the results Of the township elections,

A valuable horse belonging to S.
d. Murphy was quite badly injured
Sunday afternoon by being struck
by the train. The animal had strayed
onto the track and in an attempt to
cross culvert had become entan-
gled between the ties. Before the
horse could extricate itself the train
struck it, but fortunately was not
killed.
1t is understood that the manage
ment of the High School basket ball
team has made q reply to the broad
challenge of the Crystal Falls team
which appeared in these columns
last week. 1t appears that the
L'Anse team has endeavored on sew
eral occasions to get o game with the
Crystal Falls team, but have been
unable to do SO. Now the oppor-
tunity has again presented itself TO
the boys and it has been taken up.
Now it is up to the hematite city
team to show the color Of their
goods.
Instead Of saying "Skidoo" the
person who wishes to keep his slang
pure and up-to-date advises his an
noyer to "go roll your hoop" Dol
lars are not referred to any more in
polite society rs ''cartwheels" or
disks" but are called Iron men. :"
That old favorite, ''cut it out, every
one will be glad to learn has been
succeeded by ''go can it," and in
stead of ''imbibing too freely" you
must lick up the wealthy water"
This will be q relief, but there is
still the English language for those
who prefer It.
