The Moral of Which Is That While Many Swear Off, but Few Stick. “I once swore off smoking,” said the clubman. “That was when I was young and did not know myself. I swore off with a friend, and the penalty was a suit of clothes to cost $80. The condi- tion was that we were not to smoke in town. When traveling or hunting or fishing—out of town, in fact—we would be allowed to smoke. The scheme worked well for some time; then I be- gan to want to smoke. I battled with desire for several weeks, each day of the period becoming a harder trial than the preceding. At last, when the long- ing became too great I went to see my partner in misery to tell him that we had better call the contract off, as I could not stand it. He v not at home. He had gone out of town a week before and would be absent another week. Then I broke down.

The second larg- est is Butte, Mont nd_closely press- ing it is Calumet, Mich. Both Butte and Calumet are copper camps, and it is a no- table fact that, with the sole exception of the Kimberly diamond mines, the most itable mining rroperties of the entire d are those producing copper. Ethnologicallv, Calumet is a composite. It is doubtful if there is another town in the country wher there is so small a pro- | portion of American-born residents. | There is the usual number of Chinese Jaundrymen and a Chinese restaurateur, | Japanese curio deale Cornish miners from England, fully five thousand Russla, French-Canadians, Swedes, Norwegians, Ital- s, Slavs, Slovaks, Sloveni- Dalmatians, Bohemians, garians, lllyrians, Jews, Poles, Rus- ians, Hollanders, Dai Belgians, Swiss, Syrians, Arabs and people whose nation- | alties it is almost impossible to classify. Buffice it to say that at the present time there are no less than thirty-four differ- ent languages spoken in Calumet. The immigrants usually modify their cos- tumes in partial compliance with Ameri- can fashions, but many of them retain some distinguishing article of dress or headwear. The Italians cling to their full- fashiohed trousers, cut upon the most ridiculous bias, and the Finnish women adhere to handkerchiefs of gaudy hue for head covering, while their husbands cling | to the home-made shoe-pacs, ungainly in appearance, but much warmer and cheap- er than the footwear from Massachusetts factorfes. Newcomers from the moun- tains of Southern Austria part with the cocks feathers in their hats reluctantly, and the Syrians exhibit their fondness for | dazziing reds and yellows. One fact stands out very prominently amid this jumble of styles and colors—the Ameri- can-born children of these forelgn deni- zens refuse to wear anything but gar- ments_conforming to the American stand- ardard. The old folks can dress as they please, but the rising generation is Yan- kee, through and through.—From a letter to the Boston Transcript. —————— The Pinninkinnink Coal Company has on exhibitio . at its offices in Clarks- Finns | Ger- | burg, W.

When news of his intentions reached Sacramento, where, since the marriage, Irma Wilson-Stoddard and her mother, s. Overly, have been staying, the girl and her mother and her stepfather start- ed at once for here. They arrived Monday evening. The girl's people have had one interview with the young husband, the substance of which was an inquiry on their part as to what he was going to do, and a reply on his that he was going to have the marriage annulled according to agree- ment. They said it was not right, the girl's reputation was being injured by his absence from her side, and he de- clared he had done all they had demanded of him, and for anything further they could talk to his attorney, B. N. Deu- »y. There were some threats and high ds and then the girl's mother secured the services of W. H. H.

He served five and a half years, and upon his release wrote a book en- titled “He Shall Be Damned. It was a story of his life and a roast for the McDonald family. The fabulou: um of $40,000 was offered Swalm for the copyright, but he had the book dramatized and refused to sell for less than $100,000. He took a large number of subscriptions for the book and collected a large amount of money in advance. How- ever, the publication never appeared, but Swalm took the funds and what he had when he left prison and went the same old hot pace as long as he had a dollar left. He was the idol of the Tenderloin and the best thing in town for the “cabbies,” his hack bills averaging 3100 per month. He was regarded as the ablest life insurance so- licitor in town and is said to have been the only man who ever suc- ceeded in writing a policy for the late “Jim" Fair.

It was there that he brought his experiments, with what is really a phonographic voice trumpet of great distance-covering capacity, to the pitch of what he regards as practical success. A Dally Mail representative saw the instrument working indoors, and had an interview with Mr. Short, who took the apparatus to pieces in his presence.

There have been unusual evidences of prosperity in Milbridge during the | | | | i it has been an off year for business all over the country. The shipping has suf- fered to some extent on account of the | war, and there have been no vessels built in this vicinity, but the sardine fishing and granite industries have flourished and a large amount of busi- ness has been done. The sardine factorles in Milbridge have not done so well in years as they have this season. The herring have been plenty ever since early spring, and the factories have never been obliged to stop work a single day for the want of fish. The herring now are striking off, and are not much caught in the weirs, but plenty of them are found at different points from Grand Menan to Mount Desert Island, so that the fac- tories are assured of a good supply un- | til they close up in December. Thousands of cases of sardines have been packed by the two factories here, and as the price has been fairly good during the summer the packers have made money. As far as this season is concerned the packers here are glad the sardine trust was not formed, as they say that they have realized more from their packs this season than they could have got from the trust. It is estimated that the sardine pack this year will be double what it was last season. The factories have kept | many people constantly employed, the | fishermen have found a ready sale for their herring, and everybody here has got a taste of the prosperity.
