RUTLEDGE Business Manager | Managing Editor Wntered in the postofice at Bemidji. Minn., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM F.W. HUNT FOR DELEGATE-AT-LARGE. While the republicans of the state are casting about for a suitable mr to trot in harness with some very admirable gentleman who have already received “'faverable mention” as delegates-at-large to the republi- can national convention, the Pioneer would offer the name of a gentle- man whom we personally know is in every way qualified for the position. We refer to F. W. Hunt, the presi- dent of Mankato Free Press Com- pany, owners and publishers of the Mankato Daily Free Press. M. Huntis not of the class of gentlemen who get up and holler for somethirg at every opportunity, and who are perpetual candidates for favors. On the contrary, he is a very modest gentleman, and has never asked anything at the hands of the republican party of Minnesota; and he is not now actively canvassing for office of any kind. However, his many friends (and he has them in all parts of the state) desire to see him chosen to represent the g. o. p. at the national convention as a delegate-at-large from Minnesota. His paper (the Free Press) has ever been a staunch supporte: of re- publican principles, and it is due the president of the best daily paper in southern Minnesota that he be given substantial recognition at the hands of the party. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc”] One kind of charity always has a card attached to it. No great man needs a brass band to herald his coming. Occasionally the shoplifter finds it difficult to take things easy. When a wise man gets real angry he goes away back and sits down. Fortunate is the man who never knows when he gets the worst of it. When a man talks of himself he is usually more elequent than interest- ing. Why is it that the average chap- eron thinks it up to her to work overtime? Indiana is “solid for Fairbanks.” Evidently the political waves are freezing in some states. It is announced that the Univer- sity of Chicago campus is to be changed intoa miniature Venice. The learned professors at the school must have discovered a way to mix oil and water. MAJOR EDWARDS DEAD. Prominent in North Dakota Newspa- per and Political Circles. Fargo, N. D., Feb. 1,—Major A. W. Edwards, founder of the Fargo Daily Argus in 1879 and later of the Fargo Forum in 1891, is dead here after a long illness. He was born in Lorain county, O. Up to a few years ago he was a very prominent figure in business and political affairs of this state. He had heen mayor of the city and the last official pesition he held was United States consul at Mon- treal. 8ame Salary as Congressmen. ‘Washington, Feb. '.—A joint reso- lution adopted by the house of repre- sontatives gives to each of the two resident Phillppine commissioners in congress the same salary of $7,500 en- Joyed by members and senators, with an additional $2,000 each in lieu of mileage. Vessels Unable to Unload. Callao, Peru, Feb. 1,—The strike of the dockmen of Callao continues and the port 8 full of vessels waliting to be unloaded. The wharves are crowd- ed with merchandise and zlready there has been a heavy loss to trade and a /general rise in prices. s s R VIEWS BODY OF VICTIM. Son of Judge Hargis Permitted to See Dead Parent. Jucksen, Ky., Feb. 1\—Beech Har gls, who shot and killed his father, Judge James Hargis, was permitted to view the body of his father. He stood some time looking at the face of hia dead parent and then, turning away with suppressed sobs, knelt by the Dody and utiered in intense grief and sorrow the words, “Lord, have merey.” While he was kneeling beside the caskei his mother came into the room and fell by hix side. They remained there for only a short while and then the son turned from the room and with no other word left the home and returned with the guard to jail. He did not attend the fureral. Near by where Hargis was buried are the graves of his three brothers, all of whom died of bullet wounds in- flicted by implacable enemies. DEMONSTRATION IN DUMA. Recent Visitor to United States Ob- Ject of Attank. St. Petersburg, Feb. * ).—The demon- strations which took place in the duma against Professor Paul Milukoff, lead: er of the Constitutional Democrats, arising from ths ill feeling created here by his recent lecture in New York on the political situation in Rus: sia. engrosses the attention of the en- tire press of this city, which unites in deploring an incident which tends to fan partisan enmity and endanger the | chances of the duma’s success. The occurrences probably will be followed up by a formal resolution censuring Professor Milukoff for lack of patriot ism and unparliamentary conduct in visiting a foreign country to stir up a sentiment of hostility while occupying & responsible position in parliament. The Spanish Royal Standard. The Spanish royal standard is most complicated. The red and yellow of the Spanish flag is said to be derived from this occurrence: In 1378 Charles the Bold dipped his fingers in the blood of Geoffrey, count of Barcelona, and drew them down the count’s golden shield in token of his appreciation of the latter’s bravery. The shield, so marked, became the arms of Barce lona, which became part of Aragon, and its arms were taken by that king- dom. Now to the royal standard: In the first quarter or upper left hand part of the flag are the arms of Leon and Castlle, the lion and the castle. The second quarter is taken up one- half by the arms of Aragon, one-half by the arms of Sicily. The upper third of the third quarter—directly under the first—shows the Austrian colors. The lower two-thirds is divided be- tween the flag of Burgundy and the black lion of Flanders. The upper third of the fourth quarter shows the checkers, another Burgundian device, while the lower two-thirds is shared by the red eagle of Antwerp and the golden lion of Brabant, and on the top of all this are two shields, one showing the Portuguese arms, the other the French fleur-de-lis. Considerable of a flag that. Good Cause For Tears. A certain mediaeval sultan had all the mirrors removed from his palace, so that he might avold the pain of see- Ing his own face. This sultan called on his grand vizier one day and by ac- cident happened to catch sight of his reflection. His hideousness overpow- ered him, and he broke into violent sobbing. In this” outburst the vizier joined. Finally the sultan calmed down, wiped his eyes and got ready to smoke and talk. But not so the vizier. He sobbed on and on. His master, tap- ping his slipper impatiently on the cushions, waited for him to cease. At Jength the sultan got angry and ex- claimed: “Why do you weep longer than I, vizier?” “Alas,” the grand vizier replied, “you wept, O commander of the faithful, because you saw your face but for an instant, but I see it all day and every day.” A Dubious Compliment. “It looks well, but [ am afraid it is dubious,” said a financier, speaking of a proposed scheme. “Yes, it is dubious. It reminds me of the Turkish pasha and his wife. “A Turkish pasha lay dying. He summoned to him the youngest and fairest of his forty-six wives and said to her In a low, weak voice: “‘Put on your richest costume, your most brilliant jewels. Deck your hair with pearls and brighten your finger tips with henna.’ “The young wife blushed. her grief she was flattered. “‘And why, my lord,’ she said, ‘do you desire me to make this sumptuous tollet? “‘So that death when it comes,’ the man replied, ‘seeing you so beautiful, may perhaps carry you off instead of me, " Even in Motion of the Sun. Owing to the revolution of the earth the sun seems to make its daily cir- cuit around us, which of course is not the case. But the sun is revolving about its center quite as truly as the earth Is. It was one of the conceptions of that most remarkable man, Sir John Herschel, that the whole solar system bad a motion in space and was ad- vancing toward a point in the heavens near the star Hercules. Sir John’s con- ception—as bold an idea as ever en- tered the human mind—is now gener- ally accepted by astronomers, and the opinion is quite universal among them that the entire system-ls tracing out a curvilinear path in space, a course around some mighty center, probably at Hercules. Good Enough to Charge For. When Willlam H. Scott was man- aging clerk in the early sixties for the firm of Cleveland & Titus, a client came in and wanted an opinion right away. No member of the firm was in. Accordingly, Mr. Scott, with some hesi- tation, wrote the opinion. When his principal, Mr. Cleveland, came in, he explained the circumstances and show- ed him the opinion. Mr, Cleveland looked at him with a smile and then read it with care. “Humph,” said he; “pretty poor opinion, but it will do to charge.”—New York Times. Why He Concealed His Calling. “I hope,” said the young man, “that partinl concealment of the truth is no He. If it Is, I am telling a whopper right now, and I'm a divinity student too. That is what 1 am lying about. I don’t tell that I am studying theol- ogy. If I did I wouldn't find it so easy to hold this job. I'm one of the down-on-his-luck students who has to work his way through college. One of the first things I learned when I be- gan to look for a position was that the average employer of labor has no use for the divinity student. Somehow ev- ery man engaged in business holds the opinfon that a young fellow who Is studying for the ministry lacks back- bone, and he is afraid to trust him Wwith important duties. “After I had ingenuously explained my circumstances to about twoscore of employers and had been turned down by all of them I got wise. I am work- Ing now. The boss doesn’t know I am pegging away nights on church his- tory. If he did the chances are he'd discharge me, not because he has any grudge against parsons or church his- tory, but because he, like everybody else, would think I hadn’t pluck enough to earn my salary.”—New York Times. Staggered Webster. In the somewhat famous case of | Mrs. Bodgen’s will, which was tried in the Massachusetts supreme court many years ago, Danlel Webster ap- peared as counselor for the appellant. Mrs. Greenough, wife of the Rev. Wil- Ham Greenough of West Newton, was a very self possessed witness. Not- withstanding Mr. Webster's repeated efforts to disconcert her she pursued the even tenor of her way until Web- ster, becoming quite fearful of the re- sult, arose, apparently in great agi- tation, and, drawing out his large snuffbox, thrust his thumb and finger to the very Dbottom and, carrying a deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it up with gusto, and then, extracting from his pocket a very large handkerchief, he blew his nose with a report that rang distinet and loud through the crowded hall. He then asked, “Mrs. Greenough, was Mrs. Bodgen a neat woman?”’ “I cannot give you full information as to that, sir. She had one very dirty trick,” replied the witness. “What was that, madam?” “She took snuff.” Most Popular of Pictures. ‘The best known picture in the world, it has been said, is Vandyke’s portrait of James II of England as an infant, popularly known as Baby Stuart. Two million copies of it are said to be in American homes, and it is equally popular in England and continental Bu- rope.® This is not because it is a por- trait of a child who became king, but because it is a' masterly piece of in- fant portraiture. The plump, round cheeks and tiny nose, surmounted by a tight fiting cap, appeal to every lov- er of children. The figure with which the world is familiar is the central one in a group of the eldest three children of Charles I. painted in 1635, when the baby, afterward known as the Duke of York, was only two years old and barely able to stand alone.—Youth’s Companion. She Told Him a Lie. He had been dining well, but not too ‘wisely, and the next morning his con- science as well as his head smote him pretty considerably. Yet he managed to struggle down to breakfast and to make an attempt to toy with the dainty and tempting dishes ‘which his dear lit- tle wife had thoughtfully provided. “Cecil,” said his better half gently as she watched his ineffectual endeav- ors to do justice to the matutinal re- past, “I am afraid that I told you a lie yesterday, and I want you to for- give me, dear.” “A lie?” he asked wonderingly. “Yes. As you left the house you will remember I said to you, ‘Youll be home early, darling? Well, it wasn’t true!” And he went out a sadder and wise man. : Mountains Had Not Moved. The story is told that when Judge William Rogers was chairman of the school committee in a New England town one examination day he went around questioning pupils of the mid- dle grade. He asked a boy named Rock where the Rocky mountains were. The boy answered correctly, but failed to be promoted that term. The following year the judge asked the same question. Rock replied, “The same place they were last year.” o| Wholesome Fear. Miss H., the principal of a grammar school, was investigating a case brought ber by a pupil. ® “Are you quite sure that was the ‘way it happened, Mrs. P.?” “Miss H., that was just the way. I'm telling you the truth. I wouldn't dare tell you a lie. I'm not well enough today.”—Woman’s Home Companion. University Tests. One might say that the first test at Oxford is athletic ability, the next so- clability and the final scholastic abil- ity. When you have passed the first two, you are the admiration of your friends; when you have shown your- gelf a scholar besides, you are the ad- miration of your -college. ~ Rhodes Scholar in Sunset Magazine.

A Lost Bank Note. _A friend of mine, writes a Scottish sorrespondent, recently saw a plece of paper lying on the street. He picked It up. It was a one pound note. Some men might have pocketed it, with a smile of satisfaction. My friend, how- ever, honestly handed it over to the police. A short time afterward he dis- covered that he himself had lost a pound. He thought over the matter and rememibered that before finding the note he had been standing on the edge of the pavement for some time. It slowly dawned upon him that the pound he had found was his own and that he had drawn it from his pocket unconsciously. He went back prompt- ly to the police station and explained the circumstance. The ofiicer in charge only shook his head and smiled in- credulously. “Very clever,” he said, “but—eh—it will scarcely do.” If my friend cared to call back at the end of six months, he was informed, he would get the pound if in the interval it had not been claimed. During this time of walting he is inclined to meditate as to whether honesty is always the best policy.—London P. T. O. In Case of Accident. Don’t bluster. Be tactful. If there are dangerous germs present, ask them to withdraw. If they demur, ask them where they were brought up with gen- tle irony. Be careful to render first aid to the Injured. A great deal of unnecessary suffering has been caused by persons hastily rendering third or even fourth aid where first aid was indicated. In case of drowning select a best method of resuscitation. There are 4,639 best methods in all. Have them about you in the form of loose news- paper clippings and run them over briefly before acting. Keep cool. Stop every little while and take your temperature, If the coroner arrives while you are at work, immediately desist. It is dis- courteous to save life in his presence. Take accurate notes of the street and number. Reviving patients almost al- ways ask where they are. If possible, induce death to super- vene rather than to take place merely or even to ensue. It gives the family a sense of dignity.—Puck. The Frank Critic. “When Sir John Millais was engaged in painting his ‘Chill October’ among | the rushes on the banks of the Tay, near Perth,” said an English artist, “a railway porter from the station at Kin- fauns used to carry the canvas back and forth for him. “The porter was a quaint chap. His services were called for many days in requisition. He became quite friendly with Sir John and seemed to take a bearty interest in the progress of the painting. “Well, ‘Chill October’ was eventually finished and sold a little while after- ward for a thousand pounds. This fact somehow reached the porter’s ears. He met Sir John’s brother-in-law at Kin- fauns one day and said excitedly: ““Mon, is’t true that Sir John’s sold t'picture and got a thoosand poond for't?” “‘Yes, certainly,’ was the reply. “‘A thoosand poond! repeated the porter. ‘Why, mon, I wadna gi’en half a croon for't”” Rotundity of Earth, We are assured by competent au- thority that Thales of Miletus taught that the earth was of a globular form 8o early as 640 B. C. Pythagoras dem- onstrated from the varying altitudes of the stars that the earth must be round. Aristarchus of Samos main- tained that the earth turned on its own axis and revolved about the sun, ‘which doctrine was held by his con- temporaries as so absurd and revolting that the philosopher nearly lost his life B. C. 280. The wisdom of the an- cients was, of course, lost sight of in the darkness of the “middle ages,” and it took Galilei and Copernicus to re- store the old knowledge to the world.— New York American. Murder In Germany. . Germany distinguishes between two kinds of murder—one, premeditated and intentional, is punishable by death; the second, intentional homicide with- out deliberation, is punishable by penal servitude for from five to fifteen years. Dueling in Germany is a misdemeano of a special kind. Who kills his oppo- nent in a duel is not charged with murder or manslaughter, but with dueling, the punishment for which is detention in a fortress for fifteen years, —London Chronicle, Ruffled His Feathers. Artist (showing friend his master- plece)—Now, my boy, that is a picture, if you-like—real and natural. What do you think of it? Friend—Capitall Cap- itall So lifelike! Such light and shade! I don’t think I ever saw a bet- ter picture of a battlefield. Artist— Great Paul Rubens! That's not a bat- tlefleld—that's-a basket of fruit!—Lon- don Standard. Reduction, The old nag was jogging up the hill ‘with the elopers. “Yes,” said the old nag, “it is rather tough pulling them up to the parson- age; but it will be easier coming back.” “How 807" queried the friendly goose at the roadside. 5 “Why, can’t you see that after leay- ing the parsonage two will be made one?”—Chicago News. The Editor Regrets. Office Boy—The editor says he’s much obliged to you for allowing him to see your drawings, but much regrets he is unable to use them. Fair Artist (eager- 1y)—Did he say that?

She—He Is a person of perfect ease and possession and is thoroughly at home anywhere. He—Yes, he even has the faculty of making you feel a total stranger in your own house.—London Tit-Bits. * 3 4 Fear and Danger.

Mrs. Tabbs lives on the third floor of a house in Camberwell, and when he arrived at her address he stood in the doorway and bawled up the stalrs: “Mother, aloft there! Jack’s come home! Open the window!” “Why, Jacky, my dear,” crled the old lady from the landing, “whatever's wrong with the stairs?” “Stairs!” cried the weather worn tar, with ineffable contempt. “What do 1 know about stairs? Just you open the window and lower a rope to the main deck, and Le quick about it!"— London Express. 24 0ld Nancy Doarce was noted for the striking originality of some of her ex- pressions.
