ing and Nominate r. II. O'Brien

Saturday afternoon last, in Andrews
Hall lshpeming, occurred the Demo
cratic Congressionanal convention of

with the opening of convention, set
of resolutions were presented and unan-
imously adopted which affirmed the con-
vention's belief in theprinciples of gov
eminent laid down in the platform adopt
ed by the Denver convention and
pledged support to it's candidates for
president and vice-president: it endorsed
the nomination of Lswton T. Hemans

support of progressive citizens to whom
good government stands superior to par
ty regularity

gress was charged with voting and
talking against messmres in congress
designed to carry out the Roosevelt pol
icies.

had not been taken TO punish the par
ties responsible for the loss sustained;
because party machine is IN control of
the Legislative and administrative af-
fairs of the state. The senators and
representatives of the upper peninsula
have been conspicuous, the resolution
stated, in aiding the machine politi-
clans.
The new constitution was disspproved
IF on the ground that II was framed by
men under corporate control.

Few Exhibitors.

Baraga county is reported to be quite
sparsely represented at the Houghton
fair this year from an exhibitors stand
point. Very few have taken interest
this time and we are informed that it
is due greatly to the fact that while the
county is numbered among the four
that is included in the list of counties
in whose interest the Fair is held, none
of. its citizens were recognized last
year at the time of the annual election
of officers. Ontonagon, Keweenaw and
especially Houghton people comprise
the personnel of the board. Why this
county was not considered is mystery
but the feeling which has been of a
warm nature appears to be on the
wane. 1t is whispered that Baraga
county may have Fair of its own
next year.

The Common Things.


The things that happen every day
Are common things, so the grown folks
say,
But am child, and can see
Most wonderful happenings, all for me:
The flower can grow, and the bird can
sing,
But each of these is wonderful thing!
Away to the south, where the air rests
sweet
On meadows of clover and fields of wheat,
Lives the Prince of the Wind, in a castle
hewn
From a gray rock-hill that touches the
And once in while, when the sky is
bright
And the clouds Of summer are floating
white,
The gates of the castle are opened wide
And the Prince of the Wind comes out
to ride.
'Tis something just a child can see,
And not for grown-ups, but for me.
Al IhS ueduO" -idnusi WHeIe the liieS
grow,
Where the reapers sing and the cattle go,
The river dreams as it moves to sea,
And the Heaven above smiles tenderly;
Over its waters she gently bends,
And her glad, bright smile to its depths
she sends
So magic sweet, that through and through
The river warns to a richer blue.
IT'S something just a child can see,
And not for grown-ups, but for me.
The sun Is fire, so the grown folks say,
And warns the earth in its own good
way.
But the sun is the great round crown, l
know,
OF giant, who lost 1t years ago.
He was King Of the Clouds, till one black
day
The Wind, In an anger, swept him away,
And his golden crown, like living thing,
Keeps moving about to find its king.
IT'S something just a child can see,
And not for grown-ups, but for me.
Wnen the night mas come, and the lights
are out
And the shuddering shadows creep about,
The Moon shines down through the cur
tain lace,
With her gentle eyes and her loving face,
And says, with smile that calms me
quite,
"I'm guardian angel over the night.
So go to sleep, don't be afraid,
For child's sweet comfort was I made"
'Tis something just child can see,
And not for grown-ups, but for me.
I'm glad I'm child, for it seems too bad
To miss so much that would make you
glad.

Another Reason.

An English clergyman visiting in this
country told of a jilting that had hap
pened In his parish. He said that he
had an appointment to marry a couple
at 4 on certain afternoon. He ap-
peared duly, and the bride appeared,
but not the bridegroom. The clergy
man and the lady, silent and embar-
rassed, waited In the quiet church from
till @. Then they sadly departed. A
week later the same couple wrote to
the clergyman again, appointing an
other afternoon at for the ceremony.
And again the clergyman and the bride
were on hand duly, and again the
groom failed to turn up. As the two
waited time passed slowly In the still
and empty church. 1t grew darker.
Five O'Clock sounded, then 0. And
then the bride broke the silence with
a ferce ejaculation.

TO MY OLD. UMBRELLA.

honor you, my dear old friend,
For valued favors, without end.
Through sunny days and stormy weather,
We've wandered, arm in arm, together
In times of drought and times of wet
Since the glad hour when frst-we met.
Your faded garments-old and worn
Give evidence of hardships borne.
Your strength has been severely taxed;
You're all unstrung, unnerved, relaxed;
You've now become so old and thin,
You show the ribs beneath your skin,
You're worse, Of late, whene'er IL rains
I'm sure you feel rheumatic pains.
Your joints are stiff; your members shake
And tremble, at each move you make.
Your powers are surely on the wane;
An ordinary hurricane
Or slight touch of cyclone
Would scatter each remaining bonel
You're warped and tattered, l declare,
And looking much the worse for wear;
Your coat shows lcountless holes and
scars,
As If you'd passed through many wars,
Farewell! Your life has been too hard !!
You have my sympathies, old pard!
Forget your ugly gaps and seams,
And lay you down to pleasant dreams,
Peace to your bones! May no rude pest
Encroach upon your place Of rest
No scorching sun disturb your shade,
No drenching storm your peace invade.

Liquor in Norway.

The Samlag system In Norway gives
power to municipalities to grant all the
\retail licenses which 1t deems necessary
to company which would bind itself
to carry on the traffic In the interests
OF the community, with a fixed annual
return of not more than per cent on
Its paid up capital. In establishing
the system the question of compensa-
tion does not appear to have presented
much difficulty. When the Samag was
introduced two kinds of licenses were
In existence first, those granted an
nually or for term not exceeding five
years, and, second, privileged licenses,
granted for the life OF the licensee. In
the case of the first no compensation
whatever was paid to those dispossess-
cd of their licenses. In regard to tbs
latter compensation was granted in the
form of an annuity equal to the aver
age yearly profits for three years pre-.
cedlng the suppression OF the license.
With these provisions the aims and
principles Of the Samlag are summa-
rized as follows: The elimination Of
private profit and securing the monop-
oily value for the public, insuring high
est quality of liquors sold, the reduc-
tlon Of the number Of licenses, the easy
enforcement Of the law, the destruction
Of the power Of the spirit trade and
the furtherance Of all progressive
measures of reform.--New York Her

were near the hotel we had better get
out and walk the rest Of the way.
Terence frightened up wonderfully
at that, and we stopped the carriage
and Jumped out. He paid the driver
and we turned to walk on. 1 think he
saw he hadn't much time to spare, so
he began at once:
Miss Cleveland, do"
And then we heard loud shouts be
hind us, and the driver came hurrying
after us to say we hadn't paid him
enough:
Terence said another sort of Greek
word to himself, and told the-man to
be of; but of course he wouldn't 60.
and marched along beside us, arguing.
l couldn't understand why Terence
would not give the man more money!
and send him off, but he has since
told me that he hadn't a penny left in
his pockets, he had given all to the
beggars.
Well! Of course 1t Is impossible to
propose to any one while Neapolitan
cab driver man is walking along be-
side you, arguing about his fare; and
the hotel was in sight!
Then three beggars and the old man
who sells oranges outside the door
came clamoring round us, and l was
hopeless, because, you know, besides
the title and estate, Terence lisa dear.
And then | saw Jack Congleton come
out OF the hotel and turn along to meet
us, and was so desperate that i cried
out aloud accidentally:
"Oh, dear! here is Jack, and now we
shan't be alone again"
When Terence heard that he lust
stopped dead and looked at me. and
then he looked at Jack coming toward
us, and round at all the clamoring beg
gars, and then he stuck both hands
sayagely in his pockets and turned his
back on the cab driver, and just burst
out desperately:
D 1t all! Miss Cleveland. will
you marry meY"
| laughed so much that couldn't
answer till Jack reached us, and he
must have thought me quite mad, be-
cause laughed all the way up to the
hotel door, and then l turned to Ter
ence and said:
oh! yes yes, yes!" and ran into
the hotel, and up to my room, and lay
on my bed and laughed till l felt quite
i'll, because l was so happy.
And ten minutes later they brought
me up lovely bouquet and the dearest
sort of apologzing note from Terence.
and so 1t was all settled.

Terence heayed great sigh Of re-

to put him of by any ill-advised re-

himself together, and took hold of my
hand Il had left 1t lying near him in

us!
