FOREST FIRES IN MICHIGAN.

North Muskegon aud Vicinity in Terror
Five square Miles OF Flames.
MUSHROOM, July l0.-The city of North
Muskegon and vicinity is in terror Of the
greatest forest fire ever witnessed here,
and hourly the danger becomes greater,
as the flames creep along with astonish-
ing rapidity. Farm houses and extensive
crops are threatened on all sides, and the
farmers have turned out in body TO
check the Roadway. 1t will be almost
fruitless. however, as already over five
square miles is one mass of flames and
the dense smoke makes a battle with
them almost impossible.
Word reached the city last night OF the
burning Of Albert Van Zant's sawmill
and large quantity of logs shingles and
lumber. amounting TO several thousand
dollars. Several farm houses cannot es-
cape the flames. and it Is reported that
many acres OF crops have already been
reduced TO ashes. Unless rain comes soon
NO one can tell what the damage will be-

The Retired Burglar.

Curious isn't il, y said the retired bur
glar, chow often our choice Of occupation,
and so the course of our whole lives may
be determined by circumstances? l never
had any particular inclination for the bur
glary business-in fact, l think my incli-
nations would naturally be rather against
it. But when 1 was n very young man l
suffered greatly from insomnia. / couldn't
sleep nights, and l couldn't keep awake
days.
"Now, in these days, when things are
kept going all the time, there are plenty of
night occupations. If had been born now,
l could have found plenty to do. But in
those days things were slower; things used
10 stop at night and people used TO go To-
bed and begin again in the morning, and
there was mighty little choice for "a man
in the way Of night work. SO | suppose il
was natural enough for me TO drift into
the burglary business
"Well, | hadn't more'n fairly got set
tied down into it before my INSOMNIA left
me, and had the darndest time you ever
heard of To keep awake nights. l didn't
dare 10 sit down anywhere for fear / go
to sleep. think very likely that in reality
this was good thing for me, for l had TO
keep right on the alert every minute and
keep moving, and i dare say that that
kept me many time from getting into
trouble, but still il always seemed kind
of pity that / couldn't have got over the
insomnia just little earlier than / did.
You see, then / should have gone into
some other business, and / should have
liked it better know. New York Sun.

from Captain Evans ship, and, believing
it safe, the sailors who had acted as oars
men left it on the beach for few minutes
while they went To Stake their thirst. Upon
their return they discovered that party
of Chileans had loaded it with stones.
"Fighting Bob was fighting mad when
he heard of IL the next day, and as l hap
pened To be on board his ship at the time
asked him what he was going TO do about
IL.
DO about it?' returned the sailor.
why, I'm going to turn my men into trav-
cling arsenals, and if the thing ever hap
pens again, or if our flag is again insult

Both Papers Were Useful.

Bill Wright was justice of the peace,
and also an absentminded man, whose
wife was as able an orator as Xantippe.
Bill used TO serve all his processes HIM
self, and to save time would sign the mar
riage certificates in blank and deliver a
number To the parson.
One day Bill had process TO serve away
up in the mountains on semibarbarous
recluse who was sued for damages for
some misdeeds, and Bill thought he would
deliver few of the certificates 10 the parl
son.
So sticking both packages Of papers in
the same pocket, he mounted his horse and
rode Off
Reaching the minister's, he stopped and
chatted awhile, and after delivering his
papers he started off again and took the
road to the mountains.
The parson had wedding that day, one
of the parties being notorious horse thief
from an adjoining county. When the GER
emony was over the parson selected "a GER
tificate from the bundle and unrolled it
sufficiently to sign his name. On handing
il To the man the latter opened 1t, and his
eye grew wild as he read, instead of mar
riage certificate warrant of arrest, sign
ed by both the justice Of the peace and by
the parson. He feared some trap, SO sur
rendered himself to custody.
When the justice reached the mountain
side, he took out the paper to read it and
Immediately saw its nature, but maintain
ing his self possession he recited the form
of summons, which he fortunately remem-
bered.
He then returned and found the horse
thief in Jail and went and saw the parson,
rcmarking, with his own matrimonial fe-
licity in mind, that both papers had unin-
tentionally served the ends of Justice
