Point of View. “Say, pa, what is the difference be- tween : visit and a visitation?” Fond Father—A visit, my boy, is when you g0 to see your Grandmother Jones, end a visitation is when your Grand- mother Jones comes to see us. [N Who Is She? We are willing to admit that chrys- enthemums were never more beauti- ful than now. Even a head of cabbage would be beautiful if a pretty girl wore’ it for a bouquet.—Philadelphia Telegraph. ENDORSED AT HOME Such Proof as This Should Convince Any Bemidji Citizen. The public endorsement of a lo- cal citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None Dbetter, none stronger can be had. When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow-citizens, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or he would not do so. Telling one’s experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appre- ciated. The following statement given by a resident of Bemidji adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorsement which are being pub- lished about Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read it. P. M. Dicaire, Prop. grocery store, 1101 Irvine Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “The statement I gave about Doan’s Kidney Pills some years ago holds good. The benefit they brought me has been permanent. I took this remedy for the pains in my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble and it proved its merits by making me well.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

EGROTH'S Only 10 shopping days till Santa “delivers the goods” Bring your list to us and let’s begin. Among the things which we are pleased t IPHEASANT TOOK LONG WALK Remarkable Pedestrian Excursion to the Credit of English Bird In America. Some years ago a wealthy resident of our hills stocked his game pre- serve with English pheasants, which have now spread over the country. The pheasant is a walker. You can- mot mistake his tracks, for he puts one foot neatly down directly in front of the other, making a clean impres- slon, as if he had picked it up again very carefully. One morning I found i close to the house the end of a pheas- an’t trail. Something had evidently ‘scared him, and he had risen from the ground, brushing the snow on both sides with the first flap of his wings. Curious to see how far he had walked, I put on my pedometer and followed that trall. It led me through my little swamp, up the hill through a neighbor’s yard, across the road, through a spruce hedge, across | the great lawn of a big summer estate, into the woods behind. I put on my snow shoes in the woods and kept on, { The trail finally ceased in a brush- heap, where the snow was tracked all about, and in one place scratched through the brown Ileaves. pheasant had walked exactly one mile and a quarter—a long walk for a bird! And in all that distance there wasno pign that he had stopped to scratch for food. It was as if he had set out deliberately to walk to my house. I could not flatter myself that such was | the case; doubtless some sense of his | had told him it was useless to scratch; {or perhaps he had fled from the | bushes through which he had walked. | But his trail was without a break.— Walter Prichard Eaton, in Harper's Magazine. Where Follage Comes From. A teacher was explaining to a lits tle girl how ths trees developed their foliage in the springtime. “Ah, yes,” sald the little miss, “I understand; they keep their summey clothes iy their trunks.”—Christian Register. Great Convenience. “You find that an automobile helps you to keep your engagement?” “It does better than that,” replied Mrs. Chuggins. “If you don’t want to keep them, it enables you to explain ev- erything by saying you broke down.* That } WAS HIS TURN TO LAUGH Uncle Aaron Allred Wanted Nothing to Disturb Him During Period .of Enjoyment. “It's a matter of total indifference to me whether Capper beats Hodges, or vice-vercy!” triumphantly ex- claimed Uncle Aaron Allerd. “The Bul. gars may put the Turks to the sword as fast as they can ketch up with ’em, for all I care. Iam not troubled about Stubb’s defeat by What’s-his-name. My nephew, Claud Duval Sisson, wha looks just that way, and has lived on me ever since he graduated from the village academy, three years ago, b'euz I didn’t have the nerve to give him both barrels in a vital spot, and differed with and from me in politics and religion and for the same length of time, and acted syperior to me b'cuz he didn’t have to work and I did, has just married, under the im- pression that he is going to enjoy a good home and a vacation all the rest of his life, alarge and eminently able red-headed widow lady with master- ful methods and six children, dod- blast him! Hilo! Hi-lee! hoo! Lay-he-e-e-e-e!” Cat in Church. A stray cat roamed into the Metho- dist church one morning at the 10:30 service and for a time all service was interrupted while some of the mem- bers of the church tried to catch it. Rev. J. N. Patterson was speaking 1n the pulpit at the time and Choirmaster Henry King left the loft to chase the cat out. Finally other members followed in the pursuit and the cat seemed to play tag with its pursuers, much to the amusement and delight of the entire congregation. Finally Pastor Patter- son suggested that the cat be let alone and the service continue, which was done, and the cat after a while started from the front platform without inter- ruption, walked down the aisle and passed out of the building.—~Thomp- sonville Cor. Hartford Courant. Some Encouragement. “That girl has rejected me three times,” confided the disconsolate youth. “Well,” replied Miss Cayenne, “you should feel encouraged. A girl who will listen to three proposals from the same man must think some- thing of him.” Wolgast rather than saw off a leg, will tackle the welter weights. Joe Wood of the Red Sox is bugs on aeroplanes and talks of buying one. It was announced some time ago that Chick Evans would retire from golf for business. Rube Marquard’s advertising may boost him in vaudeville, but not in advanced baseball. It looks as if Oscar Vitt will take care of the third base corner for the Tigers next season. : Ralph Works, the further Detroit Oh-lay-ce. | pitcher, will draw salary from Garry | Herrmann next season. Joe Jackson, says a report, is the first holdout, but Felix Chouinard may assert he had a scoop on that. Hal Chase, the great first baseman, may never play baseball again. He has started to play basket ball. Packey McFarland said he might retire, but goes right on training for fear something might turn up. Jack Powell and Jjimmy Stephens of the Browns are going to get the can next spring, according to reports. Spanking may prove effective as a punishment for nonthinking football plays, but it wouldn't do in baseball. It has been tried and failed. That Occaslonal Chord. There are chords in the human hesrt, strange, varying things, which e only struck by accident; i1l remain mute and senseless to ap eals the most passionate and earnest, nd respond at last to the slightest asual touch. In the most ‘insensible r childish minds there is some train f reflection which art can seldom ead, or skill assist, but which will re- eal itself, as great truths have done, by chance, and when the discoverer as the plainest and simplest end in lew.—Charles Dickeons. whick |- Latest in Hosiery and Shoes. New ideas in hosiery and in shoes are constantly appearing. Despite the protests of medical men, stockings are still cobwebby. The latest idea appears to be the netted silken hosi- ery, which, when drawn on the foot, have the appearance of a fish scale. To throw the mesh into high relief, an understocking of very fine silk is worn —white if the upper hose be black, black if the net fish scale be in white.
