way reach the great Messasehs: or
even If he thought that such would be
the case, did any one know how far

there came time in the afternoon o.
that day, even as the chant OF the
voyageurs still echoed on the wooded
bluffs. and even as the great birch bark
ship still responded swiftly to their
gaiety, when, on sudden turn in the
arm Of the river, there appeared wide
before them scene for which they
had not been prepared. There, rip

sea, they saw a majestic food, whose
real nature and whose name each man

"Messasebe! Messasebe!" broke out
the voices Of the paddlers.

John Law rose in the bow OF the

noble prospect which lay before him.

Couldn't Under.tand II.

The experiences of clerks with their
customers are very peculiar, but the
best that l have yet heard was related
to me yesterday by clerk in one of
our local stores. One day last week a
large healthy looking man, whose talk
would give one to understand that he
was north Of Highlander. came into
the store and wanted stiff hat. When
the clerk asked him what size he
wanted, he said that he did not know,
as he had never worn hat. The clerk
told him that he would take about size
seven. which proved to be the right
size. After buying the hat he told the
clerk that he wanted stiff collar, but
he said that he did not know what size
he should require, as he had never
worn high collar in his life. The
clerk told him that he would require
about a size Is. "What?" exclaimed
the astonished purchaser. "How the
dickens do you make that out; me have
to wear size Is collar and size z
hat? Do you think my neck is larger
than my head?"-Lowell Citizen.

Flood Create. a Nation.

Owing to a disagreement between
Austria and Servia the folk who have
taken up their residence on a certain
little island in the Danube pay no taxes
and acknowledge allegiance to nobody
The island, which has very appro-
priately been called Nobody's island
was formed many years ago by the
accumulation of mud and sand carried
down by the great river during flood
Since then Austria and Servia have
been quarreling about its possession.
At low water the island is almost con-
nected with the Servian shore by a
narrow tongue of sand. while at high
water 1t lies nearer the Austrian island
of Osztrovaer. Consequently no one
can decide to whom it really belongs:
and, as the island is not worth enough
to make it advisable for the Seryiap
or the Austrian government to fight
over its possession, the Inhabitants are
left entirely to themselves Stray

Of the pleasant customs of the wilder

"Greysolon and his men revived this
savage in some fashion, and meantime
had much speech with him about this
unknown land at whose edge we have
now arrived. The old savage said that
he had been many moons north and
west of that place. He knew of the
river called the Blue Earth, perhaps
the same Of which Father Hennepin
Las told. And also of the Divine river,
far below and tributary to the Mes
sasebe. He said that his father was
once Of q war party who went far to
the north against the Ojibways, and
that his people took from the Ojibways
one of their prisoners, who said that
he came from some strange country far
to the westward. where there was q
very wide plain, of no trees. Beyond
that there were great mountains, taller
than any to be found in all this region
hereabout. Beyond these mountains
the prisoner did not know what there
might be, but these mountains his peo-
pie took to be the edge of the world.
beyond which could live only wicked
spirits. This was what the prisoner
of the ojibways said. He. too. was an
old man.
"The captive of my brother Grey
scion was an Outagamie, and he said
that the Outagamies burned this pris-
oner of the Ojibways, for they knew
that he was surely lying to them.
Without doubt they did quite right to
burn him, for the notion of great
open country without trees or streams
Is, Of course, absurd to any one who
knows America. And as for noun
tains. all men know that the noun
tains lie to the east of us, not to the
westward"

Law, "this information which comes
