Crookston Journal: Miss Mayme Malone arrived in the city last evening from Bemidji, where she is employed with the Bemidji Lum- ber company, and will remain with the home folks till Monday morn ing. Miss Malone likes her sur: roundings at Bemidji very much, and the pine zephyrs seem to agree with her.

Mrs. C. L. Bang; who were formerly residents of Crookston. Miss Funk is a sister of Henry Funk, who recently moved here from Crookston, and is now in the employ of W. S. Lycan & Co., at the Markham hotel. Life In Christiania. Many of the residences of Christiania stand villa-like in the midst of pretty gardens, which in summer are full of bloom and give the streets a peculiar charm and sense of openness. Within, the people live simple, wholesome lives, kindly and hospitable, with that truest hospitality which invites the guest to share in good cheer without ostentation or display. Dinner is at 3 or 4 o’clock, served by trim, fresh looking maids, and supper at 8, where, except on form- al occasions, the guest is free to forage around the table for himself. Host and hostess drink the health of each guest with the word “skaal,” replied to by the eyes over the-glass after drink- ing. Adjourning to the drawing room, the guests thank both master and mis- tress of the house, and on the next meeting never fail to say, “Thanks for the last time”” One is everywhere struck by the frank and unaffected sim- plicity of the life and the straightfor- ward kindliness of the people.—H. H. D. Peirce in Atlantic. : Dread of Marble Portraits. “One peculiarity of human’ nature that I am reminded of daily,” sald a sculptor, “Is the' disinclination of the. average man to look upon himself re- produced in marble. [The sight strikes him 'with positive dread. It makes him feel as if he were looking on his own lifeless body. For that reason It is difficult to persuade many persons worth modeling to sit for a sculptor. Frequently T am asked why most of my work I8 modeled after dead and gone subjects. The answer is that liv- ing people refuse to give me a commis- slon. The art of the sculptor differs there from that of the painter. Every- body likes to be painted. The sight of one’s face, one’s figure, one’s clothes, In a picture evokes nothing but pleasura- ble emotions if well done, but to see oneself carved out of marble produces such an overpowering sense of death that many sensitive persons put off im- |- mortalization at the hands of a sculp- tor until they are really dead.”—New York Press. ‘The Other Reason. A teamster retires at the age of ninety with an accumulation of $50,- 000. He says he wants and is entitled to a rest. Some Inquirers want te know how he could have saved. so much on $12 a week, the highest wages he ever received. The answer Is easy. He got $2 a day. He lived on 22 cents a day. He saved the difference. I lived In New York on 5 cents a day for nearly six months and was in magnifi- cent_health. Some people eat to live; others live to eat. As the old chap on the ferryboat said to the small boy: “Sonny, why does a pig eat?” “’Cause he’s hungry.” “No. There's another reason.” “Whut's dat?” . “He wants to make a hog of him- self.”—New York Press. The Buckboard, ~ * '~ “There are few persons who know how the name of ‘buckboard’ came to be applied to a vehicle,” says a writer. “It was away back in the twentles, when the transportation of goods, wares and merchandise was almost entirely by wagon. A Dr. Buck was then In charge of military stores en route to army posts in the southwest. In east Tennessee much difficulty was experienced by reason of the rough roads, and there were frequent mis- haps, mostly from wagons overturning. Dr. Buck overhauled the outfit, and, abandoning the wagon - bodles, long boards were set directly on the axles or hung below, and the stores were loaded in such a manner that there were no further delays from break- downs, and the stores safely reached their destinations. In special emergen- cy, too, the load could be shifted or taken off in a hurry. Dr. Buck’s ex- ample was followed, especially when roads were rough, and soon much haul- ing was done by the use of wheels, axles and boards only. Now we have the buckboard, both in carriage and au- tomobile forms, conforming closely to the original idea, though few suspect the source of it.”—Chicago News. Technical Swearing. The late Sir John Millais was a very keen fisherman. He used to tell a story of an old man who was his at- tendant durlng a day’s sport in the north of England. The old man was full of local gossip and small scandal, and where the natural supply failed him he was clearly able to manufac- ture enough of his own to go on with. “I were out with the bishop yester- day,” said the old man, referring to a popular church dignitary, who is also a good fisherman. “Ah,” replied Mil- lals, “he’s a good man!” “Well,” con- tinued the old fellow, “’e may be, but ’e do swear a bit when ’e’s fishin’.” “Oh, nonsense!” replled Millals. “1 don’t believe that” The old man in- sisted that he was right, however. “I'll give you #n instance,” he said. “I was standin’ "longside o’ the bishop, same as I might be aside o’ you, and 'e’d got a big fellow at the end of ’Is line that was pretty mnigh pullin’ ’im off 'is feet, and I turns to ’is lordship and I says, *’E pulls — ’ard, don’t he? and the bishop says, ‘Yes, ’e do. ‘Well, now, ain’t that swearin’?’—Lon- don M. A. P. St. Patrick and the Roosters. Bt. Patrick’s reputation as a snake charmer is known all the world over, but what he did to the roosters is a bit of history less disseminated. There is a small district in the heart of County Sligo, it seems, which strenuously re- sented the intrusion of the Scotchman. Sucecat (St._ Patrick) had become ex- ceedingly domineering, and it was de- clded to put a damper on his progress. He sald to his hostess, “Wake me when the cock crows.” When he had gone to bed she whispered this com- mand to the neighbors, and all the populace concealed thelr roosters un- der small creels so they could not 1ift their heads high enough to crow. In consequence thereof the saint overslept himself and was furious when he dis- covered the trick that had been played on him. He laid his everlasting curse on the roosters of that district, and they have never crowed since—Ex- change. _— The Number Fourteen In France. 8o far as France Is concerned, it is the number fourteen that has played a conspicuous and generally portentous part in her history. On May 14, 1554, the Rue de la Ferronnerle was enlarged by order of Henri II., and four times fourteen years later Henrl IV. was as- sassinated there by Ravaillac—namely, on May 14, 1610. Henrl had lived four times fourteen years, fourteen weeks and four times fourteen days—i. e., fif- ty-six years and five months. Then Henrl's son, Louis XIII, died May 14, 1648 (the same day and month as his fathers). And 1643 added together equals fourteen, just as 1553 (the year of the birth of Henrl IV.) equals four- teen, Louis XIV ascended the throne 1643, which added together 'equals fourteen and similarly the year of his death (1715) equals. The Doctor at Sea. A veteran naval surgeon, speaking of the odd things that crop out in the service, said that one of the younger medical cranks in the navy discovered much virtue in sea water, and no mat- ter what disease came on his first ac- tion was to throw down the patient’s throat a large dose of the nauseating liquid. The crew soon learned to hate him thoroughly. In process of time he fell overboard ‘in a choppy sea, and a great bustle ensued. In the midst of it the captain came up and anxiously in- quired the cause. “Oh, nothing, sir,”’ replied a tar, “only the doctor has fell Into his medicine chest!” _— Fooling the Youngster. “Mother,” said Mr. Popley guarded- ly to his wife, “why not take the y-o-u-n-g-s-t-e-r to the m-a-t-t-i-n-e-e to- morrow ?”” “Pa,” chimed in the youngster quiet- 1y, “there’s only one ‘t’ in ‘matinee.’” Advice to a Wife. Advice is often too good to be taken, but a very agreeable variety was once glven by James Russell Lowell to a young woman about to be marrled, “Always give your husband—your own way.” : A Thirst For Knowledge. Caller—I wish you would tell-me what the real difference is between a Stradivarius and any other violin. Tn- formation Editor—Well, sometimes it is as much as $5.000.—Chicago Tribune. The happiness of life consists in something to do, something to love and something to hope for.—Dr. Chalmers. Well Occupied In Either Case. It is beautiful to see a young girl start out with the avowed intention of devoting her life to teaching school, and yet few people blame her seriously when she quits to get married.—Tomb- stone Epitaph. ‘ A Hypocrite. Teacher (after explaining the charac- ter of the Phariseer—And now what do we mean by a “hypocrite?’ Pupil— Please, miss, a man wot says he 18 wot be isn’t, but he ain’t--Puuch. 5 ForC oughs T It would be very interesting'to know for coughs, colds, and all forms of lung troubles.
