The ‘Eesent” Question Before Us world shall “What in the I give her?” How many times have you said that as you read an invitation to a wedding? Your dilemmas are no different from a thousand other people’s. We are all in the same boat when it comes to deciding on a wedding present. It is a human failing for the imagination to balk at that point. Next time you get an nivita- tion don’t cudgel your brains and confuse your mind with worry. It is a waste of time aid takes away all the pleasure of giving. Just pick up The Pioneer or any other good newspaper and run carefully through the advertise- ments. The first thing you know you will exclaim, “That's the very thing!” There are many useful and beautifu] articles, and there is no quicker way of choosing one. that suits both your taste and your purse than to glance over the countless suggestions offered daily in our advertising columns. POSTMASTERS T0 TAKE EXAMINATIONS (Continued from first page). plicant to fill out an application blank which may be obtained from the postmaster, and notice of time of the examination will be served a few days before it is held. In every case the character and record of the applicant must be good and the ap- plicant be vouched for by at least five persons. It is quite probable that Bemidji will be the point where all examina- tions for Beltrami county offices will b> taken. Sam Cutter, postal bank clerk, has a commission as examiner, and it is before him that practically all civil service examinations for the courty are held. Announcement was made this morning by Postmaster Erickson that'on June 28 the examination will be held here for the purpose of filling a contemplated vacancy in the fourth class postoffice at Tenstrike. All ap- plicants must be residents of the ter- ritory covered by the Tenstrike of- fice. T0 BE LESS THAN A MAN (Continued from first page). the more likely he is to be a christ- ian.” “I am a christian, not because T am afraid and want to get away from hell, not because I want to be happy and get to heaven, but I am a christ- ian because I want to be a man at my best.” (By Rev. 8. E. P. White.) Without fear or favor Rev, I. E. Honeywell addressed an audience of only men Sunday afternoon and man- ifested the same earnestness which has characterized all his addresses. He called attention to the that the power of choice is the great est faculty that God has given to man, Without it man is & mere ma- chine. “To_choose life,” said ‘the evangelist, “Is to choose Christ. Every man ought to choose God, because he needs Christ. Impossible to fulfill the purpose of life without ' being a Christian man. - Man was created four square. He has his intellectual side, his social side, his physical side and his religious side. No man-is a complete man, the best possible for him to be until he has taken Christ and satisfied'and developed his spir- itual side. To neglect any one or more of these faculties w!ll make a him an incomplete man.” ‘This noon there was given a lunch- eon in the basement of the Presby- terian church for the business men. Mr. Honeywell addressed. the men after the luncheon for a little time. The service of this evening will be of espccial interest to men. He will deal with those great truths which are found to give somc men the most difficulty. This will be of especial in- terest to honest doubters and honest skeptics. At the tabernacle at 7:45. lnhm 1t wofihlneu of the pmfsuion of acting.” Mrs. James puts it justly, and not too strong, when she says: “When conventional law or public opinion denounces as inexpedient what they cannot prove to be-wrong, stigmatize what they allow, take delight in what they affect to .condemn, what wonder that from’ such barbarous, such senseless inconsistency, should spring a whole heap of abuses and mistakes! < As to the idea that act- ing, as a profession, is incompatible with female virtue and modesty, it is Inot merely an insult to the estim- able women who have adorned and still adorn the stage, but to all wom- ankind. It makes me blush with in- dignation.” Next Sunday morning the “Little Bemidg” baseball team will journey to Blackduck where they will play the city team at that place. A game had been scheduled for last' Sunday but was called off by the manager of the Blackduck team as many of their players had expressed a desire to ac- company the Bemidji team to Inter- .|national Falls, THEATRE AND MORALS (Continued from first page). as a rule conducive to the develop- ment of the best qualities of charac- ter. The reason of this is a peculiar and most human one. The portion of society that calls itself “the best” (those .organized in churches for the moral uplift of mankind) unfortun- ately fell into the grievoug error .of stigmatizing as bad a calling which in itself is just-as good as selling dry goods and might be made just as helpful as preaching. Get to the bottom of the matter and you will admit, if you be. clear- minded, that acting is one of the natural functjons of men and women. It is the first . profession of every ¢hila. The baby’s first occupation is “playing” mother or father or grocer or teamster or preacher. Acting ought to be as honorable as preaching or writing. It is a nor- mal form of the interpretation of life, % How did it come to have a bad name? Simple because it gives pleas- ure. I do not like to say any hard words against Puritanism, because we owe to it many a debt for its staunch righteousness and its deep sense of human responsibility; but along with the angels of Puritanism “Satan cam also”; and the Satan was a deep sus- picion toward plain humn happiness.’ The stage fell under the ban .of the church, and it was a sad thing for both. For the theater did become bad, according to the well known law that if you continually call any class of people bad they tend to be- come so. And the church was injured be- cause, having taken a false position, it felt bound to stick to it. There is no consistency so terrible as the con- sistency of those whose profession it is to be good. Fortunately the theater is outgrow- ing its anathema. Sonie church cir- fact part society has come to recognize the cles still glower, but for the most Farmer’s Fight With Rats. Finding a scare or more of rats in his granary, Frank McClain, a Wash ington- county farmer, entered with a club, ehut the door and started t6 da battle with them. The animals had all entered through one hole, and, as they could not leave simultaneously, those which were unable to reach the point of exit turned on the farmer and gave him battle, Three of them ran up. his leg unden neath his trousers, and these he squeezed to death with his. hands Others swarmed up his clothing. Alarmed for his safety, McClain called his wife, who was outside awaiting de velopments, and she opened the door and allowed the rats to escape, Me Clain was nut severely bitten, owing ta the fact that he was wearing heavy woolen clothing as well as an over coat, Warning to Bores. ‘When the man upon whom you are calling begins to dium on his desk with his fingers, he is not drumming “the devil’s tattoo” at random.

Cynthia, a young negro cook, who had recently given up her employ- ment in order that she might try her luck at the easier profession of cater ess, met her former mistress on the street. (This is from Life) ' “Good morning, Cynthia,” said the lady. “Where are you working now?” “1 {sn’t workin’ nowhere now, ma'am,” replied Cynthia, ceyly; “I'se capering for a congressman.” Chinese-Matches. We learn from a Japanese contom- porary that the market for matches in Hong Kong and the surrounding districts had until recently been con- trolled by the Japanese products. Chi- nese manufactures have, however, now made considerable progress, as the result of which the Japanese prod- uct has been totally driven out of: the markets of Canton and the neighe borhood Republican. the Pioneer price.

The hens stayed together nice: 1y, but the roaster showed a tendency to wander. into the next-dogr neigh- bor’s chicken yard. Dolly chased him back- time -and again, until she was tired and out of Ratience. She turned her back for'a minute, and when she looked round there were the.hens up by the coop, while the rooster was se- dately pacing across the garden to- wards the next yard. Dolly stamped her foot on the side- walk and screamed: “Come back here! Come back to your own fame {ly.” The rooster proceeded with per fect equanimity. Dolly watched him for a moment with a look of utter dis gust. Then her mother heard her say, very emphatically: & _ “That’s just like you men, ‘any way.”—London Tit-Bits. For Convalescent Child.
