A SMALL BOYS SCHEME.

Promised "a splendid Result 10
His Mind.

A small boy who il not familiar with rural
ways was taken by his fond mamma Tor a
brief stay IN the country.
On a farm in neighboring county he
waxed lat and sunbarnt, and picked up a
wondrous store OF astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smllingly said to his
mother:
"Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs
in the stable for!'
So the very first opportunity the mother
said TO the six-year-old:
MY dear what did YOU do with those eggs
you took from the hen house,"
"Oh, mamma replied the boy, II didn't
want you TO know about t..
"Why, it's all right" said mamma, II only
want to know what my boy did with them;
81 hid them in the stable, said the little
fellow
"And what for;"
"'Cause It's my scheme"
"Nour scheme! And what 10 your
schemes"
"Why, you see, mamma said the little
philosopher, "when eggs is horned in q
chicken house they is always little chickens
an | fink if they was horned in a stable deg
might be little horses"
1t is needless to add that up 10 the tim,
of his leaving the farm the miracle was still
unaccomplshed.-Cle Plain Dealer

Richard Wallace was appointed

secure suitable ground and have it

Ore Shipments.

Shipments from the Chandler are
being rushed at double quick and the
steam shovel is busy night and day.
Early in the season trouble was eX-
perienced in getting transportation
facilities but at present is aavilable
in abundance. This condition is &C.
casioned by the falling off in ships
ments from the Mesaba range where
the larger part of the stocks have
been moved.
The Pioneer has instructions to ins
crease their shipments and in consea
quence next week will probably see q
steam shovel at work on the stock
pile. The loading heretofore has
been done at this mine by means OF
day labor on the contract system btu
this has been found too slow.
