Horsi tradfs liavo I icon reMjionsUile for a trrt at deal of trouble in this world in the past and perhaps will continue to do so in the future. A lawsuit which -took place in Justice Laphain's Court last Saturday was the outcome of one. Some months a;o it seems that Frank (Jordon, a farmer resident of the township of Kaston of rood repute and standing sold a nar to lalward Purler of this city in con sideration of in cash of the realm, dul3' paid. The horse was a very good looker but after possessing the ani mal for a time Porter found it had a verj' serious defect ami lie be came very sore as he thought it over. He finally begun suit against (lordon claiming misrepresentation had lieen used to cll'cct the sale. The case was tried as aforesaid Sat urday before a jury and their verdict was that Mr. Porter was entitled to and should receive as da ma ires. Eighteen witnesses were sworn and put on the stand to tell what they knewalHjut it, and I. L. Hublell, city and .lames Scully of Ionia were attor neys for (lordon while Mr. McHride of (Jrand Kapids and II. L. VanPen schoten. city, represented Porter. (Jordon has appealed the case to the circuit court, and as is usual in law uits it will pretty certainly cost loth ides the price of several such horses before the affair is ended. Porter became so worked up over the case Saturday that he could not resist going- to mcent s store Satur day evening and "throwing it into" the Vincents, a he claimed they had been making some remarks deroga tory to himself. As a result of this little diversion .Justice Moulton is sued a warrant charging him with the use of vulgar and obscene language in the presence of women and child ren, lie paid a lineandcosts amount ing' to $1. :$.". Learn to be Methodical. Every man or woman who has amounted to much has Jieen distin guished early by a. power to work hard. (Jenius alternates periods of frantic application with spells of idleness in wiiich pent i'orccs recover tone ; but talent proceeds more steadily and moothly. Its rests are regular and its work more methodical. Without method it is lost, and I believe there is no more certain sign of superior ability in a child than an innate ten dency to methodize his labors and the disposal of his time. In order to bring to frutition an' germ of this healthy and beautiful faculty teach the little one from his earliest years to lie reg ular in all his habits; not merely to have a place for his lielongings. but a pecial hour for special duties. En courage him to regulate his life in ac cordance with rules which he himself has chosen. Let him experiment and find out the defects of his system, that he may reform itcontinually, until he has arranged one that can stand. Florence Hull Winterburn in the July Woman's Home Companion. (leaner Picnic, slay ton Lake, Auk. 7. A big picnic is advertised to be held at Slaytoti Lake, one and one-half miles southeast of Orattan Centre on Wednesday, Aug". 7th under the aus pices of the local Arlnirs of the A. O. O.

Interest in the two hundredth an niversary of the landing of Cadillac at Detroit has grown to enormous proportions and the three days of the celebration are so filled in with inter esting events that each day seems better than the other, to use a famil iar "bull". There will lie a lot of historic interest in following the lloatilla of Cadillac and nis adventur ous band down the river to the land ing at I la nihil ph St. There will lie as much in the uaradc of nations the next day when each of the twenty-one nationalities or races Is to show its progress front two centuries ago un til today, ft is generally conceded, however, that the Flower Day parade and the night pageant on the 2(ith of July will be the grandest feature of all and those who have liecn per mitted to see the floats, which will then traverse the streets of the city, on railway trucks, say they will com pel the admiration of every one.

It seems Greenville is also agitat ing- the question of sewers, and a pe tition is being circulated asking the city council to submit to a vote of the taxpayers a proposition to Inind the ty for :)(,ooo to construct the same. This would not be a very healthy place for tramps to strike with their stories about not being able to find work. Help was that scarce last week and the demand so urgent that $2.00 per day w as paid for common la in) r. When a pretty girl pins a flower on a young man's coat, she always tilts her chin up and takes a look at it sideways and the fellow who doesn't tumble then had liettcr stay in doors when a funeral is passing" for fear of lieing run over by the hearse. The Pere Marquette car shops has turned out a photographer's car, which is a coach equipped with a com plete photographer's outfit to be used in getting' views along the company's lines and resorts for advertising pur poses.

Alii c Ellis, a Lake Odessa boy with high rope-walking ambitions, fell a distance of .'l." feet, striking on a stone pavement, seriously injuring himself. He was doing a stunt on a high wire stretched across Main street when a pully holding the wire broke. Though he is new at the business he threatens to try it again. The Niles Sun has received the fol lowing interesting letter and is doing all that it can to comply with the re quest therein contained: ''If my wife writ eny stuf to you in regard to a young Ladie in yeur city do not writ her up in yeur paper as the Ladie will bring slander and damages against you if you do so as there is no need of my wife leing jlous of that Ladie as that young Ladie is all right and a perfect Ladie. Peter Loftus, a well known North Plains farmer, was brought to the city Monday by a brother and Supervisor Cowman and adjudged insane by Judge of Probate Welister, who issued an order of admission to Traverse Citv asylum. This case is one of unusual sadness and probabably hereditary, as the mother of the unfortunate man was in a similar condition for prob ably years. Ionia Sentinel. Stephen S. Curwin, a Pere Mar quette brakeman, was killed at Hughs crossing, a little way from Me: costa, July 11th. He was standing on the rear end of a liox car when the train jerked, and he fell backwards onto a Mat car, killing him instantly. Curwin had lived in Ionia for the past year with his brother, who was a Pere Marquette conductor. He was en gaged to be married Sunday to a young lady from Lowell. Detroit Tribune: John Murphy, alias Griflin, arrested Sunday as a sus pect by Patrolman Golden, was yes terday turned over to the sheriff of Ionia county. Murphy Is wanted for the alleged breaking and entering of house near Stanton, Mich. The man supposed to have lieen his part ner in the job was sent up for 15 years. It is claimed that the United States authorities also desire to get Murphy on suspicion of his having been impli cated in some jobs at Saranac and Grand Ledge. Murphy was registered at headquarter as a lalnirer, 21 years of age. A Common Heuoe llullng. Postmaster General Smith ha at Inst concluded to make an effort to to put the postal department on a business basis, and to exercise com mon sense in interpreting the laws as they appear on the statute books. Nobody supposed when congress en acted the law by which newspapers and periodicals are Bent through the mails at pound rates that the law could by any possible hiok or crook le made to include complete novels issued in liook form. For years how ever, such books, each one complete in itself, have been transmitted at pound rates, simply because the pub lishers made it their practice to issue one every month. A multitude of ad vertising sheets, sent out gratuitous ly, have also lieen granted the privi ledge, and it has come about that the transmission of such matter consti tutes the bigger part of the business of the department. Every pound of such matter is carried at a loss, and it is the volume of this business that creates the annual deficit. Mr. Smith has determined to bar the nivels and the purely advertising' sheets, and to carry out the statute in the spirit in w hich it was undoubtedly passed. No legitimate enterprise entitled to the favor of the government will be affected by his ruling, and in all prob ability it w ill place the department on a self sustaining' basis. CoimroHHiiiaii smith Active. A Washington dispatch under date of July 12th to the Grand Kapids Her ald says: Congressman William Al den Smith came over from New York this morning' and took the postotllee department by storm, . He got a fine clerkship for one of his constituents in the rural free delivery and secured tvr'A free dvliery for the farmers in many parts of liis district. Three new routes were ordered es tablished immediately out of lielding, one out of Sparta, one out of Cedar Springs, Sand Lake, Ilockford, liyron Centre, two out of Conklin, one from Jenison, two from Caledonia, one from aranac, and all other petitions that .have lieen delayed will receive im taediate attention. Congressman Smith also to up the I ucft'on -of tar eoutecfor Hlewa, Ionia county; Wright, Ottawa county and Cascade Springs. He hopes to increase mail facilities at all these points. It' a Pretty Warm World. This has been a warm world for the last few weeks. The universality of this summer's heated term is some thing quite remarkable, and is in fact really unique, during that period, at least, of which we have any general meteorological record. Not only has an unusually high tem perature been prevalent over a much larger space on this continent than has heretofore been experienced at any given time, but in other parts of the world great heat has been felt dur ing this same period. Many parts of Kurope which rarely feel a high tem perature have suffered seriously. Ow ing to the different atmospheric con ditions, and the fact that intense heat is almost never known through out Europe, a temperature of ninety to a hundred, Fahrenheit, is likely to lie as disastrous there as ten degrees higher would be here. One More Suicide for Ionia Co. Mrs. II. D. Stale-, one of the oldest and most respected inhabitants of Muir, shot herself Tuesday morning and will probably die. The ball en tered near the heart and passed en tirely through her body. She has been In failing health for some time and it is possible that she committed the rash deed while par tially deranged as a result of sickness. She is 73 years of age. The tragedy has created a profound sensation in that community where she was widely known. The track-layers on the Greenville Stanton short line railroad have reached the Churchill school house in Montcalm. Work Is not making as much progress as is desired because of the dlfliculty of keeping men and horses. The hot weather has caused many men and teams to quit work. Greenville Independent.
