— Men To Eat and Talk o M the Markham Hotol Monday Evening at 8 0'clock JUDGE STANTON will speak and M. J. BROWN will say something if he’s in town, then besides the Toast Master has some “Chessnuts’’ roasting and will hand them out oneat a time. Oh, yes—Tcm E1vin is going to act as toast master and Tom is generally serious, but he's going to smile for us Monday night. ~Thisin itself will be a treat for all of us, even Tom. Tom may not like this dope, but we're all at his mercy when the. time comes, so we had better crow while we have a chance. If He Only Knew the bunch that was present, when this dope was hatched up, wouldn't he get. busy though? But, he don't. That's not saying that he’ll not get busy. Now a Word X about the meeting and eating, The meeting is the second one called. The eating isthe second one too. This meeting should interest every wide-a-wake busi- ness maxn, (so-should the eating) because it is of vital importance to future Bemidji. The majority of men who.attend this banquet represent younger Bemidii. They are men who are as yet not members of the com-- merical Club. They want to join the-club in a. bedy, about 25 strong. They want to join and at the. same- time bring something with them. i : This Something 1s a gymnasium fecture in addition to the present social features of the club. There's a fine room on the same floor of the club rooms and it is their desire to- annex this to the present quarters. We might add right here that this is not the only -surprise to be sprung, but there are a hundred and one other iecéss- ary stunts to pull off. Invitations Have been sent out accompanied by Paid Postals. All you have to do is to scrotch a line through the words will not or will, sign your name and send it in. Who would not do this, Well to tell the truth about two thirds of them have not been heard- from, surely the committee is entitled to the courtesy of your des- cision. Now you fellows who have over looked this, kindly give it your immediate attention, now, - right this minute, while you think of it. To those who did not receive invitations we wish ‘to say that the work of making out a hurried list and sending them was left to one man, and that no intention to slight the young men was willful but is accounted:: . for-only through the words *‘Inattention or caveless-: ness” or better still, “Crowding too much upon one man.” P T : - This Means you Mr..Man—who ever you are—if you're interested in . . the future well fare of Bemidji, please accept this invi- tation. ' If you have the city’s future at heart, be there to show it. You should need no special invitation to come. The above is sufficient. All you do is notify the Banquet Committee that you'll be there. Do this by telephone. Ring number 69 or drop a line . to the Comimittee. BANQUET COMMITTEE. rich man, % shabby old trink in my owil -room. There isn't even a lock on it. I had to force it oft one time when 1'd mis-/ 1aid the key." “Hvidéntly you don't encourage en- terprise in burglars,” observed one of her hearers. “All'a man would have -to_do would be to raise the lid. You might at ieast make him a little _trouble. 2 .“He'd have trouble enough,” said the ‘woman, mysteriously. “Our coach- man’s brother iz an old sailor—a per- fect artist in knots—and he showed me how to bind up the trunk in the most complicated way, and no burglar could possibly untie it. He wouldn't know the combination.’ The only man in the group grinned. | “Of course,” he murmured reflec- tively, “no mere second story ‘man would ever dream of cutting those knots.”—Youth’s Companion. Saved. A lazy negro who let his wife take in ‘washing without demur had a dream one night and a policy dream at that. He borrowed money from her to play the combination, and before he left home he stated his conviction. “Mandy,” be said, “Ah’s goin’ up- town to play dis combime, what am #ho’ to come out. When you see me comin’ home in a hack you break up |- yo' wash tubs.” The “combine” didn’t come out, and Sam, in great dejection, acquired a lot of gin. Then he was messed up a bit by a dray, and some other negroes hired a hack to take him home. Sam was nearly out and was breathing heavily when the hack turned a famil- far corner, and his wife was standing in the door. With his last ounce of energy he stuck his head out of the window and yelled: “Mandy, spare dem tubs!"—Chicago Post, x Looming Mirages. In what are called “looming mi- rages” distant objects show an appar- ent extravagant increase in height without alteration of breadth. Distant pinnacles of ice are thus magnified into Immense towers or tall, jagged mountains, and a ship. thus reflected from far out at sea may appear to be twelve or fifteen times as tall as it is long. 'Rocks and trees are also shown in abnormal shapes and positions, ‘while houses, animal and human be- ings appear In like exaggerated shapes. Before the sandy plains of our south- western states and territories were converted into verdant fields by the ingenuity and tireless energy of man mirages were very common in those regions, the Indians regarding the phe- nomenon as being the work of evil spirits. The Horse's Pedometers. The whorls of hair on the coats of ‘horses and other animals are natural | pedometers, inasmuch as they register the locomotive activities of the ani- inals on whose bodies they are found. The best: examiples and the greatest pumber of these hairy whorls and crests are found on the domestic horse. A notable instance is the grace- ful feathering that extends along’ the hollow of the flank, dividing the trunk of the animal from the hind quarters, There are also crests and whorls ‘on the horse’s chest and other parts of its body. A study of the action of the un- derlying muscles explains the origin of these pecullarities in the lay of the ‘hair and furnishes the justification for calling them pedometers, although the analogy is, of course, merely Buperfi- clal—St. Louis Republie. - Pittsburgh In 1784, ‘When General Forbes captired Fort Duquesne in 1758 he renamed it Pitts- burgh in honor of the great English inspirer of victory. Later it dropped the “h” and became Pittsburg, only Minally to tack the “h” on officially .and revert ‘to the original spelling. {In 1784 Arthur Lee described the place An’ language which seems strange to those who know “the Smoky City” of today: “Pittsburgh is inhabited almost entirely by Scots and Irish, who live in paltry log houses. There are in the fown four attorneys, two doctors and mot a priest of any persuasion, nor ~ j| church or chapel, so that they are Hkely to be damned without the bene- fit of clergy. The place, I belleve, will never be very. considerable.” Cheaping. In parts of Switzeriand the baker’s ‘wife carries round the bread in a sort of hamper, and she has not a fixed, im- mutable charge, but chaffers for a price ‘with the customers. The old English word for this process was “cheaping,” which in many places in England has been_corrupted. into chipping. Chip- ping Norton, for instance, i3 really Cheaping Norton, or the place where goods were cheapened—that is, sold by chaffer. . " Wise Exosptions. 3 “You really believe that & man should always be truthful to his wife?” “Certainly 1 do, always.” “And do you always tell your wife the truth about her cooking?” '“Oh, well—er—there are exceptions, you know.”—Houston Post. A Fluent Talker. ‘Whangs—Is your wife a good conyer- nalist? Bangs—She would be but for one thing—she talks so fluently that she interrupts herself. i Cruel *“Doesn’t 1t annoy you to hear s wo- man talking slang?” - OASH WITH OOPY Y4 oent per word por lssue 15 cents, The Ploneer goes everywhere so tha ad gets to them all.

MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISERS--The great etate of North Dakota offers unlimited op- portunities for business to classi- fied advertisers. The recognized Catching Speed. Two wild eyed horses, wearing dilap- M ated harness and drawing a battered delivery wagon, stopped at the stable door. “Just had a runaway! panted the driver. “Then, for heaven's sake, don’t put those horses in with the other horses that will soon go out on a irip.” said the head hostler. “If you do they'll run away too. They always do. Be- fore I learned as much about borses as. § know now I brought on a dozen jnaways by doing that fool trick The horses that bave just been on a spree are still worked up to fever pitch, the rest of the horzes catch the spirit of the devil from them, and as soon as they get out they take a header.”—New York Times. The Gilded Man.
