STATE SENATORS FORM A COMBINE (Continued from first page.) promised, and no one has any author- ity to promise any place, power or patronage. No purpose has been ex- pressed by any senator to give any advantage to any party or faction of any party. There has been and will be no desire to promote or smother | any legislation of any kind. Our pur-| pose, if the plan is carried out, is to] be absolutely fair in the selection of | committees and chairmen, so that ev- ery party and faction will be fairly represented in all committees.” H The two senators, who are admit- tedly bellwethers of the combine movement, and have been active in interviewing senators for several days, admitted that the line-up is very nearly finished. “Naturally, we are not giving out names,” said Sen- | ator Sullivan, “but we are quite will- | ing to say that we have assurances of support from a majority of the sen- | ate. It was a mistake to say that senators have signed up. No paper has been signed, and we have taken only verbal expressions from the| members." Both senators admitted that Dem- | ocrats figure largely in the combine plans. “Without the Democrats who | have joined us,” said Senator Sulli- van, “we should not have a ma- jority."” Both senators were strenuous in their denials that E. E. Smith has| knowledge of what they are doing in ! spite of the fact that they have been frequenting the same hotel for sev- eral days and are close personal | friends. “There is no reflection intended upon Mr. Burnquist,” said Senator Duxbury. “In fact we rather expect Mr. Burnquist to be favorable to our idea. It is peciliarly a fitting time to restore the senate to its rights, be- | cause Mr. Burnquist is on record in favor of the principle, and declared for it in the house caucus two years, ago.” “Patronage has not been taken up,” Senator Sullivan declared. "\Vei don’t want to be bothered with that. | Yes, it might have to be disposed of | later on. That cannot be avoided, but there is no desire to disturb any!. existing arrangement made by the| senators. Patronage is an evil which most of us would like to get rid nf."; “Why not turn it over to the lieu- tenant governor?” was suggested. i “That would just suit me.” retort- ed Mr. Sullivan. “So far as I am con- cerned T would like to turn the whole matter over to him, though I don’t} think he would enjoy it.” BEMIDJI, MINN. | -List of advertised letters “unelaim- ed” for the week ending, Dec. 23, 1912, Men—Baldwin, J.

' College Girls. { First of all the girl who goes to col- lege must remember that the initial {mpression that she inakes determines very largely her happiness or unhappi- xness for the first few weeks. Above all things. she should not arrive in an elaborately trimmed suit. a beolumed | hat and pumps. Such things may be suitable for rare occasions at home, but they find practically no place in the outdoor wardrobe of the well- bred college woman. The plain tail. ored suit cut on good lines, a tailored hat to match and neat shoes create an impression of quiet good taste and ap- propriateness. This keynote of sim- plicity should be recognized through- out her wardrobe. Elaborate chiffon or net waists and fussy neckwear are of little use..for a college girl’s room was never designed for clothes which require careful treatment and pro- tection from dust.—Leslie’s. “My Favorite Love Scene.” ! 1 find it a matter of very great diffi- culty to select one particular love- scene as my favorite, writes Ellen Terry in the Strand. I can at least say, however, that I have felt the deepest affection and admiration for the passage in “Romeo and Jullet” in which Juliet makes apology for her maiden boldness. My reason for selecting this particu- jar passage is that it serves to show to the full the perfect refinement and delicacy of Shakespeare’s coneeption of the female character. In this pas- sage—and, indeed, in all the rest— Juliet's heart, fluttering between joy, hope and fear, seems to regulate her speech in so beautiful a manner that the thought instinctively crosses one's, mind that here, at least, the feelings of youth and of the spring are blended together like the breath of opening flowers. { brought us together?” LITTLE KNOWN OF NEGRITOS Bclentist, However, Beileves They Are the Original Natives of the | Philippines. Dr. Philip Newton, lecturer and in- vestigator of the National Museum in ‘Washington, D. C., who has just re- turned from the Philippines, believes that the diminutive negroes called the Negritos, who are found in the mountains of all the larger islands of the Philippine group, are the original | natives of the Philippines. “They have been gradually drivenm! into the mountains by superior forces,” said Doctor Newton, “and today I presume there are not more than 25,000 of them in the islahds. They are the perfect type of savage. | They have no houses, wear no cloth- ing and live by hunting. Occasional- ly—very occasionally—they grow a little rice. They use poisoned ar rows and are very similar in stature and habits to the African dwarfs. The men are usually four feet six inches or seven inches in height and the women about four feet five inches. Among themselves they think noth- ing of murder. In the northeastern part of Luzon there are large bodies of them in a district never yet pene- trated by white men.” KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT IT] Hubby’s Confession Did Him Honor, " but Really Was Not Much of a Surprise to Wife. , “Marle,” sald Mr. Valesburg to his wife. . “Yes, John.” “I have something on my mind that T must tell you before I can ever be Pappy.” “I shall be glad to hear anything Fou have to say, John.” “It is hard to tell you, but I can't kide the truth any longer. Marle, 1 married you under false pretenses.” “You did!” “Do you remember what it was that “Can I ever forget it, John? We were at the bathing beach, I was drowning, and you saved me after I bad given myself up for lost.” “And afterward, in gratitude, you married me.” “Yes, I felt that I owed my life to you.” “Marie, 1 deluded you about that rescue business. Where you believed yourself drowning the water was only wafst deep. You were never in dan- er.” “I knew it, John,” she answered. “I had one foot en the bottom all the tme.” Go Away Down. “Good gracious!” exclaimed the first. amateur fisherman; “I’m nearly out of hooks. I don’t think fishhooks go as far as they used to.” “Well, T know they do when they get into eels,” replicd the second ama- teur fisherman, sadly. i Lower Animals That Count. There are human beings, such as in- habitants of the Murray islands in the | Straits of Torres, that cannot count further than two. But, most surpris- ing still, most animals possess calcu- lating abilities, and several have a dis- tinet appreciation of number. In cer- tain mines of Hainault the horses are 50 used to traversing the same road 80 times that after their last round they go to the stable of their own ac- | cord and refuse to take another step. | Montaigne says that the oxen em- ployed in the royal gardens of Susa for turning the wheels to which the water pails were attached absolutely refused to make more than 100 rounds, which constituted their daily task, Device to Frighten Baboons. A novel method of trying to get rid of the baboon nuisance in the Graaf. reinet district, Cape Colony, was re- cently put into operation by a farmer. This man conceived the idea of get: ting rid of the nuisance by capturing a full-grown male baboon, dressing him in all the colors of the rainbow, 'umng a sheep-bell round his neck, nd turning him loose to join thg roop to which he belongs. The farmer believes that by so doing there will be no baboons seen in his neigh: Yorhood for a good many years. I Steering Committee.

WITH MY INTAL Somewhat Ambiguous. The banquet hall was adorned with many beautiful paintings, and the president of the little college was call- ed upon to respond to a toast. Wish- Ing to pay a compliment to the ladi~s present he designated the paintings with an eloquent gesture and said: “What need is there of these painted beauties when we have so many with us at the table?” Making Sure of the Present. Mgr. Donner, archbishop of Bor deaux, was taken to task for his friendly intercourse with the Protes- tant minister in that city. The very 1 tolerant prince of the church replied: “Pray allow me to have the pleasure of seeing him in this world, as I am pot so sure of meeting him in the next.” Licorice, Licorice belongs to the pea or vetch family, and grows wild, the plant commonly reaching a height of about four feet. It is the long, straight root which is of commercial value. No means have been adopted for cutting the plant, which requires about three years to reach maturity or for improving its condition, Popular Sun Bath. The sun bath is said to be so popu- lar at present in Germany that in several cities one can buy a ticket for p sun bath just as in America one buys a ticket for a bath in the surf. |} The sun bath ticket entitles the hold- er to a room for disrobing, a bathing suit and a “place in the sun.” it A AR AN % 7500 This spacé reserved by the Bemidji Townsite & Improvement Go, i For price of lots, terms etc., E INQUIRE OF ' Bemidji or write, T.
