The grenadiers of the famous "OId
Guard will never be forgotten in
France as long as the memory of brave
men shall live in the national heart
But some of them. at least. were as
bright as they were brave. as the fol-

ness:
One fine morning. after peace had
been concluded between France and
Russia. the two emperors, Napoleon
and Alexander, were taking a short
walk, arm in arm, around the palace
park at Erfurt. AS they approached the
sentinel, who stood at the foot of the
grand staircase, the man. who was a
grenadier of the guard. presented arms.
The emperor of France turned, and
pointing with pride to great scar
that divided the grenadier's face, said:
What do you think, my brother, of
soldiers who can survive such wounds
as that?'
''And you," answered Alexander,
what do YOU think of soldiers who can
inflict them?''
Without stirring an inch from his po-
sition, or changing the expression of
his face in the least, the stern old grena-
dicr himself replied, gravely:

LAKE MICHIGAN ALWAYS OPEN.
How It Is Rendered NavfRabIe All
the Year Around.

Navigation on Lake Michigan is never
closed. Steamers run back and forth
across the lake and between the ports
of the west shore of the lake during the
entire winter with remarkable regular
ity. The first attempts at winter navi-
CATION on the translake routes were
made by the Detroit & Milwaukee Rail
read company and by the now defunct
Engelmann Transportation company
many years ago, and the success of win
ter ventures became established as the
character of the steamers was improved
and Developments were made in marine
enginery. Now winter navigation pro
cceds almost uninterruptedly, and the
new car ferries steam back and forth
with little regard for weather or for
ice. The success of the car ferries Ola
Lake Michigan and the car ferry which
defies winter in the Straits of MackInac
is probably the cause of the announce
ment that negotiations are in progress
looking to the construction of ice
breaking freight steamers that Will en-
able their owners to keep them in com
mission on the Lake Superior and lower
lake route during the winter. The re-
port is without foundation.
There is a vast difference between
the navigation of Lake Michigan from
one shore to the other and along its
west shore, and the navigation of the
great lakes throughout their lengths
and through the interlake channels. Ice
breaking is expensive and occasionally
the ice floes defy the crushing powers of
the best of the so-caIled ice breakers.
One of the car ferries was recently
stalled by a foe near Menominee. v hich
l.. I.
explosive power of dynamite. The
trouble of winter navigation on the
chain of lakes would occur in the inter
lake channels and in the canals. Ow-
ing to the clogging effects of the ice it
would be almost impossible to operate
canals during midwinter.
Another and a very serious bar to
general lake navigation in winter is the
prevalence of snowstOrms, during
which nothing whatever can be seen.
Snow is more obstructive to the sight
than fog, and during a driving snow
storm it is impossible to see anything
ahead. even in the daytime Wint, :
Eavigators on Lake Michigan. who are
never out of sight of land for any great
length of time, experience their chief
annoyance from the snowstorms. They
manage to steam into port when snow
is flying thick. because of their famil
iarity with the route, but they occa-
sionally get into trouble while they are
wrapped in ''the tumultuous privacy of
the STORM"
IT does not follow, by any means. that
because winter navigation is success
full on Lake Michigan it can be made
successful in the upper and lower lake
service.-Milwaukee Wisconsin.
