FALSE
AND OTHERWISE

Not long ago one locomotive on
the Pennsylvania railroad hauIoI-I.
steel ears full of coal.
1t was the heaviest load ever
hauled by a locomotive
The train was a mile and a quar-
ter long, and each car contained 30
tons of coal-1O0, 900 pounds.
That is to say the locomotive
pulled a load of 12,OO0,0 900 pounds
And this, mind you. is net count
ing the weight of the heavy steel
cars The full weight of the cars
is estimated at 100000 pourdg
So that this machine, invented and
perfected by human minds, dragged
100000 pounds behind it,
Now, had such a feat been pre-
dicted in the time of Pericles. the
wise would have said not even can
one of the gods on Olympus do thai
In the day of Columbus such a
prophecy would have been "A ;Gke.
Even a hundred years ago?
Why, when the first locomotive
ran on its rails scientists said it
might be a SORT of toy but vas
impractical
They said no human could travel
at the terrific rate of twenty-five
miles an hour without disintegrating
and flying into bits,
Again they said if trains were run
at that speed it would be necessary
to build strong stone walls on both
sides of the track else people who
stood by the passing trains would
be killed by the rush of air.
Others said it may be possible to
transport light stuff by steam power
in this way, but heavy stuff would
need to be carried on the canals
or by horse teams.
They said it.
If some of those scientific wise
acres could have seen that mile and
quarter of coal cars or ride on
that sixty miles an hour train that
goes from Chicago TO New York in
eighteen hours.
They were false prophets.
Therefore let us not be too wise
in our day and generation. When
men speak of fighting future battles
in midair or CT talking to people
in Mars or of the things that sound
'fancifu to us let us not be alto
gether faithless,
And above all, let us be careful

CARPET SWEEPER TOO NOISY.
Dealer Left with Memory Of Good
Joke TO Compensate Him for
Loss OF Sale.

A hardware dealer in town tells q
story about a prim old lady who came
into his store the other day 10 pur'
chase a carpet sweeper. She gazed
here and there about the store as she
entered. and finally going up TO the
dealer she looked at him quizzically
over her glasses and asked: DO you
keep carpet sweepers?"
"Yes. madam" replied the dealer,
and naming the two kinds which he
had in stock. asked which she de-
sired.
Well" said the lady. you may
show me both kinds, II you will"
Just a moment. madam. until get
them from the rear Of the store" And
with that he went 10 an obscure cor
ner and took down the carpet-sweepers
from their hooks upon the wall.
II happened that in front OF one OF
the makes which he desired there was
a lawn mower so hung that he had TO
move II. He took II down from the
hook and as he did so il rolled along
the floor with a grinding rattle.
Before he had time to turn around
he heard the old lady shout from the
front of the store: THAT makes more
noise than my old one, and | don't
care to look at it" and so saying. she
whisked out to the door. leaving the
dealer TO wonder whether the joke was
worth the loss Of the sale.-Portland

SHOW
OPENS TUESDAY
EXHIBITS ARE BEST IN HISTORY
OF ASSocIATION-SHoW WILL
CONTINUE FOR THREE
DAYS.

The fifth annual show of the Cop
per Country Poultry association VIII
open tomorrow at the Amphidrome
and will continue until Thursday
evening. In point of prizes and entries
the exhibit will be the best in the
history Of the association. Secretary
Mcnamara states that the entries from
outside the county are very numerous
and that almost every county in the
upper peninsula is represented.
The association was organized for
the purpose of demonstrating to the
people of Northern Michigan that there
is both profit and pleasure To be de-
rived from intelligent and systematic
poultry breeding. At the time Of the
organization of the association there
was comparatively little interest and
practically no standard bred poultry in
this vicinity, but the entries for the
1911 show indicates that this is no
longer the case. Almost every breed
of fowl will be shown, including Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Javas,
Rhode Island Reds, Brahmas, Cochins,
Langshans, Leghorns,, Minorcas, the
Polish. French and other varieties OF
Orpingtons.
Orpingtons will be plentiful at the
coming show according to the infor-
nation now at hand. Among the var
ious club offers received by the associa-
tion from different poultry societies
throughout the country there is one
from the American Orpington Club,
which will donate fifteen or more
handsome special prize ribbons FOR
this class.
The judges at the Copper Country
show will include some of the larger
agriculturists of this section.

HOSPITAL Dance
CLEARS SI,626.84
MONEY TO BE EXPENDED FOR
EQUIPMENT-ST JOSEPH BEN
FIT DANCE TO BE ANNUAL
AFFAIR.

That the benefit dance for the st.
Joseph's hospital Of Hancock will be
an annual affair is assured by the re-
port of the general committee in
charge of the dance, which met Sat
urday afternoon at the residence of
Mrs. Joseph H.. Hodgson, general
chairman, and closed up the affairs of
the party, showing a most gratifying
result. Following is the financial
statement made by Mrs. Hodgson:
Total receipts -. ... .......$l,S42f2
Deduct donations for linens..$ 10S.00
Receipts Of dance -. .......Sl,7 734.42
Expenses of dance -. .....S 1898
Net receipts of dance 80. ..$1,626S4
The following equipment will be
purchased with the receipts in acord
ance with the original purpose of the
projectors of the enterprise.
Waite & Bartlett X-ray ma
chine... ... ... ... ......S125
Metal weather strip 80. -. -. E. $50
Sterilizer fir bedding and gar
ments... 80. ... ............ 800
II is probable that a few dollars
more will have to be collected to pay
the freight and express charges but
the dance as whole was most graf
flying success. The success of this
first venture has encouraged the pro-
moters to make the party an annual
affair, and the next thing to be worked
for will be the purchase of fire escapes
of which the hospital is sadly in need.
Besides the lump sum realized by
the dance there were a number Of con-
tributiors to the hospital such as bed
linen and articles OF personal use for
patients. a plea for such articles was
mace at the time the benefit dance
Yves being arranged, which resulted
i'm donations of linens, sheets. bedding
of all kinds, lounging and bath robes
for the patients The movement for
the Improvement of the equipment of
the hospital has done much good and
in tho future, patients will have the
benefit of better service.

evening. at the Glaciadom which will
have a bearing on the championship
honors.

Houshton Defeats Hancock.
The Houghton high school hockey
team defeated the Hancock scholars
by a score of . 10 0 Saturday after
noon at the Amphidrome. The scoring
was done by Croze, who shot the first
goal in the first half. and by Giesing
who came in with the second shot I'm /
the last half Although the play was
fast at some parts of the game, the /
lack Of combination work at all times /
spoiled the effect. Kotila of Hancock /
played a beautiful game at the net but /
his men were outplayed on all sides by /
the Houghton team. Toward the last /.
Houghton played q defensive game /
and both teams grew Hstless except /
for occasional flashes of speed on the |
part Of Hancock These rushes were /
stopped and the puck was kept in /
Hancock territory for the greater part /
of the half. The Houghton lineup was /
the same as in last Saturdays game /
with Calumet, except that Geising F.

" opened this morning with a long
calendar with prospects favoring one

tinuing all the issue of fact cases is
without precedent in the history OF the
circuit court of Houghton county. The
reason for this action was not divulg-
ed but the motion was approved by
Judge Streeter. As a result. it is ex-
pected that the next term of court will
be unusually long one.

only person to plead guilty. Judge

ninety days in the county Jail.
The case Of John Michaelson, charg-
ed with a violation Of village ordin-
ance, was added TO the criminal cal
cndar and will be tried at this term.
A number OF divorce cases were
added 10 the calendar today as well as
an issue of law case.

been tagging in the courts for some
time came up again today. when Judge
