Ancient Missions in Michigan

There is no record to be found telling
exactly when or where the mission on the
shores of Little Traverse bay was first
established; but it is a known fact that
the mission founded at Earbor Springs
in 1927, by Rev. Father Peter De Jean,
was at first designated as the L'Arbre
Croche mission, presumably because it
was erected on the site of the original
LAbre Croche mission, founded during
Marquette's time. L'Arhre Croche vii
lage proper was located about thirteen
miles farther up the coast, says the Har-
Dor Springs Standard. and at one time
was the largest Indian village south of
the Straits of Mackinaw. 1t is said
it could muster thousands of brawny war
riors, and it is quite likely that at one
time there was a mission there also. 1t
was at that point where the Menominees,
Chippewas and Ottawas held council. in
July of 1853, after the massacre of Fort
Michilimackinac, when the Ottawas had
with them several English prisoners. The
name is of French origin, meaning ''the
crooked tree" and was given to the place
on account of a large, distorted pine tree
which grew near by The name was
sometimes applied to the entire western
coast of Emmett county, south of Cross
village.

Liliputian Warriors.

1t does not speak well for France that
the government should find it necessary
to lower the regulation height of the in
fantry soldier from 566 feet to 4 feet II
inches. True, it is estimated that this
lowering of the regulation height will
add some 10000 men to the French army.
But at the some time it is an admission
that the average stature Of the French
man is diminishing, and it may be ques-
toned whether the full equipment of a
French linesman, which is very heavy,
will not prove too weighty burden for
this new class of recruits. Meanwhile
the military authorities are making ar
engagements to transform Nancy into an
immense intrenched camp, at a cost of
some $40,OO0,000, garrisoning it by Il
force of 10000 men. 1t must be borne
in mind that according to the actual lines
of advance of Germany the seizure of
Nancy would be the first and main object
of an invading army. Nancy would
then be the base of operations against
Toul, and once Toul taken, the road to
Paris would be open.

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
The Diet and Drink of AriZona-The Heat
and Alcoholic Stimulants.

The diet of the people in this land of
adobe and sunshine is simple. Melons,
green corn and such fruit as apricots and
peaches are abundant and cheap. They
are eaten by everyone. Dried beef, veni-
son and mutton brought down from the
mountains are in every home, and there
are all manner of Mexican dishes and
soups that everyone, even the most re-
cent arrival from New England, eats
with pleasure in these heated days. AL
cohOlic StimulantS are no doubt drunk
more generally in Arizona and all the
mining localities in the Southwest than
anywhere in the East, but when the
mercury is rising high the drinker must
exercise prudence in his drains, for the
intense heat has greater effect on Il per-
son in a state of alcoholic intoXication
than on anyone else. The sudden death
of a hard drinker in a period of unusual
heat is a common occurrence Ill this re-
gion, and salOonkeepers are careful to
see that the topper who is imbibing free
ly on hot day either keeps indoors and
out of the sunshine or lets up on his
stimulant. Many of the most careful
barkeeperS in Yuma and Phoenix refuse
to sell any whisky or brandy to hard
drinkers when the mercury is ranging
from 10 degrees to 115 degrees in the
shade. Physicians here say that the al
cOhol when heated produces Il pressure
on the blood vessels of the brain and one
who has weakened these blood vessels
by years of alcoholism is a firstzclass
subject TO death from apOpleXy. At the
little town of ella Bend, seventy miles
east of Yuma, last summer, half dozen
miners went on a spree when the tenn
perature was at about lis degrees. Three
of them died as they lay asleep in the
broiling sun, and one of the others has
been demented ever since.-Yuma CORES

DUG FROM OLD MOUNDS.
Valuable and Interesting Finds Made in
WaIwnrfh County. s. ID.


WaIworth County, s. ID.
Captain Louis DeLestry has been head
ing a party consisted of himself, w. II.
Adams Of Minneapolis and w. II. easier,
sent out to explore and report upon the
mounds along the Missouri river in Wal
worth county, ). ID.
The party devoted attention 10 the
mounds in the northwest corner of the
county, opposite the mouth of Grand
river, and were richly repaid for their la
bors. On the second bench from the
Missouri, adjoining the prairie, in the 10
series of mounds enclosing a space about
6OO yards in diameter, in the center Of
which was the largest mound of ALL The
enclrcling mounds numbering about
eighty. A remarkable variety of flint I'M
plements was found. These consist OF
arrow heads, spear heads, knives and
axes, and one Of the spear heads eXllib-
tied by Mr.. DeLestry being u magnificent
specimen. The central mound was OK
plored to a depth of seven and Il half
feet, and to distance of twenty feet
toward the center from the outer cage.
In it were found great varieties and
quantities of pottery of various descrip-
tons, all broken, but plainly representing
Jars of native and perhaps prehistoric
workmanship. This pottery was well
preserved, and showed that much skill
was exercised in it's manufacture. The
hnest specimen was corrugated in Il lati-
tudinal direction and fitted with ears or
handles through which thongs might be
placed for carrying purposes. A guam
tity of burned clay was also unearthcd
from the center of the mound. This, Mr..
DeLestry claims, was the remains of an
altar at which sacrifices of animal matter
were offered and in proof of this claim
he exhibits a charred bone. He believes
the ground was q celebrated meeting
place for prehistoric tribes, who threw
up the smaller mounds for defense. A
dry water course ran along the outer
wall, and what he took for a well-worn
path led to it from a gateway in the
series of mounds.
Among the f1ints discovered were ar
row heads and knives in process of con-
struction, showing that some of the
strange people. devoted themselves in this
occupation, while the other were differ
emily engaged. The arrow heads we're
found in great profusion, and the party
also carried away several sacks of pot
terry. Ten days were devoted to the
work, and the members of the company
believe they have made historical find.
