Portage Lake News
Evans and Boone Are
Trying to Arrange a
Bicycle Meet
At the Hancock Driving Park
The Date VIII Probably be Ear,v n,
October-The Portage Township
schOols-Twin City Notes.

Will Evans writes Hancock friend
from Helena. Mont, saying that he and
Will Boone, two old Houghton county
boys, would like to come east to Portage
Lake and give the towns OF Hancock and
Houghton a rousiDg bicycle meet. Mr..
Evans makes the following suggestion,
which ought TO meet with favorable con-
sideration from the merchants of the
twin cities: The merchants of Hancock
and Houghton should donate merchan-
disc for prizes to the extent OF 5000. II
this is turned over to Evans and Boone,
they will undertake to thoroughly adver-
tise the copper and iron districts, pro-
vide the Calumet band and run their
chances Of making theirexpensese east and
oil the meet out OF the gate receipts.
The program suggested by MIR. Evans
is as follows: One-mile novice, five-mile
handicap, mile match race, Boone and
Harris mile race, Evans against Boone
and Harris on tandem, and a couple OF
class races, with certain men barred.
Since Will Evans was last here he has
succeeded in capturing thirteen worlds
records, single and in tandem. His pres-
ence, with the prizes hung up, would
assure meet that would attract the
best riders from the iron country and
would bring big crowd to Portage
Lake. Evans and Boone wish to come
early in October, and at that time the
weather is apt to be favorable.

THE OLDEST KNOWN BIRD.
It Had Teeth In It's Jaws and Was Other
wise Elegant.

Wise Eiekhnt.
"The Solenhofen slate of Bavaria"
writes Professor II. G.. Seeley in his
recent little volume, THE Story of the
Earth In Past Ages, makes known
numerous insects and other forms Of ter
restrial life of this period. including the
oldest known bird. A bird is known by
its feathers. though there is no reason
why the covering to the skin should not
be as variable in this group Of animals
as among reptiles or mammals. 1t is,
therefore, remarkable that the Oldest
known bird, the arch@opteryx, has
feathers as well developed as In the ex-
listing representatives of the class and
similarly arranged.
The animal is an elegant, slender
bird, which is chiefly remarkable for
showing teeth in the jaws. About IL,
short and conical, occur ON each side OF
the upper jaw. The bird was larger
than the robin in its body and had a
tail of which there was bony core
some six inches in length. The wings
were quite as well developed as the legs,
and there are some evidences that the
former could be applied to the ground.
as are the fore legs Of quadrupeds, al
though the feathers show the wings to
have been constructed ON the same plan
as the birds of today. The Solenhofen
stone. in which SO many Of the remains
of fishes, reptiles and insects are found,
is the same as that used for photographic
purposes, being of exceeding close tex
ture and Of remarkable smoothness
when prepared for its work. {"

Lord Palmer.ton aud tho Turks

In regard to the Turks themselves,
may venture to observe that the gen.
Jus of their manners and conversation
is that of yielding everything at first?
They begin by saying, Good yes But
when you come to the matter in ques-
ton and to its details you will find all
those fine expressions mean nothing.
Like all people in weak position, they
respect you according to their opinion
Of your force. II, however, you wish
that force to have permanent infiu-
ence and to be unaccompanied by dis
like, you must blend its exercise with
justice; and, if you wish to arrive at q
quick result through all that ambuscade
of intrigues and doubts and fears and
prejudices which will DO SURE to be Sc
cretly formed against IL, you must tell
the Turk what he is to do. why he 10 to
do it, when he is TO do il and show him
that you only ask quietly and reasona-
bly, what you have a right to demand.
In this way, and this way alone, You will
do business with him. II he sees you
act thus, he will not only agree with
you. but rely upon you.-Lord Palmer
ston's Letters.

Daniel Webster on Money and Wage Earn

The very man, of all others, who
has the deepest interest in sound cur
rency and who suffers most by mis-
chievous legislation in money matters
is the man who earns his daily bread by
his daily toll. 80 His property is in
his hands. His reliance, his fund, his
productive freehold, his all, is his Ia
Dor. Whether he work on his own small
capital or another's, his living is still
earned by his industry, and when the
money of the country becomes depreci-
ated and debased, whether it be adul-
terated coin or paper without credit,
that industry is robbed of its reward.
He then labors for country whose
laws cheat him out of his bread. l
would say TO every owner of every quar-
ter section of land in the west, l would
say to every man i'll the east who fol-
lows his own pillow and to every me-
chanic, artisan and laborer of every city
in the country you'd say TO every
man, everywhere, VINO wishes by honest
means to gain an honest living, beware
of wolves in sleeps clothing. " Whoever
attempts, under whatever popular cry,
to shake the stability of the public cur
rency stabs your interests and
your happiness to the heart.
