Hatcher has concluded his extensive logging operations for this season, having finished Saturday the soriing and driving of several million feet of white and Norway pine and other varieties of timber. During the winter months Mr, Hatcher handled twelve million feet of logs on the Schooleraft and Mississippi rivers, eight million feet of the timber stand- ing on the Schooleraft lake and river and Birch river and four million at various points on the Mississippi. These logs were cut and later driven from Lake Itasca down the Mississippi, and from the Schoolcraft down through Lake Plantagnet, Mar- quette lake, Schoolcraft and Mississippi rivers to Lake [rving, entailing a large amount of work, These logs were the property of :‘ the Crookston and Grand Forks lumber companies. In addition to the above, Mr. Hatcher also cut and logged sixteen million feet for the Crookston Lumber company near Island lake. put into Island lake, from which they were hoisted and brought to Bemidji via the Crookston | Lumber company’s Wilton branch of the Great Northern. Mr. Hatcher states that the season was a fairly successful one for him, and that he was en- tirely satisfied with the results. In his extensive operations, he must needs haye a central point where he can establish head- quarters, and he stated today that he intends to have his office in Bemidji hereafter and will transact all of his business here. This will mean considerable to| this place, as he employs, when| actively engaged in logging oper- ations, 350 men, with a good-sized payroll. He formerly had his offices at Park Rapids.

Matters of considerable im- portance are to be brought up and it is desired that as many of the directors and members as possible turn out. Banana Bread. Bread made from banana flour Is common enough in Europe and Eng- land. One pound is sald to contain more nourishment and energy produc- ing material than one pound of the finest beefsteak, Is much more digest- ible and less than one-sixth the price. SIr Henry Stanley was a firm believer in the banana. He went 8o far as to advise that its consumption would cure rheumatism, gout and all liver affec- tions. When lying at the point of death from gastritis a light gruel of banana flour mixed with milk was the only food he could retain and digest. The secret of the banana as a health and strength producing food lies in its high percentage of proteids and the great number of its calorigs, respective: Iy 20 and 391.71.

Madison, Wis,, July 16.—The shoot- Ing of Gecrge Howard, a Gotham (Wis.) traveling man, is believed to have shown the existence of a boy bandit organization. Four boys are under arrest and a confession is ex pected. A bullet is still in Howard's back, but he is expected to recover. Truly Consiaerate. A considerate patient had an artery openad by mistake for a vein by a French surgeon in the operation of bloodletting. The woman succumbed uwot long after to the effect of the blunder, but in her will left the sur- geon a small yearly pension, “not ouly to comfort him, but so that he could live the rest of his life without doing vivisection any more.” A similar his- toric occurrence is related in the Med- leal Times of a Polish princess who bad had the same experience. She add- ed a clause to her will expressing her forgiveness and leaving the surgeon a small pension to indemnify him for the “loss of reputation that may follow my sad catastrophe.” Cleopatra’s Mummy. ‘Where does Cleopatra’s body rest? Scarcely a layman who would not an- swer, “Why, in Egypt!” After her cajoleries, her wiles, her life of In- tense if not very exalted loves, Cleo- patra was laid In one of the loveliest tombs that has ever been fashioned by the hand of man.

Today an ugly mummy; with an emblematic bunch of decayed wheat and a coarse comb tied to its head—a mere roll of tightly swathed dust—lies crumbled in a hideous glass case at the British mu- seum.

The much-touted Fertile base- ball team proved “easy money’’ for the locals at the new park here Sunday afternoon, Word had been sent in advance that the Fertile outfit were strong and would walk away with the game in a canter, but they went the way of nearly all the teams that have played here this summer. Score, Bemidji 12, Fertile 4, The visitors had as a battery Gerrity, a former twin city pitcher, and a catcher from Crookston. They also had in their line up Johnson of Crooks- ton, Healey (formerly with the Grand Forks Northern leaguers), and Rand, a hired professional who is making his living at Fer- tile through his good playing at second base, Gerrity has about everything in the line of curves and speed, but was as wild as a March hare. Eleven hits were secured off his twirling, he struck out eight and gave nine bases on balls, besides making a couple of costly wild throws to bases. Farley LeGore pitched for Be- midji, with Louis Roy catching. Five hits were made off Farley, allof which came in the first four innings. After the fourth, the visitors did not hit to safe terri tory once, and but three men faced LeGore in each subsequent inning. He struck out eight and gave three bases on balls “Louie” caught a clever game and threw well to bases. “Red” Hazen had ten chances at second base and accepted them all without an error. Riddellled in the hitting, securing three safe ones, while young Loyd Carlton got two hits out of three times up. Thomas Keefe of Bagley um. pired. There was a fair-sized crowd present, and despite the one-sided score the game was a good one to watch. Louis Roy has returned from North Dakota, where he has been playing ball for several weeks. “Louie” caught at Walker Satur- day and officiated behind the bat at yesterday’s game here, and his work was the best that has ever been seen with the locals. He not only catches good and throws well to bases, but he is a foxy and sure hitter. The *‘fans” all like Roy, as he is always in the game, and is good natured. The game of ball played Sat- urday afternoon between the Bemidji bartenders .and Sam Marin’s “Jackpine Savages’’ re- sulted in a victory for the latter, by a score of 7 to 6. Pearl Davis pitched and Tom English caught for the bartenders, and although the sporting editor wag not present, he has been assured that the game was fast and furi- ous from start to tinish. And now the defeated team declares it will challenge the witners to another battle. SWEET REVENGE FOR THE LOCALS There was a “bingfest” at Walker last Saturday when the Bemidji ball team literally wiped the earth with the aggregation of red-suit wearers who repre- sent that town. The cannonad- ing was something terrfic, twenty-scven hits being secured off the Walker pitchers,. which resulied in a sum total of 22 runs for Bemidji, while Whiker got but a brace of hits, and out of compassion for the boys in red they were allowed 'to run in-four scores. The local team was ‘‘shy” Benny Holstein, catcher, and Louis Roy, the old standby, took bis place. ‘‘Louie” caught a star game. Young Loyd Carlson was taken along to make out the nine, but despite the fact that the boys were somewhat weaker appar- ently than usual, they made up for 1t with the fastest ball play- ing that has been seen in this part of the state this year. They hit the:‘ball savagely and ran Denver's First Stagecoach, On -the 17th of May, 1859, Denver turned out to welcome the first through coach of what was destined to grow into the.“Overland Mail,” an enterprise which for sheer American pluck and daring must be forever linked with the |* fame of the “Pony Kxpress” Red shirts drifted to the outskirts of the hamlet and dotted the hills around. Hard faced bartenders made ready for the “hottest night that ever tore the camp loose.”” The artillery of Lolster and saddle boot was unlimbered for an ecstatic fusillade. There was lively betting- In dust and nuggets that the first through stage had been gathered in by Indians, with takers as eager to stake their faith thut the scalps of driver and guard would come through Intact. At length a swirl of dust show- ed far down the trail. It grew into a yellow cloud that crept toward the eager hamlet, Then six mules, streteh- ed out on the gallop, emerged from this curtain, and behind them was the lumbering, swaying stage, come safely through on time, and Denver was in touch with the world where men wore white shirts and lived In real houses. The cheers that roared a welcome to this heroic enterprise were echoed in every western town which hoped and longed for a link of its own with the home countfy, “way back east.”--Out ing Magazine. OLD DIRECTORS ARE ‘RETURNED Dzs. Smith and Marcum Elected to Board of Education. Twenty-three Votes Cast. The school election Saturday night at the schoohouse lacked every eloement of excitement, Drs. E. H. Smith and E. H. Mar- cum, the old directors whose time expires this month, being returned to the board of educa- tion by a unanimous vote. The crowd was meager, but twenty-three ballots being cast, Drs. Marcum and Smith will now be members of the board for terms of three years each. Montaigne Runs on Anything, ‘When I read Montaigne or Words- ‘worth or Landor I am always remind- ed of the advice which the basebalf coacher on the side lines so often re- peats to the men on bases, “Run on anything!” Hach one of these worthies, to continue the parlance of the ball field, accepts all his chances. If Words- worth never gave to the world “Lines Suggested by Seeing a Favorite Cat Crossing the Road” it was simply be- cause that spectacle never chanced to arrest his “inward eye.” If Montaigne never meditated, as did another cele- brated author, on producing a chapter about “Buttonholes” such reticence was not in any degree owing to barrenness The Polite Burman. In the cities of Burma, where the natives have been long in contact with Europeans, says the author of “Bur- ma, Painted and Described,” they have lost some of their traditional polite- ness, but in the country districts old school courtesy Is still the custom. An Hnglish gentleman who had bought a new pony was trying him out on a Burman road when the animal bolted 4nd ran at top speed down a narrow road. In the way ahead was a native msy JULY 26 Burks Big Double UNCLE TOM’S CABIN CO. ~ Waterproof Tent Shows 75 Actors, Musicians, Singers and Dancers. 25 Head, Shetland Ponies and Donkeys. 2 Bands, Colored Drum Corps.

And had hé attempted it he would perchance have begun with shoe: strings, wandered on to darning nee dles and pruning hooks, quoted a doz- en or so of Latin authors in regard to plowshares, related anecdotes concern- ing dealings of the Cymbrians, Scyth- lans, Lacedaemonians, Romans and the like with knots and fastenings, men- tioned his own personal experience in’ the matter of hooks and eyes and end- ed by an exposition of the practical, mechanical and ethical relations be- tween a buttonhole and a button, and every quaint and divaricating line would have endeared him to his affec- tionate render.—Martha Baker Dunn in Atlantic. Inherited Memories, A writer In the Nineteenth Century tells a strange story of “inherited memories.” The ruins of an ancient Roman fortress rise from the grounds of a Mr. Phillips. A clergyman called upon the owner one day and asked to see the ruins. “He told me he had a distinct recollection of living there and that he held some office of 'a priestly nature In the days of the Roman occu- pation,” said Mr. Phillips. “One fact struck me as significant. He insisted on examining a ruined tower which had bodily overturned. ‘There used te be a socket in the top of it he went on, ‘in which we used to plant a mast, and archers’used to be hauled to the top In a basket protected with leather, from which they picked off the lead- ers among the ancient Gorlestonians.’ We found the socket he had indicated.” Birds Cross No Deep Seas. A writer in the London Outlook points out that no birds cross deep, even if narrow, seas. The narrow Mad- agascar strait is impassable to birds, though the north seas are a highway for them. Godwits pass from the Nile P the sheres of Norfolk, though neigh- boring Islands in an archipelago may show no common stock. All birds, with the possible exception of the sparrow, are stirred to movement by different causes—wind, weather, food, the bully- Ing of parent and other birds. Birds of prey drive off their young. Martins love familiar eaves. Successive ravens have built on the same ledge for a cen- wiry. The longer passages are only made over shallow seas that once were land, and when once a journey is made the memory Is strong enough to urge a repetition. The change of home then becomes not a fashion, byt ap inberit- ed habit. For many yeurs Lord Gardenstone was one of the characters of Edin- burgh and as such received a place among the famous Kay's portraits. He was represented riding on an old horse, with a dog in front and a boy dressed In a kilt bebind. A detailed account of the: picture states that Kay por- trayed him as, what he really was, a very timid horseman, mounted on an old hack, which he had selected for its want of spirit, preceded by his favorite dog Smash and followed by a highland boy, whose duty-it was to take charge of the horse on‘arriving at parliament house. His eccentricity took the even stranger form of a strong affection for pigs. He became so much attached to Girl Slaves In China. A native writer in a Chinese publica- tlon remarks: “When a girl is sold in China she becomes the slave of her owner and a part of his property. She no longer retains her freeborn rights, but surrenders them all to the will of those who own her. She receives no compensation for her labor, but is obliged to accept such raiment and Parade at Noeon FREE Exhibition at 7 p. m. Ancestral Memory. As I walk along a dark, lonely road my ears are on the alert, right and left. I look over my shoul- der. Where did I learr this habit? May it not be the memory disk giving off its record? My savage ancestor learned by long years of experience to be specially on his guard in a lonely place and in the dark. When my in- dignation is thoroughly roused I find my hands clineh, there is a tightening of the lips, the teeth are more plainly visible, and the whole attitude is sug- gestive of making a spring. Here Is a trait of early man, who gathered him- self together aand sprang upon his en- emy to rend him with tooth and claw. I have often noticed that when people use the word “offensive” it is accom- panied by a quiver of the nostrils and an Involuntary movement of the nose. The imagination is still baunted by that picce of very offensive carrion which my primitive ancestor with a prejudice for raw meat found too strong for him, so strong that his nose rejected it at once.—Nineteenth Cen- tury. How to Learn a Forelgn Langunge. One may begin the attempts of free expression, and thus an independent use of the language, with a compara- tively small vocabulary. Conscientious reading and well conducted conversa- tions will then quickly enlarge the vo- cabulary and develop the facility of ex- pression. But I cannot lay too much stress upon the fact that the free and exact rendering of one’s own thought in writing is the most efficient exercise in acquiring a language. In mere con versation we are apt to slip over diffi- culties by permitting ourselves vague- I glance t0 ; pestaurant in Brighton, England, not Eating Snails, Four Britons ate snails at a French long ago. Their expériences are de- scribed as follows: “In due course the plates appeared, each bearing half a dozen snail shells of a dingy white. A slender two pronged ¢ork accompanied each dish. With this the spails were Jerked out, their big vlack horns com- ing first, accompanied by a small erup- tion of gravy. One of the experimenters looked critically at the uninviting ob- Ject at the end of his fork, then he shut his eyes and popped It into his mouth. His teeth met on sowmething yielding, but tough, rather suzgestive of india rubber. All four epicures manfully ate their six snails.” Baking Bread. The action of yeast on dough con- verts some of the starch into sugar. Then the sugar is made into carbonic acld gas and alcohol. When the dough 13 baked the alcohol is driven off. If the bread is underbaked some of the yeast may remain unkilled, and such bread by being kept may have more of its starch changed into sugar. Thor- ough baking kills all yeast, and keep- ing of such bread does not cause any ripening. Stale bread is more digesti- ble than new bread solely because it is more easily masticated. Chlldren and Influences. The reason why children so easily contract the mien, gestures and habits of their surroundings is that they have no power of resistance—everything outside them is_stronger than them- selves, and they have to borrow from all outward influences for their own growtl; heace they are good, cheerful one that he allowed it to share his bed, and when good feeding and rapid growth made it a rather cumbersome bedfellow it was still lodged in com- fortable quarters in the apartment. During the daytige it followed him about like a dog. $ 1e morning a farm- er had occasion to visit his lordship and, being shown into his bedrocm, stumbled upon some object. That ob- Ject gave vent to an uncompromising grunt and squeal of complaint, and from the bed there proceeded a voice, “It is just a bit sow, poor beast, and 1 laid my breeches on it to keep it warm all night.”—Dundee Advertiser. food as her owner may be pleased to glve her. In cases of tyranny or gross cruelty she cannot appeal for redress. She may be resold, given away or cast oft in the streets at the arbitrary will of her master. All freedom is denled her, and she remains a tool and chat- tel in the hands of her owner until she is sold again or until death releases her from her unwilling fate.” The Meaning ot “Bridge.” The story goes that years agv, long before bridge was known in London clubs, two families who played the game under the name of “Russian ‘whist” were living in mneighboring houses at or near Great Dalby in Leicestershire. The only road of com- munication lay over a somewhat dap- gerous bridge. It was a frequent oc- currence for the departing guests to say to their hosts: “Thank goodness, it is your ‘bridge’ tomorrow,” meaning that the other party would have to cross the dangerous bridge the next night; hence is said to have arisen the title of “bridge.” We give this story for what it is worth, but in our own Enting Ants For Dessert.
