Garbage and Garage.
The other day Claude wrote: "Isn't
It about" time *we were renewing our
, boyhood acquaintance? Send me a
photograph of your home." Nothing
loath, Frank ordered the town photographer to prepare 100 postcard :pic-.
ture.s vpf his homg aij-J lu.r.r.gun-ynjg-*,
and of these sent a dosen different
views to Claude. He did not discover
until too late that three big garbage
barrels were In the foreground. In a
couple of weeks Claude sent a dozen
views of his mansion to Frank, and
in the foreground were three beautiful automobiles, with a marble garage
hard by. "Only the small letter b
divides us," wrote the surgeon; "you
have the garbage, I have the garage;
I have the autos, you have the barrels." Frank, feeling rather humiliated, telegraphed: "Garbage barrels
a mistake of photographer; they belong to my neighbor." Claude replied:
"Same with my autos and garage;
got in by mistake; belong to my neighbor."—New York Press.
Wine for Pole Seekers.
The announcement that Dr. Charcot is taking- 22,000 bottles of wine "on
his expedition to the south pole is
likely to cause not a little amazement
in temperance circles. Nansen, on his
"furthest north" expedition—the superlative has been beaten since by
Peary—kept his crew mainly on non-
intoxicanta. For breakfast they began
by having coffee and chocolate daily;
but soon altered it to eoSee two days,
a week, tea two and chocolate tjjree.
At supper tea. only was gervgd a*} a.
beverage. At dinner., aa a rule,
"stories and Joke? cir-eulated along
with the bock b#er," The Fram was
weli provisioned, for Nansen wrote,
when amid the ice socks, "There ia
not a thing we long for."

. Impaired His Health.
City Attorney 2. W. Dwyer of Ann
Arbor, is in receipt, of a letter from
Mrs. Thomas Ellis of New Haven,
Mich., giving details of the illness of
her busbaud, Motorman Ellis, who was
to have been tried for manslaughter at
the December term of court. . Mr.
Ellis' health has been failiDg all summer, she says. *He haB been suffering
with the blues and melancholy and
was liable to begin weeping at almost
any time. On election day he became
violently insane, and since then he has
had to be watched night and flay.
Three doctors say that the trouble was
caused by the crash of the collision
and that he bore up under the strain
until his narves gave way. Papers
were made out by the judge of probate
to send him to Pontiac but there seemed to be a slight change in his condition and. be will be left at home while
the doctors see if something can be
done for him. It is certain that he
cannot be tried this term, and it is just
possible that the case' will never come
to trial.—Ypsilantian. Here comes
another of those so commonly called
'"Insanity dodge" cases. It is becoming very popular in 'our state that
when a man is up for trial on a serious
charge and his chances look- as though
he would be convicted, that he will
then, unexpectedly to the public,  be*
come temporarily insane.

Big Black "Airship."
Just as the Exponent editor arrived
at his home for dinner Tuesday noon
a big black something swooped into
the yard driven by the nor-by-nor-
west gale and alighted, kerflop at his
feet. As soon as the machine stopped
the editor saw it was oue of the new
millinery airships that had lost its
passenger. Looking up and around
no dark speck loomed against the
horizon, and he was forced to conclude
that the lady r.viator must have been
disconnected at some distant point.

Seriously Burned.
Mis6 Bertha Thorn, 19, employed in
the family of H. R. Scovill at Ypsilanti
as a house maid, is in the Homeopathic hospital in Ann Arbor, suffering from burns which will probably
cause her death. The girl arose in
the night and lighted a lamp. - The
chimney fell off, and in stooping to
pick it up, the sleeve of her nigh'gown
caught fire. In trying to extinguish
the blaze, she tipped the lamp over
upon herself, and instantly was wrapped in flames. Beneath her night
robe she wore a heavy suit of union
underweer. This caught fire, and the
terrified girl ran screaming downstairs
It Was impossible to pull the burning
garment off her until she bad been
burned from head to foot, Her borne
is in Augusta township —News.

Stomach trouble is but a symptom of, and not
in itself a true disease. We think of Dyspepsia,
Heartburn; and Indigestion as real diseases, yet
they are symptoms only ot a certain specific
Nerve sickness—nothing else.
It was this fact7 that first correctly led Dr. Shoop
In the creation of that now yery popular Stomach
Remedy—Dr. Shoop's Bestorattyo. Goins direct
to the stomach nerot, alone brought that success
and favor to Dr. Shoop and his BestoratWe. Without that original and highly yital principle, no
such lasting accomplishments were eyer to be bad.
- For stomach distress, bloating, biliousness, bad
breath and sallow complexion, try Dr. Shoop's
Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—and tea toi your-
self what it can and will do. We sell and enter-
