Brainerd doesn’t care so much a“out the saloons but she doesn’t see how she is going to keep house with- out that license money. The newspapers continue to roast Jim Hill for something he never said, which is satisfactory to the news- papers, if it is to Mr. Hill. The seismograph at Washington yesterday recorded earthquake dis- turbances. It probably was the Christmas shoppers at last getting busy. Forty-six years ago a steamboat excursion carried a large crowd down the river from St. Paul. This year they would have to have anice boat if they wanted to go. The docm of the hobble skirt has| . been officially sealed. That’s right. It should be securely wrapped in a cancelled postage stamp and hurled violently into oblivion. The women of America are too far advanced to permit mere fashion to make them walk like an intaxicated grasshopper. No siree!

The present porulation is given by Census Di: rector Durand as 19,337, an increase, using these figures, of 7,507. In 1900, however, the popfilatiun of what is now Clearwater county was included in that of Beltrami. At the time Clearwater was estab- lisbed it had a population of approxi- { mately 2,500, therefore despite the Clearwater loss, the above gain bas been made. NEEDN’T APOLOGIZE. The following editorial expres. sion appears in the current issue of the Spooner Northern News: «‘Considerably handicapped in the matter of getting out our publication, thus far, we have probably not brought out as ela- borate a sheet as might have been desired and as we wanted to. How ever we are pleased to advise our readers that the News expects to be in a position in the near future to not only equal its former self, but to surpass its past issues; and moreover we expect to have our own job-department in operation again before another month has passed.” Ne apology is needed from the News. A paper able to withstand, without missring an issue, the withering blast, which darted from the forest on October 7 last, is en- titled to unstinted praise. You have done fine, Mr. News. The Pioneer congradulates you and is proud of you and’is glad that you live in Bel- trami county. GOOD CAUSE FOR ALARM One of the. bright reporters who are “on the job” in Washington sends out this one. Senator La Follette, militant, ir- repressible and fear-nothing insur- | his resignation to take effect at once. gent from the Badger State, re- turned to Washington this morning comrparatively fresh from the oper- ating-room of a hospital. For years the Wisconsin senator has had to combat personal physical illness, as well as public evils, and at times his bard work in the Senate has sent him to his bed. Everybody knows what a fighter he has been under all circumstances. At the close of the brief session of the Senate this morning groups of senators gathered in the center" aisle and the space in front of the desks. Regulars and insurgents were" in close contact. Senator Aldrich was standing near Senator La Follette. “Now that I am over my internal troubles I am able to do' things,” said Mr. La Follette, “I have been sluggish for years.” Senator Aldrich threw up his hands and cried: *“Good Lord.” | WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY | One Sweetly Solemn Thought If the sugar trust is dissolved, will it become a molasses trust?— Duluth News Tribune. They Must Be Crazy Insane inmates of the asylum at Jacksonville, Florida, are to publish a newspaper, which no doubt will prove as readable and up to date as some of the papers published by men outside of the asylums.—Still- water Gazette. Smoking and Kissing. The university pundits who like to read their names in print have decided that neither kissing nor smoking is as black as it is painted. A Chicago professor tells hlS classes that kissing is a lesser evil on the whols than shaking hands. This is ‘only theory, though the professor’s classes. would doubt- less have aided him in an experi- mental demonstration, such as‘the head of Columbia university gym- nasium made to decide what effect smoking has upon college’ stud- ents, ' Careful experiments made upon two hundred students about equally divided indicated that tobacco has no appreciable effect either physical or mental except upon those who begin it before ‘| ty in Syria A.

Barnard concludes from his personal - observation of cobras in Ceylon; says the Scientific American, that the ser- pent’s traditional love for music is a pure fable and that the only effect of music is to arouse the reptile’s: curios- ity, which is excited by any loud and- acute sound. The cobra protrudes its head from its burrow, alike on: hearing the snake charmer’s flute, the rattling of a chain or the sounds made by beating the ground with a switch:'* It appears to perceive -only sounds of high pitch, for it pays no attention to the low notes of the flute or the:beat-. ing of the drum.
