Friday and Saturday, December 16 and 17, are the days on which the in- teresting event will take place Big Time at Northome. A string fiend from Northome sent the following story to the Duluth New ‘Tribune under date of Noy. 30: This town is recoveringfrom the most widespread and prolonged debauch in the history of northern Minnesota. It wis paid for by Otto Schmidt, whoa | few days ago inherited $16,0% from a relative in Germauy. A short time ago the German consul at St. Paul notified Mr. Senmidt that a fortune Was awaiting him and thatall] he had to do was to prove his iden of ES was soon done. Then Mr. Schmidt, who viewed the inheritance as very easy money, proceeded to show North- ome what a good spender he is. He succeeded. “The town entered into the spirit of his célebration, and men who for years had not exceeded their ‘pint o’ beer a day”? vied with the village to persin their efforts Lo create a whisky famine. Many ne ants closed their doors while the celebra- tion lasted. The saloons were open day and night. For a week “Schmidt pays for this’? was the most common expression to be beard in Northome. Schmidt accepted no change, and in- variably laid down a bill in payment for “drinks for the house.” He has now sobered up, however, and says he will spend no more money foolishly, He says he does not regret having taught the village of Northome how to celebrate. Chieago Lady Quartetie. The local Lyceum bureau have se eured the Chicago Lyceum Lady Quartette for Village hall next Thursday evening, December 8th. The program is of the popular class, adopting just enough of the heavier selections ‘to give strength and vari- ety.

John O'Connor, who in district court pleaded guilty to an indictment for grand larceny in the second de- gree, was sentenced Lo one year in the state penitentiary and John Mallery, of Pine River, who pleaded guilty to malicious Gestruction of property, was given six months in the county jail. One man gets a year for stealing an overcoat; the other only six months for burning up 196 cords of wood, That:the punishments are so unequal- ly assigned is, however, the fault of the law and not of the judge, the latter expressing regret that he could not infict a more severe penalty on Mullery.—Walker Pi'ot. Postofiice Hours on Sunday. The postotiie will hereafter be open on Sunday from 2:15 p. m. to 3:15 p.m. We have no suggestions to offer Pust- master McVicar as to how he shall conduct his office, believing him to be quite* competent to exercise good jucgment in that respect. Some people suggest that the postmaster would ‘‘make frends” by maintain- ing a telephone in the oifice for the accommodation of the public, thu’ obviating the nece: sity-of walking to the postoflice to learn that they have no mail. These “suggesters” may not stop to think thata plone in the post- office would not only keep central busy at all bours of the day but would require ab least two extra clerks in the postofice — one at the ‘phone and one to look up the mail-called for. If one hour on Sunday is not sufficient time for the people to get their mail it will be sare until Mouday morning at 8 o’clock. Aschool man’m asked a kid the other day which was proper, “my hands are clean,” or “my hand is} clean,” Wherein Mr. kid promptly answered that neither was mght.
