Max Happle, the bachelor sheriff
of bayfield, county. may not have
had very much experience in taking
care of babies, but he is mighty
apt student. Last Saturday after
nooA he was coming over from
Washburn on the Northern Pacific
train. and there was a family of i'm
migrants on board for the new and
thriving settlement at Moquah.
The family consisted of the parents
and upwards of eight children. and
somehow when they got off at their
destination little boy, aged about
three years, and who was sleeping
in seat apart from the rest OF the
family, was overlooked in the hustle
and hustle incident to hurried
exit. Conductor Henderson, to,
did not notice the oversight until
the train had moved on for few
miles, but when he made the dis
covery aud saw the sheriff on the
train, he wished the yoangster off
on him. Mr.. Happle didn't know
about accepting the charge, for he
had consciousness that his training
had been woefully neglected, how

out of it and he decided to take on a
parental air and do his "darnedest. >

Saloons Versus Economics.

The economic problem in it's RI
lation to drink is an immense one,
for it touches and concerns almost
every department of human life,
The time is already here when it is
a hard job for young man to find
employment when it is known that
he frequents the saloon. And every
one k. ows that all such are on the
toboggan- slide, which must end
quickly and can end only in dishonor
and ruin.
eve will not to our knowledge
place a young man who drinks in
our business; and, even though a
young man should apply for posit-
ion whose ability and other all
round qualifications would seem to
fit him for the position. it we knew
or discovered that he was drink
ing man we should decline his appli
cation. = Marshall Field and Co
Chicago.
1t might be said that the above
concern is the leading firm Of the
department stores in the world and
employs in their retail store in
Chicago alone some 5000 people.

To the Editor.
Please allow the space for these
few words, as / believe they are
worth as much as Mr.. Johnston s,
where he claims that the Cardinal
James Gibbons said that Prohibition
cannot be enforced in this country
and that it Is calculated to make
hvpocrites and the Government be
robbed OF the liquor tax u etc.
Mr.. Johnson believe ought to be
paid for his labor If be is not.
Now I do not believe the statement
charging Cardinal Gibbons with say
ing that Prohibition could not be
enforced. ! don't believe he ever
made such a statement March 7tb
1914, or 10 his writings long ago.

by Mr.. Gibbons, and he makes some
pretty strong statements therein.
This Anti liquor movement mas
been going on for years, but
especially for the last 80 years been
so strong and people so we'll inform
ed and educated, that | dom believe
that Mr.. Gibbons would dare to
make such statement.
The Rev. FRI John Ireland Or
dained in 1861 became prominent

years ago, in 1888. rs years ago be

No man would dare to try and make

A VICTIM OF ALCOHOL
"Gladhand" Richardson,
Familiar Character Died
on Saturday Night.

John Richardson, better known
as "Gladhand," who has been a
familiar figure about the city
during the past two years, was
found dead in a shack at the
rear of the Opera House on Sun
day morning. What caused his
death? He was a heavy drinking
man and was seen about the
saloons as late as twelve o'clock
on Saturday night. 1t was un-
doubtedly heart failure caused
by excessive drinking.
We happened to know some
thing about this man. He was
a good natured soul but his fail
ing was his craving for drink.
Two years ago be was employed
at the William Little camps as
chore boy. One day he came to
town on the pretense of buying.
clothes after drawing his wages.
He did purchase an outfit OF
clothes but he never returned to
