JACKSON LAWYER Bemidji, Minnesota H. FISK . ATTORNEY AT LAW Office over City Drug Store The Power of Paderewski. A hard headed business man went to hear Paderewski play, says A. IL Thomas in Success Magazine. The man is not a musician. He spends his days trying to buy cotton when it i low and sell it whep it is high. This is how he described his experience at the piano recital. “You know, I'm not easily stirred Gp. and 1 don’t know anything about mu- sic. 1 wouldn’t know whether a man was playing the piano extremely well or just fairly well. But I do know that Paderewski played one thing that afternoon that stirred we up as | nev- er was stirred in my life. { dopn’t re- member what it was. 1 couldn’t have 70id whether he was playing an hour or five minutes. All I kuow is that it stirred up feelings within me I had never felt before. Great waves of emo- tion swept over me. 1 wanted to shout and 1 wanted to ecry, and when the last chord was struck I found myself on my feet waving my umbrella and shouting like a wild Indian. 1 went our of that hall as weak as a rag and happier than I'd been in years. 1 can’t account for it. ['ve tried, but I can’t explain it. Can you?” A Born Diplomat. “Splendid!’ exclaimed the old colo- nel as C company passed the saluting base. 7 “Did you hear wot ole nasty face ses?” No. 3 of the front rank asked No. 4. “Stand fast after parade, No. 4, for talking in -the ranks!” snapped a ser- geant from near by. “It wasn't me talkin’!” muttered No. 4. “You’d better not git two on us in trouble,” advised No. 3 in a whisper. “Talking while marching past!” ech- oed the adjutant. *“What on earth did you find to talk about then?” “As we was passing the salutin’ base,” explained Nq. 4, “the colonel ses, ‘Splendid!” ‘Yes,' I ses to meself, ‘an’ you've got the smartest officer in the British army to thank for makin’ us splendid. and that’s our adjutant.’” “Er—sergeant, send the man away and don't bring such ‘frivolous com- plaints before me again,” snapped the adjutant.—London Answers. | Hakkerup Saying . That old bluff that the Photographers are too busy just before Xmas, wont be a good excuse this year when you fail to give your picture to friends. . I have two additional men work- ing in my Studio the last ten days before Xmas; the most modern Printing apparatus for electric light and can turn out work not alone faster, but better and more uniform than ever before. The Hakkerup Studio The Change of a Word. “You wouldn't think there’d be enough difference between the definite and the indefinite article to matter much, would you?" said a woman who writes for a living.. “I made a lifelong enemy of a woman once just by writ- ing ‘the’ where I meant ‘a.’ It was an account of her wedding I was doing. 1 said something about the ceremony be. ing performed at the home of the bride’s aunt. and then 1 added that there were present ‘only the few friends of the family.’ The bride nev- er got over that ‘the’ in front of few. It happened five years ago, and when my name is mentioned she still froths at the mouth.,”—Washington Post. Burglar’s Besetting Sin. The burglar’s besetting sin is heed- lessness. The chances are that it was heedlessness that first drove him out of honest employment and made a bur- glar of him. The burglar ransacks a house and carries away a spoon hold- er, a card tray or some other inexpen- sive souvenir of the occasion, and he overlooks the thousand dollar bill on the dining room table and the rope of pearls on the towel rack. This heed- lessness seems to be common to the whole fraternity. We do not know what the experience of other cities is, but in Newark the burglar leaves an astonishing amount of portable wealth behind him invariably. When he reads on the day after the robbery that he took Mrs. De Stile’s chafing dish and ignored her $300 ruby bracelet beside it or that he upset the Pompleys’ dresser drawer to get the revolver and failed to see the government bonds that lay in plain sight on the wash- stand, how he much gnash his teeth and hate himself for neglecting to de- velop his powers of attention and ob- servation in his youth!—Newark News. Beaver Tales. The Indians say that if a beaver sent out from the parents’ lodge fails to find a mate he is set to repair the dam. If be fails a second time he is banished. An Arab writer has the same story. He tells us that those who buy beaver skins can distinguish between the skins of masters and slaves. The lat- ter have the hair of the head rubbed off because they bhave to pound the wood for their masters’ food and do it with their heads.

His duties were similar to those of the in- spector of the modern health depart- ment, who forbids the sale of decayed vegetables or tainted meat. The word comes from a root meaning “to sift.”” The impurities sifted out have in the course of generations corrupted the term till a “garbled report” is no long er a report wherefrom all uncertainty has been removed, but one that is full of misrepresentation and made mis- leading with deliberate intent. Mississippi Steamboating. The steamboat age on the Mississippm began about 1821 and flourished for fifty years. As early as 1834 the num- ber of steamboats on the Mississippi and its tributaries is estimated at 230, and in 1842 there were 450 vessels, with a value of $25,000,000. But the golden era was from 1848 till the war. Never did the valley and steamboating prosper more than then. Thousands of bales of cotton were annually shipped to southern markets, and the wharfs of St. Louis and Memphis and Vicks- burg and other large ports were stack- ed with piles of merchandise and lined with scores of steamers.—Travel Mag- azine.

It is the custom of a well known minister to point his sermons with either “dearly beloved brethren” or “now, my brothers.” One day a lady member of his congregation took ex- ception to this. “Why do you always preach to the gentlemen and vever to the ladies?” she ‘asked. “My dear lady,” said the beaming vicar, “one embraces the other.” “But not in the church!” was the in- stant reply. Bemidji The Cruel Reason. Mrs. Gossip—How does it come that Mrs. Newrich invited you to her party? I thought you were enemies. Mrs. Sharp—We are, but she thought I had nothing fit to wear and wanted to make me feel bad.
