MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1911, T DORA BARRETTE, Soclety Reporter The weekly dances which have been conducted during the past few months by the Bemidji Dancing Aca- demy, will be continued under the | management of George Stein and F. L. Bursely. At the meeting of the city council tonight it is expected that the final announcement as to the possibility of doing more paving in Bemidji this fall will be made.

Comment on the extraordinary beauty of Lake Bemidji during the present warm and exceedingly bright moonlight nights is frequent. “She; has the south’s ‘sunny. silvery| moon,’ looking like 2 bunch of car- ets,” is the expression of one lake | shore resident. The lake walks and parks were filled last night with per- sons reveling in the glories of Oc- tober in Northern Minnesota. How the grain production of the United States can be made to keep | pace with consumption is one of the big questions to be discussed by the members of the Grain Dealers’ Na- tional Association who assembled in Omaha today for their fifteenth an- nual convention. The attendance in- cludes nearly 1,000 elevator owners, grain brokers, commission men and receivers of grain in nearly every part of the country. Go to Chapman's Shop for horse- shoeing.

Then its use was prohibited by law. It will | burn at certain temperatures if the | quantity is small. When esploded it tostantly expands 10,000 times: the | gases require 10.000 times the space | of the liquid. | At last Nobel learned to soothe and quiet the liguid by causing it to be ab- sorbed in infusorfal earth. It was this preparation that in 1866 was called dy- namite by Nobel. When it explodes | the force plunges first downward and ; then rebounds upward.

If a shaft were sunk vertically to| the center of the earth and an objeet | suspended from a spring balance were | lowered down the shaft the weight of | the object, as indicated by the dial of | the balance, would at first increase as | the descending object approached the deeper and denser strata.

Finally be got to thinking that he was solid enough with her to go out be- tween the acts, and so he did. For several weeks he worked this and met with no rebuff. But she was thinking | a lot, even though she wasn’t saying anything. One evening she said, “Why don't you go to the smoking room to smoke instead of going to the lobby?” “Is—is there a smoking room in- side?" he asked. “Of course. You always say that you are going out to smoke, and it seems so useless to have to take your hat and coat every time. And if you thought of it beforehand you could buy those cigarettes that you | seem to like—the ones that smell like cloves, you know—before you come.” He is wondering if sbe 1s as wise as it seems or as innocent as it appears.—- Boston Traveler. A Strange Species of Deer. Just above the buffet in the dining room of a Richmond house there hangs a huge, finely mounted antlered head. This trophy of the owner’s hunting prowess is fastened so firmly to the wall that the glistening neck seems to be coming right out through the plaster. When a little boy from the city saw this decoration for the first time he eyed it with considerable curlosity and very evident uneasiness. it looked almost too lifelike for com- fort. Finally the youngster asked to | be escused and slipped from his chair, going into the next room. He return- ed to the dining room flushed with embarrassment. “What's the matter, Harry?” asked his host. “l wanted to see,” explained the child sheepishly, “if that animal’s legs were really as long as that or if he were standing on something in the next room.”—Lippincott’s. A Clear Case. The beautiful young prisoner entered the box in her own behalf. “What 18 your age, miss?” asked the lawyer. “Forty-eight,” was the steady reply. The feminine jury caugbt its breath with an audible little gasp®and sat there rigid. “How much did you pay for the hat you are wearing? 3 “Nipety-eight cents.” “Are you guilty of the crime that is charged against you?” “No Thus did the wily prisoner attempt to establish her veracity and then con- vince the jury that she was innocent.

They secure 100 large sheets of paper, each about four feet six inches square. ruled in quarter inch squares. In each alternate square a round black wafer or circle is placed, a little overlapping the square, thus leaving an equal amount of white space be- tween the black spots. At each tenth spot a double width is left so as to separate each hundred spots, ten by ten. Each sheet then -holds 10,000 spots, each horizontal or vertical row containing 1,000. One hundred such sheets contain, of course, a million spots, and they would occupy a space 450 feet long In one row or ninety feet long in five rows, so that they room about thirty feet square and| twenty-five feet high from floor to | ceiling, allowing space for doors, but not for windows.

The Longest Fast. The record for fasting, so far as our best information goes, is held by Graine, a French murderer, who de- termined to starve himself to death and from day to day after his arrest refused to eat. In spite of every effort on the part of his keepers, who first tried to tempt him to eat by placing the most dainty meals in his cell and when that failed attempted feeding him by force, he held out for sixty- three days, at the end of which period hedied. With the exception of Graine’s case the longest well authenticated in- stance of fasting on record is that ac- complished by Glovanni Succi, who lived at the Royal Aquarium, London, for forty-five days without food. —New PLAYFUL CHILDREN Kiskapoo Worm Killer makes playful children.
