Another and more common phase OF
Here the ward politicians gathered,
not only to talk politics, but to roll
ten-pins, play pool and, at the card
tables, play for the drinks" The
amount of social intercourse thus had
in large city is enormous. After the
ordinary ward politician hSd eaten his
supper he would be ready to engage
in his political cruising, and he could
usually find a bunch of men at the
bowling alleys, or in the cardroom of
his neighboring saloon. | went
through great many political fights
and skirmishes, big and little, and ex-
cept just at election times / saw very
little drunkenness. But there was no
doubt that the workingmen and me-
chanics gathered at the saloons to
see each other. And there was no
doubt that they spent money there;
maybe more than they should have
done. But that was where they went
to find, companionship; to meet their
society" l have often gone to the
swell political clubs and there met the
professional men, lawyers, doctors
and professors, business men of large
interests in various channels, and
they sat at the tables and drank their
wine where the ward fellows drank
beer, and they played bridge" or
poker" where the ward men played
"cinch," and when you come to the
question of which is moral and which
is not, l leave it cheerfully to every
nan for himself to Judge
Every year, and always in the good
old summertime, the swell picnic was
held, generally away out in the coun-
try in some grove. And here political
society disported itself in its gayest
and gladdest rags" and gave itself
up to unalloyed festivities of all sorts
and kinds. There was the fat mans
race, the sack race, chasing the
creased pig $50 politically suggestive),
the tug-of-war between the firemen
and policemen's teams, the dances, the
speeches, the bowling alleys, the mig
ger baby and baseball stand, the UNI
brella and cane game, the lemonade
stands, the wandering Ministries, and
the shell game" You could spend
your money little at a time at the
diversified amusements, or you could
have one swift thrill and lose it all at
the Shells"

Last MoEday a diver arrived here

to clean ont the bottom of the river
about the 'eoffer dam that was built
by the Falkenau people last~summer.
A lot of dir had drifbsd under the
dam, also broken rock and other debris.
Some cement bags that had beer put in
the river were also removed.
A large number Of people visited the
plant during the day and the follow

they had ever, seen "A diver at work.
The diver finished his work on Tues
day and departed from here Tuesday
evening. 10 enc OF the hnainese men
who approached him and asked about

the Falke0au people and bor which he
was brought here to investigate. he
pronounced it Ito be "h--i af dam, :"

Hay Crop Disappointing

Crystal Falls farmers sre not at all
el ated over the prospects Of the hay
crop II is not as good in this section
as 10 ought TO be considering the
beautiful spring and summer that we
have had.
The crop is going to be light; almost
as light as last year when the hay crop
was the smallest in the history OF
farming in this locality.
Many reasons are cited for this con
dition bat the most Of the we'll posted
farmers ascribe IL to the open winto ?
and no snow. The snow kept away last
winter until the latter part Of January
and the hard frosts froze the ground

that IL Is but part OF the general pro-

Atthe North Armenia drifting is

mine has much to do with the condi-
tions at this exploration. AS a whole
the outlook is as good as ever for bic

Crystal Falls visitors TO Florence,
