NIGHT TRAIN IS PROVING A SUGGESS Passengers Report that Train Is Crowded.—Officials Do Not Say Much. Not much is said by the officials of the M. & L. of the amont of busi- ness which is being done by the night train on that system. The following, taken from the Long Prairie Leader, is indicative of the success of the new train service, as it was claimed it would be by the Pioneer: » “Wm, E. Lee returned home yes- terday from a several days meeting of the State Fair board. The big fair is to be a hummer and there is a mountain of work ahead getting things ready. He went to Walker Saturday night from St. Paul and spent Sunday there with his son, Harry, and family. Mrs. Harry Lee is in ‘poor health this summer and the family are spending the summer there in hopes the climate will help her. Mr. Lee said the night train to Walker is one of the most crowded trains he ever rode on. This is the M. & L train north through Be- midji. He did not have time to engage a sleeper berth before leaving St. Paul and found when he got aboard that every berth was taken so he had to sit up all night. We mention the fact simply to show what the M. & I. people are doing with their night train up into this country.” Band Dance Friday Night. The Bemidji Band will give the first of a series of prominades and dances in the armory, Friday night, August 13, commencing immediately after the concert at city dock.

His ad- dress was very well recelved, but somehow there did not seem to be ex- actly the enthusiasm wanted for the occasion. Having vainly trled to “warm up” his hearers, the general was just going to sit down when the chalrman of the meeting plucked him by the-coattail. “For the Lord's sake, general, give ’em some Latin!” he hur- Tledly whispered in the speaker's ear. “They won’t think you know anything at all if you quit like this. Smith, the opposition candidate, talked Latin to *em half the evening.” 0Old Hickory rose to the situation. Advancing to the edge of the platform, he extended his arm and -thundered out: “E pluribus unum! Slc semper tyrannis! Habeas corpus!” The audlence roared with applause. The credit of the orator was saved, and the Jackson ticket won out in that county.—St. Paul Pioneer Press, A Spoiled Scene. E. H. Sothern once found his wit fafl him in time of need. It was In the fourth act of “The Lady of Lyons.” Sothern played Claude Melnotte, and Virginia Harned was cast as Pauline. Beausant, the villaln, was pursuing Pauline, and she cried loudly for help. Claude is supposed to dash to her res- cue and catch the fainting Pauline in his arms. Sothern dashed on to the stage, but slipped and slid, sitting down near the footlights. Losing his presence of mind, he declaimed the line: “Look up, Pauline. There is no danger.” As Virginla Harned was standing, this was, of course, an im- possibility. By this time the audience was In an uproar, and when Arthur Lawrence, who played Beausant, scorn- fully sald, “You are beneath me,” the amusement of the audience knew no bounds. Approaching It Gradually, An old farmer, on paying his rent, told his landlord he wanted some tim- ber to build a house and would be much obliged to him if he would glve permission to cut down wood for the purpose. .
