proach of the axis OF the earth

North Is between 1e.s and 1871

degree of accuracy in extremely

the admiration Of ali students of
the magnificent laws OF Nature.
The motion is that of the en-
tire globe-the earth-which
makes its axis appear to sweep
around In colossal circle ~ de-

star day. the North Star appears
TO traverse an exact circle OF
twice this in diameter, or . de-
grees II minutes 42.6 seconds.
Therefore the star must actually
pass once above and once below
the axis in the true star day But

there than now. But the plea for
women in the home and there

modern conditions, be realized.
The achievement of political

enhance rather than weaken the

learn by large contact with the
world to place their primary work

substantial and satisfying basis.
Nevertheless, the Industrial ac-
tivity of women is just as neces-
sary under present development
as 1t has been since time began.
A very large number of women
must help produce the necessities
of life. Therefore, we should make
every effort to afford them the
protection and justice to which
they are entitled.
We should also furnish whole
some amusement for children,
especially for those who have no
comfortable homes. The supervi-
sion of this work justifies the uni
versal appointment of police
women, even If there were not a

while 7 was in charge of this
work, 7 learned that there are
other crimes than those on tho
statute books. These are the
crimes of the broken heart.
I never knew how great was
the number OF broken hearted
parents, deserted wives and chill
dren and anxious relatives, eager
to get some word from a lost son,
brother or sister who had gone
from home In search of health or
fortune. and from whom, for
some unknown reason, the
looked Tor messages had ceased
to come.
Women are especially fitted for
this particular work, for a wom-
an inherently synpathizes with
the sorrow of the woman at the
other end of the line and she
spares no effort to locate the
missing son or daughter and tie
the broken thread.
Another class of women little
thought about by the public find
in the policewoman a valued
friend and a source of strength
these are the abused wives who
belong to harsh or Incorporate

civil work, yet these women are

I'VE been up to the Copper
l Country, where labor has
Just finished long struggle
with capital in the richest copper
mine of its size in the world.
Any person who can draw a
map Of Michigan deserves a Car
negie medal.
Lots of good folks think Of the
Copper Country as wild and wool
ly. The first note Of disillusion-
ment to the traveller comes when
he boards the Copper Country
LIMITED" paiatial train that
leaves Chicago every evening IN
the year, and heads straight
north for Copper Haroor, 500
miles away.
Here lies little empire ali by
itself.
The ignorance concerning the
Copper Country is dense and
widely diffused. In the first place.
the district is Off the beaten ffne
of travel. Here is where the rail-
road ends. It goes as far as 1t
can and stops.
We have heard this country
spoken of as "a mining camp"
The term was first applied in
1771, when q. company of Cornish
miners began work here, and the
place has occasionally been called
camp" ever since. Descend
ants Of miners who lived hero in
the classic year 177s are to be
found here now.
All Cornishmen are Cousin
Jack" One of these cousins"
came to my hotel, and insisted
that I should come to his house
and have supper with his family.
Why? On, I'll tell you. because
my daughter Is a student at the
University OF Michigan, and he,
too, has a daughter at Ann Arbor.
This family lived IN one of
those log houses that you have
recently heard So much about. 1t
comfortable and sanitary. There
was a cellar in which were 500
bushels of potatoes, raised on a
two-acre garden plot back Of the
house.
Here I met three generations Of
men who all work for one mine.
Their wages averaged a little over
"a day each for an eight-hour
shift This gave plenty Of time
to cultivate the garden, to fish, to
get in wood for winter.
Modern mining began in the
upper country IN 1s4s. Then the
Quincy was opened, mine
that has never missed a dividend
in So years.
The famous Calumet Hecia has
100000 shares at par value OF
$25. Only $3.50 per share has

Calumet Hecia Is worth too day

who owned ten shares that his IA
Their had bought at par. The CAL
umet-Hecla has not skipped a
dividend since 1851. 1t has paid
out in dividends 100000 900, and
in wages it has paid over $780,
000,0 900.
This is the mine that has filed
the heads of SPECTATORS with
verdigris. When the promoters
give you mining figures, they flash
UP Calumet Hecla.

James MscNaughton, the pres.

miner and was brought up in m.
business. MacNaughton worked
his way through oberlin and Ann

Dig, generous, intelligent, able. At
college he played successful foot
ball, and in life's scrimmase be

The president of the Calumet

Boston, a Harvard man and quite
the same type as MacNaughton
In fact, these men look and act
very much alike. One was born a
Boston blueblood. and the other.
the son of a Scotch Canadian la
borer.
The strike Is now ancient his
tory. I met Ricard, the leader Of
the local union, and he attributes
the blame to the Reds By this
he means the revolutionary So
cialists. And the Reds" are not
seeking to better the immediate
condition of the laborer, save by
overthrowing the present form
Of Government. The extreme
measures these 'Reds'' resorted
to caused a revulsion of public
opinion that made recognition OF
the Western Federation an i'm
possibility.
The whole Copper Country Is
cemented now into q bond that
has never existed before. Hate,
jealousy, fear, these things have
given way to respect, sympathy
and a desire to get together.
Wages have been increased, the
eight-hour system has been
adopted, petty bosses have had
their ego sand -papered, bonus
systems have been adopted so
that when man does an extra
amount of work he gets more
pay. Pension plans have been
put into operation.
! The Calumet Hecla has
grievance bureau that considers
and adjusts all causes for com
plaint, and everywhere employers
and employees are joining HANDS
I once heard John Mitchell say
There never was a strike that
failed
By this he meant that even m
defeat there is the germ OF sue

will bloom and blossom
The Law of Compensation new

This strike has taught 0otA
sides a few much-needed but
costly lessons.
