the league season of the Copper Coun-
try amateur league. Mohawk has one
game TO its credit and as Houghton /
tied with Hancock in the initial game /

placing Gray, Brand and Treglone.
Little can be said of the goal position
as both men are capable of filling the
place while Brewer, last years favor

NO, thank. you. I'm filled to the

Such was the reply OF one Of tho
''newsies' in response To an invitation
20 partake OF something more az the
banquet rendered TO the hewsboys OF
Calumet on New Years night by Bert
Barnham. proprietor of the Calumet
Dye Works. And this boys condition
was representative Of all the other
''newsies." The boys had the feed of
their lives, and they were not slow in
saying so.
More than 100 boys sat around the
festive board. and they presented a
sight that will not soon be forgotten
by those who were privileged to wit
ness the banquet.
Unfortunately Mr. Barnham's shop
would not seat all of the boys at one
time, and they were fed in relays. Pre-
vious to the commencement OF festivi-
ties Rev ID. Stalker. pastor Of the
Presbyterian church, offered thanks.
Then the boys got busy. And what
clatter Of knives and forks and dishes
and blinking OF glasses filled with
sweet cider.
The 100 pounds Of turkey disappear |

They were behaved lot of lit
tie fellows. and only on leaving Mr..
Barnham's establishment did their
boyish enthusiasm let itself loose in
a "Rah-rah-rah." and three cheers for
the donor of the dinner.
Mr.. Barnham had plenty OF assist
ance in serving the boys. Mayor Schu-
maker and wife were there, as were
Chief and Mrs. j. Trudell. Mr.. and Mrs.
