PEACE PROSPECTS BRIGHT: In the time of peace prepare for war. The year 1911 opens with scarcely a speak of the possibility of a war cloud in sight. So far as the political astronomers scan the inter- national skies, the one spot where there is portent of trouble:is Tur- key. Nominally a republic, ' the real power behind the government is the organization of Young Turks. That organization is playing now with Great Britian, now' with France and now with Germany, and is only anxious to get in and keep in on the first floor. So far as human eye can see the only place where the match may be touched off to explode’the: magizine and cause a European'explosion is the realm of the banished sultan. But as Turkey has always been the “sick man” of Burope there is not much danger of ‘an “explosion‘ that I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY | Quite Right. Bemidji Pioneer: “Men who are always -ready to fight for Bemidji first, last and’ all: the ~ time—not difeamers, ‘but ‘workers; 'men = with ‘threir coits oft“#ird their sleeves rolled up when the welfare of our citizens is at stake, are the ones who should be intrusted with duties of muniei- pal government, upon whom honors should be thrust.” Then those al- together ‘without sleeves will receive the largest measure of trust, accord- ing to this basis—Duluth News Tri- bune.

Wassailing of Apple Trees Still Ob- sorved In Parts of England. What is the wassailing of apple trees? This is-an -old custom, fast- dying out, but still observed in parts of Somerset and Devon. At . Wooton- Basset, near Minehead, the ceremony takes place on old Twelfth eve. All assemble at the farmhouse and after a hearty meal form a procession to the nearest -orchard, the master in front with a light-and men with old guns, blunderbusses and anything that makes a noise In the rear. Plenty of cider 13 taken and some pieces of toast, ‘When the orchard is reached a ring is formed, and the master, in the cen- ter,’ seizes a branch’and sings'a verse beginning “Oh, apple tree, I wassail thee, in hopes-that-thou wilt blow.” Then all shout in chorus: Hatfuls, capfuls, three bushel bagtuls, Barn floorfuls, tullet holefuls And a little heap under the stairs. Then follow cheers, drinking of healths, shouts of “Now, Tom Pod, we .| wassail thee!” and the placing of the Pleces of toast, soaked in cider, among the branches for the robins.—London Answers, Surprised Her. A gentleman who had spent the greater portion: of ' his life in Canada relates an amusing -experience which befell him. He had been on a hunting expedition for several ‘days in the hackwoods, roughing it rather -severely, and on taking a seat in a raillway train re- turning homeward he looked as be- grimed and weather beaten a trapper 88 ever brought his'skins into a set- tlement. He happened to find a seat next to a young 1lady, evidently belonging to Boston; who, after taking stock of him for a few minutes, remarked: “Don’t you find an utterly passion- ful sympathy with nature’s mountains and the dim aislesof 'the horizon touching forests, my good man?®” “Oh, yes,” replied the apparent back- ‘woodsman, “and also I am frequently drawn'into an exaltation ‘of rapt soul- fulness and beatific -incandescent in- finity ‘of alstractcontiguity ‘when imy horse stumbles.” “Indeed!” said the young lady, much surprised: - “I-had- no -idea -the lower classes . felt - like that.”—Chicago- Rec- ord-Herald.

St. Paul, Jan. 27.—Reckless-extrava- gance marks the present 'session of Caged Pythons, Oarl Hagenbeck thus described an adventure with caged pythons: “My son Helnrich had no sooner opened the door of the cage than the four reptiles, as though by prearranged plan, flew at bim with wide open Jaws. One of hem very’ nearly-Succeeded in colling dtself rotd him,/but hé defended himy| i;::’t Vigbrously, and I'and a keeper “tohis ald,-but"it-Was some min- utes before we succeeded in freelng him.

It was a life and death struggle that then ensued, but by ‘ex- erting all our might we at last suc. ceeded’in tearing ‘away the reptile and forcitig it into a sack.” the house, according to 'a statement|* & made by Dr. W. T. Stone of Park Rapids. This position was strongly secanded by W. A. Harding of Winne- bago, who has-gone to the trouble of securing a list of the house employes and computing the amount of money spent daily for the house organization. According to these two members the house spends $80 a day for doorkeep- ers. This is only a starter, says Mr. |’ Harding, the total expense- for “em- ployes being $436 daily. “The whole organization -of the house is wrong,”-says Dr. Stone. “When we remember that there ‘are thousands ‘of people -in this state to whom tax collection ‘day is a financial crisis the servants of these people should not be flagrantly wasteful, It doesn’t ‘seem reasonable to me that we need-two strong men-to guard the inside doors, or three men in the cloakroom, or three more in the gal- ‘tery, which is reserved for people' who never come.” : Not Properly ‘Organized. “The trouble said Rufus P. Morton, the:Prohibitionist from Brick- ton, “the house is not properly organ- ized.” “No,” replied Dr. Stone, “it is not. The whole-thing is ‘settled long before the new member from the country gets to St. Paul. "We have nothing to say about it. The speaker is chosen, the employes selected, the chief clerk ready to go to work, before we know what's going on.” Mr. Harding went back to the mat- ter of expense. “If all the coats in the cloakroom were stolen,” he said, “the house could afford to buy an en- tire new outfit for the members and then save several thousand dollars if we did away with the doorkeepers and cloakroom men. What we should have are lockers. Then the property of the house could be taken care of perma- nently so that-we would not be obliged to buy new stuff at the opening of each term. This would make an im- mediate saving of $1,200 and a great deal more than that-for the future.” —_— Labor rids us of three great evils= irksomeness, vice and -poverty.—Vol- taire, . DEEDS, NOT WORDS Bemidji-People Have Absolute Proof of Deeds at Home, It’s not words but deeds that prove true merit. The deeds of Doan’s Kidney Pills, For Bemidji kidney sufferers, Have made their local reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Be- midji people who have been cured to stay cured. Mrs. L. Kane, 615 Fourth St., Be- midji, Minn,, says: “I was afflicted with kidney trouble for a number of years. My system was filled with uric acid that my kidneys failed to remove and I was often bothered by a shortness of breath. A few weeks 2go I procured a’supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I am well pleased with the results-I-have thus far re- ceived from their use. I intend to continue taking this remedy.” (Statement given in August 1907). GOOD WORK Mrs. . Kane was interviewed on October 6, 1910 and she said: “1 am glad to again endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.
