HAWLEY When Samantha Allen after long, silent argument with herself to Josiah, her husband, "I will write a book," Josiah sighed deeply and said, "Samanthy, who will read your book after it is rote?" Marietta Holley used this quotation one the flyleaf of her first book "My Opinions and Betsy Bobbit's" published in 1873.

Mrs. Holley was born in 1844 in Jefferson county, N. Y. and became one of the most popular humorous writers of her day. A clipping handed in at Mason County museum by an admirer who had cherished it since the author's death in 1926 bespeaks this popularity.

Written in the vernacular her books were nevertheless based on good sense applied to every day living. The subject of "Wimmin's Rights" was the central theme in all of her publications. Biscuits ift the Oven The books were read avidly by both young and old. Closely attached to the Victorian era it was many times the only book careful parents allowed their children to read on Sunday. We liked them because of their applicability to incidents in our own family life.

"Once when her face was all swelled up, she smiled at me" was the pen picture she drew of a neighbor, and it reminded us of the time our mother had erisypilas. And to this day we call one hospitably inclined member of the family "Samanthy" because when she saw approaching guests turn in at the gate she would have the "biscuits in the oven before they got into the house." Josiah too came in for. his share of laughs. And when father, who always left the letter writing to someone else, found himself alone one time and had to write a letter, finished with the word "shears," we knew why. Josiah expanded into poetry.

"How beautiful the spring appears," he wrote. "More beautiful than ever before. Shears." We have all read, and maybe tried to write, a poem with a beautiful This That from History By AGNES E. MAC LAREN Five years ago today the SS Spartan was launched at Sturgeon Bay, Wis. She was the lllli carferry launched for Lake Michigan traffic for the and its predeccs- sors.

The first, which was launched I Dec. 30, 1896, at Bay City in the shipyard of F. W. Wheeler Co. at Bay City, was the Pcrc Marquette, later to be known as the Marquette No.

15. Her length between perpendiculars was 331 feet, over all 350 feet, beam 50 feet, depth below deck l9Vi feet, depth from upper deck to floor 37 feet. The Pere Marquette, which was the widest steamer on the Great Lakes, was the first steel carferry in the world. She was designed by Robert Logan of Cleveland, assisted by Capt. James W.

Martin, superintendent of Flint Pere Marquette Railway steamship line. In designing the ship Mr. Logan followed the ideas of Capt. Martin, who, for 15 years, had engaged in both winter and summer negation on the lakes. He knew frbjn instructions from his super- 1 iorg and from his own observations exactly what was wanted on the "Railway across Lake Michigan." He.

omitted the weak points of previously built ferries and strengthened the strong ones. second carferry. of the line, Muskegon, was bought by the A wooden ship, she later ePere Matquette No, thought and found the ideas had all run their course before the last verse was written. The surprise clement in ncr books always sent, us into gales of laughter, silly as they may have seemed. Books at Museum Samanta Allen's experiences with Betsy Bobbit; came to the museum with Eugene name on the flyleaf as part of the Fannie Allen Latimcr collection.

"Samantha at Saratoga," 1887, "Samantha Among the Brethern." 1892, and "Samanlha at the World's Fair," 1893, are other of her books which were of the C. H. Keeler library, presented by George Masterson of Hamlin. Edward P. Hoe was another prolific writer of fiction, in a more serious vein in the 188()'s, who was widely read.

The Kcelcr-Maslcrson collection includes eight of these books: "Without a Home," 1881; "Nature's Serial Story," 1884; "Opening a Chestnut Burr," 188-l-. "An Original Belle," 1885; "He Fell in Love with His Wife," 188G; "The Earth Trembled," 1887; "Miss Lou," 1888 and "Taken Alive," 1889. Mrs. G. R.

Alden, writer of the Pansy scries, also was an author of the same period whose books were popular at small libraries. Eleven of these stories arc in the Keeler-Maslerson collection: "Household Puzzles," 1874; "What She Said," 1881; "Spun from Fact," 1886; "Eighty-Seven," 1887; "Profiles," 1888; "Judge Burnham's Daughters," 1888; "A Sevenfold Trouble," 1888; "Aunt Hannah." "Martha and John," 1891; "Wanted," 1894; Framed into Today," 1895; and "As in a Mirror," 1897. The children of yesterday who enjoyed these books will no doubt enjoy skimming over them again at the museum. Abe Nelson Gives Tools Abe Nelson has made some interesting additions (o his museum on East Ludington avenue which he enjoys showing. Some of them have queer sounding names, familiar enough to (he lumber-jacks who drop in often to talk about old times.

At the last showing at the Mason County museum he talked about a froow, a shakes knife. Shakes in themselves are strange to the unlimited. They were liie first shingles made by the pioneers, chopped out of log chunks from the giant pine trees in virgin forests. Mr. Nelson declares there has never been a shingle manufactured that could endure like the shakes.

Some buildings have been known to stand eighty or ninety years with the original roofs good condition. Shakes were of varying thickness up to four inches. It would be interesting to see a roof covered with them today. Another word, it is of Scandanavia.i derivation, i.s the shivc, of which Mr. Nelson has added two to his collection.

The dictionary defines Ihc word as a slice or splinter, and Abe described them as "snatch 1 for stumps." Besi.lcs these articles Mr. Nelson has a square wooden pump a slip yoke with two bows for oxen which arc not stationary eliminating irritation on the necks of the animals. Civil War Saddle A Civil war saddle made all of wood was a gift fom a fn CI Bill Kirschner, which will prove an interesting item. A side saddle the seat of which is covered with plush, Mr. Nelson says is much older than the one-on display at the museum He also has found a harness-maker sewing horse, and picked up seven slabs of cork pine varying in width from 16 to 32 inches.
