' But the stranger kept talk ing, about Michigan and X didn't want to be impolite. X finally asked him how long he'd been away from Michigan. "Since I was 12,- he said. fLefs see that was-rwell, we came out from Saginaw in the fall of 1896.' "If s a great old state, Michigan is," I said, moving on and think ing he could have the whole of it, since I was bora and : raised in Tennessee, anyway. v..
