H» was born tin the province of Quebec, Can., and moved to the Red River Valley 80 years ago wheu Ciooks ton consisted of a few rough frame and log buildings. He has made his home here since that time ard has won the esteem and respect of the entire cow- monity by his integrity and up- right mode of life. The tract of lard belonging to the Northern Pacific Railway ¢ mpany that parallels the Great Northern right-of-way, and lies between t'e Mississippi river and Amwmerica avenue, will be| cleared of the trees and under- bru-h with which it is covered and placed in a more sightly con- dition, according to plans re- cently promulgated by the N. P, . company. - While M. D. Stoner, city ex- gineer of Bemidji, was in St. Paul last week, he consulted the officials of the N. P. and sug- gested that the land be cleared and cleaned, as it was a detri- ment to the otherwise excellent appearance of the city. Mr. Stoner was assured that the com- pany would at once commence the work of clearing the land and would co-operate with the city oflicials in every manner possible. .

Where the Money Came From. Batchellor—That's a good cigar you're smoking. Popley—Yes, that's a fine ten- center you gave me. Batchellor—TI gave you? I guess not. Popley—Oh, yes, I'm sure it was your money paid for it. The only money I found in our baby’s bank this morning was the dime you put in yesterday.—Catholic | Standard and Times. “Qriented” Orientals. Knowledge of direction seems to be fstinctive with the Burmans, says the author of “A People at School.” They always reckon by the ueedle, not by relative position. They do not say “Turn to the right,”” but “Turn to the west.” If a table in a room has two tumblers on it, one of them will be the east tumbler, the other the west, and the table itself will be not the “table near the window,” but the “table in the ] east of the room.” So they speak of the north or south side of a street or of a tree, not the shady or sunny side. Even in rain or mist they know the direction at once. An English traveler, walking in the Burman forest on a foggy morning to find all trace of the| road wiped out by rain and every ap-| parent means of ascertaining direc- tion gone, was at a loss what to do, but his Burman servants knew at once. “That is north,” they said, point- Ing, “and that is east.

Duluth Evening Herald: “During the last year or two I haye heard a lot about the rapid development of Northeru Minn- esota, but despite this fact I was greatly surprised at the prcg- ress made at the time of a visit 1 made to the Northern district |l last winter,” said C. F. Kane of La Crosse, Wis., at the McKay. “It was mwy first visit in five years to that country, and the way the region had settled up in so short a space of time was quite remarkable. “In 1900 I was clear to the border in the interests of a lumber company, and the ter- ritory I traveled over was about as wild as any I ever saw. I would go twenty-four hours at a stretch sometimes without seeing a white man outside the one I was traveling with, and the Indians were not very plentiful, either, except onthereservations A few settlers’ cabins were to be seen, but scarcely any of them were occupied. The majority were built by city men who vis- jted the land only once in six months. Some were old and abandoned, and all were of the very rudest construction, not much bigger than a dog kennel, it seemed. “Last winter it was different.
