" VOLUME 4 NUMBER 177. ‘PARTY HAD NO RIFLES, S0 THE DEER ESCAPED Fleet-Footed Animals Rejoiced at the Discomfiture of Men Qut for Partridges. W. F, McKenzie, W. S. Lycan and William Munch of Crooks- ton, returned last evening from their brief trip to Nebish, whither they went in company with F. S. Lycan in quest of some partridge sh‘ooting. They got a few birds, but were un- lucky in not striking the proper place where they are numerous. They saw two deer, but were not prepared with the proper weapons to take advantage of the opportunity offered to get some venison. Mr. Munch, who isa warden for the state game and fish com- mission, will go to the home of Dr. Dunlop, near the village of Turtle River, in company with the doctor and Alexander Thompson of Crookston, and en- joy a few days’ outing and shoot- ing.

The year has the bountiful northwest there is peace and plenty. Poverty, through press of circumstances, will always exist, but the great mass of our people, provided as they are with employment that yields a fair return for the labor performed, are prosperous almosi to the point of affluence. their better natures have not been lulled That into forgétfulness of the higher things by the outpourings of the horn of plenty is signiticant of the new dispensation. On the contrary, the nation has experienced an awakening of the public conscience that has penetrated to our farthest borders and quickened the entire body politic. Recognizing our blessings and remembering too that our own fair state of Minne- solfa has been notably free from any public calamity expressed in fire or flood, famine or pestilence, or other cataclysm of nature, itis not only our privilege but our duty to give thanks to our Heavenly Father, the giver of all good things and the father of all our mercies.

A peculiar light giving animal found in southern Californian waters is the heteropod. The heteropodsy dazzling white and almost shapeless, can often be seen floating on the clear water. Their bodles are almost transparent, and they have in addition to a long tail a powerful sucker, by which they cling to seaweed. When these crea- tures are irritated they seem to emit a light from all over the body, though one writer describes one In which the light—red In this case—seemed to radi- On all sides we see the | ate from the center of the animal.

Rainy River Region: Thomas Shevylin, the millionaire lumber- man of Minneapolis, was here last week to look after his ex- tensive interects here. It is re- ported that not later than in the early part of next year, the Kelli- | her branch of the Minnesota & International will b2 extended to this towe. This part of the M. & 1. railroad was built by the! Shevlin companies and they will no doubt need it up this way. The distance to build is about fifty-tive miles. Rummage Sale. The Ladies’ Aid of the Presby- t rian church will hold its annual rummags sale, beginning next This seems at first sight absurd on the face of it, but It Is quite easily explalned. The hills of the island are of soft, cdl- careous rock, full of fissures, and suck up water like Immense sponges. In consequence the pools in their subter- ranean caverns are always lower than the surrounding sea, so to restore the balance these little brooks, fed by the waves, are always descending inland. The curlous yet natural result of the constant evaporation of the sea water 1s that glgantic masses of salt crystals are constantly forming In the caves.— Strand Magazine. Straw Rope Swings. Korea is perhaps the oldest country In the world, and the customs and ac- tions that go to make up the daily life of the penple are not at all governed by the logic or tradition which moves us on our enlightened way. They have no clearly regulated sports, nothing ap- parently that could be likened to a national game. They pass most of thelr recreation hours swinging in straw rope swings and seem entirely: I happy in the sport. The straw rope, if well made, is extremely durable and can stand considerable weight, as may be judged when three. ablebodied young men impose their welght upon the swing, standing on the shoulders of one another after the manner of Toursday and lasting Friday and | acrobats. It may be very fine pastime, Saturday. November 15, 16 and 17 are the dat:s. The ladies will call at the homes to collect old articles of apparel tomorrow and Wadnesday, and all who are will- ing to contribute are asked to but the average American, it Is safe to say, would find In It very little appeal.

ROE @ MARKUSEN Home Paper, a Friend. The local paper should be found in every home. No child- ren should grow up ignorant who can be taught to appreciate the home paper. It is said to be the stepping stone of intelli- gence in all those matters not to be found in books. Give your children a foreigr paper which contains nota word about any person place or thing, which they saw or perhaps ever heard of, how could you expect them to b: interested. But let them have the home paper and read of people whom they meet and of places of which they are familiar and soon an interest is awakened which increases with every ar- rival of the local paper. Thus a babit of readinzg is formed and {those. children will . read the i papers all their lives and become intelligent men and women, a credit to their ancestors, strong in knowledge of the world as it is today.—Roseau Advertiser. Roosevelt Tangle Settled. Rainy River Region: The own- ers of the Roosevelt townsite have now secured a deed from the government. All the real estate there is now secure to purchasers. The way things were- at one time tangled up in that Roosevelt townsite was something ‘desperate. There were claims, counter claims and contests galore, but the govern- ment- bunched it and put - it through a sifter. The Beauchamp Funeral. The funeral of Docity Beau- champ of Funkley was held in this city yesterday, and was participated " in by a number of the friends of the Beauchamp family. Beauchamp, who was 58 years of age, died at the Be- i midji hgspital. The deceased }laaveg ve children, two of whom, i Fred Beauchamp and Mrs. Tay- lor, reside in Bemi e Mg Little Economies, “I once made up my mind,” sald a London man, “that I would ‘become the possessor of a good gold watch. 1 i saved up the money for It In this way: When I. felt like eating a shilling luncheon, as I often did, I kept it down to tenpence. I put the twopence saved toward my watch fund. You will hardly belleve me, but with little economies like this T had in less than six .months' saved enough to buy my gold watch.” “But,” sald a’ listener, “where Is your gold watch? You are wearing a poor little gun metal thing.” “Well,” was the reply, “when I found how easily I could get along without shilling: luncheons I concluded I could get along with a ten shilling watch in- stead of a ten pound one. So that the ‘watch fund grew until it purchased for | me my own, house.”+-London Mail. SN e £ Duststorms That Bury Forests. Travelers In Tibet describe the won- derful storms of dust that occur in Kashgarin, near the foot of the Kuen- Lun mountains. The dust in the air Is sometimes so dense that complete dark- mess prevails. Occasionally rain fals during such a storm, but the raindrops evaporate during their descent, and the dust carrled with them falls in lumps, Entire forests of poplar trees are buried in dust hillocks forty feet high. These deposits of dust are afterward moved on by the wind, but the trees that have been burled die, even after their dis- Interment, G TWO LOGAL BALL PLAYERS TO JOIN NORTHERN LEAGUE Frank Summers and ‘‘Red” Hazen Will Play With Duluth Next Season, That the members of the Be- midji baseball team of 1906 were about as fast as any in the semi- professional ranks of the state was contended by many Bemidji .lon the hom® igrounds :of people, who claimed that the team, had it 'been organized earhier in the season and given more chances to play games, would have beaten everything at leastin the north half of the state. Asiit. was, Bemidji was the onlyAeam that defeated the invincible Hibbing aggregation, and the feat was accomplished the range .€hampigns. The record made By the team, however, was second only to Hibbing. That the ability ef at least two of the players 'is recognized by outsiders is evidenced by the fol- lowing letter which was received here from Duluth today: “No doubt the baseball fans and friends of KFrank Summers of last year’s Bemidji team will be pleased to’learn that he has been re-instated by the- National Baseball Commission from the blacklist on which'he was placed for jumping bis 1906 contract with the Duluth team. :Several Duluth fans, including myself, bhad an interview with Manager Kuehnow of the Duluth team on behalf of. young Summers, and using our influence, had him. re- instated. Heis a local boy, and we were greatly interested in his playing. If he behaves him- self, and can control his fiery temper, e will, no doubt, become a valuable ball player. Mansger Kuehnow, to show his confidence in the youth, has signed him for next'séason; at an. advance in salary over last year. I also have my eyes on young Hazen, thehard hitting outfielder of the Bemidji team, and he will in all probability be given a try- out with the Duluth team in the spring, as he has been strongly recommended to me by Summers as a sure fielder and a good bats- man. ‘I saw both of these boys play ball in Bemidji several times this season. I am’hired by the team to look up promising young ma- terial for the Northern league, and have been keeping watch on the Bemidji team for the past three years. I have seenseveral of the players advance into fast company. “Bemidji is - to. be congratu- lated on its showing in develop- ing players.” J.A. McDermott. The “‘Banker’s Child” Tonight. The show to be played at the opera house tonight is said by those who have seen it before to be oune of the best that has ap- peared“in this city this season. “The Bartker’s Child" is the title. The story is thrilling, and com- bines the 'best elements of comedy and pathos. One of the features of the play which will bé of interest is the work of the the twolittle children. Oane five year-old child plays an emotional part, ard- has learned sixty-eight pages of type-written matter; while a' second child of 6 years has learned a seventy- four page comedy part. These youngsters are certainly youth: ful prodigies. Cordwood Wanted.

The exhibits made at Blackduck and Northome have been care- fully preserved, and yesterday the Northome products passed- through Bemidji on the way to St. Paul. It is understood that the Blackduck exbibit will follow in a very fow days.
