When writing be sure and mention the Bemidji Daily Pioneer. is Kilmer's secure when | Ball Clappers of Oplum. The infinite patience of the Chinese fs well illustrated in a smuggling story which I heard from an imperial mari- time customs official at one of the “bar- riers” on the upper Yangtze. The incl- dent occurred several years ago in an attempt to avoid duty on a small amount of Szechuan opium that was headed for Shanghai. “An important article of down river trade,” said the official in question, “iIs | the little belled and spangled cap worn by the. Chinese children from two to| six years of age. In passing a nuaber | of boxes of these in the spring of 1906 I chanced to notice that the tinkle from the little bell in the center of the cap I was examining was rather muf- !fled. Torcing it oven purely out of curiosity, I was asctonished to find a tiny pellet of opium hardly a quarter | of an inch in diameter which bhad been, substituted for the clapper.” Of course we had to search the whole lot, and our aggregate haul from about 5000 caps—a couple of days’ work for us— was less than ten pounds of opium.”— ‘Wide World Magazine. Glcaning In England. There is a popular but guite errone- ous belief that a common law right of gleaming exists in England. A legal obiter dictum that a man who enters a field for the purpose of gleaning can-| not be prosecuted for trespass received the dubious - support of “Blackstone.’ But a majority of judges decided in a case which came before the old court of common pleas that to grant a gen- eral right to gleam would be contrary to public policy, because it would “de moralize the poor” and “open a wide door to fraud.” In many parts of Eng- land the privilege is confined to the wives and children of the harvesters. Yet the privilege of gleaming became so firmly established in England that the local custom has been recognized by many acts of parliament. In some country districts the “gleaning bell” is still regularly rung from the tower of the parish church during harvest tide twice a day to let the gleaners know when they may commence and when they must finish. — Westminster Ga- zette. Persia’s Great Superstition. The greatest superstition in Persia is what is known as the “evil eye.” You must not say to some one whom you meet, “How well you are looking!” for if you do and that person is taken ill it will be because you gave him the evil eye. You must not say te a uother, “What a pretty baby!” “Whaat a bright child!” for if you do and any- thing unfortunate happens to the child you will be considered responsible. Many mothers let their children go dirty and poorly clothed in order that they may not attract favorable atten- tion. The sign which is thought to have somé power to avert the evil eye consists in holding the second and third fingers of both hands close to the palms with the thumbs, while the other fingers are extended straight out. Then - with the hands behind you you make a downward movement three times.—Los Angeles Times. What Is Fun? “I don’t see what fun it can be for you to go on these fishing expeditions | with your husband,” said her best friend. *That’s because you don’t know any- thing about fishing,” she replied. “Do.you?” “Indeed I do. I can sit in the stern of the boat and give advice to the best of them. And when a big fish gets away nobody can beat me telling how it ought to have been or might have been landed.” “I shouldn’t think that would be much fun for you.” “Shouldn’t you? Well, that’s because you don’t know how mad it makes my husband. Kid, you don’t know what fun is.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Spanish Meat Balls. Spanish meat balls are as palatable as they are rare, and made thus: One can of tomatoes, one onion chopped fine, garlic or cayenne to taste. This forms the “Spanish.” One and a half pounds of hamburg steak. Soak half 4 Toa® of stale bread; drain off all wa- ter. Take one egg, pepper and salt to taste, mix together, roll into balls the size of an egg and cook in the “Span- ish” three quarters of an hour.—Na- tional Magazine, _— His Suspicions Aroused. “John, do you love your little wife?” “Yes.” “Do you love me very much?” “Oh, yes.” “Will you always love me?” “Yes. Say, woman, what have you gone and ordered sent home now ?’— Pittsburgh Post. Her Question. ! Molly (holiday making in the coun- try)—I say, Mr. Hoats, do you mind if I ask a question? The Farmer—No, my dear. What is it? Molly—What 1 want to know is when you’ve finished milking that cow how do you turn it off >—London Sketch. Easy Enough. Tommy’s Mamma—Why aren’t you a good boy like Willle Bjones? Tom- my—Huh! It's easy enough for him to be good. He's sick most of the time.—Judge. Another life, if it were not better than this, would be less a promige than a threat.—J. Petit Senn. Try a Want Ad 12 Cent a Word-—-Cash William C.
