Eight jury cases and seven court cases were tried; and twenty-two applicants were granted citizens’ papers.

The cost to the cousty was about $600, for jury expenses, which was probably no greater than if the cases had been tried here. The term wasa great accommodation to applicants for citizens’ papers. because the cost of coming to Bemidji with witnesses for each application would be afiproximately $50.

Old Mrs. Smith was a chronic com- plainer and was constantly sending for the family physician and giving him a Ust of her fancied ailments. He al- ‘ways listened quite patiently, but was getting a little tired of hearing the same things over and over. One day when the old lady consid- ered herself in an unusually bad way she sent for the doctor and, after go- Ing over the usual list, ended by say- Ing: “Really, doctor, I do not know wosf in the world is wrong with me. I can neither lay nor set.” - The doctor looked at her a moment, then said in a solemn tone, “Madam, you must be a rooster.”—Kansas City Independent. One of Hook’s Practical Jokes.' Theodore IHook forged 4,000 letters to 4,000 tradesmen and others request- ing them to call on a certain day and hour at the house of a wealthy widow, Mrs. Tottenhaw, in Berners street, London, against whom he had con- celved a grudge. These people began to arrive soon after daybreak. The rush continued until nearly midnight. They came by fifties and hundreds. There were 100 chimney sweeps, 100 bakers, fifty doctors, fifty dentists, fifty accouchers. There were priests to ad- minister extreme unction and Metho- dist ministers to offer last prayers. There were fifty confectioners with wedding cakes, fifty undertakers with coffins, fifty fishmongers with baskets of cod and lobsters. They pushed, quarreled and fought, ‘and the police ‘were called out to prevent a riot. Fi- nally among the hoaxed ones came the governor of the Bank of England, the royal Duke of Gloucester and the lord mayor of London, each lured thither by some cunning pretext. A police in- westigation followed, but the perpetra- tor was not detected. A Wonderful Bowman. The Romans were very skillful bow- men, although they discarded the weap- on in warfare, trusting to the charge and to hand to hand fighting. Many of the Rowman emperors were famous archers. It is said that Domitian would place boys In the circus at a consider- able distance from him and as they held up their hands with the fingers outstretched he would send the arrows between them with such nicety and ac- curacy of aim that he never inflicted a wound. The wicked emperor Commodus boasted that he never missed his aim or failed to kill the wild beast that he shot with a single arrow. He would set a shaft in his bow as some wild beast was set free in the circus to de- vour a living criminal condemned to die. Just when the furious animal was springing on his prey the emperor would strike it dead at the man’s feet. Sometimes 100 lions were let loose at once in order that he, with 100 arrows, might kill them. With arrows the heads of which were semicircular he would sever the necks of ostriches in full flight. A Talent For Balancing. The pleasant coffee room of the old Star and Garter at Richmond, which was burned down in 1869, was patron- ized by England’s statesmen, politicians -and writers. On Saturday evenings it was regularly visited by a middle aged gentleman of rather broad stature, with gray hair and a large shirt collar ‘which formed a conspicuous feature in his attire. He would dine always alone at a particular corner table, and after dinner it was his humor to build up before him a pyramid of tumblers and wineglasses, which be topped with a decanter. Occasionally the whole structure would topple over and litter the table with its ruins. Then the mid- dle aged gentleman would rise, pay his bill, including the charge for broken glass, and depart, The waiters knew him well. He was Thomas Bab- ington, Lord Macaulay. Curious Greetings. A French journal has been looking Into the question of how different races express the colloquialism “How do you do?” and presents some curlous exam- ples. The Koreans, for instance, do not give or imply any offense when they greet each other with the remark, “You do look old.” Persians say, “May Allah preserve your beard and cover it with benedictions.” Among a tribe of Fiji islanders the correct form of salutation is to pull one’s ear. A Caro- line islander kneels before his friend, ‘whose foot he grasps and slaps himself vigorously in the face with it. In the Sudan a traveler was addressed by a native chief as “Mighty sun,” the said chief finishing up with “Glory to thee, O splendid moon,” the remark being accentuated by expectorating in the traveler's right hand. Greatness. There is a kind of elevation which does not depend on fortune. It is a certain air which distinguishes us and seems to destine us for great things. It is a price which we imperceptibly set on ourselves. By this quality we usurp the deference of other men, and it puts us, in general, more above them than birth, dignity or even merit itself. —La Rochefoucauld. A Coincidence. “I'm afraid, George,” said his fiancee, “that you are going from bad to worse.” “Quite a coincidence,” muttered George. “That’s what Clara said when I threw her over for you.” Spurgeon’s Complaint. Mr. Spurgeon once complained that his deacons were worse than the devil. i “Resist the devil,” said he, “and he will fly from you, but resist a deacon and he will fly at you.” Hope. “There is no sweeter suffering than hope.” So runs an old German prov- erb, melancholy text for hearts that bitter disappointment has cured and to whom all hope is but memory.

TRAGEDY OCCURS IN OFFICE George W. Somerville of Sleepy Eye, a Former State Senator, Victim of @ St. Paul Real Estate Man—Quar- rel Over a Business Deal May Have Been the Cause of the Shooting. Sleepy Eye, Minn., Sept. 2.—George W. Somerville, ex-state senator and one of the most prominent lawyers in the state, was shot twice while sitting in his office in this city. One bullet went through his body, perforating the left iung. The other entered below the left shoulder and lodged in the body. Mr. Somerville may not recover, The assailant was arrested imme- diately after the shooling and, being menaced by a crowd, was removed to the county jail at New Ulm. He gave his name as John Hayner and he is understood here to be in the real estate business in St. Paul. After shooting Mr. Somerville Hay- ner fired again after Albert Hauser, Mr. Somerville’s partner, had run out GEORGE W. SOMERVILLE. to get a doctor. No one was hit by this bullet, which lodged in the cell- ing. The man meant to kill himself with it. “But my nerve failed me,” he said later. Mr. Hauser said he did not know what prompted the shooting. He un- derstood that Mr. Somerville had had some real estate transactions with Hayner, in which, he thought, a Sleepy Eye building had been traded for a farm in this (Brown) county, but it had been a personal matter with Mr. Somerville and not 2 firm transaction. FIRE BURNS FOR FOUR DAYS Passengers on Atlantic Liner Ignorant of Situation. New York, Sept. 2—While the At- lantic Transport line steamer Minne- apolis was in midocean a fire was dis- covered in the forepart of the hold, according to a cablegram received here, and although the crew fought the flames for four days before sub- duing it the passengers knew nothing about it until the ship reached Tit- bury, the port for London. ‘While the fire was in progress the Minneapolis sent wireless calls for ald. The steamship picked up these calls and hurried to the side of the Minneapolis, standing by her for twelve hours, when, her help not be- ing needed, she proceeded on her way. NO CLUE TO HIGHWAYMAN Pennsylvania Train Robber May Es- cape Detection. Lewistown, Pa., Sept. 2.—Despite the close watch maintained the robber who held up and robbed an express traln on the Pennsylvania railroad near here has evaded capture and it is prohable he never will be caught. The railroad company has enlisted the aid of several detective agencies. Notwithstanding the robber obtained less than $100 the railroad and ex- press company will spend many times that amount to land him behind prison bars. He left no clue, however, and unless bloodhounds can lead the police to the trail he seems safe from cap- ture. Chicago, Sept. 2—Twins born to an Ttalian mother, who is only seventeen years old, weighed. twenty-eight pounds, one balancing the scales at sixteen pounds and the other at twelve pounds. Both are boys and were born eleven minutes apart. The mother is the wife of Peter Montdione, a laborer, twenty-eight years old. i Girl Holds Prisoners st Bay.

ARTIST EARLE AGAIN IN THE LINELIGHT Said to Be Traveling in Europe With New “Soulmate.” New York, Sept. 2—Followers ot the school of philosophy advocated by Ferdinand Pinney Earle, the Monroe (N. Y.} artist, declared that the friend- ship between Earle and Miss Gertrude Buell Dunn, with whom he is reported to be traveling in Europe, is absolute- ly of a platonic nature. It is purely a “union of souls,” they say, with no thought of marriage or relations ap- proaching marriage. Ferdinand Pinney Earle came into notoriety in September, 1907, when he announced that he and his first wife, who was Miss E. M. Eischbacher, had agreed that their souls were not in tune. Mrs. Earle obtained a divorce and the artist married Miss Julia FERDINAND P. EARLE. Kuitner, a settlement worker, whe had been living at his house in Mon- roe before he and his wife separated. Mrs. Kuttner-Earle is now suing him for divorce on the ground that he was never properly divorced from his first wife. Earle and Miss Dunn, it is said, met first at a house party of the members of thelr cult near Norwalk, Conn., last spring. Since then their companion- ship has been almost constant and a week ago, it is said, they sailed for and Washington Rhoades, a negro, PROMISES TO GIVE UP WORK Harriman’s Burdens Will Be Shifted to Other Shoulders. New York, Sept. 2—E. H. Harriman has promised his family that he will give up hard work for a long time. He has informed his associates that it will be necessary for other shoul- jders to carry the heavy burdens known as the Harriman railway pol- fcies. Since Mr. Harrimen returned the distribution and division of these responsihilities has been going on un- der his direction. J. C. Stubbs, traffic director, and Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main- tenance and operation on the Union Pacific and Southern Pacifie, will be responsible for the wellbeing of these two huge organizations. The differ- ence in their positions is that they will not have daily orders from Harrl. man headquarters. THREATENED WITH EVICTION Thousands of Swedish Strikers Re- fuse to Pay Rent. Stockholm, Sept. 2—A number of the men on strike in Stockholm, hav- ing received notice to leave their homes Oct. 1 unless they return to work in the meantime, the unions have issued a proclamation that no strikers are to pay rentals due in Oc- tober. The strike leaders maintain that it will be impossible to turn thou- sands of families into the streets. End to Baggage Smashing. Topeka, Kan., Sept. 2—The baggage smashers’ days in Kansas are ended. The Kansas board of railroad commis. sloners has issued an order that the baggagemen must not let a trunk go tumbling down from a car door ta the brick or stone platforms. Archimedes. As a mechanician Archimedes pro- duced the correct theory of the lever and invented no less than forty inter- esting devices, Including the endless screw, the pump, the organ and the “burning glass,” with which latter novel weapon he is said to have set fire to the ships of an.enemy’s fleet from a considerable distance. The sto- 1y is probably fabulous, but none the less interesting, as exhibiting the faith of the people in the man and as indl- cating the character of his pursuits. As engineer Archimedes was looked upon as hardly less than a magician. He produced catapults which threw enormous stones and heavy pikes at long range into the ranks of the enemy or into his ships, and great derricks were built by him with which to lift the attacking craft out of water or to upset it, destroying all on board. His proposed use of the lever meant the production of the inconceivable inven- tions in machinery and engineering constraction, and his own estimate of its importance was expressed by the familiar quotation, “Give me whereon to stand and I will lift the earth.” Archimedes was the first and perhaps the most inventive and greatest of early engineers. His lever still moves the world, and his spirit is inherited WANIS ONE CENT A WORD. HELP WANTED. e ST WANTED—Good girl for general house work. Inquire of Mrs, C. J. Pryor, 421 Bemidjiavenue.
