HAD JUST CAUSE FOR PRIDE
Man Determines TO Take Vain Wife
Down a Peg and Is
Shut Up.

The man admired his wife Just
about as much as man can admire
a wife; nevertheless. when he saw
that she was devoting more and more
t''Nc '1ch day TO mirror gazing he de-
fer - ed 20 take her down a peg. Said
Lac brutally:
Il wouldn't be so stuck on myself II
were you, Just because people hap
pen to notice you when you go out.
II isn't you they are admiring, it's
your clothes. / heard a bunch OF
women say so Just the other day."
For an instant the shock to the
woman's vanity was overpowering;
then quickly recovering she said.
I'm that case am prouder than
ever. Nature is responsible for me,
but designed the clothes myself"
And then the man shut up.

veyor. This fact became known at the
regular meeting OF the board of super

portant one, Charles Smith acting as

and William Fisher. each for $4,000
were approved by the board, as was
the bond of Treasurer Edgar Rash
leigh.

the books of the supervisors, met with 1

system which was adopted in |
this county on the first of the year. it |
was decided that all county officers be |
required to fill out requisition blanks /
before supplies are purchased.
The committee which investigated |
he application of the Cleveland Cliffs
company for permission to erect a

DULUTH IS SHY
ON Team WORK
HOCKEY SEVEN OF THE ZENITH
CITY HAS GOOD MATERIAL
FOR FAST AGGRE-
CATION.

| Neither the Curling club officials, nor
Duluth hockey fans in general, are
disappointed at the showing made by
the hockey team against the Portage
Lake seven, says the Duluth News
Tribune. on the contrary, the games
improved the teams playing wonder
fully as was demonstrated on the Sec
ond night OF play.
Manager Furni said yesterday: ~
can hardly say that I'm disappointed
at the showing of the team. nor do /
5elieve that the Curling club MEM
bers feel that way. There Is no doubt
but that we have the best of hockey
material i'm our team. II was the well
organized and effective team work Of
the visitors that beat us. This the
local team lacked to certain degree.
Houghton was our hardest foeman of
the year and they have put the team
on its mettle so that we should make
most creditable showing i'm the
games remaining to be played"
In talking Of the local team the
Houghton manager said after the
game: Duluth players lacked team
work The bunch l have here has
been together for two years and is the
best team that Houghton ever had.
Your local players are good men. and
with the team work that viii result
from playing together time after time
they should uphold the name of Du-
1nfh hnr1yn,, In no % ctx 81 Vnt
have stars where Houghton has not,
but the Portage Lake team plays to-
gether."

naturally interested TO a large extent
IN the commercial fisheries OF Michi-
gan.
one bill which Senator Cartier pro-
poses 20 put through will be provid-
ing for a joint legislative committee
81 all the states bordering the lakes
land particularly those lakes which
wash the shores OF Michigan, who shall
formulate uniform laws governing
commercial fisheries.
Al present IL is next 10 impossible
10 enforce the commercial fishing laws
OF Michigan. or indeed OF the other
states. The closed seasons are differ
ent in different states for one thing.
A man may have his nets in Michigan
waters during a closed season on this
side OF the lake. II the warden goes
after him he moves over a few inches
and declares he is in Wisconsin wa
tiers. and it is pretty hard TO tell
whether he Is or not. II he is mani
testify in Michigan waters and sees the
warden after him he steams away TO
Wisconsin waters and escapes.
Uniform Laws the objective.
Again, the size of the mesh and the
size OF the fish that may be taken
are different in the different states and
IAN sorts of confusion and all sorts of
difficulties arrive in enforcing the
laws.
Senator Cartier proposes that the
states get together and formulate
uniform laws so that all the states
may combine without conflict in their
enforcement.
Another bill Senator Cartier has in
mind is one which will make uniform
i'm all the states bordering the lakes
the tax on vessel tonnage. At present
most Of the vessels doing business for |
Michigan concerns are registered in |
Wisconsin where the tax is lower. Mr. /
Carriers own vessels are so registered /
because II represents a big saving to |
his firm He would like TO have the
tax uniform all around the lakes so
each state would get it's share OF the
registering and of the tax.

are a disgrace and so admitted by all

Senator Carriers motion is that a

Well Worth the Effort.

The rind is bitter, but the core is
sweet. The memorizing of Latin
grammar and the thumbing of a Latin
dictionary are the rind. The riches of
great literature are the core. The
irksome tasks of the school boy and
the collegian are the small price he
pays for something that can be the
recreation Of his mature years, the
constant companion and solace of old
age. says writer in the Chicago
Tribune. But the price does not seem
small while it is being paid. The stu
dent who knows only English, an al
most grammarless tongue which has
freed itself from the trammeis of con-
jugations, declensions and genders, is

plexities of highly infected Ian.

to be converted into disgust. But

boriously learned slip away from him
when he becomes his own master.

LIFE SAVERS ARE HOPEFUL.
Bill Now Before Congress, If Passed,
Would Benefit Them.

Better conditions of employment for
the members of the United States life
saving service are probable as the re-
suit of legislation now pending in con-
gross. which appears to be meeting
with general approval The efforts of
the surfmen i'm saving property i'm
periled by storms and i'm giving aid to
ships in distress are matters of gem
eral knowledge in this city. and it is
also generally recognized that $74 per
month during the period of their en-
ployment (about eight months in the
Year, is at best niggardly remunera-
ton for their services.
The bill now before the house has
been passed by the senate. 1t contains
two distinct propositions: First, to
create retired list for superintend-
ents of life saving crews, keepers Of
stations and members of crews. consti-
tuting the field force of the service.
and. second, to provide a graduated
scale of increase in pay for the same
Officers and men, based on length OF
service. Members of the life saving
crews have been advocating paying the
life savers twelve months i'm the year.
instead of just during the months they
are employed, and are somewhat dis
appointed that this feature is not in
cluded in the proposed bill However.
the proposed measure, if passed will
in some measure at least improve the
conditions that now exist.
