, A FoEgy Story.

In London an American, boastfng OF
the superiority of his country, was in,
terrupted by an Englishman, who said:
'"There's one thing in which this coun
try surpasses America. You never saw
on the other side of the Atlantic any
fog that could match the one which
hangs over London tonight
Fog! Fog"' came the unhesitating
reply of the irate American. why,
this is nothing compared with some Of
the fogs we have around New York
harbor. Sometimes the fog is so thick
around there that it's common thing
Tor the captains Of the ferryboats to
put on extra crews simply to pump the
fog out of the cabins. Why, there's q
corporation organizing in New Jersey
right now to can American fog and
supply the British people with the Tea

above all things else. this power to
save us from its perilS. We need TO
0TIng our life into closer touch with
great moral ideas and open it to moral
influences. Religious aims give right
direction to our energies and ambi-
lions. The Christian ideal and power
Will save US from that SelfiShness
which is the one greet cause of all the
evils and sufferings of society. The
only real solution of our Industrial and
social problems is Il moral one We
believe that men everywhere ale awak-
ing TO recognize this, and that many in
Grand Rapids realize that its real
welfare depends on the moral Develop
ment OF the people more than Unany-
thing else. and knowing this they feel
1t to be their duty to rally round the
churches, to give them every possible
encouragement and support in their
great work
POSSIBILITY OF AN IDEAL CITY.
Our city is growing rapidly, and this
fact imposes a new and larger reSpOn-
Siblllty upon US. to sec that the sup
RENE, controlling and guiding forces
OF the future shall be moral-that it
shall be built of an ideal city. The
message of the churches is a gospel of
love and brotherhood; their ministers
preach righteousness. the supreme
necessity that Christ shall be incarnate
in human life, that when we open our
hearts to receive his spirit we become
new men and have the power to create
heaven on earth-tO change the cry
of suffering into an anthem of Joy.
IhlS message must surely appeal to all
who care for the best interests of this
community. May there be a wider
response to it. May this New Year
witness a great moral and religious
awakening. May every man feel anew
sense of his responsibility to society.
and by his example lead the way to
all those things that will help to build
an ideal city.

A FEW years ago the balsam fir tree
was considered one of the most worth
less of forest trees , but since the
growth Of the Christmas tree in
dustry it has taken on an added value.
The contractors pay from to cents
apiece for the small trees and from Is
to 40 cents for the larger ones. This
price seems insignificant when taken
alone, but when it is considered that
from 5000 to 1000 trees will grow on
an acre and that the trees can be
raised on land worthless for anything
else it is a different story. The cut
ting age is from seven years UP. 1t is
estimated that the people of Maine
will receive 100000 this year from the
industry.

We asked the privilege of announcing
TO the public, through our journal, the
contemplated improvements to be
made the coming year by the CONSOLE
dated Water Power and Paper COM
pany. The request was granted and
he then gave us the full particulars.
For further information he referred US
to their architect. j. G.. Jacobson. and
others. He also said that he would
leave that evening for Chicago to con-
fer with the railroad officials of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Company in reference to their side
track which leads to the cOmpany's
property in this city Mr.. Johnson in
tended to return the following Tues
day morning. We took special notice
and later tod others of the excellent
humor Mr. Johnson was in during this
meeting. He was particularly cheer
full and satisfied in the thought that
the water power in which he had so
long been interested was finally to be
developed. and this thought was
great relief to his mind. We little
thought then chat it would be our
last visit with him and it only goes to
prove how uncertain life is.

KENOSHA ALSO INTERESTED.
"Kenosha is taking a very active
interest in the trial Of Laura Biggar,
which is now in session at Freehold,

James Wilkes Mcconnell. OF Kenosha,
the former husband of MiSS Biggar, is
now making IN effort to assist his
former wife to secure her rights in the
settlement of the Bennett estate, and
more especially on account of the fact
that it is reported that Mr.. Mcconnell
and Mrs. Bennetr will be married a
second time and will return to Wis
consin to make their home. Mr.. Nc
COnnell has been a member of the
William Owen theatrical company for
the past five or six years. For some
time, according to the Claims of the
KenoSha friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Conneil, the couple have been plan
ming reconciliation. and the matter
would probably have been adjusted
earlier had it not been for the arrest
of Miss Biggar on a charge Of con-
spiracy: Mr.. Mcconnell and his wife
have been separated for nearly seven
years and during this time the mar
riage to Bennett is alleged to have
occurred There is a great tie between
the two in the way OF the boy Willis
