No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- qugh in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON. By R. W. HITCHCOCK, 5 -ntered In the postoffice at Bemidjl, Minn., s second class matter. Official Paper Village of Bemidji SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR A Pity 'Tis Not Ever Thus. President Roosevelt is unique in a good many ‘ways and one of the best of them is that he enters upon his four year term of office absolutely unpledged to any in- dividual, corporation or ‘influ- ence.”’ Moreover he has announ- ced that he will under no circum- stances be a candidate for re- election. He is therefore free to do as he thinks fit, and the coun- try is beginning to perceive that this is a very good thing for it. The stories of George B. Cor- telyou and Robert J. Wynne are much to the point. former has often been told. That of Wynne is almost equally inter- esting. Wynne had no powerful friends—if we except Roosevelt, Three years ago he was a news- paper correspondentin Washing- ton. The president recognized his ability and has advanced him steadily from one post to another until he is now postmaster gen- eral of the United State and it is rumored that after March 4 he will be made consul general to London, the most important post in the foreign service next to the ambassadorships. There was but one reason why Wynne got these appointments to high" office—he was the best If our pres- idents and governors could al: way be as free to appoint the best man, what a different gov- ernment we should have! Let Peddlers Pay. A bill has been proposed and introduced into the house of re- presentatives in the Minnesota legislature authorizing county commissioners to imposealicense fee of not more than $100 and various other fees on peddlers, and also providing that transient or itinerant merchants selling goods outright or by sample shall be considered peddlers. Such a bill is based upon right principles and it should by all means pass. Merchants who do business in any town are the life of the town; it is upon their ability and enterprise that the town must depend, and it is to them that the town should give every particle of its support. It is more money in the pocket of the citizen to pay the home mer- chant $10 for an article than it is to pay the traveling peddler $8. He is sure to get a part of his $10 back and his neighbors will get a part of it too, but he will never again see one penny of his $8. Besides nine times out of ten the thing you pay the peddler §8 for is not worth $3 while your $10 spent at home gives you anar- ticle that is worth $10 anywhere. If we must have itinerant pedd- lers they ought ‘to pay for the privilege of doing business in competition with the home mer- chant. THOSE Russian officers who refused parole and went to Japan as prisoners ‘of war now have reason to congratulate them- selves on their wisdom. They are about the only Russians on ‘|earth whoare not in desperate straits just now. ANY newspaper thattakes pun- nistic liberties with John Good- now’s name this time should be ready to dodge quickly. “How old was Ann”’ is notin it with the railway rate problem. the merger is?

The .mustang is a little beast slanderously said to be a horse. 1t comes out of the west and is always kicking about it. Of the tribe of them that wear hoofs, nothing, from the devil up, is half so onery. When the mustang was first! snatched from the wild and made to wear the harness of ciyilization he was sold in droves in every town in the north country. Old Jabez Harmon bought one from the first drove that came to Northland and young Jabez at- tempted to break it. He might as well have tried to break the power of Satan himself; and; in- deed,it was little less that he was attempting, for if ever the devil mustang was that horse. He, kicked to infintesimal smith- ereens, with a consistency and an impartially that in itself was much to be admired, every in- vention of man hitched within range of his heels. The smell of civilization made him frantic; the sight of it drove him furious. The more Jabez tried to tame him the wilder he grew. The sight of boiled shirt or the swish of a silk petticoat fairly madden- ed the crazy little brute; had a thousand little demons been in- side him sticking him with their devilish little two tined spears he could not have been more frantic. T this ragged edge of unrea- son had education brought him when fate sent P. Percival Har- mon north to visit his Uncle Jabez and his Cousin Jabez. P. Percival was a flower of the effete East. A tailor man made him and there was nothing slicker to be found on earth outside of a band box. When Percival heard of the mustang and how that he was untamable he was consumed with desire to see such a curious creature. Now it had been found necessary to confine the crazy mustang to a small field which by means of a low stone wall closely surrounded by thickly set trees foxmed a corral suffi- ciently secure to keep the little beast safe. Hither at the first opportunity Percival hurried his steps and unfastening the gate put his precious clothes inside the enclosure. When the mus- tang saw the immaculatePerciv: 1, fresh from the hands of a fash- ionable tailor, reason left him. This flaunting of the glad rags of civilization under his very nostrils capped the climax of in- sult and made the poor pony mad. Down the field he charged full at poor Percival who put about in a panic and missed the gate. Wide mouthed, bulging eyed ter- ror, frotking at the nose and pounding the sod with vicious hoofs put awful fear into Perci- val’s legs and he ran like a white head. Round the field labored Percival with leaden legs swal- lowing sard and sweating terror while the mad horse thundred bot at his heels. Mile after mile it seemed to Precival that he ran, with the hot breath of the fiend upon him, expecting any instant dwelt in the heels of a horse this| and rolled over and over, while the horse-in its blind fury rush- ed on around the field. ‘As blind and almost as crazed as the horse, but animated by the one idea that it was necessary to get his clothes out of their dreadful pre- dicament with all possible dis- patch, Percival ran and stumbl ed desperately on, while the mad thing that was all nose and eyes and hoofs, flaw round the field and hore down upon him again like the cyclone to which it was tborn a brother on the plains of Montana. Percival had made the rounds of the enclusure but blunldered on despairing of his life and his linen until as he pas- sed the gate his Uncle Jabez |} snatched him through. Then they shot the mad mustang. Next day they shipped Percival back to the tailor.
