There is no village in Michigan which has more farmers teams tied on its streets than Chelsea. It makes the few Grass -Lake men who have energy enough to visit a neighboring town turn green with envy. One strayed into Chelsea the other day and felt so sore over the contrast with his native dreariness, that the Grass Lake News gives went to its woe as follows:

Charlie LaFollette, traveler for a big Cleveland fur house, was in Chelsea one day last week and he informed us that the only teams he saw on the streets during the afternoon were a pair of steers hitched to a two-wheeled cart. and a mule and a cow yoked together and pulling an old sled. loaded with pumpkins which the barefooted driver was peddling from door to door.
Charlie says he saw at one business entrance a placard which read: " No more woodchucks taken on subscription unless skinned and the stuffing removed." He also saw indications which forced the conclusion that flipping coppers and trading jack knives were the chief industries of the town. Of course, selling furs in a grave yard was out of the question, although Charlie did dispose of a "woman's cloak," as he called it, made of the hide of a Galloway bull, and the parts of which, instead of being sewed together, were attached by means of copper washers and rivets.
Charlie told the purchaser, a village official, that that style of manufacture was the latest thing out, and there can be no doubt of it. The delighted official protested that it "would suit down at the house," especially as it was "genuine seal."
Charlie, who is a phenomenon of truthfulness, disabused the buyer's mind on that point, assuring him that it was not seal but the fur of that rare and almost extinct animal, the bush-tailed whangdoodle. He explained further that this remarkable creature had to be killed while mourning for its young, or its fur wouldn't be worth shucks. The sadness of the dolorous beast in the opinion of scientists, Charlie further explained, gave to its coat a fine lustre and to its skin pliability.
Charlie, we will add, was amused at one peculiarity of the business men of Chelsea. He found, without an exception, that they parted the hair of the butter they sold in the middle.
