eous. Those that doubted now believe
he viii do just as he promises. About
three months ago Or. Blankner an
nounced to the people of Houghton coun-
ty that he would locate in Red Jacket
permanently and that he would equip a
medical and dental institute with all
modern appliances. He now has the
most thoroughly equipped dental Office

staff OF expert dentists Of any Office in
the county, yes, you might say the State.
DR.. BlankDer's original method of pain

proven to be just what he claims. Daily
his Office on the corner OF Seventh and
Oak streets is crowded with people from
all over the county. DR.. Blankner has all
OF his work divided into specialties, there
by assuring the very highest class OF work
possible. Mrs. Blankner has established
the fact that never has she had an equal
the Upper Peninsula in the art OF ex-
tracing teeth without pain. She has ex-
tracted over 5000 teeth and all who
have teeth extracted bv her will have the
price charged for extracting deducted
rom the plates when made.
DR.. Blankner has achiev d reputation
as being one OF the most successful doc

The Women of Guiana.

The wife Of the cody in Guiana is a
woman who is very much to be envied.
Every gold or silver piece her husband
receives for his services is beaten into
personal trinkets to be worn by his bet
ter half. In this condition it constitutes
the cash wealth Of the family. 1t is per-
fectly safe, as it is as much as any man 8
life is worth to touch the trinkets SO long
as the woman wears them. These same
women are also noted for their beauty.
Their features are straight and perfect,
their eyes beautiful in color and their
forms perfect models Of symmetry and
grace. Dressed in soft, filmy materials,
rich in color and eastern figures, they
present strangely oriental and fantastic

SAILED THE COW TO A FAIR.
Aud This Cape Colder Captain Got First
Prize In % Special Glass.

Prize In Special Glass.
When / was down on Cape Cod. l
heard an amusing story about an old
sea captain and his cow. Captain Pat
terson. after sailing the sea for more
than 40 years, finally retired TO little
| farm near Barnstaple, where he settled
| down, with ,lorse, cow and two or
| three dozen heuS His COW, though q
! lank and rather stubborn creature, was
said to come from very good stock, and
when the Barnstaple people took II into
| their heads 10 have fair Captain Pat
terson determined 10 exhibit his COW.
But when the day came for driving
her TO the grounds the COW showed that
she had mind of her own and would
not bulge step beyond the farmyaId
gate In vain the old captain tugged mt
the rope, pummeled her sides and push
ed her TANKS The COW wanted TO 60
10 pasture and was bound she wouldn't
go TO the fair.
Captain Patterson's patience was
very nearly gone, when suddenly an
idea occurred 20 him. Though he was
not strong enough himself TO force the
cow TO go 10 the fair his training sug-
gested something that was. Tying the
COW to the gatepost, he went up into
the loft of his barn and threw down an
old sail stepped TO a dory mast. Then
he put horses blanket belt through an
iron ring, strapped the belt around the
cow, inserted the end of the mast in the
ring and bound the mast TO the side of
the COW with some 90 feet of rope.
The wind blew "quartering, and
when the captain united the cow and
raised the sail the canvas swelled out
over the cows back, and away she went
Siding" down the road, mooing and
plunging and trying TO stop herself in
vain. Captain Patterson seized her tail,
and using it as rudder guided her
skillfully in the right direction. With
every fresh puff of. wind the obstinate
COW would be hurried along faster,
while the dust blew up in clouds and
the sail tapped and tugged as Captain
Patterson held TO the mainsheet with
one hand and the cows tail with the
other
It was hard voyage for both of
them, but not long one, and when
they came in sight of the fair ground
everybody ran out to see the remarkable
sight of a COW being sailed through the
streets like a Ship. Cheers and laughter
filled the air, and when the captain
finally whitfield his COW around at the
gate OF the fair ground and brought her
neatly .'up into the wind" the shout
that arose might have been heard two
miles away
Unfortunately Captain Patterson's
COW did not rake one of the prizes for
blooded stock. but the captain himself
was given q special prize by the fair
commissioners for ''the best advice for
getting balky cattle to market. Out

william Lloyd Garrison.

William Lloyd Garrison, son of the
famous abolitionist, said of his father
in recent lecture in Boston: "At home
Mr.. Garrison was cheerful. His sense
Of the ludicrous was very marked. He
was passionately fond of music and had
habit of singing through the house.
Babies were a delight to him and would
be good with him when the mother
could not soothe them. He was very
fond of puns When the servant failed.
he helped in the kitchen. When there
was sickness, he was wonderful nurse.
At table he made the conversation gen.
eral and drew out the most timid."

MAD FOR COCAINE.

Residents of Manchester, Conn.,, Afflicted
 With a General Craze For the Drug.
 The cocaine habit has taken such q hold on the residents of Manchester, Conn.,, that steps are being taken to ob- tain legislative restriction on the sale of the drug. The evil had its inception when local druggist year ago made & preparation of cocaine and menthol which could be used as a snuff. It was intended as . specific for asthma, but the prescription was passed around, and now hundreds of persons have become slaves to the stuff.
 One prominent druggist said that while he had made lot of money on the sale of the compound, he was one of the prime movers in trying to check the evil habit. It had got to such a point that well known men and women went to his house at all hours of the night and made him go to the store and get the stuff for them, threatening if he did not that they would break into the place. He says their condition is pitia- ble.
 SThe persons affected with this vicious habit can be seen on the streets at night apinching' it is called-and at all most any public entertainment they can be seen getting. ill dark corner, where they can enjoy good "pinch " As a rule, there are three or four together, and they all have their turn at treating.
 The preparation costs 90 cents an ounce. Some of the habitues consume as much as s5 worth ih week.
 An experienced physician said that he never heard of place where tho abuse of the drug had become so general and that the future prosperity of the town was involved.

Spain Strengthening Her Navy.

An interesting item in the last pub lication by the naval intelligence office is the statement of the naval construe- tiop that the Spanish government has ill hand. Orders have been given to a big Italian firm near Genoa to build im- mediately an armored cruiser, which will be named the Pedro Aragon. She will be on the lines of the crack cruiser Guiseppi Garibaldi II, which Spain has purchased and rechristened the Cristobal Colon. The latter is to be delivered by the builders to the Spanish government complete next February. Only 15 months are allowed for the construction of the Aragon. Beth of these cruisers are to be supplied with the tubular boilers in vogue ill the French navy. When finished. the vessels will be slight ly more formidable than our best ar mored cruiser, the New York
