DIPLOMAS FOR CLASS OF FOUR High School Seniors Are Gradu- ated Last Night at the City Hall. SCHOOL YEAR ENDS WITH GIVING OF SHEEPSKINS Packed House Hears Program of Orations, Essays and Musical Numbers. The Bemidji high school held its fourth'annual commencement at the city hall last night and four young people who have finished the prescribed course of studies were sent from the school doors with diplomas. The graduates are: Jany Wal- ton Mills, Neil Porter Witting, Julian Mauritz Peterson, Har- riette Jane Frizelle. The crowd filled the hall to its utmost capacity and rivaled the gathering that heard the eighth grade exercises Friday night. The stage was prettily trimed in the class colors, white and green, and n the center hung the class motto, “‘Ad astra per aspera.” The first number on the pro- gram was a piano selection by Mrs. Foster, Miss Boyer, Mrs. A, Warfield and Miss Olson, two instruments being used. Follow- ing this number was the invoca tion by Rev. [saac Peart. Julian M. Peterson, one of the graduates, was next on the pro: gram with the salutatory and an interesting essay on the ‘Pro- gress of Science,” Then came avocal solo by Mrs. Mary N. McNary, and after the music Miss Jany Wilton Mills gave an oration on “One Standard of Pa- triotism.” The vocal duet which followed by Misses Isabel Dinsmore and Florence Grimoldby drew con- siderable applause, and then Neil P. Witting gave an oration on ‘““‘Athletics.” The next number was a piccolo fantisie by Edward Braham, Mrs, Foster, Miss Boyer, Miss Olson and Mrs. Warfield, and then came the valedictory and an essay on “Circles” by Harriet J. Frizelle. J.P. Lahr, president of the board of education, presented the diplomas and after a vocal solo by Mrs. McNary the bene- diction was pronounced by Rev. Thomas Broomfield. > BEMIDJI LOSES - CRACK PLAYERS Farley LeGore and Frank Sum- mers Join Northern League Teams. The baseball fans were given quite a shock this week when they lost two of their crack players; Farley LeGore going to Hancock and Frank Summers to Duluth, both cities being in the Northern Copper Countryleague. It looks now as though neither will be back, as both have made good, especially Summers, who played shortstop for Duluth Wednesday and whose hitting and fielding were features of the game. But along with the bad news is some that is more cheerful. Frank Winters, a shortstop from Duluth, joined the locals yester- day and will be in the line-up Sunday. He comes well reccom- mended as a fine fielder and a strong hitter, so the team will not be materially weakened when it plays the strong Walker ag- gregation tomorrow. And it looks as though the locals would need all the strength they can get, as the far famed Rogers has not lost a game for Walker this year, His spit ball seems to be working in ‘fine shape. The Bemidji boys, how- ever, are determined to break his winning streak and the fans may depend on a great game. The following will be the line- uptomorrow: Halstien, Catcher; LeGore, Pitcher; Riddell, 1st. Base; Hallet, 2nd. Base; Winters, Short stop; Hazen, 3rd. Base; Collins, Left Field; Berg, Right Field; Fairell, Center Field. DROWNEI BODY RECOVERE John Swanson Met Death Last Week in Rainy River Near Spooner. The body of John Swanson, who was accidently drowned in the Rainy river near Spooner a week ago, has been recovered and Coroner E. H, Marcum has received a telegram to that effect. An examination of the body fails to reveal any -bruises or marks which might point to foul play and the coroner has ordered the body buried without an in- quest. Searching parties have been dragging the river since the drowning in a previously futile effort to find the corpse. l The Churches I M. E.

To rank In this class the young man is com- pelled to lace his walst and to have a nose ornament of polished shell. But, as an explorer says, ‘“‘very few young blades can afford to possess one, and accordingly it may be lent either for a consideration or as a very special fa- vor. The possessor of one of these or- naments could easily buy a wife for it, and sometimes it is paid as a tribal tribute by one 'should he have to pay blood money or be unable to glve the statutory pig as atonement for a mur- der.” Papuan husbands, too, have a primitive way of dealing with thelr re- calcitrant wives. A man named Gedon had a shrewish helpmate whom he at- tempted to tame according to this method: “He would plck up a billet of wood when she was halfway through a tremendous scolding and give her a terrific blow over the back, Thereupon ensued pandemonium. The other men and women would gather round, jab- bering, but they would make no at- tempt to stop the beating once It had begun.” The Fashionable Diuner; Eight men exclusive of the butler are required to serve a dinner of twenty- four covers, one belng allowed for ev- ery three diners. Another is stationed in the pantry to “run in” the courses. Absolute order and silence reign among these men, who perfectly under- stand the butler's cabalistic signs. Blectric signals pass constantly be- tween chef and butler. From the seat- ing of guests until the ladies leave not more than elghty-five minutes should elapse, for long dinners are considered bad form. TUpon these occasions scarcely a member of the domestic corps escapes some special duty. The housemalds assist the pantry maid. After each course twenty-four silver plates and countless small silver must be carefully cleansed, wiped very dry and then pollshed with chamols before being put away. Nearly 200 pieces of engraved crystal ware must be washed and polished, and It Is too costly and brittle to be hastily handled.—Every- body’s Magazine. Ghost or Illusiont A minister of the gospel, according to this tale, was walking to and fro in a long passage that ran through the house and meditating upon his next ] sermon, There brushed by him a housemaid. He watched her pass and enter his study. Fearing that she would disarrange his papers, he hurried after her, went Into his study—and no one was there. No means of egress was possible but by the one door through which he had seen the girl en- ter. He rang the bell and—the house- mald came down from the top of the house, where she had been performing her dutles. And the unusua) part of the story is that nothing happened— no one sickened and died. The young woman married happily. And yet that minister of the gospel is sure that he saw that housemaid pass him. Nor to this day does his stout and happy ma- tron know that she was ever in two places at once. T ‘Wealth In 0ld Roman Times. Our wealth, as much as we boast of 1t, is comparatively puny as compared with the wealth of men of: old. There ence brilllant stone. was Mark Antony’s house that was 801a to Messala for over $500,000, and Scaurus’ villa was burned at a loss of over $12,000,000. Otho spent over §14,- 000,000 In finishing one wing of a palace commenced by Nero. Nearly $86,000,000 was found In the coffers of Tiberlus, and Caligula spentdt all in less than a year. Paulus could make a trifiing present to the mother of Bru- tus of a pearl worth over $80,000. So let us be modest. We are a cheap people, even the wealthiest of us. WOMAN BITTER AGAINST LONDON Florence Flett Says She Is Sorry He Was Not More Severely Punished. ARRIVED IN CITY 'rdnn IN CUSTODY OF SHERIFF She Is Not Fully Recovered But Is Getting Well Fast. Miss Florence Flett, the victim in the stabbing affair at Baudette is sorry that London was not given a stiffer sentence. “He got off too easily, the wretch,” she exclaimed bitterly when she heard the news of his sentence to state prison. The woman arrived in the city today with Sheriff Bailey, who made a special trip to Baudette to bring her here to be had as a witness at the trial. Of course she is not needed now, but it was not possible to get word of Lon don’s plea to Baudette until after the sheriff had left and he knew nothing of it until arriving home, Miss Flett says she is glad itis all over, as the trial would not have been pleasant and she would have had to stay in the sherifi’s custody until 1t was taken up by the court, sometime next fall. The woman is not completely | recovered from her wound, but is able to travel. Republican State Convention.

The more vigorous and complete the combustion the high- er the refrangibility of the light. - A flame burning in a tardy and restricted way emits rays that are red. When burning in a more complete and efféc- tive manner the emitted rays change to violet. The flame of a candle or & lamp consists of a serles of eccentric luminous shells surrounding a central dark core. These shells of flame emit light of different colors, the innermost one—that in direct contact with the dark core—being red and having a tem- perature of exactly 977 degrees F. Upon this and in their proper order of refrangibility are shells of light which are orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The reason that such a flame does not appear to us as a nest of cones of different colored light is this: When we look upon such a flame all of the rays issuing from the dif- ferent layers or strata of concentric luminous shells are received by the setina of the eye at one and the same time. This can only impress with the sensation of neutral or white light. Rubfes. The finest rubies are still kept in Asla. The Great Mogul had 108 large rubies in his throne, and among them was one weighing two and one-half ounces. Of European rubies Charles the Bold, that luckless son of a for- tunate fatber, had three rubles called the Three Brothers, of perfect color and worthy size. They passed Into the possession of James L., who sent them to “Baby Charles.” There is a large heart shaped balas ruby in the Eng- lish crown. It has been neither cut nor polished, {8 only semitransparent and is of a dark red, like a morello cherry. Austria bad, or has, an orien- tal ruby the size of a hen's egg, and Queen Elizabeth showed Sir James Melville one as big as a racket ball. Runjeet Singh had a large ruby with the names of many kings engraved on it. Among them was that of Aurang- zeb. A king of Persla had one which he prized at the value of a city or even a kingdom. It was a table cut balas ruby of a beautiful color of at least a finger’s breadth. The Ship’s Log. The record of a .ship’s voyage Is called its log because the observations of Its speed. usually tiken hourly, by the log line are 2 véry lmportant factor in the record. The logline is so called because the float attached to the line was originally a small log or stick of wood. This “log” Is now a square or triangular piece of board weighted so that It sits upright in the water. The log line is divided by knots or marks into lengths of fifty-one feet, which s about one one-hundred-and-twentleth of a marine mile, so that the ship is golng as many marine miles or knots in an hour as the number of knots or lengths that run off the reel in half a minute when the “log” is thrown over- board. Animals In Mohammedan Heaven. According to the Mohammedans, ten animals have been admitted to para- dise—the dog Kratim, the follower of the seven sleepers, Balaam's‘ass, Solo- mon’s ant, the honeybee, Jonah’s whale, the ram which was offered in sacrifice in place of Isaac, the camel of Saleb, the cuckoo of Balkis, the ox of Moses and Al Borak, the monstrosity which conveyed Mohammed from earth to heaven and back again in a very short time. These creatures were all sainted for some special services which they had rendered to man. English Railway Signals.

The Size of the Sun, The sun, provided we measure only the disk seen with (he smoked glass, I8 866,000 miles in diameter—I e., 108 earths could be comtortably ranged side by side across the disk. To-cover the surface would require many thou- sands. To fill the interior we should need 1,300,000. On a smaller scale we might represent the sun by a ball two feet in diameter and the earth by a good sized grain of shot. Let the sun Dbe hollowed out, then place the earth at its center and let the moon revolve about it at its real distance of 240,000 wmiles. There would yet remain nearly 200,000 miles of space between the woon’s orbit and the iuclosing shell of the sun. Indeed to journey from one side of the sun to the other, through the center, would take one of our swift * express trains nearly two and a half years. So vast a globe must be heavy.

There are several districts in France where the very anclent tongues still survive: Basque is spoken by about 100,000 persons, who are naturally proud of a language that is their ex- clusive possession, for it is unlike ev- ery other spoken tongue, and the as- gertlon 1s commonly made that to un- derstand it one must haye learned it in the cradle. This peculiar property glves in the mind of the Basque people support to their belief that it was the language of Adam and Eve. The same claim {s advanced, though, for Breton. The Romans when they conguered Gaul compared Breton to croaking of i ravens. About a million people speak Breton., Then there are Flemish, still /Spoken by a comparatively small num- i ber in northeastern France, Catalan in | the Pyrenees-Orlentales and Langue- doc and Provencal, whose gradual ex- tinction has been delayed mainly by the efforts of a few literary enthusi- asts.
