acres to, $4,000 acres, were discovered
in 1852, just Id years after the landing
of the Mayflower. Madeline, the
largest of the group, is Is miles long
and three-ffths of a mile in width.
Jean Nicollet, a young French ex-
plorer, was the ~discoverer. In 1865,
Radisson and Groseilliers made a trip
through Upper Wisconsin, and five
years later they visited the Apostle
Islands and built a winter hut on the
shores of Lake Superior.
In 1865, Father Claude Allouez To-
Gated a mission on Madeline Island
and named it La Pointe dut Saint Els
prit, which was soon shortened to La
Pointe, and this name still remains.
La Pointe is now a town of several
hundred residents and the old mission
is a place of interest for the many
tourists who visit the island each
summer.
The names of Radisson, Marquette,
Allouez and others of the early ex-
plorers have been perpetuated in vari-
Il forms and give a connecting link
between the present and the time
when this continent was first begin
ming to be settled by white men.
In addition to Madeline there are
a number of other islands of the group
which are now used as summer re-
sorts, and it will be a question of but
a few years until all of them are clus.
tered with cottages.
Hay fever sufferers find almost in,
slant relief when they reach the Che.
quamagon bay district, and the islands
are recommended as an absolute spe,
cific for this prevalent and annoying
malady.
In addition to the Apostle Islands
the Chequamagon bay district is rich
in summer resort possibilities, only q
small portion Of which have yet beer
utilized.
The territory adjacent to Chequama
gon bay is also rich in resort mate
rial. Trout streams are numerous, ant
the fishing is as fine as can be founC
in the United States.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR,
THE LITTLE WEE MANS TRIP.

Once there was a Little Wee Man.
He had fallen from the moon and he
wanted to go back to it. He was seat
ed on the ground, feeling lonely in this
great new world, when a Little Butter
fly flew down from a nearby rosebush
and said to him:
Little Wee Man, why are you so
sad?"
Il have fallen from my home up in
the moon, and | have been wondering
how | can ever, V e get back" said
he. For 1 cannot fly, as you do" he
added, looking at her beautiful wings.
Jump on my back, Little Wee Man,
and l will carry. you back to your
home" said she, kindly.
So the little man jumped on her
back and she flew with him up, up,
to- the topmost rose on the rosebush,
and landed him deep down IN the
midst of the sweet pink petals.
Then he looked upward toward the
sky and said to her, "The moon,
though, dear Butterfly, is far away.
This is a beautiful place, but l must
go hack to the moon"
81 do not know what the moon is
like" replied the gay little. creature,
but l am afraid l cannot take you
there. However, | will carry you to
the Bird, on the branch of the tree
yonder; he may be able to help YOU
So she carried him there and put oim
down on the Birds back. Take this
little mar with you, Bird; lie is on his
way to his home in the Aloon," she
explained.
Perching between the Wings q the
bird, the Little Wee Man bw rtpidly
upward to the tiptop OF. Ifle highest
tree. There, holding, on i tiny
branch, he swated in. the ,pol breeze.
fte couldn't look doTa tetween the
sreeh leaves and ge; a glimpse: of the
ground, far sseath. But looking up
Ward, he could see the Sky and it
looked as Parkway as ever.
Thanks, Little Bird" lie said, "for
taking me sd far, but this is not the
moon"
Alas! replied the Bird, L cannot
bring you there, but / will take you
to my friend, the Eagle, who can carry
YOU farther"
So the Little Bird flew away with
the Little Wee Man, far away, until,
at last, he came to the ragged edges
of rocky mountain sides. Here they
came to the home of the Eagle. The
Eagle took the Little Wee Man and
sailed upward with him, far into the
wet clouds, until they came to the top
OF the highest mountain. 1t was night
and the moor shone far above them.
"Oh, Mr.. Eagle, can't you take me
up there?' asked the Little Wee Man.
NO." said the Eagle; 'if this isn't
far enough you will have to get 9 pair
Of wings of your own
We'll, if that is the CASE" said the
Wee Little Man, Il wish you would
please take me back to the Butterfly,
so that | can get a pattern off her
wings. You have been kind to me,
but it seems am as far from my home
as ever 81
So the Eagle took the Little Wee
Man back to the Butterfly.
He got a pattern off the Butterfy's
wings and make him a pair out Of it's

THE FOOLISH ROSE.

There was a rose that lone and lone
ly grew;
She loved a breeze that sometimes
round her blew;
She waited for the balmy breeze's
breath
To bring her cheer, and keep her from
grim death,
Her petals oped; the rose shed one
by one
For her loved breeze, and then, when
these were gone,
Her fragrant heart went too, beyond
recall,
No more she owned; the rose had civ
en- all!
The breeze took each love-freighted
petal; then,
From sheer contempt, he flung them
back again!
o foolish rose, to think the breeze
would care;- I
Too faithful rose, the breeze still
blows-elsewhere!

coLoRED sNoWSToRMs.

Colored snowstorms were recorded
as long ago as the sixth century, and
a shower of red hail is said by Hum
boldt to have once occurred in Paler,
mo. In Tuscany on March IA, 1913,
there fell hail of an orange color. In
1903 red snow fell to a depth of over
five feet in Carniola, Austria. Some of
the scarlet snow was melted in a yes
sci and the water e~yaporated, when a
fine rose colored earthly sediment was
found at the bottom. Snow of a brick
red hue fell in Italy in 1916 and in
the Tyrol in 1S47. In the first vol
ume of Kane's Arctic exploration it is
stated that when the ship passed the
crimson cliffs of Sir John Ross the
patches of red snow, from which they
derived their names, could be seen at
a distance of fully ten miles.

Quartermaster's Corps Office Is in
Upper Floors-Gymnasium Used
by Signal Corps.

Expansion of government offices in
privately owned buildings in WASH
ington has recently absorbed almost
the entire second and third floors of
Union station.
For the past four months offices of
the equipment division of the Quarter
masters Corps have occupied a large
portion of the Washington Terminal
Branch of the Y. NJ. c. A. Within the
past few days the gymnasium. at the
east end of the upper floor of the
building. has been taken over by the
aviation section of the Signal Corps.
All available space not used directly
in the service of the terminal COM
pany has been put at the disposition
of the government, according to Supt.
Wilson of the station. MIR. Wilson be-
lieves that further expansion of gov
ernment offices in Union station is
likely, as the station is a central point
and has much unused space.
The engineer division of the Army
has been in possession of the upper
floors of the Winter building. pri-
vately owned building on U street be-
tween 14th and 18th street, for some

canoe of the Jewish colonization move
ment in Palestine. saying the great
opportunity had come for the Jewish
people to realize their long-cherished
hope-that of having a home land.
Washington's share of the s1.000,000
fund. which will be the first INSTALL
ment of a much larger amount to be

Sometimes l am forgetting the
woe across the sea, for sometimes
private fretting is putting crimps
in me. The tragic Russian blum
der does not distress my soul,
when | must scratch like thunder
to buy load of coal. Our own
sad sordid troubles make nations
worries seem like cheap, translu
cent bubbles, or hgments of
dream. Repairing pipes that
busted, the plumber long has
toiled; my costly spuds are crust
ed with frost, and badly spoiled.
With faces long as hearses my
neighbors come and moan of des-
perate reverses that Italy has
known. Although disaster thick
ems, for that | do not weep: but
some one stole my chickens while
| was sound asleep; it's hard to
mourn for fighters in far-off hills
and fens, where here at home
some bhghters have swiped my
Brahma hens. When Byng was
bravely bynging, the bells rang
joyous peals; men thought l
should be singing, and kicking up
my heels. But then my COW was
ailing, and | sat in her room, and
watched her slowly falling, and
wasting to her doom. How could
chirp and twitter. and sound
triumphant call, when that Po1led
Angus critter was croaking in her
stall? l can't forget, my masters,
the little workday ills, though
trlumphs or disasters may shake

Gas Is Ignited for Fourth Time in

The fourth recent explosion of gas in

west of 18th street occurred early last
evening. Manhole covers were destroyed
and a window of the Globe restaurant

Pieces of broken glass fell on table

A large crowd of pedestrians assembled

Gus away, but fire did not follow the
explosion. The Potomac Electric Power
Company erected a barricade and placed
danger signals. Today repairs are in

1t is thought the gas that exploded
had escaped from one of the supply

Company. The odor was strong enough
this morning to annoy workers. Three
