All this talk of the Great Northern company’s stock being watered was emphatically re- futed by James J. Hill upon his appearance before the house rail- road committee to oppose the Rockne bill. In the course of his examination Mr. Hill said: If anybody says that the Great Northern has a dollar of watered stock he bears false witness. It has issued no bonds, and it never issued stock that did not repre- sent 100 cents on the dollar,” This should be sufficient, when taken into consideration with Mr. Hill’s reputation for veracity, to convince ail right-minded people that the Great Northern Railway company’s stock is not watered.—Princeton Union. His Lenten Sacrifices. My neighbor Brown away last May Took my lawn mower, saying he Would like to use it for a day— And 1t has just occurred to me It's keeping lent. He never brought it back at all; He may have kept 1t through mistake— But when the summer turned to fall He came and borrowed my big rake. That's keeping lent. A hoe of mine two years ago He came and borrowed, then he made ' A little garden with the hoe | And simply had to get my spade— They're keeping lent. | A clothesline and a prop or two, A pound of new ten-penny nals, A hammer that was almost new He borrowed—and his mem'ry falls! They're keeping lent. My good snow shovel’s at his house, A book that I would like to get, A trap he got to catch a mouse He borrowed, and they're borrowed yet— Still keeping lent. T can’t exactly call to mind The lots of things I've lent to Brown, But if you'd ever search his house You'd find stuff from all over town That's keeping lent. Umbrellas. tools and overshoes, Ash sifters, monkey wrenches, stamps, A dollar bill—I won't say whose— Electric bulbs and coal ol lamps— All keeping lent.

H. A. SIMONS, Agent.. Swedback Block, Bemidji. . Bemidji is assured and a few good business "olaims: of divine “I am)nineteen years old and go to parties/a good deal. I want to make myseltipleasant and agreeable, but am o poor- conversationist. Could you suggest some topics of conversation that would take well in mixed com- pany? MABEL.” Yes, Mabel. ‘As soon as you enter the parlor shake your head and exclaim in aloud tone: “Oh, dear! I washed my halr yester- day and can’t/do a thing with it!” That; makes a hit right away and puts every one at ease. This expres- slon can be used whenever conversa- tion lags. Music Is a great help. Ex- press yourself this way: “Well, I don’t know anything about music, but I do know what pleases me.” This will give the idea that you are a musician: To discuss art all you have to do is look at the pictures on the wall and when you see one you like exclaim: “Isn’t that a beaut?” This will divulge your artistic sense. At the supper table reach for the olive dish and say: “There was a time when I couldn’t eat ‘olives, but I can eat a whole bot- tle of them now.” Then take five in one grab, and peo- ple will like you for saying what you mean. With these few hints you'll find conversation comparatively easy. —Detroit Free Press. Sugar- In Coffee. The average amount of sugar used in coffee Is a study which has become so much of a fascination to a young man who frequents restaurants pretty constantly that he has taken to going to different places for each meal in order to enlarge the sphere of his ob- servations among different classes of people, says the Philadelphia Record. “Poor people, as a rule,” he says, “use more sugar than rich people, and it's also a pretty constant rule that men drink sweeter coffee than women and that old men have the sweetest tooth of all when it comes to coffee. It is noticeable, too, that drinkers of after dinner coffee make it very much sweet- er than that which they take in the morning. I know a middle aged man who takes just two lumps to a cup in the morning, which s below the aver- age, but Into the little cup he takes after dinner he puts six full sized lumps. This makes a sort of sirup of the drink, which, I suppose, takes the place of after dinner bonbons.” Trained Too Well. In Baltimore the rule of the frans- portation companies Is that children over the age of five years must pay full fare, those under that age being carried free. One afternoon not long ago there were among the passengers on a Charles street car a woman and her son, the latter a big boy of apparently seven years, but who was held in his mother’s lap as if he were a baby. Presently the lad grew restive. “Mommer, mommer,” he murmured, “say, mommer!” The mother, with a premonition of impending danger, tried to sllence the youngster, but to no avail, for he con- tinued to call upon his “mommer.” Flnally the woman asked, “Well, ‘what Is it, son?” “Mommer, when do I say I'm only five?” asked the Iirrepressible—New York Times. Blind Pupils. An artist in Parls had much diffi- culty in getting his pupils to make use of the extremely “impressionistic” ideas of art. One evening at a large dinner party he asked an elderly gen- tleman next to him, who was very shortsighted, how the gentleman at the foot of the table appeared to him. “Well,” replied the nearsighted one, “I see a very white spot, which I take to be his shirt front, and a flesh col- ored spot, which I know to be his face.” “Ah,” exclaimed the artist enthusias- tically, “how I wish my pupils could see things as you do!”—Searchlight. Feeling Heat and Cold. The principal reasons that we feel objects that are cold when brought in contact with the skin quicker than those that are warm is that the skin, beilng a very poor conductor of heat, absorbs heat slowly from an object of a higher temperature than itself, while other objects which are cooler and which in nearly every instance are better conductors of heat than the skin absorb heat readily from the skin, and hence a sensation of cold is felt at once. The Marsh Wren’s Sagacity. Birds often bave more sagacity than is generally accredited them. The long billed marsh wren, which builds a sub- stantial nest of rush leaves, swinging in the tall rushes of a marsh, invaria- bly makes several nests, but only uses one. This is undoubtedly for the pur- pose of misleading its enemies. The nest used is always the best hidden, while those not used—the decoy nests —may be easily found by those who seek them, Bad Penmanship. Mr. Youngwed—This dessert is—par- don me—perfectly dreadful. Mrs. | Youngwed—I'm sorry, dear, but the fact is the recipe was given me by a friend, and her handwriting is simply atroclous.—Fliegende Blatter. A False Alarm. Dechard’s tailor (forcing his way into the house)—Sir, I want my money. Dechard—You relleve me. I thought it was mine you were after.—Pele- Mele. There s no greater misfortune than not being able to bear misfortune.— Latin Proverb. Hebrews and the Sabbath. ‘There Is not, and there never was in- tended to be, any such feeling of Purl- tanism or of Calvinism with regard to our day of rest as there is connected with the Lord’s day of our nelghbors. The Jewish Sabbath was to be a de light, and we read that in the mediaeval ghetto dancing, among other recrea- tions, was common on that day. There s nothing contrary to the spirit of | Judaism in the playing of games or In- dulgence- in any- form of light recrea- tion -on Saturday so long as it is com- bined with ‘a due regard for the sacred ‘worship.— Jewish World, SAYS RHEUMATISM IS EASILY GURED NOW It Is a Symptom of Inactive Kidneys and Easily Overcome With the Following Prescription. Recent hospital reports show that the dread disease, rheuma- tism, is steadily increasing throughout the country. All known means of relief are being suggested to save the great amount of suffering this winter, especially among those who are not in a position to pack up and visit the noted health resorts to be treated. Recent tests prove rheumatism not exactly a disease in itself, but a severe symptom of kidney trouble, a condition caused by clogged up pores of the eliminative tissues in the kidneys which fail to filter the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood, permitting these substances to remain in the veins and decompose, usually settling about the joints and muscles, causing the intense pain, swelling and stiffness of rheumatism, There are numerous remedies known which many persons be- lieve will relieve this suffering— salicilate of soda, colchicum, potash, etc.—but these drugs are terribly hard on the stomach, often ruining this most im- portant organ, and they fail as often as they relieve, A well-known specialist, who has probably treated more cases, of rheumatism than anyone else, and who is also the most success- ful, gives the following simple vegetable treatment, which is harmless and inexpensive, and so simple that anybody can mix it at home, The ingredients are: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Componnd Syrup Sarsa- parilla, three ounces. Go toany good perscription pharmacy and get these three vegetable in- gredients and mix them by shaking in‘a bottle, taking as a dose a teaspoonful after each mea} and again at bedtime. There is\nothing better in the world for backache, kidney and bladder trouble, too. Such symptoms as frequent and pain- ful urination, soreness, weak- ness, general and nervous de- bility are caused by certain acids and poisonous waste matter, de- | cayed tissue, etc., in the blnod, which the kidneys will clear and purify after a few doses of this prescription. ¥ trect Lars in oraz “There are and second class a tourist, describ- Aerican travels, “and ge in my arms, had tak- s bond, as a street car is called ro.

A person without a necktie is no mor allowed first class on the street cars than was I with my parcel. They are decidedly particular in Brazil and in- herit many fastidious ways from the time of the empire, when dress and manners were the mark separating the aristocracy from the working classes.” en a firs Forgiveness. Nothing is more moving to man than the spectacle of reconciliation. Our weaknesses are thus indemnified and are not too costly, being the price we pay for the hour of forgiveness, and the archangel, who has never felt an- ger, has reason to envy the man who subdues it. When thou forgivest, the man who has plerced thy beart stands to thee in the relation of the sea worm that perforates the shell of the mussel, which straightway closes the wound with a pearl.—Jean Paul Richter. Ears of Animals. The ears of tigers, foxes, wolves, cats and other beasts of prey bend for- ward, while the ears of animals of flight, such as hares, rabbits, deer, etc., bend backward. This is because the ears of beasts of prey are designed for the purpose of collecting sounds in the direction taken by the animal in pur- suit of its prey. The ears of an ani- mal of flight, by turning backward, en- able it to hear the sounds made by a pursuer, Fire Apparatus. Jamie Soutar loved to poke the fire and invariably ended by putting it out, greatly to his wife's disgust. While at supper one evening the fire alarm rang, and Jamie, seizing his cap, was hastening out when his wife ran to the door and called after him, “Hadna you better tak' the poker wie you, Jamie?'—Short Stories. It was Oliver Wendell Holmes who 8aid most truthfully, ““The human race Is divided Into two classes—those who 8o ahead and do something and those who sit and inquire why it wasn’t done tha ather wav.” Napoleon and the Letter M. arboeuf was the first to recognize the genius of Napoleon at the Hcole Militaire. Marengo was the greatest battle gained by Bonaparte, and Melas opened to him the way to Italy. Mor- tier was one of his first generals, Mo- reau betrayed him, and Murat was the first martyr to Lis cause, Maria Louise partook of his highest destinies, Mos- cow was the abyss In which he was en- gulfed, Metternich conguered him on the field of diplomacy.

Murat, duic of Lis.nu, was the ecounselor in whom he placed the great- est confidence. His first great battle was that of Montenotte; his last was that of Mount St. Jean. He gained the battles of Moscow, Montmirail and Montereau. Then came the assault of Montmartre. Milan was the first ene- mies’ capital and Moscow the last in which he entered. He lost Egypt through the blunders of Menoa and employed Miollis to make Pius Vill. prisoner. Malet conspired against him; afterward Marmont. His ministers were Maret, Montalivet and Mollien. His first chamberlain was Montesquieu, his last sojourn Malmaison. He gave himself up to Captain Maitland, He had for his companion at St. Helena Montholon and for valet Marchand.
