JACKSON LAWYER Bemidji, Minnesoiz H. FISK . ATTORNEY AT LAW Office over City Drug Store Big Cargo, Little Ship. An old official of the navy tells the following story 'of a conversation he heard between two old sailors: - *It was a rat ship | was sailin’ in that trip," said one of the shellbacks. “one of the dingdest rat ships I ever knew. They was rats in it from bow to:'stern, rats in the bold, in the galley, in the steerage, in the fo'castle, in the old man’s room—everywhere rats, nothin® but. “Bimeby it got so bad we had to put in an’ get them off. So we hooked up to a dock an' fumigated. I was on deck. an’ I saw them rats leavin’. I ‘counted ’em. They was 15,000.000 of em.” “I'ifteen million?” asked the other. “Ain't that a lot o’ rats? Are you sure?” “Sure! Yes, I'm sure. They was 15000000 rats, and I counted ‘em. More than that, every rat weighed half a pound. They was big, fat, sassy ones, I'm tellin".” “Fifteen million rats, and' every one weighed half a pound, and they all came off your ship. That’s 7,500,000 pounds of rats. Say, Jim, what was the tonnage of that ship?” *Oh, about a hundred and fifty tons.” —Judge. His Sarcastic Apology. A well known New Yorker figured in a quaint encounter with a “pan- handler” mot long ago. The fellow had asked him for a dime, when the following conversation took place: “You're ¢ positive nuisance! Tues day you struck me for a dime, Thurs- day I gave you another, and now you have the nerve to ask for a third!” “Excuse me, but are you the gent that gave me a dime on this corner the day before yesterday?” *Yes.” “And now I've tackled you for the third dime?” “Yes) *Waal,” said the hobo contritely, “I sincerely beg your pardon, old man. That’s too much gall even for me. The only excuse 1 have to offer is that you have improved so much in your personal appearance that I didn’t rec- ognize you.”—Cleveland Leader. Both Stung. Some time ago an eminent London physician requested an equally emi- nent surgeon to accompany him to see a distinguished but slippery patient. The patient was exceedingly polite to both the medical gentlemen, shaking hands with them and bowing them out of the room in the most affable man- ner. ‘Soon after this professional visit the same physician called again on the surgeon, requesting him to accompany him to see another patient. On their way thither the surgeon observed, “I ‘hope this patient will behave more liberally than the last did.” “Why?” said the M. D. “Did he not give you a fee?" “Not a shilling,” was the reply. “Indeed!” "said the eminent physi- “Why, he borrowed 2 guineas from me to .give to you!"—Tit-Bits. Inertia of the Nerves. The researches and experiments of a French scientist have led him to'the conclusion that the cerebral nervous system is incapable of perceiving more than an average of ten separate im- pressions per second. After each ex- citation of the nerves a period of in- ertia’ follows, lasting about one-tenth of a second, and during this period a new impression cannot be made. Ac- .cording to the investigations of this ‘scientist a person cannot make more than ten or at the most a dozen sep- arate voluntary movements “of any kind in a second, although the muscles, independently of the will, are capable ©f making-as many as thirty or forty. A Romantic Career. The romantic career of a very re- markable man, John Gully, who sec- onded Cribb in his battle with Moli- neaux, is thus summed up in the “Dictionary of National Biography:” “Prizefighter, horse racer, legislator and colliery proprietor.” Gully fought his first fight just before Trafalgar. He fought his last and retired from the prize ring in a blaze of triumph seven years before Waterloo. Gully rose to be a rich man and a member of parliament. He won the Derby three times and was the owner of a large and prosperous colliery. He dled in 1863, the father of twenty-four chil- dren. Compensation. “I felt so sorry when I heard your house was burned down, Mrs. Jones,” said Mrs. Hawkins. “It was too bad,” sald Mrs. Jones, “but it had its bright side. John and I were both afraid to discharge our cook, but now that the house is gone of course%we don’t have to.,”—Harper’s ‘Weekly. Supplying a Want. Shabby Individual (to painter up lad- der)—HI, you're dropping your paint all over me. Painter—Well, you're badly in need of a coat of some sort.—London Tit- Bits. A Better Position. . “Why did Dollarby sell his hotel?” “He wasn’'t making money fast enough.” “What is he doing now?” “He’s luxuriating in the position of #ead wajter."—Pearson:s Weekly. That Boy Again. Mrs. Boardem—I ordered lamb and you sent me mutton. Butcher—It was lamb when it left here, mum.—Judge’s Library. Good reasons must. of course, give place to better.—Shakespeare, Prayer Meeting In the Commons. For many years a prayer meeting has been held in the house of com- mons once a week during every parlia- mentary sesslon. No one knows who originated the ‘idea, but the records of the proceedings. which are faithfully noted each week, show that in the year 1833 the well known Quaker Mr. T. Fowell Buxton and the evangel- icals Sir George Grey and Mr. Zach- ary Macauley were in constant at- tendance. The prayer meeting is held in a room granted for the purpose by the sergeant-at-arms and is restricted to twenty minutes. The proceedings are very simple. At each weekly meet- ing a president for the following week is chosen. On the day of assembling— Tuesday, at 5 'o’clock—the president for the day opens the meeting, reads a portion of the Scriptures and either offers an extempore prayer or calls on one of the members to pray. Two or three others offer. short prayers, and the meeting closes with the benedic- tion.—London News. He Begs Pardon No More. Jones had just trod on the toe of an old gentleman while getting into the tram car. “I -beg your pardon,” he said. “Hey? Speak louder. T'm a trifle deaf.” “I beg your pardon,” repeated Jones. “H’m! Peggy starving? Well, I'm sorry. Who's Peggy?”’ Jones was red in the face now. “You misunderstand, sir!” he shout- ed. “Hey ?” “You misunderstood!” “Miss Underwood, is she? Peggy. who is starving, is Miss Underwood? Well?” “l didn’t say anything about Miss TUnderwood!” screamed Jones. “I beg- ged your pardon, and you misunder- stood.” “Oh, now I see!” said the old man sympathetically. “It is your Aunt Peggy who is starving Miss Under- wood. Well, why don’t you report the case to the police?’—Pearson’s. Not In Her Class. While delivering an address at a woman’s club an actress told the story of a young woman prominent. in New York society who desired to achieve histrionie -honors. The manager to whom she confided her desire pointed out the inddvisabil- ity of the step she contemplated and added that even were he disposed to give her the chance she coveted he would still be in doubt whether her talents were such as to justify such action on his part. “What is particularly desired by us at the present time,” he said, “is the service of people who know the me- chanics of the stage.” “Merciful heavens!” exclaimed the young woman, throwing up her hands. “You don’t mean to tell me that it is necessary 1 should be on terms of in- timacy with those dreadful stage hands ?’—Lippincott’s. Proud of His Prospects. Louis Pierre was one of a number of Canadian immigrants who settled at Fitzgerald, Ga. As he spoke both French and English he rapidly be- came a man of importance and was successively elected to the offices of city marshal, coroner and justice of the peace. A dispute arose between the French and English settlers as to the superiority of the United States over the Canadian provinces. They finally agreed to leave the decision to Judge Pierre, who handed down this Qecision: “Yoost tage a loog at me. Ferst dey mage me constabul, den coroner, und now joostis of de pees. Soon I be ze governair, den senator, den president. I would be ze long time in Canadaire ’fore dey mage me queen.”—Circle Magazine. A Diet of Wild Honey. ‘Wild honey as a change is an agree- able sweetmeat, but after a few days constantly partaking of it the Euro- pean -palate rejects it as nauseous and almost disgusting. Our experience ex- tended over a. fortnight, during which period our food consisted solely of it and maize. It has escaped the Biblical commentators that one of the princi- pal hardships that John the Baptist must have undergone was his diet of wild honey.—Geographic Magazine. Ancient Oath Taking. A method of taking the oath far mdre hygienic than kissing the book was that observed at the Forest of Dean Mine court for about 500 years, beginning in the thirteenth century. It was not for any hygienic reasons, but to. prevent soiling the book that the miners before giving evidence touched the four gospels with a stick of holly. The witnesses wore their hats to show that they were free min- ers.—London Chronicle. { Only Part-of the Truth. Ives—I saw Captain Deepeeres today. Beers—Well, what if you did? Ives— ‘What if 1 did? Didn’t you tell me that he was with his vessel when she went. down last week with all on board? Beers—Yes, but 1. didn’t tell you his vessel was a submarine.—Chi- cago News. 4 An Exception. Binks—Here is somebody who 'says that no woman'is a suffragist unless she has a grouch on some man. Sinks —That’s queer. My wife isn’t a suf- fragist.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

It Really Happens. The Woman—Here's a' wonderful thing. I've just been reading of a man: who reached the age of forty without learning how to read or write. He met a woman, and for her sake he made a scholar of himself in two years. The Man—That’s nothing. I know a man who was a profound scholar at forty. Then he met a wo- man and for her sake made a -fool of himself in two days.—Cleveland Lead- er. Nothing More to Say. “Sir,” said the candidate, “you prom- ised to vote for me!” “Vell,” said his Dutch friend, “and vat if I did?” “Well, sir, you voted against me!” “Vell, vat if 1 did?” “Then, sir, you lied!” “Vell, vat if 1 did?” Smart Bobby. Minister—So you are going to school now, are you, Bobby? Bobby (aged six)—Yes, sir. Minister—Spell kitten for me. Bobby—Oh, I'm further ad- vanced than that. Try me on cat.— Chicago News. A Great Thinker. “Bliggins puts a great deal of thought into his work.” “Yes: he works ten minutes and then thinks about it for an hour and a quarter.” The peculiar properties of Cham ’berlain’s Cough Remedy have been thoroughly tested during epidemics of influenza, and when it wastaken in time we have not heard of a single case of pneumonia. Sold by Bar- ker’s Drug Store. Antiquated Customs. There is no court in Europe more tenacious of its etiquette—which was inaugurated several hundreds of years ago—than that of Spain. It is said that King Ferdinand VIL once made a minister resign because he had ac- cidentally touched his hand. One of the quaintest ceremonies is the closing of the royal palace gates at Madrid every night. Electric light has been in use in the palace for quite a long while, but nevertheless every evening at 11 o'clock the officiating gentleman in waiting, appears, accompanied by several servants, who carry, ancient lanterns, to demand a huge key from a higher official to lock the doors of the palace. This is all the more amus- ing as the huge key does not fit the modern keyholes. The key is then re- turned to a third official, and every night . gentlemen in waiting have to patrol the corridors of the palace, though sufficient guards are about, to watch over the slumbers of their royal master. U SR S Paul the Tyrant. Paul 1. of Russia was very deaf and also. very tyrannical. One day an aid- de-camp, intending to please him, ap- proached and cried in his ear, “I am glad to see, your majesty, that your hearing is much improved!” ‘ “What is that you say?” growled the czar. Raising his voice, the aid-de-camp said, “I am glad that your majesty’s hearing is so much improved!” “Ah, that’s it, eh?” chuckled the czar and then added, “Say it once more.” The aid-de-camp repeated the words, whereupon Paul I. thundered: “So you dare to make fun of me, do you? Just wait awhiie.” Next day the aid-de-camp was on his way to the mines of Siberia. Half of success is in seeing the sig- nificance of little things.—Henry F. Cope.
