Northern Michigan.

Mr.. Wm. i. Webber, in an essay on
''The Destiny Of Northern Michigan.
says :-"An erroneous idea is entertained
by many concerning the character of the
soil on which the pine is found. In some
cases the pine grows intermixed with
hard wood, or i'm clumps surrounded by
beech and maple, sometimes found in
belts5interspersed with other timber: but
even where pine is almost the only tim.
Der upon the ground. it has been found
that the soil is capable of producing ex-
cellent returns to the agriculturist. Itis
true the pine stumps are an incumbrance
and somewhat difficult of removal, but
time and labor will remove them; and as
the soil is capable of producing good crops,
the time will come when as good returns
will be had as from the average lands
covered with hard wood"

The entertainment and supper given
by the ladies at the village hall last night
for the benefit OF the NJ. E. church of
this village passed off very pleasantly.
The table was .bountifully supplied and
the ladies' We'd with each other in their
attention to the wants of their patrons.
The attendance was fair, but not such as
the efforts of the ladies and the object
deserved. The literary and musical part
of the programme was one of the most
pleasing features of the evening. About
sixty tickets were disposed of at the door
besides number sold by committee OF
young ladies around town previous to

missed enjoying pleasant evening and a
splendid lsupper, and at the same time
failed to contribute in aid of a deserving

The Grand Masters annual address

been instituted, SIX halls 9edicated, one
corner stone laid, three special dispense.
tiOns, one public demonstration, one
duplicate charter granted, one case OF
trespass submitted, three appeals acted
on. eighteen decisions given and one
hundred and thirty official visits made.
The address was divided into subjects,
and referred to. the various committees.
The district reports generally show
some increase OF membership, though
not so much as during several previous
years. This is accounted for by the
scarcity of money for other than the abb
solute necessaries of life. The character
and social standing of the past years
new members are represented as excel.
lent. The preference of most of the men,
bers, as tar as obtained, indicated the
election of A. w. Finch. present Deputy
Grand Master, to be Grand Master. Geo,

4 SIGNAL LEAP.
A Sergeant ON Mount Washington
Plays Sam Patch.

A special from Httletown. N. H., says
Readers of weather bulletins in the daily
papers seldom stop to realize the hard
ships to which agents OF the Signal Ser.
vice Bureau are exposed at some Of the
posts occupied during the year. The
most dangerous for perfnA6snt habitation
Is probably Mount Washington. Last
Monday morning Sergeant Cone and
Private Murphy. of the Signal Service
corps, started from the station to 60 to
the foot OF the mountain. They took a
sled on which they proposed to descend,
OH the railroad track. After sliding for
nearly mile without any apparent dan
ger, at speed of fifteen miles an hour,
over smooth surface, and In the face Of
stiff breeze, they came to the fat just
above what is known as Jacobs Lauder"
one of the sharpest slopes of the range.
Here they rested, it being deemed sdvisa-
BILE to tighten the load by giving up the
sled to Sergeant Cone. He strapped on
a light trunk, and by adjusting the cogs
started on his downward slide. On going
over the summit of the peak, he was go
ing ut the rate of 25 miles an hour, but
this increased TO 40 as he got down the
side, and he was absolutely flying down
the mountain side, when he lost his bal
ance, and was precipitated into snow
bank, distance ct 100 feet from the
trestlewOrk. He struck upon his head
and shoulders, and when found by Pri
yate Murphy. who followed him, he was
apparently dead. After restOratives had
been administered be recovered, and was
removed to Littleton, where his wounds
were properly dressed. He Is badly
bruised about the shoulders, head and
face, bot no internal injuries are thought
to exist.

There is y resident in Branch county q
man for whom is claimed the honor OF

burning of Detroit in 1905, when the fort
was surrounded by l6 foot posts with
auger holes at convenient distances
through which to fire at the savage red
man.
In the war of 1872 he was volunteer
under Com. Perry, on board the ship
Lawrence. from whose mast waived the
streamer inscribed with the now famous
saying: Don't give up the ship" lie

"lnto each life some rain must fall,
Into al eyes some tear-drops start,
Whether they fall as gentle shower
On drop, like fire, from an aching heart
Into all hearts some sorrow must creep,
Into all souls some doubtings come,
Lashiug the waves of life's great deep
From dimpling waters to seething foam.
Owe, all pathways some clouds must lower,
Under all feet some sharp thorns spring,
Tearing the flesh to bleeding wounds,
Or entering the heart with their bitter sting.
Upon all brows rough winds must blow,
Over all shoulders a cross must be lain,
Bowing the form in Its lofty hcigh:
Down to the dust in bitter pain.
fats all hands is some duty thrust,
Unite all arms some duty given,
Crashing the heart its dreary weight,
Or lifting the soul from earth to heaven.

Gods dear sunshine comes streaming down,
Gliding the ruins of ifcs great plain
Weaving for all the golden crown.
