Big Falls Compass: Prof, Haeck- er of the dairy department of the State University has traveled a little lately, and decides that the dairying possibilities of Northern Minnesota are greater than in th southern half of the state, as here the land is not exhausted by a suc- cession of crops and the grazing quality of the land is better. Twenty years ago Southern Mimnesota was a wheat producing country, with the soil debiliated by a succession of crops and the farmers worn out by a blight of mortgages. The farmers turned their attention to dairying with the result that Southern Minne- sota is burdened with cash, Amusements. Did you ever meet the man that knows it all? Have you ever had to sit and listen to the hot air bleater who from a babe was raised on the bottle of “I’m it.” If you ever have, you remember well the desire that came over you to push him with your foot or other- wise rude to him. Then perhaps he blundered and in his supreme self conceit fell into a trap while the crowd around visibly enjoyed the joke. Dave Gally, an unassuming young fellow,although a clever actor, hadjust such an experience this summer and in this instance the knowing one will probably think twice before he talks again on foreign countries and cities. It happened in the Cadillac hotel on Broadway New York. Gally and his friends were in the lobby having a pleasant chat over the past summer vacations. The wise one butted in and in a loud tone gave every one to understand that he had just re- |turned from a three .months trip over the European continent. He monopolized the whole conversation. It appeared that ha had been every- where, knew everybody and in short was the best travelled man in Amer- MR. DAVID B. GALLY IN “WE ARE KING” ica. Gally said litile, but when the traveller dilated on Germany, the beauties of the Rhine, and the old rathskellers he quietly inquired. “How did you like Kahnsbuag?”’ Not a bit feazed, the Wisenheimer replied. “Great my boy. Finest little town I ever struck. More pretty girls there to the inch than flies in the kitchen here.” “That’s good,”. said the actor, “and do you know you remind me very much of the Kahnburg girls.” “Indeed,” smilled the traveler very much tickled. Then he got the lemon. ““Yes,” said the actor as he turned and walked away “Youboth lived in imagration.” Later Mr. Wiseheimer discovered that David Gally is the star of “We Are King,” the romantic comedy which has its scenes laid in the imaginary principality of Kahnburg, a'name which is but a product of the brain of the author, and has no real existance. All of which goes to show that the wisest of the wise fall. At City Opera, night, Nov. 28.

The poor families of Bemidji will be given a happy Christmas, if the present plans of Bemidii Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E., materialize, and there is no reason why the bunch of bustlers belonging to the local herd should miscarry in their arrange- ments. It is the intention of the antlered brethren of this city to give a | charity ball on the night of Decem- ber 5th, that date being the first anniversary of the instituting of the local lodge of Elks.

The proceeds of the dance will be devoted to securing articles of wear- ing apparel, provisions and supplies tor the poor of the city and surround- ing country, which will be distributed from a large wagon procured by -the Elks for that purpose.
