THE MICHIGAN BURNT DIsTRICr-The district
in Michigan burned over by the fire last fall has
just been visited by Governor jerome and some
members OF the relief committee, and the an
nouncement Is made that the sufferers will get
along without further aid. There were 3, 1926 fam
lilies, including $50 persons, burned out, and
nearly all were left entirely destitute. Crops
stock and everything that could be burned was lost
very few had their land paid for, and many had
the seasons bills outstanding, which they relied
upon their crops to pay, But the relief commit.
tee have distributed over 5000 600 In money and
probably az much more in supplies, contributed
from all parts OF the country, and this has helped
the people through the winter and given then
such start that they can raise crops this season
Each family has been given 3 600 feet OF lumber
1900 shingles, a door and window sash and some
articles OF furniture, and there are now standing
about as many houses a. before the fire, although
OF course many Of them are very small and rude
In the first few days after the calamity there wa,
much suffering from hunger and exposure, bu
since the relief work got under way there has
been nothing Of the kind and the charity, upon
the whole, has been remarkably well managed.

A Tramp and His Drink.

A dilapidated-looking tramp, with six
teen distinct patches on his clothes, and
O plaster over his eye, went into sa-
loon, slapped down WORKOUT dime
and bawled out in voice loud enough
to be heard in Ogden:
"Give me soda-water cocktail with
the North pole in it."
A crowd outside, thinking free drinks
were to be set up, crowded into the sa-
loon ard watched and waited. The man
Of rags, who had ordered the North
pole in his drink, ate up all the lunch
he could find, chewed up the coffee and
cloves, and was tackling the mint, when
the bartender quietly asked:
"What did you say you want In your
drink, Mr.. Gould p
Mr.. Gould steadied himself moment,
grinned on the crowd and at himself in
the looking glass, and replied:
If you please, sir, I'll have the
North pole in it.
The bartender remembered an old
piece Of gas-tubing, shout three feet in
length, had been left around; he got it
and blew some cayenne pepper down the
inside, put one end of it in the cocktail,
and smilingly handed it to Mr.. Gould.
Mr.. Gould took it, gave first prelimina-
ry pull, and then q hurricane arose. It
seemed as though the combined lorna
does of eight Eastern States had broken
loose. An immense conglomeratiop Of
legs, arms, hats, canes and bodies was
observed piling out Of the saloon few
moments after; and to-day, when the
saloonkeeper reckons up the losses of a
broken head, cracked mirror, scratched
and stained counter, and liability Of
being sued, he will sadly remember the
last words of the tramp as he closed the
door and shot up the ssreet.-SaH Lake

EDWIN FORREST AND WHITE CLOUD

Many years ago, while Edwin Forrest
was playing an engagement in a West
ern theater, White Cloud and number
OF other Indian chiefs were on their re.
turn from Washington. Stopping IN
the town over night, they were conduct
ed to the theater to see the great Ameri-
can tragedian. Mr.. Forrest was then in
the prime of life, his voice being up to
the maximum of stentor. The play on
that evening was "Metamora. White
Cloud and his band Of warriors we're ac-
oommodated with seats in stage box.
The theater was crowded, and it was
very evident that the auditors we're
anxious to observe what effect the per-
Torrance would have on the simon.pure
children Of the forest. The play pro-
ceeded, and, though the Indians could
not understand a single word that was
said, yet they appeared to be much in
terested occasionally giving to one an
other a satisfactory grunt. After q
while they became rather uneasy, which
seemed to be simultaneous among them
all This was more apparent when the
Indian war.whoop came from behind
the scenes. The eyes of the audience
were upon White Cloud, who two or
three times grasped the tomahawk in
his belt. The other warriors did so
likewise. The party were getting more
excited as the play proceeded. They
looked at each other with anxiety their
eyes indexed the fact that their souls
we're in arms" Presently Metamora,
with uplifted tomahawk, rushed upon
the stage, and when he gave the war;
whoop, which no one but a Forrest
could do, the Indians could remain in
their seats no longer. Forrest gave 9
second and shrill whoop, whereupon
White Cloud and his band, joining in
full chorus, sprang upon the stage, and,
hrandishing their tomahawks and gilt
ter1ng knives, rushed toward Metamora.
Forrest was apparently dumbfounded for
6 moment, but he soon took in the stu
alton, and, finding that the real Indians
were on his side. ready to do or die in
his behalf, he felt that he had achieved
one Of the greatest triumphs in the pro-
fession ne so much loved during his
eventful life. In detailing this anec.
dote Forrest said that he was not really
aware at the time OF the performance
that he was using an exact "whoop"
for reinforcements, but the wild Indians
understood it and responded Us follow
ers OF Metamora. The house was thrown
into the widest excitement, which soon
cooled down, with the general belief
that 1t was the best performance and
most effective rendition of the Indian
play ever made by the distinguished
actor.-Saa Francisco Tonity Fair.
