Charming Resort.

| ohlawassee county people will all be
interested in short description of tbe
new summer hotel recently opened by
y. l.. Bristol, former county school com.
nk ssloner at Beulah, Benzie county.
Mr.. bristoFse1ected an ideal spot for a
summer resort. The site may at first
seem little removed from the village
mile north-but it will be only few
years when the shores of Crystal Lake
Will be built up with summer cottages
and it will then be found that the hotel
could not have been better located.
Ihe view of the lake from the Winde-
mere Is not excelled from any point on
the lake, as practically the entire BODY
OF water, nearly nine miles long, can be
seen at glance. Not the least of the
attractions is the beautiful forest of GO
acres which lies to the north and east of
the hotel-a natural park requiring
scarcely any improvement to make it
most charming spot for anyone who ad-
mlres the beauties of nature.
The main building of the Windemere
is lS feet in width by 100 in length and
two stories high. A 12-foot porch and
veranda extends the entire length of the
building on its west or front side and a
similar one s feet in width extends
along the east side or rear An outside
stairway connects the lower porch with
the veranda above, which affords the
means for communication between the
lower and upper floors. The rooms on
the ground floor average about 10 feet
in width by Is in length, and open upon
both the front and rear porches. The
floors OF the porch and lower rooms are
built of cement. The plan of the upper
rooms are similar to those below. The
Office is situated in the south end Of the
building on the ground floor A short
distance from the hotel fine spring OF
pure water bubbles up, which furnishes
water for the hotel.
About 800 feet north of the main

stands the dining hall This building is
30 feet square, and like its larger neigh
Dor, painted white. 1t is divided into
two parts, the dining room (2Ox30) on
the west side overlooking the lake, and
the kitchen qOx3O) on the east. About
30 feet from this building is another
ine spring which furnishes the purest
water obtainable.
The hotel is well furnished through
'ut, everything being new and selected
With the view of making all guests as
as possible. The table
ervice is excellent, far better than that

Dickens Still Great.
His Genius Shines on the Stage Even
When Anused.

THE reception of Emily at the Adel-
phi Theater was a striking tribute to
the genius Of Charles Dickens. AYERS
william Archer in the World" Not
that Messrs. Warren and Landeck's s
dramatization Of David CopperheId' did
any more justice to the great novel than
previous adaptations have done. It Is
reasonably good. no more.
The truth is that every dramatic ver-
sion necessarily throws into relief the
weaker side OF Dickens art, because it
necessarily seizes upon and exaggerates
the theatrical element in II. The proof
of his genius lies In the fact that though
only the weaker side is presented TO US
that weaker side Is so strong and so
human and above all so intimately as

In the "A Son OF Rest" company. now

curing in the article. The other even
ing Miss Manning approached George II.
Broadhurst, while that gentleman y as
watching the performance from the

thus:
"Oh. Mr.. Broadhurst, did you see the
notice I gOt?"
The playwright confessed that he had
not seen the notice"
"Oh. yes" continued Miss Manning,
"the paper said looked like a lamp
shade. Now what do you think they
meant by that?"
A bland smile overspread Mr. Broad

replied:
THE only solution which occurs TO me
at the moment is that perhaps they were

" Inferior geniuses may upon "hor-

cannot do this. They mistake quantity

dignity. their affrIghtments are without

1T is possible that Mr.. Bourchier
