Virginia was getting the worst of the argumemt at the time, but we would not even hint that this fact had anything to do with their action. Grand Rapids wanted to take Vir- ginia on for a game this coming Sat- urday, offering to go and play the game on their own fiield. After con- siderable correspondence by letter and telephone, Supt. Bliss informed our boys that his team wag sched | uled ‘to play Ely on that date and could not possibly be made to set a definite time for meeting the local | eleven. | In case that Virginia objects to tak | ing us on because we are Mot on: the “range” we might answer that Two Harbors is not even located in an, iron-producing coumty and that there seeemd to be no objection to them on that score—umtil Virginia | was in danger of getting beaten by them. If it is reputation we lack, we might call attention to the fact that we have defeated Hibbing and Be- midji this season and) that the latter | team has defeated Grand Forks by | a score of 19 to 0; Fosston, 50 to 0,and Deer River 12 to 0, while they'| went down before our team by a} score of 19 ito 6, with Whalen and} Litchke, two of our best men, mis- sing from the team. It is the intention of Coach Carson | to pass the claim of Virginia «n- tirely by and make efforts to se- cure a game with Two Harbors, whose right to battle for the title seems by far the more clear.

The total sum’ is $11,952.96 and of this sum $10,656.60 comes from the state and the balance is accruing fines, penalties: interests an costs collected from the delinquent tax list, the school fund getting half the moneys annually derived from this sounce. CHANGES WROUGHT ~~ IN A FEW YEARS Big Prices Paid For Standiug Pine In Upper Mississippi Valley. The following taken from the Mis- sissippi Valley Lumberman, goes to show how arpidly this section is be-| ing denuded of what a few years ago was its greatest source of wealth and the astounding changes that have taken place in the price of timber “products: “Friday of last week the state aud- itor of Minmesota auctioneed off a lot of timber to a Very appreciative audience. Since the state adopted the open auction method of disposing of mature timber, the prices have been ly mounting, and at the sale last week the highest stumpage price on record in this state was paid for - choice morsels of white pine. This particular tract had been appraised state officials at $9.00 per thous- but the bidders thought better than that, for it was knocked at $15.75. It was not very years ago that the best white lumBer produced in the upper valley could be boughit, for than tthat‘at the tail of the’ mill. t g Tye | ase of moderate abilities often confers Land-clearing in this neighborhood has been going on steadily during the entire summer with the result | Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador | wt London, used to tell of an attack nade upon him by a bear during a | aunt in the east.

Chairman Hilles said he had re- ceived messages from two more mem- | bers of the committee—Messrs. Mur- | phy of New Jersey and Hart of Idaho —both of whom said, Mr. Hilles de- clared, that they would vote for Gov- | ernor Hadley. BANK CASHIER IS MISSING Peter Lutz of Zell, S. D., Disappeared a Week Ago. Faulkton, S. D., Nov. 5—One week ago Peter Lutz, cashier of the Bank of Zell, drove to Redfield and has not been heard of since. His sudden and mysterious departure led to an in- quiry as to the bank’s financial con- dition and an examination was made by the state examiner. | No statements have been given out, but a rumor of a $12,000 shortage is afloat.

In fact, dying is as painless as falling asleep. It is only the previous struggle, the sense of its approach, that is at all uncomfortable. Even this is less unpleasant than | should have ex- pected. There was a total absence of any craven shrinking. The sensation was merely the physical one of gasping tor breath.—Harper’s Weekly. THE AGE OF MAN. | Science Places It Between 400,000 and 3,000,000 Years. It is quite possible, said Professo: A. Teith in a lecture to the British as- |sociation at Dundee, that man as we know him now took om his human characteristics somewhere near the |beginning of the pliocene period, and while the exact date is simply a guess the best estimates available indicate 1,498,000 B. C. as not far from the» truth. If the evidence of the dint collectors is accepted as authentic, pliocene man is a possibility. Professor Keith was sure we had traced ourselves back to the middie of when we were ac- companied by another form of man almost as distinct from us as the gorilla is from the chimpanzee. At the | beginning of the pleistocene there were at least two varieties of man— the pre-neanderthaloid of Heidelberg and the small brained man of Java— but the “representative of modern man at that early period” has not as yet been found. If the claims of M. Rutot are accept- ed, the antiquity of man is at least 8,000,000 years. According to Professor Keith, the orthodox (by which presum- ably he meant scientifically orthodox) |opinion is that “the dawn of the very earliest form of humanity lies 400,000 years behind us.” From all of which it is plain that the beginnings of the age of man are still shrouded in mys- tery. “The idea I wish to leave in your minds is,” said Professor Keith in conclusion, “that in the distant past there was not one kind, but a number of very different kinds of men in ex- istence, all of which have become ex- tinct except that branch which has given origin to modern man.”—New York Post. Has His Own Death Certificate. You never know when a man is really dead. Not even if you are a doctor. | know a man who walks about cheer- fully now and occasionally pulls out trom his pocketbook his death certifi- eate, duly signed by the doctor some years ago. Just to amuse you. The doc- tor said he was dead. He disagreed. And his protest is the humorous pre- sentation of the death certificate when you ask for his card.—London Chron- ile. Thackeray and Roast Mutton. Thackeray often dropped in to din- ber, sometimes announcing himself in verse. The following is one of his: epistles: A nice leg of mutton, my Lucie, I pray thee have ready for me; Have it smoking and tender and juicy, For no better meat can there be.

What “Sorry, but That Is the Rule,” Cost One Bank. “The making of rules for the carry- ing on of business is a good proposi: tion, but ironclad rules sometimes in- jure as much as they help,” a New York banker declared recently. “Here {fg an illustration: “One of the depositors in my con- tern had saved many years. His bank book, tattered and yellow, was full to the last lines with entries that ex- tended practically since his wedding day. And wheu the time came that he Must take out a new book he asked to save the old one. “Sorry,” the teller said, ‘but it’s a rule of the company that when a new book is issued we must take up the old one.” “But you don’t understand,’ the de positor argued. ‘That old book is nothing to you. It is worth a whole lot to me. Many’s the night my wife and I have sat up with that, looking over the entries, planning for the fu- ture when all the additions we had planned would be made in it. We've seen our little account grow from $10 to $100, from $100 to $1,000.’ His voice grew a bit husky. ‘Why, that little book has been a sort of Bible to as. It has represented our every hope in life. We have planned by it, dream- ed by it. May I not keep it? “The clerk smiled sympathetically, but shook his head. “‘I cannot violate one of the iron- clad rules of the establishment,’ he answered, and the man turned away. “A month went by, and then one day a check for the man’s entire balance came into the bank. He had transfer- red his account to another institution. The matter came to my attention some way, and | heard the story of the torn and tattered bank book. That night, in the little bulletin which we send around our place, was a notice that was written by me: “‘Hereafter there shall not be an ironclad rule in this bank that is too strong or too heavy to resist breakage. Kindly consult the cashier on matters of diplomacy in the future.’”—New York World. Diseases of Metals. Metals suffer from contagious dis- eases analogous to those of living be- ings. Among these diseases one of the most striking is that called “tin pest.” Sometimes a block, a plate or medal of tin attacked by this disease crumbles and falls into dust. and sometimes warty protuberances appear on the surface of the metad. Various other metals suffer from a disease that man- ifests itself by a spontaneous recrys- tallization. The most remarkable cases occur with lead and bard drawn brass. ‘These diseases are not due, as has been thought, simply te moisture. ‘Temperature plays a part in producing them. The most extraordinary fact perhaps is that the “tin pest” is capa- ble of spreading by contagion.—Har- per’s Weekly. Maybe a Little—After. The play was not by any means bril- Mant, and obviously the man was bor- ed. Suddenly he leaped to his feet. “I heard an alarm of fire,” he said. “I must go and see where it is.” His wife, whose hearing was less acute, made way for him in silence, and he disappeared. “It wasn’t a fire after all,” he said A wise physician is more than armies | — A man with money in our bank always has a deep feeling of security. This is only one of many advantages derived from allowing us to take care of your savings. First National Hank GRAND RAPIDS. MINN. Capilal § 2 5,000,00 Veutpslass $ 5,000,00 OFFICERS Vice-Pres., A.
