To the editor of THE L'ASsE SENTINEL:
In your issue of the 10th you print an
article signed by some one evidently
ashamed of his own name, rejecting on
the honesty of the people who have ad-
vocated bonding the township for the
purpose of raising money to pay off out
standing judgments by order. believe
that have done as much as any one in
advocating this. l have talked it for
mere than a year and drew up the petit
ton, and Mr.. Anthony Girard Is cir
cu!ating 1t. am not ashamed OF 1t, but
Oh the contrary believe that it is better
to pay these claims little at time. ey-
tending ever q period of five or ten years
than to have them all spread upon the

ship board are not responsible for this
condition of affairs, but desire that the
credit OF the township shall be main
taned. The claims are long standing.

sign his proper name, that we may see
wherether he ever paid dollar OF taxes
to Baraga township? l don't believe he
ever did. His article sounds more like
one from hungry office seeker or an
ex.feeder at the public trough. Can he
explain how the township board can pay
for printing proceedings of meetings
when there is not dollar in the
treasury? There is no one to compel
them to publish them, although it would
be good thing to have it done. But as
there is no money, would it not be ad-
vlsable for The SENTINEL. II it wants
increased circulation In Baraga,
to publish u synopsis OF the
proceedings 1t would be moro an item
OF public interest than the fact that

tween poisonous and non-poisonous
snakes and lizards. Generally speaking
a good rule to go by is that the hurtful
snakes have rather large and hattened
heads. There are one or two poisonous
varieties with small heads, but they have
small mouths as we'll, instead of the
widely gaping jaws that usually character
iZe the ophidia, and are incapable of
doing much harm. The small pointed
head is the head OF harmless snake.
Most of these are very useful members of
hurtful pests. The gopher-snake, for in

he is found in chicken-roost. 1t is COM

I know, have nest close at hand.
The pair are manifestly unhappy. l am

The little hen has left her pearly gray eggs

Although within yard of the place that

into the tangle Of branches, can discover
no reason for the demonstration Of the

The Little Town Maid.

Never hint of sky that is blue,
Only between those trees;
"Does God make skies ever, nursey, dear
Any bigger than these?"
Never a rush down a grassy slope
Fragrant and sweet;
"Do flowers ever grow just for nothing,
Right at our 1eet?"
Never a gay tumble in haymow,
To find new eggs:
''Do hens grow hanging at the butcher mans
Down by their legs?"
Never a sweet new bowl of milk
On fiat doorstone:
"Shall always sit by the nursery table
Eating alone?"
Never a chippering, rollicking note
OF bird Or bee:
"The canary Is drefful stupid, an he
Won'tsing to mel"
Never a sleep so dewy and fresh
In cool green shade:
"Must always and ever get into this bed
You've Just made?'
Never-O, little town maid, why reason
The problem out?
The ..wherefores' of life are passing strange
Beyond adoubt.
And why sweet childhood's dawning hours
Should prisoned be
Away from haunt of bird and flower,
Is deepest mystery.

Among the rocks of the Sierras hunter

parnyard of mountain ranch. The egg,
which was about the size of a turkeys, was
creamy white and not notified. 1t was
put under a sitting hen and in due

to peep, a most remarkable creature
came forth. It resembled nothing

| ioxolophodon, thereby detracting nothing

and breast, and was SO badly
constructed, so lily proportioned, that it
was impossible for it to bend its head to
eat or drink without falling forward in a
decidedly comical fashion. The poor thing
had wonderful patience and perseverance,
and 1t became quite dextrous In the art OF

ana absurd accidents. 1t not thing OF

contemplation of them would provoke

ture, as everybody else did. He would

mersaults and recoveries with evident
pleasure. But in an evil moment the dog
entered too much into the spirit OF the
sport, and killed the Ioxolophodon with
his teeth.
Everybody was indignant, and the bird
was tied about the dogs neck, in the hope
OF curing him of taste for murder. The
poor beast compelled everybody upon
the ranch TO share his punishment
and his remorse, for he reiterated
under the house and howled there dis
mally for three DAYS and nights, refusing
all requests to come out until he had freed
himself from the hateful loxolophodon.
