By A. KAISER. AR AN Entered in the postofice at Bemidjt. Minn., s second class matter. B B SUBSCRIPTION---§5.00 PER ANNUM CLERICAL POVERTY. From practically every re- ligious denomination, all over the country, the cry is going up that there are not enough recruits for the ministry to satisfy the de- mand, with the result that many small churches have to be al- most abandoned, and the plea is made for more young men to enter that profession, says the St. Paul Dispatch. At the same time, the average pay now being offered to clergymen is about $600 a year, and every minister is recommended to acquire a wife to share part of the labors of his position, and he is ex. pected to support her and him- self on that stipend. The scarcity of ministers is not at all surprising. Add to this con- dition the fact that every de- nomination has on its hands a large and increasing number of men really superannuated, who eagerly seek any vacancy that occurs, and the situation is not alluring to those already in clerical orders or who con- template entering the profession. It might be expected that the reduction of the supply would increase the demand and in- directly raise the pay, but nothing of the sort has occurred. The young licentiate;can look for little better than a chance to supply three pulpits on the same day, being obliged to travel some thirty miles in all kinds of weather and over all sorts of roads, for the recompense above mentioned. To be sure, he has the advantage of half fare on the railroads and adiscount from the usual price of merchandise, but that is only a palliative of the real hardship of his situation. fi'fie of the cloth is authority for the statement that the pre- vailing prosperity has not been shared by the church, and has The people are making more !bardly arrested the decline in | receipts for church purposes. money, whether in business as i principals or as employes, but the desire to “keep up the pace’ { with their neighbors, in soeial pleasure and outward show, has fully used up the increase in worldly wealth., What caa the poor preacher do, with the church receiptsin many cases actually falling off and his own revenue declining, as a necessary consequence? And, at the same time, a generally higher scale of prices and per- haps a little of the worldly desire to live as do his equals, accent- tuate the difficulty. His lot is not a pleasant one, if he is one of the great average in his pro fession, and he is certainly en- titled to the sympathy of fellow mortals. Perhaps some of them will help him study his case with a view to its betterment. NOT SO WITH BEMIDJL. Harken now to the ‘‘storm of protest,” the ‘wail of discon- tent,’and the ‘‘righteous demand of the people” that will issue from Cass Lake, Thief River Falls, and some few others. For the senate committee on normal schools has laid over the Gunn bill providing for a normal school at Cass Lake, without even a hint iof recommendation, and has treated in the same manner the Hanson measure calling for the establishment of a normal school on the Great Northern between Duluth and East Grand Forks— ‘‘between Dan and Beersheba,” as an exchange puts it—and it looks doubtful whether the school will be created atall by this legislature. This is a shame, as it would have been interesting had the Hanson bill gcne through, to note the way the ultimate de- termination of the site would be accepted by the claimants that lost out.—Crookston Times. If Bemidji loses out in this normal school proposition, the Times can rest assured there will be no ‘storm of protest,” ebc., from this city. We are good losers, and are willing at all times to have the claims of this city left to any impartial body of men; and, futhermore, we have no fear of the result of such action.

CENATE MEASURE WOULD RE- STRICT IMPORTATION OF STRIKE BREAKERS St. Paul, March 2.—The house put In a working day. When the morning session opened J. A. Dalzell of Mor- ton moved that all business be dis- pensed with and that the house go at once to general orders. The speaker Insisted that some of the matters be- fore the house be disposed of, and Dalzell withdrew his request, but at noon the house took a recess until 2 p. m., and in the afternoon the house In committee of the whole, with M. Walz of Perham in the chair, recom- mended forty bills for passage. The house passed H. F. No. 278 by Higging, a memorial to congress for constitutional convention to propose smendment for election of senators by direct vote of the people. Provisions for testing the sight and hearing of pupils of the schools of the state are made in a bill introduced in the house by B. H. Timberlake of Min- neapolls. It provides that the state board of health shall provide test cards, blanks, record books and other Instruments for testing the sight and hearing, and that these shall be sent with proper instructions to the super- Intendents, principals and teachers of the gchools. They shall make exami- hations of all the pupils and notify the parents of any defects the pupil may have and also make a written report to the state board of health. Three bills for the regulation of sleeping car transportation were in- troduced in the house by J. A. Dalzell 8 Morton. Prohiblts Giving of Tips. One of them prohibits the giving of any tips or gratuities by passengers on any railroad train or electric rail- way to any employe of the road. Vio- lation of this provision is made a mis- demeanor. Another bill provides that the rate oharged for upper berths on sleeping cars shall not exceed 75 per cent of the price charged for lower berths. The third bill requires the sleeping car companies to furnish a safe whbere valuables of passengers may be stored Strike breaking, both by force or arms and by the importation of work- men not advised of the existence of the strike, is prohibited by a bill in- troduced by Senator Ray G. Farring- ton of O-tonville. The bill provides that it shall be unlawful to induce workmen to change ftrom one place to another in the state or to bring them into the state to work in any department of labor through false or deceptive representa- tions, false advertising or false pre- tenses concerning the kind of work or the sanitary or other conditions of employment or as to the existence o & strike, lockout or other trouble pend- Ing between employer and employe. A fine of not to exceed $2,000 or impris- onment not to exceed one year is fixed As the punishment for a violation of this section. A bill to make {nsurance companies Issuing employers’ liability policies directly liable to employes covered by the policy and providing that settle- ments of claims for damages for in- juries between the employed and the employers shall not release the compa- nies from liability under the insur- ance, are provisions of a bill intro- duced Dby Senator Albert Shaller of Hastings. Appointment of Inspectors. The appointment of city and village, Inspectors of gas, electric light, heat and water meters is provided for in a bill introduced by Senator T. E. Cash- man of Owatonna. Senator F. E. Du Toit of Chaska in- troduced a bill changing the require- ments for signatures to petitions to county commissioners for the con- struction of drainage ditches. The present law requires such petitions to be signed by six or more of the land- owners whose lands will be liable to be affected by or assessed for the con- struction of the ditch. Senator Du Toit’s bill provides that the petition shall be signed by at least 25 per cent of such owners. The receipt of a number of requests from Duluth jobbers for an adjourn- ment of the hearing on the distance tariff bills before the senate railroad committee led a sharp tilt between Senator J. F. Calhoun of Minneapolis and Senator T. . Cashman of Owa- tonna on the question of postponing the hearing. Senator Calhoun, after the requests had been read, moved that the hear- Ing be postponed for one week at the request of the Duluth people, and Sen- ator Cashman objected. After a heated argument the hearing was ad- fourned to next Friday. The values of the state’s mineral properties were considered by the joint committee appointed to investi- gate the state’s rights in pine and mineral lands. The testimony given was Intended to show that the state is receiving too little for its ore when it gets 25 cents per ton. The opinion was expressed also that if the freight rates were lower there would be more inducement for independent miners to explore and mine and the state could get better rates for its iron ore. Millers’ Best Custon.ers. The forty odd million sacks of flour consumed yearly in the United King- dom are mainly eaten In the form of bread. In the houses of the rich and In the best hotels bread Is sparingly eaten, but among the middle classes and In workmen’s homes it forms a considerable portion of the diet. As the latter class predominate and as their families are the most numerous, it 1s not improbable that the children under sixteen consume about three- fifths of the total flour sold in the United Kingdom. In a commerclal sense, therefore, the children are the millers’ best friends.—London Milling. Mousoud By HOWARD FIELDING Cupyright, 196, by Charles W. Hooke T had been a bad Saturday for Bllly Allenwood. Somebody hadn’t come downtown that day. Some body else, a bookkeeping creature for the other, had no authority to ad- vance money on uncompleted serial ptorles. Billy made the rounds, but there was no money anywhere, and ‘when he went to take Dorothy Vincent to dinner he had only $3 in his pocket. Dorothy was ‘an orphan and an heir- ess. She received a check on the first of every month, but, though there are few characters so strong as not to be affected by security and regularity of Income, Dorothy remained a good bo- hemian and as reckless with money as you could wish your dearest friend to be. She reveled in rich and dainty fabrics, which she transformed by her own art and labor into the most be- 4vitching garments. On this particular evening she wore a tenderly exquisite creation in a gray tone, and carried a little gray purse which contained her all, the sum of 85 cents. This purse ‘was intrusted to Billy's care. A strange subject of discussion oc- cupied them at dinner and on the way to Dorothy’s house. Billy had an op- portunity to join with two other men in starting a magazine, of which Le was to be editor, but they stipulated that he should contribute $1,600 to the capltal. Impossibility is not defined in any dictlonary so adequately as by that statement. Billy could not have raised 1,600 cranberries at a dollar a bushel, but Dorothy could raise dollars, and she insisted that she should be per mitted to disturb her meager patri- mony to the extent required and ber come a partner in the enterprise. She would lend the money to Bllly and go shares with him. To him, however, her little fortune was the only redeeming feature of a world otherwise ill ordered beyond the power of language to de scribe. He knew what miseries she thus escaped—few men knew better than Bllly—and he would sooner have disturbed the law of gravitation which holds us to the world than have dis- lodged the anchor of Dorothy’s safety He was telling her so_in very elo quent language as they strolled along when they were suddenly aware of a flurry in the throng and the quick gathering of a crowd. A man had fallen from the platform of a crowded car and now sat on the curbstone, dazed and bleeding. It seemed that there had been an attempt to pick his pocket and that the thief, detected, had pushed his intended victim to the street. As usual, the car had gone on, leaving only the most contradictory rumors in its wake. The man was under middle age and of a very prosperous appearance, a gentleman evidently, for he showed himself superior to his mishap, even though it had bereft him of a good share of his consclousness. Before any one had raised a hand to help him he got upon his feet with a certain dig- nity, though the dullness of his eyes showed that his wits were whirling. He found a cardease in his pocket, after somnambulous fumbling; gave a card to a cabman, and when the door SAT ON THE CURBSIONE, DAZED AND BLEEDING. of the vehicle had been opened got in unassisted. Cabby mounted to the box and drove away. It was only a few blocks from that £pot to Dorothy’s house. At the door she said, “You have my purse, Billy.” But, alas, he hadn't it. “Never mind,” said she cheerily. “There was next to nothing in it. Good night.” Bllly said “Good night” and walked down the street. “I must have dropped it where that fellow was hurt,” said he to himself, and the recollection that the purse was gray, the tint of asphalt paving, gave him absurd encouragement. So he re- turned to the scene of the accident, praying for a miracle, but he did not find the purse. Instead, he found a sealed envelope, set up against the curb as If by design and most excel- lently placed to avoid observation. There was nothing .either printed or written upon the envelope except this: %M Billy held it as almost a certainty that this was a note which had been raneq, and in the course of the week Billy put the note away in a drawer of his writing table and forgot it. Far more pressing matters claimed his at- tention. Dorothy was called to her home in the west, and a harrowing fear tormented Billy that, despite the positive commands that he had laid upon her, she had gone to get money for the magazine. Meanwhile the scheme boiled. One afternoon, following a confer- ence upon the all important topic, Billy returned to his home so crazed with enthusiasm that, happening to find the lean. old serying maid dusting his room, he began to deliver an oration to her on the subject of magazine pub- lication. His eloquence produced an unexpected effect, for the woman bé- came wildly excited and finally fell to the floor In a sort of fit. Then Billy ran for the landlady, with whose as- sistance he carrled the hysierical servant to her room. Returning to his own place after this unusual exercise he sat down to refect upon the strange happenings that had recently varied the monotony of his ex- Istence and was presently confronted by onme that overtopped the others— topped ev- "7~ b+ -ld remember to have : i3k of dreamland. There was upon the desk a paper- welght of painted porcelain, a Christ- mas present from Dorothy and very dear to his heart. Protruding from beneath it he now beheld something green, and this green substance proved to be four bank notes, each of the de- nomination of $500. “Dear, dear little girl,” he said aloud, and the tears rushed Into Lis eyes. This was not money any more, it was her love, and he laid down his head on these poor counters in the pretty game of trade and kissed them. Presently he arose, put the money into his safest pocket and strode away to Dorothy’s house, where he was in- formed that Miss Vincent had not yet returned to town. Billy knew better. He perceived a trick and instantly formulated one of his own. He tele- graphed to Dorothy in the west (though be knew she wasn’t there) as follows: I can’t take it, Dorothy, but you're the greatest girl in the world. In the early evening came this reply: You must. But how did you find out about it? DOROTHY. * To which he responded: I have the money and will hold it for you. I cannot use it as you wish. At 1 o'clock in the morning the door- bell clanged, and Billy received this telegram: Impossible. DIid not mall check till to- day. Can't understand what you mean. DOROTHY. Billy had not money enough to con- tinue this correspondence by wire with- out breaking one of the $500 bills, so he wrote a long letter which he mailed about daybreak, and by the last de- livery that afternoon he received Dor- othy’s letter, full of subtle persuasion and inclosing her check for $1,500. Three days later came Dorothy herself, and in the thrilling conversation which ensued she denied in the most explicit manner all knowledge of the larger sum. It will be remembered that Louis X1, of France had many solemn forms of adjuration, only one of which he held to be binding, and he would never tell which of them it was. Few men have been so clever as Louis, but nearly all women are. Protestation with mental reservation is the natural weapon of the sex. As a student of human nature Billy Allenwood knew this, and, though he held Dorothy to be the flawless pearl of womanhood, he still could not free his mind of the notion that the four big bank notes had once been hers. It was therefore with an in- definable disfavor, a sense of some- thing goue from his own soul, that he at last paid down the $2,000 into the capital of the great scheme. I The $1,600 which was confessedly Dorothy’s was placed in bank, but in the early days, when the scheme seemed surely winning, Billy lost his balance wheel, veered to the delusion that he had foolishly shut Dorothy out from the greatest opportunity of her life and at last permitted her to invest ber money. Then came the later days, the days of disappointment, of ex- penses marvelously swollen and re- ceipts miraculously shrunk. On the blackest of black days, when Billy had left the office merely to get away from it and not because his work was done, he was aware of a re- membered face fn the crowd, and a name leaped into his mind. “I beg your pardon, sir,” said he. “Are you Mr. Mousoud?” *No,” replied the stranger, with a touch of excellent courtesy even in so small a matter. “I happened to be present when you met with an accident two or three months ago,” sald Billy, “and after- ward I found a letter on the spot,” and he described the occurrence. “It was mine,” sald the other, who seemed surprised and even more amused. “May I ask what has be- come of it¥” “I have it at my rooms,” answered Billye “Would you care to come with me and get it?” “If you were on your way there, yes,” said he.
