Andrew Walle was a business call- er at Grand Forks, N. D., over Sun- day. Nels Olson returned on Monday morning from a visit with relatives and friends at Fargo, N. D., and Comstock, this state. Oscar Peterson, the hustling young son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Peterson ot this place, departed Monday morn- ing for Crookston, where he will take a course at the Northwest school, Jocated at that place under the man- agement of Prof. Selvig. A bunch of the young people at- tending the schdol at (Crokston boarded the train here Monday morn- ing and almost took complete posses- sion of one of the coaches. Holiday vyaction being over the young people were in a hurry to get back to their studies. C. A. Wagner, after spendiug a couple of weeks at Bemidji as re- dief operator, returned home Satur- day evening. He expects to be called into service again shortly. The buxom young ladies of Clear- ibrook will honor our young men with a grand Leap Year ball at the Peter- son hall here on Saturday, January 10. The best of music will be fur- nished by the Foss orchestra from Bagley. These young promoters have promised all who attend one of the best times of its kind ever given in our city, and it is expected that all lovers of the fantastic light steps will be present, be they young, inter- mediate or old, and especially the male species. Be there early in order to get in on the floor in time. The anuual meeting of the Norwe- gian Lutheran church will be he.a here on Friday, January 9, at the church. It will be an all day session and dinner will be served all members present at the church. Rev. H. M. ‘Herstad, the residing pastor, urges all members to be present, as it is a duty which no responsible member <can put aside and feel righ. after- -wards, when his presence and work may have been instrumental in pro- moting the welfare of his church and humanity. The annual meeting of the Clear- brook Commercial Club was held on Monday evening. Its members proved full of pep as ever. A line of work was proposed for the next year that if carried forth will put Clearbrook on the map as one of the most pro- gressive towns in this section of our state. Officers elected for the ensuing vear were: S. C. Sheets, president; Oscar Koxvold, secretary, and Carl W. Jensen, treasurer. The regular meet- ings after this will be ..... on the first Friday of each month, until fur- ther orders, at the Peterson hall. Miss Theresa Thompson left Tues- day evening for a visit with friends .at Gonvick. The annual business meeting of the stockholders of the First State bank was held here Tuesday, January 6.

Birds' lIsland Refuge. On the west coast of Newfoundland 'gtands an island, with perpendicalar rocky sides, rising nearly 400 feet out of the sefi. It is ahout three acres in aren at the top. It seems to have heen cleft from the mainland and is safely beyond reach of duck shot. Late in Aprll the guillemots gather in the sea around this island in hundreds of thousands; and some fine morning, when the snow has disappeared from the top, they rise in a compact body /flylng fully a thousand feet in the air, then lowering and circling for half an hour around and around the top of the island, darkening the ground with the shadow of their wings, then settling on the top and turning the white, lime- stained surface a sifining black. Once settled they will not leave the island n a body till the last of June, unless a snowstorm comes. Then they take to the sea again until the snow has welted from their nesting place. —And Love. Like a great poet, Nature produces ‘the greatest results with the simplest means. These are simply a sun flowers, water and love. Of course, if the spectator be without the last, the whole will present but a pitiful appearance; and, in that case, the sun 18 merely so many miles in diameter, the trees are good for fuel, the flowers are classified by stamens, and the water is simply wet.—Heine. American Legion Post Upposeés Heclamation Bill sENATOR FLETCHER of Florida read into the Congressional Record the other day resolutions adopted by Tampa post, No. 5, American Legion, which are substantially as follows: “Whereas various measures have been introduced in the congregs of the Unit ed States for the ald of the discharged soldier, satlor and marine, veterans of the late war; and, whereas, among such measures is H. R. 487, referred to as the Mondell bill, otherwise the pational soldier settlement act; and, whereas, such a measure will not bene- fit all soldiers, sailors and marines, and even under the most favorable circumstances it is limited to approxi- mately 80,000 out of 4,800,000; and, whereas, under the terms of said bill an initial capital of not less than $1,200 is required of each soldier, sailor and marine; and, whereas, sald bill is not confined to the public lands of the United States, but provides for ‘projects’ to be purchased in the several states, thus opening the way for fraud, reckless expenditures of public funds, and real estate grafting of all natures and kinds; and, whereas, a certain measure has been introduced in the congress of the United States providing for loans for the purpose of securing to the discharged soldier, sailor and marine, veterans of the late war, city or country homes, and in the sum of from $1,000 to $5,000 at 4 per cent interest and payable over 40 years of time; and, whereas, this in the judgment of this post of the American Legion is -the fairest and most equitable of all such measures, both to the soldier and tc the United States; therefore, be it “Resolved, That we condern and oppose H. R. 487, known as the natioual valdier settlement act. and that we favcr and acclaim this loan measure.” MORE THAN GREAT PAINTER Gustave Dore Is Declared to Have Been an Accomplished Player on the Violin. Gustave Dore (the painter) was said to be famous on the violin, and his claims to consideration were far from inconsiderable. He had acquired a val- uable instrument, on which he used to play Berlioz’s concertos with a really extraordinary facility and spirit. These superficial works were enough for his musical powers. The surprising thing about his execution was that he never worked at it. If he could not get a thing at once, he gave it up for good and all. We lived in the same quarter and visited each other frequently. As we almost never were of the same opinion abont anything, we had interminable arguments, entirely free from rancor, which we thoroughly enjoyed. I have seen him painting away on thirty can- || vases at the same time in his immense studio. Three seriously studied pic- tures would have been worth more. At heart this great, overgrown, jovial boy was melancholy and sensitive. He' died young of heart disease, aggra- vated by grief over the death of his mother, from whom he had never been separated. I dedicated a slight piece written for the violin to Dore. It would be ertirely unknown had not Johannes Wolf, the violinist of queens and empresses, done me the favor of placing it in his repertory and bringing his fine talent to its aid.—'“Anecdotes,” by Saint-Saens. AS TO ORiGIN OF WOMAN After the Biblical Story, Belief Held by Persians Is Easily the Most Poetical. A magazine writer conswnes con- siderable space in trying to prove that it is wrong to teach that woman was made from Adam’s rib. He says the proposition is ridiculous, and while it may bave been well enough to teach it in the dim and distant past, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves for sticking to the *“superstition.” If our own idea or belief of the orl- gin of woman is a superstition, then it is quite as good a superstition as other people have, says the Columbus Dispatch. For ours is not the only theory of the origin of woman. Many other people have many other theories or superstitions. The, Australian natives belleve that woman was once a toad—and that isn’t very nice. If it is true, however, it shows what a wonderful creature the toad was transformed into and we can rejoice thereat. Then the Laplanders believe that woman was once a rabbit, and since a rabbit 18 more likable than a toad, we prefer the Lapland superstition to the Aus trallan. The Japanese belleve that woman grew upon a tree—and that is getting along still better. The feathery bloe soms of the trees, with their color and their perfume, seem more nearly approaching the realm of womanhood than do rabbits or toads. But if ever we are compelled to give up our idea that woman was made from the rib of man, we are going to accept the Persian theory. That is by all odds the prettiest one, and the one we could more easily believe than any other. The Persians assert that woman fell frofo heaven.

The sergeant instructor was suspl- clous and angry. “Why aren’t you working out the sum—you've got a pen and paper, haven't you?” he de manded.

But in course of time he found that his “pupil” did know some- thing of the matter in hand—and pro- moted him. “You shall read out the sum to the rest,” he sald.—London Chronicle.

You probably know that a very large department store in Boston made a very important announcement a few months ago that those customers who desired to have an account and pay at end of thirty days, would be charged 50c extra for the privilege of the account. They claimed that the extra expense to conduct a charge, such as makmg out bills, postage, investigation, etc., aside from the factor of bad debts, made it necessary for them to charge a certain amount to all customers, in addition to the amount they paid for the merchandise. If this large department store, with its wonderful system, found it necessary to charge c’ustomers an extra, thereby acknowledging that if you Pay CASH You Pay Less, isn’t it reasonable to expect that you can'also buy for less at this store because this store sells only for cash? Think the matter over. And one more item of no .little importance, we do not\delivér, so the farmer has an advantage here, and that is he does not pay for the city fellow’s delivering.
