Big Crowd and Good Time at
Grange Picnic at Stevenson

The Grange picnic at Stevenson
liake yesterday was in every way a
successful affair even If its coming on
tbe Stotineii's press day precludes
our doing justice to<it. You, gentle
reader, as we trust you were,, should
have been there, as we were, to appreciate it.
Frank Lamoreaux. gracefully presided at the exercises. A. E. Canfield
spoke fitting words of welcome and
response was made by Marion Daln.

heard two better addresses at the same
time," was the remark heard.
unite Jack Farming,
One of the things that greatly impended agricultural (development in
Olare county in the earlier days of
farming in the county was the tena-
acity with which many clung to their
lumbering instincts, blindly ignoring
farm possibilities. In some parts of
the county even today the remnants
of the same misconception still exists.
In fact In some cases it appears in an
aggravated form.
More than one locality is known
where are those who, virtually standing in the way of agricultural development, still seek to eke out an existence
by getting iiold of small quantities of
timber. But recently there were
three families making a living stealing timber from a certain section in
one of our townships. Each family
lived in a shack and pretended to
farm a small patch of land close to the
base of operations but it was well understood at least by those who lived
not many miles away that the farming
was but a cover for their operations.
(The information comes to the Sentinel from reliable farmers living in
the locality.) More than one man
even now is buying cedar stolen in
some cases from his own swamp.
Such conditions, while existing only
in comparatively few cases, are injurious to the possibilities of farming in
Clare county. Lumber jack farming
must give way to the intelligent
modern farmer and the sooner the better especially in those townships where
agriculture has been slow in development.

Berlin Gives Abundant Evidence
of Being the Home of German Emperors.
Berlin, Germany, July llth; 1905.
My Dear Parents:—
I hardly know where to begin and
how to end when I tell you of my
journey through Berlin. It is really a
wonderful town in many respects, and
yet in others it is open to many a
criticism. It might be compared to
New York in size and character,
though without half the life, but with
much more ol history and beauty. It
has only two busy streets, Friedrieh
and Leipzig, and they are nowhere the
length of Broadway nor with half its
attractiveness. *l have yet to see a
well dressed German woman in Berlin,
or a pretty one, while broadway teems
with them. But on the contrary you
see here histqry, monuments, build*
ings that have risen out of the dust of
the past and still teach the German
youth the story of Prussia's history.
Two museums and the royal eathe-,
dral visited greatly impressed me.
The museums and art gallery contain
not alone some remarkable paintings
but statuary brought from .classic
Greece and Borne which some German
professors had obtained by hook or
crook or with a spade. In the evening I went to the Fiergarten, the
Berliner's favorite park. There were
several bands playing; tlie animals of
the zoological were playing or growling and the crowds of people were eating and drinking beer, Everybody
there was enjoying himself hugely.
The German believes he was put on
earth to take life easily and pleasantly,
and he carries our what he believes
his mission.
Next morning I took the train for
classic and royal Potsdam. At the
station I met friends of mine from
Arkansas. The meeting was so decided accidental that we could but
marvel of the very small size of the
world. To meet Arkansans in Potsdam
is that not strange? We journeyed
through the palaces. First was the
palace of Fredrick William I. What
magnificence we did see! Luxury
seemed to have exhausted her resources in beautifying the interior of
this extremely homely building. But
we had only touched the hem of the
garment of royal luxury
of Prussia. Next was the
palace of the present emperor. This
is open to the public when he is out of
town and thank goodness he was on a
trip as usual. After paying an admission a guide showed us through the
palatial halls of the Kaiser's Schloss.
I cannot begin to describe these rooms
with their inlaid ceilings, gold and
silver tapestries and furniture, par-
quetted floors, magnificent oil paintings, priceless bric-a-brac and relics of
the past. Possibly the beauty of it all
reached a climax in the reception or
state dining room. It is all made of
shells and precious stones gathered
from all parts of the world. The ceilings and walls were all of these varei-
gated things and it forms the most
magnificent room I have ever seen.
The finery of Louis XIV, or Nero or
Lueullus or Croesus never touched this
room for it is the finest in existance,
Everywhere throughout the building
we were met by magnificent tapestry
or marble walls and they are all covered with many an oil portrail of the
Hohenzollern household. I left the
palace in regret and found it sprinkling outside and I thought: Well,
with all his magnificence, the Kaiser
can't stop the rain and he would get
wet too if he'didn't have an umbrella,
We then went to the mausoleum of
Konig Fredrick and his wife. The
former was the father of the present
emperor and the latter Queen Victoria's daughter. The building is a
circular affair in the middle of which
are two raised marble pedestals about
four feet high upon which are the re-
cumbent'Statues of the royal pair as in
death. Beneath these pedestals are
the bodies.
Next we drove to Sans Soncei, the
famed home of Fredrick the Great,
This palace is still preserved unaltered
as in the great king's day. It was an
old, fairly unpretentious building but
walled inside -with fine tapestry and
covered with all sorts of presents and
relics. First we were- shown Voltaire's room, for Voltaire you know
lived with this great king. Also we
were shown the place where Fredrick
sat during his last days and a statue is
placed there representing the decrepit
king seated in a chair looking out of
the window. When I returned to
Berlin I was surfeited with royal luxury of beauty,
Next day I went to the Kaiser's
Berlin palace and here too we were
'treated to mom oi prtaceiy esses&
Truly these rooms are royal, If there
is anything unborn ixx. the realm of
beauty then nbt alone the German
Kaisers but no other Kaisers have discovered it for they have exhausted
art's and architecture's resources to
adorn their rooms.
Across from the palace is a magnificent monument to William the
Great. It is thirty feet high above
the sixty foot pedestal and represents
the old emperor on a magnificent
charger whose bridle is held by a
woman representing peace. At the
base of this pedestal are two immense
seated figures representing war and
peace while at the four corners are
four immense lions of magnificent
sculpture symbolizing the virtues of
the old king. It is an awe inspiring
picture. There must be five statues
of this old king and ,in the palaces
about twenty life size oil paintings.
In the city park is the Street of
Victory. At its head is an immense
column, the most beautiful I have
everiSeen. Along this street are immense statues of the rulers of Prussia
down to thetime of William I. This
is a very valuable scheme of Emperor
Fredrick for it not alone familiarizes
the German with the stories of his
country hut it arouses his national
conciousness and patriotism. America might learn valuable lessons from
this plan. I think that in Washing
ton we should have some place set
apart for statues of the presidents and
other great men. It would tend to a
classic air for already classic Washington. America has yet to devote itself
to patronizing the sculptor. Berlin is
full of statues and it gives the city a
tone of culture and tells the foreigner
that Germany loves its history,

SAVED' FROM DROWNING.
Rudolph Sehaeffer Diving
Feet Rescues. Edwin
Chalmers,
Ten
Last Thursday morning Budolph
Sehaeffer of this city with some of his
pupils was sitting under the friendly
shade of a tree at the morning recess
of the Bass Lake school, district- number two, Garfield, when the cry of
'>man drowning" was heard from the
nearby lake. Young Sehaeffer rushed
down to the.lake, pulled off most of
his clothes, plunged in and, reaching
the spot where the boat with two
women and two men, the latter in the
water hanging on to the. boat, was,
dived but failed to get the drowning
man who had gone down for the third
time. Coming to the surrace be got
Into the boat and, taking a careful
look, caught a glimpse of a man's foot,
dived directly to it and returned to
the surface with the man, feet up.
Both rescuer and rescued were quickly
gotten into the boat aDd taken to
shore and the latter was in a short
time resuscitated. At 11:30 the
schoolmaster, having procured a dry
shirt, resumed his place behind his
desk in the little school house.
The rescued was Edwin Chalmers of
north Evart. He was one of a company of people taking an outing at the
lake and slipped off a flat boat.

Miss Matie McKinley of Clare spoke
in the Congregational church last
Sunday morning and in the M. E,
church, in the evening, subject "Life
in India." She was the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. J. Saxton while, in farwell.
One of the most heart-rendering
and side-splitting scenes ever seen in
this city was looked ution hy a good
audience who assembled afcth# opera
house in the village of Farwell on
Monday evening. The attraction at
the above place was the convening of
the "Single Ladies' Debating society"
or the "Old Maids' Convention," Ml
the delegates did not arrive at the
same time. One who came first
brought along Polly, the parrot, to
talk to until others came, and they
divided gtheir lunch with each other
some of which was like themselves,
rather aged, When all had arrived
they were called to order by the president M. Grimes, who made a rousing
speech set forth the purposes of the
society. Then came the secretary's
and treasuren'8 reports. An objection
was filed against the latter because
the face powder purchased had not
accomplished the desired result. After
a fierce debate the amount was allowed. Some were in favor of going to
the Klondike to enter the matrimonial field, while others favored
adopting a more masculine costume
so as to catch men here. When the
secretary read tbe names of marriagi-*
able men Farwell's mayor headed the
list—of course the audience smiled
audibly. Various were the phrases
and expressions used to express their
profound admiration for man. One
compared man to an oak and woman
to a clinging vine—they all immediately voted "let us cling." Man was
also spoken of as "Lords of Creation."
Everyone aspired to be first Lady to
some one of these noble personages.
Certainly this is a noble ambition for
any spinster—there is room at the
top. Miss Strawberry Blonde Blue-
Belle, Forget-me-not, in company
with another Miss, joined the society.
No one could blame her from desiring
to change her name. The obligation
to which had to give assent of a
solemn nature and wag very binding.
It was "In the name of those old
suspenders, cob-pipe, Battle-Ax plug,
darned sox, polished shoes, a fish pole
and a shot gun and everything that is
dear to a man that they would continuously, persistently, courageously,
unfalteringly and everlastingly strive
to get a man during the next year."
The convention broke up in a row
when one of tbe Old Maids gave her
age incorrectly to the man who had a
machine by which he could restore
youth to them again, as tbe machine
went to smash the curtain fell. The
costumes beggar description. Some
were red, yellow and variagated.
Betsey Bobbitt, a spinster of sleek
slender build, easily outclassed them
all. Her costume would do for an
antidote for the blues and dyspepsia.
Others would do good service if placed
near a cherry tree or in a corn-field.
Everyone enjoyed the effort of Far-
well's local talent. The proceeds go
toward the organ fund.

Supervisor Hampton of Sheridan
informs the Sentinel that farmers
along the McEwan creek have so far
carried out their part of the agreement made with the board of supervisors last May that now only one or
two farms remain where the logs and
debris are not removed from the
creek. In many places the stream already gives evidence of wearing down
its bed. By October 1st the entire
work will be completed. ■■
The county has paid the .-drain commissioner's bill of $146 for preliminary
work on that proposed ditch and now
with the farmers carrying out their
part of the agreement to clean out the
creek the big ditch controversy is
settled even if-the new drain law is
declared unconstitutional. There is,
however, one or two short ditches to
the creek needed, it is claimed, but it
is understood that the interested
parties are willing to do so much
themselves that there is every probability of even these being dug in due
time without any controversy.
And for all this the taxpayers of
Grant, Sheridan, Hatton and Arthur
are duly grateful.
