THE FRISKY COMET.

What's the good OF further worry

Why try longer for an airship that

Let us stop our fuss and fretting

Let us ;urn aside from trouble over

Let as hang our pack Of worries on
the most convenient nail,
For they'll all be smashed to nothing
when the comet swings It's tail.
1t Is not worth while to argue over
how or why we shall
Dig the ditch and hx the level OF the
Isthmian canal;
II Is not worth while to ponder over

INSANITY

IL has commonly been said that
lunacy was increasing in the mod
ern world. But Mr.. Noel Humph-
reys in his paper read before the
Statistical society proclaims the the
ory that lunacy is not increasing
at all. According to his Ingenious
statements the apparent increase is
due not to the grown of lunacy but
to the growth OF the care OF lunacy
To put the matter shortly. he holds
that IL is not so much that there
are more madmen but that there are
more mad doctors.
Substantially his case appears very
sound. There can be little doubt
that many men are now nut I'm asv-
lums who would I'm previous ages
have been allowed TO wander In tho
meadows or to play about the street
There can be little doubt that many
men are now called insane who in
other times would merely have been
called wicked, and IL is possible that
many are now called madmen who
In other times would merely have
been called saints.
The only question is whetbor this
scientific harvest OF all the lunatics
alive Is so great an improvement as
1t looks. There can be no doubt that
the wise men have come from all the
ends Of the earth to capture the vii

Death of Charles N00nan.

Word was received in Hurley last
Friday announcing the death of
Charles Noonan at St. Mary's hospi-
tai in Duluth of diptheria. Charles
has been on the Mesaba range for
the past two years working at his
trade and on Monday OF last week
he went to Duluth to accept a posi-
ton in barber shop. When he
got to Duluth he complained OF be-
ing i'll and went to see a doctor who
made light of his sickness. He
continued to work at the barber
shop until Friday, his condition
gradually getting worse, and he
had to be taken to the hospital
where he died twelve hours later.
His body was brought to Hurley
Monday from Duluth and funeral
services were conducted Tuesday
afternoon from Gutekunst & Galda-
bini's undertaking rooms and burial
followed at the Hurley Catholic
cemetery beside the remains of his
father.
Charles Noonan was born at
Mauston, this state, October II,
1885. In 1886 the family came to
Hurley and has resided here ever
since. Charles followed the barber
trade as a profession. He gained
quite reputation as a baseball
player, having played shortstop for
the Hurley team for three years
and with the Bessemer and Bay.
field teams the past two seasons.
In the spring of 1904 he was united
in marriage to Miss Leila Good
nough at Bessemer, who with a two
year old son, his aged mother. and
several brothers and sisters survive
him. The news of Charley's death
came as a distinct shock to his old
teammates of the Hurley ball team
and the people of Hurley, as he was:
universally liked and respected by
all who knew him.--Hurley Miner.

Preparing to do Exploratory Work.

1t is understood that large inter-
ests are preparing to do lot of ex-
ploratory work on the ore forma-
ton between Tower and Ely. Here
is territory 20-odd miles in extent,
across which the iron formation
can be traced all the way, yet thus
far there have been no mines dis
covered between the two towns. A
prominent iron man says that he is
convinced that numerous mines
will be discovered between Tower
and Ely. He, thinks it is the most
likely place for discovery of new
ore deposits in the state. The work
there thus far has been of a desul-
tory nature and by companies that
lacked sufficient funds to carry out
their plans as fully as they would
like.-Tower News.

HAS the LAUGH TURNED on J,iEm,
Son of W. T. Bailey Shows lumbermel
Where They Get Off At.

An interesting report has just
been made to the department of the
state auditor on the scaling of a
tract of timber on state land six
miles north of Biwabik.
The timber was purchased at
public sale in the capitol last Octo-
Der by r. r. Bailey, young lum-
herman of Virginia, and was the
tract on which the high price re-
cord for state timber was broken.
Bailey paid 1885 per thousand,
which was $3.50 higher than had
ever before been paid for state
timber. Other lumbermen at the
sale joked Bailey good deal about
the price he paid, and even carried
the joke 80 far as to telegraph his
father, w. T. Bailey, who was then
in the west.
"Come home quick. Your son is
getting rash with his money"
Those same jokers have since,
however, had the laugh turned on
them by the young lumberman. He
sold his state permit to the Scott
Graft Lumber company of Duluth
for a $500 bonus. The tract was
scaled by state cruisers before
the sale at 100000 feet. The report
just made by the Duluth concern
to the auditor is to the effect that
they have already cut 100000 feet,
and that 100000 remains to be cut;
that this would have been cut this
season but for the fact that small.
pox broke out in their lumber
camp.-News Tribune.
