i H there is anyone who knows why
cobbling and philosophy go hand In
hand that person would confer an In
sestimable boon on inquiring mankind
Iby exposing the connection, says the.
San Francisco Chronicle. The man Of
Eawls and lasts invariably talks In max-
inns. No matter how ordinary no
may be in. looks, in circumstances, In
ability, he always has a stock Of wise
sayings in his head, and one feels like
prefacing all his common, everyday
talk with the quaint ''quoth he. !" gs II
Such q hneal descendant of Socrates
or Asop, perhaps, lives in Oakland,
| and, though his talk is remarkable, like
all cobbler chatter, his real claim to
celebrity lies IL the fact that he is the
possessor Of an original idea and has
evolved q shop that is: unique.
| His name is Andrew Nielsen, and he
comes from one of those green little
| isles, that fringe the coast of Denmark
the Island of Odense. His novel
shop is ON Tenth street, near Kirkham,
| in the part Of Oakland that is full of
small houses and large families, where
shoes are many times resoled. Long
| before Nielsen had mastered the Eng
fish language a certain Anglo-Saaon
idea had completely maktered him. 1t
was the desire to have a shop that
would be unlike any other cobbler's
shop in the world. He doesn't know
the word unique but he expresses it
well by saying that he wanted to be
! different from everybody.
At first he had vague IDEAS of huge
| wooden shoe with a suggestive ragged
ness about the toe that would seem as
a reminder to customers and also as an
| entrance. Then one day the eobbler
from over seas wondered why a rail-
! road car would not make good shop.
Unfortunately, he reckoned with an
old-country idea of cost and without q
new-country knowledge Of railroad
drumming gear. One day he went shop
ping in the railroad yards, where he
had heard there were some derelict
cars, prepared in his own mind to make
a purchase He found that the nerest
fotsam and jetsam came higher than
his purse by some hundreds. Then the
idea came to him that, although rail-
road cars were Beyond him, perhaps
horse cars were not. He resolved to
try. He went about his purpose very
| stealthily. First he made friends with
| an employee of the Adeline s. Watts
The Irish standard., 1895-07-27

Tract Street Railroad company, which
had been substituting electricity for
horses.
He thought this must mean super
flnous rolling stock, and it did. From
his new-found friend Nielsen learned
that the sheriff was to sell some Of the
company's goods at auction. It must
have been kept pretty quiet for there
were only three people present. One
of these bought thirteen old cars for
.ses, and Nielsen bought o car for S.
4 The shoemaker says he understood that
tire creditors were to know nothing
about the sale, so in his shrewd Scandi-
|navian mind he decided to take ARC
ceipt, and he preserves it now very
carefully and looks at 1t frequently to
see that the sprawling letters still read:

and the noses hattened against all the
Ineighborhood panes resumed their ac-
customed angle: rs.
For a week the shoemaker was meta

the wheels six inches. in soil, nailed
them in. the inside Of the cars SO that

OF all her adventures. Like the oonsti-
tuition Of the United States, after
which she was named, she has with
stood every danger that Threatened,
and is a fitting type Of the ship Of state.
OF course, during her seventyfve
years Of active service the Constitution"
often needed to be repaired. But al-
though the material in Her mas been
often replaced, she always continued
the same ship, just as the human body
is the same body Of the same person,
though its substance is constantly
changing. In 1880 it was decided that
the good frigate ''Constitution:' would
hardly warrant the cost Of repairs, es-
pecially when the nature of mod
err naval warfare was considered.
She was therefore condemned, and WAS
about to be broken up when Oliver
Wendell Holmes famous ode appeared,
beginning: 'Ay, tear her tattered en-
sign down" The poet sharned congress,
and it was decided to repair once more
the old warsllip. She took several
cruises after that, and once carried a.
load Of wheat to the starving poor Of
Ireland. On that voyage she went
ashore, and being OLD, there was every
reason why she should have left her
bones on the coast; but. with her usual
good luck, the 'sConstitution" ro5 Off
without serious damage and returned
to her native land. =.
But day came at last when NO
further repairs would avail, and a gov
eminent, which pays little for senti-
ment, would spend nothing TO keep up
ship which had contributed so much
to the glory of our ship builders, Of our
brave seamen, and of our starry Gag,
The s:Constitution," lealsy and dis
mant1ed, was lying at the Brooklyn
navy yard, awaiting her doom. Happily
the government again relented in
her favor. It was decided that she
should not be broken up. AS long as
her old tinbers would hold together
she should be allowed to float, but not
with her trim masts and spars, as ii
still a living monument of our naval
pride. No; they would not break her
up, but they would send her into. IN OBJ
scure exile, where few could see her
and where she would soon be forgotten
and gradually wear away. Sometimes
! think it would have been nobler to
take the old :frigate ont to sea, ard,
piercing her sides with avolley Of guns,
let her sink into the bosom Of the ela-
n1ent which had borne her proud form
to so many victories. i8

The dog team as a factor in the
transportation problem Of Northern
Michigan is almost thing Of the past,
yet there are many fine teams left all
over the straits region and on the up
given In the picture herewith 1t is
owned by Ed Kellogg, an old soldier
who lives just on the outskirts OF Chez
boygan, on the straits Of Mackinac It's
owner, who is . sort Of hermit, fisher
man and hunter, values it as the apple
of his eye, and it is question If he
would not part with his daughter, who
occupies the back seat Of his carriage,
sooner than the team, which serves
him as we'll as coach and four, indeed
better. He can make long Journeys in
remarkably short time with the dogs,
and hauls all his own wood, fish, etc,
with them. 54
Ityvas only few years ago, says the
Detroit Free Press, that the dog team
was an important factor of transporta-
tion all over the extreme northern part
of the state during the long winters.
Until 1901 when the railroads
reached the straits from southern
Michigan and Marquette, the dog wss
Indispensable in the transportation Of
the United States mails. For many
years the halfbreed Indians with dog
teams hitched to rude toboggans, the
halfbreed on snowshoes, formed the
mail line between the 500 and Mar
quette, l75 miles, through an almost
trackless forest, camping in snowbanlxs
half theftfme at night. and had it not
been for the dogs, the carrying Of the
mail would have been almost 1rnpossi-
bic. Although it was slow work it was
sure, and no ordinary blizzard had any
effect upon the regularity Of the mails.
Even now, dogs are Indispensable as
carriers around the straits. The Mani
tou mails are carried across thirty miles
Of ice by dogs, and the fishermen all
along the strait region use dogs to
transport their fish and supplies, find
ing that method cheap and safe.
| With the disappearance Of the dog
team as carriers, the dog still holds his
own with the small boys, and the NUNS
| Der Of teams to be found all over the
| upper country is remarkable to one

tudes. Nearly every boy in the whole

half-starved mongrel hitched to a bar
rel stave. These teams have the right
of way too, whether it pleases the
youngster to take the sidewalk or the
middle Of the road. An Old citizen, be
he ever so dignifed, never hesitates to
act when he hears the wild ki-yi Of the
small boy and the awful swish Of the
dog and sleigh, either in front or be-
hind him. He tumbles into the snow
drift, climbs fence or gets behind a
telegraph pole without hesitation. He
acknowledges the right of the small
boy to the sidewalk and knows that If
he hesitates to act he may turn invol-
untary handsprings and astonishing
somersaults as the team SCOTS between
his legs, and that the boy won't even
lose his hat and will be beyond the
reach of vengeance long before he
finds where he is at Then il he COM
plains he will be laughed at. Z.
At the 500, Ishpeming, Negaunee
and other towns regular dog races for
prizes are given every winter and they
are very exciting, for. there are sure to
be about as many fights as there are
dog teams, and the race is not always
to the swift, but the dog that is the
best fighter and can finish his opponents
the quickest usually gets to the win
ming post first. Owners Of dogs that
can run like jack rabbits, but can't
fight worth cent, have tried to over
come this scrapping BY the use OF a
wire cage armor for their dogs, but this.
seems only to set all the dogs after the
luck1ess wight who wears the rig.

"This is reversing Rip Van Wrinkles
