A State Building. The house committee on flnance bas tabled the bill appropriating $150,000 for a Minnesota building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition which will be held in San Francisco in 1915. 1t appears that the committee believe Minnesota cannot afford to have a building at this great exposition. That this is an excellent opportun- ity to advertise Minnesota will hard- 1y be doubted by anyone and the fact that the Minnesota exhibit would be housed in the building Hundreds Minnesota would enhance its value. of thousands of people, at least halt of whom will come from the east, will visit San Francisco during year. the Those east of the Mississippi will probably go by one route and re- turn by another. 1f Minnesota has a building and an exhibit which does any justification at all to the great resources of this state, hundreds of these easterners will return home through Minnesota. They will see something ot the cities, something of the country, and, if at all interested, will stop here for a few days to investigate the opportunities oftered here. It is an opportunity to advertise the state that will not come again in many years. It may be that the finances of the state are in such a condition that an appropriation of $150,000 is too much. If that is the case, the com- mittee can fix an amount within reas- on. If the stat~ cmmwnt afford to erect a building .on the site which has al- ready been provided, it should at least provide for a smaller exhibit from which advertising literature can be distributed. To have all of the states west of the Mississippi and some east. housed in their own buildings, with Minne- sota, than which tnere is none better, housed in a booth off in some corner, tage of an unequaled opportunity. This From Minneapolis, The Minneapolis Journal, with its circulation of 100,000, Monday night came to the aid of Bemidji and other cities in Minnesota affected with a surplus of saloons with the following editorial: “The Case of Bemidji.” “The Bemidji comes strongly to the support of the Nelson bill now pending in the legislature tor the reduction of the number of The bill stipulates that as licenses expire, they shall not be renewed until the number Pioneer saloons throughout the state. of licensed saloons in each place has been reduced to one for each tive hundred of population. In the case of Bemidji that would mean eleven or twelve saloons in place of the thirty-four that are now wildly competing for business there. So strenuous has this competition been that one citizen of Bemidji, at the hearing in St. Paul, declared that the principal business of the Bemidji sa- loons is to separate the lumberjack from his roll and that the sooner this was accomplished the better for all concerned. “The Pioneer declares strongly for the Nelson bill on the ground that thus the state will free the city ‘from a condition which ‘has fought from the inside and which is still with us’ The Piomeer adds: ‘When business which would make a long. been fair income for eleven saloons, with~ out the necessity of law violations, is divided between thirty-four it is im- possible for all the owners to-make a living and stay within the strict in- terpretation of the law. Furthermore, the thirty-four are such’a drain on the resources of the city that retail oredits. today- are in a worwe shape o ment before the paper is fAinally stopped. Subscription Rates. ’ [ does not appear to be taking advan- | than ever hefore m the history of the elty.’ “With a smaller rumber of sa- loons-the present licemse of five hun;i dred dollarg could be raised to & thousand:-dollars or mores’so as to make up the loss in: city Tevenues. And beyond-question ‘the whole tone} of the city would be vastly lmproved.' * what is good for; Bemidji, is good for other Minnesota cities afflicted| g with-an overplus of saloons. = “The; - : Nelson bill is a step in the right dlrection.” PENCIL. PROVIDES OWN usnr[‘ Boon to Those Whose !uulm Makes 1t Necessary to Wrie in the Darie ness of the Night. An invention that will'prove of value | to doctors, detectives, reporters, po- | licemen, or any ene, in fact, who-has occasion to write or to take notes-in the derk, is that of a pencil-that fur. nishes its own light as its point passes along over the surface of the paper. The idea is simplicity itself. It con- sists of a pencil that has, in the tube throngh which the point for writing protrudes a small accumulator and an electric lamp. This little . lamp throws a small disk of light, so small that it can be hidden by ‘the Land, yet this light is quite suffidient to guide the writer in mov the point of his pencil for the proper formation of characters. Notes could be taken at the thea- ter when the house is tn darkness, doctors would find muany uses for it, detectives in hiding could.make brief notes as they preeeeded: with their duties, and the very busy reporter would find a thousand amd one uses for it almost amy month in the year. Although the light is purposedy very small and weak, yet one might locate & keyhole or a house number with it —_— Just Suited. An extremely mean inn-keeper was having some rooms repapered. ‘One day he went down to his cellar and discovered a cask of beer was just be- ginning to turn sour. “AL.” he thought, “T'll give it to the { workmen upstairs.” ‘So he., went up- stairs and said: “Here, you chaps, is a cask of beer for you.” A few hours later he went to the, place where the. men were working. Nobody said apything about the beer; so, finally, not being able to-bear it any longer, ke said: “Here, you ‘chaps, what did yoa think of that beer?” One of the men replied: “Oh, it suited.” “How do you mean, it sufted?” “Well,” said the man, “if it had bein ! any better we shouldn have had it, and if it had been any worse we couldn't have drunk it; so it nuibd il ] ice Gream Siot Machme.

Five hundred snake charmers, sound- Ing:weird notes on their pipes, formed the unusual, yet picturesque, proces- sion that followed to his grave Katch Sarak, & man of big renown in his business, who died in terrible agony: as the result of a cobra bite received' while practicing his profession in the | neighborhood of Garden Reach, India.. “Guru,” or god, he had become dubbed { by the people among whom he lived, such was his influence over poisonous; reptiles. His services were sought by & neighbor who had missed many:| fowls from his compound. Going at Jusk one ‘day, the snake charmer dis- sovered- a cobra of - unusual _size among the birds, so formidable, in fact, that he postponed his attempt to capture it until daylight, when he was successful in securing it. Instead of despatching the snake at once, he took it to the local bazaar for the edi- fication of the nattves. On attempting to extract its fangs, the cobra wrigs gled free and darted at its captor, who was bitten on three fingers. The “gurw’s” supposed godlike qualities proved of no avail. Consternation reigned among the crowd as he lay in awful agony; the news of his plight spread swiftly through the bazar, and more than & hundred other snake | charmers scurried to the scene, but all their efforts, all their devices, their‘ avail | earnest prayers were of no against the powerful poison. Within ninety minutes Katch Sarak was dead. Mean, ‘William Corcoran Kustis, the effi- cient chairman of the Washington in- ¢ augural committee, said the other day of a proposed inaugural economy: “No, that would look odd. too much like Scrooge. Scronge, at a S3YS¢ board meeting, cut his finger, and ‘L4 asked for a piece of sticking plaster. Nobody'had any ‘¥aster; but a mer- chant handed Scrooge a. two-cent .stamp. ‘Piat that on,’ he said. ‘It will stop ‘the ‘flow of blood.’ ‘Oh, thank you,’ said Scrooge; and, drawing forth stamp ‘therein, taking out a one-cent to affix upon his hurt.” :fii!lii&flkfi%fi&fli{ifilli * 4 FOR GOOD THINGS TO EAT GO TO ROE AND MARKUSEN “THEY BEAT.” 207 Fourth street, Bemidji.
