Charles Follen Adams succeeded so
well with his characteristic German
dialect verses. and was able to pro-
duce many other poems almost
equally as good as his 'Leedle

delight in reading these fugitive
verses, and wrote Adams: Il hope

And an interesting feature OF the

mere tancy OF the poet, but was sug-

Another peculiar thing about the
authors having adapted the Ger

he did not have a drop of German
blood in his veins. He never lived
amid German surroundings. He was
. emphatically American. for his men
and women ancestors took no small
part in American affairs when the
country was young. Then how did
he happen TO employ the delicious

ing a new building in the near future
considered. Last October commit

| high schools OF several upper penin-
sula towns where the most modern and
up to date buildings and equipment are
maintained, with a view to securing
ideas which may be adopted when the

the committee is was impossible to
