or Tuesday night held its sixth an
nual banquet in honor of the patron
saint of Ireland. From every point OF
view the banquet was the best that
has ever been held Oh St. Patrick :
day in this city.
The dining room was "a thing OF
beauty and Joy forever On one side
was the celebrated harp and on the
other side the Stars and Stripes.
Covers had been land for 200 guests
and every chair was occupied.
The menu was up to tha usual West
Superior standard, which is all that
can be said in that line. While the
guests were eating they were charmed
by the strains of several familiar Irish
melodies played by Lignell's orchestra.
After partaking of this sumptuous re-
past President Hughes called for the
report of the secretary, which WAS
read and showed the society to be
in q fiourishing condition. The next

pointed Alderman Tiedman, Bartho-

Alderman Newburg wants the city
to establish a free ferry between the
natural entry opposite Allouez bay
and the mainland for the accommoda-
tion of the army of laboring men who
will be employed in the government
work on the new pier. Mr.. Newburg
thought the establishment of such a
ferry would tend TO discourage the
extension of the street car line from
Duluth along minnesota Point to the
entry in which latter case a majority
of the men employed at the works
would go into Duluth instead of com
ing to Superior.

An Unfortunate Remark.

One pleasant day last fall, so the
story goes, President Hadley OF Yale
was strolling through the beautiful
campus of Dartmouth College with his
wife on his arm. They were admiring
the beautiful buildings which dot the
campus. several of them haveing been
erected by wealthy alumni. Presently
thew came to an especially noble nall,
built of stone, and occupying a COM
handing Site Over the main entrance
was a marble tablet which announced
that the hall had been erected by
"John C. Blank as memorial to his
Beloved Wife.
President Hadley stood and looked
at the noble pile for moment. Then
he heaved a sigh that was almost en-
vious.
"Ah." he said, "that is what | should
like to do for my college.
And to this day, the boys declare,
President Hadley cannot understand
why his wife should have looked SO
horrifed.-St. Louis Mirror

young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
friendless and who, during the first two
years, earned only $500, working beside
tank foul with the smell of oil; but
to-day, there is scarcely a drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
In another walk of life, we see at the
head of a great college, man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school.
The great captains of industry of to-
day were the poor boys of thirty years
ago. 1t was not wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities i; they fought their own
battles; they have won.

are essentials in the foundation on which

realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he

Those who have studied the lives of
successful men will tell you that they all
possessed a certain force of character

direct the actions of others. John D.
