He had just refurnished and redecorated his living apartments at an expense of $1,000 as a surprise to his wife and son who were visiting in Michigan. “My wife was surprised, all right,” was Editor Huss’s grimly humorous comment. Mr. Huss hasestablished the post- office in a tent. Baudette’s mail al- so is being distributed for the flrst time since the fire. Milton Robertson, who was in Be- midjidoing jury duty when he receiv- ed news of the fire, hastened to Bau- dette via Warroad to aid his wife and two small childrea to escape. The flames had done their work, however, but he was overjoyed to find that his family, and the family servant, had escaped. They did so by submerging themselves in water fortwelve hours. Six hundred tents from Lake City, furnished by the M. N. G,, and T.

Delhi has the finest and largest mosque in India. It took 5.000 men six years to build it, The noble tomb of the Emperor Humayan marks the change of creed which followed the Moslem invasion, while the observa- tory of Jai Singh and the deserted hall of the seventy columns recall the short triumph of Brahmanism. She Couldn’t Fool Him. “You have a splendid figure.,” said the tailor. *“I shall have no trouble in giving you an excellent fit.” Feeling fairly well satisfied, the man went to a shoe store. “Your feet are splendidly shaped and rather small for a man of your size, too,” said the clerk. “These shoes are just what vou ought to have.” He took them and bought a hat at the hatter’s, where he was told that he had such a finely shaped head and such splendid features that the hat which he tried on first was just what he needed to make him look his best. Then he passed into a larze depart- ment store and, finding the glove coun- ter, sat down where a pretty youug woman was waiting to serve him. “Just place your elbow on the coun- ter, please.” she said. “What a finely shaped hand you have! Let me’— “Wait!" he commanded. “By George, you can't put that over on me! I used to be the catcher on a baseball team.” —Buffalo News. Could Not Deny It. “I will ask you,” said the lawyer, who was trying to throw doubts on the testimony of a witness, “if you have ever been indicted for~any offense against the law?” “I never have, sir.” “Have you ever been arrested on a charge of any kind?” “Never.” “Well, have you ever been suspected of committing a crime?” “I'd rather not answer that ques- tion.” “Ha! You would rather not. I thought so. T insist upon your answer- ing it. Have you ever been suspected of crime?” “Yes, sir; often. Every time I come home from a trip abroad the customs A Dream and Its Sequel. “In one of the Kast Indian border wars there was enguged an officer of high repute, the member of an ancient county family,” says Mrs. Mayo in “Recollections of Fifty Years.” One night the laird. its head, started from his sleep, exclaiming: “‘There’s the shot that has killed my brother!" “His wife told him it was but a dream. *He must have given an anx- fous thought to his brothers before going to sleep. Next day the pair were in the garden directing their gar- deners when the laird suddenly ex- claimed: **Do you: hear the bagpipes? “*No.” answered the lady. ‘I can hear nothing. 1 am sure there is no sound.’ . **Strange.” said the laird, ‘for I can even hear what is played. It is “The Flowers o’ the Forest Are A’ Wefe Away."”’ “A few hours later came the tele- gram reporting that the brother had been shot down by some border war- rior and over his lonely grave the men of his regiment had played the pa- thetic air whose mysterious echo seem- ed to have reached the laird.” Shakespeare’s Definition of Poetry. What a pity it is that Shakespeare ever used that phrase “‘fine frenzy!” It has become a fuddlesome factor in the framing of foolish fancieg. It is to the honor of Shakespeare, however, that he came nearer to giving the world the true definition of poetry than has any other man, for he did explain what constitutes the true art of poe- try making. and from this we are en- abled to know what Shakespeare con- sidered poetry. Curiously enough, it is in the very passage where Shake- speare uses that unfortunate phrase “fine frenzy.” Let us quote: ‘The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling. Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven, And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown the poet’'s pen Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing ) A local habitation and a name. —Hudson Maxim's “Science of Poetry and Philosopby of Language.” Hard to Understand. Supposing some one should spring you rapidly and ask you what it Mare-zeat-toats-deer-zeat-toats- lam-sleativy-lit-tie-kid-slea-tivy-too.” You would never think it was plain English, but it is. It is simply: “Mares eat oats; deers eat oats; lambs 'll eat ivy; little kids '1l eat ivy too.” You should say this over many times to yourself until you can roll it off very quickly, run the words together, and then when you try it on your friends they will have to confess that they can’t understand it. They will feel quite foolish when you show them that it is common English and that it sounds odd only because the words are spoken ‘fast and run in together. It is this running of the words in together which makes it hard for a foreigner to understand our language or us theirs: —Omaha World-Herald. f England’s Greatest Mine Fire. The most serious colliery fire ever known in Britain was undoubtedly that which broke out at the Tawd val- ley mine, near Preston, in 1872. Thou- sands of pounds were spent in trying to inspectors at New York city suspect me of being a smuggler.”—Chicago U'ribune. The Devil of the Desert. It is not generally known how a devil rides a camel, but Mr. Hans Vicher ac- quired the information and imparts it in his volume, “Through the Sahara.” One night a camel suddenly ran amuck. Other camels followed suit and a gen- eral panic ensued. “The frightened yells of my escort told me that a ghool, a wicked demon of the desert, had seized the camel. I was told how these evil spirits sometimes took a fancy to mount a camel; the camel would then look to see who was digging it in the ribs, and, perceiving no one, fear would grip its heart, for then it knew that the devil was on its back.” Malleable Glass of the Egyptians. Strabo and Josephus both affirm that the Egyptian glass workers were so well skilled in their art that they imi- tated the amethyst and other precious stones to perfection. Malleable glass was one of the secret arts of the an- cients, the formula for making it being now reckoned as lost. Strabo men- tions a cup of glass which could be hammered into any desired shape, the material of which it was composed be- ing as ductile as lead. How Plants Remain Upright. If a flowerpot is laid on its side the stalk of the plant growing in it grad- ually curves upward until it resumes the vertical position. This is called geotropic curvature, and the question is by what means the plant is stimu- lated to change its direction of growth. One theory avers that movable starch grains in the plant cells fall to the low- er side as the position is changed and by their pressure influence the mech- anism of growth. His World. Pretty Girl (to Charles, her betroth- ed)—Charley, how far is it around the world? Isn’t it 24,000"— Charles (putting both arms around her)—That’s all a mistake, love. It is only about twenty-four inches.” A Legal View. “The Bible says that no man can serve two masters.” “Yes. That's probably the first lav against bigamy ever put down,”’— Minn. Cleveland Leader. e ehd get the flames under control, but they overcame. everything and consumed some millions of tons of coal. A wall ten feet in thickness was built round the affected parts, but the heat cracked the masonry and brought it down as fast as it was rebuilt. However, in 1897 the river Tawd overflowed its banks and went pouring down into the mine. No fire could withstand such an immense volume of water hurled upon it, and, although the flames. extended for 500 yards, they were quenched after having raged for a quarter of a century.—London Tit-Bits. Preaching Monkeys. The author of “The History of Bra- ziI” tells of a species of monkey called “preachers.” Every morning and evening these monkeys assemble in the woods. One takes a higher posi- tion than the rest and makes a signal with his fore paw. At this signal the others sit around him and listen. When they are all seated he begins to utter a series of sounds. When he stops these cries he makes another signal with his paw, and the others cry out until he makes a third signal, upon which they become silent again, This author, Mr. Maregrove, asserts that he was a witness to these preachings. A Use For Him, “That horse of yours looks terribly run down.” “Yes,” replied Uncle Si Simlin, “Why do you keep him?” “Well, it’s a kind of comfort to have him around. . As long as I've got him I feel that there ain't much danger of my bein' cheated in . a hoss trade— ‘Washington Star, Nct a Good Son. Necessity turned sharply to inven- tion. “If I'm your mother,” she said, “it's your duty to support me in comfort.” But invention. as we all know, usual ly dodges his duty.—Chicago Tribune. Gallant. Nell-I have to read a paper on “Ideal Woman" at the next meeting of our ladies’ club. Jack—Well, all you need to do is to stand up and let them look at you. More Noticeable.
