IN JUSTICE COURT.
Action Brought by Edward Anderson
to Recover Rental for Barn.

Monday morning session of JUS
tice court was held in the Fire Hall,
Judge Harvey Selden presiding.
The case before the court was an
action brought by Edward Ander-
son, of Pequaming, against Bernt
Olson, to recover rental money on
barn utilized by the defendant TO a
period dating on and off since 1900.
The case occupied the greater por-
tion OF the day, and it was we'll into
the afternoon before the jury re-
turned verdict. The jury rendered
a judgment in favor Of. the plaintiff
in the amount OF S2l and costs. The
amount asked for in the proceed
ings was 1924.

MUST BE IN ENVELOPES.
Some Kinds Of Postcards Unmailable
Unless Properly Enclosed.

People who wish to remember alb
sent friends by sending them SOU
venir postal cards should bear in
mind that postoffice regulations are
somewhat peculiar as to the mailing
OF such things.
The so.called illuminated cards,
those with ground glass, mica or
similar substances on their surface,
are unmailable unless enclosed in an
envelope. Following this order,
which went into effect last February,
many cards were held up at post
offices, but now the number has
dwindled down. The cards are sent
to the dead letter Office and never
reach the people for whom they were
intended.
If post cards are mailed 10 sealed
envelopes, transparent or not, full
letter postage must be paid If en-
closed in unsealed envelopes letter
postage must be paid if the cards
bear any message in writing. If the
cards are entirely in print they will
go as third-class matter.

A GOOD GAME.
LAnse and Houshton High school Foo
Ball Teams Met on the Local Grid
iron Saturday Last.

Saturday last the L'Anse and
Houghton high school elevens met
in the first game OF the season ou
the local gridiron, which was at
tended by large and enthusiastic
crowd.
The game opened by L'Anse kick
ing off to Houghton, the ball going
over the opponents line. Wortley,
of Houghton, tried to run the ball
out again but was tackled by Camp.
bell, which netted L'Anse safety
and the first and only score of the
game, making it within one minute
from the start.
During the remainder of the first
half L'Anse kept the ball in Hough-
ton territory. Near the end the
ball was run out of Hough
ton S bounds, and before a scri IN
mage line could be formed the ball
was thrown to Heughens, who ran
behind L'Anse's goal, thereby claim
ing touchdown, which was not al
lowed by the referee, on account of
its being an illegal play. The first
half ended without either side scor-
ing again.
In the second half Houghton kept
the ball in L'Anse territory most of
the time. L'Anse played an excel
lent defensive game, and about Il Q
middle of the half Houghton was
forced to punt, the ball going over
the locals line and touchback re-
suited
At this point the ball was brought
to the 25-yard line by L'Anse and
punted to Houghton, but Hougbton
was held near the center Of the field
until near the end Of the half, when
Wortley made a splendid run but
was tackled on L'Anse yard line.
Time was called before another
scrimmage could take place.
The score stood at the end Of the
game to in favor of the l. Anse
team. j. ]. o Connor acted in the
capacity of referee, and Krellwit
umpire. The linesmen were Messrs.
Smith and Mulstrom. The team is
to de congratulated upon its success
in the first game Of the season and
certainly deserves all the support
which may be given them. The
team will go to Calumet today where
they will meet the High School team
of that city.

the u. S. S. Yantic, has announced
that if the weather is fair next Sun
day the ship will be taken out by the
Hancock naval division for cruise.
The orders will not be definitely
given out until today, however. The
reserve is willing to 90 out on a
cruise at any time in ordinary bad
weather, but the storms OF the past

cruise suicidal. II the cruise is taken

A Fair Time Sonnet.

When Autumn comes, I'd like to go
To Houghton Fair again.
Each taffy stand and fakir,
Each sheep and pig and hen,
Has a voice that calls and draws me
Til I'm longing to be there;
So much, so much I'd like to 90
Again to Houghton Fair.
I'd like to slip in through the gate,
Just as 7 used TO do,
When | was hardly ticket age"
But still big boy, too;
And stand beside the fountain,
Where the water bubbles up,
And drink delight and microbes
From rusty old tin cup.
To watch the high school bellies and
beaux
Come down the promenade,
Each with a season ticket,
And broad, glad smile arrayed.
To stand on tiptoe by the pens,
OF fatted calves and sheep,
And poke my fingers through the
bars
To make the chickens ''yeep."
I'd like to crowd through the Amphi,
drome
And skin my elbows there,
A pushing up the right-hand,
And down the left-hand stair;
To gaze upon show cases of
False teeth and diamond rings,
And crazy quilts and floral wreaths,
And peach preserves and things.
And then quite suddenly to come
Upon a lifelong friend,
The tatting dolly which remarked
you see, I'm here again;
I've had first prize for five straight
years,
And still don't mean to quit. "
/ often wonder if that tatting
Dolly triumphs yet?
And then when / could tear myself
Away from this delight,
I'd like to stroll across the grounds,
To where each country wight
May have his photo taken,
With his sweetheart by his side,
Her hand upon his shoulder,
And his face alight with pride.
. To lean across the railing
And watch old friends and neigh.
bors
Shake hands and come and go,
And hear the rival Dangers
On pianos down below.
I'd like to watch the whirlagig,
And ride a dozen times,
And envy richer kids their hoards
OF nickels and OF dimes.
Well, childhood S days are over,
It's joys have passed, but them
When autumn comes, I'd like to go
To Houghton Fair again;
And / wonder II in spite of years,
And all times woudrous changes,
Armory Hall is still packed full
OF Gas Stoves and Ranges.
And when the day was over,
And night began to come,
Id like to hear the band strike up,
And march away for home;
And Id like to tag behind them,
A listening to the sound,
And wishing that the Houghton Fair
Might last the whole year around.
