HOMESTEADERS VS..
LAND COMPANY
Test Case Will be Tried I'm the
United States Court
this Month.

A Crystal Falls dispatch states
that the struggle which is going on
between the michigan Land & Iron
Co. and the homesteaders was
transferred to that city Tuesday
when Deputy United States Marshal
Dolf, of Marquette, served papers
on Register of Deeds Jackson, OF
Iron county, summoning him to APP
pear in the United States circuit
court at Grand Rapids on Jan. 3lst
and show cause why he should not
be permanently enjoined from re
moving the .imber from three sec
tions of land in the Ontonagon and
Brule river grant. Jackson pur
chased the timber from the Michi-
gan Land & Iron Co, and sold it to
A. Spies, Of Menominee. Holmes &
Jackson, of Iron River, had the log
ging contract and will lose heavily
if the injunction stands, as will also
Register Jackson. The case is a
test one, and is being watched with
interest by the homesteaders.

FELL 1000 FEET TO DEATH
Veteran OfZulu and SOudan Wars
Met With Terrible Fate
at Calumet.

Edward Hawkins, of Calumet, an
old man who had seen service in the
British navy during the Zulu and
Soudan wars, and who had been en-
ployed in the mines of the copper
country for short time, met ter
rible death at the Tamarack junior
Tuesday morning. He fell down a
perpendicular shaft distance of
nearly 1000 feet Pieces of his
body were picked up in different
parts OF the shaft.
The Catholics of st. Iguace con
template building a fine new church
in honor OF FIR. Marquette, the fa-
nous missionary and explorer, who
spent several years of his life there
teaching the Indians. Ifthis is done
they propose to transform the old
church into Marquette memorial
museum. FIR. Marquette is now
buried beneath the floor of this little
mission, his bones having been re-
moved there from the mouth of what
is now the Pere Marquette river,
where he died. The fact that the
church is FIR. Marquette's mauso
Nleum draws thousands OF tourists to
visit it every summer. 1t is esti-
mated that every day during the
past season it was visited by from
500 to 700 people.

sport and some fast races, and they
were pretty literally rewarded for
their trouble But these gentlemen
having their private business to look
after, could not afford to devote so
much time and attention to the park
as was necessary, and for that rea-
son disposed of their interests.
What the new management intends
doing is not known, but it is pre-
sumed that next season will see
some of the hottest races ever wit

A piano tuner, who says that
pianos frequently deteriorate be-
cause they are allowed to become
too dry, prescribed this remedy:
Keep a growing plant in the room,
and so long as your plant thrives
your piano ought to, or else there s
something wrong with it. Just try
it, and see how much more water
you will have to put in the flower
pot in the room where your piano is
than you use in any other room.
Some people Keep a huge vase or
urn, with q sopping wet sponge in
it, near or under the piano, and
keep it moistened, just as a cigar
dealer keeps his stock. They keep
this up all the time the fires are on. I"

Makes Artificial Ewes.

Tucked away in quaint old world
corners we find some of the most odd
personages. Such is the great artif-
cial eye maker and painter, A. Muller
Hipper. In quaint Lauscha, in the
very heart Of old T%huringen's dense
forests and high mountains, he sits and
works away day in and day out, sur
rounded by his family, the male mem
bers of which are all experts in this
delicate work and have been such
since the days of his great-grandfa-
Their, who first started the work in
Paris, but who, owing to the strong
anti-German feeling, vas forced to re-
turn to his native mountain land. They
have grown rich, but lead simple, quiet
lives.
While the writer sat in front of Mr..
Ripper he deftly mixed different col
ored glasses over his gas lamp and
within half al hour brought forth a
perfect reproduction, in everything but
real sight, of the writer's eye. Every
year thousands of eyes made by this
old world family find their way to
America.-Leslie's Weekly.

and up and down it and waited for the
crisis and the proof. Between his eyes
came other lines, and they were crisis
crossed with other wrinkles.
"Tn rake your insides out" he told
the swamp that regarded him with fat,
black contempt and stood in ooze. .I'll
rake and scrape you and make dry
peat Of you and get my locomotive
back"
The lads drilling went at it steadily,
and when n hole was made under
the dark water Archer ordered another.
I'll give you pills, my boy" he told
his sick railroad, "and fetch you out
hale and hearty"
He sat watching the men work, one
of them turning the drill stolidly and
the others striking.
keep the hole up and down. Don't
go out of the rib" said Archer. Its
not so big across"
All WHO were doing nothing came
down to look at the operation. and
they made bets for and against, ac-
cording as they believed in Archer or
in Scott.
"a dollar he does"
"And a dollar he d~oesn't!"
Fifty dollars l do" said Archer. 81
just mean having it DONE"
And next morning early they put in
the dynamite cartridges, tailed like
fixing comets, with Bickford's fuse.
"Set 'em going" said the doctor, and

spouts in the creek.
And presently the. crack came, and
the water heaved, and q rock lump
leaped in foam.
Bully for our side!' said Wade,
jumping. "Ill double my bet.''
And now the creek was tined with
men who watched it in doubt that soon
was doubt no more.
"She's moving!" yelled Wade, and
the others cheered. For the current of
the stream was swift. Archer with his
rod, was jabbing for that earth rib, and
found it no more. The ancient accu-
mutation of weed and wreck and ooze
piled up against it began to 60, and the
stream moved swifter and swifter as it
cut its way into the earth. And as it
moved it sanll inch by inch.
"Haye done it," asked the doctor.
"It looks like it," said Scott, land 1
w you've beaten me. She's draining
draining fast"
Lets go up higher" said Archer.
'Where's my locomc..ve?"
He set men by TIE place Of blasting,
and as the creek fell they cheered the
way for it. He piled them into the
water with their shovels, and the
swamp went out into the lake and
made a black, broadening band in the
silvery waters tapping on their beach.
"Ill teach you," said Archer to the
enemy; "Il teach you! Give me back
my locomotive!''
And presently they saw the engine
show itself above the sinking ooze, and
from both sides Of the swamp the
length of three long rails was visible.
"a bit of sum-" said Archer, will
make it peat. I'm wanted east Just
now. Hurry up. hurry up"
And the man who meant having it
done went back to do something else

THE OLD HUNTING o A

a thing OF stiff canvas, dirt spotted and torn:
Soiled corduroy collar, huge pockets that tote
ane game, and Its fabric is crumpled and worn,
Yet memories cling to the old hunting coat.
Its color Of tan with the ground smoothly blends
And rights not the timid and sharp sighted
game;
By delicate thread its lone button suspends,
Untouched by the hand of the unseeing dame;
On the sleeve q light feather seems destined to
stay,
Inc scent OF burnt powder around it doth cling,
And Its pockets conceal but a motley array
VI pipe and tobacco, shells, matches and string.
Ana many q night it has pillowed the head
That rested in peace meath a sheltering tent
1hat on some streams banks, tree protected, was
spread,
Where few but Dame Natures wild creatures
eer went.
All, II 1t could speak, it would eagerly tell
VI long, breathless chase through the thicket
and thorns
In pursuit Of the elk that fought nobly and well,
But whose antlers the old hunting coat now
|. O p~erchance It would whisper Of mornings sharp
And rush hidden boat in some lake at daylight
And speak OF the silence and cen of the thrill
AnAt ~ ieI Wnen the canrasback started the
fight.
Or vet it could speak of the favorite camp
where the brook makes sweet music and soft
breezes blow
AMI the odoar OF frs and Of wild flowers, dew
damp,
Aud the leaping of trout where the slender
weeds grow.
The broadcloth may scorn 1T, the wooden may
sheer
Aristocrats they, keeping always remote
Yet more of them offers the comfort and cheer
And happiness found in the old hunting coat.
