SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM FARMERS INSTITUTE WILL BE FIRST-GLASS A. J. McGuire Will Preside Here, De- cember 4.—Arranging for the Comfort of Farmers. That this section is destined to be a great dairy section is now well understood by all thinking farmers. All the natural conditions point to dairying. Let us start right, for no matter how favorable nature 1s man must do his part. At the Farmers’ Institute the farm- ers will hear Mr. McGuire talk on this subject. He has carefully worked out a system of dairying that is giving him big cash returns. How to getthe most cash out of our cows, out of the cows that we now have—is what we most want to know. How to properly raise and feed our calves so as to make good, profitable cows out of them, how to use the skim milk to best advantage asa hog feed, and many of the small but so important points in the care of the cow will be explained. It will pay you to come and listen. Bemidji Friday Dec. 4. ‘The business men of Bemidji are arranginZ to make the forthcoming Farmers Institute the best ever held in this vicinity. W. R. Mackenzie, the chairman of the commercial club committee, has charge of the arrangements for the institute, which will be held at the city hall on December 4. There will be two sessions, one in the fore- noon and one in the afternoon, and every farmer in Beltrami county should make_it'a point to be present if possible. Poultry Fakes. “Oh, yes,” said the poultry farmer, “there are tricks in every trade! Take, for instance, this old rooster here.” The rooster was old. There was no denying it. He was as tough an old rooster as ever graced the summer boarders’ table of a New BEngland farm. “Take this old rooster,” said the farmer, seizing a paint brush. “Black up his feet. Then break his breast- bone, so, with a long pair of scissors. Then push the breast up high. What's the result? A fine young turkey’s the result, and knowing housewives will scramble over one another to buy him.” With a harsh laugh the farmer turn- ed to a skeleton chicken. “This bird 18 a regular skeleton, isn’t she?” he sald. “Now watch me. See, I lay her on her back. Then I place this heavy board on her breast. Then to- morrow. when I come to take her to market the board will have made her scraggy breastbone almost invisible, and it will have given her very full, plump sides—no breastbone, fat sides —the sure signs of a fat and tender young chicken.” An Unobserving TI Yosouf owned a beauti‘ul horse which was very valuable. While Yo- souf was transacting business a thief stole the horse. The owner shortly afterward saw the thief leading his horse and took him before the kaid, or Judge. “The horse is mine,” sturdily insist- ed the thief. In vain the other argued, and the kald was about to give his decision in favor of the villain when Yosouf ad- vanced suddenly, threw his cloak over the horse’s head and demanded of his enemy: “Since you own the horse, tell the kaid in which eye the animal is blind.” “In the left,” said the thief, making a wild guess. Yosouf looked toward the kaid tri- umphantly. “He’s blind in neither eye,” said he. So the noble horse came into its rightful owner’s possession again, and ~the wicked Arab was punished. In the Taproot of an Oak. I remember a curious incident con- nected with the taproot of an oak. This oak, a good tree of perhaps 200 years’ growth, was being felled at Bradenham wood when the woodmen called attention to something peculiar on the taproot. On clearing this of soll we found that the object was a horseshoe of ancient make. Obrviously In the beginning an acorn must have fallen into the hollow of this cast shoe, and as it grew through the slow generations the root filled up the cir- cle, carrying it down into the earth in the process of its increase till at length we found wood and iron thus strangely wedded. That taproot with the shoe about it is now or used to be a paperweight in the vestibule of Bradenham Hall—Rider Haggard. Wanted Them All. Julia Ward Howe was once talking with a dilapidated bachelor, who re- tained little but his conceit. “It is time now,” he sald pompously, “for me to settle down as a married man, but I want 8o much. I want youth, health, wealth, of course; beauty, grace”— “Yes,” said Mrs. Howe sympathetic- “you poor man, you do want them Poor Air and Poor Living. When Jim Bridger, the one time fa- mous scout of the plains, grew old he thought he would like to retire from the somewhat arduous life of a plains- man and settle down to the ease of “the east,” which to him meant Mis- sourl. So he used his best endeavor to find a competent man to fill his place and went back to Missourl. A year or two passed, and one day Captain Russell, the commandant of the post which Bridger had left, was surprised to see the old scout heave in sight. When he came in the cap-! tain asked: “Well, Bridger, what brings you back here?” “Captain,” said Bridger, “I want to go back to scouting again.” “Indeed? Why, I thought you had settled down in the east for the rest of your life!” “Well, cap'n, I'll tell you how it is. I went back to old Missouri, and if yowll believe it they’ve got a railroad station within ten mile o’ the old place —yes, sir, a_ railroad station! And, what’s more, they've got a ranch now in every four mile. I tell you what, cap’n, the air ain’t pure down there no more!” “Is that possible? But I thought you'd like the good things to eat they have down there. You like good things to eat, I remember.” “Good things to eat! Why, cap'n, I didn’t have a briled beaver tail the whole time I was there!” The First Cookhook. To the Romans belong the honor of having produced the first European cookery book, and, though the author- ship is uncertain, it is generally attrib- uted to Caelius Apicus, who lived un- der Trajan, 114 A. D. Here are two recipes from this ancient collection: “First, for a sauce to be eaten with boiled fowl, put the following ingredi- ents into a mortar: Aniseed, dried mint and lazer root. Cover them with vine- gar, add dates and pour in liquamen (a distilled liquor made from large fish which were salted and allowed to turn putrid in the sun), ofl and a small quantity of mustard seeds. Reduce all to a proper thickness with sweet wine warmed, and then pour this same over your chicken, which should previously be boliled in aniseed water.” The second recipe shows the same queer mixture of Ingredients: “Take a wheelbarrow of rose leaves and pound in a mortar; add to it brains of two pigs and two thrushes boiled and mixed with the chopped up yoke of egg, oll, vinegar, pepper and wine. Mix and pour these together and stew them steadily and slowly till the per- fume is developed.”—Chambers’ Jour- nal, Which Foot Walks Faster? You may think this a very silly ques- tion to ask, but it isn’t. It is a simple, demonstrable fact, which you can prove to your own satisfaction in a very few minutes. If you will take a pavement that is clear, so that there will be no interference, and walk brisk- 1y In the center, you will find that be- fore you have gone fifty yards you have veered very much fo one side. You must not make any effort, of course, to keep in the center, but if you will think of something and endeavor to walk naturally you cannot keep a direct line. The explanation of this lies in the propensity of one foot to walk faster than the other, or one leg takesa longer stride than the other; causing one to walk to one side. You can try an experiment in this way by placing two sticks about eight feet apart, then stand off about sixty feet, blindfold yourself and endeavor to walk between them. You will find it almost impos- sible. Why Not Be an Egotist? There is much mistaken sentiment as to the sin of egotism. The fact is ego- tism is not a sin. On the other hand, it is somewhat of a virtue and an in- dispensable element in all real prog- ress. Some phases of egotism are un- pleasant to the beholder and unfor- tunate for the possessor, but if all of self love, or, rather, the love of other people’s admiration and good will, were to be extinguished there would be little to hold society together and less to glve impetus to the great enterprises which spring from individual thought and culminate in personal profit.—Les- lie’s Weekly. The Retort Courteous. A lady passing through the negro quarter in Mobile, Ala., heard an old ‘woman chanting a dirgelike tune. “Auntfe,” she observed, “that is a mournful song you are singing.” “Yassum,” was the response, “I knows it's mo'nful, but by singin’ dat song an’ ’tendin’ to my own business 1 spects to git to heaben.” His Luck. “T have been engaged to at least a dozen girls,” said a young man. “And always been unlucky in love, eh?’ inquired a lady. “‘Oh, no—rather lucky!” was the an- swer. “I've never married any of them!” An Order Not Obeyed. An exasperated Irish sergeant, drill- ing a squad of recruits, called to them at last: “Halt! Just come over here, all of ye and look at yourselves. It's a fine line ye're keepin’, isn't 1t?” The Resemblance. “I was always interested in airships and flying machines, so I bought a the- ater.” “Why did you do that?” “A theater has wings and flles.” All who have gardens know what a pest the green fly, or aphis, becomes. It seems to cover rose trees and other plants like magic. , The Bohemian. “Ah, once a bohemian always a bo- hemian!” exclaimed the unscissored poet. “A bohemian never changes.” “No, not even his collar,” replied the practical man, who had met & few bo- hemians.—Chicago News.

LETTER TO - ROOSEVELT Alabama Congressman Demands That " President Rescind His Orders for Return of Vessels and Incidentally Scores the Chief Executive for In- terference in the Japanese Troubles in California, Akron, 0. Nov. 24.—Congressman Richmond P. Hobson of Alabama, who | is here, has sent a letter to President Roosevelt demanding that he rescind his orders recalling the United States fleet from the Pacific. In his letter he scored President Roosevelt for his in- terference in the Japanese troubles in California. “Our presidents have invariably re- fused to interfere in local matters even when foreign subjects were be- ing assassinated, but in this case, Mr. President, you did interfere where for- eign subjects were not being harmed. If you were justified then in calling on the people of San Francisco to sur- render you are not justified now in withdrawing the fleet and again plac- ing them and their neighbors on the whole Pacific coast country in pre- cisely the same defenseless position.” Conditions that have no counter- part in the Atlantic exist, Hobson says, and it will be a national and in- ternational call necessary to with- draw the fleet. CARNEGIE ON THE TARIFF Would Abolish Duty on Oil, Sugar, Thread and Steel. New York, Nov. 24—Calling specif- feally for immediate abolition of the tariff on oil, sugar, thread and steel Andrew Carnegie, in a signed article in the December Century magazine, delivers hard blows at his one time business associates and fellow money dictators. Mr. Carnegie’s contribution is en- titled “My Experience With and View Upon the Tariff.” He pays much attention to the pro- hibitive tariff on steel, under which the $1,000,000,000 trust is enabled to pay fabulous profits. He says in part: “The day has passed away when any forelgn country can seriously af- fect our steel manufacturers, tariff or no tariff. The republic has become the home of steel and this is the age of steel.” Mr. Carnegie advocates a reduction of dutles all along the line on every- thing except wines, whisky, beer and tobaceo, which he calls “luxuries of the rich.” STUDENTS 'IN FREE FIGHT Germans and ltalians in Serious Clash at Trieste. Vienna, Nov. 24—The German and Italian students attending the Univer- sity of Vienna came into serious col- lision in the university precincts and before the police drove the demon- strators away revolvers had been freely’ used and several young men ‘wounded. The trouble was occasioned by an Italian demonstration in favor of the establishment of an Italian university at Trieste. To this the German speak- ing students objected and they promptly organized a counter demon- stration. The opposing factions to- talled 1,200 men and they sang them- selves into the fight with stirring pa- triotic airs, the Italians using the Garibaldi hymn and the Germans the “Watch on the Rhine.” The Italians were driven from the building and gathered in the street outside. At this stage the police appeared. JENKINS PLACED ON TRIAL Brooklyn Banker Faces Charge of Grand Larceny. New York, Nov. 24—John G. Jen- kins, Jr, formerly president of the Jenkins Trust company of Brooklyn, who failed during the financial panic of 1907, was put on trial in Brooklyn charged with the larcery of $50,000. It is alleged that while president of the trust company he misappropri- ated $50,000 of its funds by transfer- ring it to the firm of Frank & J. T. Jenkins, Jr., of which he was a mem- ber. This firm was engaged in stock brokerage. Jénkins is a member of a family of bankers who were well and widely known: before the financial crash of last year. His father, who was pres- ident of the First National bank of Brooklyn, which went into the hands of a receiver during the panic, died subsequent to that event. Sells Half Interest in Paper. St. Paul, Nov. 24.—George Thomp- son, for twenty-four years proprietor of the St. Paul Dispatch, announces that he has sold a half interest in it to Charles H. Grasty, who last March sold his Baltimore News to Frank A. Munsey. Before going to Baltimore Mr. Grasty was managing editor and business manager of the Kansas City Times. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Grasty have been assoclated for many years as directors of the Assoclated Press. WOMAN SLAYS INTRUDER Business Man Alleged to Have En- tered Home of Widow. ~ Dublin, Ga.,, Nov. 24—Mrs. Rosie Davis, a handsome young widow, de- fending herself from’ attack, shot W. L. Tillery, a leading business man. Her assailant died in a few hours. The tragedy occurred at the home of Mrs. Davis in the suburbs of Dub: lin. According to Mrs. Davis she was alone and heard some one knock about 9 o’clock in the evening. The man broke through the screen door and rushed at Mrs. Davis. As he seized her in his arms she fired, the bullet striking him near the heart. Neighhors who rushed in found that he was Tillery, but disguised so as to be almost unrecognizable. Tillery re- fused to make any statement. Friends allege he was insane, Mrs. Davis is young, wealthy and prominent socially. She has been a widow eight months. It is believed she ‘will_not be prosecuted. FIRE ON GERMAN BALLOON Russian Frontier Guards Make Target of Airship. Breslau, Nov. 24—A German bal- loon that passed over Russian terri- tory was firad on by Russian frontier guards. Nec less than fifteen shots were fired aud this in spite of the fact that the balloon was flying the Ger- man flag. The bullets hissed all arcund the airship and one of them pierced a sack of ballast and was im- bedded in the sand. The aeronauts made a hurried descent and succeed- ed in landing on German territory. They were not hurt. The balloon belonged to the Silesian Aero club. The ascent was made from here. After a voyage of several hours the aeronauts approached the frontier in the vicinity of Zerkow and it was here that the firing took place. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

Call for Mrs. McCon- nell.” ‘With the exception of one witness, Dr. Haines of Chicago, the defense in the trial of Ray Lamphere for the alleged murder of Mrs. Gunness and her three children finished its case. A recess was then taken owing to the inability of Dr. Haines to get here for the day’s session. Evidence to prove that an automo- bile was seen to go-down the Gunness road on the morning of the fire and evidence also to show that the fire had been seen as early as 3 o’clock were offered. The defense contends that the fire was started before 3 o'clock and that, admitting that Lam- phere left the Smith house at 3:20 as claimed by the state, he could not possibly have fired the house.
