e e “A La Mondclnohn" Somebody sent the editor of the| Poketown Gazette a few bottles of | home brew. The same day-he re- ceived for publication a wedding an- nouncement and.a notice of an auc- tion sale. ‘Here arq the results: “Wm. Smith and Miss Lucy Ander- son were disposed’of at public auc- tion at my farm one mile east of a beautiful cluster breast and two whites calves, before a background of farm implements too numerous to mention in the pres- ence of about seventy guests, includ- ing two milch cows, six mules and one bob sled.

Z “In My Bnby 's Arms” A prospective purchaser is said to' have gone into a Bemidji music store and inquired as to the price of phonograph records. The conver- sation with the lady clerk was some- thing like this: | “What records have you got, and! how much are they?” “Well, let's see, I can give. you “Smiles” for fifty cents. And then I have “Kisses” for seventy-five cents, and for one dollar, “You'd Be Surprised.” ! We wondow how much she would | ask for “Kiss Me Again.” But then, | most of the records are two-faced, anyway. | Aok Picturesk The above snapshot picture shows where Moses was when the lights went out.

The lady did him one bet- ter and without thought asked, “Why don’t you try ‘Evory Flakes.” ” LA /' On the Dotted Line Considerable curiosity is connect-' ed with the fact that seven men in Bemidji each received one vote for ‘mayor at the city election just past. We venture to say that each voted - for himself, or else thought he had to sign his flame to the ballot and did so on the first blank line he saw.

A special house | is=set aside for it, and all the women of the tribe spend part of their time in making beer from millet seed, White men who have tasted it de- clare it to be a first-rate drink of fime flavor and heady results, The beer is kept in enormous jars, and to cach jar Is attached a number of #ourd dippers. The beer is free to anyone or everyone, the only re- striction belng that it be drunk in the brewery and not with meals. In spite of this freedom the tribe merh- bers seldom get drunk. To make sure their women will stay on as brew-masters and not go running/, off with other men from nearby (ribes, the girls are taken when ten or twelve years old and laid on the ground while # sharp stone is used to pry and knock out the four upper and lower inclsors.

The Alces Machlis or elk, one va- rlety of which with palmated antlers, found in North America, is commonly known as the moowe, lives in the northern portions of both the enstern and western hemispheres. There 1s a difference, many naturalists ¢laim, be- tween the Kuropean and American species, although they approach each other in general appearance in certain cases. To be exactly precise, it would not be perfectly correct to say that what we know as the moose is found In Scandinavia, aithough he has very near relatives there. Success-Is Earned. There IS no easy way to success. The men who get there earn thelr passage. pay the price, Truisms? Platitudes? Granted. But the fact remains. Suc- cess means long hours of labor and little sleep while one is on the way. It means tired eyes and the ache of | muscles, struggle to the point of ut- ter exhaustion, patience and unflag- ging zeal, and a determination that never wavers. It means a perennial refusal to be satisfied with the achieve- ment of today, and a determination to gencrate a little more steam to- morrow.—Country Gentleman, | Too Much Strain, Edward was told to remain after school and sit quietly for ten minutes and think.

The invention was | not far to seek. Treasure came to be deposited for safety in the temples, where it .was consecrated to the care | of the divinity by being impressed with a badge or symbol. The sacred sym- \bol being accepted as guarantee of | value, the pleces of metal so impgssed | found easy circulation. The eurliest Lydian coins extant, deriving, probably from the reign of Gyges (about 700 B. (%), are bean-shaped lumps of native Lydian gold, blenched . with silver. lach coin bears on its obverse the figure of & lion and on its reverse the | impress of the nail-head serving to keep the metal in place, while being struck. From Lydia the one-sided coin spread throughout the coasts and is- lands of the Aegean sea, €ach city is- suing coins bearing the symbbl of its divinity. In Greece the earliest cqins of silver, with the figure of the ‘tor- toise on the obverse, are said to have ! been struck by Pheidon of Argos. To Solon, about 590 B. C,, is ascribed the introduction into Athens of the tetra- drachm, on its obverse the head of Athene, on its reverse an owl. Sparta enjoyed all to itself the luxury of a purely iron ceinage.

To these original diversities may be reduced all those impertinent classifi- cations of Gothic and Celtic tribes, white men, black men, red men. All the dwellers upon the earth, Par- thians, Medes and Elaniites, flock hith- er and do fall in naturally with one or the other distinction. The infinite superiority of the former, which 1 choose to designate as the great race, is discernible in figure, port and a certain Instinctive sovereignty. The Ihtter are born degraded.

Of thousands of .fires only a frac- tion are due to lightning and unpre- ventible accident, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington, which adds that the great majority of the fires that are constantly’enlarg- ing our deserts of barren sand, scrub oak, chaparral and briers, are due to the carelessness of human beings—due, not only to-the careléssness of persons who are directly responsible for the fires, but to the indifference of the great body of people whose composite opinion permits the campers, the farmers, the railroads, and others to start and leave or lose control of the fires that do the damage.

The real cure for the “blues” lies in prevention by removing causes.

OPPONENT OF 'nvEs; | Objection Made “by English Quak ¥ V{L&l That They Led to Con: . cealment of Dirt. John Woolman, the Quaker, refused {to wear any, clothing that had been | |dved, He carrled his scryples so far | that he wore a: hat ‘that was-of the natural color; of the.fur, thereby pre- senting, as one of his biographers re- marks, the aspect of a sort of Robin- son Crusoe. One;of John Woolman's objections to dyes was that they con- cealed dirt. Traveling often in wet | weather through narrow streets, he was frequently distressed by various impurities—especially when his jour- Jneys took him to places where cloth {had been dyed, so that at sundry times he had to “walk over ground where much of their dyestuffs has drained away.” This produced in his (mind a great longing “that people, !might come into cleanness of spirit, cleanness of person and cleanness |about their houses and garments.” As a further reason against dyes he ar- gued that the spirit that would hide dirt leads to the concealment of any- thing that may be materially or mor- ally disagreeable, and is therefore contrary to sincerity. He contended that if the money spent on dyeing were i devoted to the promotion of cleanliness much good in every way would result. Carrier Pigeons in Warfare, The use of carrier pigeons is very, ancient in the Orient and was brought to the attention of Europe at the time of the First crusade, when the Sara- cens were found to have the birds in | regular use for the conveyance of in- formation. The Christian commanders cept this plf'eyn post on several occa- others caught the tired The (\WMohammedan sovereign Nureddin used carrier pigeons for welding together the scattered parts of his empire. Al- though the use continued, it was not until the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 that plgeons were again of conspicu- jous public service. During the siege of Paris constant communication was jand the outside world by means of ~the carrier birds, Subsequently the German, French and -ether European governments-established regular pigeon corps and thousands of birds were ! tralned and kept for use as messen- | Finger Prints of Everyone. | The Argentines have carried the use | | of finger prints further than perhnps away under the nul ten fingers of the applicant are filed ber inscribed on his “libreto” (identification papers— every citizen of’ Buenos Aires has a booklet of identification), and where courteous attendants bring him into contact” with the lavatory facilities which he requires before again dis- playing his hands o a pulchrlmdluous public. o Thursday (Thor's Day).

Siamese fishermen do most of their fishing by means of what is known as a ghost boat. This, explains the De- troit News, consists of a long board, painted white, and arranged in posi- tion in the water. The top must net be too high above the surface of the | whter for the fish it is desired to cap- ture to leap over. When in position the ghost resembles very much the white side of a boat or punt. The fish, seeing this white board, become frightened, and in fear they leap over the board. At the back of the board, however, nets are arranged in such a position that those fish that suceeed | in leaping the board land in the pets and are caught. The amount of fish caught by the employment of ghost poats is very large indeed, and the method has the advantage of prévent- ing the smaller fry from getting in- to the nets, as they are unable to leap over the board.
