GOPIOUS RAINS BENEFIT GETTING OUT LOG DRIVES ’Tis Said Enough Rain Fell to Swell the Cormant River Very Desirably. ‘The copious rains of the past week, which were apparently of altogether too generous proportions, have been beneficial in one respect, at least, that of swelling the small streams north of Bemidji, where drives of logs have been “hung up”’ on account of the scarcity of water. 1t is believed that enough rain has fallen tomove at least one drive, that which isin the South Cormant river, in the Red Lake Country. ‘There are some 30,000,000 feet of logs in this drive which are owned jointly by the Grand Forks, Thief River Falls and Crookston Lumber companies. The logs have been, for the most ‘part, lying high and dry on the banks of the stream. The logs will be driven down the Cormant to Lower Red Lake, towed across Red lake by steamboats and driven down the Red river to Thief River Falls, Crookston and Grand Forks.

Babb surrendered to the police. It is said that Babb was jeml- ous of the attentions Richards pald to the former's wife. The Queerest Salad. A gourmet as he mixed a salad of chicory said: “The world’s queerest salad, and possibly 1ts most delicious one, Is eaten by the Inoits of northwest Greenland. It is a salad of undigested moss from the stomach of a fresh killed reindeer, a- bitter, sharp, stim- ulating salad, as good for the diges- tlon as an electrical massage. The Inoits live almost exclusively on fish; hence salads are a favorite dish with them. But no salad in their minds compares with that which they wrest from the slaughtered reindeer. They say this salad is crisper, tenderer and more appetizing than any other, and they say it wards off indigestion, They fight for 1t, they spend their last penny on it, quite as the Indians do with @rewater.”—xchange. How Queen Bess Dined. The setting out of the dinner of Queen Elizabeth was a ceremonious function. First came a gentleman with a rod, followed by a gentleman carry- ing a tablecloth, which, after they had knelt reverently three times, was spreal upon the table. Then came two others, one with a rod, the other with a saltcellar, a plate and bread. They knelt three times, placed the things on the table, knelt again and retired. Next came a lady in waiting, followed by a second. The first lady, dressed in white, after kneeling three times, ap- proached the table and solemnly rubbed the plates with the salt. Then entered twenty-four yeomen of the guard clad in scarlet and each carrying a dish of gold. These dishes were placed upon the table, while the lady taster gave to each of the guards a taste from the dish he had brought in for fear of pos- sible poison. These guards were se- lected from the tallest and stoutest men in all England. At the close of this ceremony a number of unmarried ladies appeared and with great solem- nity lifted the vartous dishes and car- ried them to the queen In her private apartments. The queen dined and sup- ped alone, with few attendants, and it was seldom that any one was admitted at this time, and then only at the Inter- cesslon of some one in power. Coal Used by Romans. It 1s belleved by some historians that coal was used by the Romans on the continent and by the Britons on the is- land before the arrival of Caesar. As early as 1234 Henry III. granted a li- cense to dig coal near Newcastle, but a few years later the use of coal was forbldden in London, the smoke being deemed prejudicial to public health. In 1306 the London gentry petitioned the king against Its use, declaring that in spite of his royal order certain ma- llelous persons persisted in burning it. Coals began to be brought from New- castle to London in 1381, during the reign of Richard II. By the year 1400 coal was commonly burned In London as a fuel, though 200 years later, in the reign of Charles L., its use was far from being general throughout Eng: land. Anthracite coal, which, except the dlamong, is the purest form of car- bon known, was first used by a Con- necticut blacksmith named Gore in 1768 and as a domestic fuel by Judge Jesse Fell of Wilkesbarre, Pa., in 1808, A Fairy Tale Kingdom. The kingdom of Uganda is a fairy tale. You climb up a rallway instend of a beanstalk, and at the end there is a wonderful new world. The scenery is different, the vegetation is different, the cllnate is different, and, most of all, the people are different from any- thing elsewhere to be seen in the ‘whole range of Africa. Instead of the breezy uplands we enter a tropleal garden. In place of maked painted savages clashing their spears and gib- bering In chorus to their tribal chiefs a complete and elaborate polity is pre- sented. Under a dynastic king, a par- llament and a powerful feudal sys- tem an amiable, clothed, polite and in- telligent race dwell together in an or- ganized monarchy upon the rich do- main between the Victorla and Albert lakes. — Winston Churchill, M. P., in Strand Magazine. A Promise Unfulfilled. 0. Henry, the well known story writ- er, once promised the editor of a mag- azlne that he would deliver a short story to him on the following Monday. Several Mondays passed, but the muse was refractory, and the story was not forthcoming. At last the wrathful ed- itor wrote this note: My Dear O. Henry—If I do not recelve that story from you by 12 o'clock today I am golng to put on my heaviest soled shoes, come down to your house and kick you downstairs. I always keep my prom- ises. ‘Whereupon O. Henry sat down and wrote this characteristic reply: Dear Bir—I, too, would keep my prom- 1ses if I could fulfill them with my feet. —Success Magazine. GREAT APPLAUSE CREETS PINCHOT Stands Well With National Irrigation Congress. ! TALKS T THE DELEGATES Gives an Account of His Stewardship for the Last Year and Voices an Eloquent Tribute to Former Presi- dent Roosevelt, Whose Conserva- tion Policy, It Is Sald, Is Not Be- Ing Adhered To. Bpokane, Wash,, Aug. 11.—Gifford Pinchot has found out where he stands at the National Irrigation congress. On arising to address the convention the 1,200 delegates gave him an ova- tion lasting fully five minutes and winding up with a burst of three cheers. Mr. Pinchot went immediately into his subject, giving, as he announced, an account of his stewardship for the last year. He was preceded by T. J. Allen of the forestry service, who de- maended that if the West is to pre- GIFFORD PINCHOT. gerve its forests thera must be stpte laws and men to enforce them. This speech was seconded by Mr. Pinchot, who, in furthering this sentiment, voiced an eloquent tribute to former President Roosevelt. Among the features of the proceed- ings was a resolution introduced by John 1 Martin of St. Louls, sergeant- at-arms at several Democratic national conventions, calling upon the irriga- tlon congress to support the Lakes to the Gulf waterways project. WELCOMED BY TOWNSPEOPLE Great Crowd Greets Senator Cummins at Des Molnes. Des Molnes, Aug. 11.—Five thou- sand of his fellow townsmen, cheering and waving flags, greeted Senator Al- bert B. Cummins as he stepped from a train upon his arrival home from ‘Washington. Every mention of Senator Cummins’ fight for lower duties brought cheers from the throng which crowded around the speakers’ stand. A picture of the senator bearing the Inscription “Cummins for president in 1912” was carrled through thoe crowd and caused much enthusiasm. Mayor Mathis cre- ated another burst of enthusiasm when he expressed the hope that Des Moines might some day he able to welcome Cummins honre as president instead of senator. In response to the speeches of wel- come Senator Cummins made a shopt address in which he stated briefly his reasons for voting against the Payne tarift hill. DISCUSS COMPROMISE VIEWS Parties Interested in Chinese Loan in Conference. Peking, Aug. 11.—Henry P. Fletcher, the American charge, the representa- tives here of the German, British and French bankers and Liang Tun Yen, president of the board of foreign af- fairs, were in conference on the mat- ter of American participation in the Hankow-Szechuen railrond loan.

A number of the guests escaped in their night clothing and lost all their bagsage. MRS. CASTLE T0 BE TRIED Maglstrate Declares Case Will Not Be Dismissed. New York, Aug. 11.—The charge of felonious assault against Mary Scott Castle of California for ghooting at and slightly wounding William B. Craig, a New York lawyer, will be pressed even if Mr. Craig should agree to withdraw his complaint. Magistrate Butts, before whom Mrs. Castle was arralgned and held in $3,- 000 bail, declared that there was no warrant for the circulation of rumors fhat the Case woild be'settled Gut of court; that Mr. Craig has shown no disposition to settle it and had no right to do so.’ “No district attorney nor judge in this county can condene any crime committed,” sald the magistrate. “There is no law for defendants in high society that does not apply to persons not in high society.” Ball was furnished for Mrs. Castle pending a hearing of her case. 'SAILS FOR THE OTHER SIDE Orville Wright to Make a Serles of Flights In Germany. New York, Aug. 11.—Off for Ger- many, where he will make a series of filghts. In demonstration of the merits of the Wright aeroplane, Qsville Wright safled on the steamer Kron- prinzessin Cecille. His sister Kath- erine accompanisd him. They will make a hrief stop in England, but Mr. Wright would not discuss the ob- Ject of his visit-to that country. The general purpose of the flights to be made in Germany, he said, was to comply with the arrangements made last winter with the company organ- fzed for the manufacture of the Wright aeroplanes in that country. MONSTER PARADE PLANNED Labor Men of Eastern Citles Will Honor Samuel Gompers.

The day will culminate with a meet- ing in Convention hall, which will be a rallying point for many men who have gained reputation in the field of organized labor. AFFECTING IMPORTS FROM PHILIPPINES Regulations Sent to All Collec- tors of Customs, Lo ‘Washington, Aug. 11.—Regulations sent to all customs offices for the ad- ministration of the Philippine section of the new tariff law have been made public by Acting Secretary of the Treasury Reynolds. The regulations are In the usual form except as they relate to shipments of tobacco, cigars and sugar, which articles are admitted free up to certain prescribed amounts for each fiscal year. To avold abuse of the freo entry provision collectors of customs are required to report promptly to the secretary of the treasury each free entry of sugar, tobacco and ecigars granted, giving detailed marks and numbers and other facts needed for the certaln identification of the ship- ments. When the maximum quantities of cigars, tobacco and sugar admitted to free entry in any fiscal year have been reached all collectors will be informed by telegraph. The fact also will be cabled to representatives in the Phil- ippines. Any shipments en route when the maximum has been reached and which arrive thereafter will have to pay the full duty or be returned to the country of origin or diverted to some other country.

All the members of the party have arrived at Randipur in excellent health, SCORES OF INFANTS SUCCUMB Heat at New York Partlcularly Fatal to Little Ones. New York, Aug. 11.—Infant lives ‘went out by scores under the heat and humidity prevailing here. Seldom since the day after the General Slo- cum was burned has the morgue at the Bellevue dock held so many tiny bodies. Of the forty that lay there twenty-seven were sent from the New York foundling asylum and the others from various hospitals and other fn- stitutions. | ways neighbors.—Messenger. “Parceling Out de People.” Fishing, two boys strung thelr big tatch on the same string. Passing & graveyard they entered the gate to divide the catch, dropping two fish Just as they went inside the cemetery, Passing, an aged negro heard the two boys: “I'll take this one, you that one; [ this one, you that one; I this one, you that one,” etc. The negro listened in dismay and tan away as rapidly as his old legs could carry him. He met his negro minister, who called: “Deacon, why- you run in such tee- ror?” “Declare, parson, I been down yom- fler by de graveyard and over de fence heard de devil and de Lord parceling out de people atween ’em.” The pargon laughed at the old man's fright and made him go back with him to the graveyard to convince him of his error. The boys were still dividing—“You take that, I take this,” etc. Finally one boy asked, “What you gotng to do with them two at the gate?” This was more than parson or dea- con could stand, and both ran pellmell, neither wishing to take any further chances, no matter what was going on just over the fence.—Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, Penguin Battles. The penguin, a notable diver among sea birds, wins his mate by right of conquest. The male birds fight for the poasession of the females. These cu- rous birds have regular duet grounds, where relics of innumerable combats in the shape of feathers lie scattered about. In the center is the fighting arena, clear of all debris. The pen- gulns’ feathers and blubber form an efficient shield against their opponents® beaks, so the weapon used is the short filpper, the only wings the birds pos- sess. The fight begins with the two combatants walking round each other walting for an opportunity to grip. Once this is done the flippers come Into play. The fighters shower blow after blow upon each other. There 18 no record as to how these fights end, but it 1s a safe supposition to say that they are seldom fatal. The force of the blow from a penguin’s flipper is such that three or four of them will draw blood from the human hand. How Models Make Pictures. The artist gazed in rapture on “The Klss,” his latest plcture. . “Do you grasp,” he said, “the pas- slonate grace of the girl’s attitude, the warmth and the power wherewith her tense white arms draw the young man closer, ever closer? Well, I got that Idea from my model, a shopgirl. “But for my model’s suggestion I'd have put the girl in a stiff, cold posa, and the picture would never have been the masterplece it 1s. But my model pointed out to me the abandon where- with a girl, whether of high or low station, gives herself up to a kiss’ charm. She illustrated the thing, aid- ed by a male model, a young medical student. Yes, she made my picture. “The fact is, models make, with thefr valuable hints and suggestions, lots of pictures. There’s many a mas- terpiece whose merit Is due to the splendid pose that the model originated for the principal figure."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. _— Burma's Popular Sports. A form of speculation very popular fu Burma is bull racing. A certain na- tive sportsman is the owner of one of these bulls, for which he has refused an offer of 10,000 rupees. It has won several races and i3 looked after and as carefully tended as a Derby favorite, The owner values it at 25,000 rupees, and, 1t 1s said, it brings him an annual income of from 12,000 to 15,000 rupees. It 1s carefully guarded by four men lest 1t may be got at and “doctored.” Burmans also patronize boxing ea- gerly, but the art can scarcely be prac- ticed according to Queensberry ruies, for we are told by a provincial reporter that he has observed that “even the best boxers strike out with their eyes tightly shut, and If they do hit each other It {s more by chance than any- thing else.”—Calcutta ‘Statesman, The Wrong Lady. Some young idlers had been enjoying the fun of hailing passing shopgirls with rather doubtful compliments, and from some of the answers returned it was evident that not all of those ad- dressed were taking things kindly. Presently one of the older boys, seeln 1t was going too far, spoke up. “Lool &’ hero now, fellers,” he added, “youse might think youse is wise guys an’ all that, but just keep on an’ the wrong lady’ll come along, an’ she'll break yer face, see?’—Argonaut. A Parthlan Shot. “Even though you are my brother’s son I am obliged to discharge you. But I am sorry for your moth sake.” “Oh, that’s all right, sir.

A man rushing to catch a train the other day fell dead. In this instance 1t 1s falr to assume that the strain on a weak heart might fairly be held re sponsible. In view of the flerce com- petition in life and the undue strain to ‘which the masses of men are subjected it is of the highest importance that people known to be affected with heart disease should exercise the greatest care as to overtaxing thelr physical strength in view of the danger of sud- den death, instances of which are so common today. Inasmuch as few peo- ple are aware of having weak hearts, a safe rule for all men over forty is to avold the perils of haste and undue strain, as in lifting, rushing, etc. An- other important factor, many people over forty indulging in excessive eat- ing are in danger of arterio-sclerosts, or hardentng of the aerterles, which re- sults In sudden death from apoplexy, Kidney or heart disease. To sum the matter up, people over forty must lim- it their table indulgence and avold sudden and undue haste or strain if de- sirous of attalning a ripe old age.— New York Herald, Made the Most of His Hats. ‘When Lord Milner held his first re- ception at Pretorla the officers and legislators were given to understand that frock coats and tall hats were ex- pected of them. There was only one shop in the place in which silk hats ‘were sold, and this had but four of them. The Transvaal legislators rush- ed off in a body to buy these four, but the hatter, not being mad, saw his opportunity In their extremity. He knew thero was o time to get hats from anywhere clse, so he resolved not o sell. He offered to let them out on hire at the rate of 10 shillings for ten minutes. His shop was close at hand. Four gentlemen could present them- selves hefore his excellency. After ten minutes they must silently steal away and hand over their hired finery to an- other panting quartet. It was done, and the hatter still repeats dreamily as he recalls the moment of his life, “It would not have been falr to have sold them, not falr to my customers and not fair to myself.”—Pall Mall Ga- zette. Couldn’t Feaze This One. An fnstance of the careless, good na- tured philosophy of the negro may be seen In the little doggerel verse laugh- ingly sung by a black farmer when at the end of a bad crop year nothing was coming to him after his supply bills were paid. He could nefther read nor write; he had no money or chance of getting any for another twelve- month, yet apparently there was no fretting on his part. He took the bal- ance sheet, which was an utter mys- tery to him, and, pretending to inspect It and following the rows of figures with eye and finger, he gleefully chant- “Aught’s an aught, Figger's a figger, Ev'ything fur de white man An’ nuffin’ fur de niggert” Then carelessly he stuffed the bit of paper into his pocket, “cut the pigeon’s wing” and finally walked away to all appearances with a whimsical enjoy- ment of the fact that his own penniless condition corroborated the statement of his song.—Chicago Record-Herald. Put to Flight. The baby in arms was screaming lustlly, and the man in the gray suit could not hide his {rritability. “What on earth, madam,” he splut- tered, “do you mean by bringing such a howling brat into a public vehicle?” “It isn’t & brat!” retorted the mother, ‘with natural indignation. “And if I'm any judge it doesn’t howl half as much as you did' at its age, going by the looks of you!” The man fn gray wriggled uneasily under the geuneral scrutiny. “Baby, sce the ugly man?’ pursued the Infuriated female, pointing at him. “See the monkey-ponkey, gorilla man what might take a first prize at a beau- ty show for the ’orriblest face?
