Ceremony Arranged by Chancs En-
 tireiy in Persia and Japan.
 The naming of the child in Persia is made an event of great rejoicing and a time for the gathering of relatives When the guests are assembled sweet meats are eaten and then the infant in its swaddling clothes is brought in and laid on the carpet in the center oi the room by one of the priests Five names are written on as many slips of paper and placed between the leaves of the Koran. chapter Is read from this book and then one of the slips is drawn at random. The name on the slip is the one the child has to bear through life, and the priest takes up the slip, pronounces the name in the child's ear and places the piece of pa- per in its clothes. Gifts and congratu- lations follow. The custom in Japan is for the parents on the thirteenth day after its birth to take the child to the temple they attend and the father gives three names to the priest, who writes each on piece of paper. These are then shuffied about with certain incantations and thrown up in the air The first that falls is the oue chosen, This Is then written by the priest oE consecrated piece of paper and given to the childs parents to preserve. The child then -ecelves certain gifts, two of which are important If boy, two fans are presented; and If girl, pot of pomade, and in each case packet of flax thread is added, which signi- fes good wishes and long li.e.

Escroquerie is crime which has no distinct counterpart in any country but France. An English lady was re. gently sentenced to twelve months im- prisonment for ordering costume that she was not, able to pay for, and an English governess was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment for taking 9 cab without being able to pay the fare. The French are eminently practical people, and see no great difference be- tween running off with. an article and getting It without paving for it.

 Fauna of Africa.
 With reference to the international action which the government has in view for the preservation of the big fauna of Africa, I have had the opper- tunity of hearing the opinion of ore of the greatest living authorities on the subject. This individual has passed the greater part of his life in the dis triets of Africa affected by the legisla- ton in force and prospective for pro- hibiting the killing of big game. He as- cures me that all the laws in operation fall to achieve the purpose in view in the localities where the natives are al- lowed to carry guns. Tn British East Africa, where the whites are strictly forbidden to shoot big game without authority. the natives are allowed to kill indiseriminately and without check everything they come across. h Mashonaland and Matabeleland, on the other hand, since the disarmament of the natives there has been pereep- tible increase in eert-in species, and this increase is likely to gradually be- come more marked as time goes on and the regulations are enforced. Antelope of different kinds have lately been seen in. the neighborhood of Buluwayo. which it had been thought had eom- pletefy disappeared from the country, and there is reason to believe that in Rhodesia the danger of extinction of many of the species, which at one time was real, had been checked if not alto gether ave,ted.-Birmingha Post.

CHANCE FOR WHEELING.

We are glad to note that steps have
been taken BIZ a few wide-awake citi-
zens towards building q bicycle path
around lake Bemidji. That is one OF
the great needs Of Bemid il, if this
town is to pose Us q summer resort.
In this age Of the world, summer re-
sort without cycling opportunities is
like paradise without room for wings.
And it is a widespread fact that Be
ridji is q poor place to which to
bring wheels.
Around the lake will be o route sfor
the most delightful driveway or path
in the state. Let but the path be ac-
complished, and the papers through
out the country which now go in rap
lures over our lake as boating place,
will pegin to tell the luxury of a
wheel excursion around it.
The promoters Of the path do not
intend to build the path this
year. All they ask IL TO, d start
era mile or two now will guarantee
its completion later on. One bicycle
house has already offered to donate
$50 on such path. This is a hint as
to how the expense of tie enterprise,
can be largely met. Every citizen
should take off his hat to the path
idea and hts coat of to the work. v

toughs held up d man on the main
street at $50 In the afternoon, robbed
him OF S240 and went their way with-
out molestation.
This is dirty, dreamy and un-
called-for lie. The police department
and the citizens Of Bemidji haveheard
or seen nothing of such a robbery.
And the alleged victim has made no
cutlery. If Mr.. w. s. Whisky Soak
Dedon was the victim, his knowledge
Of the location OF our Main street"
must be as limited us his use OF truth.
The Twin City papers are eager for
any item Of news from the Indian
country, and while We may excuse
their distorted facts about Indian
troubles which imagination alone
breeds, we cannot forgive their nasty
act ia publishing such stuff about q
town whose people are as law-abiding
and whose police officers are as vigi-
liant as those of either st. Paul or
Minneapolis.

I The refusal OF G. "A. ToWne to be q
candidate for congress against Page
Morris will be received with genuine
regret by the Republicans of the dist
rict. TO be sure he is the strongest
candidate the Popocratic party could
name, but he has always made the
fight decidedly interesting, and there
never was any doubt of his defeat.
This year the Republicans expected TO-
wipe him off the political map by
about three thousand majority, and
they will be disappointed that the OPP
portunity to do this is to be denied
them. With ToWne out Of it the con-
test will be a walk over for Congress-
man Morris, and thus the excitement
of a close fight will be eliminated from
the campaign. st Cloud Journal

While we have no doubt OF the
triumph Of republican principles and
republican nominees in Beltrami
county this fall, the man who imagins
that nomination on; that ticket is
equivalent to election is badly of his
base. We have had enough tips from
voters to convince us that they carry
concealed knives and will use them on
a few possible candidates. The dele
gates who select the county ticket
should proceed with greatest care.
The nominees must have more to rec.
ommend them than the credit of be-
ing "a good fellow This stand by
the party is a good motto, but no
self-respecting newspaper Or politician
can use itin defense of ambitious fools
or rogues. And the voters are in no
humor for such hypocrisy THE
PIONEER is in a position to use the
utmost freedom in condemning COM
mending the party nominees, and we.
shall use this freedom in the interest
OF good government.

THE RED MEN COMETH.

It's expected that the largest crowd
ever seen in Bemidji will be here on
the occasion of the Red Mems excur-
sion to this city on July 18th and 30th.
AS the crowd will be here Sunday and
Monday nights, it Is incumbant upon
every citizen who is interested in the
welfare OF our city to see to il that all
visitors are properly cared for on
those dates. 1t will never do for even
nm ILdian, Red Man or white, TO be
left without q wigwam, when visiting
our hospitable town. Il is therefore
urged by the committee thatail private
families who have furnished rooms or
rooms to spare, will leave their names
and number of rooms as we'll as the
price to be charged, with Mr.. Reyn-
olds, OF the firm Of Street q Reyn-
olds. Do this at once.

Among the several good men men.
toned as worthy the nomination as
county commissioner from this dis
trict is J. II. Jinkinson, the Bemidji
blacksmith, liveryman and member Of
the village council. Perhaps no man
throughout the district is better known
to the people. AS liveryman he has
become familiar WITH every part Of
the county, and thoroughly knows its
needs. And those who know Jack I
know that, If elected, he will rely up
on his own judgment in considering
the needs OF the county, and will not
consider the wishes Of political friends
when the question is one Of Right VS..
Wrong. Honesty and q mind Of his
own are the two cardinal traits in
Jinkinson's makeup.
