Ever since the 8 p.m. closing act has
gone into effect, how lovely it has been.
Just on the dot the buttonsare turned,
the glims are doused, the storekeeper
goes home to rest, and his clerk to see
his best girl. As a result, they all come
to the scratch the next morning ready
to take the bits in their teeth and make
the wheels of business spin. Why
could it not be so every night? Why
make Saturday an exception? Only a
habit, and the accommodation of those
out for a lark, keeps the merchant up
late, after midnight, away from his
family and in many cases prevents
him lrom attending church on hunday
morning.
A curious runaway occurred Wed
nesday at about four o'clock. A horso
owned by Ld. loungs seemed to want
several things and took a "bout" down
Main street. First he seemed to want
medicine and tried to enter the new
drug store, but finding it empty he
tried to get some meat and almost sue
cceded in entering Smith's meat mark
et. In passing along to the jewelry
store Smith's wheel which was leaning
against his window got tangled up in
the gearing and was nearly ruined
The horse finally wound up in Dr.
Clyne a barn, lhe bugcy was demol
ishod. Some echool children who were
passing received sorao narrow escapes.
"Ever go to a chewing gum party?"
asked a traveling man. "(treat sport is
the chewing gum party. Had one out

way they do it: Everyone is given o
stick of cum, a toothpick and a card.
On the card is written the name of some
object may be its the president of the
L mted Mates ana may ne us a uontey
You are to chew the gum until it is
soft enough to mould with a toothpick
Then yon do your best at sculpture
and co ahead with the gum and tooth
nick, making something as nearly like
the original on your card as you can.
When you get your statue or base-relief
built on your card you pass it in and a
set of judges awards the prize for the
best work. Say! why don't they give
chewinggum parties in this pokey hole?'

This is the way to enjoy a Thanks
giving dinner: Get it ready as nearly
as possible the day before, attend the
public service and render tnanks to
your God; don't fret while there about
the dinner; send a generous feast to
the poor; and then sit down to your
own banquet, and our word for it, if it
don't give you an appetite, your case
is hopeless.
Lewis Bow has served notice on
Ilenrv Johnson, tho commissioner of
highways for Brockway township, that
the road extending north and south
between sections 2 and 3, is in a dan
gerous state and unfit for tratic. The
notice states that farm products can
not be marketed in l ale, and many are
damaged by delay caused by having to
unload. It is very bad indeed.
The Werner Company, of Akron,
Ohio, is the largest concern of its kind
in the world. They write us that they
are in position to oiler paying employ
ment to an energetic man or woman in
this county. We would advise those
of our readers, who are in position to
consider a good oiler, to write at once
to "Department K," Tub Werner Com
panv, Akron, Ohio. You must send
good references. (Editor this paper.)
The brick work on John Merrill's
house is done and it will soon be un
der roof. John hasn't made much
noise about his building, but that don't
prevent it from being one of the nicest
residences in Y'ale when complete.
There is more brick and les9 brag in
its outside features, and the absence of
excessive gingerbred fixings takes our
eye. The public own the exterior of
our homes, but the inside is where we
stay and what we will really use.
The members of The Y'ale Expositor
stall bid farewell forever to their old
friend James S. Kennefickwho left for
his native home in Ireland Monday.
Mr. Kennefick is the pioneer surveyor
of this town 34 years ago. Ho has
liyed 20 years in ht. Clair county and
18 in Sanilac, where ho surveyed,
leveled, mapped and profiled 51 miles
of river dredging and 150 miles of main
drains in 14 years. The people of San
ilac presented him with a gold watch
and chain on the eve of his departure
from there, and tho band serenaded
him at his hotel. J.S. KenneficK has
been county surveyor of this county,
having been elected first in 18GG, and
City Engineer of Port Huron under
Mayor lioynton; commencing in 18".
He moved to Sanilac in 18S2. Mr.
Kennefick contributed in prose and
poetry all those long years to the press
ot Eastern Michigan and occasionally
to the press of Canada, and he respect
fully notifies his countless friends in
St. Clair and Sanilac counties whero
he has lived about 37 years that he will
carry with him to his native homo in
Ireland a kind remembrance of old
friends, eepecially Yale, where a fine
llourehing street is named for him
Kennehck street. A delegation of his
friends were at tho depot to see him
oil. Farewell! Jame9 S., Farewell! May
your lourney to your old home bo one
round of uninterrupted pleasure, and
that you will enjoy many happy years
yet to come in the land of your birth.

The large barns of the Cannis estate,
3 miles north of Capac, burned on last
Wednesday morning. Five horses, six
cows, one-hundred-and-nfty tons hay,
fifteen hundred bushels of grain, three
buggies, two cutters, three sets of har
ness, one thrasher, haypress, binder,
mower and other impliments were de
stroyed. Estimated loss $5,000; insu

deed of an unknown incendiary.

We feel like making an apology.
Our conscience smites us like a trip
hammer no, ours is too small for that
comparison to suit so we will only say
it picks us like a pin. But we did say
mean things about the open winter
prophets in our last edition, and wo
take it all back in this issue. Such fine
days as we have had since are astonish
ing and must be due to these open
winter seers and we humbly beg their
pardon.
There is one thing this administra
tion must do to retain our solid sup
port. Perhaps there are two. for we
would like the powers that be to tako
care of the Utah congresman and his
numerous wives. But we have one ab
solute condition, otherwise we're sour.
Wo must have a law passed making it
sure death for any man to get up a
new "rigamajig"for"pantaloon suspen
ders. Each new pair wo get has a new
kink in the buckles, and it takes us
months to learn the combination.
It will not bo a surprise to any who
are at all familiar with the good qual
ities of Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy,
to know that people everywhere take
pleasure in relating their experience
in tho use of that splendid medicine
and in telling of tho benefits they have
received from it, of bad colds it has
cured, of threatened attacks of pneu
monia it has averted and of the child
ren it has savod from attacks of croup
and whooping cough. It is a grand,
good medicine. For salo by Staley &
McKeith.
Lookout for a change of weather and
then look into your coal bin and figure
out the cost of your winter's fuel. Fig
ures won't lie. If you find it to be a
dead sure thing that between the coal
combine and away below zero open
winter, you are sure to be a stiti before
spring anyway, don't prolong the ag
ony. Hang yourself this fall ere the
ground is frozen and the graye digger
must die in his eflorts to properly plant
you. besides all this, you will get rid
of kindling fires all winter, and your
wife can lay aside her widow's weeds
in time to procure your successor ere
spring work begins.
Wednesday's morning papers told of
the death of Vice President Hobart at
his home in New Jersey. He has for
a long time been a sufferer from kid
ney trouble, but not until the past few
months has the disease assumed an
alarming form. For many weeks the
whole nation has eagerly read the dis
patches which told his state. Mr. Ho
bart was a clean and upright politician,
and as a man had many warm personal
friends. His noble lite had won him
a sure place in the national heart. By
his death the office he held has become
vacant, and if Mckinley should die,
the Secretary of State would be Presi
dent until the next inauguration day.
The year 1900 will not, as many sun-
pose, be a leap year. The cause of
this seemingly singular happening is
due to tne lact that each year does not
contain 3651 days as is generally stated
but only 3G2 days, 5 hours, 43 minutes
and 49.7 seconds. In a century there
are 24 days, 5 hours, 22 minutes and 50
seconds more than there would be if
each year contained 4G3 days exactly.
This makes 24 leap years during one
century instead of 25 as is generally
beiieveu. inercrore only such century
years that are divisible by 400 are leap
years, or only when the hours, minutes
and seconds remaining over from one
century to another amount to one day.
The last century year that was a leap
year was the year 1C00.

Fox & Hounds,
As a firm Fox & Bounds do not
need a write-up in order to be known.
We are, however, glad to point out the
stout "Bounds" in the ladder of their
successful climbing.
The firm is composed of George Fox
and Charles Bounds, and has been so
constituted for years. In addition to
his interest here, Mr. Fox owns a like
plant in Mayville. Hut we are most
concerned with the "Bound" end of
the firm and the manager of the Yale
plant. From the time of purchase, Jan.
1, lS'JS, they have had the full trust and
patronage of its constituents. A boy
once said that it might have been bet
ter had he chosen a different father at
the start; and he regretted not having
done so. This firm were fortunate in
choosing A. W. Ferguson as their pred
ecessor, and they found the exception
to the rule in the good "Sandy" foun
dation to build on.
Experience ha3 fitted Mr. Bounds for
his place. Ere enterinc mercantile life
he was twelye years a builder and has
spread mortar and hewed stone many
a long day. This enables him to know
the needs and help his patrons buy to
their advantage. The firm's storo is
full of hardware of all kinds, from top
to bottom and bulging out on all sides.
And Oh dear me! Won't some one
stop that awful poetry machine? Cant?
Well, then, let her go for this time, but
don't you never dare to wind it up
again.
They've stoves the hest that's to be found,
All warranted uml. Unlit and sound;
And should wives bo ill or on the shelves,
Just cut the wood, they'll cook themselves.
Their heaters are best and can't be beat
In lutecs or styles, and all that's neat.
Their ueiieral stock is riuht down to date;
And the ju ices are awfully hard to mate.
Lest ou 1 1 i ; i v wander and miss tne place,

And it lie's not a pointer ami Kuide complete,
He has at hand a slick Jim Sweet;
And if his isn't beauty of tho rluht stamp,
He'll go vou belter In one VanCainp.
Their workmen are as od as is in the land.
And what thev do Is quite sure to stand;
lie it tinning, plumbing, ora pump in tho well;
They'll do it better than we've time to tell.
