A look between the covers only confirms one's suspicions; and a single glance betrays the fact that Mr. Meader (Author of 'Thro' the Rye") is again at his old tricks of laugh-making.

OLD EVETJTS IN MODEEIf COLORS Celebration of the Tercentennial of the First Walte Exp1orr-Lp re jected Restoration of Fort Tlconaeroga. Samuel Champlain, the "gentleman of France." soldier, sailor, explorer, coloniser, governor, 300 years ago discovered the great lake which bears his name, and in Joyous commemoration of that event the people of two states and the Dominion of Canada, whose shores are laved by Its waters, will celebrate early In July the tercentennial with prayer and pageantry. For five days the celebration will last, and during that time the war cry of Indiana whose for bears there gave battle will resound over It waters In mimlo warfare and present In elaborate form Longfellow's story of Hiawatha. In Interest the oelebratlon ranks with the Hudson-Fulton celebration, for while the English sailor in the service of France was exploring the river which bears his name. the great Frenchman with his trusted Indians was mapping the lake which In after years was to become the virtual birthplace of the American navy, the scene of battles which counted high In the con test of the people of the colonies for inde pendence, later In their war to make cer tain for all time that Independence, and still later In times of peace to become famous as a place where men and women gather for Its great beauties, its attrac tions as a place of resort In summer, for the bountiful quantities of fish within Its confines and the wild game in the woods of its shores. For the celebration President Taft, his cabinet and high officers of the army and navy will Journey from Washington. Gov ernor Hughes-and high state officials of New York will represent that state. Gov ernor Prouty and his staff,, the people of Vermont, and officials of Canada the peo ple and government of that country, over which Champlain ruled when Canada wns New France. Pajgeaata at Faatou Fort. With services In the churches the cele bratlon will begin on July 4. The next day the first of a series of pageants will be given at Crown Point. July 6 Fort Tl conderoga will be the scene of -the festivi ties. July T Plattsburg will have Its day July 8 the soene will shift to Burlington and on July ft, at Isle La Moue, the cele bratlon will come to an end. Besides the exercises under the direction of the officials of New York, Vermont and Canada there will be minor celebrations In many of the smaller places on the shores and on more than fifty Islands which dot the lake. Preparations for the tercentennial have been under consideration since April 16, 1907, when Senator Henry W. Hill of Buf falo offered a concurrent resolution pro viding for the appointment of a commission to confer with Vermont and Canada with a view t arranging fitting observances of Cbampfkin's discovery. ' Since then the orig inal commissions of the three governments and their suocessors have been at work. Starting with a tour of the lake and the contiguous country the joint commission, in attempting to settle on a place for the cel ebration, found themselves embarrassed by riches. In this contingency it was decided to hare the celebration cover various points the better to enable everyone to take part therein and to give the visitors opportun ity to see more of the lake's beauty and Its historical spots than would have been pos sible had only one place been decided upon. In this division the oelebratlon Is unique. This feature settled, the commission, after considering various propositions, decided that historical pageants should be the prin cipal feature from the spectacular stand point Champlain and the Indians, It was agreed, should be the subjects, and L. O. Armstrong of Montreal was commissioned to arrange Indian pageants. In their pre sentation 160 Indians, descendants of the ancient warriors whose tribes occupied the Champlain valley at , the time of its dis covery, will reproduce the battle of Cham plain with the Indians, and a dramatlo version of "Hiawatha" on floating barges. Patriotic, historical and other societies are arranging to contribute their share, inde pendent of the commissions. lent of Many Battles, Lake Champlain and the contiguous ter ritory was famed in Indian legend as a place og beauty long before Champlain, In the servloe of Aymar de Chastes, governor think of The only National - Biscuit of Dlrppe, first set out In 1602 for Canada on a commercial expedition and. to spread the gospel. Its valley termed a great natural gateway from the mouth of the Hudson to the St. Lawrence. This the In dians lo"hg knew, and for Its control many bitter wars were fought. Then the whites came and battled with the Indians, and later between themselves, for supremacy In the contest that should decide whether French or English civilisation should pre vail. In the contest of the colonies for Inde pendence the alarms of war again sounded In the valley and the territory around It, as well as on the lake, the English seek ing to Join forces from their base at New York, thereby cutting off the patriots of New England from the men in the field In the middle and southern states. Then, again old Tlconderoca, which saw the Eng lish triumph over the French, Crown Point and Plattsburg, all became strateglo points of value. Control of the thoroughfare for which the Indians battled was to determine the issue of independence. The first forts seised by the patriots In their struggle were upon It, while near by, at Saratoga, the most overwhelming victory of the pa triots was won. Again in the war which was to confirm American Independence the valley and the lake were scenes of stirring action. In and around Plattsburg raw New York militia men defeated veterans of the campaigns against Napoleon In Spain and France, while in Plattsburg bay the most decisive naval victory of the war was won by the Americans. Champlain first heard of the lake and Its country from the friendly Indians of the north. Those told him of iU great beauty, Its abundance of fish and game, the scores of beautifully wooded Islands upon Its bosom, the great forest which lined It on either side, the Adirondack mountains on the one shore, the Green mountains on the other; IU great width In some plaoea and its comparative narrowness In others, and above all, its immensity. C'hamplata'a First Expedition. To see this country and take possession of It in the name of his king, Champlain set out in the summer of 1609 with a large force of friendly Indians and a few Frenchmen. Going up the St. Lawrence to the mouth of the Richelieu, he was de serted by a large number of the naUves, whereupon he sent all but two of his white companions and proceeded with sixty braves. Just what day he reached the lake history does not state, though It Is clear that It was In the first days of July that he saw the water to which with pardon able pride he gave his name. Champlain had been told by the Indians that the lake and the surrounding coun try was fairer than any of the country to the north, and as he entered the lake he found they had spoken truly. Many pretty Islands were on every hand, the home of deer, bear and many species of birds. On the shores great forests grew, many of the trees of varieties whioh be had known in France, but larger and finer. "Ascending the lake," says Parkman, the historian, "Cumberland Head was passed, and from the opening of the great channel between Grand Isle and the main he could look forth on the wilderness sea. Edged with woods, the tranquil flood spread southward beyond the sight. Far on the left rose the forest ridges of the Green mountains, and on the right the Adirondacks, haunts In these later years of amateur sportsmen from counting rooms or college halls. Then the Iroquois made them their hunting grounds; and beyond, In the valleys of the Mohaw!, the Onon daga and the Genesee, stretched the long line of their five cantons and palisaded towns. Their goal was the rocky promontory where Fort Ticonderoga was long afterward built. Thence they would pass the outlet of Lake eQorge and launch their canoes again on that Como of the wilderness, whose waters limpid as a foun tain head stretched far southward between their flanking mountains." Rent of the Indsans. Savages who had Inhabited the lands about the head of the lake had left before the white man came and had withdrawn Into the interior, and It waa not until the end of the month waa near that unfriendly Iroquois were encountered and defeated, leaving to the white man control of the fair domain. In his quaint journal, which Is to New Franoe what Governor Bradford's records are to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Champlain paid high tribute to the beau tiful country he had seen, the depth of water in the Immense lake, the great quan tities of fish and game awaiting the trap per, the fisherman and the hunter, de scription that today sounds true, for man In his Incursion on the country about the lake has done little to decrease the natural attractions and has done much to enhance them.

Stories of the beauties of the lake each year attract visitors from all points of the compass, much as they did the hardy French explorer. Lake Champlain, the latter visitors have In journal and printed book, recorded their pleasures and Impres sions, until Lake Champlatn's fame In story has gone wherever olvillsation's rec ords have gone, while poets have sung Its praises , in a thousand verses.
