Arrangements have been made to have thefamous “Kilties” Band of Canada to be in Bemidji on Monday, October 7th. The “Kilties” have a world wide reputation, baving’toured over 300,- 000 miles in Canada, United States, Mexico and Europe. While in Europe they were twice before King Edward the VII, by royal command. " The “Kilties,”besides being one of the greatest concert bands in the world, has special features with them; such as their celebrated male choir of sixteen trained voices, bagipipes, Scottish dances and eminent soloists. While at the world’s fair in St. Louis all their concerts were given in a great festival hall, where extra admission was charged. Manager Snow is to be congratulated in securing such a great organization. In order that the school children and out-of-town people may have an opportunity to hear this famous organization, a special matinee will be given at 4 o’clock. The evening concert will begin at 8:15. The “Kilties”are on their fifteenth tour, which will take them to the Pacific coast, and on returning they will make a tour to Mexico. The manager of the “Kilties” was in the clty the first of the week. He says, “The Grand opera house is a grand plgce for music. ‘Remember the “Kilties” Band at the Grand opera house Monday even- ing, October 7th,” Taxes Due this Month.

His Throat to a Conductor, Som.e thme ago~n man at Ypsilantt, Mich,, beeame crazed on the subject of hypnotism and was sent on a Mich- Igan Central traln to an asylum. Whea the conductor asked for tickets the crazy mau notle powe “PIl hypnotlze yon,” he sald, “Kire away,” replied the conductor. The man made several passes before the conductor's face. “Now you are hypnotized,” he said. The conductor looked the part as best e could. “You're a conductor,” the hypnotist said. “That's right,” replied his victim. “You're a good conductor,” went on the hypnotist. “Right agaln,” said the conductor. “You don't smoke, drink or swear at passengers. You are honest. You turn in all tickets and money you collect from passengers. In fact, you do not steal a cent.” “That's right,” ductor. The hypnotist eyed him a mament, then said: “What an awtul fix you'd be in if 1 left you in this condition!"—Kansas City Star. i telling of his hyp- assented the con- Beer For Breakfast. Sixteenth century children in Eng- land ate very different food from that consumed by modern American young- sters. The following dletary is taken from the Northumberland Household Book, showing the nursery breakfasts at the beginning of the sixteenth cen- tury: “This is the Ordre of Bralkfastis for the Nurcy for my Lady Margaret and Maister Ingeram Percy every day in the week In Lent: Item, a Manchet [a small loaf of white bread], a Quarte of Bere, a Dysch of Butter, a Pece of Saltfisch, a Dysch of Sproitts or iij ‘White Herring, Braikfastis of Flesch dayly thorowte the Yere; Item, a Manchet, a Quarte of Bere and iij Muton Bonys boiled. On Fyshedays throw-owte the Yere: Item, a Manchet, a Quarte Bere, a Dysch of Butter, a pece of Saltfische or a Dysch of But- ter'd Eggs.” Milk seems to have been an unknown beverage, but the beer of those days was very different from the modern article and much more harm- less. Couldn’t Stick Him Again. A bishop, accosted in Fifth avenue, New York, by a neat but hungry stran- ger, took the needy one to a hotel and shared a gorgeous dinner with him, vet, having left his episcopal wallet in the pocket of a different episcopal jack- et, suddenly faced the embarrassment of not possessing the wherewithal to pony up. “Never mind,” exclaimed his guest; “I have enjoyed dining with you, and I shall be charmed to shoulder the cost. Permit me.” Whereupon the stranger paid for two. This worried the prelate, who insisted, “Just let me call a cab and we’ll run up to my hotel, { where I shall have the pleasure of re- imbursing you.” But the stranger met the suggestion with, “See here, old man, you've stuck me for a bully good dinner, but hanged if I'm going to let you stick me for car fare!” Mistakes of Drug Clerks. “There is one loss sustained by drug. gists that very few people know about,” said the experienced clerk. “That is in the prescriptions that have to be made over, the same as clerks, stenographers, writers and artists, no matter how painstaking, frequently have to do-their work over. The most careful drug clerk in existence is bound to make mistakes sometimes in measuring and mixing, “He may pour in too much of some kind of liquid or sift in too much of a certain powder. In most cases the overdose would not really affect the value of the medicine, but the consci- entious clerk isn’t. going to take any chances of murdering anybody, so le throws away the whole mixture and makes up another prescription.” “Try One of My Betels.” In Siam they don’t offer you a cigar or a cigarette, but a betel nut. There every one carries a supply of them in a mneat little ivory box, not unlike the snuffboxes of our ancestors. The betel nut 18 a narcotle, In Its effects not un- like tobacco, but it is much more harm- ful. Those who chew it suffer from inflamed gums, and they generally lose their teeth. The Dbetel is a species of climbing plant, with a leaf not unlike ivy. It yields a crop of nuts, which are ground to a powder. This Is mixed with a similar powder derived from the areca nut and made into a paste, which 1s wrapped in pieces of betel leaf. AMERICAN HEIRESS ELOPES Parents Maklnq Every Effort to Lo- cate Her Whereabouts. New York, Oct. 7.—Every mile of the North Atlantic as far as the wire- less waves will reach is being searched for trace of Samuel Clark son, a young Eng'ishman, and his bride, who was Miss Helen Maloney, the daughter of Martin Maloney, the millionalre oil man. The young couple have not.been seen since they came to New York on a shopping tour from the summer home of the bride’s par- ents at Spring Lake, N. J., several days ago. home that night the young woman sent a message in which she informed her parents that she had secretly married the man she loved and that when the message reached Spring Lake they “would be on the water.” Instantly the search for the young woman, who is said to be one of the richest helresses in the world, was begun. Wireless messages have been sent to all the outgoing steamers, cable messages have gone to London and telegrams have been dispatched to all points in America where it is thought the young couple may have gone. The father and mother, however, are of the opinion that the elopers have salled for Europe and they are in great suspense pending the arrival of definite tidings from them, when they will be asked to return at once and spend their honeymoon at the Spring Lake mansion.
