A SWELL ‘TG N ME COUNTRM Twefitieth Century LA Take Another Glance Here The dress of Japanese women is regulated by their age and condition. One can tell at a glance, if one knows the rules, whether any wom- an is married or single, and how old she is. The dress of American women is 3 said: “This cow will be fresh in}: about a week. If'it is a heifer calf,|: I'll take it in place of the other $150. Wednesday afternoon two fine heifer calves arrived. Now Mr. Sathre wants to know if ke is en- titled to get the cow for nothing. Some buy calves, some sell ’em, while others have calves thrust upon them. Take our advice, Mr. Sathre, and keep the calf. —No Bull About That— Hibernian Hyperbole. In one of our New England sum- mer resorts lives, during the summér, a family having four small children of assorted sizes, and several dogs. In the employ of the household is an Irish mald whose duties include keep- Ing the living rooms of the house In order. Early in the season the streets of the village are trented to a coat of tar, a proceeding attended by much tracking about of ‘the dogs. Nora's dis- tress of mind, after one of these ex- periences, Is great, for she is a clean- 1y soul who has the appearance of her regulated by the husband’s or fath- er's pocketbook. If the pocketbook is short, we imagine that is the rea- son why the dresses are short. —But It Ain’t!— Are You Superstitious? In Mexico no sensible girl would consent to be married on a Tuesday, as that is believed to be the unluck- iest day of the week for weddings. (Note: Not the unlucky day, but THIS TIME LAST YEAR Brooklyn traded Jeff Pfeffer to St. the unluckiest.) June brides should remember that, according to ancignt supersti- tion, it is unlucky for a bride to choose bridemaids ‘'who are not younger than herself. On going to be married, a bride must, if an unlucky.omen is to be i domain much at heart. When the. un- tidiness was at Its worst one day she went In search of her mistress and complained : “I glve you me wor'rd, Mrs. Brown, that fer ivery wanst the boys and thim ‘dogs ‘has gone out of this house this day they've come in twenty-five Louis for Janvrin and Schupp. The Giants scored seven runs in the tenth inning and beat the Cubs. The Red Sox scored sevén stolen ‘bases off the Tigers." The Athletics scored five runs in the seventh off Bagby and beat the averted, sit facing front in the car- Indians, ‘times 1 riage. On returning she takes the S opposite seat. If anyone is to believe all these things, then it’s no wonder that the divorce courts . are working over- time. Doyle Made Good as Detective. Somehody recalls Sir Conan Doyle's activitles as a detective back in 1807 when he applied the Sherlock Holmes metliods to un English criminal case and succeeded in bringing about the release of an apparently innocent man. That was the Edjali affalr, which was widely exploited in the English news- papers o4 the time. Kdjali, the son of a Parree and an Englishwoman, was accused of wantonly maiming animals. The presecution made out a strong case against him. It was alleged that on a cértain dark night he went to a field near his home and there bru- tully mutilated a horse. Sir Arthur Conon Doyle became convinced of hig Inpocence, und succeeded in proving begond a doubt that the mearsighted- ness of the prisoner was of 80 extreme a auture that he would have been un- able to find the fleld, let alone the horte, Chinese Ancestor Worship. I China almost every family has, in the main hall of the house, its “an- vetiral shrine” wherein areé arranged the ancestral tablets. These tablets are meve of wood or stone or marble, ac- cording’ to the financlal circumstances of the family, and inscribed théreon are the names, titles, dates of birth and death of deceased ascendants and the namés and degrées of relationship ot their nearest living descendants, Twice a year, on the birthday and death-day of the departed, ceremonies, congisting chiefly of obelsances before the tablets, are held. The use of the tablet as an object of reverence is not due to the belief that the spirit-of the departed resides in it, but rather that it 1s a symbol to be remembered and respected by the living; and the days set apart for ‘worship” are no more religious than is remembrance of the dead. - —Ain’t It a Fact?— A Fine Place to Rest An exchange tells us that “the ladies marshaled a force under the leadership of Mrs, Bone Tuesday af- ternoon ‘and cleaned up the cem- etery and -intend to fence the grounds and make them more attrac- tive by setting out shrubbery and trees.” Evidently Kelliher is also prepar- ing to welcome “he summer tourist trade. —May They Rest in Peace!— Here's a “Cow Story” E. ‘M. Sathre recently bought a Guernsey cow at Thief River Falls for $300. The owner asked $150 cash and Wty Buick Cushions “Ride Easy” Buick cushions are comfort=ble on all roads becsuse of their “double-deck” springs and resilient hair pads.

The. large show tent was set up this forenoon on th: corner of Bemidji avenue and Fourth street. A free street parade at noon today interested the older folks as weil as the kiddies. A band concert is to be given at 7 o’clock and the doors of the tent are to open at 7:30 for the evening performance which is scheduled for 8 o’clock. The play is produced from the original manuscript of Mrs. Stowe with a capable company of actors, singers, dancers, and musicians, in- cluding colored talent. Thé scenic equipment of the Terry company is said to be complete and adds much to the staging of the play. Popular prices are to be charged and indi- cations are that the show will be well attended. CANE POLES AND FROGS BRING IN BLACK :BASS One of the largest and most beau- tiful catches of big-mouthed black. bass ever seen in this section of the country was caught Sunday by B. A, Kolbe and his daughter, Ruth, at Twin Lakes. The bass ‘numered- about twenty and ranged in size from three, to six pounds. “Yes, everyone of ‘them put up a game fight,” admitted Mr. Kolbe, “and those. big ones furnished thrills aplenty.” Miss ‘Ruth modestly ad- mitted that it was great -sport and was proud of ‘her catch. 0ld cane_poles, frogs for bait and a flat bottomed boat did the business. No other secrets about catching bass in lakes in Northern Minnesota.

The pineapple belongs to a very in- teresting family of plants, called the Bromeliads, all of which are purely American, and none of which were known in the old world until import- ed from the new. Most of these are natives of Brazil. The pineapple is the only member of the family that produces a large fruit formed by thickening ‘its flower axis and by inclosing its seeds In fleshy bracts. It is flso peculiar in the fact that it grows on the earth, instead of up in. the branches of trees or on rocks, as do nearly all its rela- tives. These are like. the orchids in many respects; they draw no suste- nance from the earth through ‘their roots but live on rain. This they-catch in thelr leaves, which -are rolled into perfectly water-tight reservoirs.—New York Herald. y —_— New Sclentific Discovel \ Among the most remarkable glimpses into hidden corners of nature that scientific advance has afforded are the frequent discoverles of micro- organisms in unexpected places, where they produce phenomena here- tofore supposed to rise from other causes. For instance, a sclentist in Upsala, Sweden, ascertained that in preparations of meat and fish con- taining, for purpose of preservation, salt to the amount of 15 per cent, ‘micro-organisms grow luxuriantly and he . concludes ~that the flavors and odors that are peculiar to various salt conserves are due to the micro- organisms with which they are crowded. { Plant That Sneezes? | The recent discovery of a congh ing plant has been reported. The Vul- garisation Scientifique mentions still another species which sneezes. The former grows in certain trop- fcal countries and bears a bean-like fruit. It appears to have a decided distaste for dust, and when a little is placed on one of its leaves the respiratory organs of the plant inflate and the dust is expelled with a curi- ous noise, for all the world like a child with the whooping cough. We are not told the name of either plant and doubtless they are closely related, if not identical.—Kansas City Star. BARBER TRADE Now is the time to learn a good trade. Summer rates are in effect.
