A drive OF little over three miles
over hard roads, turn into the dense
primeval forest, and suddenly ON top OF
a grand elevation, surrounded by a
magnificent hammock timber, the Punch
Bowl is at your feet
There are several ways TO reach the

that is rather undignifed. Once down
its depths, its size is forcibly impressed

and wahoo trees measuring and feet
in circumference, and the stones that
looked so handy from the brink become
powders of very respectable size. 1t is
hard to estimate the area of the bowl,
but between ono and two acres will
probably approximate its size at the top,
while the bottom is about one-fourth Of
this size and is from 60 to 70 feet be-
low, the topmost boughs Of the trees
barely reaching the level of the sur

draped with beautiful ferns, moses and
vines and dotted all over with violets,
modestly hiding away with the delicate
maidenhair fern under the protecting

surprising beauty, and it is hard for the

NeVs reporter of Muskegon, who was in

woman can nowhere be found.

the result is that a swelling in my right side,

lief obtained.

during the narration of his wife's troubles
and triumphs, and he willingly corroborated
the statements made by her.
