Lucky He Wasn't Bald.

A local athlete, on entering Turkish
bath the other night, found a stranger
struggling in the swimming pool The
man was evidently unable to swim and
had jumped in without ascertaining
whether the water would be above his
head. There was no attendant to warn
or rescue him. The athlete swan to the
assistance OF the struggling man. Grasp
ing him by the hair, he towed him TO the
side of the tank and assisted him TO hang
on until he recovered his breath. What

Dickens "Christmas Carol"

The Christmas book is of course tho
"Carol" and with one possible ex-
ception the best of tho series-which has
long ranked among the most universally
popular of its authors works. Rarely has
a book which made SO great an effect and
took so high a place in public favor been
produced under circum stances of such hlgh
pressure and i'm so short space OF time.
The "ghost of an idea, which, as Charles
Dickens said in his preface, gave birth to
"this ghostly little book, came to him
during visit to Manchester in October,
1S43, and tho story was completed before
the end of November, the time available
for its composition being such spare hours
as were not actually needed for the two
numbers of martin ChuZzlowit," F" then in
progress. 1t was tremendous piece OF
work and was not without remarkable
effect upon its author, young and vigorous
as he was.
Writing to Professor FELTON,, after the
book was published, he said: "Over which
christmas Carol Charles Dickens wept
and laughed, and wept again, and excited
himself in a most extraordinary manner
i'm the composition, and thinking WHEREOF
be walked about the black streets of Lon
don, Is and 20 miles, many night when
all the sober folks had gone to bed.
To keep the 'Chuzzlewit' going and to do
this little book, the Carol, In the odd
time between two parts OF 1t was, as you
NAV suppose, pretty tight work. "-Charles
Dickens, the Younger, in Good Words.

WOLVES IN NORWAY.
Said to Have Increased In Numbers With
In Recent Years.

During the last two or three years
wolves have withoutsdoubt increased con-
siderably In Norway. Not only have they
committed good deal of damage among
domestic animals, but in some cases the
elk have been so prosecuted by them as to
be obliged to take refuge among the
haunts of men In tho Sclbo district, near
Trondhjem, the remains of several elks
were found i'm tho forest, with the tracks
of the bloodthirsty brutes showing plenti-
fully in the snow all round. while many
moro of the big deer must undoubtedly
have fallen victims to their ravcnous ap-
petites. Two mon driving n sleigh with
secpers for tho railway camo across big
elk i'm sore plight. Three of tho pack which
had attacked him lay around dead or dy.

he himself could barely stand. Needless
to say, the worthy peasants made tho most
of the occasion. They killed tho unhappy
bull, and they claimed and received the
government reward for each of tho wolves.
Only, however, when they are In droves

THE ERA OF SKILLED LABOR.
Men Who Know How Are Always Sure Of
Situation.

Skilled labor Is In greater demand than
ever. In some trades 1t is at "a premium,
and there Is a confessed paucity of the best
material. There are various reasons both
for the scarcity and the demand. In new
and constantly multiplying mechanical
appliances we have conditions that insist
on special abilities Some of these involve
not only deftness and dexterity of hand,
but mental grasp of all that Is related or
contributory to the end In view. In others
it Is simply a special and trained aptitude
for but one link in a series to complete the
chain.
In the process of production each man
has his place, and to be efficient each hu-
man cog in the wheel must keep time with
the rest. 1t Is evident that in so perfectly
arranged a system the directive skill of
the machine must be of high order to
run successfully. The superintendent
OF large plant under these conditions in
wolves heavy responsibilities and requires
much more than mere technical knowl-
edge of the trade. Here the foreman has
| to be more than mechanic.
The same principle has been recognized
In all the professions. In literature, law,
medicine, science, etc., education on one
| point prosupposes a knowledge or study of
all other matters related to special pur-
suit. In the focus of these we have the
capable lawyer physician or scientist. The
industrial world has to revolve on the
same axis, and the successful manager of
a modern plant has to understand not only
what a machine can do and ought to do,
but the nature of the material he uses,
what its tochncalities signify and the
bearing of other related products on the
value Of the one he handles. All this Is in
line with the progress of education.
Aside from this, it Is also fact that
competition demands increasing produc-
tive powers at declining rate of time and
cost. The best machine and the best man
are coordinate in modern conditions OF
manufacture. AS labor Is being rapidly
released from many Of it's old forms OF
hand work, even Go the excavating of sew
ers and the digging of coal, the demand
for skilled labor as apart from mere phys
ical force will increase. To keep pace with
these new conditions we are establishing
our manual and technical schools and rub
bing up some of tho forgotten duties ant
claims of the apprenticeship system. They
all converge on one point-the era o.
skilled labor.-Age of Steel.

On Saturday October 2, the Copper
County Evening News published a re-
print OF the st. Louis Republic headed,
"rrade in bogus diplomas; bogus colleges
grant fraudulent medical certificates;
hundreds posing as physicians who are
not entitled TO practice, nearly all hold
ing these diplomas are ignorant OF the
rudiments OF medicine
that there are two of these bogus col

few months ago there was another hold

sin, but in consequences OF the removal OF
it's headquarters to illinois the charter
has been forfeited at the instigation Of
the State officials.
Long before the above article appeared
in the local papers have we warned the
people OF the copper country OF the un-
scrupulous men who are rractIcing med
icine; there are thous aDds Of them scat
tered throughout this country, who make
living by praying upon the sick and
afflicted; we have long warned the people
to be careful whom tney employ as their

either bought or stolen piece OF paper,
and after filing in his name, calls ita

and in every professioI we find some
who are an honor to their fellow work

The people of the copper country have

A GREAT BASEBALL SERIES.
E,ss Boston and Providence Battled In
the League In 1884


Probably one of the grandest series of
baseball games played by National league
,lubs was that between tho Bostons and
the Providence Grays in 1884. The Bos-
tons had won the championship of 1888,
and it was the ambition of Providence
cranks, who lived only 40 miles away from
the Hub, to wrest the laurels from the
Bean Eaters. Every game that was played
between tho clubs was attended by i'm
mense crowds, and tho excitement was at
white heat.
The first game of tho series in 1854 was
one of Is innings and resulted in Il tie,
the score standing l TO /. Tho pitchers
were Charley Radbourne and Jim Whit
ney, and 10, 600 persons saw tho battle
The next day Providence won by score
of 2 to l in nine innings and Charley
Sweeney struck out 10 Boston batsmcn.
OF the first eight games Boston won Eve
and Providence thrco. Whom it camo
time to meet for the four final struggles,
the Providence team had won every cries
from the other League clubs and wanted
80 win the series from the Bostuns too
Radbourne accordingly YVES assigned to
pitch in all four games on four successive
days. He was in such magnificent form
that in ali of the games the Bostons were
beaten and scored the sum total of ono
run. One of the games lasted 4 innings.
1t was played in Boston and was finally
won by the rthode Islanders by score of
too. Arthur Irwin, who was the short
stop for Providence drove long fly to-
ward the right field fence, and the ball
went through hole between the boards.
| 1t was four bagger and decided the game.
Radbournes wonderful pitching in
| those days will never be forgotten by those
| who saw him perform. He went into the
! box game after game and pitched for 10
| consecutive contests. 1t was his remark
| able twirling that was instrumental in
| helping Providence to win the pennant
that year. Sweeney jumped the club in
| the middle of the season, and Rad went
| along single handed. One feat that was
the talk of the baseball world in 1888 was
his pitching in an exhibition game at
| Trenton. The home club would not allow
Providence to play with the regulation
League ball and insisted upon substituting
another of lighter weight. Radbourne,
however, accepted the latter ball and pro
| ceeded to strike out every man who came
| to the bat until one man had been retired
in the sixth inning. Then player foulet
| the ball, which had not been done before
The pitching distance then was 40 feet
from the home plate.-New York Sun.
