Minnesota sulll leads the United States in the production of northern pine, and on total lumber production of all varities of woods stands well up with the leaders, ranking fourth. On total production of lumber three states—Washington, Louisiana and Wisconsin—are slightly ahead of Minnesota. These results are shown by the first report of the govern- ment forest service, made public last week at the meeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ association in St. Louis. The government forestry agents have covered the United States, visiting and correspond- ing with the lumber merchants of every locality. The 1905 re- port is based on the returns from 11,649 firms, representing from 95 to 75 per cent of the lumber-producing concerns of the country. The total lumber cutof the United States for the year is re- ported at 27,687,000,000 feet. Minnesota stands fourth on the list ot lumber-producing states, with reports from 173 firms showing a total cut of 1,718,000,- 000 feet. It leads in the produc- tion of northern pine with 1,644,- 000,000 feet. The other lumber with which Minnesota is credited, and the cut of each, is as follows, in mil- lion feet: Hemlock, 24; spruce, 5; cedar, 1; tamarack, 11; white oak, 2; maple, 3; ash, 2; elm, 5; basswood, 7; birch, 4; mixed, 7. Lumbermen realize the value of these forest service statistics and are planning to offer every possible assistance in their col- lection, Hot Pipe Bites the Tongue. “You see smoking tobacco advertised to bite the tongie. Dealers sell it, of course, but inwardly they smile at the idea.” So spoke a tobacconist. “You see, it's this way. The fire in the pipe will bite the tongue if the tobacco burns too fast—namely, If it is a very loose long cut tobacco or a very short dry cut and not packed closely enough in the bowl. There is a point where tobacco may be too closely packed to draw and a point where it may be so it with his hand. The bear took no offense at the caress and the little fellow tried it again, But either in play or in anger, the big animal struck out with his paw and the claws sunk through the boy’s trousers into the flesh of his leg. He was thoroughly frightened and jumped away before the bear couid repeat the stroke. The wound was dressed by a physician. STATE LOAN IS NEAR, HE THINKS President Gould Reports on Re- cent Visit to St. Paul to See Board. “By the next council meeting, next Monday, I feel sure we will receive a definate answer of yes or no on the proposition of a state loan,” declared President W. A.Gould at tiie meeting of the city council last night. “We may not get it all, butitlool 8 very promising for a part of the loan at least, say $15,000.” Mr. Gould has recently rve- turned from a trip to St. Paul where he interviewed members of the board having in charge the loaning of school funds, about the application of this city, and appears quite optimistic over the prospects, He told of the situa- tion in the capital as it was ex- plained to him, The board is favorable to the loan, but it is swamped with ap- plications and, as it has an avail- able sum of only $100,000, it can- not grant all the loans. Mr. Gould thought, however, that the board would let the city have about $15,000 at the present time and later on the other $10,000. A definite decision will be reached as soon as Governor Johnson re- turns from the east. City Attorney Russell also read a letter he had received from Assistant Attorney Cien. eral George Simpson and one he had written in reply on the mat- ter of loaning money when a por- tion of it is to be used in liquidat- ing outstanding indebtedness, Before the evening was over, this phase of the question was happily solved by the report of the city treasurer in which he showed to the surprise of all that there are only about $1,000 of outstanding warrants issued before Bemidji was incorporated as a city. President Gould also brought up the question 0f repairing the wagou bridge across the Missis- sippi. He declared that the bridge is unsafe at the present time—an opinion in which all the aldermen concurred—and it was voted to give the street commit. tee authority to investigate and repair the structure, It is prob- able that it can be made safe with the laying of new planking, Authority was given the sex- ton to expend $25 in work in fix- ing up the cemetery before Memorial Day. via starues, Herodotus makes Solon tell Croesus of several men happler than he. Two brothers, Cleobis and Biton of Argos, he said, when oxen iwere lacking to draw their mother, the priestess of Hera, to the temple several miles-dis- tant, harnessed themselves to the cart. When the mother, proud of her sons and moved by the plaudits of the crowd, had prayed to Hera that her sons might receive the best gifts the gods had to bestow, they lay down In the shade of the temple and never waked. Herodotus says that their statues were sent to Delphi. Homolle found at Delphi two statues practically Identical, of finest archaic work, made early in the sixth century B. O.

A Bride’s Dilemma, A successful oolteacher married a wealthy widower. The man had lived alone with Lis servants since the death of his fi wife. On the morning aft- er the bride's arrival in her new home the cook appeared for orders. Now, the little woman was far more familiar with the classics than with roasts and stews, and she was not a little dismay- ed when Mary innocently put the ques- tion: “An’ how will ye have the beef cook- ed, mum?” For the merest instant she hesitated. Not for a fortune would she have the old servantisuspect her absolute ig- norance of cookery. But her years in the schoolroom had not been in vain. Calmly and sweetly she answered: “Yon may cook it your way today, Mary, and then another time you can try my way.” And the cook went downstairs with a high opinion of Ler new mistress.— New York Press. Superstitions of Farmers. Farmers “stick to the moon” in re- gard to planting corn and other crops. Some of them will not under any ecir- cumstances plant corn on moonlight nlghts, claiming that corn planted then wlil produce a tall stalk with a short ear. Others just as suecessfully plant when they are ready, when nights are dark or moonlight, as the case may be. Other notions are indulged in, such as throwing the cobs In running water to keep corn from firing. Some farmers would under no consideration burn pinder hulls, the seed of which is to be used for planting. They must be scat- tered along a path or highway, to be trodden upon in order to secure a good crop. Green butter bean hulls must be thrown in a road after being shelled for table use from day to-day to insure a good crop the following season.— Charleston News and Courler.

But the woman did not stay long in International Falls. She appears to have suspecied that the man she feared knew of her whereabouts, and so crossing the river to Fort Francis under cover of darkness, took the train for Baudette, She arrived in the latter village sometime Sat- urday morning. But in some way London learned of her flight and fol- lowed. Hearrived in Baudette soon after Mrs. Flett and at once set out to find her. Where they first met is not koown, but one of the hotel keepers tells of putting the couple out of his place early in the day because they were quar- reling and making too much noise. The next scene is the one in another hotel at supper time. Mrs. Flett was eating at one of the tables. At the same hoard were two or three men., Suddenly Londen burst into the room. He held a large pocket knife in his right hand and with- out saying a word he walked up close to the woman., She had not seen him approaching and when he seized her roughly by . the shoulder, she half sprang from her chair. . But just- then the knife de- scended and buried itself in her back directly under the left shoulder. blade, With a cry and a groan the victim fell from her seat and lay bleeding on the floor. At the first sign of violence the men at the table had jumped up and they had the man fast before he could have done further vio- lence had he sointended. The woman was carried to a room in the hotel. The sheriff was not called unti Tuesday, and when he returned to Bemidji brought the man and three witnesses. Mrs. Flett was too badly wounded to be moved. It is nov known what London’s defense will be butit is being prepared by John F. Gibbons, who has been retained to defend him, Titles In Germany.
