ARE TURKS BEATEN? Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 26.—The Ag- ence Bulgaria, the government’s of- cial news agency, announced early today (Far Eastern Time) that Kirk Kilissa was now in the hands of the victorious Bulgarian army. No details of the casualties are as yet known, but they are enormous. Belgrade, Servia, Oct. 26.—The hospitals are filled with wounded soldiers and private residences are being pressed into service.

Stoner, stated this morning that on one of the mines west of Ironton on the Cuyuna range the engineers are stripping a fifty foot over burden by washing it into a lake with a hose which carries 2,000 gallons per minute.

Rarly Pneumatic Tires. It has been discovered recently that ps early as 1847 efforts were made to oonstruct a pneumatic tire. At that time a patent was granted by the patent office of the United States ta an Hnglishman, whose invention cov, ered several forms of tire, one of ‘which was maintained in a distended position by means of air under press- ure. Other forms, kept distended by means of springs, were also contem: plated and described by him at that time. In relating the advantages of his invention he called particular at. tention to the fact that a vehicle thus -qulnpod wu propelled with greatly decreased power.’ Thought His Duty Ended. The Duc de Raguse once explained | to the Countess de Boigne the nature of his connection with the emperor as follows: “When the emperor said, ‘All for France,’ I gerved with enthusi- psm; when he sald, ‘France and I’ I perved with obedience; but when he said, ‘I’ without France, I felt the ne- cessity of separating from him.” The $4.00 Dictionary Gnupun New Websterian 1912 PRESENTED BY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER ONE GDUPUN SECURES THE DICTIONARY ! REEDED THAT OTHER ROOT Patlents of Dent WIIl Appreciate 8tory of “Nerve” That Comes From Kansas City. - In Kansas City there dwells a man whose boast 1is that he has “the nerve,” and at least one dental sur geon will support him in his claim. The man with “the nerve” suffered from the pangs of an aching molar and at last sought out his friend the dentist and annourf:d that the tooth must come out. The man with the {orcep- made a hasty examination and juggested that a filling would relieve ‘the agony, but to no avall, ; “That tooth must be pulled,” said the “nerve man,” “but T want to warn you right now, Doc, that you won't lget it the first yank. I have had seven ‘teeth drawn and no dentist lives who pu:l 'pull one of my teeth the first The dentist prides himself with the mumerous compliments paid him for dexterity in extraction and “the erve” man's words were a challenge. “I'll get that tooth the very first time I pull it.” ! “Bet you the drinks you don't,” fthe patlent’s retort. “Done,” said the doctor. The professional man motfoned his Eyatmn to the operating chair and selected the proper forceps. The cold steel clamped firmly on the tooth, and with a slightly rocking motion the dentist began to pull. The tooth held firm and it looked as if the dentist’s reputation as an extractor must suf. fer. At last, just as little beads of sweat were forming on the operator’s brow, he smiled and in another sec ond the three-pronged cause of the trouble lay on the swinging bracket by the dental chair. No word or sign had been given by the sufferer, who then ralsed from the chalir, grasped the removed tooth in his fingers and gazed at its three roots in contemplation. There was a tone of real sadness in his voice as he regretfully said: “If that thing had only had another root, I'd have won the drinks.”—Kan sas City Journal. WAS TAKING NO CHANCES Casey Unwilling to Take the Worg of His Rival When It Would End Hostilitles. It had come to blows at last. Aftey many threats and sundry flst—ahlklngq not to mention odd brick-ends which were thrown, Casey and Riley deten mined to-*“have it out,” so they ad Journed to. a neighboring field, fol lowed by an euthnulutlc, admiring crowd. Before they commenced théir dis play it was agreed mutually that who ever wanted ‘to quit should say “Enough,”. and with that they started, After a few minutes Casey gof Riley down, and “was hammering hith* un merclhlly, when Riley lhrlelod ouf several times, “Enough!” As Casey paid no attention, but kep| on administering punishment, a by stander said, “Why don’t you let him get up? Don't you hear him say that : he's got enough?” “I do,” said Casey, “but he’s such g liar you can't belleve him.”—Londox Tit-Bits. Courage Makes Success. Many & man has dried up in a little wayside opportunity, merely because he lacked the courage to acknowledge to himself that his judgment had land- ed him in the wrong spot. Fortune disdains mere ability—brain 18 noth- ing without bravery. The man who can be thrashed by a sneer has re- treated before he is defeated.—Her- bert Kaufman. Humane French Burglars. Humane burglars broke into the phooting box of M. Lindet, president pf the Paris Law soclety, at Fosse Mousson and after ransacking the place carefully destroyed traps and Fnares for animals which they found there. On a wall where the traps had been hanging they scrawled the words: “Be kind to animals on else we will return.” CAR OF BULK APPLES Cood No. |, Ben Davis Will be on the M. & L track Tuesday or Wed- nesday morning.

McCuaig THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEEK WONDERFUL WORK “OF DOG ¥ Theee Are Not Inventions of Drum- mers, They Surely Are Remark- able Animals. ‘The grocery drummer from Chicago bad just made some remarks about household pets, which awakened a memory in the mind of the agent from the New York Bond house, out selling securities: “Speaking of that,” said he, flicking the ashes off the end of his cigar, “I'm very fond of dogs. I have a pointer at home that’s & wonder. Taking him al- Tether he is the most intelligent mal I ever saw. You gentlemen imay not belleve it, but it is neverthe- less & fact that whenever I go out rid- Ing in my motor through a hitherto untraveled country I always take Roger along with me, and he sits up alongside of me in front, Whenever we come to a crossroad, and I find my- belt up a tree as to which turning to take, I simply put the question to him, and in every blessed case he has in. stinctively pointed in the right direo- tion.” "I can, well belleve that,” sald the grocery drummer. “I have a retriever in my house that is quite as wonder- ful. I don't belteve my wife and 1 could possibly get along without him. If my wife mislays anything, from a rolling pin to a bridge score, any- where around the house, all she has to do is to set Bob after it, and he finds it. When I am in a hurry to catch a train in the morning and my collar button slips out of my hands pnd disappears, as collar buttons are plmost certain to do at such moments, good old Bob gives a yelp of delight and goes after it, saving me no end o! trouble, much time, and some lan- ‘uage."—LIpplncott’l Magazine. LIBEL ON ARIZONA WEATHER Tale Impressed Englishman, Wha Probably Went Home and Wrote & Book About It. “Het weather reminds me,” sald the fellow who fs aiways ready to tell a story when he gets an opening. “1 was riding down through Arizona last summer on & trxin on which there was a party of Englishmen. You never know what hot weather is until Yyou ride through seme of those south- western states In' the summer. The heat rolls up:in' waves and smites you, Everything except. the rattlesnakes and the Indians- stay out of the sun's rays as much as: possible. ) “On a station' platform stood a dilapidated sprinkling can. It was full of dents and: ttie: spout was lying near the can, both' evidently not hav- ing been used for' mumths. “*You know I have:Been telling you we have some hot weather out here,’ sald a westerner to'one of the Eng- lishmen. *Well, look ati that sprinkling can. It has been: so kot that it has melted-the spout .right! off! . "And the farther west you:. get! the hotter it gets,’ the native son' finished as he noticed the awed look em the foreign- er’s face.” Fact.
