You’ve all heard of the Johnstown flood, which occurred several years ago in Pennsylvania. Johnstown, nestling in the valley of the moun- tains with its water supply in a huge reservoir high upon a mountain side; how a seam in the immense iron tank was discovered spreading one night by & man named John Smith; how he raced madly down the mountain and through the little ecity shouting the alarm; how the inhabitants roused from their slumbers rushed to the mountain sides and barely es- caped the torrent of water as it burst the reservoir and swept down into the valley and through the town and with not a life lost, and how Smith became a hero. ‘Well, one day Smith died and went to Heaven. As he applied to St. Peter for admittance, St. Peter asked the newcomer who he was and Smith told him. “Come right in,” said St. Peter, and Smith entered. Smith hadn’t been in Heaven long before he commenced telling his new acquaintances who he was and what he had done in the Johnstown flood and what a hero he had been on earth. He never lost an opportunity to tell his story and brag about it, but there seemed to be a certain fel- low who didn’t have much use for Smith and never paid any attention when Smith was recounting his ad- ventures in the Johnstown flood, and Smith noticed it. One day Smith happened to be passing a group in which this fel- low was and stopped and commenced to tell his story. The man turned up his nose and sauntered away and this made Smith mad. He hunted up St. Peter and said: “See here, Pete, there’s a guy around here that makes me tired and TI'm getting good and sore at him. Every time I start to tell who I am and what I did in the Johnstown flood he turns up his nose and walks away and he’s got to cut it out.” “Who isl he?”” asked St. Peter. “Don’t know,” replied Smith. “‘Show him to me,” said St. Peter, and away they went. After wandering along the golden streets awhile Smith suddenly stop- ped and pointing exclaimed, ‘“There he is!” St. Peter looked in the direction Smith pointed. ‘““Who, that fellow sitting on that diamond rock over there?” s “That’s him—the little dried up specimen,” snorted Smith. “0, that’s Noah,” explained St. Peter. There are some persons in Bemidji who are inclined to look at the Com- mercial club in about the same light that Smith looked at Noah. The thug who assaulted William Colgrove, a one-armed man, with an iron bar Wednesday evening, cer- tainly was a “brave” man. But why take such a chance when he could have waited until the one-armed victim was asleep and then sneaked up and hit him with a hammer. It would have shown much more cour- age. A man in Duluth was fined $7 because he dragged a cow by a rope around its nmeck behind his bobsled. The cow was unable to walk on the slippery streets. What the judge should have done was to send the human brute to ninety days in a bakery with a muzzle on. it Did you realize, Mr. Moneyed man, that there is a great scarcity of small modern cottages in Be- midji? That is, cottages desirably located and at reasonable remt to first class tenants? Fact, just the same. . That toboggan being erected by the Carnival association at Tenth street on the lake isn’t the only toboggan that’s going to be in use in Bemidji one of these gladsome days. Universal military training is sim- ply universal defense of the univer- sal home. Then why, pray, should only a few be expected to do the work for the many? | The community Christmas tree has been leveled. It served its purpose and inaugurated the custom for Be- midji. All honor to that humble shaft of green. We have often seen pictures of how they look in advertisements but we never saw a picture of how they look hanging on the line. Did you? g e — Did you ever stop to cogitate that Charles M. Schwab, the king of the war munitions makers, is from Beth- lehem—Pennsylvania. The trouble with some political machines™ is the whizz pin on the shin gig is loose. But what we intended to say was, made your resolutions yet? Neither have we.
