtb the strands not found in any other tepee.
2. All stay wires are made as heavy as intermediate line wires. A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material in it. Think
this over carefully.
3. No wraps to get loose, to hold moisture and cause rust.
4. No projections to injure stock or tear wool from sheep.
5 Stronger at the joints than any other fence. Welded together with
electricity.
-6.   Guaranteed that the wire is not injured at the joints.
7. Guaranteed adjustable to uneven ground*
8. Guaranteed that stays will not separate from joints.
9. Guaranteed all right in every particular.
10. Made by the most modern process and on the latest improved machinery,
11. Most of the weak points in other fences are on account of  the  way
he stays are fastened.
Our stavs are amalgaraatdd with the strands by means of electricity and
the strength of the feuce increased a hundredfold over the strength of a
fence where the stays ar<>->wrapped or clamped on the strands.
You may pay more money for other fences but you cannot get as good a
r fence as "Pittsburgh Perfect."

Happenings of Interest Gathered for the
"Benefit of Oar Headers.
Touch of Human Interest.
Just two little boys. They were talking of life and death, but it was a
one act play which was of human interest in which pathos and humor
mixed.
Little Frank Malleaux had a birthday this week. Now Frank has been
very ill and his feet wandered a long
way down into the valley, but he is
getting well now.
For this birthday various things
were sent the boy, but his chum, little
John Breaky, came in person and asked to see Frank.
So the well boy went into the room
of the sick boy, the first playmate the
latter had seen for many weeks.
"Hello," said the well boy. "Hello,"
said the sick boy.
And then they looked at each other
for a time, till John made his presentation speech. "I have brought you
a present of a top, Frank, and I hope
you will soon be well enough to spin
it on the sidewalk. I have been aw.ful
worried about you, Frank, and every
day i expected to hear you was dead.
The top cost five cents."
The rather gloomy allusion to his
previous state of health couldn't dim
the joy of Frank in the new five cent
top and the boys had a happy few
minutes planning their spring campaign of play to begin as soon as the
sick boy is well enough.—Ann Arbor
News-Argus.
Only An Incident.
A show company, a girljia f rat pin—
this combination created much excitement for a short time. Last Saturday evening when the curtain at the
Whitney theater went down after the
last act of the "College Widow," the
company disbanded, a part going to
New York to join another company.
In the company was a little girl who
wore the frat pin of a prominent college man—was engaged to him, no
doubt. At the end of the performance
all the old costumes were packed in
trunks to be shipped to a theatrical
costumer. Upon arriving at the hotel
the maiden discovered that the precious frat pin was missing. With
tears in here eyes and terror in her
heart she started for the theater. AU
the trunks had to be opened and
searched, but no pin was found. The
theater was searched but no pin
greeted the eager eyes. Yet weeping,
the girl returned to the hotel where
she encountered a student wearing a
pin of the same frat, who was awaiting her return. A few minutes later
they started out for a supper and as
she put on her coat the quick eye of
the student detected the well known
Greek letter pin, shining underneath
the lapel. The pin was safely fastened where she had placed it before
going to the theater.—Ann Arbor
Times.
Chief of Police Apfel received a letter from a former Ann Arbor man, now
in Cleveland, Ohio, stating that Louis
Betz, who was supposed to have been
drowned seventeen years ago, had
been seen by him in Cleveland. The
report in the letter will be investigated by Betz's relatives.—Ann Arbor
Times.
The grist mill, saw mill, and cider
null at River Raisin station, owned by
Mrs. Charles Dresselhouse, were
struck by lightning one night last
week and burned to the ground. A
bridge close by also took fire, but
this was extinguished before much
damage was done.—Chelsea Standard
Herald.
The American Express Company
feels too poor to continue paying a
drayman to take packages to and from
tbe trains and has taken the ofiice
away from Fred Steinkohl and given
it to Mr. Hamm, the Lake Shore station agent. Who wants to go trapesing to the depot to do express business? But the monopoly has its way.

Was Puzzled.
A great calico sale is on in Milan. A
traveling salesman'/Svhose wares took
him to our dry goods stores the other
day, was puzzled when he saw the
amount of calico that was being
bought. He came to The Leader office to inquire if this was a calico town,
adding to his query, "it is one of the
most progressive and thrifty looking
places of its size I have found on the
map." "No, sir," said the editor. "No
better dressed women can be found in
Michigan than you will see upon the
stpeets gf Milan. But w§'ll let you
'into a secret,' The Pythian Sisters
are going tp gjve a calico dance at
their hall on the evening of March 27,
and all the ladies are expected to
wear calico dresses, and the men, instead of donning their dress suits,
must wear overalls—and we presume
something more."—Milan Leader.
Parents Held Responsible.
New York has adopted very stringent rules for the preservation of the
health of school children, one of the
latest developments being the rule
that parents who do not keep their
children in good health shall be prosecuted. This seems a little autocratic
at first glance, but those who have
studied the subject will readily understand that it is only common justice,
as many parents are utterly indifferent
as to the health of their children, exposing them unnecessarily, clothing
them inadequately and not providing
good food for them, even when their
means allow.
