An Automatic Mule.

At Enk City the Missouri Pacific
operates pumping station with a
blind mule. The mule is left alone
all day. and goes around and around
pumping water. When the tank is
full the water splashes out on q
sheet of zinc, and the noise is the
signal for the mule to stop. When
a train goes along the mule begins
&c pump again until the water splat-
tiers. The owner of the mule got
out last spring and worked against
and helped beat the waterworks
bonds at the election. because the
construction of waterworks sys-
tenn there threw the blind mule out

For two months we gave CAS-KA to

The action of CAS-KA stimulates
the digestive organs, clears out the
kidneys and liver, stimulates the mu-
cous membranes of the stomach and
canal expels sugar, uric
acid, albumen and other unhealthful
secretions and increases the proper
ton of alkali In the blood. CAS-KA
is recommended for all complaints of
the stomach and intestines, for dis
eases Of the kidneys, the bladder and
the spleen, for diseases Of the skin. and
especially for rheumatism. IL drives
the uric acid from the system, and
compels the liver, kidneys and the di-
gestive organs to attend to their busi-
ness promptly and thoroughly, making
the blood pure and any case OF catarrh

HOLD WRESTLING
MEET AT Y.M.C.A.
EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO PROMOTE CLEAN SPORT
TO TAKE UP CORNISH
WRESTLING.

At n meeting of the Y. NJ G. A.
Miller, John Koski and T.. +. Moore
were named as a committee on wrest-
ling. 1t was decided TO conduct a
tournament for novices at the associa-
ton building>on saturday. January Is,
open To any wrestler i'm Houghton or
Keweenaw counties who has never
participated i'm tournament or match
before. Ribbons will he hung up as
prizes and II is expected there will be
a large number of entries, as consid-
cradle interest is manifested in this
sport at the Y. M. G. A. Entries will
be received up TO and including Feb
ruary 16. Thursday.
Since wrestling was first taken up
as one of the athletic sports provided
for the members of the Y. NJ c. A.,
the interest has increased rapidly and
the membership is now much larger
than when the class was first organ
lied. II is the purpose of the Y. NJ.
C. A. officers to purify the game and
establish IL on firm basis. All of the
participants will be amateurs. Peter
Berg is the instructor of the wrestling
class and upon the expiration of the
present term, 1t is possible that ar
engagements will be made to start an
other series of lessons.
AS those who have taken up this
sport have shown rapid progress, il is
expected that the novice meet will
be very good one. 1t will probably
serve as preliminary to another
tournament which will be open to all
amateurs and will be held on or about
March 25. Entries for either tourna-
ments will be accepted from non-mem-
bers as well as members of the Y. M.
c. A.. The fact that the tournaments
will he conducted at the Y. NJ. e. A.
lends assurance that they will be on
their merits and that no objectional
features such as betting will be toll
Grated Seats will be arranged for
the spectators along the gymnasium
floor and "a small admission fee will
be charged
II is likely that classes i'm Cornish
wrestling will be started at the Y. M.
G. A. I'm the near future. DR.. John
Miller, one of the greatest Cornish
wrestlers in the history of the game
in northern Michigan has consented to
act as instructor for the Cornish
wrestling classes, and 1t is likely that

ested I'm the sport The Cornish
