Richard Kearns, of Arm Arbor, has been appointed to hang up on a high stool, as cashier in the revenue office at Detroit, at a salary of $1,500. The Grass Lake News warns Theodore Thomas that he needn't come to Grass Lake with his chorus of 200 voices unless he can beat time vvith a milk can. He can. The buffalo bug is swallowing carpets at Saline. The hide 1 f this beetle will not make buffalo robes, although, viewed under the microscope, the animal has a shaggy coat of long hair. The University Vrinkle,condemns co-education as a hindrance to athletic interests. If the Wrinkle knew what it was talking about, it would know that co-education strengthens the muscles of the arms. There is no A. P. A. ostracisms in the make up of an Ypsilanti base ball team, as the catcher is Father Kennedy of St. John's Catholic church. His reverence plays with dignity, also with a mask, but without profanity, even when apitcher's wild "inshoot" curves around his shins, or the umpire won't confess to poor judgment. He lines a balito second with gospel accuracy and when his bat smashes the ball, he softly exclaims '■'dominas vobiscum" and darts for fust. It's the only nonswearing base ball club in America. A man was walking through the deep snow when he heard the voice of his oldest son, saying, 'Til step in father's tracks." He was trying to do it, and two younger brothers were at the same thing. The father wisely said: "If I lead my sons thus, I'll make tracks for heaven." - Ypsilantian. Where did this happen - in Ypsilanti? We do not doubt our valued contemporary in the least, - still, we rather see the tracks. Wild geese have colonized at Dinckney. Populist Peters might ïow get an audience there. - Adrián Dress. Whist! Don't mention it! You'd scare the game! - Ann Arbor Courier. Let the guilty punster be pelted o death with Milan Leader hailtones. The Press is gratified to learn rom the Argus that the organizaion of a humane society at Ann Ar)or is assured, and trusts that its operation will prevent not only cruelty to animáis by men but by each other. The republican congressional candidates are in a fight. It was 38 minutes, not 28 as the types made us say last week, in which the gray team made the ruu to the Ypsilanti fire. - Ann Arbor Democrat. Bother the odds of ten minutes. Said the good deacon: "My old mare can go a mile in three minutes - or within a blessed few seconds of it." The female minstrel show by local talent at Ypsilanti, Tuesday evening, made a number of decided hits. The "gags" were fine, the "end women" witty, and the clogging capital. Only one accident marred the symmetry of the performance; that was when the right hand "end woraan" leaped high from her chair andsat down on her tamborine with a crackling noise that some mistook for the collapse of her liverpad. Practice, however, will cure all such mistakes. The Ann Arbor Democrat's "Lady About Town" is justly disgusted at the dirty chewers who "fire" upon the sidewalk pestilent puddles that would kill a rattlesnake, and wonders why the health officer allows it. Perhaps he "chaws." Another thing that puzzles this keen-sighted lady, is, - "why professional men have dropped into the habit of standing on the street, talking to a friend, with their hands behind them, under their coat skirts. ' ' We have noticed the same thing, and have given the subject much careful thought. It is probable, however, that in such cases, the "galluses" have given way. It looks just like it. It is a most undignified attitude, and no gentleman, either.
