the old female began to get away. But
the pack was now in striking distance
and the fight commenced

wolves were game and disposed of five
dogs before they were killed.
THE old she wolf had not gone far,
and her injuries were beginning to tell on
her. The staghounds overhauled her, and
then the rest of the pack came up, fol

was formed around the dogs, with the old

closed, and she appeared to be the most
unconcerned of all present. The hounds
came up and snapped at her. but she
paid little attention. None of the dogs
seemed willing to attack her. Finally a
dog with more of the bloodhound than
the others led the assault. The old wolf
woke up and killed him instantly. The
others then stood aloof.
Zone of the cowboys suggested that
none of the male dogs would attack fe-
male wolf and that their apparent tmid-
ity was nothing more than the chiyalry
OF the animal. AT that moment the
coach with the tourists arrived, and with
them came a fierce female bulldog weigh
ing about 80 pounds. The owner was
told the reason why the fight could not
proceed. and he offered to back his bull
dog against the old wolf. He was advis-

The democratic argument that the
republican party is one OF the East
would be effectually .squashedo by
nominating a western man. The time
has arrived and the man is in sight
to make such a move a high political
triumph this year. Two Minnesota
men have been chosen by two Of the
anti parties as vice Observation-Disclosures
dates, andthe republican party should
now step in and nominate the winning
gopher. w. ID. Washburn has been
suggested as such man and the sug-
gestion is wise one. He is q states
man with a firm grip on tho good
opinions of the people of the state and
the admiration of republicans every
where. His name would add strength
to the ticket, and his geographical
position would enlist the support of
the mighty and deserving West.

Il TOAST TO j. ADAM BEDE.

An exchange truthfully observes
that ssthe people don n'tWant J. Adam
Bede to go to congress, because Min
nesota has too few humorists at home
now That is true. Bede has arich
fund Of humor, and he can no more
afford to lose it than can we. 1t is
another fact that a term or so Of
congressional life is sufficient to wipe
all the mirth out of any mans sys-
tenn. Politics and humor don't mix
we'll, anyhow
While the PIONEER was hostile to
Bede, the candidate, it has warm
paw for Bede, the humorist. So here
is health to the funny man; he who
smoothes the wrinkled brow of care
The Bemidji pioneer., 1900-05-31
With a LIGHT word; he who pokes ful

with light word; he who pokes fun
at our follies, until we become
ashamed Of ourselves and reform; ne
who plucks the rod Of vengeance
from the hand Of rage with the gentle
power Of good nature. May he live
and grow fat! Some people do not
appreciate the humorist. They fain
would discourage him with an axe.
They fell to understand that he is hu. fll
manity's evangelist, with fun for his
GOSPEL fun that foe to malice, the en-
envy to scandal and the guardian
angel to honest virtue. The humoris'
is also natures great physician, who
has adopted mirth as his panacea--
mirth which fills the soul with pnre
sunshine, softens the heart and broad,
ems the intellect.
"A smiling face is an index OF the
soul within. Laughter reveals the
healthy body as gladness bespeaks 9
sound mind. Life is crowded with care
and work until the mind totters and
the body is exhausted. Laughter is
the gently falling shower which re-
freshes and nurishes human nature.
Without It life is like d church festi-
val without pretty walters.
Then here is health to the men like
Bede- the true philosophers who
plant the rainbow of wit and humor in
.life's heavens, teaching US to forget
past sorrows and to hope for happi-
sr-to-morrows

The scholars are taking state ex-
animation this week, and owing to the
excellent management Of Mr.. Cooley
for the past mine months quite few
pupils will pass the animation.
About twelve students are trying to
pass.
Last Friday afternoon the school
received visit and an address by G..
S. Smith. Mr.. Smith was seen by
the G. Al. r.. Post as a committee to
address the public school children, as
Isl the custom OF all G. A. r. Posts
on the subject Of Memorial day. Mr..
Smith made an address which inn
pressed the children very much. Mr..
Smiths speech was responded to by
Prof. Cooley in a neat little speech,
thanking him for his visit and prom
Using him the hearty support of the
school children on Memorial day.
Last Thursday evening the school
board met at the school house and
elected teachers. The teachers for
neyt year will all be new except Miss
Scovell and Miss McMahon, who are
teaching here now. The principal for
next year will be Mr.. Stewart of
Minneapolis, who will graduate from
the university this summer.
AS we were too busy last week to
write school notes the fact was not
mentioned that we received visit
from a delegationof the schooIboard,
but we are grateful for their visit just
the same.
Last Saturday evening the High
School Literary Society gave its last
program for this year in the city
hall. The program was very good,
but the crowd was not there. The
attendance was very poor, and the
society just cleared little over ex-
penses. The play, which was part
Of the program, was acted well for
amateurs. The debate on the ques-
ton, Resolved, That the British are
Justified in Waging War Against the
Beers, was decided in favor Of the
affirmative by a vote OF four to one.
Both sides put up q good argument,
but the boys who were holding up the
British standard had little the best.
