The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1903-12-05

Robert Clark, of Calumet, a twelve
year-old boy met death in a peculiar
manner Monday morning. He was
smothered under pile OF snow be.
fore help could reach him. He and
two companions built a house oil
snow in vacant lot near their
homes, and while playing about in
it the roof and sides collapsed and
imprisoned the youngsters. Two Of
them managed to crawl out, but
young Clark was not SO fortunate.
Instead OF attempting to dig him
out, his excited playmates ran for
assistance. They went some dis
lance before they came upon two
men, to whom they told their story.
The men FASTENED to the place, but
when the boy was taken out OF the
ruins of the snow house life was
extinct.

TAUGHT AMERICAN MANNERS
Male Immigrants Receive . Forcible
Lesson ~ Soon as They Reach
Oar Gates.

The first lesson n American manners
learned by the male immigrants is usu-
ally impaired at the gates Of Ellis island.
Having passed inspection. proved his
fitness to become an American citizen
and received his discharge from guard
ianship, he marshals his family and
starts for the boat landing. says the New
York Post. He leads the group him
self. conducting the youngest walking
member Of the family. and carrying a
bag or small parcel in his hand. Be-
hind him trot the children, all laden.
then the wife, bending beneath a huge
bundle Of household goods or even a
heavy trunk. Last Of all staggers the
grandmother. literally bent double un-
der the load she carries.
Suddenly the head of the family is
rudely accosted In an unknown tongue
by one Of the officials of the island
There Is nothing unintelligible in the
manner in which the said officer re-
lieves the mother and grandmother of
their burdens and the Immigrant, to his
amusement. finds himself finishing his
journey to the boat carrying the heay-
lest Of the load on his own unaccus-
toned shoulders. while the Oldest boys
shoulder the rest. This is an everyday
occurrence at Ellis island.

WANDERING NIGHT HERoNs.
An Interestisg Experiment with the
Birds by the Smithsonian
Institution.

Eight hundred night herons are wan
dering free about the United States,
each wearing on one leg an aluminium
hand-inscribed Smithsonian Institu-
ton" and a number. If any person
shoots one of these birds he should
write to Paul Bartsch, biologist of the
Smithsonian, telling him where 1t was
and how. large was the bird. The night
heron is one of the most beautiful Of
the aquatic birds Of America, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, but scientists
know less about it than they are salts
fed with.
Last year Mr.. Bartsch discovered
several of these birds on the Potomac.
in the District of Columbia. Recently
he visited the place with several assist
ants in the night, and the 500 alumni
ium bands were fastened to the legs
Of as many young herons. Scientists
are anxious to know how long the
night heron lives, where It spends the
winters and how much of the country
II covers in It's wanderings. 1t In be-
lieved that by the time few of the
numbered aluminium bands have been
reported some Of these facts will have
been established to the satisfaction
Of the Psychologists.

PRINCES SELF EFFACEMEKT.
King Edward's Sensible Course VALE
His Royal Mother Was
On Earth.

Tho world Is beginning to realize
the king. 1t took some time to do so.
There were plenty of people who had
grown so accustomed to the self-ef-
facement which the king had prac-
ticed so long as prince of Wales dur
ing the lifetime of his mother as to
have come to the conclusion that in
ell the serious affairs of his Kingdom
the king would count for little, says
London M. A. p. Mind you, there
were some ground for this assump-
ton. 1t is not generally known that
this self-effacement was the result not
merely of the princes own act and
respect for his mother, but also Of
deliberate ministerial act. Some time
in the seventies the question was
raised whether. as the prince was
practically performing all the cere-
monial duties of royalty, he should
not also share in some of its political
responsibilities. One of the first things
to be done II this question were de-
cided in the affirmative was TO In
trust to the prince large amount
of secret official knowledge-impor-
tant foreign Office dispatches, for ex.
ample-which up to that time were
submitted to the eyes of the queen
alone. It is scarcely credible, but
have every reason to believe II Is true,
that the cabinet, after they had de-
bated the question very seriously and
very thoroughly. came to the conclu'
sion that 1t would be a violation of con.
stitutional usage to give the prince
of Wales this information. The king
accepted the decision with the good
sense which he always displays
good sense typical of the nation tc
which he so thoroughly belongs; and
went on his way, content to be q
spectator of the great drama going
on Immediately around him. and Il
be left to his own resources for the
gaining of knowledge Of the secre
springs and unavowed motives o.
great political events.

The following from an unknown
author is one of the prettiest SER
mons eyer printed in so few words:
II saw dancing bubble upon the
silvery surface of restless river.
For o moment it sparkled with
golden light as it caught the SUM-
shines glory, and / thought how
beautiful it was. Then it went
down, down! For a moment the
river told me where it vanished,
and then swept on without cen a
rpple on its placid bosom. And
thought how like our lives was the
bubble on the river. For a moment
we sparkle in our tiny spheres-hope
and toll and struggle, love and song
and dream and then go down be-
meath the surface forever. In a
short time the tiny ripples we have
caused die out, and the great river
OF humanity flows undisturbed. So
let US strive with our brief existence
to reflect only sunshine, not mirror
tn clouds above u.s.

1t costs the United States govern
ment about $1,000 q year per mau
to maintain the regular army at Its
present strength, which is 3d. 8l.
The cost of the government for the
militia force OF the United States,
which according to the latest re-
ports numbers 1858 officers and
men is but $40 per man. Secretary
Root, OF the war department, In
his forthcoming annual report will
recommend that the several states
be encouraged to increase their ma
tional guard strength so that the
total force will be approximately
10000. The $1,000 per man for
maintaining the regular army is
computed from the total expense OF
maintaining the war department.
Michigan is one OF III states having
the greatest number of men within
the militia age.
Under the heading deficiencies
the adjutant- general has this to say
about Michigan's national guard;
"All the companies have gallery
practice and gallery ranges. Few
companies have ranges for rifle
practice and none with range ex-
ceeding 500 yards, but rifle practice
is carried on during the annual en-
campment. Preliminary drills aud
exercises have been almost neg
lected.
