Some Interesting Snap Shots

Judge Person, of Ingham, is not only considerable of a jurist, but a musical composer as well. His latest composition is a march entitled "The Sky Olds Guards."

When the grand jury gets to the McLeod bill it must not forget that the governor had a few strings on that bill himself.

The number and character of local statesmen who were jostling each other to press the hem of Heinrich Christian Schmidt's garment at the Cook house Saturday evening was suggestive of that familiar old melody (or discord) "The Ann Arbor Post-office Bye and Bye."

By this time next year he will be referred to as Mr. Judson, late of Washtenaw, now director of the Michigan Sanitarium at Jackson, for disabled financiers, locksmiths, and others who have temporarily withdrawn from public life. 

Unsophisticated people should not deceive themselves with the notion that Washtenaw's Rough Riders were mustered out when Peace Commission Knowlton's protocol was signed. The present unwonted quiet is due to a brief furlough which Col. Judson's regiment is taking while assimilating the spoilers of victory up to date.

And now Premier Norris refers to a co-ordinate branch of the city government as the "Bored" of Public Works.

Looking backward with a 60-day retrospect, it would seem that Prof. Knowlton's contract is unilateral in some of its conditions. The Rough Riders had the plum crop already harvested; the antis secured by the agreement an unlimited opportunity to shut up and look pleasant.

One who knows "Hank" Smith and his erstwhile haughty exterior cannot but remark the true Christian spirit of meekness and humility with which he has taken up a congressman's burden. Perhaps it is his enforced association with the plain and humble German editor that has accomplished this remarkable change.
