SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM . BURY THE AX—GET TOGETHER. Hey, you fellows of Bemidji, who have been attempting to wipe one another off the political map, and who have been making -terrible threats as to what you will do each to the other: We want you to “get together.” Bemidji needs the sixth normal school, and we need the combined efforts of everyone of you towards attaining that desired addition to the city’s “‘good things.” Bemidji can also secure many other things that will greatly advance the city as the most pro- gressive and busiest community in the north half of the state. United action of the different factions which have been arrayed in battle royal for lo these many years, can accomplish much that is good for this great little city. It makss no difference to which *'gang” (so-called) you belong; bury that ax and get into harness for the benefit of the whole of your home city. “Knocking” any individual or “‘hammering” the city will avail nothing, and in nine cases out of ten but reacts on the person swing- ing the “sledge.” Now, all together—'Boost Be- midji.” MEAN TRICK ON THE “GROWLER.” We won’t stand for any ‘“low- down” tricks on our old friend, “Colonel” Allen; even if they are committed by fellow townsmen of Bemidji. It has come to our ears that the “Colonel” was hunting recently, near Three-Island Lake, not far from the village of Turtle River, when some of the perniciously active residents of that vicinity “handed” the Sen- tinel mana package that was not deserving. We have it that A. B. was out on the lake, early one morning, about daylight, and was fortunate enough to run across no less than five nice flocks of mallards. He emptied both barrels of his gun, each time, right into the center of the fowls—and the §'Colonel” was some shot during the late unpleasantness between the North and the South—known in history as the civil war. He was chided considerably on his poor markmanshhip; but we are going to tell what the mean cusses did to him. They took all of his shells and emptied out the shot, afterwards filling them with a preparation that would evaporate as soon as it came in contact with the air. The “Colonel” would shoot with those fixed “leaden missles,” and as soon as they got to the end of the muzzle they would evaporate into air. We will always stand by our old friend as a dead shot; and that was what was the matter with the *“Colonel’s” shooting at those ducks. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] A man can look just as pale and interesting as a woman when he begins telling you why he is dieting. When the office starts out to seek the man it has to hustle to keep ahead of the men who are on its trail. The young man who soulfully in- forms a girl that he is willing to die for her generally has a mental reser- vation to the effect that he will die of old age. Possibly the reason they arrested Christopher. Columbus was that at every opportunity he would begin saying: “That reminds me of a funny thing I saw when I was abroad.” While the subliminal conscious- ness may actuatea man at times, when he sits down on a tack he jumps so quick and high that he leaves subliminal consciousness hopelessly in the lurch. When a man is sure he can do a piece of work the way we want him to we praise his self-confidence; when he is sure he can do it his own way and that our way is wrong we marvel at his conceitedness. Philanthropic Misera. In several remarkable cases real phi- lanthropy has beeu a miser’s motive in sperding aund saving to a grotesque | degree. Thus when the first Pasteur institute was suggested in Paris -to keep green the memory of the world famous scientist a poor wretch who lived in utter misery ‘came forward with a subscription of $300. And ‘when the cfficials called upon him with a message of thanks they found him in an evil smelling slum behind the Cathedral of Notre Dame. When the door was openegd the miser philan- thropist was found quarreling violent- ly with his miserable looking serv- ant for throwing away a match, that bad not been burned at both ends. A similar case, but on a much lar, scale, was- that of Jacques Gurgol Marseilles. Every one in the clty knew and hated him for his incredibly sor- did life, yet when the old miser's will was proved all France was amazed to find he had left $250,000 to his native city especially to” furnish the poor with a good and cheap water supply. “I know,” the old man wrote, “that 50,000 of our citizens died of the plague during the epidemic of 1720, which was generated by the noxious effluvia arising from filthy streets that were never cleansed.” —New York Tribune, The Poor Ensign. The following story @f German mili- tary officialism is published in Lon- don: One Ensign Flugge claimed com- pensation for damage to kit caused by a mouse having gnawed a hole'in his best tunic. The officer who had to de- cide the point dismissed the claim and ordered the ensign to be severely pun- ished on the ground that, contrary to orders, he had hung his hest tunic on a nail when going on guard at night in an inferior garment instead of pack- ing it in his knapsack, thus enabling a mouse to gnaw a hole in it “without having to overcome the slightest im- pediment.” Ensign Flugge appealed, 4k and on further hearing it appeared that the officer who first dealt with the case was mistaken in the facts, the tunic having been stowed in a . knapsack at the time when the mouse defuced it and not hung upon a nail. The first decision was therefore set aside by higher authority, and Ensign Flugge was ordered to be severely punished for having stowed his tunic in his knapsack instead of hanging it on a nail, thereby giving opportunity to the mouse to knaw a hole in it “un- der cover of the darkness.”” The senti- ments of Ensign Flugge are not re- corded, The Arab Mare. The Arab is regarded as the first of horsemen and the Arab mare as the perfect steed. The Arab’s idea of horse taming is of the simplest. The colt is treated from the first as a member of the family. It goes in and out of the tents and is so familiarized with the doings of that extraordinary creature, mau, that there is never any need of breaking it in. The Bedouin Is very careful of his mare. He does not mount her when he sets out to play his usual tricks upon travelers. He rides a camel to which the mare is tethered. Not until the caravan is in sight does he mount the mare and give chase. There is, by the way, an impression that the Bedouin is a bloody minded person who would as lief take your life as not. This is un- fair to him. He is a thief of very peaceful Inclinations and much pre- fers to effect any necessary transfer of property with as little bother as pos- sible.—London Graphie. A Poor Bath. A TFrenchman was talking in New York about the excellent bathing beaches of America. “There are no such beaches in Eu- rope,” said he. “And the sea over there is not so pleasant to bathe in. Frequently, you know, great pipes empty sewage into it. They who stay late for the bathing in Nice, for in- stance, swim about among lemon peel, orange skins, melon rinds, soaked but still buoyant newspapers—fearful rub- bish. I once bathed in Nice. The Med- iterranean was warm and pleasant, but it resembled soup or something worse. 1 heard an American after coming out say to the bathing master: “‘Look here, friend, where do stran- gers go for a wash after bathing here? ” How We Fall Asleep. 1t is not generally known that the body falls asleep in sections. The mus- cles of the legs and arms lose their power long before those which sup- port the head and these last sooner than the muscles which -sustain the back. The sense of sight sleeps first, then the sense of taste, next the sense of smell, next that of hearing and last- ly that of toud¢h. These are the results of careful and lengthy investigation by a French scientist, M. Cabanis, Making Practice. “These mere vassals of the town have the audacity to say my poems: make them sick,” said the proud bard. “You don’t object to them, do you, sir?” “No, indeed,” answered the stranger. “And may I ask who you are?” “Why, I am the town physician.”— Chicago News. Virtue of Hospitality. Hospitality solves and annuls even the mysterious antagonisms that exist between races. This glorious and beau- tiful and sacred rite makes all men brothers.—Cassell’s Saturday Journal. Poor Eve. Eve (in the garden)—Adam, I've got to have another dress. Adam—Eve, you're the most resolute woman I've ever known. Youre always turning over a new leaf.—London Tatler. Moving Pictures. Moving picture cameras are remark- able pieces of mechanism. The filme are only three-quarters of an inch wide. These are in rolls; sometimes 800 feet long. When taking pictures the camera man reels off these rolls just 88 rapidly as they are unreeled when thrown upon the canvas for the spec- tator, at a rate of ten or twelve films & second. Moving pictures are simply a number of views thrown upon a white sheet one after anothér so rapid- l'y“:h:t the eye cannot detect the inter- The patient complained of lnsomnln “You must get an alarm clock at ‘once,” said the physician: 'The patient stared. i “I mean it. What time do you waken usually in the night?” “Two o’clock lately.” : “Set the alarm for fifteen minutes before 2. As soon as it strikes, get up, dress for the day and take a walk of not less than two miles, Do not go to bed again that day under any cir- cumstances, nor take a nap, even sit- ting in your chair. - “The next night set the alarm at a quarter past 2. Youswill sleep until it wakens you. Get up as before and take another two file walk. “Phé ‘third night you can venture to set your alarm at 3. Repeat the walk. If you are not cured by that time, you -will be a more difficult case than any 1 have had heretofore, but if the habit of lying awake is not broken begin back at 2 o’clock again and repeat.”— New York Press. Wonderful. Two saflors noticed that a shark was following their ship. Not knowing how to get rid of it, they threw a chair oyerboard. The' Shark swallowed this, but still followed. . The sailors then threw a box of or- ‘anges overboard. to it. The shark -swallowed this and” still followed. The men seemed’ completely beuten for a moment what.to do until one of them said that those on board should draw lots for who had to satisfy the shark, It fell to an old Woman. So the sail- ors tossed her overboard, and the shark ate her at one bite. “This did not content the fish, which still followed. So the sailors harpoon- ed it and dragged it on board. On opening it they found te: their surprise the old woman sitting on the chair selling oranges “three a penny.” —Pearson’s Weekly. Fresh Water From the Ocean. Manama, the principal port of the Bahrein islands, the center of the pearl fisheries, gets its fresh water from the ocean. Visitors often note boats anchored a few hundred yards from the shore, the. boatmen engaged | in drawing fresh water from springs at the bottom of the sea. These springs well up strongly at a considerable depth, and the entire water supply of the town is obtained from them. The fresh water is procured in two ways—either in a goatskin water bag, which a diver takes down with him and carefully closes before bringing it to the surface, or by letting down long hollow pipes of bamboo, weighted at the lower end, through which the' water rises up uncontaminated to the surface.—Argonaut. The Mere Formality Won. “Yes, sir,” said the pale, youthful suitor; “I have come to ask you for your daughter’s hand. She is fal as lilies, charming”— “Is that Mary you're talking about?” asked papa. “Yes, sir. It i3 a mere formality, 1 know, this asking for your daughter's hand, but we thought it would be pleasing to you if it were observed.” Mary’s papa stiffened. “And may I inquire,” he asked, “who suggested that asking my consent to Mary’s marriage was a mere formal- ity “You may, sir,” replied the young man simply. “It was Mary’s mother.” Paraguay’s Sweet Plant. A lherb called by the natives caa ehe, but botanically Eupatorium re- baudianum, grows wild in Paraguay. It is remarkable for its sweetness. In. deed, the native name means the “sugar plant.” It grows along the bor- ders of the river Amambahi and at- tains a height of only about five inches, The smallest bit of this plant when placed upon the tongue produces a surprisingly sweet flavor, which, it 1s ) said, lasts for hours. The saccharine power is much greater than that of sugar.—Youth's Companion. The Sleepless Seven. “There were seven of the twelve,” sald one of the discharged jurors in speaking of the matter next morning, “who didn't want to sleep themselves and wouldn’t let the rest of us sleep. Whenever we dropped into a doze they came around and shook us till we were wide awake again.” “And you had to submit, 1 suppose, for they constituted the majority?” “Yes. They were a rousing majority,” sald the hollow eyed juror, with a pen- sive attempt to be facetious~Chicago Tribune. A Life Note. “Life is what we make it,” sald the philosopher. “Alas,” exclaimed the practical one, “that we can’t make it a million!” We ask Providence to make us thankful for what we receive and then go to figuring on just how much Provi- dence .1s going to send us.—Atlanta Constltution. A Present. “That’s a very fine purse you have, Henry.” “Yes. My wife gave it to me on my birthday.” “Indeed! Anytbing in 1t?” “Yes; the bill for the purse.” PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to ar [, Bleedi: d- ...m..,.m'mz‘dmmmwfim ont i nEcunEs CHARGES FALSE Mrs. Hains Denies Authorship of Pub- lished Lotters. b2 Boston, Nov. :,—The publication in New York of - extracts from letters purporting to have been written by Mrs. Claudia’ Hains to her husband, Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., who is awalting trial for killing Willlam E. Annis, has alicited a declaration from Mrs. Hains. that Captain Hains and his brother, ‘T. Jenkins Hains, feel compelled to. resort. togevery means in their power to blacken her character “in_ their. attempt to save their own lives.” | Mrs. Hains, in her statement, . asserts that the ‘obvious reason for the attacks ‘on her character is that they were the only way in which the Hains brothers could. justify them- selves before the public and “manu- facture public sympathy in the com- munity from which the jury before whom they are to be tried is to be drawn.” Mrs. Halns alludes to the letters as having been forged and garbled and declares that the charges against her suggested - by the. letters are false. She affirms that she has endeavored to keep silent under provocation, be- cause her replies “must necessarily take away the only chance my hus- band has for his life,” but that many of her friends are urging her to be- come a witness at the murder trial and that whether or not she does so will depend upon her ability to with- stand “this torrent of abuse.” Entire Family Dead.
