MANY WENT FISHING TODAY " Bemidji Was Fairly Covered With Boats and Launches. More thdn one hundred fishérmen wereout on Lake Bemidji today en- Jjoying the opening of the fishing sea- son. Reports indicate that fishing is unusually good in the lake this year. The railroad bridge was lined with anglers of various ages and size and many good catches were made from this point. Out-of-town sportsmen and some Bemidji people left Wednesday for some of the lakes in the nearby country and record breaking catches are reported. TENT IS TORN TO SHREDS Several targets are practleally all that is left of the old tent shooting gallery which has adorned Third street for several years. Yesterday’s wind storm damaged the tent to such an extent that if it is replaced it will have to be by a new one.

Prison terms from one year to life sentences were thought of, when one of the two happened to think that both might be condemped to die. “Gee, Sam, we's liable to be execut- ed fo’ dis job,” he exclaimed. “Dat's s0,” said the other. . “Sam, it we s gotta die, how does you want to kick off?” continued the fArst. “Ah dunno,” said Sam. “Ah cer tainly cain’t see much in dat hang- In’ stuff.

MIDDLE ‘OF THE ROAD BEST Pretty Good Path to Travel If One ls Sure He Has Selected the Right Highway. FLYING GLASS CUT BABY Flying glass from a’ window brok- en by the wind storm yesterday after- noon struck the three months old|. baby of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

A five-story concrete building, the concrete being made of oyster shell from the reefs of Galveston bay, has been erected at Galveston, Tex. The owners of the building and its con- structors, Nic Bohn and G. Tietze, claim this material is better and cheaper than concrete made with gravel. Shell concrete built into a wall three feet high and 336 feet long in 1882 withstood the severe test of fire and water and is today as sound as when built. It is estimated that the shells of 5,896,000 oysters are im- bedded in the walls of this building. This is said to be the only building ot its kind in the world. In spite of all the talk, most of us would still rather travel on a rail road than in an aeroplane or sub. marine boat. You don’t have to get clear off of the road to keep out of e rut. You have known those whe | would give up a position and make an entire change in business for “a lot more money.” They would come around at noon, all rigged out like the flags of all nations, and tell you about the “snap.” Then they would disap- * | pear, and the next you would hear ot them they would be needing plugs for the holes in their shoes or wearing a straw hat“in October. It is a pretty shfe guess that it will Not cherubs, but children! Yes,| | that is what Rubens painted in this picture, children rather than cherubs. : “And why not,” he might be imagin’ ed as asking . hood, in its purity, cherubic?” Andl were one to judge by the beauty with | which Rubens has invested this group of children, it would have to be ad- mitted that his position is not with- out something to be said for it. Rubens’ inheritance from genera-| tions of Flemish ancestors was a| mind not wanting in imagination. But his imagination, to become satis- fied, required a very definite, a very real, embodiment of its conception. In this charming party of children| there is little of a spiritual nature. To be sure, one of them does show a wing; but they are healthy babies rather than ethereal beings. They| behave like real children too. Doubt- less Rubens has in this picture used his own children for models, or at least one of them. Throughout his life we find him using the members of his family in this way. We find both his wives again and again in his pie- tures—here as a Madonna, there as a saint. Notice too, how quick Rubens has been to see the value of the garland of fruit in its positiveness of coloring as a contrast to the delicate flesh tones of the children. What a knot of glowing color the plump bodies make, and how it is relieved by the fruit, the gree, the landscape, and the cushion at the right! At the time he painted this picture “After all, is not child-| | greatness that he could see the heau- (when he was also painting the great |opened negotiations with him for ithe head of a lesser man, pay you to go to the end of the road Ihflmlt& s Not Gen- wn Except to the - tiflo World. for oolobhllnflnoll come’ fnto practicaliuse in the examination of rallroad engineers and the like, where the ability to distin- necessary, %o that tests’ are. no longer peculiar to the laboratory.

Hussars originally were scarcely re- apectable enough to include the prince of Wales among their numbers. For the word “hussar” is akin' to | “corsair,” and the first hussars were freebooters. As part of a regular army, the hussar appeared in Hun- gary in 1458, when King Matthias Cor- | vinus raised a corps of light horse un- der the name to fight the Turks. Name and fame of the Hungarian hus- sars spread -throughout Europe, and Frederick the Great of Prussia was not above dispatching an officer to study their work. °The British hus- ar dates from 1865, when the Sev- enth regiment was converted from light dragoons into hussars. yellow or ‘blue. This region of the eye 18 known as the yellow-blue zone. It.the color be removed still farther to the side, the yellow and blue will dis- appear and only gray can be seen. This region is known as the zone of complete color-blindness. An inter- esting theory in regard to these zones Is that every normal eye represents three stages of evolution. - The zone of complete color-blindness is the low- est stage, and appears in such ani- mals as the frog, whose vision is known shadow vision. The blue- yellow zone 18 one step higher in the scale, although not clearly marked off In the animal kingdom. And the ap- pearance of the red-green zone marks the highest stage of evolution. Cases of . color-blindness - are, according to this theory, a lack of development be- yond the early stage in the individual life:—Professor Puflanbeuer in the Btrand.

If it is straight enough and wide enough for you to see those who havé reached the end of it; if you care to go the way the best of them went, for the best they got for the go- ing, keep going.—Exchange. ECHOES LOUDER THAN SOUND Probably Hard Thing to Imagine, But Science Has Proved It a Fact - Beyond Doubt. Rubens’ services were being sought by several of the royal courts of Europe. It is another sign of his ty in such a domestic group as this historical -canvases and his great re- ligious - pictures. There was, it is said, a waiting list of more than a hundred young men who wanted to study under his direction. And about this time Maria de’ Medici of France ‘To most persons it would seem im- possible for an echo to-be louder than the sound that produced the echo, but under certaln rather - peculiar condi tions this is really true. When a revolver is fired from a bal- loon the report is sharp, but not so loud as it would be if the gun were fired on the surface of the earth. If the balloon is up something like 2,000 feet or higher, there will be a few seconds’ silence after the revolver shot and then a roar or deep rumble will rise up from the earth. If an explosive is lowered from the basket of the balloon until it hangs a few hundred feet below, and it is dis- charged with an electric spark from a battery in the hands of one of the aeronauts, there will come to the ears of those above a report like a re- volver shot and then a few seconds of silence, followed- by a peal of the painting the series that so gloriously fills one of the galleries of the Louvre at Paris today. But these honors, which so quickly would have turned did not cause Rubens to lose the power of finding beauty in the home life, as we find it in this picture. “And does the Ambassador amuse himself with painting?” _a Spanish courtier is said to once have asked Rubens. “No, Senior” was Rubens’ reply, “the painter amuses himself by being ambassador.” Every day a different human inter- est story will appear in the Pioneer.

WOULD END POETICAL GUSH English Suffraglsts Protest Against the Effusions Put Out About the Sex by Men. “It 18 people who write poetry about as who prevent us women getting the vote.” The sentence arrested me in reading Violet Hunt's story of the “Celebrity’s Daughter,” at a week-end, with the smashing of windows, the cutting up of golf greens, the spoil- Ing of letters and the threats of other horrors in my ears and eyes, says a writer in the London Chronicle. For men persist in writing poetry about women, to their amazement, and no women are writing poetry about men. Man is the poetic sex. He goes about—I may tell you—with snippets trom the papers in his pocketbook, and takes them now and again as & | ‘husky, RO sort of stimulant. ‘Moreover, the man writes:his poetry secretly, sends it to the newspapers, and they. publish it.

The high #chool period—including the years from fourteen to eighteen —is the most critical period in the lite of the boy. President G.

A man recently in New York laid a wager that he would woo, win and marry within an hour a young lady whom, with his companions, he had Just seen arrive at the hotel where he was living. ‘There is nothing in the ‘American marriage law to prevent this dispatch. He introduced himself to the damsel, she smiled upon his suit, a minirter was called in, and they were married within an hour. Tbe wager, of no inconsiderable amount, was handed to the bride groom, who left with his bride the following day. It was shortly after wards dlscovered that the couple had been man and wife, and that they had been traveling about playing the sameé trick at various hotels.
