A young woman from Alaska is driving a string of Eskimo dogs and a husband around the world. Never knew dogs to stand the trip. The Hibbing Tribune says that its county commissioners are to have ap auto. It may develop to be a money saver at that in St. Louis county. European scientist tells us man exists later in the form of gas or electriclty. Thought the way the ‘meter runs he wasn’t entirely me- <chanical ‘ ‘When a woman moves into a new neighborhood the back yard quickly enlightens her as to the status of her neighbors. This is both moving time and cleaning time. In other states and sections one must go into the country to feel the real enfolding of the curtains at night. Here in Bemidji it is differ- ent. Come and see. A man by the name of Nutt discov- ered gas at Crystal Lake in a most peculiar manner. He is the proprie- tor of the Commercial hotel in that city. In 1912 the hotel was remod- eled and a new heating plant install- ed, being of the hot water type. The “boiler and radiators were filled from the city mains and are supplied with water from a well which is 800 feet deep. By accident a “pepcock” in the top of one of the radiators was open- ed one night. A match was lighted and in contact with the air blowing out of the radiator it ignited the gas, the flames shooting several feet above the radiator. An expert looking over the situation is of the opinion that the bottom of this well is within a few feet of natural gas or petroleum. This will undoubtedly prove a great boom to the city. The hotel heating plant is constantly being visited by scores of sightseers. No such luck here. Bemidji has no deep wells and the gas it gets will have to be paid for. Mileage books interchangeable among members of a family will be issued by the railroads of Minnesota after July 1 next, unless the roads should decide to fight the new law in the courts. The statute slipped through the legislature without attracting much notice, and the railroads made no stand against it when it was before the legislative railroad committees. What they may do towards resistng it has not been determined, according to the passenger and legal‘ depart- ments of the roads with headquarters if St. Paul. At present mileage books are good - only when presented by the person to whom they are issued. As the smal- lest mileage books are for 1,000 miles, and then good ox;’ly on the roads is- suing them, and only books for 2,000 miles or more are good on more than one road, the man who does not travel extensively is unable to take advantage of the reduced rate. Under the new law the advantages of the mileage book with its lower fare will be widely distributed. The head of the family can buy a book, and'-the wife and children can use it a8 well as himself. A, ; FEL TH -MISPLACED Colored Man Had Lost Confidence I» Fortune ' Tellers, Not ' Altogether Without Reason. : “I isp’t got de confidence in dese yuh fawchin-tellers dat I once ha sah,” a bit pessimistically remarke Brother Stimmerjohn. “Tudder day I’ goes into de side show, full o’ faith, and comes out turrectly, plumb empty., De mind reader—white lady, she was —was standin’ up dar on a tall wood- en pedestrian, wid-a han'ketcher tied. over her eyes, and a white man was suctionin’ ’round th’oco de crowd, uh- touchin’ dis and uh-grabbin’ dat, and de lady would holler out every time dess what 'twuz. In a minute de white man took up-holt o' muh fob and drug muh new watch out'n muh pocket. 4 “‘What’s dis? he axed de lady. “‘A gold watch!’ she retaliated right back, smack as yo’ please. “‘Whuh’s it gone to?’ I hollered, de next minute. “Yo’ see, when de gen'leman drug fo’th muh watch a bunch o’ white men with thick red necks on ’em shoved forrard to see de watch, and de fust thing I knowed I was up-hollerin’ whuh was it at, and dey was trompin’ all over muh feet and nudgin’ and ram- min’ twell in a minute mo’ I was plumb outside de tent wid no mo watch dan & rabbit, “Nussah—I isn’t got no confidence in dem dar fawchin tellers and mind readers no mo'! If de lady could-uh read muh mind she’d uh-knowed dat 1 got dat watch fum a mail-awdah sto’ for two dollahs and a half, and de blame thing wouldn’t keep no mo’ tims dan a brick!” ¢ MAKE USE OF SCALP LOCKS Elderly Bald Men Devise Means to Cover Up the Loss of Their Onco Luxuriant Locks. d “The first thing a barber has to learn,” he said, “is to respect the scalp locks of middle-aged and old gents.” “Scalp locks?” the interviewer quer ied. “A scalp lock,” the barber explained, “is a kind of natural wig. You know how men get bald—on the crown, leaving loads of hair at the back and sides? Well, from gsomewhere in the fertile region, from above the right ear, say, or from the back of the neck —men grow scalp locks eight, nine, ten inches—even a foot in length. “A good, full scalp lock jutting from behind the ear can be spread over 4 perfectly bald head.in such a way as to give the effect of a thin but quite nice thatch. You ought to see some of these old chaps manipulate their scalp locks. It's as good as a play, the way they wet them up, bring them forward over the huge white desert, part them to left and right, and stick them down firmly. “But when you cut off a scalp lock Dear me! I once cut off a ten-inch scalp lock from behind the left ear ‘of a’ sixty-year-old banker, and that evening his flancee, a lovely girl of seventeen summers, jilted him. Yes, sir—jilted all that money. She’d loved him, you see, for himself alone. And yet they say romance is dead om Broadway.” I Not His Funeral. ‘This is vouched. for as a true story. The rain was falling in torrents. The homeward-bound commuter, in rubbers and raincoat, holding' an umbrella against the storm, was making his way along the street when he spied a coach standing in front of a house, where crape on the door indicated the imminence of a funeral. The driver was huddled under oilskins on the box. “Say, can you rush me to the sta tion?” yelled the pedestrian. ‘The driver looked at his watch. “Yes, 1 guess I can make it,” he said, The commuter jumped in, and the coach rattled off. As his unexpected fare dismounted at the station apd handed the driver a dollar, at worthy remarked: “Wouldn’t a dast do it, sir, it 1 hadn’t known the preacher. I'll git back in plenty of time for the pro- cession.” “I know the preacher, too, the commuter as he made a dash- for his train, Spice Bags of Egypt. One of the most satisfactory meths ods of scenting the clothes closet, i a spice bag. These bags are imported from Egypt and are as pretty as they are fragrant. The spices are ar- ranged on a cushion of cotton batting and covered with white gauze. The sheerness of this bag permits the va- rious colors of the spices to glimmer through, giving a very pretty effect. The bags are tied with narow satin ribbon and can be hung anywhere, though the best results are obtained in the narrow confines of a closet or drawer. The color is so unusual and 80 very refreshing and appealing that many women hang them beside the dressing table, thus perfuming the en- tire room. More Than Kind. “In my young days, says Mr. A. J. Swinburne in “Memoriés of a School Inspector,” “a rural schoolmistress entirely misinterpreted my kindness, which was prompted by a desire to quiet her nervousness. “I'asked her in as pleasant a volce' &8 I could summon if she could bave deer.’ ;i “She replied, simpering, ‘I have & lesson on clouds and one dn mist, but Cm sorry I have none on rain.” — e st 4e i e e oy 0T NOW “G0D’S” ANOINTED’ Kinge' Seom 1o Have Lost Much of ; ' Were Surrounded.

He also attends wars, where position (with the other statesmen who have brought on the war) at a | place called “headquarters,” which is usually about eighteen miles in the $ rear of the battle. Some say that the king is a back number. * He has been held up to ridi- cule o long that even the proletariat i8 no longer in awe of him. Still, by a sort of royal inertia, he continues to exist—like the vermiform appendix. - Some kings are fat-and others are thin; some tall and others short; all .kings are uneasy; this king is no: ex- ception to the rule. He has a number of crowns, some of them larger than others, in order to fit the various sizes of his head. He keeps on hand a collection of prerogatives, which he uses more sparingly than was his wont. The king usually keeps a dréss suit case packed with a few necessary clothes in the event that he may have to leave the throne and his creditors in a hurry. This shows that kings are oftentimes wiser than they seem.— Lite, ATTRIBUTES OF NUMBER 7 _Numeral Associated Usually With Holy Things—Original Jokes Known to Mankind. Pythagoras declared that while the number three contained the most sub- lime mysteries, the number seven is powerful for good or evil and is asso- ciated especially with holy things, re- marks Philip Hale in the Boston Her- ald. There are seven deadly sins among Christians and Moslems; the seven champions of Christendom, the seven league boots, the seven sages of Greece; the seven sleepers of Ephes- tes, the seven sorrows of Mary, the seven heavens known to the cabalists, the seven virtues, the seven wonders of the world, the seventh son of a sev- enth son. In the early church there could be only seven deacons to each town. Jacob served seven years for Rachel. In the Bible we read of seven bullocks, rams, men, sons, spirits, stars, seals. The strong gods pine for my abode, 4And pine in vain for the sacred seven.. -original ‘and only jokes? We ‘ha never seen them in print or mani script. Undoubtedly one of them h: something to do with a mother-in-law’ Possibly “When is a door not a door? Was one of them. Of this we may be sure: Jokes told in the ark are re- peated confidently today in musical comedies, -comic papers, - clubs and even by the happy fireside. The Woman of It. “Then you refuse me?” he asked dramatically. P “I do, John,” answered the maiden. “Is it because I have no fortune?” “Not at all.” “Is it my looks?” “Ye-e-es. I have just been reading that people who marry grow to look like each other, and although I love you, John, I—I—TI really don’t think I could stand to look like you.” “You silly girl,” he exclaimed. “May- be it will be I who will grow to look like you.” “Oh, John,” she .said joyously, “I never thought of that.. I'm sure it ‘would be great for us to look like each other, wouldn’t it? Won’t you please forgive me? Legal Opinion. “Acat sits on my back fence every night and he yowls and yowls and yowls. Now, I don’t want to have any trouble with neighbor Jomes, but this thing has gone far enough, and I want » gaid | YOU to tell me what to do.

For example, in referring to | the outburst of a gentleman who drank a pint of whisky on Saturday and awoke on Tuesday in jail with the .| charge hanging heavily over his head the children recite on the ‘Rein . e of having set fire to two houses and a barn, the writer of the item sarcas- tically commented, “Drunk; of course,” people will say, “Now, I would like to Aimagine that poor, misguided gent was rehearsing a vaudeville act?” A Word of Regret. { “Women’s hats are becoming small [ “Yes,” replied Mr. Growcher, *“I'm sorry 1 ever complained about the big hats. .
