The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1909-05-29

True to their reputation of being able
to give plays that please, the L'Anse
High School students reproduced the
farce comedy, Sowing Wild Oats, "
in the Opera House yesterday evening.
That the play was good is putting it
q little mildly, for, considering that
only members Of the school were en-
ployed, it was one of the best ever seen
in L'Anse.
A fine attendance was reported and
many Of the people stayed for the social
hop, which took place Immediately after
the performance.
A tidy sum was realized by this
entertainment, which will go toward
the supporting of the track team dur
ing the coming season.

Pequamins railroad being Built.

Last week, the firm Of Charles
Hebard & Son, Inc, Of Pequaming
started crew Of 500 men to work, under
the foremanship Of Oliver Morris, cut
ting and grading the right-of-way for
logging railroad, which is to run from
Pequsming to Sec. 16, Township 81 N,
Range 81 w. in Arvon township.
The surveying for the road has been
in progress for some time under the
direction of F. E. Simar, of Calumet.
This railroad will run into the heart
of q large and unlimited tract of mixed
timber and when completed, will make
it possible to strip the forest complete
ly, and will also be an immense saving
for the company, as they will not lose
any logs in this manner. Heretofore
the firm has been hampered in rafting
these logs, both by sinkage and break
ing of booms.
The road, when completed, will be
eleven miles long, and from time to
time, as the available timber is cut,
will be extended further back into the
woods.
In the way of material, Lima en-
gine arrived in L'Anse last week, and
another has been ordered. Part of the
rails and ties are on the scene of
operations, and fast as these are used,
they will be replenished. Necessary cars
have been purchased and will arrive be-
fore the road is completed, which will
be in about three months.

Baseball Season Opens.

A fast game of base ball, between
the L'Anse H. S. team and boys
town team, took place in L'Anse Satur-
day afternoon last, thereby opening the
season for this vicinity.
The High School team were easy
victors, by the score of l6 to 8, but at
times the game looked somewhat doubt
full to the enthusiastic fan.
A practice track meet was scheduled
to follow the game, but, on account of
some misunderstanding, failed to take
place.

MOST RENOWNED OF SNAKES
Versatile Monster, Which Was Known
as the God AescuIapius, Ac-
cording to Lucian.

No snake that ever lived won great
er fame for the time than AleXander's.
Lucian tells the story, George Harvey
says in the North American Review.
Apollonius, a master of the magic
arts, had many disciples, among
whom was practicIng physician who
lived in Abonotichus, a small town
on the shore of the Black sea. There
Alexander was born of humble parent
age and imbibed from the old doctor
all that he had learned from Apol-
lonius of medicine and magic. Soon
he fell in with one Cocconas, shrewd
tipster for the races and somewhat
OF juggler. The two rogues joined
folHes and meandered about telling
fortunes. Arriving at Pella, they
found a great number of huge, harm
less snakes, which lived in the houses,
played and slept with the children and
destroyed poisonous rats. Alexander
promptly purchased one of the largest,
veritable monster, so tame that it
would coil about his body and remain
in any desired position Then he
made human face for it out of linen,
painted it ingeniously, and shaped it
SO that the mouth would open and
shut by an arrangement of horsehair,
letting the forked tongue shoot in and
out at the will of the master. Hav-
ing no further use for Coconnas, he
either administered poison to him or
let him die from some infection and
returned with his snake to his ma
tive town. There he declared himself
prophet and announced that the god
Aesculapius was about to appear. The
| people were credulous, excitable and
eager for a new divinity.
When the great day arrived Alexan-
der pretended to discover in puddle

placed there after removing the con-
tents, substituting a small embryo

the shell with wax. When the multi.

and produced the tiny creature, which
In few moments grew to be the

NOT THE GENERALS cow
Amusing Complication That Followed
Soldiers Strict Obedience of
Orders Given Him.

The first and the last duty of COM
mon soldier is to obey orders. Nor is
he allowed to put upon his orders a
construction that might suit cases not
anticipated. This, however, sometimes
leads to amusing results, as in an
instance told by L. A. Tollemandle
in his recent book, "Old and Odd
Memories
THE scene of one of my fathers
anecdotes was laid in southern sea-
port town, where long ago a general
and an admiral We're neighbors. The
generals house was fronted by a
grass-plot, on which he claimed the
right to pasture COW.
"One day his wife complained that
the supply of milk was falling off
The sentinel accounted for the def.
cheney by saying that the grass had
lately been much trodden down by the
public.
"The martial despot immediately
gave orders that no animal, human or
other, except the COW, should be al
lowed on the grass-plot; and he added
men were not particular in those
days-that if this rule We're infringed
the sentinel should be fogged.
"Soon afterward the admiraps wife
having pressing engagement, took
short cut over the grass in disregard
of the sentinel's repeated order to
halt.

Partition of Poland.

The partition of Poland is generally
understood to have originated with
Frederick the Great of Prussia, and
he and Catherine of Russia and Maria
Theresa OF Austro-Hungary entered
into it. The Poles were SO weakened
that they could make no effective re-
sistance, SO the royal robbers each
seized certain provinces in l772. In
1892 another partition was made by
Russia and Prussia only, and in 1895
Poland was destroyed altogether as
an independent nation, and its re.
naming territory was divided among
Its three neighbors.
