It is said that persons who are vitally interested in'the success of the village of Cass Lake in its fight for the location of the proposed sixth state normal school have of late repeatedly circulated the rumor that Bemidii is “moving heaven and earth,” so to speak, in attempting to secure a third judge for this (the Fifteenth) Judicial district, and that the alleged movement for the jukgeship was superceding the fight which Bemidji is putting up to se- cure the normal school for this city, should the legislature decide to locate a school at some point in northern Minnesota. This rumor is doing Bemidjia great injustice. This city is not especially interested in the naming of a third judge for the Fifteenth Judicial district, nor is Bemidji making any concerted effort to effect the proposed measure, either way. While it is probable that a third judge is needed, that is a matter which interests the people of the entire Fifteenth Judicial district, which includes Cass county and the village of Cass Lake, fully as much as Beltrami county and the city of Bemidji. Eight northern Minnesota counties are embraced in the Fif- teenth Judicial district, and the fact that Representative Ferguson (an associate of Representative Mc- Garry in the legislature) has intro- duced the bill for the third judge, and that Senator Alderman of Brainerd will father the bill in the senate should indicate who is responsible for the third judge idea. It is intimated that Judge Stanton will be appointed as third judge, if one is provided for, and that as he now lives in Bemidji, this city is greatly concerned. Judge Stanton has been a resident of Bemidji since he was appointed judge; prior to that time he lived in International Falls— and what assurances are there that he would live in Bemidji, should he be appointed third judge? Monkeys Like Scrapping. “Monkeys are in a class by them- selves,” said the circus man. “If one of them has red hair he is sure to be a dandy scrapper. The best fighter 1s always the leader. They hang togeth- er and bow and scrape before the bogs Just ke a good many people. Mon- keys with red faces and flat heads will whip the life out of those smalier than they are, but will run like the wind when it comes to an even break. A monkey riot Is a funny spectacle. Even in the same cage you will find groups herded together as if there was some class distinction and the lines were drawn tightly. If two of the big onés come together in a row the others gen- erally stand off and let them have it out, but if any of the little ones get to scrapping then the father and mother are apt to mix in, and the next step is a general row. We separate them by turning on the hose and punish them by locking up the den so that they can- not get any peanuts from the crowd and hold back their meals. This plan puts them on their good behavior for awhile at least. The monkey likes to e s Slightly Mixed. They had just set up housekeeylng and were working on the plan of econ- omy. The bathtub needed a coat of wvarnish. He promised to attend to it 1f she would order the varnish. “You'll find the varnish in the closet with the groceries, dear,” she sald & day or so later, “and the can opener in the knife drawer.” He opened the can and, nccorfllng to his contract, applied the coat of varnish and then left it to dry. r The soup for dinner that day had %o be abandoned, for somehow It pos- sessed a peculiar paint shop odor that ‘was nauseating. After dinner he togk her to inspect his work on the bath- tab. Now that it had dried it had a certain unnatural appearance. The top and sides were streaked, and here and there little lumps clung to it. “The man said that was the best varnish,” she explained, taking up the can of varnigsh for an examination, “but—why, dear, you have varnished the bathtub ‘with the ox tail soup!” “Then it was the varnish we ate, dear,” he added, horror strlcken.-— Lippincott’s. A Model Hotel “Boots.” It was In a Dublin hotel, and as I closed the bedroom door, says a writer In the Manchester Guardian, I noticed that the end of one of my boot laces 'was inside the room, the boot to which 1t was attached having been placed as usual outside. When I awoke next morning the boot lace end was still there, and I opened the door expec to find that the boots had not been oleaned, but I was wrong. A very careful hotel servant, a very model among “boots,” had found the lace tightly gripped by the door and rather than disturb me had carefully removed it from the lace holes and carried away the boot. -Presently I heard a quiet nolse outside the door. The model boots had brought my boots back again and was industriously re- lacing that one which he had uniaced. The Hat and the Title.. There is an-amusing English defin- tion of “gentleman.” It is “a man who wears a silk hat and if he has no other title insists upon having ‘Esq.” added to hls name when letters are addressed to him.” The west end Londoner of socfal pretensions accepts this definition in practice. Summer and winter, in rain or shine, he wears a high silk hat in the streets of London and carries it Into the drawing room when he pays an afternoon call. It is only when he takes a train for the provinces or for the continent that he ventures to use more comfortable headgear. He also expects to have the distinction of ‘“es- quire” when a letter is addressed to bim and is highly offended if he finds on the envelope the prefix “Mr.”” As a matter of fact, the number of Eng- lish gentlemen who are legally en- titled to the medianeval honor of “es- quire” is insignificant. It is a self as. sumed title which signifies nothing that is substantial in rank or privilege. In common use in London “esquire™ simply means that the person so ad- dressed does not choose to be associ- ated with tradesmen and ordinary working people and that he is a “gen- tleman” who invariably wears a silk hat. Mixed Metaphor. The late Mr. Ritchie when chancel- lor of the exchequer once asserted that “the question of moisture in tobacco is a thorny subject and has long been a bone of contention.” His immediate successor in office, Austen Chamber- lain, remarked at the Liberal Union the present government had sown was already coming home to roost. Sir Willlam Hart-Dyke has two con- splcuous “howlers” to his credit—the description of James Lowther as hav- ing gone to the very top of the tree and landed a big fish and the comfort~ ing assurance that his government had got rid of the barbed wire entangle- ments and was now in smooth water. Among other political examples of mix- ed metaphor are the prediction as- cribed to a labor member that if we glve the house of lords rope enough they will soon fill up the cup of their Iniquity and an Irish member’s com- plaint that a certain government de- partment 1s iron bound in red tape.— London Standard. A Fable. Once Upon a Time there was a Young Man who met Two Nice Girls, who were Constantly Together. Now, he was an Astute Young Man, and he desired to say Something Pretty and Agreeable to the Ladies, but he knew that if he paid a Compliment to One of them, No Matter which, the Other would be Hurt. So he Thought Rapidly for a mo- ment, and then he said: “Ah, I know Why you Two Girls are Always Together!” “Why?” asked the Two Girls. “Because Everybody says that A Handsome Girl Always Chooses a Homely One as a Companion, So That Her Beauty may be Enhanced by the Contrast.” After Such a Remark, either Both Girls would be Angry with him or De- lighted. And what Do you think Happened? The Two Girls Blushed and said he was A Flatterer and went their way Together, each Happy for Herself and Sorry for the Other.—London Answers. The Flag. On June 14, 1777, the Continental congress resolved that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, al- ternate red and white, and that the Union be thirteen white stars on a blue fleld. On Jan. 18, 1794, by an act of congress, the flag was altered to fifteen red and white stripes and fifteen stars. On April 4, 1818, congress again alter- ed the flag by returning to the original thirteen stripes and fifteen stars, as the adding of a new stripe for each ad- ditional state would soon make the flag too large. A new star is added to the flag on July 4 following the ad- mission of each new state.—New York American. Force of Habit. “The question of enlarging the church comes up tonight, John, doesn’t it?” “Yes, dear, and we expect to have a lively time. They tell me the opposi- tlon to the pastor will be strong. ‘Where’s my overcoat? Oh, yes! And now I want the tin horn and the cow- bell and the big rattle.” “Mercy, John, what are you going to do?” “Do! -Why, I'm going to l'oot for the pastor.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. An Estimate. “Old man Titewad must be worth a billion dollars,” observes the man with the Ingrowing mustache, “Nonsense!” says the man with the dejected ears. “He hasn’t over a hun- dred thousand to his name.” “But I was estimating it at what he ‘would be worth if a dollar was as big as he thinks it 1s.”—Chicago Post.

Flushing, N. Y., Jan. 1,—Thornton J. Hains was acquitted of the charge of murder in the first degree which grew out of the killing of William E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club Aug. 15, 1908. Hains stood guard over his brother, Captain Peter C. Mains, Jr., while the latter shot Annis, but did not actually participate in the shoot: ing. His brother, Captain Hains, has not yet been put on trial. This is the second time that Hains has been acquitted of a murdet charge, In 1891 he was tried in Vir- ginia for killing his former friend, Edward A. Hanunigan, of Fortress Monroe, with whom he quarreled while canoeing. That time he was acquitted on the ground that he acted in self-defense. The jury was out twenty-two hours, When the verdict was announced a great shout came from the crowded courtroom and Justice Crane ordered t___ T. JENKINS HAINS. the spectators from the room. The defendant smiled when he heard the verdict, but his eyes filled with tears when he turned to his counsel and shook them by the hand. It was learned from one of the jurors that fifteen ballots were taken. The first ballot stood eight to four for acquittal. The first change came some hours later when a ballot showed nine jurors in favor of freeing the defendant. Thornton Hains was given a dem- onstration by the townspeople of |ber, Flushing as he left the courtroom. Justice Crane had given orders to the police not to permit any demonstra- tion on the street, but the throng al- most swept the officers aside and suc- ceeded In surrounding Hains, many pressing upon him to shake hands. Hains spent a few moments at the hotel, then, in company with his coun- sel, he was whirled away in a big motor car to the Long Island City jall, several miles away, to get his effects and greet his brother. KERN - ISSUES = STATEMENT Blames the Secret Ballot for Loss of Senatorship. Indianapolis, Jan. 1 .—The 'selection of B. F. Shively of South Bend as nominee for United States senator by Demaocratic members of the state leg- islature was followed by a statement from John W. Kern, who was Shive- 1y’s strongest opponent. Concerning. the secret ballot, against which Kern made a hard fight, he says it made possible not omly the betrayal of constituents by their rep- resentatives, but all sorts of “treach- ery, double dealing and corrupt prac- tices.” ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES House Adopts Resolution Asking. for Information. ‘Washington, Jan. 1 .—Among- the measures passed by the house of rep resentatives was a resolution requir ing the interstate commerce commis slon to inform the house what ad: vances have occurred in freight rates since the passage of the Hepburn act of June 29, 1906; whether such ad- vances have been occasioned by ad- vances in the tariff rate or changes in classification or by -charging for some privilege which formerly was glven free.

Pittsburg, Jan, 1.—J. B. F. Rine hart, former cashier and vice presi dent of the Farmers and Drovers’ Na- tional - bank of Waynesburg, Pa, ‘Which institution failed over two years ago for $2,000,000, was found guilty of wrecking the bank and was immedliately sentenced to serve fif: feen years in the penitentiary by United States Judge James 8. Young. The jury found Rinehart guilty of all the eleven couuts, charging him with making false reports to. the comptroller of the currency, and upon all of the nineteen counts charging him with making false entries and with abstraction in: transactions con- nected with the Greene county polit- lcal campaign of 1905. Rinehart was not present when the verdict was read, but entered a few minutes later. Judge Young then caused a sensation among all con- cerned by immediately calling Rine- hart before him and imposing sen- tence. Tears trickled down the cheeks of the dazed banker and among the larg- est audience ever seen in the United States court here there was a death- like silence. Immediately after the verdict had been returned a number of the jurors were instructed by the court to con- fer with United States District Attor- ney Dunkle and a consultation fol- lowed in the latter’s office. This con- ference was for the purpose of procur- ing additional information concerning the alleged attempt to bribe a mem- | ® ber of the jury, for which two men are now In custody and a third arrest is momentarily expected. ‘What developed at the meeting be- tween the district attorney and jurors 1S not known, but a short time later George W. Worley, a brother-in-law of Rinehart, and James L. Smith, who were arrested charged with attempt- ing to corrupt the jury, were held in $2,500 bail each by Unlted States Commissioner Lindsey. Both fur- nished bond and were released. GOAT READY FOR HUGHES Governor Will Take a Ride at Syra- cuse; N. Y. This Evening. Syracuse, N.
