Scrutchin went to Blackduck last evening on a busi- ness mission. Deputy Sheriff John Bailey went to Shooks Spur last evening to look after some personal business mat- ters, E. E. McDonald went to North- ome last evening to look after some legal matters in which he is interested. . Regular meeting of Bemidji Lodge, K.of P. this evening, at Castle Hall, Masonic block. Business of importance. The Swedish Ladies’ Aid will meet at the home of Mrs: Elmer Alton tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon at 2 o’clock. Everyone cordially in- vited. Otto Peterson, the buyer for the L. K. Deal Lumber company of DesMoines, Iowa, left yesterday afterncon on a business trip to Nebish. The Baptist Ladies’ Aid will meet at the home of Mrs, Knox, Irving Ave., Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 29th. Visitors cordially invited to be present. Dr. Ward went to Northome last evening on a professional trip. The doctor has a brother residing at Northome, who is also a physician and surgeon. Mrs. A. Hagberg left last even- 'inz for Northome, to visit at the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ed. Feldman, who is sericusly ill with typhoid fever. The Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid society will be entertained at the home of Mrs. Gracie Thursday after- noon, at 2 p. m., all the ladies are cordially invited, Dainty people with delicate tastes will find that the most delicious viands can be produced always with Hunt’s Perfect Baking Powder and Extracts. A. B. Clair of Grand Rapids came down this morning from North- ome, where he has been looking after some matters for the Crooks- ton Lumber company. The Ladies’ Aid society of the Norwegian Lutheran church will meet at the home of Mrs. Ole Ander- son, Lake Boulevard 915, Thursday at 2 p. m, Jan. 20th. Visitors invited. The weather this morning was rather “crimpy,” the thermometer hoverning in the vicinity of 20 degrees below zero, at an early hour. However, this is just what the loggers desire, and there is conse- quent pleasure among the timber cutters, F. F. Ross of Duluth, the senior member of the firm of Ross & Ross, who have extensive logging interests along the north line of the M. & I railway, came in yesterday afternoon from his home at Dulyth. Mr. Ross continues to improve from his recent illness, and is again assum- ing robustful proportions. G. E. Crocker went to Kelliher last evening for the purpose of visiting the camps of the Grand Forks Lumber company, for. which concern he is the general manager. Mr. Crocker is wearing a satisfied smile these days, the weather which we are enjoying being just the kind that makes the heart of a logger glad. Orin Noble, who is engaged in mercantile business at Keiliher, came down from his home this morning and spent today in the city looking after some business of a personal nature. Mr. Noble is doing very well at Kelliher, although the fire loss which he suffered, some months ago, was something of a handicap. A. H. Harris, the hustling repre- sentative for the Melges Bros. com- pany, left last evening to “make” points along the north line of the M. & I railway. And, by the way the Melges Bros., by their square dealings and uniform courtesy to customers, are making hosts of friends who are doing business with the popular commission firm. W. H. Strachan, superintendent of the M. & L railway, came up last evening frem his headquarters at Brainerd. He occupied the private car ““50,” which was set out here, and remained in the city over night, Mr. Strachan had nothing to give out as to whether his com- pany is taking heed of the univer- =sal request for a night train on the M. & I. to connect with the N. P. to the twin cities. The Continued Story of Curront Events. and Miss Miss Dora Hazen Kolbert went to Walker this morning for a visit with friends. John C. Parker, of the Donald Land & Lumber company, went to Northome last evening on a business trip. A. T. Hatcher came down this morning from Northome, where he is interested in some logging opera- tions. Charles Emerson of Duluth was among the out-of-town visitors who spent last night at the Markham hotel. Oscar Minor is in the city from Hibbing, where he now resides, and will visit here with old friends for a few days. The Ladies’ Guild of the Presby- terian church will meet at the home of Mrs. A. J. Abercrombie, 514 Min- nesota avenue, Thursday afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock. T. J. Nary, the general manager for the Pillsbury Logging company of Minneapolis, came in last evening from his home at Park Rapids and spent last night in this city. Allan Benner, who is in the em- ploy of the Bemidji Lumber com- pany, went to Northome last even- ing, after having visited in the city over Sunday with his family. J. Peterson, Jr., is confined to his home, where he is ‘“fighting it out” with an aggravated attack of lagrippe. He expects to be able to be out and at his place of business in a few days. The Norwegian Lutheran Ladies’ Aid society held its annual business meeting January 9th, when the fol- lowing officers were elected: Mrs. Anton Erickson, Pres.; Mrs. K. K. Roe, Vice Pres.; Mrs. C. Markusen, secretary; Mrs. George Anderson, treasurer. The financial report showed cash on hand, $70.92. C. L. Lasher, owner of the Bijou moving-picture show, left this morning for Albert Lea, where he still has some interests. Mr. Lasher recently disposed of the show business which he owned at Albert Lea, and his present visit to that city is for the purpose of closing all matters in connection with the sale. Stutzman and Crawford enter- tained a crowded house at the Brinkman Family Theatre last even- ing. Manager Brinkman certainly exercises good judgment in the selection of his vaudeville acts, se- curing nothing but the best, which merits the best patronege of our city. The film service also is the best ever produced and together with the excellent vaudeville stuntsare mak- ing Mr. Brinkman and his Family Theatre yery popular in the north country. An Insidious Danger. One of the worst features ot kid- ney trouble is that it is an insid- ious disease and before the victim realizes his danger he may have a fatai malady. Take Foley’s Kid- ney Cure at the first sigh of trouble as it corrects irregularities and prevents Bright's disease and dia- betes. E. A, Barker. The Lord and the Burglar. Lord Iverdale had just finished his after dinner speech and the guests had applauded when the butler rushed for- ward and announced to his lordship that there was a burglar in the house. “A burglar! Confound his impu- dence! Where is he?” “We don’t exactly know, your lord- ship. One of the maids, hearing a nolse in the library, looked in and Baw a man at the safe. If your lord- skip will ailow me, Pll put Jarvis in my place here and take charge of the search.” “Very good, Haskins. Go by all means. Wait a moment—here 18 the key of my desk. Take the revolver you will find in the right hand top drawer; you may need it. As soon as I can get away without alarming the ladles I'll join you.”—Munsey’s. Fun In Space. I dreamed last night that I was pres- ent at a committee meeting of the sun, earth, moon and stars. “I'm no coward,” sald the earth. “No, but you have twe great fears,” #aid the sun hotly. “And those are?” “The hemispheres.” “You’ve forgotten the atmosphere,” put in the moon. And the comet, who had no business to be there, wagged his tail with joy. How to Avoid Pneumonia. ~ You can avoid pneumonia and other serious results from a cold by taking Foley’s Aoney and Tar. It stops the cough and expels the cold from the system as it is mildly laxative. Refuse any but the gen- uine in the yellow package. E- | state seldom refuse fish of any kind, A. Barker. . Simple Remedy for La Grippe. La grippe coughs are dangerous as they frequently develop into pneumonia. Foley’s Honey and Tar not only stops the cough but heals and strengthens the lungs sv that no serious results need be feared. The genuine Foley’s Honey and T'ar con- tains no harmful drugs and isina yellow package. Refuse substitutes. E. A. Barker. Pt e O Writets' Cramp. Writers’ cramp is a serious watter to peopie whose work requires that they use a pen very much,” while for the unaccustomed writer who takes an afternoon off now and then to catch up with her correspondence it is, to say the least, very discouraging. The trou- ble is more than musecular in this kind of cramp. Very often a low, nervous condition will cause it. Then one should take it as a warning that the systein is run down and needs general toning up. Very often, however, the trouble is all in the way you hold your pen. Children now in school are not like- 1y to be troubled with writers’ cramp. because they are taught to hold the pen lightly and make all the move- ments from the arm instead of the hand. The old fashioned method which most of us learned of holding the pen between the thumb and fore- finger is also very likely to encourage a cramp. The muscles become tense and hard, until finally they contract so much that all control over them is lost. The pen should be held between the first two fingers, well up toward the joint. The trouble may often be relieved by putting the hand and wrist into the hottest water one can stand. —Boston Herald. Tenderness of the Hanging Judge. Mr. Justice Hawkins’ tenderness for ‘women prisoners was well known. He admitted it, and he had a great dislike of sentencing these poor creatures to death who had been recommended to mercy and would probably be repriev- ed. On one such occasion the sheriff asked if he was not going to put on the black cap, “No,” he answered, “I am not, I do not intend the poor creature to be hanged, and I am not going to frighten her to death.” Addressing her by name, he said; “Don’t pay any attention to what I am going to read. No harm will be done to you. I am sure you did not know in your great trouble and sorrow ‘what you were doing, and I will take care to represent your case so that nothing will harm you in the way of punishment.” He then mumbled over the words of the sentence of death so that the poor creature did not hear them.—London Graphic. _— " Lobster Fare. Hungry lobsters in . their natural whether dead or alive. The favorite bait with fishermen is fresh or stale herring, but even shark meat is used at a pinch. Lobsters also eat small crabs, sea urchins and mussels. In- deed, there are few forms of marine life suitable for food which they re- fuse. Lobsters sometimes capture fish alive, striking them with the smaller of their two great claws, which for this reason fishermen call the “quick” or “fish” claw, but they will live for a long time, especially when confined ‘without taking any food. If you tether the lobster by the large claws, you will find that, like the muskrat, he will go off some fine morning, leaving only his legs in the trap, for this animal has the remarkable power of “shooting a claw,” or amputating its limbs, and, what is still more wonderful, of grow- ing new ones from the stumps left be- hind.—8t, Nicholas, The Microscope. There is good reason to believe that the magnifying power of transparent media with convex surfaces was very early known. A convex lens of rock crystal was found by Layard among the ruins of the palace of Nimrud. And it is pretty certain that after the invention of glass hollow spheres blown of that material were commonly used as magnifiers. The perfection of gem cutting shown in ancient gems; especially in those of very minute size, "could not have been attained without the use of such alds to the eye, and there can be little doubt that the artificers who could execute those ‘wonderful works could also shape and polish the magnifiers best suited for their own or others’ use—New York American. . Rifled Firearms. "In the South Kensington museum are -several wheel lock muskets with rifled barrels made during the reign of Charles L., if not -earlier. Such barrels were then usually called “screwed.” Zachary Grey in a note on “Hudibras,” part 1, canto 3, line 533, says that Prince Rupert showed his skill as a marksman by hitting twice in succes- slon the vane on St. Mary’s Stafford at sixty yards with a “screwed” pistol.— London Notes and Queries, The Forests. A true forest is not merely a store- house full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or to plant new ones, you are acting the part of good citizens.—Roosevelt. Reputation and Character. Lawyer (examining jury)—Do you understand the difference between character and reputation? Juror—Rep- utation is the name your neighbors give you; character is the one they take from you.—Judge. Strategy. “How did pa act when you asked him for my hand?” “Very gentle and courteous. took me by surprise.” “I told him you used to be a pugll- ist.”—Houston Post. It quite Too Late, : Muriel-Why. didn’t you marry him? Everybody says he has reformed. Maud—Yes, but he reformed too late. His money was all gone.—New Orleans | stage manager. Spoiled the Encore, The nobility and gentry of Little Plowboro were recently gathered in the village schoolroom to enjoy- some tableaux vivants by local performers, says Pearson’s Weekly. The curtain had just fallen on a really creditable picture of the death of Nelson, shown to slow musie, when one man, who was known to be a friend of the gentleman representing the greatest naval hero, rose and tried to make his way toward the stage. “Keep your seats, please,” sald the “We're much - obliged for your kind applause, ladies and gen- tlemen, and we're going to glve you the death of Nelson over again.” “Oh, are yer?” came from the hero’s friend. “Then if you’ll tell Nelson 'is kitchen chimney’s afire p'raps ’e won’t die 80 blessed lingerin'.” He Settled It. An amusing story Is told at Strat- ford-on-Avon. In the smoking room of a hotel there an Englishman and. a Scotchman engaged in a heated argu- ment. John Bull was declaring Wil- Ham Shakespeare to be the only poet of the world, and Donald McPherson was standing up for his Robert Burns. Words ran high and blows seemed Imminent when a self confident little commercial traveler determined to throw ofl on the troubled waters. “Gentlemen,” he said, stepping be- tween the heated disputants, “let me settle this amicably. ~ Who is this Shakespeare-Burns?’ — London Tele- graph. Crowded Out. “I am thirty-five years old,” an- nounced a woman of fifty-six at a tea last week. “And I am twenty-six,” said the wo- man of forty-five. Then, turning to a girl of seventeen who stood near by, she asked, “How old are you, Ethel?” “Oh,” replied Ethel, “according’ to present reckoning, I'm not born yet!” “The Smallpox Devil.” The natives of the west coast of Su- matra object to being vaceinated. They still make offerings to the smallpox devil. The heart and lver of fowls and buffaloes are mixed with yellow rice and other ingredients, placed in the model of a full rigged ship, carried In procession and finally launched into the sea.—Singapore Free Press. Proof. Skrappy—When I married you I had no idea you were such a fool. Mrs. Skrappy—The very fact of my con- senting to be your wife should have re- moved any doubts you had on that point.—Illustrated Bits, Apprentice Examination. Preliminaries for membership in the Ananias club: “You may not believe t, but;” “Now, leaving all joking aside;” “Serfously now;” “It may Beem strange, but.”—Chicago Post. With a Little Help, “Your customs are enough to make any civilized man bofl!” exclaimed the missionary indignantly. “With the help of a little dry wood,” assented the cannibals gravely.—Puck, The average amount of rainfall be- low the equator is twenty-six inches, while north of the line it is thirty- seven and one-half inches.
