v SEGOND BANK TO BE STARTED AT THE FALLS A. P, White, John Cowan and W. E. Feeney Considering Advisability of Establishing New Bank. John Cowan of Northome and W. E. Feeney of Maple Lake, the gentle- | men interested with Mr. White of | Bemidji in starting the Northern National bank at this place, were in town the first of the week to give Feeney an opportunity to look over the situation. They informed John Berg that they would close their $5, | 000 option on the front sixty feet of his twenty-five-foot corner lot and would return on Wednesday of next week and complete the deal, and make arrangements for a place in which to do business until they can | erect a fine two-story brick building on the lot of which they are to be-| come the owners. The gentlemen | are enthusiastic over the future of! International Falls, and will give; substantial evidence of their faith by | paying the highest price for which a piece of local frontage has been sold and erecting on the same a modern two-story office and bank buiiding. The Northern National bank will have one of the best locations in the | town, and will no doubt secure its full share of the prosperity which is in store for Internaiional Falls.—In- ternational Falls Echo. A. P. White, president of the Lumbermens National Bank of this city, who is the Mr. White referred to in the above article, had a consul- tation in this city Saturday with Messrs. Cowan and Feeney, and the gentlemen did not come to any defi- nite conclusion as to the proposition of starting the bank at the “Falls.” Mr. White says that if the parties who are reported as starting another bank at the boundary town have gone so far that the second financial intitution is assured for that place, it is hardly likely that he and his associates will put in a third bank. However, he will go to St. Paul sometime this week, and after return- ing from the “Saintly City” visit, he will probably be able to decide definitely. . 1909 - Diaries.

Chris Nelson of Maple Bay passed through the city yesterday on his way to Kelliher, where he is assisting his brother to get out a quantity of saw logs this winter. Mr. Nelson was just returning from the burial services of his little son, Melvin, who was drowned in Maple Bay November 21. Mr. Nel- son states that the little boy, 6 years of age, in company with another boy 12 years of age, went to the post- office for the mail and were cau- ioned not to go on the ice. On their way home the ‘t’mys “followed the lake shore for consider- able distance, figuring that they could save considerable time by crossing the narrows. The younger boy was across the narrows when be heard the elder boy’s cry for help and turned back to help his com- panion. The elder boy was saved, but in rescuing him the little fellow was unable to save himself. He made a desperate attempt, the ice breaking- under him four different times after he had succeeded in getting out of the water. — MINNESOTA SUITS HIM BETTER THAN IN CANADA An OhioFarmer Who Bought Land in Canada Returns “‘Across the Line.” The experiences of a farmer named Stevens from Ohio have a significent bearing upon Federation of Commer- cial Clubs campaign for $100,000 for the better advertising of Min- nesota. While enroute to Western Canada three months ago, state officers who met him accidently as he was pass- ing through St. Paul, told him of the richness of the soil and the splendid climate of the Red River valley and asked him why he wished to travel 1,000 miles further when he could get the richest land in the world here in Minnesota. He failed to appreciate their argu- ments and bought Canada land. A letter just received by one of the state officers brings word that he is back in Minnesota, has bought a fine farm in the lower Red River valley, after the sudden sale of his recently acquired Canadian farm, and is more than satisfied. “I tried it up there,” he says in his letter, “but Minnesota suits me better. I have had the experience. Now I am content to settie down in a good country tostay. Minnesota suits me right down to the ground and if I can’t make money here, I can’t make it anywhere.” Committed To Insane Asylum. Jonas Bloomquist of Baudette was brought in yesterday and taken be- fore an insanity board, composed of Judge of Probate Clark and Doctors Henderson and Blakeslee. The board decided that Bloomquist is insane and Judge Clark committed him to the state asylum for the in- sane at Fergus Falls. Deputy Sheriff Andrew Johnson of this city departed on the.west- bound passenger train yesterday afternoon in charge of Bloomquist whom he took to Fergus Falls. Burns Arrives at the Coliseum. Mr. Burns arrived from Hibbing last evening where he introduced the grand march/and different styles of dancing on roller skates that made a name for him with the people of the Range. Mr. Burns as his open-| ing feature in Bemidji will introduce | the grand march and different styles} of dancing at the Roller Rink thisx evening. A complete line of 1909 dairies; may be seen at this office. { Firemen Will Give Dance. Secretary Halvorson of the Bemidji fire department, reports that two candidates were taken jn to the department at the meeting last Wednesday evening.

In Persia two sticks a foot long are. placed in the coffin to prop up the arms of the corpse when it rises from the grave and is being questioned by the angel Gabriel. After it has satls- fed the angel that it is the body of & true Mussulman it will receive strength to stand alone. A glance from a dog Is necessary to drive away the spirit of defilement, and for this pur- pose a street cur is brought into the room of death and Its eyes led to the corpse by a tempting bit of bread laid on the still breast. Memory Training. If men only realized how great an asset in life is a retentive memory they would take care to see that their chil- dren’s were properly trained. The simplest method consists in learning every day a few lines by heart. None of our faculties can be trained so easily as that of memory.—Stuttgart Familienblatt. Her Choice. “What would you do, dear, if T were to die?” asked Mrs. Darley fondly. “l don’t know,” replied Darley thoughtfully. “Which is your choice— burial or cremation ?"—London Mail.

One of the most astonishing objects 1 in the heavens, especially when photo- graphed, is the great nebula in the constellation Andromeda, which is vis- ible as a misty speck to the naked eye. It has long puzzled astronomers, be- cause while its structure—a series of vast rings surrounding a central mass —Buggests a gaseous constitution, its spectrum is continuous, resembling that of the sun. It has been suggested that it may be composed of stars con- stituting a universe external to ours. Recent studies of its parallax, how- ever, indicate that it s nearer to us than some of the well known -stars, such as Capella, and Mr. J. Ellard Gore, the English astronomer, points out that if the Andromeda nebula were assumed to be an external uni- verse, having a diandier comparable with that of the Milky way, its mass would be forty million million million times the mass of the sun. This is regarded as incredible and so may be taken as an additional argument in favor of the view that this nebula is a member of our system.—Youth’s Companion. There is a curious superstition com- mon to Shetlanders and Cingalese. How islanders so wide apart—some 15,000 miles—managed to adopt each other’s views one does not know, but here is the fact. The rice cultivators of Ceylon and the fishermen of Shet- land resemble each other in one or two rather remarkable points. They re- frain from speaking of the implements of thelr calling by their names. They call them something else, by names known only to themselves. The reason is that if the evil spirit were to think that they were speaking of spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to appropriate them. The train of thought is the same with both races: “There is an evil spirit always on the lookout for opportunities of doing mis- chief. He even hears what we say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our implements and tools, we shall direct his attention to them and shall suggest to him a way of doing an injury. Therefore we will agree to call a boat or a spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves.” Coronets. The coronet of a duke consists of al- ternate crosses and leaves, the leaves being a representation of the leaves of the parsley plant. The princes of the blood royal also wear a similar crown. The state headgear of a marquis con- sists of a diadem surrounded by flow- ers and pearls placed alternately. An earl, however, has neither flowers nor leaves surmounting his circlet, but only points rising, each with a pearl on the top. A viscount has neither flowers nor points, but only the plain circlet adorned with pearls, which, regardless of number, are placed on the crown it- self. A baron has only six pearls on the golden border, not rafsed, to dis- tinguish him from ‘an'earl, and the number of pearls render his diadem distinet from that of a viscount. A Bit of Blue Sky. Professor John Tyndall, who, with many great gifts, possessed a singular skill in devising and conducting beau- tiful experimental illustrations, actual- Iy preduced in 1869 a bit of blue sky in the lecture room. In a glass tube three feet in length and three inches in diameter he exhausted the air until it was less than one-tenth the density of the atmosphere we'breathe and repre- sented the rarer air high overhead. Into this exhausted air he introduced nitrite of butyle vapor, which is ex- tremely volatile. Then a strong beam of light in a room otherwise dark was passed through the mixture, and in the glass tube there glowed a beautiful blue cloud, rivaling in color the finest Italian sky. Here was blue sky brought down to earth. According to History. A woman who belongs to a com- munity called the Sisters of St. John the Baptist not long ago spent a month in a backwoods district.- Shortly after her arrival she went to the local post- office and inquired if any letters had come for Sister Bernardine. The rural postmaster looked bewildered. “Sister who?” he asked incredulously. “Sister Bernardine,’ repeated the lady, “a sister of St. John the Bap- tist.” “I think not " he answered. Then, after some reflection, he added, “‘Say, ain’t he been dead pretty near a hun- dred years now?"—Harper's Weekly. Her Limitations. “These planos look tgo cheap,” said the young woman, her brows contract- ing slightly. “Show me some of the best you've got.” “Yes, ma'am,”. sald the salesman. “May I ask how high you care to go?” “Me? Ob, I only go to G, but I want one with all the octaves just the same.”—Chicago Tribune. Let Him Try. “I fear no foe in shining armor,” sang the man at a concert. “Don’t you, old chap?’ grumbled the bachelor in the front row. “Then you try to open a sardine box with a pocket- knife.”” One Secret. Lawyer—I must know the whole truth before I can successfully defend you. Have you told me everything? Prisoner—Except where I hid the mon- ey. I want that for myself. He Knew. “I suppose you know why you are here?” asked the judge severely. “Yes, sir,” answered the prisoner. “I wuz drug here.”—Birmingham Age- Herald. At the End of the Voyage. Jonah disembarked. “The only trip I don’t have to tip the steward,” he exclaimed. Therewith he regarded the whale half approvingly.—New York Sun. Different Points of View. “It's hard to be poor,” sighed the secdy pessimist. “That's queer,” replied the ragged optimist. “I always found it easy enough.” Successful guilt 18 the bane of so- Ideal Gifts for Christmas .

Near the Lake His Idea of the English. The following illustrates Louis Phi- lippe’s idea of England and the Eng- lish. He one day asked Hugo If he had ever been In England and on re- ceiving a negative reply continued: “Well, when you do go—for yon will go—you will see how strange it 1s. It resembles France in nothing. Over there are order, arrangement, symme- try, cleanliness, well mowed lawns and profound silence on the streets. The passersby are as serious and as mute as specters. When, being French and allve, you speak in the street these specters look back at you and murmur with an inexpressible mixture of grav- ity and disdain, ‘F'rench people! When I was in London I was walking arm In arm with my wife and sister. We ‘were conversing in a not too loud tone of voice, for we are well bred persons, you know, yet all the passersby, bour- geois and men of the people, turned to gaze at us, and we could hear them !” growling behind us: ‘French people! French people! ”—“Memoirs of Victor Hugo.” Rossini and the Drum. When Rossini's “Gazza Ladra” was performed for the first time the drum in the orchestra not only excited much comment, but caused the enemies of the composer, whom they denounced as a “foolish inventor of unmusical novelties,” to threaten Rossini with bodily violence. One young man, a pupil of Rolla’s, gained admission to the composer’s presence and declared that art had been so violently outraged by the invention that he must kill the offender. He drew a weapon, but con- sented to listen to argument, He had been a soldier, and when the composer asked him why there should not be a drum where there are soldiers he sheathed his knife. “Promise me, though,” he said, “that you will put no drums in your future music.” Ros- sinl promised, but forgot. London In 1784. In 1784 M. La Combe published a book entitled “A Picture of London,” In which, inter alia; he says, “The highroads thirty or forty miles round London are filled with armed highway- men and footpads.” This was then pretty true, though the expression “filled” Is somewhat of an exaggera- tion. The medical student of fifty or more years ago seems to have been an- ticipated in 1784, for M. La Combe tells us that “the brass knockers of doors, which cost from 12 shillings to 15 shil- lngs, are stolen at night If the maid forgets to unscrew them,” a precaution which seems to have gone out of fash- fon. M. La Combe in another part of his book exclaims: “How are you changed, Londoners! Your women are become bold, imperious and expensive. Bank- rupts and beggars, coiners, spies and informers, robbers and pickpockets abound. The baker mixes alum in his bread. The brewer puts opium and copper filling in his beer. The milk- woman spoils her milk with snails.” The Blood Red Banner. Royal and national colors vary with. nations and times, but since Cain slew Abel blood red has been the sign of re- volt. In the earliest revolt known to history, when the Persians rose against their king 4,000 years ago, they were led by a blood red banner, and during the riots which took place in Paris the men in the blood red caps were fol- lowed by the mob. A blood red flag waved over Bunker Hill when the Americans fought for liberty, and it ‘was the emblem of the German peas- ants in their great uprisings in 1424, 1492 and 1525. Blood red was the col- or of the trades union flags during the 'middle ages, and it framed the back- ground of the emblem of the Swiss confederacy jin 1315. . Through the : whole of T'refich and’ every oiler na’ tlonal history those striking in their own ways for liberty bave worn the blood red cap and bhailed the blood red banuer as their leader. It is a curious fact that never has a monarch chosen | It as his color.—London Answers. Naive Lying. | A police official of New York, discuss- | ing the case of a policeman found ! guilty of protecting gambling houses, said: { “The man lied too naively in defense of his innocence. He was like a car- penter employed by a newspaper friend of mine. My newspaper friend writes a good deal at home, and, his study being nest to the nursery, the chil- dren’s noise disturbed him, and he em- ployed a carpenter to make the wall sound proof between the two rooms. ‘I'll fix it all right, said the carpenter confidently. ‘The best thing to do will be to line it with shavings’ He com- pleted his job, then he called the liter- ary man in. ‘She’s sound proof all right | now,’ he said. ‘We'll test her,’ said the literary man. ‘You stay here’ And, going Into the nursery, he called to the carpenter In the study, ‘Can you hear me? ‘No, sir; I can’t; was the prompt reply.”—New York Tribune. Was Entitled to Trouble. 1 Lord Palmerston and Sir J. Paget, ‘who told the story, were walking down | Bond street. A man came up and saluted the statesman. “How do you do, Lord Palmerston?” | “Ah, how do? Glad to see you. | How's the old complaint?” | The stranger’s face clouded over, and | | be shook his head. “No better.” “Dear me! So sorry! Glad to have met you. Goodby.” “Who's your friend?’ asked Sir James when the stranger had gone. “No idea.” | “Why, you asked him about his old complaint.” “Pooh, pooh!” replied the other un- concernedly. “The old fellow’s well over sixty; bound to have something the matter with him.”—London Globe.’ The Archbishop Won. Dr. Whately, some time archbishop | of Dublin, once had an encounter with i & young aid-de-camp, and the primate emerged victor, At dinner the soldier asked this singular question, “Does | your grace know the difference be- tween an archbishop and an ass?’| “Sir, 1 do pot,” answered Dr. Whately. | “One wears the cross on his miter and the other wears it on his back!” ex- plained the tactless officer. “Do you know the difference between an aid- de-camp and an ass?” asked the arch- bishop calmly in return. “No, your grace, I do not,” was the reply. “Nei- ther do I!” saild his grace.—Liverpool Mercury.
