SUBSCRIPTION---§5.00 PER ANNUM About the meanest kind of a man is one that will put lard on your shoes when he sees you go- ing down hill. Tuesday eight inches of snow fell at Aitkin, and the merchant could be seen Wednesday morn- ing shoveling this off his side- walk., Which goes to show that the Bemidji merchant has no kick coming. A Washington scientist, who prides himself on being able to make whiskey without a worm, 15 not serving mankind as he should. What he should do is to make something that will elimn- ate snakes. We wonder if the people who are always cursing Rockelfeller know why they doso. John’s life policy has been to buy where he could buy the cheapest and sell where he could make the most profit. It 1s a mean policy, a selfish one and a harmfal one to humanity, but why should you condemn John for what you are trying to do on a small scale? The man who passes up she local merchants because he thinks he can buy cheaper in Chicago, is simply adopting the policy of John, while aiding to build up a mail order monopoly as big and cruel as the one John has built.—Big Fork :Compass. No use talking, nothing that has happened in Minnesota since it was a state, seems to give the people the real satisfaction that the reduction of passenger rates to two cents a mile has. The traveling public are as pleased over it as they would be with a windfall. Hear them comparing notes,and all sorts of calculations are made of what a saving re- sults, and the things it will allow them to buy, or how more often they can travel. I shall be fully disappointed if the two cent rate does not increase travel to the extent of the railroads getting more for passenger tariff in the long run than they did at the old rate.-—Anoka Union. Noblcs_t Birth By Honore Willsie Copyright, 1906, by C. H. Sutcliffe Haryell 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 Bwept 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- Iy he stirred restlessly and said half aloud: “No. It's no use. I can’tdo it. Shels too fine and thoroughbred for a great, common born chap like me to marry. “MARGARET!” HE ORIED, 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. I'll stay until tomorrow and then plead business aind 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 bot tonight.” Harvell caught his breath. It was she. The volce that replied he recog- nized as that of his marrled 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, and 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 Joint the Westburys and go to Paris. The stage goes down at 9 and I am going to catch it and sfeal off withvut a word to any one. Please, Agnes.” The perspiration started to Haryell’s face as he stralned his ears to catch Agnes’ reply. When it came he gasped: “Sometimes I think brother Paul is & fool!” _— Margaret’s voice was stern. “Agnes, I wish you would never mention Paul Harvell'’s name to me. I"— But her volce was growlng too falnt for the man in the canoe 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’— JSuddenly 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 pler 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 whitlpool. To swim was out of the question, for in the river here was a 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 lne of heavy planks on the projecting rocks from shore to shore. They wery yet fastened in any way, their ——e ’lieavy welght serving to balance them fairly ‘well on the stones. The darlk 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 awith spray, on a neighboring rock. With infinite toil he raised himself out of the water inch by inch until at last be crouched on the great stone and felt the teetering plank. - 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 planky. 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, no# again on the plankway, gaining toward his goal foot by foot. At last one final spring, and he felt again the solid earth be- neath him. Without thought of his dripping clothing he started on. his half mile run through the woods to the bungalow. “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 with the great edge of the summer moon peering over the tor 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 quietly 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 on, “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 volce. “No, but isn't that true?” persisted Harvell. The mosn 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.” B Harvell drew a long breath. “Mar- garet,” he said, “will you marry me? ‘Will you say yes, Margaret?” “Not until I 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 | Need It Ask your doctor about the wisdom of your Y keeping Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral in the house, ou a ready for colds, coughs, croup, bronchitis.

The head of the oriental saber will not ad- mit the English hand nor the bracelet of the Kaflir warrior the English arm.

The statements made by Ho- mer, Aristotle and Vitruvius represent six feet as a high standard for full grown men, and the Irrefutable evi- dence of the anclent doorways, bed- steads and tombs proves the average size of the race certainly not to have diminished in modern days.—London Hospltal. Great Musician’s Eccentricities. Dolls were the idols, after his be- loved instruments, of Domenico Dra- gonettl, the king of the double bass. He had a huge collection of these pup- pets dressed in various national cos- “tumes, and wherever Dragonetti went the dolls were sure to go. That was only one of this eccentric genius’ pecul- iarities. He would never play unless his dog were in the orchestra, and no- | £ body would have got a note out of him unless he had been permitted to sit in the orchestra next to the stage door. This was a precaution to enable him to save his wonderful instrument in case of fire. The instrument itself he brought from the monastery of St. Pietro when on a visit to Vincenza, and when he died he bequedthed it to St. WORSE FROM YEAR TO YEAR The cause of Rheumatism is an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought gish condition of the entire system. The refuse and waste matter of the body is not carried out as nature intends, but is Téft to ferment and sour and generate uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood. The first evidence of Rheumatism is usually little wandering pains in the muscles and joints, or a tender, sensitive place on the flesh. These are often so slight that nothing' is thoughtof them and they pass away; but with each recurrence the trouble ‘becomes more severe, and from slight wandering pains and excited nerves, Rheumatism grows to be a painful and almost constant trouble. The longer the poison remains in the blood the firmer hold the trouble gets on the sys- tem. Each day the-acid deposit is increasing and the disease grows worse from year to year. After awhile the joints become coated with a corrosive substance which seriously interferes with their working and movements and sometimes they become permanently stiff and useless. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by going down into the blood and attacking the disease at its head. It neutralizes the poisons and acidsand dissolves the salts and irritating deposits, making the [ ] [ ] @ Dblood stream pure, fresh andbhealfihy. S.8. g is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, an PURELY VEGETABLE is therefore a safe remedy. When the blood has been purified by S.S. S., the pains and acheAs‘ pass away, and the cure is permanent. Book on Rheumatism, and medical advice free.
