Outside the three cities of Minne- apolis, St. Paul and Duluth, Minne- sota’s growth of more than a quarter of a million during the past decade is most substantial in the far north- ern parts of the state, and in this upbuilding Bemidji occupies an hon- orable position. From a young and and struggling lumber camp town of scarcely more than 2,000 souls— including the gamblers and other un- desirables—Bemidji has forged stead- ily onward until the federal census concedes her a population of 5,099, more than double her size of a decade ago. As a matter of fact there probably are many more persons in Bemidji than is indicated by the census re- port. The city directory figures in- dicate a much larger population, but there is little room for complaint on the showing made by this city in the federal census announcement because it illustrates the healthy growth of our thriving muniecipality. A strong point in favor of the pres- est Bemidji over ten years ago is the character of the residents and the im- proved moral atmosphere over the lawless years which marked the early days’s of the town’s existence. Except for the range towns which have sprung up like mushrooms since the discovery of iron ore,—Virginia with her mere handful ten years ago and more than 10,000 now, is a strik- ing example—Bemidji has shown as rapid growth as any of the smaller cities in the state, far outstripping her near neighbors, such as Brainerd or Crookston. And best of all, the growth has been a healthy one and with the de- velopment of the surrounding coun- try Bemidji will continue to increase in size and importance, and with the coming of another census by the gov- ernment ten years hence it is not unreasonable to presume that the present population will again be more than doubled. There isn't a better town in the state and nome of the newer ones are better or more favor- ably known.

Eveleth merchants have started a crusade to keep Eveleth money at home instead of having -it shipped to outside concerns for general com- modities. One of the surest methods of keeping money in any community; is to meet the price of the catalogue house and then put in about one- tenth the amount the catalogue house does in advertising. Make advertis- |ing a part of your business, the same gas the buying of stock; give the buy- near ers prices, keep the new arrivals on your shelves before him and the trade will come. That’s the reason it goes in many instances.—Virginia Enter- prise. The Editor He sits in state from sun to sun, |and hands out wisdom by the ton. One Anxious Correspondent writes for something that cures chigger bites; and Old Subscriber wants to know a good recipe for canning snow; and More Anon would like to have a for- mula for making salve. From dema- gogues he takes the hides; he gives advice to blooming brides; with scorn assails the idle rich, and oft pre- scribes for barber’s itch. He shows how wildly congress errs, and tells us how the cookleburs may be removed from horse’s tails; and then with Jjoyous zest he sails into an estimate of Taft, or jolts the referendum graft. His soul with mystic lore is fraught; he has to be an aeronaut, a poet and an engineer, a pugilist devoid of fear. He should be skilled enough to shave, or milk a cow, or dig a grave; to write a dirge when some one dies, and wink three times when some one lies. He ought to know all things, and then impart his wisdom with his pen, and not give way to grief or fear, if he is busted all the year.— Walt Mason.

Chasles, who was in his dotage, purchased within a few years from one Vrain- Lucas no fewer than 27,000 auto- graphs. A. M. Broadley tells the story in his “Chats on Autographs:” ‘“‘Be- ginning with a supposed correspond- ence between the youthful Newton and Pascal, Vrain-Lucas proceeded to fabricate letters of Rabelais, Montes- quieu and La Bruyere. Before he had finished M. Chasles became the posses- sor of letters in French, and written on paper made in France, of Julius Cae- sar, Cleopatra, Mary Magdalene and even of Lazarus after his resurrec- tion.” Vrain-Lucas was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, and among other forged manuscripts from his pen, there were produced in court letters from Alexander the Great, Herod, Pompey, Judas Iscariot, Sappho, Pon- tus Pilate and Joan of Arc! The Llama With a Saddle. In his native country the llama is trained as a beast of burden, and in this capacity is very useful for, hard and wiry by nature, he can carry as much as a 160 pounds. As a mount, too, he is quite easy to train. Indeed. both the llama and the oneiko take to the saddle as to the manner born when once they have assured them- selves that their teacher wishes them well. Their most striking peculiarity as saddle animals, however, is a strong objection to having their héads In any way pulled about by their riders. So long as their mouths are left alone they will amble along quite contented- ly at a fair rate of speed, but if they are ridden by some one with a heavy hand they show a tendency to stop at once, whipping round in a manner dis- tinctly disconcerting to those who do not quite realize what Is golng to hap- pen.—Wide World Magazine.

Some time ago an eminent London physiclan 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 lberally than the last did.” “Why?” said the M. D. “Did he not give you a fee?” 3 “Not a shilling,” was the reply. “Indeed!” said the eminent physi- clan, with a toss of the head. “Why, he borrowed 2 guineas from me to give to you!”—Tit-Bits. Inertia of the Nerves. The researches and experiments of a French sclentist 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 of making as many as thirty or forty. When given as soon as the croupy cough appears Chamberlain’s- Cough Remedy will ward off an attack of croup and prevent all danger and cause of anxiety. Thousands of mothers use it successfully.

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,” said Mrs. Jones, “but it had its brigbt side. John and 1 were both afraid to discharge our ook, but now that the house is gone of courseWwe don't have to.’—Harper's ‘Weekly.

There Was No Applause, Just before the operation began the operating surgeon said to the students, “Now, gentlemen, no applause, if you please.” ‘When he was convalescing the pa- tient declared that that warning re- mained his most vivid impression of the ordeal. “I wondered then how any human being could have the heart to applaud an act that had brought another face to face with death, but later 1 under- stood. On account of heart trouble they did not dare administer an anaes- thetle, so I was conscious of every- thing, and in spite of the pain I re- alized that the surgeon was doing a mighty skillful plece of work. No wonder the students wanted to ap- plaud. They were justified in it. “‘Some years ago they would have clapped the house down after an ex- hibition of that kind,’ an old hospital attendant told me, ‘but nowadays doc- tors discourage any such demonstra- tion.’ "—New York Sun. Medicires that aid n2ture are al ways most effectual. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy acts .on this plan. It allays the cough, relicves the lungs, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. Thousands have testified to 1ts superior excellence.

Whistler’s Friendships, That Whistler, the man of famous enemies, bad faithful friends s re- called by Ford Madox Hueffer, writing of the pre-Raphaelites in Harper's Magazine. Madox Brown had a circu- lar printed drawing the attention of all his old patrons to the merits of ‘Whistler's etchings and begging them in the most urgent terms to make pur- chases because Whistler was in in- digent circumstances. The story is that upon one occasion Madox Brown, going to a tea party at the Whistlers' in Chelsea, was met in the hall by Mrs. Whistler, who begged him to go to the poulterer’s and purchase a pound of butter. The bread was cut, but there was nothing to put upon ft: ‘There was no money in the house, the poulterer had cut off his credit, and Mrs. Whistler said “she dared not send her husband, for he would certafnly punch the tradesman’s head.” Different Altogether.

Regularly at this hour a herd of twenty to thir- ty chamois. may be seen passing in Indian file up the yawning abysses of the precipitous Mettenberg rocks, sep- arating two glaciers, the male animals leading the way, the king of the herd keeping twenty yards in advance and on the watch. ‘At the bottom of the Mettenberg, ‘where the slope is freed from snow, the chamois find a meager subsistence when their usual feeding grounds are’ under deep 'snow. It is a curious fact ‘that the chamois de- scend to their feeding grounds at dawn, when there is little lkelihood of avalanches, and return to. their haunts at an hour when' avalanches— for this portion of the mountain has frequent avalanches—have already fall- en and the danger 1is past.—Geneva Cor. Pall Mall Gazette. Pussy and the Burglar. A good dog-has hitherto been con- sidered the best protection against bur- glars, but a certain old lady differs from this view. She belleves in cats, and, her house being broken into not long ago. she proceeded to put her theory into practice, and with marvel- ously good resunits. The midright hour bad not long struck when she heard unusual sounds in the bail below. She slipped out of bed, took her faithful feline in her arms and walked quietly on to the landing. She leaned- over. The burglar was on the stairs. Sud- | denly in an unlucky moment hé struck a-match upon the stalrcase. The lady could see the burglar, but the burglar could not see the lady. She held puss up and then dropped her upon the bur- glar's head. The cat uttered an un- earthly screech and then commenced to scratch for all it was worth. Puss was certainly the willing worker. The next instant the man was outside in the street.—Manchester Guardian. The House Arsenal. Tubbs Bilious Man’s Friend. | Tubbs White Pine Cough Cure. Tubbs White Liniment. Tubbs Iodomyrrh.

The man who Is anxiously watching the steeple jack at work 300 feet from the ground is approached by a pass- ing acquaintance. “Hello, Brown!” says the latter. “Are you still here? It's fully an hour ago that I saw you standing in the very same spot.” “That fellow up there gives me the cold shivers,” says Brown. “He makes we feel weak in the knees.” “Going back to your office?” inquires the friend. “I guess 50,” Brown reluctantly re- plies. *There doesn’t seem to be much use in waiting any longer. 1 don’t be- lleve he is going to fall.” And heturned away with a lingering glance at the intrepid jack.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Great Age of Halley’s’ Comet. While Halley's comet has been iden- tified as a member of our system for over 2,000 years, certain characteris- tics of its orbit lead us to believe that it has been with us at least ten or perhaps 100 times as long as that. According to all accounts, it was a magnificent object at the time of the Norman conquest in 1066. Its head was equal to the full moon in size, and its tall increased to a wonderful length.—Century.

They Hke pasture grasses, but they seem to like ‘weeds and bushes even better for browse. They will often clean up an old fleld in a year or two, so that what was a tangle or unsightly weeds and shrubs will appear a smooth shaven lawn. Angoras are simply wonders at this sort of thing. but the common, everyday sheep of the ordinary ‘breed will do mighty good work if you con- fine her to her job and put in enough of her.

Soon Tired of His Books. The 7,000 volumes of chronicles and travels from which Gibbon distilled the “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” were purchased by Beckford after the writer's death. “I bought it,” said the author of “Vathek,” “to have something to read when I passed through Lausanne.” There were few rarities in the collection, but most of the authors were in the best obtain- able editions and in perfect condition. The fastidious Gibbon was incapable of behaving disrespectfully to a book. For six weeks Beckford reveled in his purchase and read himself nearly blind. He soon tired of his books, however, and presented the whole. collection to a German physician named Schell. The recipient showed his appreciation of the treasure by promptly selling it. | Not Moved by Kindness. | A stout woman entered a crowded | car and took hold of a strap directly !1n front of a man seated in the corner.
