Ike Lederer in Town. Ike Lederer of St. Paul, whoisa commercial traveler for the David Adler & Sons’ Clothing company of Milwaukee, is again calling on his 'customers in this vicinity, for the first time in many weeks. Mr. Lederer,who is one of the most popular Elks in the state, attended the meeting of Bemidji lodge, which he assisted in instituting. Mr. Lederer was ill for several months, in fact, his life was at one time dispaired of, but he has re- gained much of his old enthusiasm, and all of the north-country boys are glad to see him out again. What's In a Mame? “Come here, Bates!” roared Dr. Big- wig, head and only master of the Cramton vlllage school. “I have today recelved—ahem!—a letter from Mr. Johnson informing me that his son ls unable to attend school in consequence of a thrashing you yesterday inflicted upon him. Is this a fact, Bates?” “N-n-no, sir!” quailed Bates. “I nev- er touch ’im.” But Dr. Bigwig did not believe, and two minutes later Bates was asking for permission to stand up in class, the benches being of wood. On the following day Johnson re- turned, and Dr. Bigwig sought Justifi- cation of his act before the whole class. “Did you tell your father that Bates thrashed you?” he asked, “No, sir,” piped the youth. The master’s countenance clouded. “But your father wrote to me, say- Ing that Bates did it!” he thundered. “I know 'e dld!" eniveled Johnson. “It were Billy Beauchamp did It, sir, but father couldn’t speel Beauchamp, B0 he wrote Bates.”—London Answers, His Desire to Reform. Discussing poverty on one occasion, the Dutch poet and economist Van Eeden said, “We want reform, and we ‘want it about as badly as a Dutch stu- dent 1 knew in my youth. “This student’s chum said to him: “‘Look here, 'm tired of the life Tve been leading for the past two years. I'm going to reform. This morn- 1ing I shall attend a lecture.’ “My student, a confirmed idler, yawned, put down his ptpe and an- swered: “‘Yes; it would be splendid to re- form, and yet the beer is very good here this morning, isn’t it? I tell you what we'll do. We'll let my dog Wil- helm dectde whether we reform or not.’ “‘Wilhelm decide! How will he do g * ‘Oh, 1t Is very simple. We'll tell the ‘walter to bring a plece of sausage. We'll set the sausage before Wilhelm, and If bhe eats it we stay where we are. If he doesn’t, we reform and go to lectures.’ "—Washington Star. A Blind Man’s Ruse. “My great-uncle, who was blind,” said a Frenchman, “once buried $4,000 in gold louis under a pear tree in his garden. His neighbor saw him do it and in the dead of night came and stole the money, replacing the earth care- fully. “Some days later my uncle brought fifty more louis down to the pear tree for burial. He soon discovered his loss, and, silently weeping, be, too, re- placed the earth. “He knew whom to suspect, and that night he called on his neighbor. He scemed thoughtful nnd distrait, and the neighbor asked him what oppressed his mind, “Well, PLE tell you,' sald my great- uncle frankly, *I have 1,000 louis hid mway in a safe place, and today a ten- ant paid off a mortgage, and | have another 1,000 louls In cash on my hands. 1 don’t know whether to seek out another hiding place for this mon- ey or put it where the other is. What do you advise? “‘Why,” sald the neighbor eagerly, ‘if your first hiding place Is safe—and you declare It to be so—I should cer- tainly put this money there too." “My great-uncle said firmly that that was what he would do. It was the wisest course. Then he took his leave. “And when next day he went to the pear tree again there, sure enough, was his lost 1,000 louis, all put back again.” —Exchange. Ingersoll on Clover. In declining an invitation to a Clover club dinner once Colonel Robert Inger- soll wrote: “A wonderful thing is ‘clover. It tneans honey and cream—that is to say, Industry and contentment—that is to say, the happy bees in perfumed fields and at the cottage gate ‘Old Boss,’ the bountiful, serenely chewing satisfac- tion’s cud in that blessed twilight pause that, like a benediction, falls be- tween all toll and sleep. This clover makes me dream of happy hours, of childbood’s rosy cheeks, of dimpled babes, of wholesome, loving wives, of honest men, of springs and brooks and A Telephone Opiate. The elder's wife was seriously {ll, and the doctor advised rest and quiet. But the lady was very devoted to church work and worrled herself into hysteria because she could not attend services and hear her favorite pastor preach. “She must not leave the house,” ‘warned the doctor, “but you can easily arrange to have her hear the sermon by telephone.” The elder grasped the suggestion and made the necessary arrangements for transmitting the sermon into bis wife’s roowm. At noon on the Sabbath the doctor called and asked, “How did it work?" “Fine,” declared the elder, rubbing his hands gleefully. ‘““Ten minutes aft- er the sermon began she fell sound asleep.”—Philadelphia Ledger. His Criticism, Robert Louis Stevenson once took an eccentric acquaintance of his to hear Sir Charles Halle play the piano at St. James’ hall, London. Sir Charles was 2 musician of the most correct and severe British type, though a German by birth. After the concert was over they walked as far as the Marble arch neither having spoken. Arrived there the friend stopped and delivered him- seif thus: “The manner of the elderly statesman at the piano was somewhat austere and chilling” And then they walked on. Taking No Chances. A farmer who took much pride in the looks of his fattening pigs cnce purchased a pair from a neighbor. Upon delivery at the 1l age of eight weeks they seemed to Lim rather small. Eying ‘them dublously, he remarked dryly, “Guess I had better keep the cat shut up for a few days.” A Hard Stunt. Mamma—Good griac WLat is the matter with Freddie Jones? Is the child having a ftY Georgie—No. mamma. You know Fred- us. Georgie! violets and all there is of stainless joy in peaceful human life. “A wonderful word Is clover! Drop the ‘c; and you have the happiest of mankind. Take away the ‘¢ and ‘r; and you have left the only thing that makes a heaven of this dull and bar- ren earth. Cut off the ‘r' alone, and there remains a very deceitful bud that sweetens the breath and keeps peace in countless homes whose masters fre- quent clubs. After all, Bottom was right, ‘Good hay, sweet hay, hath no Lellow.”” A Curious Plant. “A curious plant,” said an eminent botanist, “is the wild tamarind or juba plant of the riverside and waste places of tropical America, and very strange are its effects upon the nonruminant animals that feed upon its young shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. It causes horses to lose the hair from their manes and tails, has a similar ef- fect upon mules and donkeys and re- duces pigs to complete nakedness. Horses are said to recover when fed exclusively on corn and grass, but the new hair is of different color and tex- ture from the old, so that the animal is never quite the same as it was. One animal of which I personally knew after feeding on the plant lost its hoofs and had to be kept in slings until they grew and hardened again. Ruml- nant animals are not thus affected, and the growth of the plant is actually en- couraged In the Bahamas as a fodder plant for cattle, sheep and goats. The difference i: probably due to changes effected upon it in the chewing of the cnd.” A Trying Position. An East Indian paper prints the fol- lowing, written by a native subordi- nate in his diary while In a very try- ing position: “Up a tree where I adhere with much pain and discomposure while big tiger roaring in a very awful manner on the fire line. This is very inconsiderate tiger and causes me great griefs, as 1 have before reported to your honor. This is two times he spoiled my work, coming and shouting like thunder and putting me up a tree and making me behave like an insect. It isa very awk- ward fate to me, and the tiger is most inconstderate.” The Widow’s Dower. It Is certain that “dower,” the estate for life which the widow acquires at her husband’s death, was not known among the early Saxons. In the laws of King Edmund the widow 1s directed to be supported wholly out of the per- sonal estate. Dower is generally as- cribed to the Normans, but it was first introduced into the feudal system by Emperor Frederick II, who-was con- about 1250. temporary with the Bnglish Henry IIL, die stufters, and we bet he couldn't say “altif1dinosity” before Bobble ran twice around the “oek _Pnck CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE You may go in at any time and stay until you have seen a Full Performance BRINKMAN FAMILY THEATER Paying Particular Attention to the Entertainment, Comfort and Con- venience of Ladies and Children. 1 2 3 Admission 15¢. OVERTURE Miss AnnNa HaGer Dynamiters GLAY GLEMENT WILL PLAY “NEW DOMINION” HERE The next attraction at the City Opera House will be Clay Clement, in the “New Dommion,” which comes to this city next Monday evening. Bemidji is indeed fortunate in securing so eminent an actor in so sterling a play; and the Pioneer can strongly recommend this actor and his great play as being the very best attraction that has come to this city. " Relative to the “New Dominion,” the Morning Oregonian, of Portland, Ore., says: “Not to have seen Clay Clement in one of his most finished creations, “Baron Hohenstauffen,” is not to have seen one of the great actors of the day in one of the most charming plays of this or any other day. In “The New Dominion,” of which the eminent actor is author, and in which he opened a week’s engage- ment at the Marquam yesterday, there is presented a study in char- acters that are lovable and altogether human. The charm of the play lies in its ever-present simplicity, in that not one strained effort for mere effect mars the beautiful unfolding of the story. The comedy is of that high order one finds in the classics. There is an absence of coarseness | Baronin the play is of noble birth and grossness. Mr. Clement’s Ho- henstauffen suggests intimate asso- ciation with cultured Germans, an intimacy Mr, Clement enjoyed when a student at Heidelberg for the and is gentle as an old gardener. “After. Colonel R. G. Ingersoll saw Mr. Clement for the first time in this part, he wrote the actor a letter in which he said: ‘“The Hohenstauffen of your creation has the culture of the university, the high breeding of the court, the cour- age of the army and the courtesy and tenderness of the perfect gentle- man.” Those words describe beyond the ability of writers of lesser attainments an estimate of Clay Clement’s creation and of his exemplification of that character as strong as it is deserved. “Goodwin has his Maxine; Clement his Kathleen. Miss Kerri- gan, ‘as the Southern girl, who so completely captivates the German philosopher, that the poor man almost loses his mind in the franctic efforts to make her understand his broken sentences and comprehend his love, is one of the striking beau- ties of the;American stage, and also possesses true dramatic talent. In her love scenes she is irresistibly winning and when she tells her father her heart belongs to the absent Baron she fairly scintillates with dramatic fire.” High-Class YVaudeville PROGRAM CHANGES MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY PROGRAM Commencing June 5, 1908.

NO ACTION DURING RECESS Mr. Payne Does Not Desire to Encour- age Tariff Revisionists. Washington, June 5—The fact that Chairman Payne of the house com- mittee on ways and means, which is to inquire into the subject of tariff re- vision, does not intend to call his committee together during the recess of congress is attributed to a desire not to encourage tariff revisionists. “All that will be done,” said Mr. Payne, “is that the executive depart- ments, notably the treasury depart- ment, will be asked to collect certain data in regard to the tariff schedules and have the information ready in time for the next regular session of congress.” The administration programme now, it is asserted, is that Secretary Taft, in the event of his nomination and election, shall ccnvene a special ses- sion of the Sixty-first congress imme- diately after his inauguration to take up the subject of tariff revision. In the event that a Democrat is elected next fall President Roosevelt will call congress together for tariff revision next November. from his attorney, Charles W. Trues- | WANIS ONE CENT A WORD.

The Pipe and Bowl has been dissolved and its members forbidden to join the Friars or any other club. Starving Children in School. New York, June 5.—Because of the widespread poverty on the East Side little children attending the public schools have gone to their lessons weak from hunger after fasting for periods of forty-eight hours or longer; pupils suffering so greatly from lack of nourishment that they fell fainting to the floor have pluckily hidden the cause of their weakness and pitiabla instances of starvation have multi plied alarmingly in the last few days. General Strike Threatened. Atlanta, Ga, June 5.—Val Fitzpat- rick, vice president of the Brother- hood of Railway Trainmen, sent the following telegram to J. W. Thomas, president of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railroad, at Nash- ville: “Unless you reinstate all men who left the service Tuesday and those who were dischargéd for being members of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen strike will be extended to your entire system.” The Left Twin. The survivor of twins is sometimes tredited with curious powers. In folk- lore he takes his place with the sev- enth son and with the child born with 2 caul. All these are supposed to have either special powers of healing or in Bome cases to be gifted with the mys- terious power of second sight. “In Essex, England,” says W. G. Black in his book on “Folk’Medicine,” “a child known familiarly as a ‘left twin'—i. e., 8 child who has survived its fellow twin—is thought to have the power of curing the thrush Ly blowing three times into the patient's mouth if the patient is of the opposite sex.” This is folklore, pure and simple. Another country notion generally held is that If twins are boy and girl the latter Will never become a mother. The physiology of the subject is obscure, but there is probably ground for the belief. Another idea not infrequently met with is that the intelligence of twins Is below the average. It is al- ways difficult to prove a negative, but it 18 very doubtful whether facts sup- port this notion of limited intelligence to any extent whatever. It is much more probable that their physical strength is likely to be something less than normal. FOUND:—A bunch of keys on ring. Call at Pioneer office. MISCELLANEOUS.
