FOUND DEAD IN
BED AT PEQUAMINC.

Armas Thure. one of Pequaming's
good citizens and well known Finnish
athlete, passed away suddenly Thurs
day night, death undoubtedly being
due to heart failure. Mr.. Thure had
been feeling fine up to the time of hn
retirement, in fact he had been around
town visiting up to supper time. and
his sudden ending has been distinct
shock to the community. About three
o clock yesterday morning it was found
that he had died, his slumber chang
ing to one from which there is No
awakening in this world.
Mr.. Thure was thirty-six years of
age and has resided in Pequaming for
number of years. Surviving him are. .
widow and five children, and brother
residing in the copper country.
The funeral will be held from the
Finnish-Lutheran church at PequanlnG
tomorrow. it is expected.

FIRST LYCEUM
NUMBER PLEASING.

The first number on the lyceum
course, which was given at the Opera
House Monday evening under the aus
pices of the high school, was pleasing
to those attending. and they look fov-
ward with pleasure to the several otA-
er delightful entertainments to be Civ
en- during the winter. N.
The Metropolitan Glee Club, which
appears here November 18th, is among
the successful popular quartettes Of
today. Mnch of the charm of their
progam is found in the sheer forcenf
the irresistible personality Of the indi-
vidual artists. Their program consists
of solos. readings, quartette work, and
the playing of various musical instr.-
ments. Their work with the Swiss
bells is worthy Of the most favorable
comment, while their slide tromboue
quartette is something out of the or
dinary.

KEMPPINEN SUICIDES
AT CAMP CUSTER

August Ksmppinen, one of the young
men sent to Camp Custer with the last
quota from Baraga county, committed
suicide on Thursday of laet week. Be-
fore he killed himself, Kemppinen
crawled behind the hot water heater in
one of the lavatories, rather a difficult
feat, and there slew himself with q
single razor stroke. Blood on the floor
attracted the attention of his COM
radss.
At the time of the draft registration
he was working in Hebard's camp IL.
His number, 258, was the first drawn
at Washington, and it is presumed that
worrying and anxiety unbalanced his
mind. for while in L'Anse waiting for
the summons he was found diving in
Fall river one day attempting to res
cue some people whom he imagined
had drowned there.
He leaves a brother, Henry, residing
in Houghton.

HEBARD MILL WILL
RUN ALL WINTER

Charles Heqard & Sons saw mill at
Pequaming will be run all during the
coming winter for the first time in the
history of the plant. A hot pond is be-
ing built and the mill will be comfort
ably inclosed and heated. The railroad
will also be extended to the pond.
The decision of the company means a
great deal to the workmen of Pequam-
ing. who heretofore have had to earn
enough in six or seven months to last
them through the year, or 60 to the
woods to work during the winter.

A quarters worth will keep one OF
them happy a week.
That's what was told.
"Happy?"I queried, for picture
came to my mind, and / found it i'm
possible to fit happiness in with that
picture.
But it is an ancient axiom that ev-
erything is relative. A cessation of
agony is happiness, even where that is
the sole blessing, at least for the
swooning moment of peace. And SO il
is that one of them can be happy-rel-
atively-on a quarters worth for q
whole week.
Sometimes it seems to us that il
takes great deal to induce happiness.

FINDS BUCKS DEAD
WITH LOCKED HORNS.

Harry Holmes, a timber cruiser,
came across an unusual sight Thurs
day, when he found two deer dead in
the woods near Hebard's camp II, with
their horns securely locked together.
The animals, weighing twelve hundred
pounds, had been dead about twen-
ty-four hours, and before they became
exhausted must have taken part in a
battle royal.
Deputy Game Warden Sicotte was
out and took in the sight and gave d.

BURGLARS MADE BIG
HAUL IN L'ANSE.

Burglars made good haul in L L'Anse
Monday night, when they visited the
stores of J. B. Smith and Ed Sicotte &
Company and secured merchandise
amounting to about five hundred
dollars.
Securing pinch bar at the mill, they
entered the store of Mr.. Smith by
breaking open the cellar door and
prying off panel in the door upstairs.
They took shoes, socks, shirts, hats
and other wearing apparel, and when
the store was opened up in the morning.
it looked like il had been visited by a
cyclone. boxes and dry goods being
scattered all over the floor. They also
rifled the till securing eight or ten
dollars. Mr.. Smith roughly estimates
that his loss will amount to about two
hundred dollars. Sicotte's store was
entered through the cellar, the thieves
coming up through the floor near one
of the side windows. Here they re-
peated the operations gone through ut
Smiths store, securing six or eight
dollars and merchandise amounting to
about three hundred dollars.
No clues have been secured that we
know Of as to who did the stealing, but
the burglars must have used car or
wagon to have gotten away with what
they did. They certainly took their
time in their operations and it seems
that they were very particular, taking
only the pick of the stock.

A QUARTERS WORTH.
BY HILDEGARDE HAWTHORNE.

That's how it is-a pipeful of tobac
co. a couple of cigarettes-thes are
the joys. the, relaxation, the moment
of peace after the terrible hours of
strain and fury and turmoib these
must take the place of all that in nor
NAL times and in normal lives goes to
make happiness. They must be the
sign of remembrance, Of thanks, of the
fact that those out there, who are
daily giving the uttermost in them to
give, even to the last sacrifice, are
cared' for, are unforgotten, are loved
by those who are back home.
You can't buy very much at home
for a quarter, principally because you
have SO much already. But get out
there where there is nothing except
the terror that walks by day and by
night, the living grave of the trench
es, the eternal din of the guns, the
mud to lie in and to work in-out there
where every next moment may be the
last, and little bit of tobacco will
spell happiness. IS
''You see, it takes your mind off, +"
concluded my informant.
''Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund.-
takes your quarter and sees to it that
more tobacco than you could get for
that money goes straight to the men in
the trenches or on the ships. Already
England. Australia, Canada. France.
New Zealand, already these, through
private contributions. are sending that
quarters worth. Now 1t ID our own

cial meaning, meaning difficult to ig-
more.

them happy for . week"
