Interesting items Gathered in the
Gopher State
Game Preserve.

Two Harbors-There are now no
less than 1000 deer on Grand island,
the Cleveland Cliffs Iron company's
big game preserve in the northeastern
end of Lake Superior. The island
contains about $4,000 acres and pos
sesses many bays. 1t is a natural
breeding and feeding ground for deer
and moose, as we'll as for grouse and
other birds, while the bays and inland
lakes are natural water for many
kinds of fish.
There are eight fullgrown moose
and several calves. The elk, of which
q few were brought to the island some
years ago, are increasing rapidly.
There are also some caribou, but
these are rarely seen. a 24-strand
wire fence encloses the northwestern
portion of the island and prevents the
animals escaping to the mainland.
However, deer are occasionally seen
swimming to and from the island, and
it is probable that more come in than
go out, as in the game preserve hunt
ers do not worry them.

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug
qist in Your Town and Shake
Them in a Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, ETC., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription If asked to.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.

"My little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about year and half of suf-
fering he grew so bad had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. l
sent to the drug store and got cake
of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. l used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell

Unlucky Thief.

Hokah-Chicken thieves who have
been operating on large scale in this
county for several weeks lost the big
end of their game recently. A great
disturbance was raised one night by
the chickens and dog on a farm near
here, and the woman Of the house,
who was alone, ventured out with the
shotgun to ascertain the cause of the
noise.
No one was seen, but she fired the
gun and returned to the house. Early
next morning she found pocketbook,
and great was her surprise, on open.
ing it, to discover 5000 in cash.
Later in the day she was visited by
chicken buyers" who insisted upon
seeing her chickens, even after being
told that she had none for sale. But
their principal business was to make a
careful search of the spot where she
had found the pocketbook. No ques-
tions were asked and her visitors soon
departed.

FOOTBALL EARNED ROUND
SUM FOR YALE In 1906
Athletic Receipts and Expenses for
Year Made Public by Finan-
cial Union.

Athletics at Yale university for the
year ending September 1, 1906, accord
ing to a report given out the other
day by the finance committee of the
Yale financial snion, netted an in.
crease of $4,000 in the four major
branches as compared with the re-
ceipts for the previous year.
While the financial year ends in
September, the annual report of the
financial union is not completed until
about one year later, which accounts
for the fact that the report for 1906
football showed a gain of $4,000.
The finance committee. consisting
of Henry B. Sargent, Theodore S.
Woolsey and Walter Camp, in it's re-
view of the year, points out a consid-
cradle saving in expenses as COM
pared with the previous year, due to
various reforms.
From the short balance sheets
these figures are taken: Baseball, re-
ceipts $22.406, expenses, $1S,691; boat
club, receipts $7,026, expenses Sis, ,493;
football receipts $73,429; expenses
$35,652; athletic association (for gen.
eral sports. etc., receipts $2,362; ex-
penses $12,65a; appropriation to Yale
gymnasium $1,000 Yale field, re-.
ceipts $93, expenses $1,120.
The balance carried forward is $1S,-
600. The reserve fund, which event
ually will be devoted to a new Yale
boat house and improvements at the
field, is now $123,419.
From the separate accounts some
of the figures are as follows: Foot
ball, Columbia game, $5,538; Harvard
game $35,954; Princeton game $28,161.
The training table cost $3,762, trav1
cling $2,217, street car fares $59S; car
riages $S4O, sporting goods s3,413,
hotels and meals $6,464, doctors and!
medicine $743, trophies and prizes
$1,0O9, rubbers, alcohol, ETC., $1,OO3,
press clippings $500, administration
salaries, etc., $7,755.
For the crew the subscriptions were
$3,163, the observation train $1,6OS.
The expenses were twice the amount
of receipts, in addition to $4,000 paid
off on the Gales Ferry quarters mort.
gage.
From the baseball accounts it is
seen that the Princeton game brought
in $6,213, and the Harvard game
$9,042. The track athletics at Har.
ward netted $1,0S3.

Nearly Killed.

Worthington-Marie Lawson, seven
years old, and Clarence McClauskey,
aged six, were run over by a loaded
wagon on the street, and both are in
a critical condition.
A teamster was hauling wood with
two wagons, one being hitched to the
other. The children were playing in
the street and they ran in between
the wagons and got on the tongue Of
the second wagon.
A jolt threw them to the ground.
The wheels of the second wagon
passed over the head of the little
girl, inflicting a large scalp wound
and fracturing the skull.
The wheel passed over the chest of
the little boy, fracturing bones and
injuring him internally.
The driver, who was on the front
end of the first wagon, did not notice
the children at all and only learned
of the accident by being told after it
had occurred.

There is one strong element of our
natures that is detrimental to our adj
Vancement and that is SelfishneSs
After carefully considering what eff
feet association, drink, and education
have, one must see that they are but
secondary TO self1Shness in deleterious
erect, and that primarily selfishness
Is the root of all evil. The machinists
as a class, associate mostly with other
working men, who, as an average, are
no better than we, either intellectual
ly or morally and afflicted with that
same malady, selfishness. Strong
drink is one of the worst evils that
dissect our rank and as a consequence
of its injudiciOus use by a large part
OF our members, the whole craft is
held in a lower esteem. The use OF
beer or whiskey is not wrong, but to
abuse of it is wrong; wrong to man,
God, and fellow man. 1t is an injury
to body and mind, an insult to God
by wantOnly abusing a healthy body
and an reconsideration of the rights
of his fellow man by imposing a sOr-
did, slOven and objectionable condi-
ton upon the respectable public. Any
man who INDUCES to a state of inebrl-
alton is giving expression to that
element of selfishness that creates the
most of our troubles. He has no re
spect for himself, and no regard for
the right of others. His only desire
is to crafty his own aggravated pas
sions at the expense of his manhood.
God hates a coward and no man re-
spects one, and any man is a moral
coward who cannot or will not control
his appetite. The continual use of
strong drink drains the powers of a
man like leak in a reservoir
