Wordsworth and Burns.

A friend writes us from England: We
visited the simple tomb of William
Won dsworth in Grasmere churchyard.
The old church stood near it, among
the ancient trees. The rapid Rotha
passed the graves and the grand hills
lifted their green domes in the cloudless
sky.
We had ridden past the poet tuned
lakes of Windermere and Grasmere,
with memories of Coleridge, De Quin.

and Harriet Martineau, and had rested
by Rydal Water in the shadows Of Ry.
dial Mount.
Wordsworth, said one of our par.
ty, calling to mind the author of the
Excursion. " Seems to be the soul OF
all these scenes. He made himself the
ever prevailing spirit of the English
lakes.
Burns was his teacher" said anoth.
er.
"How was that?' we asked.
There, under the grand trees lifting
their solemn tops to the sun, our friend
repeated single verse from Words
worth's poem on the death of Burns:
mourned with thousands. hut as ono
More deeply grieved, for no was gone
Whose light hailed when first it shone
And showed my youth
how verse may build princely throne
On humble truth.

Our Forests.

Labor Commissioner Morse will this
year make ADMINISTRATION OF the amount
OF forest remaining in Michigan. Super
visors will be asked to inquire into the
amount in acres, in timber in their town
ships at the time of taking the assess
ment. Michigan was formerly famous
for its timber-both in quantity and
quality. Now our pine is nearly all
gone and enormous inroads have been
made in our hardwood forests. Many
people ascribe the climatic changes in our
seasons TO the removal of the forests,
The investigation is ostimportant, and
every person should be interested in ns-
sisting to make it accurate.

the seat adjoining them sat John Powers,
the veteran traveller. who has been sell
ing goods in the copper country for

marks to his fellow travellers in a tone
loud enough for the News reporter, aud
IN fact the whole car, to hear them:
Jimmie" he said to one OF his com
panions, boot and shoe man from Chi
cago, there's SO much snow up here
that the children are all born with feet
that are really small snow-shoes when
you examine them"
There was short silence when the ire
pressible broke out again: Say, jim
mic, do you think in the next world Wei
be doing the same kind OF work that we
do In this, only more idealized?"
II believe we will. Now az an illustra.
ton: In the next world you'll be selling
golden slippers"
What will be selling?" asked the
third member Of the party, light hard.
ware man from Detroit.
You'll be selling Pingree buttons--on
the side" quickly replied the cheek y
young man.
At this iuncture John Powers leaned
over the seat and, in a stage whisper
said to the funny knight OF the grip
"What house do you represent"
$50 & So, was the reply.
First trip up here?" again queried Mr.
Powers.
"Yes, said the other.
"Ahl / thought So" said Powers, IA b,

Captain Carter, Of the local Salvation
Army corps, left at noon for Minneapolis
in response To an order to be in that city

for what reason he goes. An officers
council will be held in Minneapolis next

will remain to attend that. In a recent
issue of the War Cry, the official paper OF
the Army in America, Captain Carter is
quoted as being with the Army and Civ
ing n)i allegiance to "The American
Volunteers" the name Of Ballington
