belt for women which is really the great
est improvement on any belt ever saw.
Instead of making the waist line square,
as belts usually do, 1t gives you the most
perfect round and long front effect. He
charges $1.25 for it, and 1t can't cost him
over 80 cents at the outside. Last week l
was on Sixth avenue and Forty-seventh
street, and saw these identical belts hang
ing in the window. l wondered how they
dared sell them when Koch had applied
for the patent, so l went in and asked.
You know a newspaper correspondent
must necessarily satisfy her curiosity. 1t
seems that the poor German woman keep
ing the store is really the inventor of
the belt, and Koch infringed on her pat
ent. He has reaped a harvest, and she
has not made penny, but her lawyers
are now suing Koch. In the meantime,
every dry goods store has them for sale
at So cents. l advise you TO buy one and
use it as model TO make your own by.
If YOU wear belts it will certainly improve
your figure.

was over and the women went to the
dressing room for their wraps, another
woman, who is noted for her frankness
and sincerity, took the gossip to one side
and said
DO you know, Theresa, that you have
nearly blasted the reputation of Mrs. -.
You have picked her character so entirely
to pieces that you have not left her a tail
feather. My advice to you is to try and
undo what you have commenced by invif-
ing her to every entertainment you intend
giving this season."
She warned her that if she was not obey

her. So Theresa" approaching with
whom she had to deal, did as she was or

Screens decorated with

Screens decorated with photo
graphs, by common consent, were rele
gated long since to the dusty obscurity
of the garret or the mildewed isolation
Of the cellar" says the photographer
who studies fads; but photographs
will accumulate, and women find it nee
cessary to exhibit some of them at
least. So there has risen a fertile
genius with fad for displaying photo
graphs on the boudoir wall gracefully
distributed between the spokes Of BIZ
cycle wheel, says the New York Press.
"Not an ordinary bicycle wheel, how
ever, will suffice. If it is young wom-
an with matrimonial prospects, more
or less immediate, or maiden IN the
first throes of hope, she must show her
pictures in a wheel from her best
young mans bicycle. If she is married,
then she must use a wheel which has
revolved in century runs. This as an
effective ornament and permits the ex-
hibition of so or more favorite pic
lures.
Another fad has brought it about
that many young men who last year
were wearing boards have faces as
smooth as eggs this year. Their adorn-
ments have been sacrificed to the fad
in question. The end of the centur,

OBITUARY.

After long and painful strug-
gle with serious complication OF
diseases, resulting at last in
typhoid fever. Bert Sisley passed
to the silent beyond last Satur-
day afternoon. He was taken to
the hospital four weeks ago, and
had been unconscious most of the
time since. It was a magnificent
fight between strong vitality and
death, but the scythe of the
Reaper again proved the weak
ness of mortal man.
Sunday afternoon the body was
escorted in honor by the Bemidii
Tribe of Red Men and the Bemidjl
Firemen, of which orders he was
n member. to the west bound train
and shipped to St Cloud for burial:
A brother of the deceased and
Fred Brinkman went with the
corpse and assisted in the last sad
rites.
The deceased was 35 wears old,
having been born near St. Cloud
in its pioneer days and his parents
still live near Foley. He came to
Bemidii in the fall of '98 and
Joined Fred Brinkman in the
saloon business and continued
with Fred up to his death. He
uos rn,,orr;od Two hrotherS
and three sisters and his parents
survive him. His father returned
with Mr.. Brinkman n to Bemidjl.
Bert was a man whose greatest
gift seemed to be the making of
friends. And we doubt if in his
whole career in Bemidji he has
made one enemy. Everybody
liked Bert and the whole commun-
ity mourn as brothers his untime'
ly taking off.
