Henrionnet returned this morning from a six months’ visit in Bend and Portland, Ore.; San Francisco and Los Angeles, Calif. ‘While in Bend, Mrs. Henrionnet was the guest of her son, Rolland Hen- rionnet, formerly in the jewelry busi- ness in Bemidji, and now engaged in the same line of business in that city. In Los Angeles she visited her daugh- ter, Ruby, and other relatives and friends. Mrs. Henrionnet has been in the millinery business in Bemidji for twelve years, but sold out to Mrs. J. J. McDowell just before leaving for the west. Mrs. Henrionnet stated this morning that although the west is beautiful and has a delightful cli- mate, it seems good to get back to Minnesota and see the snow and a real winter. LILLIAN NORDICA First American Singer to Sing Lohengrin In the little farm of Farmington, Maine, Lillian Norton was born. La- ter she became known to the world as Madame Lillian Nordica. She studied at the Boston Comservatory of Music, and later in Italy, where her debut at Brescia in “La Tra- viata” brought her contracts for the Imperial Opera at St. Petersburg and Paris. She was the first American prima donna to sing Wagnerian roles at Bayreuth, the musical shrine of the great composer. She rendered Elsa in “Lohengrin” in 1894. "When the accompanist struck the opening chords of Handel’'s ‘‘Angels Ever Bright and Fair,” the song that com- manded the hesrt power of singer and composer, the song that is sung again and again to enraptured audit- ors, it was a signal for the audience to settle down for a rare treat. Both the Bridal Chorus from ‘‘Lo- hengrin”’ and Handel’s “Angels Ever Bright and Fair” are given in “Heart Songs’’ now being almost given away by this paper to its readers.

Mur- phy of Wheaton, who is a candidate for president of the Minnesota State Agricultural society, is elected, there will be an additional opening on the governing board, it was pointed out today at the annual meeting in the city hall. The places already open are those of George Atchison of Mankato, Mr. Murphy’s opponent for president, and W. W. Sivright of Hutchinson. Mike Holm of Roseau, elected in December to fill the unexpired term of Secre- tary Thomas H. Canfield, will be elected to succeed himself. GRAFT CASES AGAINST CHICAGO POLICE COMPLETE Chicago, Jan. 12.—The case of the state against Charles C. Healy, chief of police of Chicago, arrested on charges of bribery, conspiracy ‘and extortion is complete, Maclay Hoyne, attorney, who has been investigating the alleged police graft ring, an- nounced today. Mr. Hoyne's announcement was made after he had examined scores of denizens of the underworld and had announced the confession of four men, held as leaders in the manipu- lations of the alleged ring. According to Mr. Hoyne, Police Lieutenant Augustus M. White, Thomas Costello, named as the g between; Thomas Newbold and Wil- liam Weinstein, owners of question- able hotels, who are said to have been implicated in paying money to have police officers transferred, have con- fessed. Meanwhile the appointment of Herman F. Schuettler, deputy su- perintendent of police, as chief, to succeed Healey, was before the city! council for confirmation, the appoint- ment having been announced by Mayor Thompson last night. The mayor’s letter of appointment direct- ed Schuettler to “clean out immedi- ately the corruption in all ranks of the department.” WIDOW APPEARS TO BID $200 FOR THIS HUSBAND Oakland, Cal., Jan. 12.—William Mortimer, who offered to sell him- self for $200, may be sold before morning. He will meet a widow in San Francisco, who says she wants to look him over with a view of bid- ding on him. “I have no idea who she is,” said Mortimer, ‘“‘and she has pledged me to secrecy. But I will accept any terms she makes, provided I receive the $200 in advanse so I can settle a debt of honor. I believe she is sin- TO SCATTER ASHES SUNDAY. San Jose, Cal.,, Jan. 12.—Some of the ashes of Joseph Hillstrom, ex- ecuted for murder in Salt Lake City, Utah, more than & year ago, will be scattered here at a public meeting in St. James park next Sunday, it was announced yesterday. The meeting will be under the auspices of the Industrial Workers of the World. Nils Madison, secretary of the lo- cal I. W. W. Branch, has also re- ceived some of the ashes purporting to be a portion of Hillstrom’s, which will also be scattered at some point near Bemidji. HE same old price for the same old favorite.

The Limousine Look. Perhaps it is hypercritical of us. Riding in a limousine is a magnificent and awful thing, and how should any . plain mortal be expected to endure it without amendment to his sounl? Still, from our sidewalk, we do obser> and protest. Can no human being, even though to the limousine born, learn to ride in a closed car and avoid the clos- ed face, that blank, top lofty aloofness of expression so alien to normal Amer- ican worry and cheerfulness? The limousine look attacks any-hap- py, laughing debutante or bank presi- dent the instant the door slams and they. sink back in what is technically known in motorear literature as “‘mila- di’'s drawing rocm on wheels.” It comes on or off the face very much as do the detachable tops that convert an ordinary touring car of commerce into a miniature palace fit to stand before the blazing glory of an opera house with uniformed attendant handing in a very charming and expensive wife.— New York Tribune, A Japanese Composing Room. The most interesting department of a Japanese printing plant is the compos- ing room. Great cases of type of all sizes extend the whole length of the mammoth room. As the Chinese and Japanese characters used in a printing office run far into the tens of thou- sands, the life of the compositor must be a continual search for the letter he desires to use. ‘The compositors werq scuffling around the aisles of the room hunting for these characters and all singing at the tops of their voices, which apparently caus- ed them to forget the terrors of their work. There seemed to be hundreds of them, and the din was deafening. After the proof is finally corrected the forms are made up, quite as they are in an American newspaper office, stereotyped and sent down to big cylin- der presses.—Archie Bell in World Out- look, Harriman Told Him. Harriman had an almost supernat- ural instinct for knowing what was going on and who was doing it in the mysteries of stock manipulation. Once when Southern Pacific had been going up fast, Harriman and various bank- ing houses buying in concert, he called up on the telephone one of his private brokers. “Somebody is selling,” he said. “Yes, sir,” was the answer. “Well, hand the market 25,000 for me.” Im- mediately he called up the head of a banking firm much interested in the market. “Who’s selling Southern Pa- cific?” he asked. *I don’t know. We haven’t been able to find out,” was the answer. “I'll tell you,” snapped Har- riman; “it’s your house.” And he cut off the connection before any reply to him could be made.—Exchange. Inconsistent. “And you won't buy that antique chair I got from you ten years ago?’ “N6; it would be of little use to me in its present condition.” ' “What do you taean?

Little Lydia had been given a new ring for her birthday, which none of the guests at the dinner table had no- ticed. = Finally, being unable to stand the obscurity any longer, she remark- ed, “Oh, dear, I'm 80 warm in my new ring!”"—Exchange.

Fooling the Enemy. Long Ben, a stage driver in the southwest with a soft voice and a gen- tle disposition, but with several notch- es on the handle of his revolver, is not given to seeking trouble. Not very long ago he brought in a 200 pound salesman and, the roads being unusually rough, landed both him and his trunk in rather bad repair. The more the traveling man thought of it the madder he got, and that night, when he discovered how his trunk had been wrecked, his wrath boiled over, and he announced that in the morning he would beat that stage driver into unconscious ugliness. He got up early and paced the office of the hotel, await- ing the arrival of Long Ben. One of the stage driver’s friends slip- ped over to the office of the livery sta- ble, where the latter slept, and tipped him off. “Say, Ben, that fire eating pickle salesman you brought in last night is over there laying for you and is going to knock your alleged head off as soon as you go to breakfast.” Rubbing his cheek speculatively, he said in his peculiarly mild drawl: “I'll just fool that guy. I won't go to breakfast!”—Saturday Evening Post. Futility of Arguments. As no men are created equal, all ar- guments, if indulged in, must be car- ried on either with superior persons or inferior persons. Viewed in this way, the utter futility of all arguments be- comes apparent at once. First, it is futile, of course, to carry on an argument with a superior per- son, because, being superior, he will have such complete contempt for your opinions that he either will not listen to you at all or else he will listen with a patronizing smile and immediately dismniss from his mind what you have to say as not worth consideration. It is easily futile to argue with an inferior person, for if you have any- thing to argue about worth the time of a man of your standing and mental capacity, then it is absurd to waste talk upon ap inferior being who will not be able to appreciate it. Thus are disputatious people isolated from the world, and there is no help for it— Life. Japanese Homes. “Ohe last thing I should like to men- tion,” said the Japanese editor, “and that is our so called pride. I can re- celve you here at this club as man to man, and we can talk freely. But the ordinary Japanese home is not fitted for intercourse with foreigners. Our kitchens cannot prepare foreign food Our mattings are marred by the use of tables and chairs. Our wives are not accustomed to meeting strangers aund do not speak foreign languages. Vis itors are compelled to take off their shoes, and, if they have holes in thei.’ socks, that is embarrassing for them. Under such conditions intercourse has been in the past rather difficul:. We do not like to accept hospitality with- out being able to reciprocate. Reci- procity is a national trait of the Japa- nese. We respond -very quickly to friendship or suspicion.” — Maynard Owen Williams in Christian Herald. Pride of a Musician. Viottl, the famous French musician of the eighteenth century, had an equal contempt for royalty and an exagger- ated opinion of himself, as the follow- ing story shows: One day he was sum- moned to Versailles to play before Ma- rie Antoinette and the court. The per- formance had begun, the opening bars of his favorite solo commanded breath- less attention, when a cry was heard— “Place for Mgr. the Comte d’Artois!™ At the sound Viotti immediately ceased playing. cast an indignant glance at his audience, placed his vio- lin under his arm and walked out of the place. : Harmless Humbugs. *“Do you really think the public likes to be humbugged?” asked the man of many anxieties. “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum. “when the humbug is pretty and harm- less. But they resent the kind that buzzes around waiting for a chance to sting ’em.”—Washington Star. The Plain People. “I put my faith in the wisdom of the plain people,” said the statesman. “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum. ‘“The wisdom of the plain people is all right. The only thing I fear is that some of them are getting so that they know too much.”—Washington Star. Kind Mother. Mrs. O'Brien—An’ I see yez takin’ in washin’ ag’in, Mrs. O’Flannigan?

Winchcombe St. Peter, in Gloucester- shire, began the cultivation of tobacco in England toward the end of the six- teenth century, and the inhabitants are said to have derived considerable profit from it until the trade was placed un- der restrictions. An entry in Pepys’ Diary on Sept. 19, 1667, concerning the coming of a cousin of his to town pro- ceeds: “She tells me how the life gnard which we thought a little while since was sent down into the country about some insurrection was sent to Winch- combe to spoil the tobacco there, which, it seems, the people there do plant con- trary to law and have always donme and still been under force and danger of having it spoiied, as it hath been oftentimes. and yet they will continue to plant it. The place, she says, is a miserable poor place.”—London Globe. Oh, bow bitter a thing 1t 18 to-look into havpiness through another man’s eves!—*“As You Like It.” IL 7.

Flight of a Swarm of Mateors. : A swarm of meteors that appeared on Feb. 9, 1913, was regarded at the time as very remarkable on account of the great distance it was traced in the earth’s atmogphere. It was first seen in Ssskatchewan, western Canada, and seemed to be traveling southeasterly, as it was algo reported from Bermuda. }. From the additional records supp: by seamen- W, F. Denning, the authority on meteors, has concluded that it continued in view during at] least 5,500 miles of its flight. As the visible stream-could at no time have been more than about 100 miles high, j- it must have followed the earth’s curyature, and the curious idea hag been advanced by Garvin J. Burns that it was really captured by the earth as a group of infinitestimal satellites. The meteors may thus have passed around the globe several times before reach- ing the surface. It is supposed that the orbit of the stream nearly coincid- ed with that of the earth and that con- sequently the velocity of fall through our atmosphere was small. ] Land of Borrowed Delights. A large part of the beauty of the verdure .and forest of Italy that at- tracts the visitor's attention was un- known in the olden times and is not properly Italian at all, but imported. The favored groves of orange and lem-| on, with their golden fruit glinting among the rich and sappy foliage, breathe of the Levant and the dark skinned Saracenic invaders from the)| east. The cactus, with its prickly pear fruit, called the “Indian fig,” and the aloe came straight from Mexico on the| heels of the Spanish adventurings into the unknown in the sixteenth century. So did the American corn or maize. Even the eucalyptus is an importation, a modern one, and the great groves of| chestnuts that clothe the shaggy moun-| tainsides so verdantly and give occu-| pation to so many venders of the hot and pasty boiled nut are believed not to be native.—National Geographic| Magazine. Books on a Shelf. Books are frequently ruined through carelessness. This is less in the han- dling often than upon the shelves. Books should not be packed tightly on ashelf. It ruins the back and causes them to tear loose with the strain of| getting in and out. Often it forces the, leaves to sag to the shelf when pushed unduly. It is just as bad for books to| be too loose on a shelf, as they warp, and the spreading leaves encourage dust. A bookcase with the contents at every angle is not a pleasant| sight. There are some housekeepers who think a yearly dusting of the books at housecleaning time sufficient. This is bad enough when they are kept under glass. When on open shelves it means ruin to valuable books. It takes a little longer to dust the backs and tops of books on each| shelf every day. Use a soft cheese- cloth or silk duster and shake it fre- quently. The Eternal. There must be something beyond man in this world.
