An Easy Mark for the Rube.

Iney were IN the smoker OF a
suburban train. The man with
the receding chin and red neck
tie was trying hard to scratch a
match on the sole Of his shoe. A
number of the passengers near
est him watched his fruitless eff
forts to ignite the match, every
one of them evincing the great
est interest in the proceeding.
When he of the receding chin
and red necktie had wasted per-
haps a dozen of the tapers bull
-necked person across the aisle
could endure the situation no
longer.
'Huh!' he grunted. Don
you know that you can't scratch
a match of that kind except on
the box
Whereupon the individual thus
rudely addressed shifted his
cigar from the one side of his
mouth and muttered in reply:
Don't butt in, friend. | al
ways strike 'em this way"
But not those kindp' yelled
the bull-necked one, about three
tones higher.
Don't get unduly perturbed,
Bill, :" retorted the individual
with the matches. AS I SAID be-
fore, invariably light my match
es in this manner, and | intend
to do so in the present instance,
even if | have to use every match
in the box, Ell, what?"
You're out of mind!' vocifer-
ated the other party to the dis
cussion, who by this time appear
ed to be on the verge of apoplexy
so distressed was he by the OBJ
stinancy of the match-lighting
person. How many times must
/ tell you that those matches can
be struck only on the box! You
might try till doomsday and you
couldn't strike 'em any other
way!,
"Oh, yes can, calmly as
ted he of the red tie.
No, you can't, = hoWled the
bull-necked man. 4 have a five
dollar bill that says you can 'tn
You're on, . said the person
with thn matches
Then, when the wager had
been duly posted, to the aston
ishment of all, the man with the
receding chin and the red necktie
neatly demolished the box which
had contained his matches, took
|one side of it, which he rubbed
several times against the sole of
Ibis shoe, and lit a match as easily
as you please! Which feat being
accomplished. he gathered in his

Iof a magazine.

with numbering Joe Sanders, in the

about eleven (11) years ago at the
August term of said court and by
agreement sentenced to imprison-

he has served as such convict for
III years years, and has been obedi-

good reason to believe his life was
in deadly peril. We think Wells has
been sufficiently punished under the

His Disposition Increasing

There was an extremely good
natured Yankee merchant near
Southampton, Mass, who has
70 years sustained the burden
of ''looking-out' for an invalid
cousin, man whose infrmaties
of temper have increased in di-
rect ratio to his bodily ailments
One day a neighbor had OVER
heard the Cousins entirely I'M
warranted recriminations as to
the manner in which he was be-
ing taken care of, recriminations
that had been met with perfect
equanimity by the long-suffering
merchant.
The neighbor was indignant.
Why on earth, Bill, = he asked,
do you allow that old codger to
| abuse you SO, you who are so good
| to him? He's getting worse and
worse. I"
We'll, !" said the good-natured
imam, II suppose Toms troubles
make him a trifle cross at times.
Though he added, apparently
| against his will, Il must say that
recently I've thought Tom was
increasing q little in his dispose
ton.

Great Labor Demand

Wanted, at once, 300 lumberman,
teamsters, etc, "is thestriking announce
ment on the board of G. l.. Perreault, of
Calumet, the well known employment
agent Of Pine street. Mr.. Perreault
states that there is big demand for
lumbermen inOntonagon county and that
he could place large number there if
available. Wages are not SO high this
year, employers paying from SIG to $50
and many men are leaving the copper
for points west.
There are only two active lumber
camps in Keweenaw county this year,
Dave Kingston of Eagle Harbor oper-
ating one and Frank Buschnell of Lake
Linden, the other. The latter's camp
is the bigger one of the two, employing
many men. In Ontonagon county is
where most of the numbering opera
tions are being conducted.
The c. & H. Mining company, it is
understood, will buy little timber the
coming winter. The company has hun.
dreds of thousands of feet of timber or
hand. 1t has total of about GA, ,00t
acres of timber land in its own right
besides thousands of acres acquired
through control of the several subsidiary
companies. This large tract Of land
will enable the company to secure all
the timber it will need for some years
to come.
Operations in the woods now are ir
full blast, according to Mr.. Perreault
Thousands of feet of logs have already
been cut, and these are being taken tt
the saw mills as rapidly as possible.
There is employment for many if they
care to go into the woods at the wages
offered.

Veteran Is Lucky

George Bowen, formerly an operator
in L'Anse, and for number of years in
the employ of the Western Union Tel
egraph company,is in luck. Mr.. Bowen
will probably be remembered by mem
bers of the Houghton military company
in 1893. He was resident of L'Anse
at the time, enlisted in the Houghton
company and accompanied them to Cuba,
remaining there until the end of the
war when he was houorably discharged.
He is now resident of Marquette. Mr..
Bowen has drawn number 1185 in the
Flathead reservation government land
lottery and as there are 5000 claims on
the reservation, he will have about two
thirds of the land to pick from.

TO Erect q Burner.

Joseph Kemp and George Mayo were
kept busy few days this week unload
ing q couple of cars Of CRATES, brick,
steel plates etc., which will be used
in the erection of new burner at Pc
quaming.
The progressive lumber company
Chas. Hebard & Son, Inc, of Pequam-
ing, are planning to erect q burner
for their mill-one on the style Of the
Nester burner, only smaller. Judging
from the plates, the burner. will be
about twenty feet in diameter and will
be used to destroy all the mill refuse.
Heretofore this refuse has been burned
in the open. The erection of this new
device will be great protection against
sparks flying from such large blaze.
