doubtless the first white man to visit it,
or at least to dwell upon it. He estab-
lished q school on the island in 1871 for
the education of the Indian youths, and
SO much was he attached to "the Straits"
that when he died in 1915 it was at his
request his Indian converts brought his
body back to the little mission estab-

but under various processes the English
refused TO withdraw their troops. By a

it was stipulated that the British should

Half or three quarters of mile be-
hind Fort Mackinac, on the browning
point of the island, is Fort Holmes,
built after the British captured the post
in 1912. The excavation encrcling the
eInbankment or earthworks was origin
ally broader and deeper than now. line
place of the gate is seen on the east
side, one of the posts yet remaining to
mark it's position. In the center Of the
fort was erected huge block-house, be-
meath which was the magazine. Near
the gate was the entrance to several
cellars. which have now caved in. His
tory shows this fort to have been con-
sidered a. very remarkable and formida-
bic defense in its time. Its old name
was Fort George, but when it became
all American possession it was renamed
in honor Of Maj. Holmes, hero who
fell at Early's Farm.
AS far back as history begins to vie
with traditions that reach into the dis
tant past Mackinac Island has been a
place of great interest. A legend relates
that large number of Indians were
once assembled at Point St. Ignace, and
while intently gazing at the using sun,
during the great Manitou or February
moon, they beheld the island suddenly
rise up from the water, assuming It's
present form. From the point of obser-
walton it bore the fancied resemblance
to the back Of huge turtle; hence they
called it by the name of Mas -che ne mac
sing. which means a great turtle. The
name, when pat into French dress, be-

Sounds Fishy.

A few days ago a gentleman visited
a large foundry in Chicago and noticed
a number of Polish girls lifting chunks
of resin from one barrel to another.
"What is the object of that ?" he asked
the superintendent; lit seems to me
you might transfer that resin much
more quickly" "Oh, that's all right,
he answered. eve have them do this
work for awhile to harden their hands
before they undertake to handle rough
and heavy iron castings. The girls
themselves never suspect that the
work they are doing is not needed.
They are working here now in good
faith, as you see, and not one of them
is quick-witted enough to suggest that
there is better way to transfer sew
eral barrels of resin across this room
than to carry the resin across piece by
piece in their hands. If we really
wanted the resin transferred, it would
not take one man five minutes to roll
every barrel into place. Argo4saatt.

In some parts OF Missouri nothing is
commoner in out of the way places
than solitary "coal shaft. In one
of these remote mines there was kept,
a hundred feet below the surface,
little old mule, whose business it was
to draw the loaded cars up the inclined
plane to the foot of the shaft.
Back and forth, back and forth it
made it's dismal journey during the
working hours, and at night was left
alone in corner fitted up as stable,
to await in the silence and utter
darkness the return of it's human COM
rades.
For five long years it had never
breathed the upper air, or seen the
light of day. It was a great pet with
the miners, who used to bring it
punches of fresh grass in summer, or
Jumps of sugar and apples in winter.
One night, when the mule was be-
ing embarrassed, some one proposed
taking Jimmy" up in the cage. 1t was
done; her tremors as the cage began
to ascend we're scothed by the assuring
words and carresses of her companions,
and soon she found herself restored to
mules natural privileges.
The next morning when the time
came to go to work, Jimmy" positively
refused to return. Neither persuasion
nor threats could induce her to APP
proach the shaft and step into the
waiting cage.
A council was held. The miners,
touched by what the poor brute had
suffered in her five years of isolation,
and reproducing themselves that her
imprisonment had been so long, at
length solved the problem by subscrib-
ing on the spot enough out of their
scanty earnings to buy Jimmy" and
she was Immediately loosed and
turned out to grass.
For years afterward she might have
been seen nibbling the grass near the
shaft, or sheltering herself behind
liberal haystack that somehow was al
ways there for her. When working
hours were over she was sure to be
near the shaft. where she could mutely
testify to her liberators as they came
up. that she was the happiest mule in
Missouri. - Youth'S Companion. +
