Improving Americans.

Nothing is fixed but the certainty
of change" said Goethe, and we know
that the future American will repre-
sent a change. He may be taller, or
shorter, or thinner, or fatter than the
American Of today, but there is moth
ing in the existing state of society
and we use society in its broad sense
to indicate that he will not be bet
ter in many ways. Confidence in this
is based largely on the evident de-
termination of the American of to-
day to leave our institutions and our
ideals better than he found them.
Every American-natlve or foreign
born-wants his children to have a
better education than it was possible
for him to secure. He wants to have
his children live in a community OF
higher standards and ideals than he
has; he wants betterment in local,
state and national conditions; and the
result of the want will be improve
ment end demand by his children
for still greater improvement.-St.
Paul pioneer Press.

Natural Incubator for the

"AA alligator's nest is an interesting
thing" said Alligator Joe. wild all

her den near by. She makes IL Dy

and sometimes It is 70 feet or more

steel rod and thrust 1t down the tun-

the gator feels the prodding she VIII

takes alligator eggs two months ana

A BOYS Ribs,

Of course, neither you nor any 9TH
er boy can tell how many ribs you
have got until you have asked a doc
tor, and you can't tell the cash value
of them until you have had a lawsuit
about it. Young Albert Scott, living
In Medina, O., was sitting on a fence
when the tire on a passing auto burst
and a piece hit him and knocked him
off the roost on to a wheelbarrow, and
he had three ribs broken. His father
sued for damages, and a jury said
that Albert's ribs were worth 5000
apiece.

Iroquois Regard for Language.


Language was looked upon as sa-
cred gift, and was as much part Of
the body as the head or limbs. For
this reason an Indian never spoke
the language of another nation except
in the capacity of interpreter. When
council was held between tribes, the
orator conducted the debates in their
own language, and the words were
translated, when necessary, as they
fell from the lips of the speaker, by
those who had been trained for that
Purpose. 1t was considered the great
est possible affront to their ancestors
and to the Great Spirit for the Iro-
cuc:s to speak any language other
than their own. Deaf mutes among
them were pointed out as people who
were not satisfied with the language
of their fathers and in consequence
had lost the power 10 speak o. hear.

STAGE DRINK is REMARKABLE
It Cannot Be Spilled, and lntoxieation
Ensues Immediately After 1t 10
Swallowed.

What we have always noticed about
the stage drink is its terrific potency.
That there are other points Of inter
est in this thing we do not deny, and
we are inclined to agree with the
writer in one of the weekly papers,
who says that "our actors, even the
best and most experienced Of them,
have not the faintest notion, how to
drink naturally and with the air of men
who are enjoying the process" And
we have frequently noticed the curl
Gus unspillable quality in the musical
comedy drink In this particular type
of potation, which is set to music, and
which we may call the gay drink, the
careless gestures of the f1agon holders
who do not actually drink until they
have waved the goblet upside down
have been known to make strong and
thirsty galleryites burst into tears,
commingled with reproaches. WhenN
Falsely Accused Frederick suffers
momentary attack Of depression, and
decides to set out for territories ex-
clusively canine, he pours into small
liquor glass a little very pale brandy.
and, with a desperate cry of frenzy
and despair, drinks it at one go. Some
times it is half glass of non-cor-
poreal claret. But the result is the
same. Falsely Accused Frederick in
stantly starts his Apache dance with
the grand pianoforte, and Friends
Who Believed in Him, entering at that
moment, say: Good heavens! he's
drunk" The drink is potent 1t can
not always be a case of weakness Of
head.-London Globe.

SALVAGE WRECK
OF THE WASACO
CHICAGO HOUSE WREckiNo CO.
PURCHASES CARGO FROM uN-
DERWRITERS - START
WORK IN SPRING.

A. Livingstone, representing the
Chicago House Wrecking company
which recently purchased from the UNI
derwriters. the steamer Wasago, whieh
was burned and sank near copper
Harbor early in November, and cargo,
left for Chicago today after making
arrangements to start work on the boat
i'm the spring Mr.. Livingstone rent
ed the diving and wrecking outht OF
the Portage Lake Hardware company
of Houghton and made arrangements
for the erection of a warehouse at
Copper Harbor where the cargo VIII
be stored after IL is raised.
IL will be remembered that the Wa
sage, a Canadian boat, bound for Fort
William put into Copper Harbor early
last month for shelter from storm,
and while riding at anchor caught fire
and burned to the waters edge, sink
ing i'm 80 feet of water The cargo
OF the boat consisted of the following:
200 tons of barbed wire 100 tons OF
railroad spikes. 100 tons of steel rails.
100 tons of pig iron, 500 tons of har-
vesting machinery and 500 tons of
sewer tile.
AS the boats cargo was taken on at
Canadian points, it is expected that U.
s. customs officials will be detailed TO
collect the usual customs as the cargo
is raised. 1t is thought that the engine
of the Wasago is still I'm good condi-
ton and ii may be possible that this
will be salvaged also when the work
is commenced in the spring.
While in the copper country, Mr..
Livingstone submitted a bid for the
machinery of the Mason Concentrating
company, which organization was per-
fected recently for the purpose of
treating copper sand and extracting
any of the red metal which had not
been secured in previous treatments.
II is estimated that the machinery of
the company cost about $4,000. The
bid of the Chicago House Wrecking
company has not been made public.

MINSTREL SHOW
GREAT SUCCESS
CALUMET ELkS MAKE BIG HIT AS
BIAcK-FAcED COMEDIANS
ANOTHER PERFORMANCE
TONIGHT.

can unqualified success" was the
general verdict of those who witness
ed the initial performance of the Calu-
met Elks minstrel show at the Calu-
met theater last evening. The enter
tainment was witnessed by a large and
appreciative audience and made a de-
cided hit, exceeding the expectations
OF most of those present. 1t is doubt
full If such a meritorious entertainment
has ever been produced in this city
with such short preparation.
Due credit must be given TO S. A.
Grubbs for the able manner in which
he has handled this enterprise. The
black faced comedians, all of whom
were of this city. deported themselves
in a highly amusing manner and kept
the audience in an uproar throughout.
The music was all that could be de-
sired and was sung in very satisfac-
tory manner, both by the principals
and the chorus. The end men had
plenty of new jokes and used consider
able local color in their work. The
entertainment was deliberately staged.
the electrical effects and the splendid
new costumes adding considerable to
the whole effect.
The speciality features introduced
made a good impression, particularly
the mystifying work of George Will
Jams magician, assisted by Chef Glas-
son, and the wonderful exhibition by
Sol Sands and Ben Ursin, also the
Koon band. Bob" MacVeigh and AL
Abbott as principal comedians left
nothing to be desired. The buck and
wing dancing was also feature which
was much appreciated.
Some of the song hits of the even
ing were. "All Aboard for Monkey
town" by c. Il. l.. Thomas; China
town Rag" by Chet Glasson: Good
bye Betty Brown" by Joseph Benefits;
phoebe Jane" by Ernest Wells:
Mind Yo' own Bizness" by John f.

What's the Matter With Father" by
Bob" MacVeigh and "If This Rose
Told You All 1t Knows" by Harry +.
King.
The performance will be repeated at
the Calumet theater this evening and
IL is expected the attendance will be
even larger than last evening. The
success of the first performance as
sures those who attend tonight of an
enjoyable evenings entertainment The
prices for the seats this evening are as
follows; Parquette and first two rows
of balcony. $1.OO; balance of balcony, 20
