T. Winship said there was no comparison between Owatonna and Alexandra and Bemidji. The trouble with us is that we let everyone walk over us with our - shrugging our and saying “It’s good enough.” That’s why we have a un- ion depot that is a disgrace to the city, to the local Board of Health, and almost to the mayor and coun- eil.” Either Mr. Winship has a rusty memory or he hasn’t been in Bemidji for the past three years. shoulders Easy When You Know How. A little girl was looking at a picture of a number of ships, when she ex- claimed. “See what a flock of ships!” ‘We corrected her by saying that a flock of ships is called a fleet, and a fleet of sheep is called a flock. And about here we may add, for the bene- fit of the foreigner who is mastering the intricacies of our language, that a flock of wolves is called a pack, and a pack of thieves is called a gang, and a gang of angels is called a host, and a host of purpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal of buffaloes is call- ed a troop, and a troop of partridges is called a covey, and a covey of beau- ties is called a galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians is called a horde, and a horde fo rubbish is called a heap, and a heap of oxen is called a drove, and a drove of blackguards is called a mob, and a mob of worshippers is called a congregation and a congre- gation of engineers is called a corps, and a corps of robbers is called a band, and a band of locusts is called a swarm, and a swarm of people is called a crowd, and a miscellaneous crowd of city folks is called the pub- lie—Ex. ; Pawned Hls Watch to Eat. A . gray-haired man entered the pledge department of the municipal loan agency of the board of publig welfare at Kansas City. In one hand he Leld a pair of false teeth, in the other was his gold watch. “How much on the watch?” he asked. Ralph Perry, who conducts the de partment, assured him that $3 would about cover it. “Well, I guess that will fix them,” he said, and placed the false teeth in a pocket of his coat. Then he ex- plained, “My teeth are broken and in order for me .to eat anything solid they must be fixed. I don’t need a watch, anyhow, until I can enjoy my meals.”—Kansas City Times. ©One-Room House for $45,000, Among the London properties sub- mitted for auction recently was the so-called “smallest house in London.” This is in Hyde Park place and" was described at the sale as living up to its title ,as it only consisted of one room. That solitary room is, however, of some value, since the property was eventually bought in for more than $45,000.—London Globe. HELP WANTED IN BEMIDI And Furnished by the Help of Bem- idji People. Those who suffer with kidney backache, urinary ills or any little kidney or bladder disorder, want kid- ney help. ‘Who can better advise than some Bemidji resident, who has also suffered, but has had relief. Be- midji people recommend Doan’s Kid- ney Pills. Here’s one case and there are many others. Oliver Gordhamer, carpenter, 1200 Dewey avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says: “Some years ago I was annoyed by my kidneys. It hurt-me to-stoop or lift and in the morning, I felt stiff and lame. T used two boxes of Doan’s Kidney : Pills -.and’ they gave me strength.. This remedy can be: pro- cured-at Barker’s Drug Store.”’* “When, Your Back is Lame-—Re- member. the Name.” Don’t simply ask: for ‘a kidney remedy-—ask dis- tinetly for -Doan’s Kidney.

Few more humorous sketches of bird life have ever been.written, and the jay’s curiousity and ‘astonlsh- ment at finding the hole apparently not fillable are remarkably true to life. One of the blue jay’s strongest traits is curiosity, and he may be called away from acorn gathering by simply drawing a breath in sharply against the back of the hand. If this were his worst vice we could admire his jaunty manner and bril- liant shades of blue without misglv- ings; but the darker crime of nest robbing is laid at his door. Yet in the spring and summer he does much to atone for his faults by destroying great numbers of grubs and harm- less insects. And when he comes bold- ly around the farmhouse in winter, his azure coat giving a touch of al- luring color to the sunny background, we forget his shortcomings. Belonging to the crow family, he joins in its fued against owls, and right royally does he uphold his end. Follow up the next excited jay con- vention you hear in the woods, and you will probably find the flood of billingsgate directed at an owl, ibly annoyed at the attention he is re- ceiving. The screech owl is their us- ual victim, and more rarely the great horned owl.” The tormentors seem to understand their enemies’ helpless- ness in daylight. The larger owl ap- pears impassive; but sometimes the smaller one is goaded into attempts at reprisal. These attacks are easily eluded by the active jays, and their tantalizing does. not cease until the night pirate has slipped into hiding among evergreens oOr a, convenient hole in a tree. The jay can be trained by patience, and makes a very interesting pet, al- though if given too much freedom he is likely to cause annoyance by steal- ing any article that attracts his fancy.

Now, you'd oblige me very much if you'd let me have a bit of cloth for a patch.” “Yes, here is some.” “Thankee very much, mum. It's a little different in color from my. suit, 1 see.

Ceremony of _ Spring Mu by Chiness lmp.nr and His Court important _ceremony spring plowing, which' from memorial has bun the Chinese . people the lmpomnco of tlling the earth ‘and sticking to the farm. The emperor, accompaniéd by his retinue, was accustomed to pro- ceed in great state to the sacred fleld. At each of the four corners of the feld stood a pavifion, where the weeds of wheat and other cereals-were kept. In the middle of the fleld numbers of magnificently attired courtiers held ploft many-colored flags, while - thou- sands of farmers looked on, each hold- Ing some agricultural hnplamcnt in his hand. Placing his left hand on the plow, and holding a~whip in his right hand, | the emperor began the ceremony. By prearrangement, the officers-did their allotted share, some wielding hoes, and others scattering seeds out of bas- kets, as if sowing them, while the em- peror_was busy with the plow, which was. hitched to a richly caparisoned bullock, draped in-yellow, and led by’ two of: the emperor’s bodygusrd. ‘When the emperor finished his stint at the plow, the royal .princes went through. a similar performance, and after them nineof the highest court- fers took & turn. Thus the ceremony was completed, and the royal plow- man and his train returned to the pal- ace. Now that 80 many other ceremonies have been done away with, the world mildly wonders whether there will be pnother spring plowing.—Youth's Companion. SOLDIERS WHO.

At last the patience of the bride was falrly ovértared and she thus politely addressed her lord and mastér, in the hearing of the assembled friends, “Canna ye boo, ye brute?” Still Démand for Flints.
