Mr. Walker, Mary Hyland to Jono Arm- strong, both of Bemidji. ‘The Monday Whist club entertain- ed ‘their husbands Monday e-ening atthe home of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Kremer, and a most delightful time was enjoyed by all. The dance given Monday evening by the Pokegaina Aerie No. 366, F. _{O. E., was a pronounced success and proved the crewoing event of the season. The hall was most beauti- fully decorated. James McCormick who has been ill for several months past,died Tuesday morning at 10:45 o’clock. The de- edsed was sixty-five years of age at the time of his death, which resulted from stomach trouble. The funeal was held Thursday morning from the Catholic church at ten o’:lock and the remains laid to rest in the Cath- olic cemetery. The Bob and Eva McGinley Comedy entertained the people of Bottineau at the opera house Monday and Tues- day evenings. The company is com- posed of Bob and Eva McGinly, come. dians, Miss Lizette Hoskins, novelty rag time singer, and dancer, Claude Woods, chCracter actor, and J. E. Shafer, novelty triple tongue cornet- ist. Every feature of the entertain= ment was yood and appreciated by the audience.

One of the largest. purchases of Northern white pine made in recent years has just been comploted by the Batkus-B: ; Lumber company of Minneapolis. The purehase covers over 80,000,000 feet of standing pine is Northern Minnesota and in Can- ada, and was purchased from the Kewatin Lumber & Manufacturing company of Kewatin. Ont. The larger. part of the timber purchased is said to be located in Itasca county, and is close to a new sawmill that the Backus-Brooks company expects to establish at International Falls. A,third petition for the division of Itasca county was brought to Secre- tary of State Hanson Wednesday which tends to greatly complicate matters. This last’ petition would divide Itasca into four counties, making three new counties. It pro- poses tu cut the county east and west on the lire between townships 66 and 67, running about three miles north of Rippie. ‘his they would call Garfield county and make Koochi- culng the county seat. South of here, between townships 63 and 64, they would intersect ltasca with an- other line, running about six miles north of Effie. This county would be named Glenwood and it would have Ripple for its county seat. Then from the middle of this south bound- ary of Glenwood county another line is drawn a couple of miler east of Effie and straight south to the south- ern boundary of Itasca county, slightly east of Deer River. What is west of this line the petitioners would call Big Fork county and make Deer River the county seat. The portion east of that line would re- main ltasca county witn Grand Rap- ids the county seat as at present. The petition was brought in by F. F. Seaman of Deer Riverand was signed by 800 residéuts of » Itasca county. This will make the disposi- tion of the county division very com: | plicated. The first petition asked for one new county to be called Koo-| chiching and baving International Falls for the county seat. The peo- ple in the southern end of the new county wanted the county seat closer and for that reason started another petition calling the county Forest and making Big Falls the county seat. lt is possible that there will bea number of more petitions auda lively time 1s anticipated when the petitions are given a hearing March 16. Saturdy evening a meeting wa held in the assembly room at the high school building for the purpose of discussing the provision of more room for the increasing demand upon ‘the present spacious schogl quarters, and same was attended by a large bumber of citizens cf the town and Tural-district. The meeting was and Vicinity. cailed to order by President Reuswig and then followed the naming of H. D. Powers as moderatur, who ane nounced the gathesing., guperinten- dent Freeman was called upon to give an idea as to the needs for the coming year, whereupon he spoke of the proposed addition of the kinde- garden branch, another first and fourth grade, besiaes a couple of new studies in the high school, which would necessitate the adding of at least four more rooms. These re- marks being considered as conclusive 4 motion to erect a new school house of six rooms on suitable grounds west of Kindred avenue was unanimously carried, and a committee consisting of C.C.. McCarthy, D. M. Gunn and John Beckfelt named to act in con- junction with the school board io selecting adesirabie site for the new edifice. Another motion prevailed settidy forth a sum not to exceed $20,000 in the construetion of the new west ward school house and car- jried unanimously, and the district to be bonded in this amount or a tax levy voted to raise the necessary funds. with which to proceed to husi- ness. «The sence of the meeting was that.ere many years more room would be needed to accomodate the rapidly increasing sohool population of our i village, and buildings fadequate to snch needs would then be erected ia the east’ and south sides, and the town divided into ‘wards, If it is found that the district can be bonded in the sum of $20,000 a postponed meeting will be held on Friday even- ing, March 9th, and a call posted stating such facts, but a tax levy was voted lieu thereof before the meeting adjourned to stand good should the houding be beyond the resources of the original “first district.

THE “LAW OF SALE.” Attitude cf the Consumer Toward the Advertiser, A specialist who has made a study of the mental attitude of the consumer toward the advertiser formulates what he call the “law of sale” as fol- lows: “Attention, properly sustained, changes to interest; intereste, proper- ly augmented, changes to desire, and desire, properly intensified, changes to resolve to buy.” Often the reader passes through all these mental stages in the perusal of a single advertise- | OLDEST ARMY MARCHING TUNE. “Fhe White Cockade” Played Before Americans in 1775. ft is the old music, after all, that puts the life into marching feet, for it carries the traditions of marcking in its melodies. One of the oldest of the tunes was “The White Cockade.” This is a historical melody to Amer- feans, though many Ameri¢ans may not be awate of the fact. Jt was the tune to which the farmers who fred the shot heard round the world marched when they determined to force the passage of the bridge at Concord. Possibly it wag the only tune which the drummer and fifer of Capt. Isaac Davis’ company knew, but the fact that it was played is histo- tical. The popularity of the tune is proof that a melody made for one par- ty is recognized as good by all if it has the quality of being singable. “The White Cockade” was originally a Ja- cobite tune, but it made a good march for the descendants of the Engltsh Puritans, April 19, 1775, when Capt: Davis made his musicians strike up. As they were the first American force that ever advanced to battle as Amer- icans, “The White Cockade” is the old- est melody of the American army.— Boston Transcript. SIMPLE TEST FOR EGGS. Method Used In Germany Said te Be Inte.” A new and simple method for tem- ing eggs is published in German pa- pers. It is based upon the fact that the air chamber in the flat end of the egg increases with age. If the egg is pl in a saturated solution of com- mon salt it will show an increasing inclination to float with the long axis yertical. A scale is attached to the vessel containing the salt solution so that the inclination of the floating egg toward the horizontal can be meas- ured, In this way the age of the egg can be determined almost to a day. A fresh egg lies in a horizontal posi- tion at the bottom of the vessel; an egg from three to five cays old shows an elevation of the flat end so t rat its Jong axis forms an angle of 20 de- grees. With an egg eight days old the angle fncreases to 45 degrees; with an eggs fourteen days old to 60 -de- grees, and with one three weeks old to 75 degrees, while an egg a month old floats vertically upon the pointed ead. Few Achievements Impossible. The men and women at the summit reached their positions seldom by a pull, but nearly always by their push. ‘When Daniel Webster was speaking at Bunker Hill, the crowd pressed toward the platform, endangering those seated thereon, and Webster seeing their peril, shouted to the people, “Keep back.” “It is impossible,” cried some one in the crowd. The orator exclaim- ed, “Nothing is impossible at Bunker Hill.” And few things are impossible to persevering and invincibly deter- mined American men and women.

When Slim Pete Fiddles. We've a high old time when Slim Pete fiddles For the country shindig down at Biddles’ Ranch, cu the Tar Flat road. His horses hair bow Can saw out ‘Dixie’ or “Jump-Jim- Crow” Like sixty. ‘Hop light, ladies, tiptoe fine, Git yer pardners now, an’ jump in line, Couples to their places, sets to stalls,” Pete yells, mounts a box and fiddles and “Honors all an’ let ‘er go! Balance all and do-se-do! Jump lively now, an’ all sashay! Gents take a turn an’ break away! Ladies march around the ring! Meet year gent and let ‘im swing? Cross over calico, bow down low!

Some familiar words illustrate that confusion between article and sub- stantive which has given the English language “a newt” for “an ewt.” “A mo” represents “an ekename,” an additional name; and “a nugget,” or “niggot,” as it used to be written, was once “a ningot,” a wrong version of “an ingot.” Similarly the phrase “for the nonce” was originally “for then once”—for thatone time, “then” being the dative case of “that.” On the other hand, “an adder” and “an orange” were “a nadder” and “a norange” originally. “An apron,” also, has come from “a 1:apron” (connected with “napery”), and “an umpire” is really “a numpire’—a “non-peer,” & not equal or odd man, the odd man out who arbitrates. established in this city, party in the same kind of business preferred, write immediately. Sundby Tea Company, Duluth, © Minn. He Was Bad Marksman. A man once possessed a valuable sporting dog which was extremely clever in the retrieving of dead and wounded game. It had, in fact, never been known to lose a bird when brought dewn by the gun. The owner, however, was a remarkably bad shot and one day, on firing both barrels hastily at a rabbit which ran unexpect- edly across his path, he heard a mourn- ful howl. The next moment his dog appeared carrying a black object in his mouth and laid it carefully at hig master’s feet. The animal had re- trieved his own tail—London Globe. O'Brien’s Favorite Boyhood Nook. Of his boyhood days William O’Bri- en writes: “My favorite eyrie was on one of the topmost branches of a ‘Molly’ tree, the highest in our gar- den. Here I could bask by the hour upon my gently shaking couch, amidst the apply blossoms or the green fruit. The thirst for reading was one of the grand correctives of this John-o’- dreams propensity. Many of the books that have most inffuenced my life pre- sent themselves to me, as it were, in a binding of apple leaves, with the spacious library of open sky, and frag- rant orchard trees spreading around. WANTED.---Local agent, trade well | Feat of a Greek Scholar. It may safely be said that x feat of translation in any age has never equalled that achieved by Prof.. Jebb in rendering Browning’s “Abt Vogler” into Greek verse. This fine soliloquy of the musician is less obscure, no doubt, than many other of its author’s productions, but it abounds in imagery and in turns of thought which even an Englishman finds it not very easy to follow and of which he could hardly have conceived it possible that any Greek equivalents should exist. Yet, they did exist, for Jebb found them, though it may be doubted whether any other Greek scholar living would hava been equally successful in his search, —London Telegraph.
