ecutive orders are in the departments
today. | am informed, in which Mr.. Lin
coin directed that where there was a
claim for property used by the govern
ment, such as the occupation of buildings
and lands, that there should be no ulles-
ton raised as to the loyalty of the man
who was turned out when 1t was neces-
sary for the army to take possession of
his property.
Now, so far as l am concerned, | have
always said and l say now that the Con-
gress of the United States is not the
tribunal in which these claims should be
tried. think that the government would
have saved money and | think justice
would have been done to many honest
claimants If years ago a general statute
had been passed fixing the status of these
claims and allowing the court of claims
or some other tribunal absolute power
to try cases and dispose of them finally
and take them out of the Congress en-
tirely.
Il think that it would be wise today If
this class of claims were finally referred
to the court of claims and full power
given to the court to consider and act on
them finally and render judgment like
they do in other cases."
Mr.. Underwoods speech was received
with applause and the bill was passed.
although it was vigorously assailed by
Representative Mann and others. Repre-
sentative Hobson was not present.

ACCORDED A HIGH POSITION

Husbands and Brothers.

There is no country in the world
where women occupy a moro dignified
position in the home than Sorvia The
Servian idea is quite different from
that of the Turk. who keeps his wom-
en- behind shut doors or the German,
whose ideal woman is a hausfrau. In
Servia the uni is the companion Of
the man.
A man is responsible for his I'M
married sisters, and throughout the
Balkan states it is considered rather
a breach of etiquette for him to mar
ry before his older sister.
No Servian girl would feel she could
hold up her head in society unless
she could speak four languages. There
is hardly a Servian who can
not play some musical instrument.
Embroidery, painting, drawing, and
sculpture are all studied. Politics is
a popular feature among m
Servian women are very domesticat-
ed and the highest ladies pay personal
attention to trivial matters Of house
keeping.
There are two ome doctors prac-
ticing in Belgrade. and several wom-
en- teachers. But public opinion, on
the whole. is rather against women
entering the labor arena.

TO INDUCE PROPER SLUMBER
Careful Preparation for Rerose. and
a Quiet Mind, Are the Main
Qualifications.

A man should make his toilet as
carefully for going to bed as for the
business Of the day.
Certain physical things are con-
ducive to sleep, such as plenty Of
sweet. outdoor air, the absence of
noises. of lights and of bad odors,
and above all a feeling of tiredness.
There are also certain mental and
spiritual preparations.
To be intensely Interested in any
thing Is fatal to sleep; so also are
the memory of a ranking failure.
plan-making. problem-solving, appre-
rension. shame and remorse.
The soul must take of its inter-
estedness as the body must remove
its vestments.
Passions of any kind, craving and
all heats are against sleep.
One is very fortunate who has a
habit of prayer, for there is nothing
can still the soul like purging the
conscience before God; and cares
pricking annoyances, breads and all
mental tensions can be remedied in
no way more satisfactorily than by
letting the consciousness of God ASH
the soul.
A sense of friendliness and peace to-
ware the Infinite is the surest medi-
cine for sleep.

LINE OF NORTHERN BOUNDARY
Curious History of United States Ter
ritory That "Overiaps" Into the
Dominion Of Canada.

How did the United States come to
get that small corner of land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary of Minnesota? History of
that little nose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point of
the United States Is very interesting.
Under the treaty of 1888 boundary be-
tween the United States and British
possessions was fixed. A certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mu-
tually agreed to as one starting point.
this being considered the headwaters
of the st. Lawrence river and Great
Lakes system. At that time 1t was not
known whether this point was north
or south of the forty-ninth parallel.
but it was known to be close to it. The
understanding was that from that
point the BOUNDARY should go north or
south to the f%orty-ninth parallel, as the
case might be. Later and more accu-
rate surveys showed that point was
about % miles north of the forty-ninth
parallel, and so at this place the
boundary makes a jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has a little piece of
territory of about 100 square miles in
extent north of the general boundary.
And the joke Of it Is that any one has
TO go by water in order to reach this
little piece of territory unless he
wants to go through Canada-The

LEAVE OUT THE SUPERFLUOUS
Some Truth in Assertion That Pres
emit Generation Considers roc
Many Wants as Needs"

A woman who has been observing
people and things has come to the
conclusion that the expense of living
today is largely due TO individual in
diligence. People want so much
more than they formerly did. or at
any rate. if they wanted it before,
they often did without it. for expe-
diency's sake; but now she says, to
want and to have go hand in hand
without regard for expediency. This
woman says: My idea of the wide
spread complaint of the high cost of
living is hat people are not temper
ate in supplying their three principal
wants, namely: food. clothing and
shelter. Some people cut down on
food and shelter and spend an over
abundance on clothing. Others in
dulge themselves in rich foods that
are absolutely unnecessary. Still
others like TO live in fashionable
quarters and neglect their food and
shelter. A person to be happy must
preserve a balance in all things. One
must be temperate with regard to
food, clothing and shelter. Live in a
respectable but not ultra-fashionable
ne~ighborhood; wear standard clothes,
0 the latest Paris fashions; eat
good, substantial food, not rich. tasty
d~elicacies that cater only to the pal
ate. is my parting advice"

1t is well known that Lyman II.

the Calumet theater Feb. 80. can take
objects in life which seem very COM
mon and familiar and reveal them in
new light that gives them a signifi-
canoe the spectator never realized Ey-
cry phase of nature, science or life
seems TO offer unlimited scope to his
cameras. BY means of these repro
ductions facts of deep vital interest
are conveyed to the mind which could
not be equally impressed by any other
method They impart an entirely new
conception of life here, there and ev-
erywhere, and these impressions en-
dure far beyond the temporary occa-
sion of their presentation. They are
indelible. Just as a Shakespearean
production imparts entirely new CON
ceptions which the printed text cannot
convey, so too, does Mr. Howes Tray
81 Festival radiate new light on the
moving pageantry of human life and
activities all over the earth In this
sense Lyman III. Howe may be con-
sistently termed the Shakespeare of
animated photography.
What makes Mr. Howe's present
program more notable than any he
has hitherto exhibited, is the marve-
lous reproduction of natures own
tints and tones.-Advertisem

FIRE TEAMS MAY RACE.
Contest in Connection with Upper

1t has been suggested that one az
the features To be arranged for the
upper peninsula firemen's tournament
In Red jacket this summer should be
race between the fire teams of the
different departments i'm the copper
country. This has frequently been
suggested as a tournament feature
nut always some obstacle has appear
ed. few weeks ago the Hancock
and Houghton firemen discussed the
possibility OF g'lch race and il is be-
lieved they could be prevailed upon
10 bring their fire teams to Calumet
Red Jacket and Laurium also have
crack fire teams and a four-cornered
race between these departments un-
doubtedly would prove very exciting.
The fire tournament executive com
mittee met last evening and heard
reports of the different sub commit
tees besides discussing other features.
Last years Fourth of July committee
held meeting in connection with this
gathering and voted 10 turn over the
fund of about $50 remaining i'm the
treasury for tournament purposes

ported that this project is already
meeting with much success. Commun-
ications We're received from T. w.

atrical company, relative to shows for
the tournament, but they We're tabled
until later date. The executive com
mittee adjourned until Feb %.
