FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1920 EVENTS THAT MADE HISTORY Anniversaries of Independence Declare ation and Landing of the Pil- grims Are Both Near. Qur country approaches two netable dates In its history. Philadelphians have already begun to talk about a great international celebration for 1926 to commemorate the one hundred and fiftieth anniver- sary of independence. But next year comes a still more historic birthday. It will be 300 years next November since the pilgrims land- ed in America, writes “Girard” in the Philadelphia Press. People refer constantly to them as the “Pilgrim Fathers,” but as Roland Usher, in his book points out, “Fa- thers” is scarcely a justified title. Of the 102 persons who came over in the Mayflower, only nine had reached forty years of age. But two of them were fifty. . Thirty-nine were children and there ‘were 19 grownup women, one of whom was unmarried. As there were 25 bachelors on board the Mayflower, that lone maiden prohably was never a wallflower. The three most famous characters, Bradford, Allen and Miles Standish, were all young fellows, aged respec- tively thirty-one, twenty-one and thir ty-six. One of the most fatal epidemics on record smote that little colony and in four months 44 of the 102 pilgrims were dead. It was a disease akin to tuberculosis. MADE BOAT FROM SIDE CAR Enthusiastic Duck Hunter Found Val. uable Use for His Motorcycle Attachment. On the opening day of the duck sea- son at Baldwin Lake, Cal, last fall, & .strange craft was sighted in the ell- grass of the shooting grounds. Its occupant was known to have ridden a motorcycle in more than 150 miles of mountain and desert road, and then to have been so unfortunate as to find all the boats gone. When he came in that night with his limit of birds, it was seen that he had made a queer but efiPlent duck boat out of his motorcycle side car. ‘Wood plugs closed the bolt holes where it was removed from the frame, and a can of pitch, judiciously applied, sealed all possible leaks. Rock ballast of some sixty pounds steadied ' the somewhat cranky craft, and its in- conspicuousness aided the ingenious sportsman in securing an unusual bag of birds. So well pleased was he with the adventure that now he contem- plates constructing a real combina- tion side car and boat.—Mechanics Magazine. Reasonable Expectation. “Ah, ‘how do you do, sir?? saluted the suave salesman of enlarged crayon portraits, as the householder opened the door. “I am offering—My stars! Is that revolver loaded ? “I reckon,” replied Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. “Leastways, twas, the last time I noticed.” “Heavens and earth, man! What do you suppose will happen if you per- mit that little child to continue to amuse himself with the weapon?” “He’ll proba’'ly break the hammer off’n it on one of the other children’s heads. I've told 'em a time or two to quit letting him hrve it, but you know baw children is”—Kansas City Star. Haye Earned Place in History. They failed to get overseas as a unit In the recent world conflict, but the famous Hell-for-Lether Kort Garrys, who charged into the blue at Cambral, the Strathcona horse, the Royal Ca- nadian dragoons and the Canadian Mounted rifies were filled with rank- ers who had worn the red tunic of-the old Royal Northwest Mounted Police. The police have not been empire- builders, but they have smoothed the road for empire and kept it smooth. Western Canada is western Canada today largely because of them. Though the old name under which they won fame and gl@éry is now num- bered with forgotten yesterdays, it will live forever in the history of the Canadian west as a symbol of effici- ency, loyalty. heroism and law fear- lessly enforced. SUFFERED SINCE HE WAS A CHILD Was Unable to Work When He Began Taking Tanlac— Well and Strong, Now 0 “I had taken but a few doses of Tanlac when I knew I had at last found the medicine I had been look- ing for,” said Joe. Kroiss, an em- ployee of Swift & Co’s. St. Paul Plant, who resides at 466 Van Buren Street, St. Paul, Minn., recently. Continuing he said: “I have suffered more or less with stomach trouble since childhood, and for the past twelve years there hasn’t been a month that I haven’t lost from two days to two weeks from work on account of it. My trouble would come to me by spells—one day feel- ing fine and able to eat anything I wanted without any apparent bad ,affects and the next day I would be down in bed and unable to refain a thing, not even a glass of water, on my stomach and I would stay in that condition for two or three days or maybe weeks before I could get enough strenth to be up and about again. I would suffer with terrible headaches that would nearly drive me wild, and I would break out all over with perspiration followed by sever chill and fever. I also had been suffering with pains across the small of my back for the past few months, that were so bad I could hardly stoop over. I was in a terri- ble weak and run-down condition all the time, and although I tried to work when I could get about at all, I. was hardly able to work at any time. No one seemed to understand my case and it was a puzzle to every- body. “My wife had a lady friend who had been greatly benefited by’ Tan- lac and she suggested I give it a trial, so I got a bottle and began taking it, and before I had finished this bottle the pain in the small of my back had entirely left me, and in two days I was back at work and I h.aven't lost a day since. Up to this time T have only taken four bottles, but I have a splendid appetite and can eat anything I want without hav- ing a particle of trouble with my stomach. I am regaining my strength and feel full of energy all the time and can do a hard day’s work without its tiring me more than natural. I have never been able to sleep like I do now since I was a child, and it takgs the alarm clock to wake me up. I will praise Tanlac as long as I live for the good it has done me.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, in Baudette by J. Williams and in Thorhult by P. M. Swanson. 5’ The You of one here; many others by Hart Schaffner Our Gaurantee is back of you Our guarantee of sat- isfaction protecis you on evéry purchase you make here; it assures you the very best cloth- ing to be had; a perfect fit; long wear; live styles like the the one shown here stylish belters see the back view & Marx If you want the livest styles and best values in town, we're ready B.
