Kewesnaw County This, at least was the tradition
handed down from the Indian chieftains and their
trbesmen In substanation of their stories the red
exhibited to the miners trinkets made of copper
taken, they said, from rich bouders by their fore
fathers years before
These were the stories heard by the young en-
gineer when he took up his work near the Cliff mine
By others about him the tales regarded as mere
fights of Indian imagination.
IF there is copper in big quantities along the
Eagle River why hasn't it been discovered?" they
would demand of Hubert when the engineer with
characteristic enthusiasm sought to point the prob
ability of truth in the stories.
And the more Hubert talked of his belief the
emphatic the miners in their contradiction
of his theories So the engineer became silent upon
the subject that occupied his mind every moment of his
leisure time. 1t two years after his appearance
at the camp that he commissioned survey land
for the State road from Copper Harbor, by way of
Eagle Harbor Cliff and Houghton, to Ontonagon. The
selection of the young engineer, then just %
old for the performance of this important task
a tribute to his skill.
But to Hubert the commission meant more than
this that in the course of his professional
operations he would be given a rare opportunity to
make a thorough inspection of almost every inch of
land where according to Indian traditions big deposits
of copper were to be found So jubilant was he

your husbands and the children at
your side"
0R. JOHN D. QUACKENBOS,
- whose papers on the psyche
logical side of marriage have been
widely quoted, both here and abroad,
is distinctly kkeptical about the
claims advanced by the Philadelphia
divine. He declares that while he
could not readily obtain the actual
figures concerning the relation of the
Summer resort to the divorce court,
in his opinion. not more than per
cent. of all divorces could be traced
TO the Summer separations of mar
ried couples.
Where Doctor Talmage makes a
blunder," said DR.. Quackenbos, els
that he does not 90 to the real root
Of the matter. A Summertime sepa-
ration, even If greatly prolonged,
would have no i'll results were the
couple ideally mated. Marriage has
a psychic side. Real love is spiritual,
as well as rational and animal.
With these three qualities pres
ent, no amount of separation, no
matter how much temptation il in
volved, could ever wean the affection
of the husband from the wife or the
wife from the husband. OF course we
all realize that when left alone and
deprived of the companionship and
society of the other, a wife or a hus-
band necessarily incurs a risk, which
would not be the case were they not
separated.
"A husband, worn out by a day Of
toll at his desk. may seek ecreation
and relaxation in the company of his
stenographer Meanwhile, his wife
may find some one of the opposite
sex congenial company for her at the
seaside or mountain resort where she
is staying.
Il say, of course, that this may
occur. We know it frequently does.
But am firmly of the belief that the
divorces it leads to are negligible in
Eumber. Besides, in the majority of
cases where a legal separation does
ensue, 1 believe ninety-nine times in
a hundred it would have come to pass
sooner or later anyway.
What is at the bottom of all our
divorces is a basic incompatibility of
temper and temperament-a lack Of
sympathy between the husband and
wife. This may or may not be the
fault of the couple. A man or wom-
an constitutionally cold, whose i'm
pulses and desires are absolutely
negative, may be mated to one Of the
opposite sex who is the exact re-
verse.
such a union is entirely irrational
and is destined to almost certain

Is it TO be Bar Harbor, Atlantic

Or is the sensational sermon
preached by the Rev. Frank Dewitt

Presbyterian Church, in Philadelphia,
going to be allowed to throw fear
into the souls of husbands and wives
and make them avoid Summer vaca-
tions as they would a plague?
The divorce germ turks in the

Summer resorts, Doctor Talmage
told his fashionable congregation.

traction to him, he loves also from
a rational and a spiritual standpoint.
&c UGH a man and woman can
- be separated indefinitely with
out danger of temptation to either.
Separation would simply enhance the
affection which they felt for one an
other. DIR. Talmage is in error, l
think, when he advises the husbands
and wives of his flock to avoid
learning to be happy away from
each other. No absolutely cOngenial
couple can ever be completely happy
away from each others society.
81 believe that the majority Of
women who seek divorces are be-
tween the ages of 35 and 30, and
they have been married ten years or
longer. Why do their husbands so
astray? The answers must be almost
as many as the individualities repre-
sented. Perhaps the rational and
spiritual affinity between husband
and wife so necessary TO an ideal
union never has existed, and with the
passing of the purely animal attrac-
ton the man seeks more Congenial
companionship. Perhaps-but why
speculate on a subject which presents
so endless a variety of possibilities
often think the fact that man
sends his wife away for a few weeks
vacation tends to prevent divorce
rather than the contrary. Take, for
instance, the man who has really
grown weary of his wife, yet through
a feeling of duty or for kindred rea-
sons doesn't wish to wrong her by
giving her actual cause for divorce.
For such a man and woman the
Summer vacation often means a re-
lief to both, frequently leading to q
better understanding between, them
when they are reunited. Absence
truly makes the heart grow fOnder'
in these cases, for it heals the point
of friction between the couple and
gives each a clearer perspective of
the others good qualities. On the
other hand, it also makes them re-
alize what to avoid if their future
conjugal relations are to be main
tanned happily.
Women should form high ideals
and demand their existence in the
man she selects for her husband. 1t
is contended that ideals are danger
Gus. So they are-to fools. But to
her who sees the spiritual side of
love they form an essential stimulus
to its expression. Such q woman
has little to fear that her husband
will ever waver in his fidelity to her.
If separated the two will count the
days until they are brought together
again.
After all the whole question
raised by the Rev. Talmage as to
the relation between the Summer re-
sorts and the divorce courts is en-
tirely one of personal equation.
There are husbands and husbands
and wives> and wives. The Sins Of
the Summer watering places are no
more proportionately than those of
the cities in the Winter time. Off
hand I should say they were rather
less than anything else.

Ne day two weeks later Hubert, having made

Bending over a huge rock he dug the fingers of his

When Hubert climbed into the saddle again he
