Marquette is almost ready to expire,
and has already ceased to exist at
Muskegon, White Hall and Grand
Haven. Now a movement is on foot TO
manufacture shingles out of some of
the stumps which remain. This idea
has crept into the Badger State, and is
meeting the approval of old lumber
men, who believe Ii to be profitable In
the end. According to census stats
tic; this State manufactured $50, 000,-
600 shingles in 1890. Whether men
will resort to the stumps to increase
the crop is Il matter of conjecture.
Uncle Sam seems to be coming to the
rescue. Not long ago he sent an agent,
Filbert Roth, OF Washington, to in
vestlgate the situation, and If possible
to ascertain the extent of the devasta-
ton and the possibility of reforesta-
ton. He found that Marinette has
nearly 1.000,000,000 feet OF pine and
30J,00o000 feet of hardwood. Along

MARRIAGE NorlN HER MIND.
A Mistake Made by n Studious Girl
Caused Much Laughter.

AAuBGu
An informal afternoon banquet WAS
recently arranged by the graduating
class of local institution of learning.
The girls, of which there were a NUM-
Der, formed as usual a vision of lowell
ness, while the young man, as some
times happens, were permitted to call
attention to It, Amid the merry ellnk
OF glasses, and while strong lemonade
and root beer flowed like water, story
after story was told, retold and laugh
ed at. The best practical jokes of the
year were rehearsed. The merriment
Of the whole crowd was directed by one
unhappy allusion after another on ev-
cry one In turn. The man who had
received the highest average and was
to deliver the valedictory persisted in
talking seriously, but was choked off
early In the proceedings. Nobody
wanted to listen to how he won tile
prize or how near he came to losing 1t.
The school year was over, and they
were all thinking of something else.
Occasionally there would be lull In
the hilarity to allow the regular pro-
gram to find Its way through the en-
tertalnment.
First a tall girl got up to read a
poem which she had composed for the
occasion. She compared the class to a
tree. The young ladies were the buds
and the boys the limbs. She was fol.
lowed by an equally short young man,
who had written a class history. He
prefaced this by a lengthy essay, entl-
tied, what Makes History" to which
a mischievous girl added in an under
tone, so tiresome."
Next one of the professors got up to
explain the functions of criticism. To
give practical illustration of his re-
marks he applied them to the ylands
These he criticised thoroughly, but rs
he had been on the committee of ar
engagements he found them all excel
lent.
AS the afternoon wore away, how
ever, every one became more thought
full. They began to discuss their plans
for the future. The young men didn't
seem to have any plans, SO they sat
and listened. One of the fair graduates
was going abroad, another to study
art. Another felt she was destined for
a musical career, fourth wanted to
engage In church work. Finally they
came to rather studious girl, who was
perhaps the senior Of the class. 1t was
the impression that she was going to
continue her studies as post grad
uate. When asked what she intended
to do during the coming year year she
replied: I'm going to get a fellow"
Here something stuck In her throat,
and, although 1t seemed an almost in
f1initesimal space of time, the whole
company was In roars of laughter be-
fore she. could add ship. Chicago

His Modest Role.

The fond mother of three children
was obliged to demonstrate with her
oldest boy because in the children s
games he would always take the lead
and assign subordinate positions to his
little brother and sister The boy prom
ised not to be selfish in the future A
few days later the mother, happening
to go into the nursery, saw the two
younger children engaged in amateur
theatricals. The elder boy stood aside
with arms folded, moodily watching
them. 1--WE are playing Adam and
Eve, said the youngsters. The mother
was much gratiiled as she supposed
that in this instance at least the boy
had allowed his brother the principal
role. She turned 10 the silent figure in
the corner, about to praise him. WHO
are your she asked. God" was the
answer New York Commercial.

Presently, when the shortening days
were preceded by frosty mornings and fol-
lowed by chilly evenings, the problem
found itself solved. The superfuity was

dreadful thing to destroy food, and ones
mind keeps wandering to the Russian

one soon gets used TO 1t, as to everything
else. and after all corn makes cheerful,
cracking blaze and thaws the numbness
out of the fingers and toes as well as oak
logs or coal do. 1t does not do to be too
sentimental. 1t is not only on the farms
that this new fuel Is cooking the dinner,
cooking itself, in many cases; but In the
cities and towns people have their dinners
cooked by the golden maize Of the poets.

Hiawntha killed him, and, following his
instructions, buried him and kept the
weeds from off his grave:
It'll at length a small green feather
From the earth shot slowly upward,
Then another and another,
And before the summer ended
Stood the maize In all its beauty,
With its shining robes about 1t,
And Its long, soft, yellow tresses,"
to be the support and comfort Of man.
Hiawatha took the corn under his es-
pecial protection and IN order that the
harvest may be abundant sent Minnehala
to walk around the fields:
Covered by her tresses only,
Clothed with darkness as garment"
And the Great Spirit blest the harvest
and showered down abundance upon the
faithful people.
The poets have been fond of husking
parties, too, when cider and kisses were
freely partaken of and many an old-time
custom prevailed. Do the maidens In
Nebraska still look for red ears as a sure
promise Of handsome husband?
The practical manner by which corn
first came TO be adopted as fuel was intro
duced during last winter, when a large
number of inquiries were received by the
Department of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Nebraska asking for informa-
ton about the efficiency of corn as fuel.
Prof. G. II. Richards, aided by the State
Board of Transportation Of Nebraska, ad-
dressed a circular letter to grain and coal
dealers throughout the State asking for
conservative estimates Of the number of
people In their vicinity who were burning
corn.
Many of the replies to these letters are
of interest. The information In all Of
them is essentially the same. From all
Of them 1t appears that large percentage
OF the people in Nebraska use corn as fuel
when the crop is abundant and the price
low, and we may naturally infer that the
same condition prevails in some Of the
other Western States. 1t is an unfortu-
nate fact that in most Of the sections
where the value OF corn is least, the cost
Of coal is greatest.
Corn and coal are now rivals. The gold
en- cobs wave a naughty defiance to coal
cars from Wyoming as they run the
gauntlet of the serried ranks that stretch
from horizon to horizon. Will corn be a
practical fuel for the generation of power?
Now it is cheap and economical for do
nestle use. 1t Is cleaner and more easily
handled than coal and contains but very
small amount of ash. Some special form
of apparatus ingeniously adapted to the
new medium utilizing as much heat as
possible may Increase its practieabillty.

that took feather buster from his

take twenty years to exhaust the sup
ply in this region. 1t was learned also
that in some sections young pine trees
are taking the place of those cut twen-
ty years ago. There are some en-
thusiasts who believe that an effort
should be made to replant the pine for
est, but the conservative lumbermen
say that 1t takes from fifty to one hun
dred years to grow pine trees to profit
able proportions. Nevertheless, some
have found 1t profitable to return to de
vastated forests and cut the trees
that were rejected ten and twenty
years ago. They claim to have made
as great profit as those who handled
the lumber originally.
