the necessities of the case. The end Of

siderable curiosity, In order to learn the
amount al pig stock now held, and To

Some fears are expressed that il the con-

furnaces banked their fires, and i'm this

ness OF making pig iron on a healthier, II
lower bnsis. with consequent narrow
ing of the profit margin. The transfer Of
the Schlesinger properties TO the Wander
bilt interests, mentioned last week, seems
TO have been held In allowance for u few
days, and the chances are that the deal
will be perfected this week. In that event
Mr. Schlesinger will still control import
ant mining interests, viz, the Florence,
Iron River, Dunn, Armania, Youngstown
and Claire mines, ON the Menominee

A QUEER MISTAKE.
Married on Stud Horse Poker
License.

Last week at PiZen Switch, a
queer case came before the Court.
John Malandry was on trial for
assault and battery, his offense
consisting of having beaten in
the face of q nun named Trum-
DO, for having stated that Malan-
dry was not married to his wife
When the case was tried Malandry
produced his marriage license
which was dated about four years
, ago, and hanied it to the Court for
inspection. The Court read it over
through large pair ST silver rim
med spectacles and remarked:
DO you consider this a MARI
age licens"?"
II do SIR
where did you get it %
Il got it of you several years
ago"
did you get married on the
strength OF it?"
II did sir"
''Can you read?"
mo sir"
81 am sorry to inform you' said
the Court that this is not a mar
riagc license at all, but a licen
to Iun a stud horse poker game
for three months in Pizen Switch"
Malandry was very much dis
concerted and the spectators burst
into a loud laugh. When the mat
ter was investigated it transpired
that Malandry had applied to the
Justice of Pizen Switch for a Ii
cense to oren stud horse poker
game and said he would want it
soon.
The Justice made out the license |
and few weeks later Ma andry |
decided to marry, but lis bride in
sisted that he give up gambling
aad take to agriculture.
The happy groom then sent his
brother to get the license and the /
Justice supposed OF course that he
wanted the gaming license and
gave it after charging the usual
lee. The preacher was a trifie
hilarious when the ceremony was
performed SO did not critically in
,pect the document.
Thus it happened that the error
vas not discovered until the bat
cry case came up in Court. The
Justice made all the amends he
could by issuing another marriage
license free Of charge and the boys
gave the newly welded couple an
other chivairee.

They had given IS and 20 cents
