The 10 Statues Michigan Has Err
ected to Public Men.

From the Detroit Journall.
The prospectus Of forthcoming
work on American biography has as a
unique feature list Of all the statues
erected In the United States with
their location and the names OF the
personages TO whom they are erected.
The idea seems to be that. as per-
sonage held worthy 70 have statue

worthy of a place in u work on bio

Of the value and completeness Of the
work 20 which the prospectus directs
attention. The list has value ON it's
own account and has been prepared
with such care and brought mp 10 80
recent a date as to include statues for
which the award has been made but
which are as yet uncompleted as well
as statues already in place.

city OF Washington stands at the head

this sort All surviving statesmen have
an ambition TO be represented when
dead by statue at some street corner
or In some circle at the capital, but
the chance which additional statues
there will have of passing practically
unnoticed can be seen from the fact
that the enumerated statues in Wash

pany. Under this name. the steel
trust controls large share Of the iron
mines OF the Menominee and Mesaba
range and IL now has the greater share
of the standing timber now located in
Menominee county.
The immense quantities OF timber
used by the steel corporation for tim
bering mp their mines and for fuel
made the purchase Of this immense
tract necessary. The big mining com
pany IL expected to begin operations at
cutting the timber.
Investigations made by expert lum.
bermen show that the big iron mines
OF northern Michigan use about 90 per
cent round timber TO about 40 per cent
square. The difference In the price Of
producing this is considerable as the
round timber can be gotten out for
about one-fourth as much as the
square. However, there are sone
places In which the round timber can
not be used. and the square as 10 be Sc

seen that only fair PERCENTAGE OF the
timber on this tract will be cut up ia

POWER OF SENTIMENT.

Has the strenuousness of life.
toe rush of practical operations
destroyed all love for sentiment?
Not at all. Gull bouquet of rare
mental flowers, color them with
the tender hues of sofest heart
throbs. perfume them with the
incense of burnt offerings from
thh inner shrine of tine soul and
scatter them broadcast out into
the world. The man bowed with
the weight of worldly cares or
business pursuits will thrill at the
loveliness and beauty of the Lam
guage tints and inhale into his
hungry heart the delicate perfun :
cry of their feeling. 1t awakens
the inspiration of some long-for-
gotten thought or concealed en-
otion and his thirsty soul drinks
in the cooling aud refreshing
draught of some brighter days.
some tender memory that has
been concealed by the accumulat-
ed cobwebs of neglect and cover
ed by the dust of forgetfulness.
All. no. Sentiment can never die.
Its waves come through the vista
of years in sounds of sweetest
melody and touching the heart
chords. evoke from the silent
strings harmony that is eEtrlnc-
ing and irresistible in its tender
sweetness.
