“Brutus” at Majestic Friday. The Majestic Theatre management recelved word this morning from his exchange in Minneapolis to the ef- fect that the big Ient_\n‘«\a film entitl- ed “Brutus” would arrive in Bemidji for Friday, Saturday and Sunday performances. This sumptuous picture is consid- cred one of the grandest one reel sub- jects ever produced. 1t is taken from a reproduction' of Shakespeare’s great play and will be watched with interest by the city’s theatre goers. | Look out for the big minstrels. | GOT HIS NOTES MIXED UP Absent-Minded Man Has Some Diffk culty at the Book Store and the Grocers’. As the little man walked absent:| mindedly along the sidewalk he sud:| denly stopped in front of a bookstore, It recalled to him the meaning of that piece of string on his finger, and with| a brightened face he entered. “Just a minute,” he said to the | clerk. “My wife wanted me to get; a book for her—a certain novel she's | heard a good deal about. I must find| the memorandum she gave me. She| wrote the name on a slip of paper, and I put it in my pocket.” After considerable fumbling he pro- duced a small bit of paper, and laying It on the counter, took out his spec- tacles and adjusted them on his nose. “Here’s the name—Cobb's Corna- tine. Yes, that’s it.” “I—I'm afraid I don’t know the book, sir,” sald the clerk apologetical ly, “but I'll look through the list of aew ones.” And he ran his eye over the list on the wall. “No, I'm sorry to say I can't find it here. You are sure of the name?” “Yes, it’s right here on this plece of paper.” “Well, I'm afraid we haven't got it then.” “But—but I don’t dare to go home to my wife without it. I promised to get it for ler.” The clerk called to another In the back of the store, who came forward. To the other he said: “Say, Bill, do you know of a book called Cornatine, by a fellow named Cobb?” “What's that?” he asked in sur prise. The old gentleman broke in: “Cobb’s Cornatine. Here, mee for yourself.” “I'm afraid you've made a mistake” | 6aid the new arrival with a twinkle. “Cobb’s Cornatine is a new breakfast food.” “Ah, now I sec why the grocer didn’t understand me when I asked him for a package of Queed,” remark- ed the awete—1r in manifest relief. -G ng in Puck, oL EE IS ON coOS It Feet in Circumference ore Than 2,000 ars Old. 1 ees In the world are the calypti, which attain an ~=v v+ 280 feet. The biggest are the mammoth trees of California, some of which are 276 to 373 fect in | height, and 108 feet in circumference | at the base. From measurements of the rings it is believed that certain of these trees are from 2,000 to 2,500 years old. The oldest tree in the world is sald to exist on the Island of Cos off the coast of Asfa Minor. It is several thousand years old, but just how many no one has dared to say. The tree is carefully preserved by a wall of masonry around it, and the trunk s thirty feet in circumferemce. But there are parts of trees tm the form of usetul timber which are even older, probably, than any on the stump. Beams in old buildings are preserved today, which are known to be over a thousand years old. Piles driven by the Romans prior to the Christian era are perfectly sound to- day, and it is known that they have been immersed in water for upward of two thousand years. Some woods have remarkably dur- able properties when immersed in wa- ter. They decay rapidly on the stump, many rotting in from flve to ten years, but when immersed in water they last longer than iron or steel. An effort has been made by our gov- ernment to preserve woods indefinite- ly by treating them with oils and tar products. Already telegraph poles and rallway tles have had their average life extended from five to ten years by this process.—Harper’s.

L0 STARS OF LAST YEAR Many Youngsters Came to Front During Last Season. $22,500 Beauty, Marty O'Tocle, Did Not Join Pilttsburg Team Until Late—Joe Jackson Best Flelder Unearthed. Perhaps in no season in recent years were as many crack youngsters discovered or developed as during the campaign of 1911. The new stars discovered in the pitcher's box were Rube Marquard of the Glants, Graver Cleveland Alexander and George Chalmers of the Phillies, Vean Gregg of the Highlanders, Marty O'Toole of the Pirates, and Buck O’Brien of the Boston Red Sox. Other promising | young boxmen of 1911 who may get| into the star class in another season or two were Bill Steele of the Cardi- nals, Dave Danforth of the Athletics, Gene Krapp of the Cleveland Naps, Bobbie Keefe and Rube Benton of the Cincinnati Reds and, George Tyler of the Boston Nationals. ‘With the exception of Rube Mar- quard all these men were 1911 discov- eries. The tall, lanky portsider of the Giants has been in the big show since 1908, but last season was the first in which he earned his rations. Rube had to travel about the country in 1909 and 1910 with the reputation of being the biggest lemon ever plucked from the bushes, but Mar quard showed his critics last season, when he was one of the biggest fac tors in the Giants’ great fight for the pennant, and also twirled himself to the leadership in the official pitching Marty O'Toole. records. Marquard finished the sea: son with 24 victories and seven de feats. As Rube has been in the blz show since 1908, the question of what was the biggest pitching find of 1911 rests between Grover Alexander of the Phil lies and Vean Gregg of the Naps. These two men pitched phenomenal ball, though Gregg’s arm went lame near the end of the season, prevent: ing his appearance in the box after early September. Gregg's record was almost identical with the one made by Marquard. Gregg won 23 games and lost 7. This was a remarkable feat, considering that it was achieved with a team that finished the season with an average of .523. Gregg finished second among the American league hurlers. Alexander won five more games than Gregg, but suffered six more defeats than the Cleveland phenom. Alexander finished fourth in the official National league pitching records, with 28 victories and 13 defeats. Alexander’s team fin- ished the season with almost the same record as that made by the Naps, the Phillies’ final average being .520. “Slim” Caldwell of the Hilltoppers Is another youngster who showed his metal in 1911. Though he joined the Kilties in 1910, Caldwell was practl- cally untried until last season. He managed to break even in 28 games, but many of his defeats were hard- luck affairs in which a run or two would have changed the tide of battle in his favor. Marty O'Toole and Buck O'Brien are youngsters who did not join their teams until late in the sedson. The §$22,500 wonder of the Pirates won three games and lost two. O’Brien, of the Red Sox, looked every bit as good as his more expensive brother. Buck won four games out of five starts and enjoys the distinction of being one of the four men to shut out the Athletics iast season. Though the majority of the 1911 finds were pitchers, many other bril- liant youngsters won their spups in other positions. Joe Jackson undoubt- edly was the biggest find of the year. Though Joe had been in the American league in 1908, when Connie Mack first grabbed him from Greenville, 8. C., he was really a 1911 development. It is true Joe batted for .387 for 20 games In 1910 and beat out Ty. Cobb for the nominal leadership in batting, but last season was his first complete cam: paign in the majors.

BESCHER MAKES GREAT PLAY Mike Mitchell Tells of Wonderful Catch by Cincinnatl Outfielder In Cleveland Game. At a fanning bee in baseball head- quarters at Cincinnati recently Out~ fielder Mike Mitchell said Bob Bescher made the greatest play he has ever seen. It happened in Cleveland on Oct. 14 of last season. At the end of the tenth inning the score stood 5 to 6. In the Reds’ half of the eleventh they got two runs, Starting the batting for Cleveland Center Fielder Birmingham doubled Bob Bescher. to right. Second Baseman Ball hit one between Bescher and Bates. It look: ed to be good for at least two bases. Bescher came steaming in, made a flying stab at the pellet and captured 1t just at his shoe tops. He was trav« eling at such terrific speed that he fell down as he caught the sphere. ." In the meantime Birmingham was at third ready to make the dash for the plate. Bescher rolled over. twice, lay a fraction of a second until *he could regain his wind, then got up and completed the double play. by (Copyright, 1911, by W. G.

So many managers wanted Stovall that President Somers of the Cleveland club is realizing more and more how really valuable “Friend George” is.

TIME” IS DEFINED Remark of Governor of North Caro- lina to Governor of South Caro- lina Brought Into Court. The oft-quoted remark of the Gov- ernor of North Carolina to the Gov- ernor of South Carolina has at last been brought into -court, ~carefully construed, and found not to be. so long as some other times. It is prob- able that it was the exceeding droughtiness of the interval which made it seem long. In a prosecution for the illegal sale of whisky in Ala- bama, a witness testified that he had bought a piht of liquor of the aec- cused “a short time” before the grand Jury returned the indictment against him. It was objected that this evi- dence did not show that the prose- cution had been begun within 12 months after the sale of the whisky, the time limited by statute for begin- ning a prosecution. In discussing this objection, the Supreme court, in Wilson versus State, 56 Southern Reporter, 114, after holding that “a short time” might be taken in the con- nection in which it was used to re- fer to a perfod less than 12 months, sald, by way of {illustration: The expression ‘e long time’ would refer £o a very different period of duration and have a widely different meaning in measuring time when used by an archaeologist having reference to the period of existence of the Egyptian pyramids, than when used by Caro- lina Governors with reference to the time between drinks.” The court may be right, but probably the Gov- ernor of North Carolina measured time as recommended by the poet ‘who said: “We live * * * in feelings, not in figures on the dial.*—Colliers’. .
