We are in receipt of the annual
edition of The Superior Wave, contain
ing notes of interest of the ''City of
Destiny" which lies at the west end of
Lake Superior, with a review of its
prominent business houses. One Of
the cover pages is devoted to the adj
vertisement of Scion & kruth, real es-
tate agents, the senior member being
our former townsman, Hon. T. F. Scion,
of legislative antecedents and general
"good fellow" bearings. The firm
have the most unique and original cad"
in The Wave, the imam of letters be-
ing decidedly new, and if measured by
their showing on paper Scion & Kruth
are among Superior's most fourishing
land brokers.
A rather humorous affair occurred
yesterday morning ust before the re-
hearsal of "Casey's Troubles" 1t
during the rehearsals, and it has been
Mr.. McMullen's duty TO take them out
of a wire cage and bring them up stairs
on a chain. The chains were some

he did with the greatest precaution,
using such endearing expressions as

stopped to entangle the chain; Just

the breadside of his pants, taking
piece the size of full moon out Of it.
McMullen dropped the chain and with
howl that would have shamed Com

shouting "Come down, some of We play
actors, and lux after thin bastes. Oi'll
not touch thin agin. Be hivins, Ohm
pisined fer loife. ''-Neag York Herald.

found it was covered with ice and
snow, and although almost frozen stiff,
it soon came out all right. The bird
came into the possession Of Alfred
Meyer, and can be seen in the window

bird, and yet when pressed for food
attacks live animals, young pigs and
lambs becoming its prey. In warm
climates they are encouraged, being
used as scavengers and regarded as
