ENTERED AS SECOND CLASS MAT- TER AT THE POSTOFFICE AT BE- MIDJI, MINN.,, UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 38, 1879. The weather,K man is getting to be a regular old soak. The attorney general appears to be in no danger of writer’'s cramp from dashing off opinions. There is something about this “pananas by the pound” that sounds like a “lemon” to the publie. Plain Mr. Jeffries probably read with some satisfaction the news that the Hon. J. Johnson, Esq., champ- ion ‘of both colored and uncolored prizefighters, was seasick on his way to London. A RARE OPPORTUNITY. Conventions that bring delegates in special trains and are big enough to attract such men as James A. Tawney and Lafayette Young, both of national reputation, do not come to every town. The gathering of the Minnesota bankers here week will be the most notable event next in Bemidji for many , many moons. It, therefore, is apparent that Be- midji should Improve the opportuni- ty to put her best foot forward and don her brightest gown. By all means decorate as elaborately as possible and let us do everything else that can be done to convince the distinguished visitors, to be num- bered by the hundreds, that Bemidji deserves the reputation of being a city of Boosters. e FOR A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH. There are other reasons than the mere fact that Bemidji is a wide- awake, progressive little city, why she may well decide upon a proper observance of July 4. One is that since 1903 there have been 1,662 persong lose their lives and 35,620 persons because of cri- minally areckless celebrations of In- cependence day in this country. Last year 131 deaths and 2,923 maimed men women and children was tre toll paid for th: po:siring “joy” made by possible by “he manufacturers of fireworks. Nothing would be nicer than for Bemidji to decide to celebrate, but to celebrate in such way as not to jeoardise the lives of children or to endanger property, something along the order of the celebrations in St. Paul and Minneapolis where the grown ups get keen aowilel- pleasure out of the event by joining together to give the youngsters a happy, but harmless Fourth, together with other appropriate exercises would . be en- ergy well expended. Independence day of 1911 is coming. To what city, what town, what mother or father is it this year to bring suffering or sorrow the day after? the three great water systems® of the continent—the Mississippi, the ‘St. Lawrence and Hudson Bay. Northern‘Mim‘\esota is the favored land from which each of these sys- tems takes its toll. “In the lake and river are gamy fish that furnish finny prizes in the king of outdoor sports. In open season there is other plunder, fur- red or feathered. In all seasons,’ but especially in summer there are picturesque delights to be caught by camera or canvas. If one desires the joys of primitive lifes in camp, Northern Minnesota is a region of rare delight. Wild fruits are abun- dant for the diversification of the simple camp menu. If one wants more of the comforts of civilization, there are more luxuriantly appoint- ed camps and well managed hotels and resorts from which to choose. Everywhere life on land and water is invigorating, rejuvenating “Why, then, do the attractions of Northern Minnesota remain untested and untasted of men? Largely be- cause we of Minnesota make such a secret of them. Instead of publish- ing to the world the facts, we say nothing, and many of us even go elsewhere for outings less enjoy- able, while there are more available and less expensive ones at our doors. “This of course, is only one side of the question of State development, but it is a highly important one. And in considering it, as in con- sidering any other phase of the ques- tion, we come up invaribly .against the obstacle of inaccessibility. The lack of good roads interferes al- most as much with the development of Northern Minnesota as a pleasure region, as it does with its develop- ment agriculturally. “It would pay this state as a whole to help on the development of its Northern half. It would pay all Minnesota to push the penetrat- ion of the region with gradually ex- panding system of good roads. The enlarged markets for all sorts of products within the State that would result from the exploitation and peopling of this great region would give an impetus to agricult- ure and trade that would be felt to the uttermost corners and in the smallest hamlets of the State. “We of Minnesota need to get a broader vision, to see beyond petty local interests, to get into the great game of life as a State, to become a commonwealth of united and co- operative interests instead of a mere congeries of selfish communities.” — RETURNED HER HAT. 8he Didn't, but He Did. and He Must Have Been a Brave Man. The bravest man in New York made his appearance in a Broadway store one day last week. He carried an enormous ' bandbox, which contained an enormous hat, on which the man wanted what he considered- an enor- mous amount of money refunded. The man was pretty mad, and while look- ing for some one who had the author- ity to negotiate the transaction he talked loud enough for everybody to hear. “My wife bought this hat.” he said. “She doesn’t need it. She has already bought three hats this season. She paid $35 for this one. She has never worn it. It just came home last night. 1 can’t afford-to throw all that money away, and I want you to take the hat back. She wouldn’t bring it down, so I undertook the job myself.” “By the side of that man Napoleon was a cringing coward,” said the young woman who had made the sale. “Imagine him flouncing into a Parisian millinery shop with a hat that he didn't want Josephine to buy! He couldn’t have done it. Very few men can. Once in a long while some poor New Yorker with the courage of des- — THE JOURMAL AND THE NORTH. A glorious sunrise, giving promise of a day of wonderful transform- ations, is near at hand for the North- ern Minnesota when th¢' press of the state will devote its editorial column to such words as these, taken from the Minneapolis Journal: “Northern Minhesota was design- ed to furnish playgrounds for the Nation. A finer region for summer outings never was devised by Nature than: the woods and waters of the upper half of this State. Lakes of surpassing beauty and. surprising variety are so numerous that many of them lack for names. Water courses practicable for canoes and even for larger craft connect many of them, while rivers running bank full take off their surplus waters to peration in his heart returns merchan- dise which he cannot afford to buy for his wife, and his audacity upsets the whole store for a3 month.,”—New York Sun. : Sleep and Dreams. The brain is more active while en- gaged in dreaming than when not thus engaged. ‘The only perfect sleep is that which is dreamless. The moment the sleeper begins to dream he begins to work. and the more vivid and pro- tracted the dream.the more intense, naturally, becomes the work. It is possible that at no time during the waking hours of life is the brain so active as it is in the strange business of dreaming.

THEY LIKE SHARP FOOD. Lions Gobble Up Porcupines. and Cem- els Eat Spiny Cactus. > A note In the London Field draws at- tention to lions that eat porcupines. It would appear that an animal protect- ed by such powerful spines should be quite secure from attack. Yet, if we may trust the account given. it ap- pears to be a habit on the part of the llon and not an isolated-occurrence. Captain Dumbell had been-told by a ‘native hunter that the lion was in the habit of eating porcupines. And this has been coufirmed by two English sportsmen. V. Kirby, for example. has taken a porcupine’s head from the stomach of a lioness. Others relate that it is not uncommon: to find lions with porcupine quills sticking all over their noses. faces and paws. It seems to argue some indifference to pain on the part of the lion. as well as a fancy for porcupine’s flesh. Compare this with the case of the camel, which a distinguished traveler describes as calmly chewing up a very spiny plant with the blood dripping from its mouth! The cattle in some of the arid parts of America, again. browse on that spiny cactus. And in some parts. of the English coast the horses browse on the prickly sea holly. while the donkey’s partiality for this- tles is well known. Incidentally such cases seem to show that spines in na- ture are not such efficient protectors as some have supposed. Sleight of Hand Poisoning. A very curious item in toxicological lore I chanced to light upon. wrote George Augustus Sala in one of his letters, may be called the feat of poi- soning by sleight of hand. Youw were jealous of a lady, and you wished to kill her. Well, you asked her to lunch, and you caused a very nice peach to be served. at dessert. You cut the fruit with a golden knife, one side of the blade of which was endued with a deadly poison. You presented the pol- soned half of the peach to the lady, who ate it with much relish and then dropped down dead. The wholesome half you ate yourself and laughed in your sleeve and went on slicing more peaches for the ladies of whom you were jealous till you were found out and broken on the wheel. Aye. there’s the rub! What high old times we might have, to be sure, but for that plaguy contingency of being found out! Neck Wedding Bands.
