HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. The Chicago warm breeze has at last reached Bemidji. Get out your straw hats and put the old one in the ring, while there is still time. Dr. Brown, Chancellor of New York University, addressing the graduating class of a prominent School for Girls a few days ago, ex- pressed himself strongly in favor of woman suffrage, saying it was a nec- essity because of impending social revolutions. The fire alarm was sent in to put out a blaze in a small shed across froma the fire station Wednesday ev- ening. A pail of water would have accomplished the same results, with- but incurring the expense of a gener- al call. Citizens can do much by us- ing a little judgment in keeping tax- es down to the minimum on occasions ‘of this kind if he stepped over to the fire department and informed the chief or driver of the conditions. Rev. Father McMahon, pastor of the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, New York, on May 31 preached a powerful sermon in his church in favor of woman suffrage and equal pay. In the course of his remarks Father McMahon said: “The Church has always stood for the bet- terment of women. As early as the fourteenth century women voted on equal terms with men, and there is nothing unwomanly or immodest in it now. Anyone reading opposition to the franchise for women in the doctrines of the Church is not well informed in regard to them.” ‘Whatever the outcome may be Col- onel Roosevelt’s great reputation as a politician is bound to suffer through the mistake of having too many con- testing delegations, and even at the last stand coupling some claims of very doubtful validity with enough of evident validity, if the probable in- valid ones had been left out, to con- trol the convention. In other words, his interests suffered by coupling with valid claims, which would have been sufficient to control the conven- tion, claims of doubtful validity that were not needed. Ontop of the vote of 510 yesterday he only needs thirty more votes. Texas and Washington, where his claims are undoubtedly valid, would give him ten to spare, Another mistake is in allowing Heney to blackguard everybody, and in letting Flinn play the part of a bulldozer. People don’t like it. Many Dpeople who are favorable to Roose- velt have been disgusted with the performances of these two men. They are as much of a handicap to him as High Tariff Payne and Lorimer Brad- ley are to Mr. Taft.—St. Paul Dis- patch. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

THIS IS MY 64th BIRTHDAY. Andrew S. Draper. Dr. Andrew S. Draper, who for many years has occupied a foremost place in American educational cir- cles, was born at Westford, N. Y., June 21, 1848. He received an aca- demic education and afterward took a course of law at Union College. For nine years after being admitted to the bar he practiced law in Albany. The next three years were spent in Washington, where he served as a member of a committee appointed by President Arthur to investigate the Alabama claims. * When this work was completed he returned to the practice of his profession in Albany. In 1886 he was elected state super- intendent of public instruction of New York. He continued in this position for eight years and during the next two years he was superin- tendent of public schools in Cleve- land. In 1894 Dr. Draper was elect- ed president of the University of Illi- nois. He remained at the head of the university ten years, when he re- signed to accept his present position as commissioner of education of the State of New York. Congratulations to: .

As the great difficulty which most people meet with in regard to bank notes is that of being able to keep them, it will probably come as a sur- prise to many to learn there are yet others for whom the difficulty is how to get rid of them. The difficulties en- tailed in destroying such paper are well illustrated in a very interesting article upon paper destruction by the German imperial printers, the Kansas City Journal says. The methods previously available were three—burning, boiling and pulp- ing. In the first process it has been found that even where a special fur- nace has been used it has not infre- quently happened that while the outer parts of packets were destroyed some of the contents were not even singed. In the case of stamped or gummed pa- per the matter was still worse, for the packets baked together into solid blocks, the interiors of which were quite intact. In the second process the paper for destruction is placed in iron boilers; lye is added and the contents then sub- jected to the prolonged action of steam. As a destructive process for small quantities this is quite effectual, as is also that of pulping, a process in which the paper is cut up by revolv- ing knives in water. ever, another difficulty—that of dispos- ing of the product. It cannot -easily be sold, it will not pay to transport and’ on hand the sodden; stodgy mass quickly goes bad. fore decided to try a new way—grind- ing it up dry. To this end they in- stalled a forty horse power mill, which by a process of hurling, crushing and tearing reduces the paper to an almost powderlike form, in which it passes through a sieve into a collecting cham- ber beneath the mill ready for pack- ing. This, however, was accompanied by a very objectionable feature, especially when dealing with gymmed paper in that though the workmen engaged wore protectors, it yet persistently filled and blocked their eyes and nos- trils. As the work of packing was on this account not only unhealthy, unwilling. ly performed and also uneconomical, elforts were made to find some me chanical means of doing it. Difficalty after difficulty arose. Among such may be mentioned that & spiral feeder having been devised it was found that the paper would some- times form into balls solid as blocks of wood, which defied the efforts to move them by the 20 horse power mo- tor. The imperial printers, therefore, are now to be congratulated upon possess- ingamnchln’eperfectlnltskind.lg takes the paper, grinds it up to any size and bags it. Finally, though, the paper in this form fetches but little on account of its consequent shortness of fiber, the mill is yet not only paying off the in- itial outlay, but is also saving some $260 a year in workmen’s wages. 81 Wouldn't Have It.

It is one of the pet beliefs of the fishing fleet folk that when a white bird filles aboard a ship at sea good luck 18 bound to follow. And if & white bird happens to fly aboard a brand new craft it insures the vessel with all kinds of joy forever. Out on Georges, two weeks ago today, a little pigeon fluttered down on the deck of the good ship Mary, perching on the wheel box. Result—good luck. Al- though Capt. Whallen's boat struck mighty hard weather, it came through without a scratch and landed 130,000 pounds of mixed ground fish, mostly hake and cusk, which is pretty near- ly the record catch for a maiden trip. The pigeon looked as though it had had some pretty hard luck itself before It fell in with the Mary, however. One of its wings was badly torn, as though a gull or a hawk had taken a piece out of it. The men aboard took good care of the pigeon, giving it plenty of food, although they made no attempt to con- fine it to any one part of the vessel. The bird made friends with every one, especially the cook, and refused to eat except out of the men’s hands. As the Mary_came np the morn- 10g;~the BITd Wag adeck. Abreast of Governor's Island he suddenly took wing and flew away. The men said it looked to them as though the bird had recognized his surroundings in the in- ner harbor and had flown for home.— Boston Globe. TENDERNESS TO THE AGED Those In Their Helpless Years Should Be Treated With Kind and Gentle Regard. Nothing is more beautiful or Christ- like in the character of the young woman than a kind and gentle regard for the old. They whose failing steps are slowly descending the sunless slope of age have but one consolation as the years speed by them, and that is the tenderness and consideration .of those on whose lives the beauties of the morning are breaking. Age is a season of physical infirmity, of men- tal retrospection, of shattered dreams and earthly disappointments. No more for the old is there a glimmer in the rolling stars, no more freshness in the spring, no more a triumph in the years. The thousand melodies of the present sound far oft to thelr aged ears and its charms are blurred in the ears and_eyes whose tears fall on the graves of Old affections. Treat them gently, for their travail and their sac- rifice are yet the possessors not only of existence in the world in whose splendors ye exult, but also for the prosperity and happiness we thought- lessly enjoy. Never mind if she or he be old and feeble and of humble garb —they look to you in their helpless years to aid with gentle courtesy their tottering steps. God's blessing will re- ward you if you do.—Catholic Uni- verse Pedigree of the Horse. Geologists have finally completed a distinguished genealogy for the horse. Here is the list, with the geological eras in which each lived, as arranged by Prof. W. N. Rice: The line of descent begins with Hyracotherium and Eophippus of the lower Eocene age. Then follow Pro- torohippus and Orohippus of the mid- dle Eocene, Epihippus of the upper Eocene, Mesohippus of the Oligocene. Anchitherium of the lower Miocene. Parahippus, Protohippus and Pliohip- pus of the middle and upper Miocene, and finally Equus of the Pliocene and the Quaternary, from which the mod- ern horse directly descends.
