Tree Long Displaced by Pine, Now
Building Cities Where Once
Forests Stood.

Bangor, Me.-The swarms of visitors
who come to Maine in summer and the
thousands of sportsmen who come in
autumn bring a great deal Of money
into the state, and some statisticians
have declared that from these two
classes is derived a greater revenue
than from any one of the states great
industries. But while the summer
visitors and the sportsmen are a great
financial help to Maine, their presence
is Of small Importance compared with
the spruce tree.
While It was the pine that made pos
sible the once prosperous West India
trade and built up Names shipping in
the days before the Civil war, 1t never
in all the years of its pre-eminence
accomplished half so much for the
land Of its birth as the coarse-grained
spruce. For while the pine built ships
and individual fortunes had made
West India rum as cheap as cider all
along the seaboard, the spruce has
built towns In the midst Of the wilder
ness, like Rumford Falls and Mill
nocket; brought outside millions Of
capital to Maine and given popular
literature an amazing boom.
Millinocket, on the west branch Of
the Penobscot, is one of the spruce
towns. A few years ago 1t consisted
of flag station and one Indian hut.
The Indian murdered a Spaniard and
was sent to states prison, and the hut
was burned, leaving only the flag sta
ton and the man who tended it. Then
big paper corporation looked the
ground over, saw a fine chance to
make pulp, and built an immense mill
Then came the town. 1t is called "the
magic CITY," because it came into ex
istence so suddenly.
The pulp and paper mill, which eats
up about 100000 feet of logs yearly
employs in one capacity or another
about 1000 men, and there are in the
town $500 people. Where bears and
moose roamed dozen years ago
there are now streets lined witt
stores, dwellings,, schoolhouses, hotels
and churches, and lighted with elec
tricity

New York.-Following the recent

MITCHELL GIRL
WILL SING HERE

Among the many interesting fea-
lures that have been secured for the
corn palace season is the Lyric Sex
tette of Chicago, composed of two la
dies and four gentlemen. Miss Mae
WEIGH is the c%ontralto singer of the
sextette and she is a Mitchell girl.
Getting her early training in music
in this city under Miss Grace Goody-
koontz and then finishing her work
under otner tutors in Chicago, Miss
WEIGH has become quite famous in
musical circles in the windy city
through her solo work and with the
Lyric Sextette, which has filled many
important engagements during the
past two or three years that it has
been singing in public.
The many warm friends of the
young lady will give her a hearty
greeting when She makes her initial
appearance in the city. During one
of the out-of-town engagements the
Sextette sang at St. Joseph, Mich,
and the Evening Press made the fol-
lowing comment on the singing of
Miss WEIGH:
miss May Welch has a contralto
voice Of great richness, wide range
and power. charms her audience by
the earnestness and simplicity of her
manner. The Aria from Mignon
"Dost Thou Know That Fair Land
she sang with thrilling and powerful
effect. AS a final favor to her list
eners, she sang "Annie Laurie" with
such sweetness and charm as to bring

NOISE AND LIGHT MISSED.
Why Some Townspeople Are Unable
 to Live in the Country.

to Live in the Country.
 (From the London Daily Mail.)
 The necessity which some people feel for noisy surroundings was men toned by famous specialist in giv- ing a medical explanation of the case of little Horace Collins, the heroic messenger boy. The lad. although able to grAtify every wish as the guest of. Lord Lansdowne at Bowood House, has. a mastering longing for the hustle and light. of the London streets.
 Tt is a very clear case of nostai- gia,'' said the doctor. "A person suf- feEing like that has lost two everyday friends, as it were-noise and light. 1t is entirely due to the nerves Our ced groove in accordance with the everyday condition under which we live. A sudden change in living throws the nervous system out of gear. Both light and noise are nervous stimuli to people who live amid noise and light. Take away the comradeship of noise and light, and the nervous system loses two stimulants necessary to It's we'll being and suffers in consequence.
 with the boy Collins the fact that he does not see policemen troubles him, because policemen to him have become an important part of the natural scheme of things.
 "A very similar case occurred with a London housekeeper of mine. She was sent away to the country, and simply could not endure to live there. She missed the companionship of noise so much that she had to be brought back to town again quickly, for her health was beginning to suf- fer"
