sit is quite impossible to give
anywhere near a correct idea OF
the primatiteness and lonliness

a dense forest of pine, far re-
moved from any habitation. The
towering trees on every side
completely hiding the little log

"Once inside you can think OF
nothing more desolate. The emp
ty room, the rude homemade
benches, two small windows to
admit the meager sunlight sifted
through the waving treetops,
casting shadows we were not al
ways brave enough to trace the
outline. 1t was no uncommon
occurrence to be startled by the
appearance of an Indian face al
the window. The owls took the
liberty to boot all day, and the
wild deer frequently grazed just
outside the door.

WISHING.

Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do.
Set watch upon your actions,
Keep them always straight and true
Rid your mind of selfish motives.
Let your thoughts be clean and high
You can make a little Eden
OF the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?'
Well, suppose you make a start
BY accommodating wisdom
In the scrapbook of your heart.
Do not waste one page on folly:
Live to learn and learn to live.
If you want to give men knowledge
You must get it, ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds OF kindness
AS you pass along the way.
For the pleasures OF the many
May be oftimes traced to one,
AS the hand that plants an acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.

After due preparation, we de-

six o'clock, p. M, and registered
at the Markham Hotel. Here we
found a home for travellers run on

The next morning we unpacked
the paintings we had come sc far
to dispose of, made during the
winter months by the artist, Mrs.

dispensories of liquid refresh

rietor was sent an invitation to
come to the hotel and view the art
display.

the writer enjoyed a popularity
almost equal to that of Mrs.
Nation in Wichita, Kan. Many
of them cast longing looks at the
coveted treasures, but most OF
them did not feel like spending
SO large sum of money at once.
Among those who called at the
hotel,to sec the paintings was that
prince of good fellows, G. H.
Miles, who has a hotel and saloon
on the principal cornerin the city,
and he was the man with whom
we closed the deal. A local artist
was called in to hang the paint
1ings in a proper manner, with
drapery behind, a canopy over
head, and electric jets shaded SO
as to throw their light upon the
canvas in the best possible man.

Thinking it might be Of inter
est to the readers Of the SIRIUS
to know the real progress of the
schools of Bemidji, I have un-
#dertaken the task of giving a
short history of the school from
the first organization of the dis
trict up to the present time. The
brief period of our story natur-
ally divides itself into three
epochs; the first of which covers
the time from the first organiza-
ton to the sub-dividing Of the
district into three, in June, 1896.
It was sometime after the first
of January, 1895, that the whole
township of Bemidji was organ
lied into common school dis
trict. The first school meeting
was held in Carson Bros. store,
a log building about 80 rods be-
yond the bridge crossing the
Mississippi, between lakes r.
vine and Bemidii. In this build
ing, now the house Of G. 0. Gid
den, 1.-THE following officers, GIN.
Carson, director, R. H. Carr,
treasurer, and NJ. E. Carson,
clerk, were elected to serve till
the annual election the following
July. After the election of the
board, the next thing to be done
was to select favorable location
on which to buildla schoolhouse.
The site selected is about one
fourth mile southeast of where
the B. & N. Ry. roundhouse now
stands. It was one fine March
morning that the following
men, Ed Trask, D. w. Stew
ems, Al Godbout, d. Stillman, r.
H. Carr, Harry Bachley, Ole Null
ligan, Knute Halverson, Porter
INye, Willis Nye and Carson
brothers, we're gathered at this
spot for the purpose Of donating
their strength and physical en-
durance in the rolling up Of a log
structure about Is x 20 and eight
feet high. viii -.@...., s
When this much had been done
toward a schoolhouse, D. W. Stew
ems took the job of putting on the
roof and adding such other fin
ishing touches as would render
the building fit for holding school
April 9Th. ~~
EARLY this bright Monday
morning we might have seen Mr..
Porter Nye with an armful Of
books and a crowd of children
coming along newly-cut trail
| in the direction of the school
house. It was not long after the
teacher and pupils had reached
the building till the ringing of
the bell announced that it was
time for school to begin. This
day began a term of four months
school, which Mr.. Nye finished,
except about three weeks taught
by Miss Eva Colby, one Of the
first teachers in this section.
The following children were
enrolled during the term: May
mona Nye, Evan Carson, Gala
Trask, Inez, Henry and Georgi-
ana Nye, vernon anu Vlctoi
Carr, Westly, May, Edith
and Eddie Walden and Henry
Wolcot, in all IA pupils for the
term. At the annual school meet
ing held in July, nine months of
school was voted and the follow
ing officers were elected: G. M.
Carson, treasurer; John Steidl,
director, and Ell Carson, clerk.
The latter resigned, whereupon
E.S. Kincannon was appointed.

I'm discussing this subject tonight
we shall speak the naked truth how

no claim to being cast in a heroic
mould, yet We propose to hit IL and IL
we do not hit il hard il will be for
lack Of ability AMI not disposition.
With the motives OF men we have
nothing to do. but as to the act and du-
ties OF men we have a right to inquire
at least so far as ;heir acts and duties
affect the welfare Of this city We
have no sympathy with that idea that
because 4 man Is a minister he can
not be a citizen. The individual who
disregards those acts and duties ought
TO be made to stand at the bar of out
ragged patriotism and show cause why

hope to see the day when an en-
liEhtened public opinion shall affix to
the shirking Of civic duties the same
stigma that brands the man who de-
serts the field of battle. Then there
will gather mighty cyclone of popu-
lar wrath that will unroof every den

you have all read. for Il appeared in

that there had been an early thaw,
