tain Lafbreg to cisit South Manitou.
Captain Lafberg, who is well versed
in nautical affairs, was greatly alarmed
over the change he saw in the beach.
EIe warned the people to leave the is
land at a moments notice. The Hol->
landers laughed at him. They have al
ways lived on the island in perfect Sc
curity and secuted the idea that the
high sand hills would ever be SUBJ
merged. They We're told that many
oceanic islets had disappeared suddenly
and in manner that relied explana-
ton.
AS soon as he returned to Sleeping
Bear Point Captain Lafherg sent word
to Washington that in his opinion a
great disaster was in store for South
Manitou Island. He said that the wa
ter at points about the land had in
creased in depth from three to thirty
feet, and that the bed of the lake was
greatly changed.

there had been only such changes as
were caused by the wind and waves.
The buoys now anchored in the pas
sage between the Manitou Islands and
Sleeping Bear have for many years

lieved by vessel men that the channel
is wide enough to prevent any serious
trouble to navigation, even though the
island may disappear
Lake captains fear that, even if the
entire island Is not destroyed, the
splendid harbor of South Manitou will
be ruined by the sinking of the two

ginning of navigation upon the Great
Lakes the harbor has been a shelter in
time Of storms Hedged in on three
sides by the island, the deep water has
afforded secure place, even for the
biggest boats. During the squally sea-
son the harbor is often crowded with
craft Of every size and kind. The big
freighters and the fishing boats alike
run for the place.

COAL! COAL! COALM!

An Anonymous Communication Re-

The following printed circular. bav-

found in every alderman's chair when
the board of aldermen meeting was

city not to purchase coal to relieve

I. Thou shalt have no other Coal
Dealer but me.
y II. Thou shalt not bear witness in
regard to the amount of coal now in thy
cellar, or thou shalt surely be cut off
from further supply.
1II.-Thou shalt not allow thy fire to
burn at night, for I, thy dealer, know
just how much thou shouldst burn, and
will visit thee with sore affiiction for
doing otherwise.
". Even though thy bin be empty,
thou shalt not say so openly, because
this reflects upon the ability of thy
dealer, who has been in the business
forty years and knows it all.
X Il,
thy dealer in vain, because thy local
dealer is a jealous man and desires to
be left alone to enjoy all he can get.
VI. Thou shalt not allow thy hired
girl to use more than one bucket per
day in the kitchen, for 1, thy dealer,
have proved in mine own house that to
burn more is waste, and have given
strict orders to chase any girl breaking
this commandment.
WI. Thou shalt call the aldermen
"fools'' for advising the city to pur-
chase foreign coal, and hold firmly that
the member of the Board of Finance
who upheld them should be sent to
Middletown.

could charge thee twenty-five, but for
fear of a riot keep it at the limit.
x. Thou shalt not have a thermom-

A RAVEN STORY.
A Fight to Drive Their Young Biri
AWaY

sit was an incident of his 0he old
shepherds boyhood which had very
deeply impressed him. One fine day he
was on the down with an elder brother,
when they heard the familiar croak and
a fight in the air. Two Of the birds were
in pursuit Of the third, and rose alter
nately to rush upon and strike ut their
victim from above. They were coming
down from a considerable height, and at
last were directly over the boys, not
more than forty or fifty feet from the
ground; and the youngsters We're amazed
at their fury. the loud rushing sound of
their wings, as Of torrent, and of their
deep hoarse croak and savage barking
cries. Then they began to rise again, the
hunted bird trying to keep above his enc
mics, they in turn striving to rise higher
still so as to rush down upon him from
overhead; and in this way they lowered
higher and higher, their barking cries
until the boys. not to lose sight of them,
cast themselves down fat on their backs,
and, continuing to gaze up, saw them at
last no bigger than three little black
birds:
lying on their backs kept their eyes fixed
on the same spot, and by and by first one
black speck reappeared, then second,
and they soon saw that two birds were
swiftly coming down to earth. They fell
sliftly and silently, and finally pitched
upon the down not more than a couple of
hundred yards from the boys. The hunt
ed bird had evidently succeeded in throw
ing them off and escaping. Probably it
was one of their own young, for the raw
ems habit is when their young are fully
grown to hunt them out of the neighbour
hood, or when they cannot drive them to
kill them."-W. II. Hudson in Long
mans Magazine.
