The district superintendent says the people in the fire-stricken district need money more than any other thing. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Vye and W. G.

The attend- ance was disappointing. An ex. cellent program was given, the only number omitted being the selection by the Bemidji Male Quartet, which was unable to be present. The cornet solo by Arthur Brown was especially pleas. ing, as was also the cornet and trombone duet. Following the conceart a dance was given and the attendance was large. The Mas- ten orchestra goes to Cass Lake this afternoon where tonight it will give a concert to be followed by a dance. The death knell of the special Christmas postage, introduced and made popular in recent years by the Red Cross and other international charitable societies, has been sound- ed by the action of the postoffice departments of many of the foreign governments, which have henceforth prohibited their use. The postoffice department af Washinglon has just issued to all branch offices in this country through the department’s daily bulletin, an announcement of the legislation enacted by the various foreign governments during the last three months which does away with the special holiday stamp. Three nations have taken a firm and direct stand in regard to the Christmas stamp in absolutely prohibiting its use, and notice has been served on all the countries in the world to this effect. These three countries are Guatamalae and Uruguay, both in South America and the republic o Portugal. Each of these postoffice departments have sent word to the postoffice department of the United States that all letters, packages or mail received at their postoffices, which may bear special Christmas postage, will be returned to the writer, if a return address is given at the top, or to the fourth assistant postmaster at Washington, without delivery.

City Drug Store. DRIVERS’ STRIKE Companies and Employes to Hold Conference. COST OF FROUBLE HEAVY Express Concerns Said to Be Losing $100,000 a Day as a Result of the Practical Tieing Up of Their Busi- ness—Efforts Also Under Way to End the Strike of Garment Workers at Chicago. New York, Nov. 4—-Prospects for a peaceful settlement of the express drivers’ strike are improving. A com- mittee consisting of one driver with one helper from each express com- pany in ’the city and one representa- tive from each company has been chosen to meet in an effort to outline a proposal for submission to the gen- eral teamsters’ meeting. The strikers stiil insist that the rec- ognition of their union must be agreed to before there can be any discussion of wages or other terms. It is estimated that the express companies are losing $100,000 a day by the strike. There are 200,000 unde- livered parcels and -forty unloaded cars of express matter. MAY END CHICAGO STRIKE State Board of Arbitration Expected to Intervene. Chicago, Nov. 4—Possible termina- tion of the strike of garment workers, which has kept most of the manufac- turing sections of the city in a turmoil for nearly a month, was forecasted here with the announcement that the state board of arbitration would again intervene. Only the closed shop feature of the workers’ demands now seems to pro- long the conflict. To the closed shop the employers say they will in no case agree. It is believed the unions may waive their demands in part on this propo- sition. The police will deal with an iron hand to. keep down demonstrations of any sort by the strikers, according to Chief Steward. Some Nautical Facts. A knot is 6,080 feet long. The dis- tance from New York to Liverpool is 3,064 nautical miles by the northern track and 3,139 by the southern track. The former course is taken by vessels bound for New York, the latter by ves- sels bound for Liverpool. From Liver- pool to New York the distances zre respectively 3,039 and 3,109 miles. In estimating records the points tak- en on either side are Sandy Hook and Daunt’s rock, Queenstown harbor. The first light sighted on the British coast is the Bull, Cow and Calf, Ire- land, and on the American coast ei- ther Nantucket or I'ire igland. He \V/as Cautious. Frederick the Great was always fond of disputations, but as he generally terminated the discussion by collaring his antagonist and kicking his shins few of his guests were disposed for an argument. He asked one of his suit’ why he did not venture to give his opinion on some particular ques- tion. “It is impossible, your majesty,” was the reply, “to express an opinion before a sovereign who has such con- vietions and wears such very thick boots!” Live Table Talk. “I hope you ,will be interested in yonder gentleman,” said the hostess. “I have assigned him to take you out to dinner.” “T shall be,” responded the lady ad- dressed. “That gentleman was for- merly my husband, and he’s behind with his alimony."—Louisville Courier- Journal. Tearing a Proverb to Tatters. One of our correspondents, to whom g0 far as we can remember we never did any injury, sends us the following: Carlyle said that genius is an in- finite capacity for taking pains. We venture to think this definition appro- priate to a clerk. But in a doctor genius is an infi- nite capacity for slaking pains. In a commercial traveler, for taking trains, In a literary man, for raking brains. In a sanitary engineer, for making drains. And Janes. . Oscar Wilde’s emendation of the proverb was at once briefer and more obvious. “Genius,” he said, “is an in- finite incapacity for taking pains.”— London News. in a Don Juan, forsaking Shopping Troubles. “Tomorrow is my wife’s birthday, and I want to buy a present that will tickle her.” “We have a nice line of feather boas.” “No, no. I mean something that would make a hit with her.” “Anything in hammers?” “You misunderstand, I want some thing striking that"— “Ah, you wish a clock.” “That’s all.”—Cleveland Plain Deal- er. e Ths Title “Ezquire” ° The title “esquire” is derived from the French word ecuyer (a shield bear er) and originated in the old days ot chivalry, when, as is well known, each knight appointed oneor more persons of gentle birth to carry his shield and perform other honorable services. These persons were known as squires, or, more accurately. esquires, and were of such birth as would per- mit of their being in their turn cre- ated knights when they should have merited the distinction by deeds of valor or otherwise. In the reign of Richard II. the status of an esquire was granted for the first time by let ters patent as a title of honor merely. no duties being attached. This meth- od of creation is now obsolete, but it marks an advanced stage in the de- cay of chivalry, which decay resulted in the titles “knight” and “esquire” becoming wholly honorary.—Pall Mall Gazette. A Lazy Man. A worthy old citizen of Newport|' who had the reputation of being the laziest man alive among ‘“them hil. locks,” so lazy, indeed, that he used to weed his garden in a rocking chair by rocking forward to take hold of the weed and backward to uproot it, had a way of fishing peculiarly .his own. He used to drive his old white faced mare to the spot where the tautog (blackfish) might be depended on for any weight. from two to twelve pounds, backed his gig down to the water side, put out his line and when the tautog was safely hooked start: ed the old mare and pulled him out. A Slight Difference. Undue rapidity of speech or indis- tinct utterance often leads to curious misunderstandings. An. instance of this is given by Walter Seymour in his “Ups and Downs of a Wandering Life.” “A clergyman,” he says, “‘was sent for by a sick old parishioner who was not a churchgoer and who was deaf. The clergyman said: ‘What in- duced you to send for me? ‘What does he say? said the man to his wife. ‘He says why the deuce did you send for him? A Patron, “Mr. Carriman is very busy now.” said the private secretary of the rail- road president ‘Is there anything I can do for you?” “Qh,” replied the pompous visitor, “just a friendly call. I thought he’d like to know that I ride on his subur- ban branch now. I'm Colonel Nu- ritch.”—Catholic Standard and Times. Similarity. “What a noisy thing that bass drum is!” remarked the clarinet disgustedly. “Yes,” replied the trombone; *“just like a human being, isn’t it?” “Like a human being?” “Yes; it's the one with the big head that makes the most noise.”—London Telegraph. Shaking Hands. Few people know. how to shake hands well. The general run of folk either give a limp paw and allow it to be shaken or else grasp yours in theirs and nearly dislocate it with their vio- lence.—London World. The wise are polite all the world over; fools are polite only at home.— Bacon.
