Take this opportunity to hear the next governor of Minnesota, Mr. Cole, and the junior United States senator from this state, Moses E. Clapp. Those two doughty warriors, The Independent and Herald- Review of Grand Rapids, buried the hatchet long enough a few days ago to combine in the buy- ing out of the third paper in the town, the Magnet, which has always been the weakling of the trio. The Magnet will be dis- continued and the subscription |, list and plant divided between the two purchasers. The move should be appreciated by the Grand Rapids business public. President Roosevelt says Sen- ator Nelson was ‘‘one of the most potent forces in securing the passage of the interstat: commerce law in the excellent shape in which it passed;’ also that he ““was one of the men.... who acted throughout with trans- parent good faith and courage.” It wasn't necessary to secure this endorsement to convince the voters of Minnesota as to the worth of their senior senator; ,|but such knockers as Heatwole and Pease ought to shut up now out of commou decency. VOTING IN THE DARK. How about the proposed amendments to the state consti- tution which the people of Minne sota will be asked to vote upon at the November election? There are three of the amend- ments. The second and third are undoubtedly meritorious and should be passed, but the first, which provides for a changing of the system of levying taxes, is doubtful. : o It may be alright and it may not be; but whether it is or not is a question which the voters of Beltrami county are not in a position to decide. To know whether the proposed change is one of merit or demerit, the voter must read and study the amendmen? carefully. In Beltrami county the chance to do this has not been given the voters. The amendments have not been spread broadcast and placed in the hands of the read- ing public as they should have been and as they have been done in other counties. The reason for this is hidden in the bosom of Secretary of State Hanson. All we know is the result, which is that ninety- nine hundredths of the men of Beltrami county who must pass on the advisableness of the con- stitutional amendments must vote in the dark. The Pioneer’s advice to the voter is: Do not vote for the first amendment. If you do not feel like voting against it, at least do not vote for 1t; leave that portion of your ballot blank. Changing the constitution is always a serious thing, We can- not afford to make any mistakes when we tamper with that vener- able document. We have got along very well under the old constitution, and we might as well let well enough alone; at least until we can act in- telligently. The First Teacups. Even after tea was introduced Inte Europe and had come into general use teacups were scarce. At the same time coffee was introduced, but apart from Constantinople the first coffee cups in Europe date back only as far as 1645 in Venice, 1659 in Paris, 1652 in Lon- don and 1694 in .Leipsic. From the first, however, the conventional orlen- tal coffee cup, without stem or handle, was little used, and in' Germany not at all. The Chinese teacup was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as ell. Specimens’ of porcelain were undoubt- edly introduced Into Europe in the mid- dle ages, yet not till the sixteenth ‘cen- tury were cups imported from .China in any great quantities; and even then it was as ‘articles of vertu. Most of these found their way back to China again, as collecting porcelain.is a last- ing fad there, and high prices are paid for good specimens. The collection of Chinese porcélaln, if only the genul specimens are desired, requirves im mense study and knowledge, as, the ‘Ohinese are skillful imitators and put numerous falsifications on the marke! THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER |- Bir Walter Scott's Mirst Hrief, Sir Walter Scott had his share of the usual curious experiences shortly after being called to the bar, His first ap- pearance as counsel in a criminal court was at Jedburgh assizes in 1793, when he guccessfully defended a veteran poacher. “You're a lucky scoundrel,” Bcott whispered to his client when the verdict was given. “I'm just o' your mind,” returned the latter, “and I'll send you a maukin (. e, a hare) the morn, man." Lockhart, who narrates the incident, omits to add whether the maukin duly reached Scott, but no doubt it dld. On nnother occasion Scott was less successful in his defense of a housebreaker, but the culprit, grateful for his counsel's exertions; gave him, in lleu of the orthodox fee, which he was unable to pay, this piece of advice, to the value of which he (the housebreak- er) could professionally attest: First, never to have a large watchdog out of doors, but to keep a little yelping ter- rler within, and, secondly, to put no trust in nice, clever, gimerack locks, but to pin his faith to a huge old heavy one with a rusty key. Scott long re- membered this incident, and thirty years later, ‘at a judges’ dinner at Jed- , burgh, he recalled it in this impromptu rhyme: Yelping terrier, rusty key, Was Walter Scott's best Jeddart fee. —Westminster Gazette. Wastebasket Treasures. “I have In my employ,” said a dealer In autographs, “a number of celebri- tles’ housemaids. Thanks to these young women, I secure at nominal cost many an autographic gem. All I ask of the malds is that they ship me week- ly the contents of their masters’ waste- baskets. They bale the stuff up in burlap, and every Monday or Tuesday 1t comes to me by freight. I go over It carefully, making many finds. Here will be a begging letter from a famous author in hard luck. Here in a brief note a great actor will boast of his last success. Here will be a dinner invitatlon from a celebrated million- alre. Some celebritles, of course, save their valuable letters, and some sell them, but the majority throw into the ‘wastebasket most of the mail they re- celve, and I, searching the baskets’ contents every Monday morning, find my reward in many a letter worth $10 or $20.” As Seen From a saioun. Bense of danger you have of course | none, for you are so aghast at the dan- gers run by your dear ones below from motors and bicycles and trains and 'gas works and all the other things ter- restrial that all concern for your own safety goes. | And the shocking air they breathe and the horrid little wormlike trains that burrow in and out of dark looking holes—how un- healthy the thole earthly existence seems to you as you glide motionless through the air, with white clouds be- low you stretched out as a sort of sll- | d; ver carpet at your feet and above you nothing but a limitless expanse of deep blue sky!—B: nder. The Bed and the Candidates, Judge Harlan and James B, McCrea- ry once canvasged Kentucky together aa the Republican and Democratic ‘can- didates for governor. They traveled about the state on a joint debating trip and in many small mountain places had to sleep In the same bed. They were warm personal friends and so did not object to this intimacy. One night Mr. Harlan got into bed first. and just as he entered the bed Judge Harlan raised his bulky form and said in his stentorlan voice, ‘“MecCreary, there is one thing certain—the next governor of Kentucky s in this bed.” As he spoke the bed slats broke, and Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Sena- tor McCreary caught and held himself in bed, and, as Judge Harlan reached the floor, said: “John, you are right. The next governor of Kentucky is still in this bed.” The Sea Horse. This fish is found in the Atlantic ocean around the coast of Spain, the | south of France, in the Mediterranean and in the Indian ocean. Sea horses are very small and have been found often curled up in oyster shells. The head is much like that of a horse, and the rings around the body and tall re- semble those of some. caterpillars. The habits of these fishes are singular and interesting. They swim with a waving motion, and frequently wind their tails around the weeds and rushes. They have fins to sustain them in the water, and even in the ailr. They live on ‘worms, fishes, eggs and substances found in the bottom of the sea. 4 — e — A Cawutious Doctor. “Doctor, something Is the matter with me.
