ONE ON SENATOR NELSON He Told In Baltimore Speech About His Soldier Ex- periénce. SOONAFTERTHAT HE RECEIVED A LETTER. It Asks Pay for a Horse Said to Have Been Stolen by the Sturdy Statesman. Washington, Feb. 9.—Senator ' Nelson has been made the sub- ject of a good joke-asthe result of his own talk- about his army experience. « That story has brought the joke on Senator Nelson. The senator attended a ban- quet in Baltimore on the invita- tion of an association of business men, and he was down for a speech on commercial guestions. He talked entertainingly about the developement oi the country and about the prospects for in- creasing the trade of the United States in China and other parts of the Far East. Then he got ina reminiscent mood and talked about the time when as a boy he marched with his regiment through Baltimore and out into the rural districts ot the famed eastern shore country of the state. Of course it was a good speech and the senator was probably satisfied that he had done his part 1 contributing to the enjoyment of the evening. Within a day ortwo he " re- ceived a letter from a man in Baltimore. The letter went on to state that the writer had heard ~“the senator’s speech at-the ban- quet and he Wwiskied to remind the senator of a little matter. The - writer recalled the march of the regiment through the rural dis- tricts of the state and also re- marked that at the time of the march the writer’s father had lost a horse off the farm. Would the senatog please remit the value of the horae? ; The best part of the joke is that it is true 'and the demand was apparently made in good faith, : DIED AT DULUTH Sister Theodosius, Formerly of St. Anthony’s Hospital, Died . at Duluth Last Week.

Society Give Sleigh Ride and Oyster Supper at County ° Poor Farm. A novel social event and one of which has ever been held in Be- midji was thesleighing party and supper given by the C. E. soqjety the pleasantest things of the sort|§ attended with more or less of a pyrotechnical display. No less than thirty men and women,the latter predominating, whose presence in Bemidji is no longer tolerated, took the’ train. All were in a happy frame of mind, superinduced perhaps by \iberal applications of the extract of corn. Most,: of the party went to Blackduck, but ~there were destinations in the bunch for practically every town on the| north line. A BUNCH FOR BILL W. B."

BAD WEATHER MAKES THE WOODSMAN DISCONTENTED. Four Barrels of Chickens Sent to One Camp But Cook Would Not Prepare Them. The present winter season has been one of the most severe on men working in the woods of any in the memory of some of the oldest loggers. From camps in every portion of the county come reports of men-with frozen feef, frozen ears, - noses, cheeks or hands. I One logger said yesterday that he knew of several camps where scarcely a man has escaped get- ting some portion-‘of his body frozen or badly frostbitten. While the woods offer some protection from the wind,there is no protection for the men against the frost when the mercury is several degrees below zero, ex- cept to keep in motion, and even then exposed portions of the body, the face or hands will be- come frostbitten before the owner is aware of it. This condition of the weather has occasioned more or less suf- fering for the men, and in some instances they are quitting the camps in numbers claiming that they will not work while it is so cold, and declaring their inten- tion of coming to the city to stay until the weather moderates. This is the time of season when the logger is usually accomplish- ing the most work, the men hav ing settled dowii to- the job-and GRAND FINALE |WEATHERIS HARD AGAINST THE LAW Soliciting a Position as Juryman from Any County Official is Punishable. It is against the laws of the. ., | state of Minnesota to solicit a po- sition on a jury.. The offonse is punishable as contempt by & heavy fine and a term of imprison-: ment.

D e ————————— working well together, and the loss of men is inconvenient. As an offset to the disagreeable weather conditions, many of the loggers are-making-extra-efforts. the very best of camp fare as an inducement to hold them at work. They argue thatif the woodsman is any better fed than he will be in town, and more attention is. paid to his comfort in camp, he:’ will hesitate long before quitting. his job. A number of the local loggers claim that their camp provender bill has been heavier within the last six weeks than during any period in any other winter. ‘One logger, who has a camp not many miles from ‘Bemidji sent out three barrels of chickens' to the camp for the men, and was ready to send the fourth when the cook sent in word that he would not. prepare them if they came to camp. ‘The cook claimed that serving chickens to woodsmen was too much work, and he would quit his job before he would do it. He did not object to making pies * for three meals a day, three or four kinds of cake, sauce, besides the usual array of vegetables and fresh meats, but he did object to: getting up chicken dinners: E3767.
