ARE REMODELING THE INTERIOR OF THEIR PLACE OF BUSINESS They and C. L. Cummer Have an Im- mense, Varied Stock of Holiday Goods. The well-known Mayo block, on the corner of Fourth and Beltrami, known as the postoffice corner, has undergone extensive improvements; not so much the block itself, but the thriving and popular drug store which occupies the lower corner floor. This store iz owned and oper- ated by E. H. Cormontan and G. A. Hanson. Mr. Cormontan hails from Fosston. Minn.,and is not a stranger to Bemidji. Mr. Hanson comes from Minneapolis and arrived in the spring of 1909. They formed a partnership last May and purchased the stock and store which they now own and operate. The store is alarge, well-lighted room with fine plate windows and two entrances. They have just com- pleted the placing of a new steel ceiling. They have installed new electric lights. The lights consist of twelve 100-c. p. Tungsten lamps and ten 60-c p. Tungsten lamps. This will give the store just three times as much light as it had before remodeling. They are going to add to their serving tables three new ones, making a total of eight. The walls will be tinted in a light blue and the ceiling painted white. The fixtures have all received pol- ish, and with the additional new shelving and doors finished in old Mission style adds considerably to the appearance of the room. These young men, since last May, are fast coming to the front as Be- midji’s foremost pharmicists. In addition to their well equipped stock and store they operate a first class prescription department. They make a special effort along the line of filling prescriptions and desire that every family feel safe to bring prescriptions to their store. The store, just at this time, ap- pears to be an unusually busy place. Immense shipments of holiday stock have just arrived and the clerks are kept busy packing and unwrapping this splendid assortment of Christ- mas gifts. The shipment consists mainly of beautiful calendars, albums, toilet sets, handkerchief boxes, fancy Christmas candy, etc. The eager shopper will have little trouble in finding something to give | in this popular store. The front of the store is occupied by C. L. Cummer, with a complete line of jewelry. His stock has also been added to and the display windows show that gift buying is made easy with the varied selection he offers. A combination of three young men such as these in one room should be a drawing card for the buying public and a promising future is surely awaiting them. In Extremls. Late one night a clergyman was called out to minister to an old man— a worker upon the adjacent railway— who was supposed to be dying. ‘he summons was brought by another old man, the elder brother of the stricken one. While he was bustling about, making preparations for departure, the clergyman forgot momentarily the social status of his visitor and asked, “Is he in extremis?” The old man was not going to be beaten. “Aye, he’s right in, your rev- erence.” After a pause he added as a clincher: “Clean in, poor chap. Right up to the neck, sir.”—Cornhill Maga- zine, He Had Been There. Rodrick—Howdy, old man? We are going on a camping trip soon.

Why. you know we call him Goose M. Well, and then, you know, when he endeav- ors to express strong passion he bel- lows.” “Bellows?” said Lord Nugent. “To be sure he does—bellows like a bull. Why, we call him Bull M. Well. Then,” continued Goldsmith, pursuing his triumph, “his voice breaks, and he croaks.” “Croaks?” sald Lord Nugent. ‘“Why, the fellow croaks like a frog. ‘We call him Frog M.” “But M. is a good actor.” “Why, yes,” sald Goldsmith, “bar- ring the goose and the bull and the frog and a few other things I eould mention, and, not wishing to speak ill of my neighbors, I will allow M. is a good actor."—"Memoirs of the Earl of Nugent.” i : The Gypsy Life. “Just as soon as my husband and I have $500 saved up besides our fare we are going back to England,” said a woman player. “Then we are go- ing to buy one of those gypsy wagons they have over there.
