It not only is a good thing for the Bemidji automobilists, but it is an attraction for the touring parties of clubs from other places.” ARMY AND NAVYTO CLASH West Point Cadets Conceded Advant- age in Tomorrow’s Contest Ow- ing to More Experience. NAVY HAS WON LAST TWO GAMES Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 29.—The 1912 football season will close tomor- row afternoon with the annual bat- tle between the West Point and An- napolis teams on Franklin Field. From a social standpoint the game| eclipses all others. Washington so-! ciety never fails to attend the game in force, while everybody who can get away from the war and navy and other departments in the national capital are to be found in the stands. gether with a host of army and navy academy will attend the game, to- gether with a host of army and neay | officers from all of the stations with-| in a radius of 500 miles of Phila—’ delphia. The betting today about the ho- tels and other places where the vis- itors congregated shows the Army to be a favorite. The West Point team has played stronger elevens this season and therefore has had more experience than Annapolis. But the; latter team possesses much good ma- terial and the naval contingent stood ready to cover the Army money about} as rapidly as it was offered. The| coaches this afternoon reported their : respective team in fine physical con- dition and confident. Tomorrow’s game will be played as usual under the auspices of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, which \vas' instrumental in bringing the two academies together in 1899 for an- nual football games after a break of six years. Since 1899 all games have been held on Franklin Field except | the contest of 1905, which was play-! ed at Princeton. The first time that the blue and gold of the Navy met the black, gold and gray of the Army on the grid- iron was in 1890, when the Annapo- | lis team defeated the \West Point, eleven by a score to 24 to 0. Since | then fifteen games have been played! between the two academies. Of this: number each institution has seven victories to its credit, the contest in 1905 having resulted in a tie. i A record-breaking crowd of more . than 30,000 spectators is expected to witness the game tomorrow. A total of 30,650 tickets for the game have been equally distributed between the' University of Pennsylvania and the. two academies. The West Point and ! Annapolis share of tickets are not] sold but distributed gratis to officers and others identified with the two arms of the service and to prominent men in Government circles. Penn-! sylvania’s share we sold this year at $3 a ticket, an increase of 50 cents over the highest price heretofore. | The proceeds of the sale are given to the organizations for the relief of the dependent widows and orphans of of-, ficers and enlisted men of the army | and navy. & CONGRESSMEN ARRIVE. Washington, D. C., Nov. 29.— Every train arriving in the capital today brought its full quota of sen- ators and representatives in antici- pation of the opening of the final ses- sion of the Sixty-second congress. Before tomorrow night virtually the entire membership of both houses will be on hand in readiness for the call to order at noon next Monday. Oregon Boys’ Club Conference. Eugene, Ore., Nov. 29.—The Y. M. C. A. of this city is entertaining for| four days the seventh annual Boys’| club conference of Oregon. An at- tendance of about 200 delegates, rep- resenting clubs in numerous cities and towns throughout the state, was registered at the opening of the con- ference today. Several religious and educational workers of wide promin- Only 24 seconds remained of the life of the round. Ritchie, near his own corner, was poised for the dead- ly right cross again when Wolgast’s left took him Billy Leland, Ritchie’s manager, leaped to the edge of the ring, and shouted to Referee Griffin and hundreds of voices raised the cry of “Foul, Foul,” Griffin rushed over and cautioned Wolgast and in another instant the left rip of the champion found the same sore spot. Ritchie tried to fight back, but he was plainly in distress. B Griffin without hesitating, reached low. (between the fighters and pushed Wol- gast aside and raised Ritchie’s hand in token of the victory. Wolgast had the better of seven of the rounds, four were even. The re- ainder were easily Ritchie’s. Wolgast says he did not intentionally foul Ritchie and thinks it is a poor ‘way to win the championship. He didn’t ‘hear Griffin’s caution and does not believe he struck the foul blow. He said after the fight that “Ritchie was rough, and when I first got in trouble in the sixteenth it was from his throwing me against the ropes in- stead of hitting me. T’1l fight him again tomorrow.” Ritchie protested that he was foul- ed, but said that he was strong and could have finished Wolgast in an- other round. The new lightweight king, known to the world as Willie Ritchie, is iplain Gary Steffen to the neighbors in the vicinity of Fifth and Folson streets in San Francisco, where he was raised. He took to driving sand wagon teams for his older brothers when the school studies became . irksome and when 15, he began boxing. He showed quality in the amateur ranks and soon entered into the preliminar- ies. SOLWAY PHONE DIRECTORY OUT Issue a Four-page Directory Includ- ing Advertisments and Names. The Solway Telephone company have issued a new telephone direc»l jtory which contains fifteen names, leaving spaces for additional sub- scribers to the new line. The line will be in operation within a week and much interest is being taken in !it’s progress by farmers and residents of Solway. The officers of the new company are: President, John Thor- een; secretary, Nels J. Saltness, and treasurer, H. P. Dunning. The print- ing was done by the Bemidji Pioneer company. HOSPITAL NOTES. Mrs. W. B. McLachlan was operat- ed on yesterday for appendicitis. She is improving. Mrs. F. Rockway of Nymore was brought to the hospital Wednesday. John Huckleman of Gemmel, is confined at the hospital with pleur- isy. Dan Johnstone of Bena. Minneso- ta, who had both legs broken some time ago is still at the hospital. Tt was found necessary to plate both legs in setting the bones. ROLLER SKATING POPULAR. Many took advantage of the open- ing of the roller rink Wednesday night but many were disappointed as there were not enough skates for all. There are only 150 pairs of skates at present which makes it a big handi- cap for anyone that cannot come early. The hall is very large and the floor is in excellent condition so that with one hundred and fifty people on the floor it is not too crowded. Wed- nesday night Remfrey’s five piece or- chestra furnished music but from now on only the self playing piano will be used. TEACHERS’ MEETING. Evansville, Ind., Nov. 29.—With Dr. P. P.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 29. — The an- nual convention of the Missouri Val- tendance from Kansas, Missouri, Ok- lahoma, Iowa and Nebraska. Balkan Ballads Are Long. In the Balkan countries the ballad makers have certainly been at least as important as the makers of laws. Servia’s national ballads, commemo- rating the glories of the Servian Em- peror Dushan, the fatal battle of Kos- sovo, and the legendary exploits of the: hero Marko Kralyevich and his horse Sharats, are of Homeric proportions, and, sung to the accompaniment of & guitar with cords of horsehair tails, have kept national feeling warm for centuries. In recent years the Servian government published a popular edi- tion. In Macedonia, Sir Charles Eliot heard a schoolboy recite a Bulgarian poem which took an hour apd a quar ter. Ancient Egyptian. The question, “Of what race were the ancient Egyptians?” has never been satisfactorily disposed of, but we may be sure that they were not negroes. They were not black, nor was their hair “kinky”—therefore, they belonged to some other than the Begro race. They certainly were not Caucasians, nor were they of the Mon- golian or yellow breed of man. The builders of the pyramids were prob- ably of Arabic stock or stock in which Arabic predominated. Although, as has been intimated, it is by no means set- tled as yet as to just where the old Egyptians are to be placed in the hu- man scale. Surely Had Forgotten Something. An Eastbourne, Sussex (England) woman recently started on a railway journey with the uneasy feeling that she had forgotten Something. This turned out te be correct, for she had to take the next train back to pick up her child, which she had left on the station platform. Birds Worthy of Gratitude. It has been estimated that the birds in the United States save $200,000,000 worth of crops each year. The tree eparrows in Iowa eat 4,666 pounds of weed seed daily. One full-fledged robin will eat 16 feet of caterpillar daily, or about 4,569 individuals a month, Europe’s War Material. Eurepe withdraws from industry 4, 500,000 men to make soldiers. of them. They are kept from one to three Yyears. What an appalling waste; how doubly preposterous if efficiency can be insured with militia training; —New York World. Best Exercise. The best kind of exercise is the kind that makes you forget you are exercising—in other words, play, says a physician. It’s a good scheme to have some more or less strenuous game for a hobby—golf or bowling o1 tennis or archery—anything that ap peals to you and affords exercise with interest. But this is not saying thai systematic exercise is not a good thing, too. “Murder” Among Animals. Murder is not uncommon among animals, “murder” in this sense being applied to that kind of killing that hag nothing to do with the struggle for existence, but which arises from mal ice, pure and simple, or from dowmn right passion. Storks, it seems, fre: quently kill members of the flock which, at the time of migration, eith er refuse to follow them or are um sble to do sa.

The Jones fmily bore it with a resigned pride until they learned that the eminent Baron Hofsuneigener, recently ar- rived in Harlem from the upper cir- tles cof Berlin, was coming to dine. “We've lived twenty-seven vears in Harlem and this hasn’t happened before,” said Mrs. Jomes. “I feel as though T didn’t know just where to begin.” ““Begin with the Jane, “as usual. speak to the boys. baron to acquire a crass opinion of American youth.” The night of the baron’s dinner tame.

Evidently father had spoken to the boys. As for the baron, he was all plump pinkness and appetite. During the oysters he made one remark. “Gut!” sald he. - During the soup he made one remark: “Gut!” said he. Dur- Ing the fish he made one remark: “Ach, Gut!” During the roast he repeated himself: “Ach, Gut!” But with the salad the eminent baron varied his refrain. “Ach, gut, gut!” 1aid he.

OLD WEDDING DAY CUSTOMS Many Superstitions Have Clustered Around the Marriage Ceremony, Especially in Olden Times. Buperstition never clustered round any episode of life more than that of the wedding day, especially in olden times. Then' it was customary for the bride to present her future husband with a bunch of rosemary, tied up with rib- bons, on his first appearance on the wedding morning. This was supposed to insure his love and loyalty, and to make her happy forever. In Yorkshire the old superstition stfll abounds that nothing more un- lucky could happen than for a newly made bride to leave the church by a different door from that by which she entered. Another quaint custom, for which there is no known origin, is that practiced in some of the midland and northern counties. This is to ring a merry peal of the church- bells at the first reading of the banns of an in- tending matrimonial couple. It is called the “spur peal,” which in old Anglo-Saxon means simply “ask.” Of course it is' well known that it is the height of luck for the bride:to- be to dream of fairies the night before the actual ceremony. So- much was this idea believed in that many girls would peruse fairy tales before going to sleep.—Answers. tive agents, 1o face Thes may be applied with good Mcdera investigations urts 43 chat'chey may be applied perfect control of the temper: ployed by this Institute are the Nauh and other salt baths rhe sinusoidal and galvanic current baths. fomentarions, ice packs. etc. he practitioners at cthe Thomsen Massage and Hydriatic Institute are thoroughly familiar with the science and practice of Hydrotherapy. apartments for fadies Massage and Medical Gymnastics.
