FIND MEN ARE SCARCE.
Agents Of Outside Firms Seeking La
borers Not Very Successful.

Two agents of outside companies
which are badly i'm need of laborers
recently visited Hancock i'm search OF
men. But men are scarce and the
agents failed to get many to leave this
section.
Leonard Nicola, the Hancock en-
ployment agent recently received an
order for 1000 men and ne advised the
company seeking this help that the
order could not be filled here as the
copper country industries were seek
ing labor and il was impossible to sup
ply home demands.
The copper country has long been
recognized as a field to which immi-
grants flock and it was the belief OF
the foreign corporations that this dis
trict is able to supply their wants Il
is understood that a suspicion is held
that local employment agencies are
not trying TO fill outside orders but
content themselves with keeping help
at home in preference to sending it
out.
But even the nattering wages which
are offered and free transportation 10

LITTLE NELL WAS ORIGINAL
DeQulncey's sour Lady Of Tears" Did
Not Suggest the Character to
Dickens.

1T is remarked of Charles Dickens
that no modern writer was less open
to the charge of having received sug-
gestions from the characters and plots
of his novels from others than was
he, and this for the reason that his
plots and characters were chosen, not
from books. but from people and in
cidents in the living world about him.
Some time ago, however, an English
author thought that he had found in
DeQuinceys essay. Our Lady of
Tears" the suggestion for the beauti-
ful pathos of Little Nell, in THE Old
Curiosity Shop" A little investiga-
tion, however, showed that De-
Quincey's essay was published in 1S45.
while "The Old Curiosity Shop was
published five years before. The ex-
tract here given from ,DeQuincey's es-
say is interesting

SIR he continues. Il can't see much

putting wheat out of sight, and you
can't sell drop of flour anywhere in
the world based. on these prices. The
wheat's mostly moved out, anyway and

Of demand for labor growing out of
