|IIlED HIS WAY THROUGH
WILDERNESS LONG AGO
David +. Coleman. Resident Of
township &c Years, Has
Vivid Memories.

PORTLAND, Mich. Oct ls.-In
DAVID p. Coleman. Orange township
|I6 Ms oldest living settler. Families
have migrated 10 that township from
many parts OF the country, others
have sought locations elsewhere. but
David H. Coleman has remained IN
hat section almost continuously for
S. years, and Is still satisfied with
bis lot.
Mr. Coleman. who is not only the
Oldest living pioneer OF the township
west OF Portland, but who Is perhaps
one Of the Oldest OF. Ionia county, was
born IN Jefferson county, N. u, 81
years ago. Even at this advanced
age he Is still exceedingly active and
does the work on his farm with the
tieor OF youth This was also char
ncieristic OF his brother. the late Eli
Coleman. who scame TO be one of the
most prosperous farmers OF this sec
lion.
In 1s45 Mr. and Mrs. Beckett Cole
man came 10 Michigan with their
two sons. David and Eli, and settled
on the S0-acre farm on section 26,
Orange. which the latter son owned
at the time of his death. The Cole
mans gave a new wagon for the ten
acres OF ground upon which the home
stead now stands. Father and two
sons cleared the tract OF land them.
selves, and with the crude tools used
IN those days the task was exceed
lngly difficult. and but little Roadway
could be made.
In the spring OF 1916 the first town
ship meeting was held in Orange, and
Mr. Coleman remembers distinctly
when his father went to the polls to
vote. There were only two shanties
IN the township then, but 16 men were
possessed OF the necessary qualihca-
lions OF electors, and this number
made up the days polling. H. A. Hall
was elected supervisor and John
Brown clerk
Schools were q rarity those DAYS,
and at the age of Is Mr.. Coleman
cut wood for Orrin Merchant. father
Of Watson Merchant, so that he might
obtain some sort OF an education. Dur
ing the winter OF 1S49-50 Mr.. Coleman
Joined the ranks of the lumbermen
near Grand Haven. He was employed
III this capacity for about two years,
although he returned to the Orange
home at frequent intervals. He be-
came an expert at riding logs and
there were but few men on the force
who could approach him in this tact.
II was while thus employed that he
suirered an injury to one of HIS limbs,
and has been lame ever since.
Fifty years ago last February Mr..
Coleman was married to Miss Phile-
nd Smith, OF Orange township, and
one daughter. Mrs. Eda Carr, was
born 10 them When the civil war
broke out not long after their mar
fiage Mr.. Coleman attempted to en-
list with the Twenty.frst Michigan,
bnt was thrown out of the service on
account OF his lameness
Two years ago Mr.. Coleman lost
the sight Of his right eye, but says
there Is still enough left Of han to
work the farm In Orange, read the
newspaper and keep abreast of the
times. He has worked under many
hardships to obtain what property he
now holds and enjoys life to the full
est extent. now that the difficulties en-
countered In the pioneer days are past.

MARY ANDERSON SEES
EVIL IN LIFE ON STAGE
Former Actress Says Any Kind
of Other Work Is Better
For Women.

NEW YORK. Oct. lg.-Mary An
derson de Navarro, who is visiting
here. was interviewed today. She
said she thought any kind OF work
for woman was better than the
stage.
Two things are necessary I'm every
woman's life TO round out her exist
ence perfectly" she said. Every
woman must have her work and her
love. But any work. IL seems 10 me,
is preferable to a stage career. The
little home duties. the tending of per-
sonal philantbropies and interests
these mean true happiness.
Surely every woman is entitled to
live In her own life the heart throbs
and the love and the JOY that she
would act upon the stage A real
life. away from sham emotions and
painted scenery, a real life With a
real home, with real work and real
love in IL. Is the only possible exist
ence for real woman"
Comes to See Play.
Yet Mrs. de Navarro admittedly has
not lost all interest In the theater.
The sole purpose OF her present visit
TO America is to see the opening pro-
duction of 1.-The Garden of Allah" in
writing which she and Robert HIGH
ems elaborated.
And how about the time when
your little daughter will begin to-
think of a career for herselfF was
suggested. Shall you encourage her
I to go upon the stage, as you did. or
shall you try TO mold her life along
the lines of your present lifeY
20, should hate 10 think that my
little girl ever would become an
I actress" she exclaimed. You don't
know what the life means. II Is so
ifrightfully hard on woman. IL
seems to me that almost any other
work would be easier and better for
girl.
"It is almost impossible for wo-
man upon the stage to form any home
ties or lasting friendships. And, as
| have said. the worst aspect of all
seems TO me TO be in the atmosphere
of artificiality which one breathes
! coatinually-the simulated passions
and the contrived personality. IL
makes a woman heartsick after
while. The last thing In the world
I should want my daughter TO be
would be an actress"
Combine Work and Love.
! so you do not believe in careers
: for women" was asked.
/ "Ah. do not mistake me-, she an
swered, hastily. AS | have said,
I believe real happiness for a woman
lies In a combination of work and
! love. All love is as bad for any one
/ as is all work. Certainly woman
should have her personal interests;
even interests outside her home. But
not interests that inevitably sweep
/ her farther and farther from the home
harbor, as acting will surely DO.
/ But you would suggest
How can ! suggest for others !
protested Mrs. de Navarro. Il only
know what has meant peace and the
best in life for myself. But you VINO
live in cities can hardly guess the
many Joys or a little town. Wonder
full place as is New York, the peo-
pie who spend their days here can
only exist
How little they know OF the peo-
ple who live all about them, OF the
human creatures like themselves
struggling for existence. For myself
II has always been the simpler human
/ lows that meant most TO me. The
charities, the interests, the every
minute feeling of companionship
which only a small community can
! rive"

Seclusion At Yerkes' Mansion, Final
ly Going To New York.

New York, April Mrs. Mary AIDE
laide Yerkes, widow of the late Charles
T. Yerkes, died at her home in this city
tonight.
1t was about "a years ago that she,
as Mary Adelaide Moore, the daughter

Yerkes, multimillionaire railroad OPP
orator of Chicago. 1t was 10 years
later that the couple separated.
Upon the death of her husband, four
years ago, she received, it is said, more
than $3,00O,OOO as her portion of his
estate, and within a few months she
was married to Wilson Miner, New
York playwright, much younger than
she. 1t was barely week later that
they separated and divorce proceedings
ensued, which she won.
The circumstances surrounding the
brief, but violent courtship and sudden
marriage of Miner and the matronly
Mrs. Yerkes, and the briefness of the
HONEYMOON, were made sensations of the
day. Miner brought a crowd of re

Preserving Eggs.

The logical time to put eggs away is
in March, April, or May, when they are
cheap. They must be unquestionably
fresh. The ideal way is to drop them
in the solution as soon as they are
brought from the nest. When this can
not be done one should secure them not
more than three days after they are
laid. Soiled eggs, cracked ones, or
those that have been washed, can not
be used.
Silicate of soda is a thick, syrupy
liquid sold by the pound at drug stores.
In ten-pound lots the price is usually
ten cents per pound for the best grade
Ten pounds will make enough solution
to cover fifty dozen eggs, making the
cost two cents per dozen. There are
three grades of silicate of soda on tn,
market An inferior quality costs &
trifie less than the best, but the saving
may result in loss of eggs.
To prepare the solution, stir one par
