THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLIRHED RVERY AFTERNOON, “~ OFFICIAL PAPER---CITY OF BEMID) BEMID)I PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By A. KAISER. Entered In the postofiice at Bemidji. Minn., a8 second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM A soil that can raise fifty bushels of oats t) the acre is not so bad. Beltrami county land is doing it. What has become of the old campaign poetry and songs that used to make us want to break loose and hurt somebody? Bryan has expressed his pleasure at the nomination of Hearst for governor by the democrats of New York. He probably figures he will be de. feated and done for, once for all DON'T HURT THE SQUIRRELS. Mayor Carter has asked the Pioneer to speak a word in be- half of the squirrels in the park. Some of the small boys, he says, are in the habit of anndying and sometimes actually killing the little animals, and he fears that they will either be exter minated or frightened to other parts of the woods. At present there are a large number of red and gray squirrels making their home in the park and romping around through the trees, and if they are left free from molestation they will breed and fill the public grounds with a colony of cheerful, chattering little fellows of their kind. Surely nothing adds so much to a park where children and women, and men for that matter, spend their leisure hours, as these nimble, scampering animals. An appeal is made to the boys, and the men (if there are any who would molest them) to leave them alone, BELTRAMI GRAIN. People living in other parts of the state, especially in the lower part, naturally think of Beltrami county as a wilderness of trees and swamps out of which nothing good cap come. To these who doubt because they have never been tiught, the letter from Professor Thomas Cooper of the state agricultural school relative to the grains grown in this county will be instructive. Professor Cooper was here last week and was a judge in the seed growing contest held in this city. He was deeply im- pressed with the exhibits, and when he left t)ok along a few samples of wheat, corn and oats, showing them to grain exports in the twin cities. - He now writes that these experts have pronounced the samples of wheat the best they have seen in the state this year. That Beltrami ccunty could grow such fine grains was a sur- prise to the experts, just as the most excellent exhibits of grains and vegetables which the ' twin city and Duluth joobers -have seen on their trip through the northern counties, has been a surprise to them. Those who have lived and worked in this county have long known that there was no better soil or climate for grain and grasses and vegetables to be found anywhere in Minnesota, and it is most gratifying that the fact is be- ginning to be realized in other parts of the state, The Porcupine’s Quills, The spines are very loosely attached to the porcupline, and they are very sharp—as sharp as a needle ut the outer end. At almost the slightest touch they penetrate the nose of a dog or. the clothing or flesh of a person touching the porcupine and stick there, coming away from the animal without any pull being required. The facility In catching hold with one end and let- ting go ‘with the other has sometimes caused people to think that the spines bad been thrown at them. The outer end of the spines, for zome distance down, s covered with small barbs ‘These barbs cause a spine once Imbed- ded In a living animal to keep working farther in with every movement of the muscles, so that it is not a pleasant thing to get stuck full of them. In the Dark. Parks—How did the ship come to bang agalnst the rocks? Barks—Why, a young man was court ing the keeper's daughter and they absentmindedly turned the light down low. A Difterent Complexion, Maud—Did you say I paiuted? Ma- rle—I did not. I sald you powdered. Maud (reluctantly)—Oh, well, that puts l-nmn complexion on it. The Meuning of “Bridme.” The story goes that years agy, long before bridge was known in London clubs, two families who played the game under tho name of “Russian whist” were living in melghboring houses at or near Great Dalby In Leicestershire. The only road of com- munication lay over a somewhat dan¢ gerous bridge. It was a frequent oc- currence for the departing guests to say to thelr 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 1s worth, but in our own mind we have little doubt that the modern name of “bridge” Is merely 8 very easy corruption of the old title of “biritch.” The two words “biritch” and “bridge” have absolutely the same sound when spoken quickly, so that it is easy to imagine how the change came to pass--London Saturday Re: view. Tropleal Skies. To northern eyes the intemse bril- Uancy of the tropical and semitropical eky comes as a revelatidh. Sometimes at noon it is painfully dazzling, but the evening is a vision of prismatic light holding carnival in the air, whereln Milton’s “twilight gray” has ro part. Unless the sky Is held in the relentless grip of a winter storm the orlent holds no gray in its evening tones; these are translucent and glowing from the set- ting of the sun until the stars appear. In Greece we are dreamers In that sub- tle atmosphere, and in Egypt vision- arles under the spell of an ethereal loveliness where the filigree patterning of white dome and minaret and inter- lacing palm and feathery pepper tree leaves little wonder in the mind that the ornamentation of their architecture I8 so ravishing in Its tracery.—Cen- A Tane or a Joke, “Was that a bonafide piece that Bthelinda was playing?” asked Mr. Cumrox. “Certalnly,” answered his wi ‘was a selection from Wagner.” “Well, of course I wouldn’t express any doubts in company, but half the time I can’t tell whether Ethelinda is playing a tune or a practical joke.”— Washington Star.

Ibsen on Friendship, Friends are a costly luxury, and when one Invests one's capital In a mission in life one cannot afford to bhave friends. The expensiveness of friendship does not lle In what one does for one’s friends, but in what one, out of regard for them, leaves undone. This means the crushing of many an intellectual germ.—From a Letter to George Brandes. * Just Like Him, Arthur—You think I don’t love you, darling? Why, I would die for you. Arethusa—Yes, and It would be just llke you to do it so that your funeral would come on a day when I had to glve up a real nice engagement to at- tend it. Oh, you men are so selfish! Sad. First Baby—You look sad. Becond Baby—I am. I feel keenly the responsibility of having parents who cannot afford to have me.—Smart Set. Leather Breeches. A hundred and fifty years ago the farm hands and house servants of England were clothed in leather. A good pair of leather breeches was said to pass from father to son as an helr- loom. Then a boy went to school as ‘well protected as an armored cruiser. The author of “Didisburye in the 45" offers some observations upon these articles of common wear: The test of a good pair was to try If they would stand upright of themselves when no- body was in them. If they would do 80 they were ‘good, strong stuff and lkely to last for many years. My father remembered a prentice lad com- Ing to his father, whose fond mother had provided him with such a pair, and they were the means of a “vast of fun” in a game that is unknown in these days—that is, for the boys to set the breeches upright and then jump nto them without touchlog them with the hands. It was probably a pair of such leather breeches that the Windsor boy was wearing when George IIL asked him if he did not know that the man before him was the king. “Yes,” said the boy.| “Then why dom’t you go on your knees, and you might kiss the king’s band,” said the king. “Because I'd svoll Where the Money | Batchellor—That’s a good cigar you'rs smoking. Popley—Yes, that’s a fine ten- center you gave me. Batchellor—I gave you? I guess not. Popley—Oh, yes, I'm sure It was your money pald for it. The only money I found In our baby’s bank this morning was the dime you put In yesterday.—Catholic Btandard and Times. AEEATT T A, The One Rule. At a club where card playing was prohibited four members smuggled in a pack and, calling the waiter aside, asked him if he had ever known the rule broken. His reply was, “All the years I have been here I have known every rule broken except one— that of giving of tips.” The game pro- ceeded. —_— Her Plea For Delay. “Will you be my wife, Jane?” *“Will you ask me again, John?” . “Why?" “Because I'd like to look round & lit- t1e before I give you the direct answer.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Couple of Bulls.

To begin with, If not so stodgily accurate, al- though that by no manner of means follows, they are more fluent in mod- ern languages. They chatter in them, say the male things. Ergo, they are the more colloquial, the readier to cir- cumvent the wiles and extortions of kellner or of garcon.—London Gentle- ‘woman., “She got the A Good Dog. “What kind of a dog is that?” asked the inquisitive man. “I dunno jes’ what kind of a dog he Is,” answered Mr. Erastus Pinkley, “but he's got good stock in ’im. Dat dog is so many kinds of dog dat dar’s got to be good dog somewhere.”— Washington Star. The Truth, A teacher in explaining the different kinds of sentences to her class, asked: what it would be if she said, “I am looking for a man.” “I don’t know,” said the boy at the foot of the class, “but I think it would be the truth.”—Lucerne Standard. Looking Backward, Do you ever look back over your ears and think how many times you have made a fool of yourself? We do.— Mancos Times-Tribune. Wanted All That Was In It Father (whose wife has presented bhim with twins) —Tommy, you may stay home from school today and to- morrow tell the teacher that you have two new brothers. Tommy—Wouldn’t it be better to say that I have only one new brother? Then I cau stay home a day next week for the other one.— Fliegende Blatter. Health Crazes. The pursuit of health, like the mor- phia habit or drunkenness, grows on people till it really becomes a vice. Continuous thought and anxiety about one’s health Is exiremely had for the constitution and undermines it quicker than port wine.—London Queen, The N The nose Is intended for preathing, the mouth for speaking and eating. ‘Who has ever seen a horse breathing otherwise than through his nostrils? Minute scientific Investigation has re- vealed the fact that the number of peo- ple who breathe through their nostrils are becoming gradually but surely few- er in number. The consequence s that the nostrils decrease in size, while it has been found that the prevailing nose is quite an inferior organ to that of our forefathers. It is a well known phys- lologlical fact that unused muscles and bones gradually disappear. Fish who ltve In the dark, for instance, or the mole, who resides underground, be come blind. Thus if we cease to use our noses for breathing they will cease |} to exist. They will become superflu ous!—Pearson’s Weel The Scented Court. “The scented court” was the name by which the court of Louis XV. was known throughout Europe, on account of the rage for perfumes which ther prevailed in France. The expenditure of Mme. de Pompadour for this one branch of ler toilet amounted to $100,- 000 annually. It became the fashion for the host or hostess of a great en. tertainment to signalize to their guests what particular perfume was to be employed for scenting their rooms on the night for which the Invitations were issued, and they were expected to use no other, so that the delicate effect of a unity of odors might be produced At court a different perfume was pre sented for each day of the week.
