GOOD ROADS.

Judge Seaton of 0lathe, who Is
good roads enthusiast, broke into
verse last week and sang: When
Caesar took and eastward ride and
grabbed the Gauls from Rome, what
was the first thing that he did to
make them feel a home? Did he in
crease the peoples loads and liberty
forbid? No, he dug in and built Good
Roads-that's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the heel upon the foe
mans breast, or did he try to make
them feel the Roman rule was best?
What did he do to make them glad
he'd come their midst amid? He
built Good Roads In place Of bad
that s what old Caesar did. He built
Good Roads from hill to hill, Good
Roads from vale to vale; he ran a
Good Roads movement till old Rome
got all the kale. He told the folk to
buy at home; built roads their hills
amid, TIL all the roads led up to
Rome-that's 3 what old Caesar did. II
any town would make the town the
center Of the map, where folks will
come and settle down and Live IN
plenty's lap, II any town It's own
abodes Of poverty would rid, let It go
out and build Good Roads-iust lkie

From early boyhood to these whiten-
ing years, l have tried to play my part
in the great drama Of our national life.
1t is with heartfelt gratitude for all
the favors Of the past, and with deep
regret, that l here announce the newt
able close of my public career, and that
this farewell visit will positively be my
last appearance in person, in the towns
and cities of the present tour.
But, like Tennyson's brook, though
"Men may come and men may 90, the
brook goes on forever" so, in these
meetings and partings, l feel that the
abiding purpose Of my life will 90 on,
and that the traditions and history
embodied in the "Wild West" expo
sition may be perpetuated for enter
tainment and instruction through nv
younger coadiutor, "Pawnee Bill"
Let me say once more, on the honor
OF Buffalo Bill" that this announce
ment is fnal-that my present visit will
positively be my last "hail and fare
well" in the saddle, to you all.
With my best gratitude, and wishing
you all the same full measure of goodwill
that you, my friends, and the world,
have bestowed upon me.
am, as always,
Sincerely yours,

Scout Masters Tell How Scout Work
Help, Boys.

Scout Masters. who are registered
for the Boy Scouts of America, write
many letters to headquarters telling
of the development of boys through
the scout activities. They report
that rough boys have been made
gentle, that mischievous boys have
been taught consideration for others;
weak boys, encouraged to take part
in athletic exercises, have grown
strong, and that boys generally have
become more thoughtful at home,
and more patriotic.
Because of the good influence of
the Boy Scout movement, business
men are taking a still greater inter
est in it. School teachers, profes-
sional men and others are contribut-
ing to the work and are urging the
upbuilding of the Scout troops in
their respective towns.
THE work among the Oakland Boy
Scouts o. A. Bremen writes. SIS
very encouraging. The boys come
from the very toughest part of the
city-the shop district-and some of
them seemed almost hopeless. Their
teachers at school were continually
complaining of their rowdyisms, and
they used the Oakland Sunday School
more as though it we're a gymnasium
than a place of worship. | have been
working with them now almost a
year and since | have instituted the
Scout movement, things have under
gone a remarkable change; the boys
are really interested, and are doing
their best to live up to the Scout
Law. They have organized a Scout
base ball team and it is the best boys
team in the City. The team works
together and there is absolutely no
wrangilng among the players

This statement is interesting, but
It can never be truly effective until
we learn how many men get 50 per

The most reliable average wage
data are furnished by Massachusetts,

vania. A study Of these shows that
the average wages of all employees
range, In the leading industries, from
$3.50 TO $500 per year-seldom rising
above the latter figure except in In
dustries like petroleum and malt

Is required and in which males only

What II Costs Workinsmen to Live.

In "The Pilgrims Scrip Of The
America Magazine for September
there is an interesting investigation
Of the cost Of living among working
men. In part, 1t says:
"After a searching analysis Of the
family budgets Of three hundred and
sixteen workingmen's families living
in New York, DR.. Chapin says: An in
come under $500 is not enough to
permit the maintenance of a normal
standard. Whether an income be-
tween $500 and 5000 can be made to
suffice is a question to which our
data do not warrant a dogmatic an
Swer. An income of 5000 or over
probably permits the maintenance of
normal standard, at least so far
as the physical man is concerned
Studies in Homestead, Buffalo and
Baltimore confirm for these cities the
conclusions for New York City. A
family can, therefore, maintain eff
cheney on about SO a day in the lead
ing eastern cities.

TOO MUCH SYSTEM.
Ruth Cameron.

We were all pleased the other NOR
ing TO see a touring car stopping in
front Of the house next door.
1T is Mrs. IS cousin, We announced
to each other with neighborly inter
est. HE has come to. take her au
toing. Isn't that splednid? It is
such beautiful day, and she has hat
no vacation and needs some recrea'
ItiOn so much. 1t will do her worlds
Of good.'
A few minutes later we observed
with neighborly concern that the car
departed without Mrs. L.
In the forenoon, Mrs. L., in the
course tf a run-in, communicated the
fact to us that it had been her cou-
sin, and that he had come to take he
on an all day drive.
"And why did YOU not go?' We in
quired.
well, l did want to- sighed Mrs.
L., but you know l had planned to
put up my grape jelly today, so
really counldn't.
Couldn't the jelly have waited till
tomorrow we ventured to ask.
"0h, yes; suppose So said Mrs.
L., but I'd planned it for today, so |
didn I like to put it off.
And yet such opportunities come to
Mrs. l.. not more than once or twice
a year.
What a terrible thing slavery is.
Whether the master be another hui
man being or ones possessions or
ones fears or as in this case
ones plans.
HE who every morning plans the
transactions of the day and follows
out that plan carries a thread that
will guide him through the labyrinth
of a most busy life, says Victor Hugo
l most thoroughly agree as to the
advisability of such a course, so long
and only 50 long, as he allows the
thread to guide him and not to drag
him; so long and only so long, as he
knows when he will gain most by moi
following out that plan.
A we'll known English eSsayist who
believes that the greatest good can b
gotten out of life by having some def
mite program for the day, neverth
less has the sense to point out that
to treat our programs with exactly th'
right amount of Difference, to live
with not too little elasticity, is
scarcely the simple matter 1t may
appear to the inexperienced.
He evidnetly had met people like
Mrs. L., for he goes on to say, 81
know men whose lives are a burden
to their relatives and friends because
they would worship a daily program
as a fetch. oh, no, | have heard
the martyred wife exclaim, Arthur al
ways takes the dog out at eight o.
clock, and begins to read at quar-
ter to nine. So it's quite out Of the
question that we should, etc. etc And
the note of absolute finality in the
plaintive voice reveals the unSuspect
ed tragedy of career
The folly of going to such an ex
treme is surely as great as the folly
of the man who will never make an!
definite and systematic plans.
The wise men and women are thos
who have definite programs for thei
time, but who always remembers tina
the program exists for them, no
they for the program.

Gated three miles south of the village.

revolver. Carlson came near death

on, bullet grazing his forehead and
making flesh wound.
Martin and his wife have had consid-
cradle trouble, and could not agree.
Martin drinks more than is good for
him and for this reason his wife left
him. She went to Keweenaw Bay q
week ago and has been engaged as
cook for crew of men who have been
clearing the land for Sheriff Byers of
Houghton.

To Play Here
May 9th.
"O'Brien, the Contractor" Given by
Copper Country Talent.

The Twin City Clerks Union, of the
copper country, has agreed to give the
people of this vicinity chance to see
the Irish comedy-drama, "O'Brien, the
Contractor"
The play comes highly recommended
and is given in good cause, for the
benefit of St. Joseph's hospital and the
Good Will Farm. This play has been
given at the Kerredge theatre. Han
cock, which was commented upon by
the Gazette, as follows:
"O'Brien, the Contractor" come
dy drama produced March II by the
dramatic club of the Hancock Hibern-
ians, will be seen again on the Ker-
redse stage the night of May 26. The
players have been induced to put the
play in rehearsal again by the Twin
City Clerks Union, which organization
will divide the receipts between Good
Will Farm and st. Joseph's hospital.
Those who did not see the original
performance of this piece should well
come this later opportunity because it
is well acted presentation. The rea-
sons for presenting the play again
should be sufficient to attract large
attendance and those who do invest in
tickets because of desire to contrib
ute to two worthy enterprises will be
repaid by the pleasure they will take
in the performance.
A trite method Of describing an ex-
,cellent amateur dramatic production is
to say ''You would take them for pro-
fessionals, This is always an error.
There never yet was an amateur per-
formance which could not be detected
because it will always lack the finish
which stage experience gives. The
test of an amateur performance is the
nearness Of approach to that finish. In
"O'Brien, the Contractor" which is
an unhappily chosen title because it
leads to the belief that the play is a
broad and crude farce, there is an ap-
proach to professional finish unusual in
amateur performances.
Written from memory Of the first
performance. this may not recall all Of
the persons of the play but it is easy
to recall William O'Connor and Mrs.
McGrath and Emmett Dwyer. Mr..
O'Connor plays the title role and makes
him a fine type of an Americanized
Irishman. Mrs. McGrath plays the fe-
male lead and Mr.. Dwyer villainous
lawyer, very well executed character
study. The members of this company
have struck out boldly to explore an
art that is strange to them and they
should be encouraged because from
time to time in the future they will re-
veal to this public new beauties and
delights a. they find them in their trav-
els. Il. p. c." :.
Excursions for the evening will un-
doubtedly be arranged from Baraga
and Pequaming. Be among those who
