paquin Turning Out Army Clothes.


Nine. Paquin, the world-famous
modiste, is now making clothing for
our army.
Whenever anyone congratulated the
late M. Paquin upon his success, and
praised those wonderful creations in
feminine apparel which the world and
his wife fiocked to see. he merely re-
piled, "The credit belongs to madame,
not to myself"
M. Paquln started life as bank
clerk. Madame was saleswoman in
big Paris dressmaking house when
they married. She induced him to
leave the bank and open small cos
tuners shop known as the Maison Lee
lame. That shop has long ceased to
exist, but from it sprang the huge
business house of Paquin. which the
founder eventually sold to a company
with capital of $2.5000o0.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM DR.. d. n. BUSH

January D, 1919.
Dear Wife and Children:
/ am on my way back from the
front. | have seen so much and
seen it so fast, it will be hard to de-
scribe it to you.
We left Rimancourt three days
ago with passes to beat our way to
the front, or at least that is what
we would call it in the states. We
started out on foot and caught a
ride in trucks from town to town.
We have had good luck so far. We
went first to Nieuf Chateau, Tout,
Canmercy, st. Mihiel, Verdun, Au-
briville, Varnum ROMANCE, stayed
all night at last named place in a
house that the Germans had built
the year before. Some officers lived
here. They gave us lodging and
food, they were fine fellows. This
is very small place and l don't
think you will be able to find it on
the map. 1t is just beyond the Ar
gonne forest in section where the
Americans fought the hardest.
One of the officers we stayed all
night with had his brother killed
two miles from this place, he was
able to find him and bury him. All
of the soldiers killed in this forest
have not been buried yet. 1t makes
your blood run cold to hear these
men tell of their experiences during
the fighting. They all say that we
should be thankful that we did not
get to the front until after the fight
ing was over, still sometimes I feel
like | would like to have been in it.
There is no doubt but that the
Americans deserve all the credit
that is given them for winning the
war. They fought and scared the
Germans into quitting. The Ameri-
can fighting was so different to what
the Germans had been used to. The
French or Frogs as our boys called
them, would fight day or two and
then celebrate for a week.
Our boys broke up into small
squads and fought Indian fashion,
each man using his own head, and
this is what won the war. There is
no way to describe the awful des-
truction done, the towns are blown
to pieces and the Americans did it,
"glory to their spunk" against the
French protest. OF course they
were occupied by German soldiers
at that time. Some of these towns
were taken and retaken seven or
eight times. The whole country is
composed of under ground tunnels
and dug-outs. Some of them are
cities under the ground This was
the only place any thing could live
in that region, and not there with
any safety at times. You can't un-

SUPERIOR'S IRON BOOM.

Superior has missed little in the
way of booms. There have been
building booms, real estate booms,
copper booms, shipbuilding booms,
steel plant booms and even booms
in favor of law and order. Once
upon a time, there was a bit Of an
iron boom.
Away back in December, 1892,
quite a furry was created when E..
r. Brace and F.. G.. Stephens, a cou-
pie of Duluth boomers, took an OPP
ton on 1900 acres Of lands belong
ing to the Omaha railway in 48-11.
What was considered as an iron
discovery was made by the late
James H. Agen. Interested in the
deal were such men as R. J. Wemyss,
Martin Pattison, J. H. Agen, w. R..
flaming, w. F. Mates and John S.
Hadley.
F. z. Kennedy headed another
syndicate of ten boomers that had
2,4OO acres of alleged iron lands in
42-11. They claimed ore that as
sayed 4S per cent iron.
The late Joseph Mannheim and
Matt Haug had an option on 800
acres near the Kennedy lands.
Like many another boom, the Su-
perior and Douglas county iron
boom, at least of that year, died
quickly and without much ceremony.

POETS CORNER
THE SEPULCHRE.

The Man had died on the cross,
And they laid him in the tomb;
The Living Stone in the stone,
The Rock in the rock-hewn room;
They left him alone with Death,
And sealed the stone at the door;
They made the sepulchre sure,
And set their watch before.
"Lest his friends should steal him
away,
And say that he rose," they said.
But Life escaped from Death,
And the Goldman rose from the
dead.
The skeptical minds Of men
Still think the sepulchre sure,
But Christ had said, 81 will arise"
And the counsels Of God endure.
Still his disciples go
To carry the wondrous word:
''The Lord is risen indeed!
We know, we have seen and
heard"
And the tomb men think so sure,
With the seal of their scorn on the
door,
The place where the Lord once lay
Is empty forevermore.

BUT THEY'RE GOING TO.

I stood upon the sidewalk and viewed
the passing throng
OF union men, in uniform, who
proudly marched along
With flags and banners flying-how
sweet the bands did play,
It was a scene that once year &C.
ours on Labor Day.
The thousands who were looking on
kept up a constant cheer,
AS union; after union passed-how
fine they did appear,
I thought, while gazing on the scene,
I'm thinking yet, today
Why don't they vote together as they
march on Labor Day?
The boys from mill and factory, COM
prising every trade
Which goes to make a city great,
were in the grand parade.
No one could help but be inspired at
such a splendid sight,
For all admire the men who stand
for justice and for right.
Fraternalism reigned supreme
'twould do person good
To see the workers marching on in
one grand brotherhood.
I thought while gazing on the scene.
I'm thinking yet today
Why don't they vote together as they
march on Labor Day?

DAMFINO JONES.

Damfino Jones, mental drone,
Had no opinions of his own;
He grew to manhood meek and mild,
But he was Indecisions child,
It was the same in veal or woe:
He wasn't sure" or didn't know"
In business he would hesitate
To buy or sell until too late;
So, naturally, he ran in debt
But hasn't run back out as yet.
When asked when he debt would
pay
He couldn't just exactly say"
In romance he just couldn't tell
If he loved Blanche or Isabel
He married Jane, and, safe to say,
Twas she who kept the wolf at bay.
And with religion, mixed he got
When asked if orthodox or not.
In politics he'd weigh and weigh,
And then not vote on lection day.
And so he wavered till he died
And never did one thing decide.
Now I don't know, but it Is said
He isn't now quite sure he's dead.

the privilege of polling off IT'S ques-

The city commissioners will make
no mistake if they deny this or any
other carnival company the right to
raid the pocketbooks of the people.
A carnival usua11y IS bald fake,
characterized by many strong-arm
schemes for separating foolish folk
from their money. Such citizens are
entitled to protection against a
brazen carnival company jest the
same as they are against pick
pockets and burglars.
As medium for amusement, car
niva1 shows are very expensive and
unsatisfying. After carnival COM
pany has raided a city for couple

MY FATHER SAYS.

My Father says that all around
The neighborhood where we live
now
There once were blocks Of vacant
ground,
And some with burrows Of ths
plough.
He. never had to play in streets,
My Father says, or be agrafd
OF policemen walking long their
beasts,
Or care how hard hit he made;
He'd knock the ball, he says for fair,
And lose it where the bushes
grew;
He says he wishes I'd been there
And I do, too.
My Father says they'd sometimes
play
They all were farmers. raising
crops;
They'd make believe some weeds
were hay
And some were corn, or oats, or
hops;
The boy who said, I'm Farmer"
quick,
My Father says, could boss the
rest;
He'd oversee and wave stick,
And say what work that day was
best.
He'd send his farm-hands anywhere,
And tell each player what to do;
My Father wishes I'd been there;
And I do, too.
My Father says that he could run
Across the lots to school and back;
To play at train was heaps of fun,
The weeds were woods, the path,
track.
It curved around little hill,
And that would be mountain
range,
All wild, with deer and bear to kill
Since then, he says. "Oh, what a
change!"
For now just rows of houses stare
And sometimes almost jere at you;
But them wish that I'd been there;
And Dad does, too.
