et | | § ! | COMMERGIAL GLUBS WILL MEET THURSDAY-FRIDAY State Federation, in Annual Session at St. Paul, Will Discuss Many Mo- mentous Matters. The second annual meeting of the Minnesota Federation of Commer- cial clubs will be held in St. Paul next Thursddy and Friday, January 14 and 15. At that time delegates from the different commercial clubs of the state will be guests of the St. Paul Commercial club, where the meeting will be held. The St. Paul Commercial Club have commodious quarters in the Germania Life building, which is located on the corner of Fourth and Minnesota streets. Each club is entitled to two dele- gates, therefore the city of Bemidji will be entitled to two delegates from the Commercial club and two delegates from the Metropolitan club, and the members of these organizations who expect to be in St. Paul at that time this week should procure credentials from the secretaries of their respective clubs. The object of the Federation is set forth in its constitution and the work done by this organization is to advertise the state’s resources throughout the United States, thus encouraging immigration as well as advertising her beautiful lakes,there- by securing her share of the summer tourist trade. An excellent program along this line has been prepared for the oc- casion, which is as follows: Jan. 14, 1909, 10 a. m.

The largest and best line of 1909 diaries ever carried in this part of the state can now be seen at the Pioneer office. _We have made special efforts ot secure the largest assortment ever shown in the northwest. Those who want special kinds should call early and make their selection. Good Advice. Never forget the advice of Themis- focles. Said that ancient, “I would be- stow my daughter upon a man without money, but not upon money without a man.” Just change money for title and see the different reading: “I would bestow my daughter upon a man with- out title, but not upon title without & man.”—New York Press. Willing to Help. Tramp—Can you assist me along flu road, mum? Lady of the House—Per+ gonally I cannot, but I will unchain my dog, and I knuw he wfll be most pleased todoso. - When Waking Up: Here 18 a bit of intormnqon it will pay you to keep ready for reference, though you will perhaps turn up your nose at it at the first reading: “How to wake up and wake up fully and quickly, Most- people prefer not to wake up in the morning—that is, they think of the pleasure there would be in just five minutes’ more of sleep if only that alarm clock had not sound- ed its warning. Of course you have to get up, and if there is really any- thing that will.make the job easier and more pleasant you will want to know about it. Doctors have long ago agreed that dullness on first awakening in the ‘morning is due to sluggish circu- lation of the blood in the brain. This can be quickly overcome by massaging the ‘neck in the neighborhood of the jugular vein, thus stirring the blood to life and action. Rub your neck well on both sides and drowsiness will leave you. Try it”’—New York Times. Happy Eithsr Way. The old Duke of Norfolk, who was & very shabby dresser, met a privileged friend in Bond street, London. Said the privileged friend, a military man of the premier duke's own age: “Why, duke, what's come to your clothes? You look as if you had raked over your rag bag to find them!” The duke. replied, with a shrug: “What does it matter what I wear here? No one knows me!” A few months later the same friend, himself always a well dressed man, met the duke again, pot- tering about in the neighborhood of Arundel, the delightful Sussex village under a hill crowned by the castle from whose name the eldest son of a Duke of Norfolk always takes his “courtesy” title—Earl of Arundel. “Why, duke,” said his friend again, “what's the matter with your clothes?” The duke shrugged his shoulders again. “What does it matter what I wear here? Every one knows me!” German Lotteries. In an article on the lotteries the Ber- liner Tageblatt says there are three ways by which wealth is acquired—by work, which is long and tedious; by dishonesty, which is a precarious pro- ceeding, and by gambling. The num- ber of persons who prefer the last named method, says the writer, is large in the German realm, for there the great lotteries thrive best. There are seven of these under the manage- ment of the government, and they dis- tribute $160,000,000 in prizes. The anx- fety to secure a part of this amount has destroyed the happiness of thou- sands of households and has diverted thousands of good men from honest industry and thrift to idleness and poverty. In the seven lotteries there are about 22,000 winners a year, but of these only ahout 650 receive prizes of more than 1,000 marks each. How the Culprit Was Detected. Of a certain Harrow master whom Mr. Tollemache in his reminiscences refers to as Mr. Y. the following story is told. Dr. Vaughan was master of Harrow at the time: “Mr. Y.—I am sorry, Dr. Vaughan, to have to report to you two of your monitors for drinking. Dr. V.—This is a very serious charge. When and where did it happen? Mr. Y.—This afternoon in a public house in Pinner. Dr. V—Did you catch them flagrante delicto? Mr. Y.—No, Dr: Vaughan, I was in my study. Dr. V.—But surely you cannot possibly have seen from your study to Pinner? Mr. Y.—I have a strong telescope, Dr. Vaughan. Dr. V.—But how can you tell that it was not water they were drinking? Mr. Y. —It was gin and water. I noticed a sediment of sugar at the bottom of their glasses. Between Tears and Laughter. “Do you ever think, George, dear,” sald she, and her voice was soft and low, as befitted the perfect beauty of the night, “do you ever think how closely true happiness is allied with tears?” “I don’t believe I ever do,” admitted George dear, “but I will, if you like.” “Yes,” she went on, gazing up into his face, and her lips were very close to his, “when one is truly and wholly happy, George, dear, there is but little to divide a smile and a tear.” “Well, that's a fact,” assented George dear. “But I never thought of it before. After all, there’s nothing but the nose.”—London Answers. A One Sided Complaint. “This is the seventeenth time I've seen you before me in the dock,” said a magistrate, looking at a prisoner sternly. “Yes. For eight years now I've seen you sltting in the chair, but I've never thought of complaining about it!” re- plied the prisoner reproachfully.—Lon- don Telegraph. Mixed Praise. Customer—Why, I thought you call- ed him “the colt?” Ostler—Sure, yer honor, and that’s the name he’s had for the last twenty years, and he sticks to it like a respectable baste, the same as yourself.—London Punch. Then She'll Tell You. “Tell me,” said the lovesick youth, “what’s the best way to find out what a woman thinks of you.” “Marry her,” replied Peckham promptly.—Philadelphia Press. 5 The Cause. Wife—What was the matter? I thought you would break down the house. Husband—I dreamed I was trying to put on my clothes in the up- per berth of a Pullman.—Life. More than 4,000,000 persons living in 100 cities obtain water for domestic and industrial purposes from the great lakes. An Irish Tale. One day an Irishman, having put his hat upon a gate post by which he lay down to sleep, sprang up at midnight and, mistaking the object for an en- emy, dealt it a desperate cut with his scythe. Percelying his mistake, the man gave thanks to heaven that he had taken it off before lying down. “For,” said he, “had my head been in that hat, ’tis ten to one I had laid it open with my scythe, and 'tis a dead man I would have been seein’ mesilf at this minute|”—London Captain. ST “ " The Devilfish fn-Actlon. A naturalist who observed devil- fishes in actlon says that he thought no more diabolical creature could be imagined. 'They; resembled enormous bats andin following one anether around in/a circle raised the outer tip of one of the long winglike fins high out of (the fwater in a graceful curve, the other' being deeply submerged. They might be seen now gliding down with a fiying motion of the wings, sweeping, gyrating upward with a twisting vertical' motion marvelous in its perfect grace; now .they flashed ‘white, again black, so that one would say they were rolling over and over, turning somersaults. While swimming along the two great arms or feelers of the devilfish are whirled about in constant motion, like the tentacles of a squid. When ‘these tentacles come in contact “with anything they close upon it. It s generally believed that this clasping, althongh at times doing considerable harm to fishermen and their. boats, is largely automatic and shat, upon the whole, the devilfish is timid rather than a fighter. The Rust of Custom. The bitterness toward innovation is Just the same in an army as out of it, but perhaps with more reason. A new thing cannot possibly be accepted un- til it has proved itself better than that which it displaces.- The first cannons were possibly rejected, and the Chris- tian inventor took®them to the Turk, who used them at the siege of Con- stantinople. The first firearms were bitterly opposed because they destroy- ed the soldierly bearing of the troops. The British navy strenuously objected to the first large guns because one charge would cost as much as one of Nelson’s broadsides. = Ericsson’s Mon- itor met with more opposition in ‘Washington than it did in Hampton Roads. At the outbreak of the civil war it is said that congress ordered the adoption of the new weapon, over the objection of the chief of ordnance, who kept a specimen of the old one in his office to show visitors how-good it was.—Army and Navy Life. Living Lights of the Sea. One of the marine curiosities fished from the bottom of the Indian ocean by a dredging vessel chartered by the Calcutta Soclety of Natural History was a mammoth sea crab, which con- tinually emitted a bright white light, similar to that seen in the spasmodic flashes of phosphorescent luminosity kindled by the common fireflies. The oddity was captured in daytime and placed in a large tank, nothing pecul- far except its immense size being no- ticeable in the broad glare of the tropical sun. At night, however, when all was in pitchy darkness, the crab surprised the naturalists by lighting up the tank so that all the other sea creatures, great and small, occupying the same tank could be plainly seen. When the luminous crustacean was prodded with a pole he emitted flashes of light, which eénabled the experl- menters to read small print, even though otherwise they were in total durkness.—boqdon Chronicle. He Was’ G The gréat Irish aglubor, Daniel 0'Connell, wis at one time defending a man accused of murder at Clonmel. The circumstantial evidence was so strong against the prisoner that the jury had already determined upon their verdict of gullty, when the man supposed to hdve been murdered was brought into court, alive and unhurt. The jury were desired to return their verdict at once, and they did so, but it ‘was one of guilty. “What!” exclaimed the astonished judge. “What does this -mean? If the man has not been murdered how can the prisoner be guilty?” “Please, your honor,” said the fore- man, “he’s guilty. He stole my bay mare thrée years ago.”—Omaha World- Herald. Grote and His Wife. The wife of the historlan Grote must have been an extraordinary wo- man. She rode without a saddle, she was not afraid to put off in a boat without a man, and she was plucky enough to marry her lover without permission and“return home without saying a word abost it. Sydney Smith described this lady and her lord in his happy fashion, “I do like themboth 8o much, for he is ladylike, and sheis a perfect gentleman.” Sartorial Monstrosities. There are men’ we meet every day who take such -sartorial liberties as almost drive one to despair, 'We have to tolerate such:.monstrous combina- tlons as brown boots and frock coats, silk hats and lounge suits and frock coats and bowlers, and we are- even nerving ourselves to the expectation of seeing a kilted -highlander in a silk “topper.”—London Outfitter. Practical. “A young man has telegraphed me that he has just® wedded my daugh- ter.” “I hope he’s a good practical man.” “I guess he is.:. He wired me col- lect.”—Kansas' City Independent. Reached :Too Far. “Yes,” said the bankrupt, “I lost my fortune reaching for an ideal.” “Very Interesflng. And what was your ideal?” - “A bigger fortune than I had.”— Philadelphia Ledger. Desirable Contributions. Bulzer—Pennster told me that the best magazines were clamoring for his contributions. . Knolorham—No won- der. He writes full page ads.—Lippin- cott’s. Ambition, like a torrent. ne'er look- back.—Ben Jonson. ¢ Foiled. “AhY” sald Bragley, with a view te making Miss Wise jealous. “1 was alone last evening with some one I ad- mire very much.” = “AR!” echoed the bright girl. “Alone, were you?’—Philadelphia Press. A Losing Scheme. “They tell me that poor Jolly is & victim of his own good fellowship.” “That's so. He lost his own health in drinking other people's.”—Baltimore Y. ' “About the most resourceful youn, person I've encountered in the real es- tate line aid a Pltmbnrg ‘man, “came from Ohlo. He secured a place with a real estate firm. The second evening he was in town one of his co-workers introduced him to an evening gather- Ing &t the house of a well known merchant. The company, learning that the newcomer possessed a voice, invit- ed him to sing. He responded with ‘Home, Sweet Home." “Everybody was surprised at his se- lection, but as it was well done he was heartily applauded. Then he sur- prised them some more. “Stepping forward to the center of the room, he said: ““I'm glad you liked the song., There 18 nothing like “Home, Sweet Home,” and let me say that our firm 18 selling them on terms to suit and within twelve miles of the city. If you don’t care to live there the fact yet remains that 1t’s the ¢hance of your life for an investmen "’—Kannn City Independ- ent. ‘The Millers. “If'you want to hear some guessing wide of the mark ask some one what be would think might be the third most common hame in New York city,” says the New York Sun. “The probability is the correct answer will never be made uhless some one has happened to alight on some such bit of information. The fact is that, ac- cording to the best available authorl- tles the name Miller ranks third, Smith holding first place and Brown ‘second. It seems almost incredible, but as a matter of fact the name Mil- ler stands well to the head of the list of names most frequently met with in the four largest cities in the coun- try. It stands second in Philadelphia, third in New York clty and fourth in Chicago, while the name Jones is way down in the list, holding the eleventh place in New York city and the thir- teenth in Boston, with such names as Clark, Williams, White and other names never considered common pre- ceding it.” - Teaching the Royal Salute. Crossing the deck of the Kalser Wil- helm II royal yacht with a large mug of beer in his hand, one of the sailors was startled by the sudden appearance of his royal master. He made a most clumsy attempt to salute with his free hand, while his anxiety to prevent the beer spilling amused his majesty. “Look here,” said the latter, ‘“you didn’t do that right. Let me show you how it ought to be done.” Telling the man to fancy that he was the em- peror, who was to be saluted, the kai- ser took the mug and retreated a few paces. Then, coming forward again, stopping opposite to the sailor, he held the mug to his lips, drained it, put it down on the deck and gave the salute with military precision. “That’s- the way to do it,” he remarked to the as- tonished seaman. “Now go down- stairs and tell them to fill the mug up again and give you one for yourself. Say it was I who drank it.” Brain and Muscle. According to Miss Loane, the author of “From Their Point of View,” more men are tramps.and more women are miserable housewives if married or underpaid slaves if single because they cannot or will not use their brain power than because they are too lazy for hard bodily labor. The amount of purely ubintellectual drudgery dimin- ishes every year and the demand for intelligent workers increases. The author had one woman patient, a worker among London poor, a chron- {ic sufferer, who managed to keep house and children in far more perfect order than vigorous neighbors always scrub- bing and scouring. She was once asked how she contrived to do this, and she replied: “I makes my mind do three parts of it. It isn’t so much what I does, but what I stops from having did.” Old Laws. There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be un- loaded between .certain hours, but no mention 'is made of casks containing any other liquor. ) Lucerne has on its statute books a law which is not enforced. It prohib- its hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artifl- clal flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of 75 cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear rib- ‘bons or silk or gauze. Sowing For Them. As a countryman was sowing his ground two smart fellows ‘were riding that way, and one of them called to him with an insolent air, “Well, honest fellow,” sald he, “’tis your business to sow, but we reap the fruts of your labor,” to which the countryman re- plied, “’Tis very like you may, for I am sowing hemp.”—Catholic News. Cab Wit. The French have an expression about “cab wit”—that is, a Frenchman returning from a party and alone in his cab thinks of lots of clever things he might have said. Theré is a great deal of cab’ wit outside of ll‘rnnce. Atchison Globe. Chicken Cheese. Boil two chickens until tender, take out all bones and chop the meat fine.

That'll show her.”—Phil- jdelphia Bulletin. Crafty Master Fox. A fox was one day seen coming out of a pile of stones near-the water- side. He hid In ‘the heather -for awhile and then pushed out some- thing on the water, which proved to be a bunch of moss. The wind took It into the middle of the lake and blew it past some ducks sitting on the surface. Having watched his venture for perhaps ten minutes with appar- ent satisfaction and observed tHat it neared the ducks without arcusing their suspicions, our friend began to collect another and larger bunch of moss, which he allowed to float in the same direction, but this time he swam behind it, taking care to show only his eyes and nose above water. Just as 1t was passing the group of ducks he made a sudden dive, pulled down a bird and swam back to shore under- water. Arrived there, he carried the duck to the pile of heather, where his wife and daughter were no doubt waiting to enjoy the frults of his la- bors.—“Forty-five Years of Sport.” Some Troubles of a Pianist. Harold Bauer, the pianist, has had some curious experiences during his travels. While playing in Barcelopa he was challenged to fight a duel' by an ex- cited member of the audience whom he had reproved for disturbing the re- cital by his noisy conduct. On another occasion, in Italy, he had to be car- ried through an underground tunnel to escape the attentions of frantic ad- mirers. . One of his most extraordinary expe- riences was in Russia. It was'in 2 little town near Moscow, and in the middle of his performance the pianist was arrested by the police on the grounds that he was obtaining money under false pretenses. The police ac- tion was based on the grounds that a Hungarian dance appeared on the pro- gram and that there were no dancers. They overlooked the terrible fact that Mr. Bauer had played two marches without a single soldier being present. —Cincinnati Tribune. Mrs. Fyffe Declined. Some years ago it was decided by the navy department that the pres- ence of the wives of the naval officers at the Aslatic.station detracted too much from their official duties. So a general order was issued to the fleet directing that the wives be sent home. ‘Admiral Fyffe, who was in command of the fleet, received the order in due time, and it came back to the navy de- partment indorsed as follows: 1st.
