I've been up to the Copper
Country, where labor has
just finished long struggle
with capital in the richest copper
mine of it's size in the world.
Any person who can draw a
map of Michigan deserves Car
negie medal.
Lots Of good folks think Of the
Copper Country as wild and wool
~ The first note Of disiliuson.

he boards the Copper Country
Limited a palatial train that
leaves Chicago every evening in
the year, and heads straight
north for Copper Harbor, 500
miles away.
Here lies little empire all by
itself
The ignorance concerning the
Copper Country is dense and
widely diffused. In the first place,
the district is off the beaten line
of travel. Here is where the rail-
road ends. 1t 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
1711, when a company of Cornish
miners began work here, and the
place has occasionally been called
camp" ever since. Descend
ants OF miners who lived here in
the classic year 1876 are to be
found here now.
All Cornishmen are "Co1sin

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 student at the
University Of Michigan, and he,
too, has a daughter at Ann Arbor.
This family lived in one of

was very good houss--warY1s,
comfortable and sanitary There
was cellar in which were 500
bushels of potatoes, raised on a
two-acre ga rden plot hack OF the
house.
Here I met three generations Of
men who all work for one mine.
Their wages averaged a little over
81 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 1886 Then the
Quincy" was opened, a mine
that has never missed a dividend
in SIS years.
The famous Calumet Hecia has
100000 shares at a par value of
s25. Only $3.50 per share has
ever been paid in.
Calumet lIecia is worth to- day
s425 q share. and it has been as
high as $1,000 l met one miner
who owned ten shares that his ia
Their had bought at par. The Cal
umet Hecis has not skipped a
dividend since 1852 1t has paid
out in dividends s1O0,OO0,00O. and
in wages it has paid over $780,
100000.
This is the mine that has filed
the heads of spectators with
verdigris. When the promoters
give you mining figures, they fash
up Calumet Hecls.

The fact is, there are a SEN
arate mining companies here and
only six are paying properties.
The Isle Royal mine has paid
just one dividend in 50 wears
That was Immediately before the
strike, and that lonely dividend is
likely to be historic.
The success of the Calumet
Hecla has not turned alone on its
rich loaes-it has been wisely
managed. Alexander Agassiz
son of the world famous Swiss
scientist. put the mine on nav
ing basis. He put Scotchmen in
command, and these men made
money when less able men Womb
have lost it.
James MacNaughton, the pres
ent manager, is the son of a
miner and was brought up in the
business. MacNaughton worked
his way through Oberlin and Ann
Arbor. He is an evolved man
big. generous, intelligent, able. At
college he played successful foot
ball, and in life's scrimmage he
hits the line hard.
The president of the Calumet
Hecla is Quincy Adams Shaw, OF
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 Scotch Canadian la
borer.

AN EXPLANATION,

Gentle reader, you have often come across the words, "In the Argonne region" This, of course, refers. Q var dispatches. Then you have look cd at a map of France and after dili- gent search found no such thing. Maybe one or two of you have, but that is perhaps due to the fact that you have better maps than nine out of ten of us own.
 Therefore, know all men by these presents, that the Argonne regicn herewith is fully described. It's identity was learned only after long and laborous siege of research work The Argonne region is in France between the Department of the Ardennes and the Department of tho Mouse. If you have difficulty ir locating these two provisions, loo1 for Verdun and Mezieres, two cities the former in the Mouse province ant tie latter in the Ardennes. Then you'll have it. Get out you; maps right away. It's a fascinatin: exercise!

consuIs Havo Troubles.

The stranded American is the bane uf the consul. His office is invaded by persons claiming his good offices after their plans have gone askew. Those in better circumstances demand that the consul inlorse their notes at the bank, those in poorer circumstances demand to be sent home. It is appar' e1tly fixed idea that a consul can draw on the treasury for the relief of stranded Americans. Many cases of dts.xsss are pitiable and consuls, not even iecouped against the social ex- penses .ecidental to their position. have to glva relief out of their prl. vate means and to stand the inev- ttable loss. The cnly persons whom consuls are authorized by law to aid are sailors on the articles of vessel of American registry wrecked within their consular districts, and in this case only to the extent of immediate relief and passage to the next Amer. ican port.

CENTURY OF PEACE. Gil Painting Feature of Celebration of Ghent Treaty of Peace.

London, Dec. 14.-Cne of the m ,st interesting features of the celebrajinc of peace between Great Britain and the United States today is an oil painting of the plenpotentaries who concluded the treaty of Ghent cue hundred years ago today. This under. taking in group portraiture was exc cuted by Amedee Forestier, the Anglo-French painter, whose work especially as an illustrate" in ol2ck and white is well known.
 The figures of the pfenipotentar. .es have been painted from extant DOT traits in this country and America with the exception of the figure or William Adams, one of the British representatives, who in his lifetime resclutely refused to nave his por- trait painted. The penalty of that ob- stinancy is that in this historical painting MT. Adams is relegated to a shaded corner in the background, where he might be anybody. The in terior in which the plenipotentiaries stand is that of the old Carthusian convent at Ghent, in which the treaty was signed.

Gliding.

The method of gliding picture frame or other similar surface, is as follows: The wood Is first given coat of oil paint. and from four to ten coats of fine whiting mixed with fine glue are put on, eac,. in its turn being smoothed with fine sandpaper This done, a coat of gold-size is given to those parts which are not to be furnished. but those which are, re- ceive only coating of clear enimal- size. The gold leaf IS then laid on, and furnished where desired. h. stead of real gold leaf. Dutch metal which Is simply copper beaten like gold-leaf, is sometimes used, as is also the so-called gold paint, which is finely powdered brass or similar alloy mixed with size.

OF RURAL SCHOOLS.

The importance of the sanitation 0
 subject of a report by the United
 States public health service as the
 result of investigations conducted 1T
 Eastern Tennessee and Northern
 Georgia. Nearly 25,000 persons
 mostly school children, were examin- cd during the Investigations.
 Many insanitary conditions were found and number of school chi!- dren were seen suffering from trach- oma a dangerous contagious eye dis case, which if not treated, in time i'm pairs, or even destroys vision. Also raany physical and mental defects were observed, most of which couIl be corrected by improved hygiene and early treatment, but if neglected will cause needless suffering and hard ships in later life.
 Little consideration had been given to sanitation in the construction oi tEc largest number of the school buildings visited. Either the location heating, lighting, or ventilation, seat ing of the pupils, location of black boards, or sanitary conveniences the" are inadequate, and in several re- spects dangerous to health
 The drinking water for the children was found to be often derived from shallow wells, or unprecedented springs which may cause the spread of disease. Open water buckets and common tin dippers are used eXten- sively in schools of this type. Soil pollution is constantly taking place and must undoubtedly contribute .s disseminate hookwcrk infection.
 The necessity of extending to rural schools the same sanitary advantages HOW enjoyed by urban schools is therefore obvious. This neglect of sanitary precautions observed io rural communities is undoubtedly duo to lack of sanitary knowledge. In- structing the people in tho value of sanitation will naturally serve to make them adopt measures such as are now in force in cities for the proper construction and maintenance of school buildings and the regular medical inspection of school child ren. f3School hygiene has great eco nomical value, in that. it serves tp prevent the spread of disease ana makes the children now in the schools healthier members of the community and the country at large.

ELhlOTT FOR ECONOMY.

The stand that Judge J. M. Elliott las taken for economy in the admin istration of the affairs of the Bank of Pine Bluff, coming before the cf.ancery court by reason Of being in the hands of the state banking de- partment, has been the subject of wide discussion in which the courts attitude has been warmly commend ed.
 Even the depositors and other cred itors of the bank arc not disposed to withheld from any man full compen- sation for his services in the liquida- ton of the institutions affairs, bu: they were almost a unit in the opinion that the claim for $2500 made in behalf of the special deputy ex aminer in partial payment of serv- ices was exorbitant. Especially, as the claim was made before that off cial had been in charge six months The filing of the claim for $25O0 was accepted generally as the intention t.. allow the special deputy $500 I month for his services.
 At the hearing on protests of credi- tors. it developed that the special deputy is receiving $25O month from another source, and will likely receive at least half as much again fer serving as liquidating agent of the Bank of England. also in the hands of the state banking depart nient. The inquiry also developed that the special deputy's services to the. Bank of Pine Bluff were mostly of an advisory nature; that tho actu Il work was accomplished by his agents.
 While expert advice is valued highly, the general opinion is that $500 a month is excessive for the character of the service rendered by the special deputy to the Bank of Pine Bluff. and Judge Elliott's action in allowing $1250 on the claim of S25OO wss generally endorsed, not only by creditors of the bank but by financiers and business men in posi- tjon to fairly value the services rendered.
 With hundreds holding elaine against the Bank of Pine Bluff. and with stockholders of the institution assessed 100 per cent on their holl- ings to meet the claims. it is only right that liquidating the banks af fairs should be conducted as econom- ically as possible, and the chancel- lor's orders indicate that insofar as lies within his power this will be done

The actor knows we'll that on the stage he must walk without extraneous support, and he knows that the mere hint of a walking stick in his hand as he walks the streets is Q temptation to lean this way or that.
