i SPECIAL SERVIGE WAS GLOSED LAST EVENING Mr. Hulett of Detroit Did Splendid Work In Meetings at Baptist Church. [Contributed] The special meetings were prought to a close last night at the Baptist church. Mr. Hulett labored earnestly and faithfully for the past two weeks. His preaching is a strong prsentation of gospel truth, illustrated from practically every walk of life. He is a man with a great, big brotherly heart, fired with enthusiasm of the love of God to help his brother man and a determination that knows no defeat. He has a powerful, yet clear and sympathetic voice, so gifted that preaching is not a trouble to him. He believes the “Old Book” from Genesis to Revelation. The services were well attended, many non-churchgoers being present, night after night. The results of the meetings can- .. not be tabulated by any human being. God alone knows the work that has been accomplished. A goodly number have professed restoration and others conversion unto God, besides the great spirit- ual uplift that has come to the members ot the church. There was no undue excitement during the meetings, but an ear- nest, honest effort to keep folks; no clap-trap methods used, every- thing open and above board, hence we believe the services have been riclhy blessed to many hearts, and a good, healthy spirit remains amongst the christian people, Mr. Hulett has won the hearts of Bemidji people who heard him dur- ing the services, and if he should come this way again, he will find a right royal welcome. Will See ‘‘Passion Play.” H. W. Georgi, Presbyterian pastor at East Grand Forks, who has been in Bemidji recently, an- nounced that he will soon leave, in company with his wife, for a trip through foreign countries, go- ing to Scotland and visiting points in that country and extending tne trip to Greece. Rev. Georgi will make his trip under the auspices of the Bureau of U. Travel of Boston. He will spend some time at Oberammaga, where he will witness the Passion Play, and will write accounts of the play for metropolitan papers of this country. RESULT OF MEAT STRIKE Packing Plant at Nebraska City, Neb., Suspends Operations. Nebraska City, Neb.,, Feb. 1.—The Morton-Gregson packing plant of this city has been so hard hit by the anti- meat agitation sweeping over the country that the managers have de- cided to cease operation and close the plant until the meat strike is over. Notices to that effect have been post: ed and the company will buy no more live stock until the agitation ceases. ‘The Morton-Gregson company is one of the oldest packing companies along the Missouri river. Its busini:ss was confined to the slaughter of hogs, no cattle nor sheep being 1 :d. The capacity is 2,000 hogs _ .. ..y and for months the plant has been Kkilling from 1,000 to 1,500 hogs daily. TWENTY JAPANESE KILLED New Uprising Said to Have Occurred in Korea. Tokio, Feb. 1.—Special dispatches from Seoul report a serious uprising of insurgents at South Phongan, Ko- rea. Twenty Japanese settlers are sald to have been murdered. Angry Man Shoots Into Crowd. Chicago, Feb. 1.—Two hundred persons, including many women and girls, were thrown into a panic when Carmina Sicoli, a laborer, entered & hall where they were dancing and be- gan firing a revolver. The dancers es- caped ou’of the windows to adjoining roofs and down fire escapes. All the shots went wild and Sicoli, who was angered at having been ejected from the hall, was ovérpowered and locked up. Suspect Nearing Breakdown. Cincinnati, Feb. 1.—Jesse Van Zandt, who was arrested Saturday following the discovery of his wife’s gagged, ‘bound and roasting body upon a light- ed gas range in the kitchen of their home, was held practically incommuni- cado by the police. It is reported that the prisoner is feeling the strain of his position and is on the verge of a nerv- ous breakdown. _— The Kind He Bought. Little Edwin—Mamma, what 1s lig- uld alr?

A Sailors' Christening. “The late Bishop Potter once in his early days had occasion to officlate at a christening in a small fishing village on the Massachusetts coast,” says a writer In Harper's Weekly. “The proud father, a young fisherman, awk- wardly holding his firstborn daughter, was visibly embarrassed under the scrutiny of the many eyes in the con- gregation, and his nervousness was not decreased by the sudden wailing of the infant as they stood at the front. “When the time for the baptism of the babe arrived the bishop noticed that the father was holding the child so that its fat little legs pointed toward the font. ““Turn her this way,’ he whispered, but the father was too disconcerted to bear or understand. “*Turn her feet around,’ the bishop ‘whispered again, but still there was no response. The situation was>fast be- coming critical, when an ancient mari- ner in the back of the church came to the rescue. Putting his weather beaten hand to his mouth, he roared across the room, “Head her up to the wind, Jack!” Throw 'Em Down Babies. “T wonder,” mused the young father, “what there is in a baby’s makeup that prompts him to drop things. It isn’t really dropping, though—it's throwing. My baby is good about sleeping and behaving when there is company, but everything he can snatch he immediately flings to the floor. I've noticed and known a lot of others, too, who do the same thing. It's not only the joy of throwing, but the delight in seeing somebody pick the stuff up. Babies certainly seem to take a fiend- ish delight in watching their fathers and mothers or nurses pick up the toys and other things which they throw out of their beds, carriages and chairs. My boy used to be quite pleas- ed with a rubber toy attached by a string to his carriage so that it just escaped the ground. He would grin and dangle it for hours. Now he yells as soon as he discovers it is fastened, and the minute we give it to him loose, bang, it goes on to the ground, while he laughs aloud in his joy. There’s probably a reason, and the psycholo- gists will discover it some day.”—Ex- change. Bribes For Clergymen, “Three or four attempts have been made to bribe me,” said a clergyman. “My friends of the cloth tell me that they, too, have been occasionally tempt- ed with bribes. “Once it was the advertising man- ager of a health food. He offered a subscription .of $100 to our mission school if 1 would tell from the pulpit how much good the health food had done me. 1 made him give me the money for the mission under threats of exposure, but, of course, I did not mention his food in the church. The church is no place for health food talks. “The widow of a drunkard and gen- eral good for nothing offered me $50 if I would lie in praise of her husband in his funeral sermon. I praised the man heartily in the sermon—no matter how bad a man may be, if you examine his character you will find in it many traits worthy of praise—and to the widow I wrote a note of gentle rebuke. “Often we are asked to date back marriage certificates, to say a couple were married in six months or a year before they really were. A man once offered me $1,500 to perpetrate a wrong of this sort. 1 thrust a tract in his hand and turned him out of doors.’— Cincinnati Enquirer. Rain and Animals. “Lions, tigers and all the cat tribe dread rain,” said a zoo keeper. “On a ralny day they tear nervously up and down their cages, growling and trem- bling. We usually give them an extra ration of hot milk. That puts them to sleep. Wolves love a gray day of rain, They are then very cheery. Treacherous as the wolf is, no keeper need fear him on a rainy day. He is too happy to harm a fly. Snakes, too, like rain.- They perk up wonderfully as the barometer falls and the damp makes itself felt in their warm cases of glass. “Rain makes monkeys glum. They are apt from instinct, when they see it through the window, to clasp their hands above their heads and sit so for hours. That attitude, you know, makes a kind of shelter. It is the primitive umbrella. So, ‘when it rained, the naked primitive man and woman sat gloomily in the primeval swamps of glant ferns.” A Mouse and a Candle. At the end of the bathing seasonm, a few years ago, a candle was left on the mantelpiece of a family in Pouli- guen, France. When they returned the next spring they found, according to La Nature, that a mouse had done these things: Climbed somehow a marble chimney plece, there being no piece of furniture near enough to leap frc1 and no way of descending from above. Climbed the candlestick itself, which was of highly polished silver, over ten Inches high, with a broad flare at the cup. Climbed the candle, 'began eating at the top, eating evenly all round down to the base, leaving the bare wick standing up perfectly straight. If the mouse had begun at the base of the candle, its weight would have caused it to topple over. It must have taken the mouse a good many days to eat the candle down to the bottom. Their Only Job. “Why, Mrs. White,” began the sum- mer visitor newly returned to Say- mouth, “how those maples of yours have grown since last year! It's per- fectly amazing!” - “Oh, I don’t know’s it’s anything to wonder at,” said Mrs. White easlly. “They ain’t got anything else to do.”— Youth’s Companion. % Our Wonderful Railroads. Gall Hamiton was right when she sald that if there were never to be any railways on this continent it would have been an impertinence for Columbus to have discovered it. Only by the railways could its magnificent distances be bridged. Equally cosrect was Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last survivor of the signers of the Dec- laration of Independence, when, on throwing up the first shovelful of earth for the first railway of the Unit- ed States which was intended to carry passengers and freight, the Baltimore and Ohio, he exclaimed, “I consider this event second only to that of the adoption of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, if second even to that.” That was in 1828, But England was far ahead of us in railway building in the beginning. Even Russia got a bet- ter start than we did. At the outset we imported not only our locomotivesy and cars, but also the rails on which they were run and the men to run them, However, John Stevens, Peter Cooper, Evan Thomas, Matthias Bald- win and others changed all this and in their various fields laid the founda- tlons of a railway system which is to- day in dimensions and completeness far ahead of that of any other half a dozen countries in the world combined. —Leslie’s Weekly. The Franz Hals Museum In Holland. 0ld Haarlem calls up the shadow of Franz Hals. The museum is verily a sanctuary to his memory. There the famous corporation pictures hang. One sees the members of the various guilds in the fullness of careless life, eating, drinking and merrymaking. Here Hals is seen at the height of his power. The splendid color and directness of work are a revelation. Every figure seems alive, and one Is convinced they were all in, the flesh once. This great mas- ter with one bold stroke of his brush made these men immortal. At eighty years he still painted, and his last ple- ture hangs beside his masterpieces. Haarlem and Hals will be assoclated as long as the place lasts. One mar- vels at the execution of the Dutch painters, whether it be in the broad work of Hals or in the miniature finish of the genre masters. All of them had a splendid sense of values, atmosphere and human life; a perfect harmony of relation fills their canvases.—Spring- fleld (Mass.) Republican. Unconquerable. It was a veteran soldiery that re- peopled the plantafions and the home- steads of the south, writes Thomas Nelson Page in the Old Dominion, and ‘withstood the forces thrown against them during the perlod of reconstruc- tlon. In addition to personal pride, self reliance -and physical courage, they possessed also race pride, which Is inestimable in a great popular strug- gle. However beaten and broken they ‘were, the people came out of the war with their spirit unquenched and a be- Uef that they were unconquerable. A story used to be told of an old Confederate soldier who was trudging home after the war, broken and rag- ged and worn. He was asked what he would do if the Yankees got after him when he reached home. “Oh, they ain’t goin’ to trouble me,” he saild. “If they do I'll just whip ’em agaln.” Cold and a Candle. Dr. Moss of the English polar expe- flitlon of 1875 and 1876, among other odd things, tells of the effect of cold on a wax candle which he burned. The temperature was 35 degrees below zero, and the doctor must have been considerably discouraged when, upon looking at his candle, he discovered that the flame had all it could do to keep warm. It was so cold that the flame could not melt all the wax of the candle, but was forced to eat its way down the candle, leaving a sort of #keleton of the candle standing. There was heat enough, however, to melt oddly shaped holes in the thin walls of wax, and the result was a beautiful lacelike cylinder of white, with a tongue of yellow flame burning inside of it and sending out into the dark- ness many streaks of light. Siege of Crete, Crete can claim to have been the scene of one of the longest sleges on record, longer than the slege of Troy, for in the seventeenth century it took the Turks more than twenty years to capture its capital city. The island, in fact, 1s famous for protracted military operations, for, though the revolution of 1821 was speedily successful in the open country, the fortified towns were still uncaptured when the powers in- tervened in 1830. Awkward For the Aeronaut. An element of humor characterized one of Mr. Spencer’s Indian experi- ences. One day, after making a para- chute descent, his balloon, traveling on, came down among some fisher folk, who promptly unpicked the net to use for fishing lines and cut up the balloon to make waterproof clothing!— Ifqndon Captaln.

You know I told you that Mr, Sub- bubs must catch that early train, and punctuality at breakfast is absolutely necessary,” said the lady. “Sure an’ Ol overshlep’ mesilf,” sald Bridget. “That s no excuse,” sald the mis- tress. “I gave you an alarm clock only yesterday.” “Of know that, mim.” “Did you wind it up?”’ “Of aid.” “And didn’t it go off?” “Sure an’ it did that. It made a tar- rible n’ise.” 3 “Then why didn't you get up?”’ “Sure, mim,” responded Bridget tear- fully, “it was that t'ing that’s made all the throuble. Ol niver shlep’ a wink: all- night waitin’ for it to go off, an’ whixd it did Ol was that tolred Ol couldn’t move,”—Harper’s Weekly. To Cure Wrinkles. “Look at a paralytic if you think wrinkles incurable,” said a beauty doc- tor. “On the side he is paralyzed all his wrinkles disappear. Though he be sixty or seventy, his profile on that side.is the profile of a youth. So the paralytic shows us how to cure our wrinkles—namely, by keeping our fa- cial muscles still. If we keep our faces in perfect repose, never laughing when the comedian sings his best song, nev- er weeping when wife or sweetheart dies, we will have no wrinkles what- ever. The skin wouldn't wrinkle if it were not exposed. The skin of the body is much disturbed by action of the muscles: underneath—as at the knee, for instance—yet this unexposed ekin never wrinkles. Not being ex- posed to the bad influence of sun and wind, it has not lost the oil and the elasticity of childhood. And that's where I come in with my creams and unguents and massages.” — New Or- leans Times-Democrat. Taming Patti. Patt ~ to sing on a certain date at Buchares., v.. at the last moment she declined to leave Vienna. It was too cold; snow everywhere; she would not risk catching her death of cold. M. Schurmann, the impresario, was in despair until a brilllant inspiration came to him. Quickly he telegraphed to the advance agent In the Rouma- nian capital: “At whatever cost Pattl must receive an ovation at Bucharest statlon from the Italian aristocracy Bend me by return the following wire: ‘The members of the Itallan and Rou- manian nobility are preparing to give Mme. Patti a magnificent reception. The ministry will be represented. Pro: cessions, torches and bands. Tele- graph the hour of arrival’” The ad- vance agent carried out this instruc- tion, and when the telegram dictated to him over the wires arrived in Vi- enna 1t was handed to Patti, with the desired effect. “How charming!” she murmurred. “What time do we start?” His Wonderful Invention. Australia, as 1s well known, Is in- fested with rabbits, a most destructive and multitudinous pest. Not long ago a man invented the following plan: You go out into the fleld from which the rabbits are to be removed. You saw down a tree, and on the slant of the stump you paint a black spot. ' Then you keep very qulet, so that the rabbits will come back from their bur- rows and feed as usual. When a farge enough number has collected you clap your hands sharply. The effect will be electric. The rabbits will jump in haste for their burrows. At least one Is sure to mistake the black spot for his hole and make for it. Invaria- bly he will dash his brains out. This process, repeated -often enough, is warranted to exterminate the rabbit forever. . The reports do not say whether there are any rabbits left in Australia. Twin Place. One day an old gentleman who .| found the Java village at the World’s falr very absorbing at length confided in a young man standing near. “It's powerful nice to watch,” he said, “but I may say I should be better on’t if T was a trifle better posted. My Jjogra- phy's a leetle rusty, and it's truth and fact ‘that 1 don’t jestly know where Java is. Now, where is 1t?” 2 “Oh,” said the young man, with the assured quiet of one who knows, “just a little way from Mocha!”—Argonaut. Making It E: Little Jean’s dolly had met with an accident, and her mother had procured a new head for it. The removal of the old head proved to be a rather difficult task, which Jean watched with great interest. “I'm afraid, Jean, I can’t get this 01d head off,” sald the mother. Jean’s face glowed with the light of an inspiration as she said: “Never mind, mamma; just take the body oft.” A Teaser. “There 18 one subject on which it is difficult to keep up interest?” “What particular subject is that on which it is difficult to keep up inter- est?” . “The mortgage of my house.” To the Point.

Between these two eminences, how- ever, there’s room for some genuine SENATOR CARTER - GiAl Advocates Law Creating Postal Savings Banks, ‘Washington, Feb. 1.—The United | [§ States is the only first class power in | the world to deny the people the privi- leges and the blessings enjoyed by a| postal savings bank, declared Senator Thomas H. Carter of Montana, speak- ing in the senate on the bill to estab- lish postal savings banks favorably re- ported from the committee on post- offices. and postroads. He spoke of the promises made in the last Republican platform, as well as in several other party platforms, of the support given to the measure by former President Roosevelt and by President Taft, as also by a number of the postmasters general of the past forty years, and outlined the present bill. Answering numerous objections which have been made against postal savings banks Senator Carter asserted that they would not be a menace to the present banking system of the country, that the commercial banks, even if they were sufficiently numer- ous, could not reach the people in the rural and sparsely inhabited districts, whom the postal banks are designed to benefit. The postal depositories, he declared, would encourage thrift, would bring into circulation much money now kept in hiding and would impel foreigners, who now send much of their savings home for deposit in sav- “ngs banks in their own countries, to place them in the care of this govern: ment.
