There were three candidates for commissioner in the third district and A. B.Pederson, (dem.) received 59 votes; John A. Falla, (rep.) 81 votes and Emil Braum, who ran as an independent, usicg stickers, 80, according to the official count. Mr. Baum asserted that three doubtful votes of the village of Rothsay had been thrown out, and he de- manded a recount. The vote was recounted and Baum gained one vote so that he tied with Falla. The question who is to serve is to be sub- mitted to the district court.

The more difficult this delay may be, the more need there is for a cure. The remain- der of the day smoke the same as usual, It is only the first cigar with which we are dealing. Keep this up for a week, then lengthen the interval to an hour for another week, then make it one and a half hours, two, two and a half, and so on. If you have an “all gone” sensation, a long- ing for something “and don’'t know what sort of feeling, eat an orange or apple or almost any kind of fruit, but don’t smoke until the time is up. The nerves being deprived of their morning stimulant are crying for nourishment, which nature is hastening to supply through increased appetite to supply digestion. By the time the first cigar is entirely eliminated the cure is ef- fected with no serious derangement of the heart or digestive agpaxatus It now requires only a moderate will power to make the cure permanent.— St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Crow’s Stratagem. w A crow had been captured by the children in a southern family and brought home and tamed. They were very fond of the crow and treated it with kindness. As in most houses where there are children, there was also a pet cat. The cat and crow were not friendly. One day an unusually nice morsel was given to the cat. This the erow not only looked at with en- vious eyes, but made several attempts to secure, The cat beat off each at- tempt, however, ‘and the crow had to resort to stratagem. Disappearing through the open door, he returned in a few moments with a long string that had been raveled from a rag carpet. Placing this on the floor some little dis- tance in front of the cat, he proceeded to wriggle it as he had seen the chil- dren do when playing with the cat. The cat instantly jumped to catch the string. This was, of course, exactly what the crow wanted, and he pounced upon the coveted morsel and flew away with it.—Harper's Weekly. Waiking. The Almighty has not freighted the foot with a single superfluous part Bvery Inch of every foot is meant for use. When a man walks in the right way, speaking literally, the back of the heel strikes the ground first. Thea the rest of the heel comes down, after which the outer edge of the foot takes the bulk of the burden until the for- ward movement shifts the weight to the ball of the foot and finally to the toes. The ideal step is a slightly rock- ing motion. At no time should the en- tire foot be pressed against the ground. Heel to toe is the movement. Try it an@ see how much farther and more easily you can walk. It's the Indian’s ‘way. and what poor Lo doesn’t know about footwork can go into the discard. | And l'llknfl the living morsel dowm bis —New York Press. no reason why you should not| BEMIDJI BOWLERS BUSY Married Men Best Singles in Hotly Contested Game.

St Paul, Minn.,, Dec. 14—Prepa- rations are going ahead for the Inter- | national Bowling association tourna- ment to be held in St. Paul, Febru- ary 11 to 23. The growth. of the or- ganization in the last year assures the attendance of at least 50 per cent more than were present and participated in the last ‘“‘Looie” meeting. If certain suggestions that "have been made are carried out there will be some desirable prizes for women in this tournament Bowling is grow- ing more popular every day with the fair sex who recognize in the exer- cise it affords the health, beauty and grace giving qualities Reports re- ceived by R. F. Malone, president of the organization show that the num- ber of women bowlers in the Inter- national’s territory is fast increasing. Within the last few weeks St. Paul women, well known in the city’s social circles, have organmzed a Flower League. The league gets its name from each club being named after a flower. This league’s games, however, are rolled under the rules of the American Bowling Congress, but the membersare eligible to mem- bership in the International as well. Thus far in the season the contest (has been very close between the Morning Glories and the Sun Flow:] ers. The other teams, named accor- ding to their standing as last pub- lished are For-get-me-nots, Nastur- iums, Daisies Golden Rods, Da h- lias and Moccasins: Prominent in the affairs of the league are Mes- dames A.

St. Paul has 2500 bowlers and as a center of this great winter sport is second only to one or two other cities, each of which has a larger population than the Minnesota capi- tal. Most of these bowlers are mem- bers of the International and wili belp in making the coming tourna- ment the most successful ever held. The Minneapolis bowlers will co- operate with St. Paul in the arrange- ments, It is assured that there will be teams here from Chicago and other Illinois cities, Milwaukee, Su- perior and other Wisconsin bowling centers, Indianapolis and cities ip Indiana; Dayton, O., and cities in the east; Vancouver, Winnipeg and other Canadian cities; Duluth and the northern part of Minnesota; Fargo, Grand Forks and the cities of North Dakota where bowling is popular; Aberdeen and Watertown, South Dakota; Des Moines, Sioux City, Dubuque, Waterloo and Mar: shall, Iowa; Omaha, St. Joseph, Kan- sas City, Conncil Bluffs and St. Louis.
