ing the afternoon. ruefully wiping the
dishes Meanwhile. The mas all go

eat, an when they git home tn kids

w. A. Maynard. arrested several
weeks ago of charge of passing a
worthless check on E. X. Warner, of

Through the kindness of Rev. FIR.
! Thos. Luby. of Mt. Morris, we have
been favored with copy of booklet
issued by the Michigan State Pioneer
and Historical Society, which gives IN q
very interesting style. the names and q
short history of the various points oi
interest on Mackinac Island. The book
let was written by Rt. Rev. Monsignor
Frank O'Brien, of Kalamazoo, who is d
member of the commission, and is truly
a chsrming bit of literature. While
the name Mackinac is familiar to al
most every citizen of Michigan, ther.

permanently settled on this continent
and that the flags of three nations
France, England and the U. s. hav,
Aoated over the island. If any Of oul
readers would like to read the bookIe
we should be very glad to loan it u
