eyes that now danced and sparkled
and then grew soft and tender as a
little child. Two rose-red lips shut in
her pearly teeth and when she smiled
tiny dimple danced for moment on
her peachy cheek. Her hair clung in
caressing curls around her low white
forehead and fell in ripples of golden
sunshine far below her slender waist
| But very few knew Of Maries beau
~. For when she went with her moth
err on one of her rare visits TO the ham
! let below she brushed her wavy hair
straight and smooth back from her
| forehead and braided it in long stiff
| plaits which fell down her back.
SO it happened that only her mother
and one other person knew how good
and sweet and how fair Marie was.
The other was a stranger who came
from PARKWAY country and spent his
summers in little house on the noun
| tain's very top
The simple villagers called him 'the
wizard" and told strange tales of how
he spent whole nights gazing at the
heavens through long tube; that he
could foretell to an hour when the sun
would cover itself with darkness.
But, strangest of all, he had little
wire stretched for miles over hills and
valleys to the great city! This wire
talked to him in a queer language
which no one else could understand.
Marie did not know how wise the
wizard was when he came to her home
one morning and asked for drink of
water
After this the wizard came often to
the Widows chalet for rest and refresh
ment on his long miles, and long be-
fore the first summer was ended the
stranger knew that no girl in all the
canton could be compared with Marie.
On the other side of the mountain
from the Widow Neur's home lived an
other widow. She, too, had but one
child, n son, who was the pride and de-
light Of her life. This was the brave
young hunter and guide, Gustavus Friel.
Gustavus cared little for the Obgadin
maidens. He would far rather chase
the chamois up the mountain side or
guide travellers through its dangerous
passes than spend his time with the
finest of the maids of the hamlet
His mother often said: My son,
when wilt thou bring me home daugh-
ter and thyself wife,"
And Gustavus, smiling and pressing
kiss on her forehead, would answer:
when l find maid rs good as thee,
mother; but / want no idle, shrill-
voiced wife to disturb our quiet home"
But one day his mother SAID more
sadly and seriously than ever before:
"Gustavus, / am growing old and
feeble. 1 can no longer make and
mend thy clothes and keep our home.
Thou must have a wife. Promise me
one from among the maidens there"
Gustavus reluctantly gave her the
desired promise, but it weighed heavily
upon him.
At last he seized his gun and went
out on the mountain, but the perplex-
ing question followed him, until in
despair he threw himself on the ground
groaning:
''Oh, that some wise man would
make this choice for mer'
A moment after he looked up and
saw, as if to answer his wish, the wiz
ard approaching him.
"Why," he exclaimed to himself, did
I not think of him before2 Surely he if
anyone can help me-"
The wizard greeted Gustavus warm
ly, for he felt a strong friendship for

An exchange, says: "By far the
most important official position in the
county is the Office of county school
commissioners. He must have thor
ough education, possess rare tact and
be able to overcome the many intricate
problems that confront the average
school teacher.
The qualifications needed. for this
Office are of II high order, and of pc
cuiis.r- aatare,-FeanirinQ as il does a
personal supervisor of the schools Of
the county, and the examination and
licensing of teachers. Besides the
thorough scholarship necessary to per-
form the duties of the office and COM
mand respect in the position, the COM
missioner should have a matured and
practical experience as teacher, a
thorough acquaintance with modern
text books, and practical knowledge
Of methods of teaching and discipline,
and of school work generally
The simple fact that n student may
have confined himself to his studies
until he has sufficient amount of
book learning to secure a first or
second grade certificate, should not,
without other qualifications, entitle
him to such n responsible position.
1t needs a practical educator. teacher
of ability and experience for the place. ?"
w. f. Benkelman has all the quail
fications called for in the above para
graphs, and the voters of Crawford
county will make no mistake in giving
him the preference, as he has given
satisfaction in every position to which
he has been called. and the past is

At the approaching spring election,
an amendment to the constitution will
be submitted to the electors of the
state authorizing the city OF Grand
Rapids to issue its bonds, the proceeds
of which will be used to secure deep
water navigation from Grand Rapids
to Lake Michigan. The benefit to
commerce of this improvement will be
ncalculable, not only to Grand Rapids,
but TO all western, central and north
ern portions. of Michigan. whose trade
is tributary to Grand Rapids.
Freights will be largely reduced, en-
aiding jobbers and manufacturers TO
duplicate Chicago prices. New indus
tries will spring into existence. labo
will be in greater demand ut bette
prices, population will rapidly increase
and all real estate owners will reap
substantial benefits. The improve
inents will be made at the expense of
the taxpayers of that city, who are
almost unanimously in favor of the
project.
The measure Is purely local in char
acter. 1t will not affect taxpayers in
any part of the state except in Grand
Rapids. The subject has been care
fully considered and the resolution
submitted TO the legislature, asking
for the constitutional measure, was
not opposed by u single taxpayer of
that city. This is significant evidence
of the fact that the citizens are desir-
GUS of being permitted to bond them
selves for the purpose of improving
Grand river.
Tie electors of Crawford county are
earnestly requested to vote on this
proposition to the end that it may be
passed by a large and decisive MAORI
ty. The voters are therefore reminded
that under the existing form of ballots
it is necessary to Indicate vote for or
against the amendment by making a
cross in the square set opposite the
amendment section of the ticket. I'm
less cross be made no vote Is recorded
by the canvassers. Let every voter
help along this important project by
voting for the amendment.
