Rocking Stones.
geological phenomena X

THOSE geological phenomena known
popularity as rocking stones"
are to be found in various quarters OF
the globe. Briefly, they are huge
masses of rock so nicely balanced
that at the slightest touch they rock
to and ire. For the most part they
are composed Of granite and their
lower portions are much worn. This
worn condition is aseribed BY geelo-
gists to the sand.elast action OF the
wind and sand ana to the disinte-
grating actien or rress.
In Greece rocking stones have done
duty as funeral monuments. chiefly
in censpieuoas places near the sea.

IN MERRIE ENGLAND

The English Christmas is not I'M
like ours, save that we do not have
their pretty custom of bringing in
the yule." In almost every family in
England the boys and girls gather
about the burning log on Christmas
Eve to sing carols and tell Christmas
legends. Often the children who live
in the country assist at the dragging
in of the huge log. An English child
would not feel that it was Christmas
if there were not bit of mistletoe
hanging in the hall, under which the
unwary are kissed soundly. Little and
big eat the rich and blazing plum pud-
ding and all join in the singing of
Christmas carols and churchgoing.

She was young and pretty and her

brought two grades of mufflers, one
of silk and the other of coarse knit

other was entirely too rough for Char

the home of Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Per-

the business life of Eagle River for
a great many years, Mr.. Persohn ST.
building what is now the store Of
Adams Bros, and carrying a stock Of
general merchandise and a harness
shop and shoe shop in connection
The business grew under their man
agement until at the time of selling
out to their successors it was heavily
stocked with everything needed in
the home or on the farm. Mr.. Per-
sohn has been bed ridden for more
than a year, a fact regretted by the
many friends of the family here.
Their son devotes his time largely
in assisting in the care of his father
and deals quite largely in timber and
real estate.

Garrison, many years residents of
Eagle River, is on Main Street, al
though at present unoccupied they be-
ing located just above town at the
former Yellow Birch Lodge which Mr.
Garrison is remodeling extensively
for the summer use by the owners.
Mr. Garrison early in life learned the
trade of a millwright and followed
that occupation in mills in Michigan
until coming to Eagle River where he
kept things in shape first for the
Sheridan Lbr Co., then at the Otto
