Autumn leaves and flowers were used in abundance in decorating the Presbyterian church last evening, where a reception was given.for Rev. and Mrs. Lester P. Warford, who have recently returned from a vaca- tion spent in the east. All the teach- ers of the public schools in the city, as well as the normal school, had been extended invitations and all were present with the exception of three. The reception was given by members of the congregation and about 200 persons attended. The pro- gram was given in the church audi- torium and included an address of welcome by E. D. Boyce, chairman of the committee of arrangements, to which Rev. Warford responded. Miss Ella Laqua sang a solo, Harold Dahl, playing the violin accompaniment and Miss Muriel McGee the organ ac- companiment. Kern Olson gave a vocal solo, Miss McGee acompanying him on the organ. Miss Josephine Parker and Miss Katheryn MacGreg- or gave readings. After the program refreshments were served in the base- ment dining room. MUSICAL TREAT. Several Bemidji persons are plan- ning on hearing Sousa’s band, which will appear in Grand Forks October 30. In speaking of this musical treat, the Grand Forks Herald says: “Over half of the members of Sousa’s band, which plays in Grand Forks October 30 under the auspices of the Grand Forks Municipal band, are men who formerly were with the band, entering the service of the army or navy, an’d have returned to the old organization, according to word re- ceived by Prof. E. A. Moses, director of the local band. Several of these men acted as band leaders in the army or navy, while others were chief musicians in larger bands. Sev- eral of the men were with Director Sousa in his Great Lakes Naval band. There are, altogether, 65 members in the band, excluding Prof. Sousa. Two lady soloists are also with the or- ganization, and several instrumental soloists. This year Sousa and his band are featuring Sousa’s composi- tions, among them the ‘‘American Wedding March,” ‘“The United States Field Artillery” march, and “Golden Star” march. This last was dedicat- ed to Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, who was killed in service in France. The band has been playing during the last few months, at Willow Grove park, Philadelphia, a big summer re- sort, at the Steel Pier at Atlantic' City, and at Coney Island and Luna’ Park, New York. They stop in Grand Forks for an evening concert while on their way to the Pacific coast, dur- ing the annual tour.” Pennllion Singing. Pennilion singing is quite common in Wales, and peculiar to the princl- pality. It consists of an instrument play- ing over a tune in strict time and re- peating it over and over again, while the singer or singers extemporize words to it in rhyme. The impromptu poetry must fit In with the music and is generally of an amusing character. The custom is quite common among the people, and the instrument used s their national imstrmment, the harp. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER KEEP A HOUSEHOLD BUDGET | THEY Practically Impossible to Run Home Without Employment of Good Business Methods. It must be admitted that business system is desirable in the. home, for the very good and simple reason that, manifestly you cannot carry on suc- cessfully any kind of business without more or less bookkeeping, writes' Carl Marshall in Thrift. But often you will hear some easy-going housekeeper say : “That's too much trouble; I have enough other things to do without bothering with accounts. much to live anyway, and keeping ac- counts won't make the amount any less.” Lazy or inefficient folk are seldom at a loss for self-justification of this sort. Some of us can remember the old- fashioned country storekeeper who {, used to spend most of his time sitting on a box whittling or gossiping with the loafers when he should have been studying his business. This cheerful soul held the same views as the slack housekeeper. But we do not see much more of this old-fashioned, happy-go-lucky country merchant. He has long ago been put out of business by his enter- prising competitor who learned the value of good bookkeeping. The answer to those who would shirk home account-keeping is simply this: You cannot plan your affairs with any certainty unless you know about them, and you cannot know about them unless you keep records of them. HIGHEST HONORS PAID POET Men of Every Walk in Life in Proces- sion That Followed Robert Burns to Grave. Robert Burns died at Dumfries, Thursday. July 21, 1796, at the age of 87. Sunday evening, July 24, the body was carried to the Trades’ hall, in the High street, and from there, on Monday, July 235, it was borne to the churchyard of St. Michael's. The poet was buried with military honors. Sol- diers lined the streets and a firing party, with arms reversed, marched first. The coffin was carried on the shoulders of the poet’s brother volun- teers. To the music of the “Dead March in Saul,” the long processlon walked down the High street of Dum- fries and along St. Michael streat to the churchyard. The soldiers who took part in the funeral were the Gentle- men, Volunteers of Dumfries, to which the poet belonged; the Fencible in- fantry of Angusshire and the regi- ment of cavalry of the Cinque Ports. The two latter bodles were at that time quartered in Dumfries, and of- fered their assistance. Among the junior officers of the Cinque Ports regiment was the Hon. Robert Bank Jenkinson, afterwards the second-earl of Liverpool and prime minister of Great Britain from 1812 to 1827. The principal inhabitants of Dumfries and the surrounding countryside walked In the procession and a vast concourse of people witnessed the funeral. “The Faery Queen.” As a work of art “The Faery Queen” at once astonishes us by the wonderful fertility and richness of the writer’s imagination, by the facil- ity with which he finds or makes lan- guage for his needs, and above all, by the singular music and sweetness of his v . The main theme seldom varies; it Is & noblr knight, fighting, overcoming. tempted. delivered; or a beautiful Iady plorted against, dis- tressed, rescued. The poet’s affluence of fancy and speech gives a new turn and color to each adventure. But be- sides that, under these conditions there must be monotony; the poet's art, admirable as it is, gives room for objections. There was loose- ness and carelessness, partly belonging to his age, partly his own. In the use of materials, nothing comes amiss to him. He had no scruples as a copy- ist. He took without ceremony any plece of old metal—word, story or im- age—which came to his hand, and threw it into the melting pot of his im- agination, to come out fused with his own materials, often transformed, but often unchanged. The effect was sometimes happy, but not always so. —Church. To Preserve China. Many a lover of fine china has been heartbroken to discover her choice din- ner or tea set lined with hairlike cracks. Hot tea or chocolate poured into dainty cups cracks them instantly. A Chinese merchant gave this bit of information when a rare tea set was purchdsed from him. “Before using delicate china place it in a pan of cold water. Let it come gradually to the boil and allow the china to remain in the water till cold.” This tempers the china, and it is capable of with- standing the sudden expansion caused by the heat. There is no need of re- peating the treatment for a long time.” Flower Show Old Institution. The flower shows of English villages have an’' ancient origin, though few people may ever stop to give the mat- ter a thought. The ancestry of the floral fete reaches back to the days of Ovid, the poet. As for when flower shows were first held in England, it cannot be certafnly known, but it is a fact that if they did not actually in- troduce them, the worsted manufac- turers from Flanders, fleeing the wrath of Philip and Alva, in 15767, gave a fillip to the practice. To these peo- ple English gardens of Elizabeth's time owed such favorites as the gilly- flower and the carnation. . Beuldes‘l what's the use? It costs you just so PAGE THREE... WHERE BEDS ARE UNKNOWN Residents of Merida, Yucatan, Enjoy Repose in Hammocks Which May Be Slung Anywhere. ARE TRUE ROOSEVELTS Beltrami County —Travelers— In Merida, Yucatan, the majority of the people do not use beds, in fact very few of them have even seen one. They sleep in hammocks, which are swung across the rooms at night and with no fuss of bedmaking; the per- son just goes to bed and is gently rocked to sleep by any passing breeze. The climate is so hot that It is only during the months of January and February that a light sheet may be required as covering. These hammocks are usually made :y the mother of the family, writes {lly deG.

The largest Blble in existence is in the royal library at Stockholm. The covers are made of solid planks, four . inches thick, and the pages measure & yard in length. It is estimated that 100 asses’ skins must have been used to furnish the 300 parchment leaves of this colossal book. It is considered priceless. A well-to-do New Yorker s the proud possessor of a manuscript Bible written by his ounly son, a cripple. He could only work about two hours a day, so he took over two years to complete his task. It does not contain a single error or slip, for if error or slip occurred the youth discarded the whole page. The verses and headings are all in red ink, and the whole i3 beautifully written. In a house in Grafton street, London, there is a shorthand Bible which was written at least two centuries before Pitmam>was born. It was written by’ an apprentice in the day of James II, when to possess a ‘“common” or “garden” Bible was rather dangerous. An American lady cherishes a Bible probably as old as the one written In shorthand, which an ancestress baked in a loaf of bread when a house- to-house search was being made for stray copies of the scriptures. The sol- dlers came to search the house, but it is not a matter of wonder that they failled to find the book, which now, looking pretty old, is the lady's chief treasure. = 2= 0 SO The Man of Might| at the ELKO Also showing ‘The Oily Scoundrel’ A Two-Part Keystone Comedy at the e Subscribe for Tne Dailly Pioneer Benents of Good Hoaas.
