The Efficacy of a Countersign.

While Colonel Gillian, with the Mid
die Tennessee Regiment, was occupying
Nashville during the late war, he sta
toned sentries and patrols in all the
principal streets of the city. One day
a Irishman who had not been long en-
listed was put on duty at a prominent
crossing, and he kept a sharp and faith
full watch. Presently citizen came
along.
Halt! Who goes there?"
"A citizen" was the response.
Advance and give the countersign "
L have not the countersign,' replied
the indignant citizen, land the demand
for 1t at this time and place is unusual. "
We'll, begorrah! ye don't pass this
way until ye say Bunker HILL"
The citizen, appreciating the situa-
ton, smiled and advanced to the sentry,
and cautiously whispered the magic
words.
Right! Pass on!' and the wide
awake sentinel resumed his beat.-Har-
per's Round Table.

A sad Case.

One of the old residents of Calumet
called at the News Office this morning
and stated his son, who is lad con-
siderably under age, has no difficulty in
procuring beer and spirits at the saloons
in this neighborhood although it would
be impossible to Judge he was oyer age
from his appearance. The young fellow
very often goes home in state of intoxi-
cation, but refuses to say where be OBJ
tanned the liquor. The father does not
wish to disgrace his son by publishing
his name. but If he does not mend his
ways or il the saloon keeper continues to
supply him with liquor, the father will.
in order to attempt to save his son, take
proceedings against the saloon keepers
whom ne may find supplying the liquor,
and therefore saloon keepers should for
their own sakes, il not for the sake OF
deceney and morality, refrain from sup
plying any boy with liquor.

Erickson, from Escanaba or st Pau
or where even he halls from, may be able
to skate, but II he can't give better ex-
hibitlon OF speed than be showed last
evening at Lake Linden, or last Satur-
day evening in this city, he had better go
out of business. Some people thought
he was taking " hen Dayey beat him, bnt
when Thompson won last nights event
they came To the conclusion that he
might go down in tae iron country, but
he certainly does not race ia the class OF
Calumet skaters. Thompson had Yeri-
table snap last evening and the race was
almost identical with the one Davey and
Erickson skated last week. Thompson
got good start aud before the fourth
lap bad been skated had passed Erickson
and kept increasing his lead until the
end, when he was three quarters OF lap
ahead. The time was 1897, which is
good when it is considered that eighteen
laps were skated, making 100 feet more
than the mile.
Thou son and Erickson will leave for
the iron country Saturday. John Mar
tin, fast skater at Ishpeming, has chal-
lenged Thompson and they Will race at
the Bancroft rink Monday evening. A
race with DesRocheau may also be ar
ranged. Tuesday night Erickson and
Thompson will skate at Escanaba, when
lie will have better opportunity OF
showing his abilities, Wednesday night
Thompson and Call, OF Delta county will
meet at Gladstone and Thompson expects
to be home by the end OF the week.

An organization that is doing a great
deal OF good for it's members in a quiet
sort OF way is the Young Mems Athletic
Club which was organized early last fall
and has been holding regular meetings
ever since. The club started out with a
small beginning, but now enjoys a large
membership and the boys are working
hard in the interest OF the organization.
The first meetings were held in the Ital-
ian Hall where lot Of gymnasium ap.
paratus was set up and classes met regu-
larry. The members OF the club took
turns at leading the classes and much
benefit was derived in this wsy. A few
weeks ago the boys moved over to
Lanctot's Hall in Laurium, where they
are now much more comfortably stu
ated. The members all take an interest
in the work.
