MICHIGAN's LOST LAND.
Curious boundary Dispute Between

wisconsin and Wolverine state.
The project to appoint a joint COM
mission of the States Of Michigan and
Wisconsin to examine into and correct
what Is declared to be an engineers
error In marking the boundaries Of the
two States sixty-six years ago is up
again. Peter White is interested in
the matter and wants the Legislature
to vest him with authority to try
and secure the consent of the Wiscon-
Sill Legislature for a commission
George Ii. Cannon, a retired sur
veyor, now In his eighty-frst year, liv-
! ing on a farm near the village of
Washington, In Macomb County, who
spent the ten years from 1850 to 1860
on government surveys In the upper
peninsula, has given the subject a good
deal of consideration, and he is con-
vinced that because of the error In the
original government boundary survey
there are now in Wisconsin about 600
square miles, including some prosper
GUS towns and villages, that rightfully
belong to Michigan He wrote an ex-
haustive paper to show that the sur
veyor took a wrong terminal In run

States and the mistake has never been
corrected. This paper is printed In

facts are cleaned:

HOME FROM ADAM TILL NOW.
Place Where Painters and Plumbers

Place Where Painters and Plumbers
Meet at Intervals.
The home is supposed to be a place
where children can congregate, pro-
tected from the allurements Of the
world and the advice of the neighbors.
and where parents can quarrel judi
clously without too much interruption,
says Life. In reality, however, the
home is place where decorators, paint
ers, furniture men and plumbers meet
at intervals In order that they may re-
vel IN luxury of their own.
Homes have been in vogue for some
little time. Adam and Eve started the
first one, and it would have been we'll

to send out the washing. Thus the SER

A home is what is left after you have
paid the taxes. the interest on the mort
gage and the lnstallment man. To own
more than one home is not to have any.
Homes were at one time popular In
this country. When. by going out In
the back yard to milk the COW, one was
IN danger of being scalped, the home
was at the height of its popularity.
Owing, however, to the decreasing de-
mand for babies and the increasing
demand for alimony, homes are being
locked upon with disfavOr
In the suburbs the home still flick
ers on, kept alive by certain instincts
handed down from a past age.
1t is impossible at present to say
Just how long the home will continue
to exist. 1t is hard to raise children
and mortgages at the same time.
1t Is quite evident that cooks and
children are gradually disappearing
This greatly slmplifies the problem.
In all probability the race Of the fu
ture will be divided into two classes
those who, having become worn out
looking for servants, are now In sani
tarlums being taken care of by the
government, and those who still con

NOVEL CURES FOR SNORING.
Case of Offending Policeman sug-
gests Remedies for Disease.

Case of Offending Policeman SuE-
gests Remedies for Disease.
Very many of our readers will be
interested in the ultimate fate Of the
unfortunate snoring policeman who has
been banished from his fellow sleepers
and Gagged at night in sound-proof quar-
tiers. Perhaps the dreadful indrmity,
now that 1t has the official recognition
of his superiors, may call for some
suitable scientific treatment. If so the
great army OF snorers can cOvertly
watch the outcome with all the cunning
and complacency of undiscovered trans
gressors.
We are glad we can make the start
with a perfectly fair case, for convic-
ton of the nuisance is always most diff
ficult to obtain. The cuiprit must be
caught with the snore on him and in
the presence Of reliable ear witnesses
Nc one has ever been known to &C
knowledge his fault voluntarily. On
the contrary, one of the surest signs OF
the confirmed malady is his persistent
denial of its existence. He is not salts
fed TO plead lack Of reconciliation and
absence of accountability, but openly
impugns the motives of his clamorou'
accusers. The worst Of 1t is that on al
other matters he is perfectly reason
able This makes 1t extremely diff
cult to obtain his consent for treatment
OF any sort

OF Madison county, who Is now living
In Gainesville, that a difficulty arose
between Graham and King, as they
came out of stream or pond, whore
