A PUZZLE PICTURE,
The Lion and the Lamb Lay Down
Together, But Where ls
the Lamb?
The genial cashier of tbe Glare
Ccmufcy Savings Bank, Clark H. Sutherland, hears bis blushing honors with
becoming modesty and dignity, albeit
there is a sort ot Did-you-see-mc-do-
it twinkle in the north-east corner of
his left eye when his friends offer
their congratulations.
It was a notable victory—his capture
of the Olare county Democracy, horse,
foot and dragoons, and his reinstatement as High Priest, counsellor and
guide of the partj. There was a time
once before when Clark was the whole
thing in the democratic party of Clare
county but in 1896, when he came back
from the national convention, in
which he sab as a delegaoe from Michigan and helped make William Bryan
the standard bearer of his party, he
experienced a change ot heart. At
first he had thought it was all right
but as he meditated, be got to feeling
that Bryan was a B-A-D mafl and that
everybody who supported him was an
enemy to his country. Then it was
that Clark quit 'em—dropped the
whole bunch cold—and commenced
baving all sorts of fun with the Democrats whoibelieved in the principles
■which Bryan advocated and who
thought that the national convention
had a right to speak for the party.
Clark let 'em think so bub he insisted
that as for himself he had considered
the matter a whole week and he
wouldn't train with a crowd who believed any such foolishness as that the
great majority of the party had a
right to rule. They could rule themselves but they couldn't rule him.
That was six long years ago and the
Cheerful cashier remained .steadfast
}fl his determination to swat his
former fellows, . Two Presidential
elections came and' Claik chuckled
with delight each time, while the
Others nursed the wounds they had
•fisceived in battle and groaned as defeat after defeat crushed down upon
them. Olark called them Popultets
and maintained that he himself and
the half dozen, or so followers that
failied around him, were the only genuine survivors of the Democratic
party.
Jfc must not be, supposed that Clark's
maintenance of tbis attitude failed to i
arouse the ire of his former fellow
Democrats.
They were mad clear through.
They said several things about Clark,
strongly emphasizing their remarks
at times. They continued to work for
the party, aDd, on account of Clark's
defection, they put forth extra effort
to bring about success, while Clark
stood around and'stuck pins in 'em
•ind gave 'em the horse laugh.
All this was not calculated to generate any very high grade of harmony
but Clark didn't care. He maintained
that he was controlled byP-R-I-B"-C-l-
P-L-E, while the other fellows
wouldn't know a principle if they saw
one. They read htm out of the party
but Clark never turned a hair. They
said that if he ever came back' he'd
have to come in at the back door and
crawl on his hands and knees and
apologize for stabbing the party in
the back—and Olark just winked the
other eye. He'd show 'em when the
time came! He rather thought the
back-door business and the crawling
and the apologizing would be done
by some other people that he knew of
and not by him. Tbe fact that they
were out plugging for the party while
he was doing the other thing didn't
weigh an ounce with him. They were
all Pops just the same, and when he
got a good ready he'd take tne reins
into his own hands again, that's what
he would. They would all have to
take their medicine and acknowledge
that all this six years they ought not
to have voted the Democratic ticket
but ought to have bucked it just
as he had done.
The outcome shows that Clark
knew what he was talking about and
that he knew his men. He got a good
ready this summer and decided that
now waa the accepted time to get back
into the saddle. It was dead easy I
He had his good friend, Balph Mus-
cott, one of the shewdest and straight-
est politicians in the county and who
had been standio? out in the cold with
Olark for these six years—he had
Ralph look after the^ first ward;
William Wolsey, a director of Clark's
bank, was made chairman of the delegation in the third; and Olark him-'
self saw to it that everything worked
alright in the second. It was a great
feast of crow but Clark and his contingent were not doing the eating.
Swearing they would ne'er consent,
the other fellows consented.
At the county convention there was
more crow. The boys who for six
years had been doing all the party
work, wiped the sweat, off their faces
and tried to look pleasant, while thev
partook of the feast. Clark didn't
crawl and he didp't apologize. He
wanted 'em to understand that he
didn't have to. They were the ones
who,ought to be ashamed of themselves for daring to stand by their
party when he didn't. He had attended every Democratic convention
ever held in Clare county. Some of
'em balked a little at this statement
for it was the same as telling them
that the conventions which they had
beep attending and the candidates
whom they had been supporting since
Clark jumped 'em iu 1896, ■ were not
Democratic. Olark just chuckled and
rubbed it in. . He knew he had 'em and
he held 'em right down to the grindstone good and plenty. And when he
let 'em up he was in full control of the
party again, had swiped the party's
thorny crown and crushed it down up
on his own manly brow, and was their
duly accredited delegate to the state
convention. He hadn't crawled,
neither had he  apologized.
At the state convention he trained
with the other rehabilitated Democrats like himself and helped to evolved an artistic and beautiful scheme.
It is a sort of wolf-in-sheep's-clotb-
ing proposition: "Let's disguise ourselves," they said, "for if the people
know who we are they'll shy at us.
They will remember what an awful
mess we made of it when "we broke
into the state government before.
Let's pretend we aint free silver men
or gold men any more or free traders
or Aguinaldo sympathizers or anti-
expansionists or trust haters. Let's
just pretend we're good and let's set
up a holier-than-thou cry to fool 'em.
Let's denouace and condemn and view
with alarm and protest against everything Republicans have done or left
undone and try to make the people
believe that nobody else is real nice
and good but us. Maybe we can fool
enough of'em to let us get our hands
onto that big surplus in the state
treasury and squander it the same way
we did what we found there in 1891."
So, in effect, they said this in a set of
resolutions, nominated a lot of men
who had been fighting their party for
years,   pulled their garments down

wulf-paws, and Clark came home.
Yes, it was a notable triumph—for
Clark. "Did I do any crawling? You
didn't hear me apologize, did you?"
says Clark.
And then he winks the other eye
and smiles so you can hear him down
as far as Jackson's meat market and
he goes hack into the bank to figure
up the profits on the day's loans.

EXCUSION    TRAIN   WRJECKED.
Clare   People   Escaped   Without
Injury.
An excursion train of eleven coaches
with 600 passengers on Doard, while on
its way to Frankfort, was wrecked
last Sunday morning when six miles
the other side of Cadillac. At the
time the train was going 35 miles an
hour. It was a broken flange that
caused the derailine of the engine and
five cars, two of which were thrown
over on their side. Eleven persons
were injured, all women and children
escaping unscathed. All the injured
are doing well, the railroad authorities
having cared for them in the very
best way possible.
Dr. Carrow of Marion was the only
physician on the train at the time and
he was kept fully employed till help
arrived. Having no medicine, he
called for something stronger than
water for the injured and it was surprising how many bottles of choice
"wet goods" speedily made their appearance.
Thirty-eight tickets had been sold
at the Clare depot but all from here
escaped unhurt though all were
severely jarred, not to say "scared."
W, L. Adams and C. H. Van Brunt
were in the baggage car, one of the
cars overturned, and while the two
men with them were both injured,
they escaped unhurt. The rest of the
Clare people were In the rear coaches*
All was still immediately after the
shock.   But when those* in the rear
realized that they had escapedi-itijuiy,
lamentations began to -'reed 'the air.
One, rising out of the'mud of the
swamp asked first of all, "Have^ou
seen my hat any place?" while another
asked as to the safety of his thres
dogs. A bicyclist started out to
Cadillac for help but a brakem-an-OK
foot got there first.
ISew suits and a Sunday rifle to
Frankfort free are in prospect for
some of the jarred ones.
