B.C., T mortgaged my farm for a hoss—that hogs was the ruin of me. That hoss has a tale runnin’ back, somewhat out into the’ past, A hoss with a record, that I ponelane: re- markably fast; If you figure as fast. how ahoss can a farm- er bring down, .« Who, rather than work on his farm, would idle his time in the town. I was getting on tol’ably well, the farm was payin’ its way, , Improvin’, somewhat, and had but a few obligations to pay. Too well, I guess, I was doin’, when a notion came into my head, Runnin’ suthin’ like this—like this to my- self, that it said: * “Than neighbors I’m now better off--what hinders our puttin’ on style? TPllhire a man for the farm and take it easy a while. Susan and I,in our earriage, there isn’t a chance for a doubt, Could wake the envy of Smiths whenever we chose to go out. “Tl hire an even.three hundred, at ten per cent, for three years, And cancel the same with the sale of the hogs and the crops and the steers.’ Such wasthe way that I reasoned—this the way I came out: I mortgaged the farm and was soon in the small end of the spout. I got three hundred of Jones, the carriage -from Wiggins & Brown; Reckon ’twas the handsomest thing that ever came to the town, Reckon my neighbors looked glum as me and Susan rode past, And many an envious look, unconsciously on us they cast. And something in town every. day, by habit, was needin’ us there, And nothin’ at home but we left with a dis- interested person for care; And the mere that we saw of the town, the more of its fashions we bought, And, tryin’ to keep up the show, got a great deal more than we ought. We noticed that we needed new clothes, of a rich and costlier stuff— What suited first-rate on the farm in town was despicably rough; We noticed that thingsin the house, which before had answered quite well, Were rather old-fashioned, while Sharp had new and better to sell; To buy, we hadn’t the cash, but credit was good at his store, Though holding our note, he was willing to make it still more. x So time went hurrying on, but things on the farm went slow, Drouth didn’t fatten the steers, and crops unplanted won’t grow. A man at twenty a month didn’t lay awake through the night To study on what was the best to make things even out right. As ’twixt Labor and Work, in the race, Work was alittle behind, — cs And forced me to sell, now and then, a fat steer, the balance to find. So things kept running..to ruin, and Jones foreclosed on the farm Before I aroused to the danger, before I had taken alarm. At the sale, ’twas bidin on the debt, and to go had Susanand I; An experience that with us will stay, I trust, to the day that we die. Together the farm and our friends siipped out and bade ws good day, And we are owing debts to this time that I guess we never can pay. Yes, sir; I once owned a hoss and can give you points if you choose; Stick to the oxen and farm and nor and you seldom will loge. Go to town, if you must, when there’s suth- in’ uncemmon to see, But, remember, that hoss was the ruin of Su- san.and me! M. J. ae Oe “REVENGE IS SWEET.” Written Especially for THE TRADESMAN. “I listened to one of the saddest and most heart-rending stories it was ever my lot to hear, last week,” said an old friend to me the other day, as together we were making a short trip—he on his regular route and I happening to have business in the same di- rection. gil “It was down in Macomb county, at a lit- tle place called Utica. I got in there late on Saturday night and, of course, could do no business until Mgnday. Sunday was a beautiful day. Sleighing was excellent and the sun shone out brightly and warm. Af- ter writing two or threeyletters in the morn- ing, Lasked the landlord—an old school | friend, by the way—if he wouldn’t like to take a little drive, to pass away the time. He assented at once, and ina short time we were gaily flying along behind a trim little nag, who could show his heels to” Everyone on the road. : ‘AS we reached a a cross street on the edge of the village, a funeral procession, was ex- tending its dreary length across the street on. which we were. driving and we were compelled to await ius passage. rN IE the: uneonseious ny in that ‘box ey and as” sharp, negtect, eritelby ‘an! ‘total depute that could be imagined. ee “IT was immediately fired with curiosity to know the details of that which promised such an insight into the baser portion of hu- man nature, and I pressed the landlord to give me the particulars. ‘* It is a long, pathetic story, and needs the pen of a skillful word painter to repro- duce upon paper such a picture,’ responded he. ‘However, I will relate it to you, and should you become wearied remember you ‘urged me.’ ‘* ‘Highteen years ago last: January, as you will remember, you and. I had complet- ed our studies as far as we intended pursu- ing knowledge, and I returned tothis town, which has always been my home. My fath- er, at that time, was not over-abundantly supplied with temporal wealth, and on my return home I secured a position as clerk for George Simmons, who kept a dry goods store at that time. I make these prefatory remarks in order that you may better under- stand how it occurs that [am so intimately acquainted with the more minute details of the affair.’ ** ‘} had worked for Simmons nearly two months when, one cold, blustering day in March, a woman entered the store, carrying in her arms a child. She made purchases of several dollars’ worth of dry goods— dress patterns and trimmings—and, when she had completed her list, put her hand in her pocket for her purse.’ “ * “I must have left my purse at home,” said she, after searching several times through the different pockets in her dress and the small satchel she carried in her hand. ‘Have you any objections to my leaving my baby here while I get it? My little girl has gone to sleep and I am afraid to take her out into the cold air until she awakes, as she is just recovering from a se- vere cold.” ’ ** “As she was a very. respectable appear- ing woman, and, during the conversation in making the purchases had casually remark- ed that she was a new-comer in the village, I made no objecticn to the arrangement. A couple of chairs were put together near the stove, some blankets placed thereon and the baby—a girl, about three months old, asI then judged—was snugly tucked up, and the woman immediately left the store.’ ** ‘She never returned. -As the moments grew into hours and the dreary March day was fast dying out, I became somewhat alarmed at the mother’s non-appearance. Up to this time, the babe had slept peace- fully; but now she awoke and commenced urging, as only young infants can urge, for nourishment. I was ina quandary. I did not like to tell Simmons—who had notbeen in the store that afternoon—of the pay which I had received for the goods which the woman had taken with her when she went for her purse, as I was afraid of the ridicule I very well knew he would heap up- on my unlucky head when he discovered that I had been victimized—for I had ar- rived at the conclusion that the woman had intended leaving the child when she entered the store and that the loss of her purse was simply a part of the plan.’ : ‘* *But the young lady by the stove was now making such a horrible row that I must do something, anu, during the height of the noise, Simmons came in, together with his wife.’ “s<**What have you got back there, Jack?” asked Simmons, in surprise, as the wails of the little girl grew louder and louder. ‘‘Have you turned the store into an orphan asy- lum?” and he commenced to laugh,. while Mrs. Simmons took the youngster in her arms and soon had it quieted. In answer to their repeated ejaculations of surprise and inquiry, I blurted out the whole story of woman’s duplicity and man’s gullibility.’ ‘* ‘Mrs. Simmons was at once eager to adopt the little waif. After five years of married life they were still without off- spring, and Simmons, as well as_ his wife, were very fond of children.’ ‘* ‘After considerable discussion, Sim- mons and his wife decided to keep the child, at least until claimed by its mother, and, in the event of her not returning, to retain it permanently and legally adopt it.’ ‘* ‘The child thrived, while the months. rolled around completing a year and it was still unclaimed. Simmons and his wife took the legal steps necessary to make the child theirs by adoption, and as she grew up and developed into a beautiful girl, she was educated and cared for fully as well, if not better than their own daughter could have been, had fortune sent them one.’ ‘© ‘When Ida Simmons, as she was called, had arrived at the age of seventeen—about a year: ago—Simmons employed a young man as clerk in the store, which he still ‘owned, who came from’ Detroit well recem- mended by 66 “Will, former ‘employers.’ smund was a handsome lad, | aheewa and industrious ; a} happy - as larks, . \preparing for th event. Young Osmund immediatel menced the ereetion of a eage for. his bird while the bird was as busy as possible n the labor of her wedding outfit.’ Ue Mee ** ‘No fairer day could have been made~ expressly to order on which to launch the young couple on the journey of life in the © harness of wedlock. The sun shone as _ brightly as it does to-day, and the populari- ty of the young couple drew forth a large congregation at the church to witness the ceremony. As the minister pronounced the — couple man and wife, a telegram was hand- ed Mr. Simmons, who had just given away his adopted daughter. it and, as his eyes glanced hurriedly over the lines, his face turned white and_ his hands trembled with agitation. He quickly called the minister aside and gave him the telegram. . It read as follows: “ce “Will Osmund, who is your adopted. daughter’s husband, is her brother as well. Letter will follow explanatory. JANE OSMUND.”? “* ‘The telegram was dated, ‘Detroit, Feb. 15,.1887, 10:30 a. m.”—-just ‘the time at which the wedding party had approached the altar. The scene which followed its-re- ceipt beggars description. Young Osmund was nearly crazy, while Ida gave away utter-. ly and was carried to her father’s house. ‘« ‘The letter mentioned in the telesrann . arrived in the evening mail, and in it was. contained a history of deceit, treachery and’ vindictiveness such as I hope may never be my lot to hear again.’ ** ‘Jane Osmund, the writer thereof, had’ met a man in her youth who had made pas-. sionate love to her and won her affection and trust in return. It was the old story— a mock ceremony, a few months of bliss, and then desertion. Nochildren had fol— lowed the union, and she had supported herself by hard work—keeping herself post- ed as to her betrayer’s actions and retaining the name he did not give her.’ ** ‘One year after the villain made her an outcast in the world and left her to shift for herself, he married a wealthy heiress in Detroit. A daughter was the first child of this marriage, and one day while the nurse was giving it an airing she left it alone for’ a moment and when she returned the infant: had disappeared. Search was made every— where, rewards offered and the best detec- tives employed, but all to no purpose.’ The child was irrecoverably lost and, as the months passed, a boy was born to. the be- reaved parents, relieving, to a certain ex- tent, the grief of the parents over the loss of the girl. As the years passed, Osmund, senior, ventured ,into speculation, became ruined, and the boy, Will, was compelled to. work for his livelihocd. His mother was dead and, about two years before Will came to Utica, his father had foHowed her, leay- ing him alone in the world.’ ** ‘Jane Osmund, as she said in the letter, had stolen the girl and placed her in the Simmons family in the ingenious way you have heard, and had kept track of her ail these years. When shelearned of the vacan- cy inSimmons’ store she managed to let young Osmund know of it, hoping that ha would like the situation and thus be thrown in the society of the girl where, she k new, the natural affection of brother and. sister would attract them toward each other. She hoped, she wrote, that the young folks might think this affection love and ‘thereby wed, when her cup of revenge would be full. Her plan had sueceede od —better, ai- most, than she had hoped, and now she could die in peace, knowing that her de- ceiver’s children would suffer for their fath- er’s crime.’ “+ * “As soon as I complete this letter,” she wrote, in conclusion, ‘‘I,shall, as I have long wished, be dead. But T could not. die’ until my revenge was complete, and Lhave worked and waited for years to see its ful- fillment. Icould have spoken the word which would have saved you all this mis- ery, but I would sooner have eut out my tongue. Isend, herewith, proofs whieh no one can doubt as to the truth of what I write. You can verify them by the records in Detroit.” ’ ‘* ¢ “7 sign my name for the last time on earth. JANE OsSMUND.”” ** ‘The Detroit papers of the next day told of the suicide of a noted member of - the demi monde of that city, knownas Jane Osmund, and that is the last we ever heard of her. "The young bgjidegroom was found, the morning after the wedding, . lying stretched in his own blood on the floor of - his room, having shot himself. Ida lay in a sort of stupor until last’ Friday, and then passed quietly away from the miseries and heart-aches of life. just passed, is the last drop in the cup of that woman’s revenge.’ ‘‘As we drove silently back to the. hotel, i was compelled to brush away the moisture. | which would come to my eyes in spite of my thirty-seven years of manhood; and 1 hope I may never meet another ‘funeral while driving for eee.

The membership of the Association now numbers 135, and ap- plications are coming in right along. The businéss men of the city are better pleased with the Association the more they become acquainted with the method it provides for weeding out dead beats in the community. A Dorr correspondent writes: ‘“The Dorr B. M. A. will hold the next meeting on Wednesday, March 8, at 11 o’clock, a. m. and at noon our business men will furnish ‘all the members of the Association -with a good dinner at Joseph Neuman’s hotel, got- ten up especially for the occasion. . Every member is requested to be on hand prompt- ly at 11 o’clock, as busine:s of importance will be transacted.” The Insurance Committee of the Michi- gan Business Men’s Association has engag- ed Hon. N. A. Fletcher, of Grand Rapids, to represent the M. B. M. A. at the hearing at Lansing on May 3 of the Commission having in preparation a standard fire insur- ance policy. The selection seems to THE TRADESMAN to be peculiarly appropriate, as Mr. Fletcher has made a careful study of the insurance business, the Cole anti-com- pact bill having been originated and pri- marily championed by him. P. 8. Swarts, Secretary of the Fennville B. M. A., writes as follows: ‘‘We have started the project of putting in roller pro- cess in the grist mill here and making it a paying institution and a decided help to our town. The mill, as it now is, is a dead property. The scheme originated in our Association and is wholly pushéd by it, and if achieved (which is now very likely), will be at least one bright feather for the plum- age of our Association.. 1 can say we haye a good, working, live organization.” Charlotte Republican: There has been a great deal of dissatisfaction expressed by reason of the council having charged the Business Men’s Association $50 per year for the use of the council rooms in the court house. This feeling by no means exists among the members of the Association alone. Many outsiders have openly and emphatically expressed the opinion that, in- asmuch as the Association is a public or- ganization, devoted to the up-building of the city, its rent should*be givenfree. Itis certainly true that this item ef $50 a year ‘would bea helpful addition to the relief fund of the Association if it could be turned to this end instead of being used for paying rent. Furthermore, the Association has few meetings, so that, on the whole, it is a pretty extravagant price. oe Oo The Sawdust Association Booming. From the Muskegon Business Gazette. At a special meeting of the B. M. A., held on Feb. 28, a: communication from the- Rifenburg Milling Co. was read, in regard to moving their mill from Charlevoix to this place, as they re- quire better transportation facilities than their present location affords. The capacity of the mill is 100 barrels of flour per day—full roller process. They want a site on the lake ] front to enable them to use both rail and wa- ter transportation. Referred to Committee on Manufactures, to get a definite proposi- tion from the firm. Proposition received from J. C. Clapp, manufacturer of overalls, etc., making an of- fer to locate here. He employs, at present, seventeen hands, has an increasing trade, and wants better facilities than he now has to reach his northern customers. Referred to Committee on Manufactures, to look over Mr. C.’s pent and business, ani report on his proposition at the regular meeting, March 13. A communication was received from the Sheffield Velocipede Car Co., of Three Rivers, stating that they had decided to remain at | their present location. — The meeting was the largest ever held by the Association, and it is hoped that. all the mem- bers will respond to-roil-call on Tuesday even- ing, March 13—date ot next regular meeting.

O_O oo The Warfare on Trusts. The newspapers are full of ‘‘trdsts” these days. Their news columns and _ editorial pages teem with references to these very peculiar institutions, and where there is opinion or. coloring the sentiment is hostile tothem. The signs point to an uprising on the subject. It ix taking the form of a grand popular protest against the existence of com binations of capital to corner or forestall the market for any article or commodity that is in general use—combinations without the pale of and above and beyond the law, yet enjoying the protection of the law and of the courts. ‘This position that the trusts seek to maintain themselves in is univers- ally held to be untenable by everybody not interested in their success, and the drift of opinion seems to be clearly in the direction of their legislative regulation. —_— Oo Bank Notes. After May 1, 1889, and for a period of fif- teen years, the People’s ‘Savings Bank of Detroit will occupy the present quarters of the American Express Co. in the Moffat block. The bank will pay $7,000 a year rent. Ten shares of the stock of the Chemical National Bank were sold on the New York Stock Exchange on the 2d, at $3,600 a share, This was without the bi-monthly dividend of 25 per cent., and is said to be the highest price ever paid for this high- priced stock. The last previous sale of Chemical Bank stock was in January last for $3,575. For along time the dividends have been at the rate of 15 per cent. bi- monthly, with an additional dividend of 10 per cent., making the dividend 100 per cent. per annum. On March 1, a bi-month- ly dividend of 25 per cent., or 150 per cent. &@ year, was declared. Last year the bank paid out $300,000 in dividends, besides car- rying'a surplus of twice that amount. —_———»2.2 2a ____ The Hardware Market.

Money will be depos- ited in the bank for that purpose. i —- > — The Cheese Outlook. Fred E. Angell, who has sold Lenawee county. cheese—and the product of a dozen other counties labeled ‘‘Lenawee”—for sev- ; eral years past, gives his views on the cheese - prospects for 1888 as follows: “J have made thorough inquiries oe the condition of the cheese market and the prospects for the opening of the season, and ‘find the outlook far from satisfactory. While the factorymen are practically bare of stock, the jobbing trade of the State is fair- dy well: loaded up and the retail trade holds a larger amount of stock than ever known before. This condition was brought about by the rapid advanee ‘sustained in the fall and a consequent Speculative tendency on the part of the retailer. We shall not be ‘@ble to begin operations on a bare market,. as we did a year ago. The moral ‘for the _ manufacturer i is to make just as few hay _ cheese. as 8 possible.” fe ee ee ee * The Wayland Cheese Factory. From the Wayland Globe.

Shutting Off a Manistee Cutter. H. B. Larsen, ‘the Manistee dry . goods _ dealer, handles a few patent medicines and cuts prices below liying limits. A short time ago, some druggist in the county so informed one manufacturer, H. H. Warner & Co., who wrote in reply that the cutting must stop; that the wholesale drug houses of Milwaukee and Chicago, from whom Larsen obtains his supplies, would be re- quested not to sell him; that Mr. Larsen would be appealed to personally to put prices up to those made by the manufactur- 4. ers... This last.letter Mr. Larsen published . in a conspicuous manner in one of the Man- istee papers, a copy ot which was forward- ed Mr. Wanrer. Such a mercenary treat- ment of private correspondence so angered the writer that he has notified the jobbing trade in the cities above referred to that Mr. _ ~ Larsen must be cut off from the source of supplies.
