T .ciated with the cards Origin of Playing Cards. Although it is, commonly reported that playing cards were invented in France in 1392 to divert Charles VI, D’Allemagne. a French writer on the | subject, mentions them as being in use in Belgium in 1379, and probabiy something analagous to them—mark ed disks or counters—have been em- ployed in the east from remote an tiquity. It is now usually thought that it was in Italy playing cards were first made, about 1370, and at Venice The attempt to connect their inven tion with astrology arises from the four suits, and 52 cards in all, being associataed in ingefiious minds with four seasons and the number of weeks in the year. It does-not appear likely | that there was anything more asso than amuse ment at the first, though gambling was a vice with the Greeks and Rom- ans long before the Christian era, and games for gain with some kinds of counters were doubtless found among them. ) Turkish Whipped Cream. “I don’t blame the Turks for refus. Ing to accept the terms of the allies,” said the avid newspaper reader. “Why, them Turks is more than licked,” came back the man with whom our friend had elected to start an argument. “But, according to the- latest re- ports, the cream of the Turkish army is still in the field” | ““The cream? Say..it's better tham that. -It’s the whippea cream)” aiesleseszeofoste desfoofertiofedeoledodode feode o dedeodedueteode Zodeeofoods B e Qe o e e e e Qoo BB B B B D € @ MQOQ.OO"%‘ HIS rabbit wants to run away, Des see him jerk an’ beg, But 1 is goin’ to watch him till } He lays a Easter egg! . . i i i - * + * e L e R T L L L R R L s 2 ] S —— Low Spots. It has been left to the United States geoiogists to localize the most de pressed and depressing places on the earth. Ilvery continent dips some where beneath the level of the sea. In the states itself the lowest depth is the aptly named Death Valley of Cal ifornia, about 300 feet below sea level The old world, however, strikes a low: @r depth—1,200 feet—in the region of the Dead Sea. We now learn that the fiooding of -the Sahara, a dream of sangnine engineers, is impossible, for the general height is above sea level. Europe holds her head high, except on the Casplan shores, where she droops eighty-six feet. Australia, one is glad to hear, keeps her chin well above wa ter. He Was Careful. “I thought you told me Bunch could talk Russian,’ “So he can.” = “Then why wouldn’t he talk to the Russian gentleman who came here yes terday?” iy i “Pecause that ulcerated tooth bas made his jaw so tender.” 5 As a Bracer. “How do you feel this morning?” “My tongue feels like an old rug” “Mine, too. Well, the best thing for that fuzzy feeling is a comphor cock taln with a mothball in it.” SPRING USHERED IN _ BY BAD STORMS (Continued from first page). der the feet of a team of horses and severely hurt. The first effects'of the storm were felt south and east of Chicago. Wires routed around the south end of Lake Michigan went down within an hour of the time the storm struck. Then the territory. west of the city was cut off; and about two hours later the last of the above = ground wires along the north shore succumbed to the combined forces of ice and wind. The only lines which survived were two wires to St. Louis. Over these were carried a very small part of the mass of intelligence which normally is received and sent out —from Chi- cago. The only crumb of comfort to those charged with transmitting press and commercial teelgrams was that Good Friday holiday relieved them of the usual burden of broker- age and market reports. Six hours after the storm broke the -|sun forced its way through the clouds and the disturbance ceased almost as suddenly as it had begun. Estimates of the loss to wire and, transportation companies placefl the figures as high as $150,000. ; TEAM. CONGRATULATED (Continued from first page). the hands of Bemidji people. The local boys have not asked the busi- ness men for a donation ‘to support the team as the people have attended the games and the team has beén able to clear all their debts and are now on a firm financial basis. 1f possible one more basket ball game will be played but the boys are anxious to organize a base ball team which they expect to be as sucessful with as they were with basket ball. PROVED END OF THE ROMANCE Contemplation of Work That Really.|| Was Work Too Much for This Weary, Willie. “Oh, yes, we have romance in our lives,” said the tramp, “but there is always something to spoil ’em. 1 had my last one last fall. I was pegging along a Rhode lIsland highway, think- ing more of good feed than romance, when a couple of wearies ahead of me turned into a farmhouse. I turned in as well when I came along up and I walked into the kitchen just as they had locked a girl up in a closet and were about to go through the house. They invited me to take a hand in their game, but I took two in my own. They made it interesting for me for three or four minutes, but the average -weary is no boxer. He depends upon wild swings instead of straight punches. I had 'em both down when the farmer came up from the field and the girl was released and the fel- lows sent off to jail. “Well, currant jam, big red apples and mince pies were none too good for me for the next week. The daugh- ter was a school ma’am about twenty years of age and I had won her ro- mantic heart ere three days had passed. I think the old’ man would have sanctioned the match, but he didn’t take me right. On the fourth day. of my stay he took me out and showed me a ten-acre lot of the ston- lest ground I ever saw in my life and intimated that I might start in plow- ing next morning. It was too much. That night I left the house by way of a window and daylight found me seven miles away. I would have helped gather apples or husked corn, but when it came to plowing among-houl- ders as big. as barrels romance fled, and I followed close at her heels.” Important Thing to Know. It 2 man is dependent upon his life- work by means of his thinking it is just as important that he should choose that time when he is best qualified to think, as it is important that he should look before he crosses = street. “For the Easter Bride From . Her _Friend§ T3 By JOHN D. FALLON 3337 >@The problem of making appro- priate wedding presents is nolonger the task that it used to be. Of course, if one proceeds along the old method of purchasing without forethought, without knowing what to buy or where to buy, the prob- lem is one difficult of solution. Today, however, merchants who make 2 specialty of appropriate wedding gifts advertise them in THE PIONEER. By rrading these advertisements closely and con- stantly every night you will be able to choose at your leisure, know just what you want and purchase to best advantage. 9 Among the most pleasing gifts for the Bride are Sterling Silver- ware, Electric or Gas Lamps, Glass- ware, Cut "Glass. Hand Painted - China, Dinner Ware, Labor-saving - Household- Utensils and novelty Furniture. * All these things are advertised m THE PIONEER from " time to time by Bemidji's most re- liable merchants. Keep your eye on the advertise- ments which appear in THE PIO- NEER—they' will keev you posted on the “new_ things just out” and enable you.to purchase everything you buy with forethought.
