Not to the baseball fan, not to the frost-bitten birds of spring and not to those who pant for the ficlds, the brooks and the budding trees, should our sym- pathy go out to in these cold and gloomy days. Not theirs the bitterest disappointment. They have but sipped at the acrid cup which has beea dramned to the dregs by the woman who has bought a spring suit and spring hat. There lies the real tragedy of this second winter. 'Twas ever thus since first the world began, woman tells us; she always has peen the great sufferer in the afilictions that overtake humankind. But of all that she has endured in ages past nothing can compare with the anguish that grips her heart when she thinks of that new walking suit and cherry-crowned hat useless now and gathering dugt in the closet. “The beautiful snow?” Bosh! It bas wilted and ruined the multicolored flowers that bloom on her latest bonnet. “Pure lake wind?” Twaddle. It pierce that fetching moire gown and purples the nose of the wearer. So there they lie mute and limp on the upper shelf, fair, frail victims of unseemly weather— the new gown and the new hat. And all the money sunk 1n their purchase—think of the opera and theater tickets, the lunch eons and confections it woula have bought! lmpossible now and out of style so soon! Will not some bard arise and chant in doleful numbers the Tragedy of the Tailor Made?

Itasca Iron News (Bovey): The Bemidji Daily Picneer, that cracking good little sheet, pub- lished in Beltrami county, is covering the trial of Wesley for the Dahl murder, in a manner that reflects great credit both to the Pioneer and Bemidji.

The boys are real newspaper men, and the little daily shows it. The Bookplate. An ex libris, or bookplate, is a small plece of paper whereon is printed the owner's name and pasted on the in- side cover of a book—in other words, it is a printed slip to denote the owner- ship of books, A proper ex libris should have, first of all, the name, boldly and plainly printed, and a space left for the number of volumes contained in the library; then, to make it more in- teresting and personal, some decora- tive device of the owner’s peculiar and individual choice as well as some fa- vorite motto, If desired. In Europe those who have the right use family crests or armorial bearings for their ex libris. Every well regulated library should have some mark of ownership, and the ex libris takes the place of the owner's signature.

Bem Bemidji is assured and a fewfgood business — 0F—— Noblest Birth By Honore Willsie Copyright, 1808, by C. H. Sutcliffe Harvell lay in the bottom of his ca- noe. The canoe was tled a few feet out from the shore, and the river, deep, powerful and mysterious, tugged at the frail little craft. But Harvell did not heed the call. The darkness was deep, yet luminous, with the promise of an early moon, and the night wind that swept from shoreward was sweet and -heavy with the fragrance of blooming rushes. Harvell stared upward to the stars, every sense as keenly alive to the beauty of the scene as if mind and heart had not been given over for days to the problem which he had thrown himself into the canoe to solve. Final- ly he stirred restlessly and sald half aloud: “No. It's no use. I can’t do it. Sheis too fine and thoroughbred for a great, common born chap like me to marry. ““MARGARET!” HE CRIED, And—no, even if she should be will- Ing, which is an insane thought on my part, I've no right to let her sacrifice herself. T'll stay until tomorrow and then plead business and disappear.” There was a little stir near the pier, as of the underbrush, then a woman's voice, wonderfully clear and sweet: “Let’s sit here and wait for the moon to rise. The bungalow is so close and hot tonight.” Harvell caught his breath. It was she. The voice that replied he recog- nized as that of his married sister, who was chaperoning the bungalow party. “You haven't been yourself at all, Mar- garet, during the entire week.” “I know it, Agnes.” The voice, with its tired note, was very touching, aud Harvell stirred restlessly. “I'm use less to myself and every one else— every one else,” she repeated, as If to herself. “Oh, nonsense! Peggy, you are too fine and wholesome to talk so. I wish”— Agnes stopped as if not daring to go on. Margaret’s voice continued: “I want you to help me to steal off tonight, Agnes. I want to go home, and I may Jolnt the Westburys and go to Paris. The stage goes down at 9 and I nm going to catch it and steal off without a word to any one. Please, Agnes.” The perspiration started to Harvell’s face as he strained his ears to catch Agnes’ reply. When it came he gasped: “Sometimes I think brother Paul is a fool!” Margaret’s voice was stern. “Agnes, I wish you would never mention Paul Harvell's name to me. I"— But her voice was growing too faint for the man in the canoce to distinguish her words, strive as he would. “They’ve started back to the bunga- low,” he thought. “I am a cad to have listened even thus much. But, anyhow, I've lived up to the adage. I wonder why I'm a fool”’— Juddenly a realizing sense of Mar- garet's words came to him. She was golng away, going within an hour, and all that he had been feeling for a year was unsaid. For a moment his stern resolve of the early evening was forgotten. Then he sat erect, every muscle tense with stress of feeling. “It's better so,” he said bitterly. “It's my business to begin to forget, if she never wants to hear my name again.” He looked off toward the bank, then gave a startled exclamation. The pier had disappeared. His canoe was float- Ing rapidly down stream, while his paddle was safely locked in the boat- house. “I must be almost on the rapids,” he thought. With the thought the boat turned the bend that had shut off the sound of the falls and the canoe was In the whirlpool. To swim was out of the question, for in the river here was 2 mass of jagged rocks hidden in seeth- Ing water. Almost instantly the canoe was broken and capsized. Harvell, dazed and bruised, clung to a project- Ing rock that had wrecked him. Fight as he would with all the force of his wonderful physique, he was dashed agaln and again upon the stones. Yet as he fought he was conscious of only one thought: “I must get there. I must have just one word with Margaret before she goes.” Then he gave a cry of remembrance. He, with the other men of the camping party, had been planning a footbridge mcross the raplds. The week before with infinite toil they had laid a single line of heavy planks on the projecting rocks from shore to shore. They werp not yet fastened in any way, their heavy welght serving to balance them fairly well on the stones. The dark ness, not yet lighted by the moon, con cealed the planks, but clinging des- perately with one hand Harvell felt about with the other and by rare good luck found a plank, wet and slippery with spray, on a neighboring rock. ‘With infinite toil he raised himself out of the water inch by inch untll at last Be crouched on the great stone and felt BLOOD GETS SOUR. At this time of year, says a well-krown authority, the kidneys become wea k, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of rheumatism, nervecus and stomach troubles, backache ard pain- ful, annoying urinary afflic- tions. It is worth anyone’s time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking wellina bottle and take in teaspoon- ful doses after your meals and at bedtime. This simple home made mixture will force the kid- neys to normal, healthy action, so vhey will tilter and strain all uric acid and pois- onous waste matter from the blood, and expel - this in the urine, at the same time re- storing the ““full blood court ~—that is, 95 per cent red blood corpuscles — which is absolutsly indis- vensable to perfect health. e teetering prang. Then on hands and knees he started for the shore. Blinded by sprays, the planks half turning so that he could only pause, struggling with rigid mus- cles for balance, Harvell crawled along the foot wide planks. And with each pause came new discouragement. Mar- garet would surely be gone. In a panic of haste he slipped and fought his Way, now half in the boiling Water, half on the slimy rocks, not again on the plankway, gaining toward his goal foot by foot. At last one final spring, and he feit again the solid earth be- neath him. Without thought of his dripping clothing lhe started on his half mile run through the woods to the Dbungalow. “If the moon would only come up!” he thought as he tore his way through the heavy underbrush. “If—if only I am not too late! I am going to tell her anyhow, just to prove to her that I am a fool. I suppose— Oh, here is the stage road!” On up the sandy road, his clothes half dry with his rapid pace, then witb the great edge of the summer moon peering ove! the top of the pines, he perceived a dim figure standing by the roadside. The figure shrank back a lit- tle at the sight of the man storming up the road. Harvell passed. “Margaret!” he cried. “Yes,” answered quletly the sweet, clear voice that never failed to thrill him, “Margaret, why do you go?” Margaret, too surprised by his sudden appearance to be startled by his knowl- edge of her movements, made no reply. “Because,” Harvell plunged om, “I annoy you with attention, because I hang on your every word and glance, because I am an ordinary chap with ne ancestors, and you are the personifica- tlon of culture and delicacy—is that it, Margaret?” “You have no right to speak that way, Paul,” said Margaret, in her quiet voice. “No, but isn’t that true?” persisted Harvell. The mo>n was well above the treetops now. By its light be could see the look of pride with which Mar- garet drew herself up. “So you think me a snob? You know me well indeed!” “Know you,” replied Harvell miser- ably—‘no, I know nothing, except that I love you and that I can never hope to marry you.” There was a long pause. The sum- mer night was very fair around them. The girl before him seemed to Harvell a part of the wonder of the night. “You think, then,” said Margaret, “that I am too brainless to admire your fine mind, your splendid physique? Being, you say, well born, I must be a snob.” Harvell drew a long breath. “Mar- garet,” he said, “will you marry me? ‘Will you say yes, Margaret?” “Not until T have told you,” answered the low voice, “that I was born and bred in poverty in the mountains of Tennessee, that I am finely born only as every American is finely born, and I am proud of it.” The sound of stagecoach wheels came up the road, but already the two figures were far up the path that led to the bungalow. Men Are Bigger Now, Until the sixteenth century armor developed in a logical way, its forms were governed by the necessities of war, and changes in it were the re- sult of practical experience and actual experiment on the battlefield. After the sixteenth century it became fan- tastic and meaningless, a gala costume rather than a harness. The greatest captains opposed its use, but the no- bles clung to it as a mark of distine- tlon. After It was made bullet proof it became so enormously heavy that at the end of the sixteenth century it ‘was complained that gentlemen of thir- ty were even at that age deformed by the weight of their armor. In spite of the huge armors of Henry VIIL, of Anthony of Burgundy and of some oth- ers, the average size of the modern man is greater than that of the sol- dler of the middle ages and the re- naissance, If we can judge from the armor preserved in the museums of England and the continent, which are, with few exceptions, small and nar- row, especially the leg and thigh pleces.—London Mail. The Ungainly “Mud Devil” A most curious, ugly and ungainly semi-aquatic creature Is that which is known by the common narme of mud devll or hellbender. The mud devil has neither the spiked tall, the horned head nor the cloven hoofs that are sup- posed to be the distinguishing marks of the evil one, but he s hideous enough to suggest all sorts of horrld dreams and nightmares, and on that aceount has been made more repulstve by the bestowal of his uneuphonjous common name. He 19 not polsonous in any way, has no horns or sting, but is simply a mud devil because he Is re- pulsively ugly. In general appearance his distorted and wart covered body s not exactly unlike that of a glgantic tadpole. His average length Is about elghteen Inches, but occaslonal well fed indlviduals may exceed even two feet from tip to tlp. He has a broad, flat head and a sharp, sawlike fin, running from the middle of the back bo the tall. Dickens and Schoolmasters. Dickens, with something in his dis- Position pecullarly sympathetic toward children, was a bitter foe of any one —relative, teacher or official guardian —who tyrannized over them. A writer in the New York Post points out that he seems to take special delight in ex- posing the misdeeds of mercenary and cold hearted pedagogues. “When one’s notlce,” says the Post, “is first directed to the attention the novelist gave to schools and their methods, it is inter- esting to try to recall the number men- tioned. Six come to mind instantly— Dotheboys Hall, Dr. Blimber’s, David Copperfield’s two schools—Dr. Strong’s ' and Mr. Creakle’s—the Gradgrind school and Bradley Headstone’s in! But even the ! most devoted reader of Dickens is’ ‘Our Mutual Friend.’ amazed upon special investigation to discover the sum total of twenty-eight, There is not a phase of education that he does not touch upon, and wrong methods are revealedgand commented upon in tones so cnusfic and with rea- son so unerring that better conditions were the natural result.” Wooden Anchors. The Basques, a strange race inter- mediate between French and Span- iards, have for all time been great fish- | ermen, and some of their craft. and seagoing gear are totally different from any other known types. Perhaps the most remarkable relic of ‘bygone clvilizations is the primitive wooden | anchor still in use among them and to be seen in the fishing settlements round Blarritz, Guethary or St. Jean de Luz. These wooden anchors are in all prob- ability of the identical type in use among the Phoenicians twenty centu- ries ago. The wooden anchor is rough hewn out of three branches, so fasten- ed to a crossbar, also of wood, as to in- close a great stone of twenty or thirty ¢ pounds weight. Here is a cheap but effectual anchor for comparatively light | boats. It ean be made on the spot, and it entails little loss if, in a sudden squall, it has to be left imbedded in | the rocks. Properties of Gold. Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos- phere either at ordinary temperatures or when the metal is heated. It is also proof against the action of common acids when used singly. Moreover, it confers its properties more or less upon | copper and silver when these metals are alloyed with it. Thus, for ekxample, twelve karat gold will withstand the action of nitric acid and the atmos- phere at ordinary temperature, but some of the copper will be oxidized during annealing. Nine parts of gold may be alloyed with ten parts of plat- inum in an ordinary crucible and fire, but such an alloy will not be uniform. A larger proportion of platinum will free itself from the gold on solidifica- tion, and a homogeneous alloy of the two metals cannot be obtained.—Jewel- ers’ Circular-Weekly. Before the Bar. The terms “admitted to the bar” and “before the bar” are of English origin, The “bar” in question is the barrier or railing which separates the judge and the other officers of the court from the rest of the courtroom. In earlier days the parties to a suit presented themselves before this bar, accompa- nied by their counsel. A lawyer, after keeping the required number of terms at the inns of court and passing a sat- isfactory examination, was then en- titled to appear before the bar on be- half of a client, or, in other words, he was “admitted to the bar.” The Eng- lish word “barrister” suggests the tech- nical meaning of this word.—Scrap Book. Snake Worship. Python worship or the worship of snake gods Is still practiced in parts of the west coast of Africa: In Da- homey and Ashanti there are temples where pythons are kept to receive the adoration of the people. The snakes are not confined to the precincts of the temples. Small holes are left in the inclosing wall, through which they pass and sometimes make themselves very much at home in the houses of the people.- When a stray snake is found word is sent to the temple, the priests come and with many apologies to his snakeship pick him up and car- ry him back home. Cold Blooded Animals. The so called cold blooded animals vary from the warm blooded in the particular that their blood changes temperature in accordance with their surroundings. The temperature of a | fish will be almost exactly the same as that of the water around it, possibly one or two degrees higher. A snake's temperature is higher in summer than in winter, the average being 82 de- grees. A bird’s average temperature is 107. mammals is 101 degrees. Confided In Her.
