IRON RIVER !

Quite number of typhoid fever
cases have developed at the Rogers
Ruger camp eight miles north OF
this city during the past month or
two. Andrew Lamppi, who died
ten days ago, was employed there.
Andrus Jensen, who is now at an
Ashland hospital, was employed
there as were also Jack Gallagher,
D. f. Thompson, Ed. Hall and Matt
Nicola, who are all now sick with it.
It is thought that the drinking OF
water taken from the Iron River is
the cause,
A. G. Johnson, the railroad con-
tractor, will leave this week for
Montana, where he has taken con
tract to do railroad construction
work for the 500 railway. He will
take several men along with him
from Iron River and vicinity and
more will follow next week. Mr..
Johnson has large outfit and has
been engaged in this line of work
for many years. His job is in the
vicinity of PIentywood.

BULLS IN PARLIAMENT.
The Welcome Sound That Cheered
Lord Balfour of Burleigh.

The Welcome Sound That Cheered
Lord Balfour of Burleigh.
1t would be hard to say which Of
England's two houses of legislature
takes the cake" for committing howl
ers, and still more difficult to pick out
the member who has taken pride of
place In this respect during recent
years. But perhaps for simple effec-
tiveness Lord Balfour of Burleigh
would be hard to beat when he said,
1.-THE noble lord shakes his head, and
am glad to hear it!'
Another noble lord during debate
on Indian affairs exclaimed: TALK of
this as loan to India! 1t is a flea
bite In the ocean, Nevertheless 1t
stands to reason that the lower house
Is more prolific in quantity, II not in
quality, In Its stock of howlers than
the upper, seeing that it has so many
more opportunities.
Captain Craig, the fiery fisherman,
cooked the following oratorical stew:
1.-THE naked sword Is drawn for the
fight, and never again will the black
smoke Of the Nationalists' tar barrels
drift on the home rule wind to darken
the hearts Of Englishmen." If any
thing could kill home rule one would
think that would.
Sir w. Hart Dyke was criticising the
standing order forbidding peers from
speaking during general elections.
Some one had quoted Lord Halsbury
as doing so, and Sir William solemnly
said, al must admit that the honor
able gentleman has gone to the top of
the tree and caught a very large fish"

YOUR USELESS CHIN.
What Mechanical or Physiological
Purpose Does II Serve?

What Mechanical or Physiological
Purpose Does II Serve?
"What is your chin for?" is the odd
query raised by Sir Ray Lancaster, the
scientist, who says he is unable to find
any mechanical or physiological pur-
pose which the chin serves.
1.-THE fact that modern races Of man.
kind have chins and most primitive
men whose remains have been found
did not have them naturally leads to
speculation as to why this Is So" he
said.
DR.. Forbes Ross agrees with Sir Ray
that the chin is useless In itself, but
gives the following explanation Of the
reason for it:
"All animals that browse have no
chin at all. Their teeth slant forward
to allow them to reach easily things
that would otherwise be beyond their
reach. The moment man gave up
browsing on green things and became
less and less an animal his teeth grew
erect, and his jaw had to accommodate
itself. Erect teeth prove man to be far
removed from ruminants, and therefore
q man with a well marked jaw is fur
Their removed from ruminants than a
man without That's why we are in
clined to regard a man without def
mite chin as possessing a mind rather
like a sheep. without determination,
without character."-New York Ameri-

Changing q Name.

How a patronymic may be trans
formed out of all recognition is shown
by an instance quoted by Cosmo Times
In his work on surnames:
James Halfpenny, Dublin citizen,
throve in trade, and his children in
duced him in his later years to change
the name, which they regarded as UNI
dignifled. This he did chiefly by drop
ping the last letters. He was buried as
James Halpen. The fortune OF the
family did not recede, and his son after
renouncing retail dealing looked about
for a euphonious name. He made no
scruple of dropping the unnecessary
''h," and, that being done, it was easy
to 20 in for the Celtic rage, which
Walter Scott had just raised to a great
height. Consequently he who had run
the streets as little Kenny Halfpenny
came out at the assemblies of the day
as Kenneth McAlpin."

SAVED A DOUGLAS.
Sir William Ramsay's Quick Wit at the
Battle of Poitiers.

Sir William Ramsay's Quick Wit at the
Battle of Poitiers.
In the battle of Poitiers 1856 num-
Der of Scottish soldiers fought on the
side of the French, and several of them
were taken prisoners by the English.
Among them was Sir Archibald Doug
las. Being dressed in suit of splendid
armor, the victors thought they had
captured-as indeed they had-some
great nobleman. Several of the Eng
lish were about to strip Off his armOr
when Sir William Ramsay of Colluth1e,
who was also prisoner, happening to
catch Sir Archibald's eye, gave him
meaning look.
Pretending to be very angry, he cried
out: "You rascal, how is it that you are
wearing your masters armor? Come
here and pull off my bootsv Douglas,
seemingly thoroughly cowed, went
humbly forward and drew off a boot,
with which Sir William began to beat
him. The English onlookers at once
interfered on Douglas behalf, saying
that he was person of great rank and
a lord.
"Whatr shouted Ramsay. He
lord? Why, he is base knave and,
suppose, has slain his master. Go, you
villain, and search the field for the
body Of my cousin, your master, and
when you have found it let me know,
that 1 may give it decent burial"
All this was acted so naturally that
the English allowed Ramsay to ransom
the pretended manservant for 40 shil-
lings. The money having been paid,
Sir William gave Douglas another
thrashing and then babe him begone.
Sir Archibald lost no time in effecting
his escape, which he owed solely to the
ingenuity of his friend.

QUEER SPORT IN CHINA.
Dropping a Pheasant With a Twenty
four Pound Gun

Dropping Pheasant With Twenty
four Pound Gun.
Foreign sportsmen in China always
observe with curious interest the ma
neuvers of native hunters.
An English sportsman tells of an
incident he witnessed at the well
known Shaba, or lower barrier, of
Nadoo creek, in north China. A native
shooter had his gingal with him-a
most uncanny looking weapon. That
there might be no question as to its
length, it was placed upright alongside
the Briton. 1t exceeded his height by
two feet two inches, making the piece
Of ordnance over eight feet in length.
Englishmen sometimes complain of the
weight of their own guns-six and a
half to seven and half pounds. So
it is astonishing to behold a Chinese
hunter carrying a twenty-four pound
gun all day long.
This particular native was accom-
panied by a small odd locking animal,
which the foreigner was assured was
dog. Observation of the hunter and
dog at work made deep impression
upon the stranger.
A hen pheasant happened to drop
into a furrowed field at feeding time.
The native took her bearings, crept up
as closely as he safely could, put down
his gun on a bit of higher ground, and
kept it trained on the bird. Meantime
the dog lay down across the barrel of
the gun, thus serving as a screen for
his master When the proper moment
had arrived, the man fired, the bird
was killed upon the ground, and the
dog remained on the barrel until his
master took up the gun to reload
