ROOSEVELT. ‘There probably is no more power- ful newspaper in the west than the Chicago Tribune. What itsays car- ries much weight. Its option there- fore is worth consideripg. Here is what the Tribune says of the elect- ion in New York: “Yesterday’s result in New York makes or unmakes Theodore Rose- velt. “Which? “The West,[not the East, will an- swer this question, and no one knows the answer today.” A STRIKINGZADVERTISEMENT. While a hundred men ate, drank and made merry at the gay tables of the Markham hotel last night, the man who made possible the complete enjoyment of the testi- val was in the kitchen with hiscoat off and sleeves rolled up direct- ing his forces with all the skill of a trained general In an event entered into so hearti- ly and completely by the leading citizens of the city it is not well to single out any individual for particu- lar praise, but it is eminently proper that the public at large should know, as all who attended the banquet al- ready know, tbat in preparing so bountiful a feast and serving it so splendidly Frank S. Lycan advertis- ed;Bemidji as it could not otherwise have been advertised. = Comments from strangers whose favorable im pression meant so much, proved the striking truth of this assertion. THE BANQUET. The brilliant career of Bemidji’s brief existance contains no more important, pleasing or inspiring event than the gathering at the Markham hotel last night. The men from outside who wield a tremendous power in the upbuild- of this part of Minnesota must have been favorably impreéssed by the magnificent outpouring of truly rep- resentative business men of this city. The feeling of good fellowship geuerated assures an era of new and greater prosperity; the complete har- monizing of Bemidji with the direct- ing forces of the new servant ot the people—those bands of steel over which are to glide long freight trains and luxurious passengers, every rail joint clicking outa song of commercial triumph—means that Bemidji has entered into a new and enlarged realm of prosperity and industrial activity. The suggestion of a 25,000 club,” made by President Wedge was timely. Bemidji can have a popula- tion of that size and the Soo banquet last evening was a good start in that direction. MINNESOTA . SCIENTIST MAKES GREAT DISCOVERY. Announcement was made by wire a few days ago that Prof. Hubert C. Carel of the University of Minnesota, has discovered a chemical four times as strong as carbolic acid and still not a poison that will destroy the germs of tuberculosis, typhoid and cancer. The Consolidated Pub- licity Bureau has obtained from Professor Carel his own story of the discovery. It will be printed in the Pioneer, Professor Carel has given his discovery to medical science. He has nothing to sell. Therefore it is not an advertisement in any way. The storyswill appear in a few days. The Consolidated bureau has this to say: - “As you know, our interest has always been mainly to supply to the newspapers news about St. Paul. In this story however, we have the interest of mankind at heart. If this story shall be the means of sav- ing one human life from tuberculosis, cancer or typhoid fever, we shall be repaid ten thousand fold. This story will be sent to FEuropean papers, it having been our custom in the past to serve only the press of this country and Canada. “We regard it as the most important announcement it has been our pleas- ure to give to the newspapers of the country, and anything that will serve to relieve suffering and save life, we submit it to you for your use as you see fit.” The Pioneer will place the facts before its readers at the earliest mo- ment. INDIAN RACE IMPROVING. This part of the country takes a special interest in the work being done toward educating the Indians and it is with ‘a feeling of satis- faction that improvement of the race is chown by the progress of Indian students in ‘the different schools, In The report of M. Fried- man, superintendent of the Car lisle school contains many things of interestt We quote from it briefly: ‘““The Indian people are progress- ing; they are being educated; are are more industrious; lean less on the Government; exercise more in- dependence of thought and action; and are rapidly becoming property owners. “The time has passed when people argue that Indian education should be radically different in matters of procedure, subject-matter, and the general principles involved from ele- mentary education as it is- carried on in the thousands of public schools scattered throughout the country. “The plan of mixing the tribes at Carlisle results in nationalizing the Indian; and, after all, that is the great object in our dealings with this primitive people. They see be- yond the reservation, and more than half of our graduates are actually |b making a success away from the reservation. “In the record of the women gradu- | I ates it will be noted that 142 are housekeepers. It will thus be seen that their education has not weaned them away from married life. A careful examination of the record of these young ladies shows that they are mistresses - of \modern homes, nicely furnished, and that their children are being well cared for and carefully educated. These are not so:called.squaws who live in tepees or'hogans, amid the squalor of the reservation, but thrifty, industrious wives and mothers whose homes compare well with the homes of good white women in similar cir- cumstances.” I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY l Go to it. It is all over now but the going to work.—Minneapolis Jouraal. Hopes for Pleasant Job. When he was sentenced to life im- prisonment for stabbing a man a Texan stepped forward and thanked the jury. He must expect to get the job of feeding the canary birds or watering the gold fishes when he enters the penitentiary.—Chicago Record Herald. Printer Tank Touches Fairmont. The Fairmont Sentinel is 56 out. A printer struck the town last week and the Sertinel chal- lenged. The printer gave the password, agreed to work and did make a few eloquent gestures in froit of a case of type. So the Sentinel stood good for his board and bed at the Foster house. But at the close of the day’s work the printer declared his opposition to county option or any other option. His ticket called for a group of saloons in every block, no restrict- ion on trade and an open-all night policy. Inside of two hours the city had him in charge and the Sentinel called around at the Fos- ter house mad enough to vote the entire prohibition ticket and then some and called the deal off. The Tank has now left for the next town.—A. J. R. in Journal. A Tribute to Johnson. In an appreciation of the late Senator Broward of Florida, printed in the Miam:1 Metroplis, Tom Wat- son compares him to our Governor John A. Johnson, to whom he pays a glowing tribute in speaking of his lofty ideals of public service. *‘Had Governor Johnson lived,” says Wat- son, “nothing could have prevented him from being our next ptesident.” —St. Paul Dispatch. The Alert Man. “Calmness is a fine trait.” said Mr. Bliffly, “but does it always'get there? You take the case of two men stand- ing up in a car holding on to straps, both the same age, but one of them quiet and the other quick, and now let the man they are standing in front of get up to leave the car at a station, and suppose these two men are both at exactly the same distance from the seat, each with the same chance as the other for seizing it, which would get that seat? Would it be the calm, cool man who moved deliberately and al- ways with some thought for others, or would it be the ever alert man, quick to move and always on the lookout, pbot caring a continental for what any- body thinks and always ready to jump in any seat he can nab? Why, while the calm man is thinking it over about what he shall do and beginning to turn that way the alert man is in the seat. 1 certainly do admire the calm, tran- quil man and his good manners, but it is the man ever on the alert that gets the seat in the car—and other things.” —New York Sun.

(8RAL] MA!lOY UIW’Dlark Nov. 11th and 24th’ THE BELTED PLAID. al Dress of the Scottish High!ander. The original dress of the highlander was the belted plaid. This was a piece of tartan cloth, two yards broad and four long, which was drawn around the waist in nicely adjusted folds and tightly buckled with a beit. The lower part came down to the knees in much the same manner as the modern kilt, “ile the upper part was drawn up and adjusted to the left shoulder, so that the right arm might be perfectly free. This upper part was the plaid, which was used as a covering for the shoulders and body in wet weather, and wlkin the use of both arms was required it was fastened across the breast with a brooch, often curiously enriched. A brooch was also used to fasten the plaid on the left shoulder. To attire himself in the belted plaid required on the part of the highlander no small amount of dexterity. The usual way was to lay it on the floor and after carefully arranging the folds to lie down upon it and then buckle it on. The lower end was fas- tened at the right hip. The utility of such a dress in the highlands is ob- vious, for the plaid rendered the man indifferent to storms and prepared to pass a night in the open air in the most inclement weather. while the loose undergarment enabled him to wade rivers or ascend mountains with equal. ease, It was thus peculiarly adapted to the warrior. the hunter and the shepherd.—London Mail. SHE: LOVED SNUFF. Remarkable Will and Funeral Queer Englishwoman. The will of M Margaret Thomp- son, which is preserved as a curiosity at Somerset House, England, is a trib- ute to the delights and consolations of snuff. The testatrix directed that in her coffin should be buried with her all her handkerchiefs and sufficient of the best Scotch snuff to cover her body. This she preferred to flowers, as *noth- ing could be more fragrant and so re- freshing te« me as that precious pow- der.” [Further. the six greatest snuff takers in tlie parish of St. James, ‘Westminster. were to be her bearers. Six old maids, each bearing in ler bhand a box filled with the best Scotch snuff to e for their refreshment as they walked, were to bear the pall Before the corpse the minister was to walk, carrying and partaking of a pound of snuft. At every twenty yards a handful of snuff was to be delivered to the bystanders, and at the door of the testatrix’s house were to be placed two bushels of the same quality of snuff for gratuitous distribution. In order to insure the carrying out of her wishes the testatrix made the legacies given by the will dependent upon an exact and literal fulfillment of the conditions above named. In closing she bade all concerned to regard snuff as the grand cordial of nature. of a Toned It Down. “King Edward,” said an English vis- itor in New York, *‘hated snobbish- ness. To show how ridiculous snob- bishness was he used often to tell about an alphabet book of his child- hood. GROTESQUE NAMES. Burdens That Innocent English Chil- dren Had to Bear. In England, as in other countries, thousands of people go through life cherishing a grudge against their par- ents for giving them absurd or incon- gruous names. It was most natural that a demure and pretty girl in a north suburb should feel resentful when she had to answer to the name of Busybody, given in honor of the winner of a race fifteen years before. Among the names registered at Som- erset House are Airs and Graces and Nun Nicer, which were innocently borne by two little girls who found them most embarrassing in after years, The appalling name of Wellington Wolseley Roberts was borne by a young man who, in disposition and ap- pearance, was anything but militant, and as little likely to win fame on the battlefield as his predecessors Ar- thur Wellesley Wellington Waterloo Cox and Napoleon the Great Eagar. even these names, inap- te as they may be, are to be d to Roger the Ass, Anna (sic) Domini Davies and Boadicea Basher. To parents of large families the ad- vent of another child is not always welcome, but it is scarcely kind to make thé unexpected child bear a tok- en of disapproval. It must be rather terrible to go through life, for exam- ple, as Not Wanted James, What An- other, Only IFancy William Brown, or even as Last of 'Em Harper, or Still Another Hewitt. And yet these are all names which the foolish caprice of British parents has imposed on in- nocent children.—Chicago Record-Her- ald. OLD TIME GIRDLES. They Were Indispensable Articles of Wear In the Middle Ages, In the middle ages at the girdle were hung the thousand and one odds and ends needed and utilized in everyday affairs. The scrivener had his inkhorn and pen attached to it, the scholar his book or books, the monk his crucifix and ros: the innkeeper his tallies and everybody his knife. So many and so various were the articles at- | tached to it that the flippant began.to poke fun. In an old play there is men- tion of a merchant who had hanging at his girdle a pouch, a spectacle case, a “punniard.”” a pen and inkhorn and a “handkercher,” with many other trinkets Desides. of which a merry companion d, “It was like a hab- erdasher’s shop of small wares.” In another early play a lady says to her maid: “Give me my girdle and see that all the furniture be at it. Look that pinchers, the penknife, the knife to close letters with, the bodkin, the ear picker and the scale be in the case.”” Girdles were in some respects like the chatelaines of more modern times, but they differed therefrom in being more useful, more comprehen- sive in regard both to sex and to ar- ticles worn, and when completely fin- ished more costly. It is partly for this reason that we find girdles bequeathed as precious heirlooms and as valuable presents to keep the giver’s memory green after death. They were not in- frequently of great intrinsic value. The Price of a Life. “This book had alliterative sentences { According to Anglo-Saxon law, ev- arranged under each letter, thus: “‘Callous Caroline caned a cur cruel- 1y’ ‘“‘Henry hated the heat of heavy hats.’ “Under the letter V came the face- tious sentence: ““Villiam Vilkins viped his veskit.’ “But the young prince’s snobbish tutors thought this sentence too vulgar and low tor their charge and accord- ingly they substituted for it the more refined and genteel line: “‘Vincent Vining viewed a vacant villa.” ” Genius and Mediocrity. Corneille did not speak correctly the language of which he was such a mas- ter. Descartes was silent in mixed” society. Themistocles, when asked to play on a lute, said, “I cannot fiddle, but 1 can make a little village into a great city.” Addison was unable to converse in company. Virgil was heavy |- colloquially. La Fontaine was coarse and stupid when surrounded by men. The Countess of Pembroke had been often heard to say of Chaucer that his silence was more agreeable to her than his conversation. Socrates, cele- brated for his written orations, was so timid that he never ventured to speak in public. Dryden said that he was unfit for company. Hence it has been remarked,. “Mediocrity can talk; it is for genius to observe.” The Art of Carpentry. How many common figurative ex- pressions in our language are bor- rowed from the art of carpentry may be seen from the following sentence: “The lawyer who filed the bill, shaved the note, cut’ an acquaintance, split a hair, made -an entry, got up a case. framed an indictment, impaneled a jury, put them into a box, nailed a witness, hammered a judge and bored a whole court, all in one day, has since laid down law and turned carpenter.” Contrary Human Nature. “I suppose it is our natural contrari- ness which makes us do such paradox- fcal things.” “Such as what?” “As makes us long for things when we are short.”—Baltimore American. Annoying. First Angel—What is that spirit fuss- ing about? Second Angel—She says her hatpins stick out beyond her halo. —Harper’s Bazar. ery man's life, including that of the king, was valued at a fixed price, and any one who took it could commute the offense by a money payment upon a fixed scale. The life of a peasant was reckoned to be worth 200 shillings, that of a man of noble birth 1,200 shil- lings, and the killing of a king involved the regicide in a payment of 7,200 shil- lings. It has been pointed out that the heir to the throne could thus get rid of the existing occupant by murdering him and thereafter handing over the fine, according to the scale, to the ex- chequer, when his offense would be purged and his money would come back to himself, for in those days the sovereign received all fines as personal perquisites. There is very little doubt that these rough means were praeti- cally applied in the case of some rulers of England in the preconquest period. —London Telegraph. Stevenson Obliged. Robert Louis Stevenson once sent the following quaint letter to an auto- graph hunter: You have sent me a slip to write on. You have sent me an addressed envelope. You have sent it me stamped. Many have done as much before. You have spelled my name aright, and some have done that. In one point you stand alone; you have sent me the stamps for my postof- fice, not the stamps for yours. What is asked with so much consideration I take a pleasure to grant. Here, since you value it and have been at the pains to earn it by such unusual attentions—here 8 the signature.
