Some person with a head as long
as an old style army musket, de-
clares that the average person trims
off the thirty second part of an inch
from each finger nail week. or
about an inch and half every year.
The average of human life all over
the world is 40 years. There are
1,3OO, 600, 600 people in the world,
who, therefore, waste on an average
2S, 400 miles of fingernails in a
generation.
A somewhat reckless youth, who
had enlisted for the war and had
spent his time in writing home for
money, finally sent this telegram as
''clincher:" Father: Leg shot
off in sham battle. Send all the
funds you can" To this the old
man replied "Son, don't know
your number, but wooden leg goes
to you by express. If it doesn't fit
get camp carpenter to plane it.
Best love. All we'll here. "
Charles Rambaud, of this city.
was released from the county Jail
Wednesday, where he has served
nine months for trespassing on
timber lands. 1t will be re-
membered that he was sentenced
in the United States court at
Marquette to Imprisonment in the
Baraga county Jail for eight
months and to pay fine of So, 900.
After serving his sentence and
one month additional, his release
was secured under the poor debtor
act, showing, to the satisfaction of
u. S. Court Commissioner Francis
Moore that he had no money with
which to pay the fine imposed.
1t is learned that an excursion
party from Houghton, numbering
about three hundred people, had
planned to come to L'Anse to spend
a day, in the course of a week or
two, but will doubtless be
obliged to go to some
other point, as the dock here
is not in proper condition to permit
the excursionists to land from the
boat. The dock has never been re-
paired since the fire two years ago,
and is in wretched condition and
unsafe for travel. 1t is indeed
to be regretted that such parties
are forced to give the town the
go o.by, and it seems as though it
would be policy to repair the dock
so that it would be passable and
serviceable for occasions OF this
kind.
