In 1834, after an exciting debate of several weeks, cougress passed a res- olution censuring President Andrew Jackson for removing the public de- posits from the old National bank. The resolution as passed by congress declared “that the president in the late executive proceedings in relation to the public revenue has assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the constitution and laws, ‘but in derogation of both.” The ac- tion of congress made Jackson and his friends very angry, and Senator Thom- as Benton of Missouri gave notice that he would bring forward every year a resolution to expunge the resolution of censure. After a struggle of three years Benton's resolution was finally passed. and black lines were drawn around the resolution of censure, with the in- scription, “Expunged by the order of the senate this 16th day of January, 1837.” Senator Benton was nicknamed “the great expunger.” His service to Jackson on this matter was considered the more remarkable because many years before he and Jackson had a 'pistol fight in a hotel at Nashville, in which Jackson was wounded and Ben- ton was pitched headlong downstairs. Never. “Never” is a word which is wrongly defined in the dictionary. In that book we gather the under- standing that “never” means not at all, forevermore. But— Each day in our broad land young women vow that they will never for- give young men. Men lift their right hands to high heaven and swear that they will never take another drink. Husbands promise never to forget to write every day. Wives promise never to make an- other extravagant and foolish purchase. Candidates aver that they will never run for office again. ‘Women say they will never speak to some one any more. In all these cases “never” means any length of time from one hour to four days.—Life. Louis’ Compliment to Conde. One need not overlook the enormous shortcomings of Louis XIV. as a man and as a king to admit that in some im- portant respects ‘he “tried to do his duty.” He was a hard working sover- eign both in the sphere of administra- tion and in that social sphere which ‘was to his mind no less important. So eourteous that he never passed the poorest woman about the palace with- out lifting his hat, he carried polite . eonsideration to the level of a fine art. In the way of courteous speech there are few things nobler than his remark to the great Conde as the old hero was slowly ascending the great marble staircase at Versailles. Conde apolo- gized for being so long in mounting the steps, at the top of which the king stood waiting. “Ah, cousin,” Louis re- plied, “one moves slowly when one is laden with laurels.” Little Surprises. “Mister, here’s them five tons of coal you ordered this morning.” “No, sir, this isn’t the real, genuine olive oil. That's the reason we sell it 80 cheap.” “You don’t need to waste any sym- pathy on me, old peg. I am satisfied with my job, my boss and my wages.” “Gentlemen, the conductor is asking us to move forward in the car. Come on; there’s plenty of room.” “Young man, we find that we have not been paying you enough, so we'll increase your salary $10 a week, begin- ning today.”—Portland Express. Proved His Case. Mother—The whipping you had yes- terday does not seem to have improved you. Your behavior has been even worse today. Willie—That's what I wanted to prove. You said I was as bad as I possibly could be yesterday. I knew you were wrong. advance- | THf : CUB kePORTER THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER A Whole Lot To Ask Of One Hen CHAMP 1S FROM MISSOUR| QUGHTAH KNOW ~5S0 WHEN S£2 - BUY YOURSELF A HEN = T Peoceeuep‘w BUY-30 KEEP LAMING HENS HE s:z-mo €AV AND HE TUESDAY.

The Christian festival of Easter cor- responds to the Pascha or Passover of the Jewish faith. Easter day (from which the rest of religious movable feasts are recorded) is invariably the first Sunday succeeding the fourteenth day of the calendar moon which (four- #teenth day) falls on or next after March 21. If the fourteenth day should be Sunday, Easter day would be the Sunday following. Air and Hunger. Experiments have shown that the air of an unventilated, occupied room contains substances which in some way and without producing conscious dis- comfort and detectable physiological symptoms diminishes the appetite for food.—Exchange. LR R R R R R R R R R R Y @ PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Typhoid Fever. A noted English sanitarian has said that every time one dies ‘ trict court, from typhoid fever some one should be hanged. Aside from this view and in the light of modern medical science, typhoid deaths are now admittedly the result of sanitary blunders or criminal carelessness. The ex- istence of typhoid fever bears the stigma of disgrace for two reasons—first, because we know more about its prevention and its filthy source than most any other disease and, second, be- cause its presence betrays filth, either as to our food and drink or as to our personal habits. Ignorance is no longer a cloak under which to hide the disgrace of typhoid fever. Keep your home and surroundings absolute- 1y clean, keep yourself and your clothing absolutely clean, keep your food absolutely clean, and you will have no typhoid fever. 00@@@@@@@@0@0@@@@@@O@@@@@@@@@@@O k4 (4 ® 4 4 4 kd @ @ & @ @ ® ® & & 4 @ & L4 @ @ ® @ @ 4 @ @ 4 4 AR RCRCRRCR A AR AR 24 Sugar. Our word “sugar” is said to be de- rived from the Arabic “sukkar,” the article itself having got into Europe through the Arabian Mohammedans, who overran a great part of the world in the seventh, eighth and ninth cen- turies. According to Dr. Van Lipp- man, a Dutch writer; as a result of the Arab invasion of Persia sugar found its way into Arabia, whence again its culture was carried to Cyprus, Rhodes, Sicily and Egypt. In the last named country the preparation of sugar was greatly improved, and the Egyptian product became widely famous. From Egypt the industry spread alcng the northern coasts of Africa and so enter- ed Spain, where, about the year 1150, some fourteen refineries were in opera- tion. Columbus introduced sugar cane into the new world. - JUDGE UPHOLDS FEDERAL CORRUPT PRACTICES LAW Pittsburgh, Dec. 26.—Judge W. H. S.

LIQUOR BUYER IN “DRY” TOWN CLEARED Duluth, Dec. 26.—Harold Proven- | cher, convicted of purchasing liquor, in Thief River Falls, a ‘“dry town” under local option, was granted a! new trial in a supreme court order, reversing that of the Pennington county district court. Judge Oscar Hallam dissented. Provencher, a hotel employe, claim- ed that he purchased the liquor in good faith and as agent for a detec- tive who furnished the money. In this case, the supreme court gives the opinion that the purpose of the local option law follows the gen- eral policy of the liquor statutes; making the seller criminal and not | the buyer, and making the agent of the seller liable but not one acting in good faith for the buyer except in“ the case of a sale to a minor.
