This week he is working in the big meadow on the East Rapid river. Oscar Clementson has finished the drive up East Rapid river having brought down a large amount of cedar for the Itasca Cedar and Lumber Company.

Liiile One Laid to Rest. The body of the little baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Peckel, aged 4 months and 20 days, was laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery this afternoon, at the con- clusion of funeral services, which were held at St. Philip’s Catholic church, and over which Rev, Father Schmitt presided. There was a number of friends of the bereaved family present at the funeral and genuine sympathy was extended Mr. and Mrs. Peckel in their great loss. Sometime, the little flower which we welcome as the dewdrop, droops and dies, but its delicate face has inspired us to hope, and perfumed our life with thoughts of purity. It was even so with “our baby”—the tiny blossom of humanity that came four months ago to the home of Mr. and Mrs, Peckel. The suushine of love could not warm her life nor the affection of parenthood beguile her from dropping. Her breath went outlike thée exhila-| tion of a sweetly fragrant minion of the woodland and in her stead was left only a holy and beautiful memory ~—a memory that will last and sanc- tify as long as parental existence. The small body was laid to rest in Greenwood by hands that had tried to make her young life happy. May God’s purest angels guard her slumbers. Estrayed Livery bay pony, white strip in face.

A well known professor of architec- ture, commonly referred to as “Ham- my” by his pupils, told a story illus- trative of the remarkable degree to which certain persons possess the sense of symmetry. It seems that there was once a Scotch gardener who had charge of a good sized English estate and under whose direction the formal garden at the rear had been- laid out with. abso- lute symmetry, even the two summer houses, one on each side of the garden, being ideutical in even the most minute detall. On one occasion the English- man became angry at his son and locked "him up in one of the summer houses. As soon as the Scotch garden- er heard of this his sense of symmetry was so outraged that he immediately sent for his own son and locked him up in the other summer house to pre- serve the balance. “Hammy” neglect- ed to mention whether both boys were dressed exactly allke, but it 18 to be presumed that even this detail was at- tended to by the aesthetic Scotchman. ~New York Times. He Gave Them Latin. Once, before he was president, An- drew Jackson was making a political speech in some obscure campaign in a backwoods Tennessee distrlet. His ad- dress was very well received, but somehow there did not seem to be ex- actly the enthusiasm wanted for the occasion. Having vainly tried 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- rledly 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 audience roared with applause. The credit of the orator was saved, and the Jackson ticket won out in that county.—St. Paul Ploneer Press. A Spoiled Scene. B. H. Sothern once found his wit fail 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 1n 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- possibllity. By this time the audience was In an uproar, and when Arthur Lawrence, who played Beausant, scorn- fully said, “You are beneath me,” the amusement of the audiende knew no bounds. Another Way Out of It. ™% Nobody had -ever had reason to ac- euse Abel Pond of being dishonest, but be was as sharp a man in a bargain as could be found in the county. When the bLuilding committee applied to him for a site for the new library he was ready to sell them a desirable lot, but not at their price. i “I couldn't feel to let it go under $600,” he said, with the mild obstinacy that charactérized all his dealings with his fellow men. “It wouldn’t be right.” “You ought to be willing to contrib- ute something for such an object,” sald the chairman of the committee. “If It’s worth six hundred, why not let us have It for five hundred and call it you've given the other hundred?’ “M’'m—no, I couldn’t do that,” sald Mr. Pond, stroking his chin, “but I tell HEAVY DECLINE 1N CASH WHEAT Price at Minneapolis Drops Twenty-five Cents. DUE. TO LARGE RECEIPTS Large Movement in the Local Market Results .in Fall of Ten Gents on Opening Quotations and This Is' Fol- lowed by a Furthcr Drop of Fifteen Cents—New No. 1 Northern Now Selling at $1.05. Minneapolis, Aug. 24.—Old No. 1 Northern wheat broke 15 cents from the opening price, dropping from $1.25 to $1.10. Opening figures were 10 cents under the previous day’s quota- tions of $1.35, making a total decline of % cents. This was due to the heavy mevement into the local market. De- mand was good at the lower prices. Early in the day old No. 1 Northern sold as high as $1.25, but after the first hour $1.10 was the general price. Most offerings were new spring wheat. New No. 1 Northern sold mostly at $1.05. ] AWAITING COURT DECISION Kidnapped Child Held in Police Sta- tion at Kansas City, Kansas City, Aug. 24.—After a night of weeping because Mrs. J. J. Bleakley of Topeka, Kan., from whose home she was kidnapped Saturday, was not permitted to remain with her, little Marian Bleakley, the incubator baby, declared to newspaper reporters that she wanted to “go home with mamma,” . “This is a bad place,” she said, and, stretching out her arms imploringly to Mrs. Bleakley, who visited the po- lice station, asked: “When will we g0 home, mamma? I want to go home.” Mrs. Bleakley, while demurring at the pending court proceedings, de- clared that she was confident of re- taining possession of the child. “1 am baby’s mother,” she said, “and no honest judge will take her from me.” Mrs. James G. Barclay of Buffalo, N. Y., who, in company with J. N. Gentry of Kansas City, is being held on a charge of kidnapping, would not talk. She is ill in the police matron’s room. . VIOLATES A “FREAK" LAW Governor of Washington Gives Waiter a Tip. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 24.—With Gov- ernor Hay issuing a formal statement seeking to justify himself for violating the anti-tipping law in giving a waiter a 10-cent tip, with one member of the supreme court openly puffing a cigar- ette every evening in the lobby of his hotel at Olympia, despite the anti- cigarette law, and with many state officials sleeping nightly under sheets that are less than nine feet in length, as required by law, general official disregard of freak state statutes. is apparent. Contempt has been expressed on all sides for these statutes, but it re- mained for Governor Hay to give offi- clal expression of contempt for a law which he had taken an oath to en- force. y HORSE RACE FATAL TO ONE Ten-Year-Old Girl May Also Succumb to Injuries. St. Cloud. Minn., Aug. 24.—As the result of a friendly horse race between Ferdinand Kieke and August Benoit, who live on farms near St. Augusta, three .miles south of this city, Mrs. Kieke was instantly killed, her ten- year-old daughter was probably fatally injured and Catherine Ruhman of St. Cloud will lose the sight of one eye. They were returning from church aud Kieke tried to pass Benoit. The road is narrow and steep at that point and as they were going at breakneck speed Kieke's buggy skidded off of the road and hit a telephone pole. Mrs. Kieke was on that side of the rig. < you what I will do. You give me seven hundred for it, and I'll make out & check for a hundred and hand it over to you, so's you can head the list of subscriptions with a good round sum and kind of wake up folks to their duty.”—Youth’s Companion. Wanted Something Quicker. Some few years ago I ssued a pol fcy on the life of a man who was far from being a model husband. I called for the premium every week and rare- ly got it without a grumble from the ife. The last time I called she said: “I ain’t golng to pay you any more. There’s Mrs. Smith only had her old man in M.'s society three months, and he’s dead, and she’s got the money. I'm going to put my old man In that, 80 you needn’t call agaln.”—Liverpool Mercury. Flattered “I feel sure Miss Smith is in love with you,” said a lady to her brother. “Do you? It sounds too good to be true.” - “Well, I heard her say yesterday that plainness in a man is not really a fault, but a sign of character.” Seedless Fruits. Science so far has failed to furnish any explanation of the mystery of seedless fruits. They are not the out- come of the work of man. Man per- petuates them. He does no more.

Rochester, Minn., Aug. 24—Frank Farr, who is serving a life sentence in the Washington state penitentiary at Walla Walla, may secure his free- dom through the instrumentality of James Desmond, recently a convict at Stillwater, but now an inmate of the Rochester state hospital for the in- sane. Farr was arrested for holding up the meat market of Miller Bros. in Spokane in'1903 and he was convicted. Six years have passed and now Des- mond, an insane patient here, absolves Farr of all complicity in the crime. Extreme Cruelty Charged. New York, Aug. 24—In a scathing report issued at Albany, in which charges of extreme cruelty to inmates are made and the management of the house of refuge on Randalls island is sharply criticised, a special committee of the state board of charitfes un- veiled shocking phases of life in the “Fourth,” or disciplinary division of that institution. AFTER WONDERFUL FLIGHT Dirigible Balloon Wrecked and Drops Into River. Paris, Aug. 24—The Bayard-Clem- ent dirigible balloon, built recently by the Bayard-Clement company for the Russian government, was wrecked pear Maisons-Fafiitte during its pre- liminary trial. The aviators on board, including Colonel Nasch of the Rus- sian army, were not injured. The airship made its ascent steady, remained in the air and then came down without damage, but while on the ground a violent gust of ‘wind tore the balloon from the grasp of the forty men who were holding it. It was thrown agalnst some trees and’ telegraph poles nearby, ripping the gas bag to pieces. ‘The ship then- fell into the River Seine. The four occu- pants had stuck to the car during these happenings. Upon landing in the river they left the shattered ship and swam for ‘the shore. - They were picked up by'small boats. By the terms of the contract with the Russian government this balloon was to have maintained an altitude of 8,600 to 4,500 feet for one hour. Colo- nel Nasch described his experience as follows: “We made a wonderful ascension, attalning to a height of 4,500 feet. This beats the world’s. height record for dirigible balloons. ‘We remained aloft for over an houf, never coming below 3,600 feet.” 7 WILL ASK AN INVESTIGATION Secretary of Federation of Labor Dis- cusses McKees Rocks Affair. ‘Washington, Aug. 24.—Secretary Morrison of the ‘American Federation of Labor proposes te ask the depart- ment of commerce and labor to in- vestigate the conditions under which men are working for the Pressed Steel Car company at McKees Rocks, Pa. Not ohe of the men now on strike, he said, is affiliated with the Federation of Labor. . “These men,” he said, “have been confounded with-the strikers of the Iron and Steel Workers of America. There is no relation whatever be- tween_the two. “By the introduction of foreign labor that company has reduced the wages and conditions of the men to such an extent that these aliens, who do not speak our language, have revolted and are struggling to obtain living condi- tions. An investigation. by the gov- ernment would reveal astonishing methods on the part of the company.” DOWNPOUR OF RAIN - CHECKING FLAMES Situation in Western Canada - Still safifllls, However. Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 24—A steady downpour of rain west of the Koo- tenay and Fernie district is checking the forest fires, although fires are still burning around Hesmer, Michel, Fernie, Coal Creek, Morrisey, Jaffray, Cranbrook, Moyie and Creston. Mah- agers of lumber companies are ex- pending large sums in employing men to fight the fire, which is a severe. task, as at times the wind blows a gale. The Bast Kootenay Lumber company, the Wattsburg Lumber com- pany and the Otis Staples Lumber company all suffered heavy losses. Valuable timber south of Nakusp, on Arrow lake, and in the vicinity of Cranbrook has Been destroyed. The chief sufferefs %ve the railway and lumber companies, although numerous frult ranchers throughout the valleys lost residences and property. The most serious fires occurred in East Kootenay, the city of Cranbrook hav- ing been threatened to such an extent that many people buried their valu- ‘ables in the yards in anticipation of a general conflagration such as overtook Fernie last year. PAUPER INHERITS $200,000 Promptly Offers to Pay County for Care in the Past. Bloomington, Ill, Aug. 24 —Through the death of Oliver Newhouse of In- dianapolis Albert Newhouse, inmate of the poor farm of tbis county, be- comes heir to'the former’s fortune of $200,000. The legatee is thirty years old and has been sick, penniless and friendless for some time. He had been employed at a local hotel as porter for several years, but he suf- fered a severe attack of rheumatism six months ago and was compelled to 80 to the poor farm. Newhonse wreceived the information regarding his fortune without any dis- play of emotion. He immediately of- fered to pay the county for the ex- pense of his care, although he did not possess enough money to buy a postage stamp. Albert Newhouse has a brother, but they have been enemies for years. . CUT IN EXPENSES OF ARMY Taft Orders Ten Per Cent Reduction of Enlisted Force. ‘Washington, Aug. 24.—President Taft’s order fora 10 per cent reduc- tion in the enlisted strength of the army is said to be part of the general plan of the administration to econo- mize. 2 The army cut is expected to save Uncle Sam about $6,000,000. The re- duction of the force to 80,000 is not expected to impair its efficiency in the least. There will be no recruiting for the next cight months. The natural decrease of the enlisted force between now and’ July, 1910, will be about 10,000. s TRYING CORPORAL CRABTREE Courtmartial at Fort Crook of Des .

Washington, Aug. 24—The interior department, which guards the -inter- ests of the Indians, does not intend to permit the Standard Oil company to: reduce thé price which the Indian oil producers in.Oklahoma have been re- ceiving for their crude petroleum if Acting Sectotary' Plerce can devise any plan to require the oil company to pay the 41 cents a barrel which the Indians have been getting. It is al- leged that the Standard Oil company is contemplatiig a reduction of the price to 35 cents a barrel and the charge is also made that in reducing the price which it pays for the crude oll advantage Is being taken of the new Payne tariff law. Several conferences have been held by Mr. Pierce and Commissicner of Indian Affairs Valentine to consider the proposed action of the oil com- pany and devise a plan for the protec- tion of the Indians. DROWNED IN THE ST. CROIX Three Young People Perish by Cap- sizihg of Boat. Stillwater, Minn.,, Aug. 24.—Miss Hilda Peterson, aged twenty years, daughter of Louls Peterson of Lake- land; Miss Sigria Peterson, her cousin, daughter of Michael Peterson of Moose Lake, who was visiting her, and Louis ‘Wendell, aged eightcen years, only son of a widow of Lakeland, were drowned in the St. -Croix river at Lakeland. Harry Staberg, a young man with them; was rescued, clinging to a skiff. The four in a skiff and another group of yoting pecple in another boat had been at Hudson, Wis. They start- ed home about the lime a hard wind and rain storm came up. The St. Croix is wide at that point and the waves were runuing high and swamped the skiff. CONFERENCES ARE RESUMED Renewed Efforts to Avert Street Car Strike at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 24.—Ncgotiations have been resumed between traction offi- cials and representatives of the street car employes of the city in an attempt to avert a threatened strike on the surface street car lines. The consen- sus of ‘opinion before the conference seémed to be that a settlement of the dispute would be reached either through a new offer by the street car officials or by means of arbitration and that recourse to a strike would not be necessary. Secured Many Notes and Bonds. Jackson, Mich., Aug. 24.—The safe in the hardware store of Godfrey & Vervalin, in the village of Para, ten miles west of this city, was wrecked by burglars. Farmers’ notes for $3, 500 were secured, also stocks and bonds to the value of several thou- sand dollars. Roosevelt Kills Bull Elephant. Nairobi, B. E. A, Aug. 24.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who is now hunt- ing in Kenyan, one of the seven ad- ministrative provinces of the British East African protectorate, has killed a good bull elephant. h ugh G “In my boyhood there came to our town,” said a clergyman, “a gentle min- Ister who, the very first Sunday of his incumbency, stopped effectually his coughing congregation. “It was a congregation, too, singa- larly addlcted to coughing. Rattling volleys of coughs ran over it every few minutes. The minister, indeed, that first Sunday could hardly make himself heard. He had rather a weak volce. © “Well, after his sermon had proceed- ed for ten or twelve minutes, now au- dible enough, now drowned under great waves of coughs, he took a resolution, und when the next outbreak was at its height he ceased preaching. . “At once the coughing ceased. There was a profound silence. The minister smiled. “‘My friends,’ said he, ‘it seems that when 1 stop you stop.” # “From that day In that church the coughed no more.” z Queer Wedding Effigy. § There 1s a curious custom still prey- alent In the Bellary district of India in connection with the wedding cere- | monfes among certain Brahman fam- llies. Just prior to the close of the feasting a hidcous efigy of a male figure, fantastically robed in rags, sup< poseil to represent the bridegroom’s fa- ther, Is carried along the streets in procession under the shade of a sieve adorned with tassels of onions and margosa leaves. Every few yards dur- ing the procession the feet of the effigy have %o be reverently washed and its forehead decorated with a caste mark by its living spouse, the bridegroom’s mother. The bridegroom’s other fe- male relations have several mock at- tention:; paid to them by the women of the bride’s party.—St. James’ Ga- ette. b Legal ‘Fiction. Says Sir Henry Maine in his “An- clent Law:” “A legal fiction is the as- sumption which conceals or affects to conceal the fact that a rule of law has undergone alteration, its letter remain- Ing unchanged while its operation bhas been - modified. The fact is that the law has been ‘changed; the fiction is that it remains what it always was.” * Frenzied Financlering.

Professor Blackle of Edinburgh, e martinet in the class room, wus one day hearing a class with the individuals of which he was not acquaintéd. Pres ently a student rose to read a par graph, his book held in his right hand. | “Sir,” cried the professor in his auto- cratic way, “hold your book in your left hand!” The student was about to speak, but the professor stopped him with a peremptory command: “No words, sir; your left hand, I say!” Then the student held up his left arm, which .ended at the wrist. “Sir,” said he, “I hae nae left hand.” Before the professor could speak there came a perfect storm of hisses from the class, and when he did speak the hisses drowned what he said. Then he left his place and went down to the student whose feelings he had unintentionally hurt, threw his arm around him and drew him close. “My boy,” said the professor, speak- ing softly, yet being heard by every one in the room, “you’ll forgive me that I was overwrought. I did not know! I did not know!” Then he turned to the students, and, with a look and a tone that came straight from the heart, he sald: “And let me say to all of you that 1 am glad to be shown that I am teach- ing a class of gentlemen!” Limitations of Practice. , In an Iowa town an action for eject- ment was tried “by the court without a jury,” the suit having been brought by a religious society to recover pos- sessfon of a cemetery. The defendant, a physician In active practice, had bought .the ground for the use of the soclety, but when afterward he sev- ered his conncction with the organiza- tion it was discovered that he had tak- en the title in his own name and evi- dently intended to hold on to it. After duly welghing the evidence the court ordered judgment for the plaintiff, stating briefly the reasons for the de- ¢lsion, whereupon defendant’s coun- sel desired to be more fully enlight- ened In the premises. “Certainly,” said his honor. “In ad- dition to what I have already said, there are but two other reasons. One s that the church scems to need a cemetery, and the other is that the doctor has failed to show that his prac- tice is sufficiently large to necessitate his maintaining his own burying ground.” Art Comes High. “A New York lady,” said a Parisian, “once ventured to remonstrate with Paquin because he had charged her $700 for a ball dress. The material’ she said, ‘could be bought for $100, and surely the work would be well pald with §50 more.” “‘Madame,’ said Paquin, with his grandest air, ‘go to your American painter, Sargent, in his little Tite street studlo and say to him: “Here 1s a yard of canvas, value 50 cents, and here are colors, value $1. Paint me a pleture with these colors on this can- vas, and I will pay you $1.75.” What will the painter say? He will say, “Madame; those are no terms for an artist.” 1 say more. I say, If you think my terms too high, pay me nothng and keep the robe. Art does not descend to the littleness of hag- gling.’ " We Work Too Hard, Lady Headfort during her American tour said In New York that she ap- proved of international marriages. “They correct us,” she explained, “Our Englishmen work too little, your American men work too much, and the ' fnternational marriage tends to bring about a happy mean. Your men do ‘work too much, you know,” said Lady Headfort. “I have an English friend who attended the funeral of one of your hardest workers, a multi- millionaire. My friend’s wife said rather bitterly to him at the funeral: “‘How you have missed your oppor- tunities, my love! Place yourself be- slde.Mr. Ritch there. You are both of the same age. You both began life to- gether. Yet you are a poor man, while he died a multimillionaire.” “‘Yes,’ saild the English husband. ‘“There Ritch lies, dead ‘of nervous pros- tration, -without one single penny in his pocket, and here I stand, hale and hearty, with a wallet in my coat con- taining quite a hundred dollars.’” ONE CENT A WORD.
