Believes In His Own Country

"Talk about California," said a well known citizen to the writer last evening, "just come with me for a moment and let me show yon what lnxuries in the way of fruit we have right here in Michigan. Fruit is so common that our people do not appreciate what 1 liey do have." He lead the way, and we follovved hint to a well known grocery store, and he remarked "now look at that ! Is not that simply wonderful?" Before our visión were cherries in several varieties, blackberries, black red and yellow raspberries, currants whortleberries, aooseberries, straw berries, all nice, all home grown Michi gan fruit, and all reasonable in price. Then there were also tropical anc semi-tropical fruits, in plenty, such a bannanas, oranges, lemons, apricot and pineapples. "Now why do our people talk abou going to California or any other countr tolive? I do not believe that there is another state in the Union where such an abundant supply of so many different kinds of fruit are to be had. "It will be only a few weeks before plums, pears, apples, quinces, grapes, peaches etc, will be in market in abundance, and at prices within reach of the masses. Don't you think we ought to satisfied?" was asked. And we at once adinitted that we were never yetout of Michigan without being homesick to get back.
