MELANCHOLY.
Beautiful Pen Sketch OF Twilight in the
Northern Minnesota woods.

Beautiful Pen Sketch OF Twilight In the
Northern Minnesota Woods.
Tucked away in each issue Of the
Bemidji Pioneer are some very clever
''Backwoods Sketches by "A. M.
Greeley. One Of the best We have seen
yet is the following on Melancholy
which appeared in the Pioneer last
week:
when the torch Of day burns low
and night spreads its sable blankets,
bidding nature to repose, odd is that
mortal housed by himself alone who
feels nodroop in his spirits, no mourn
full thoughts in his mind. In the great
forests of northern Minnesota are hum
dreds of modern Robinson Crusoes-
sitting in their rude 'shacks,' waiting
for the sea of progress to roll upon the
wilderness, and sweep civilization up
to their doors. Alone he is, but he
has two frequent visitors. One is soli-
tude, who like faithful Friday is ever
at his side.
''But 'tisa twilight when reflections
from the sun are swallowed up by the
hungry mists OF the night-when light
thickens and the crows seek out the
deepest shades-that Melancholy takes
his hand and leads him through her
realm. Melancholy does not like the
glare OF day, but steals forth in the
gloom. She is a thoughtful, deep
eyed goddess, who with tear-dimmed
eyes, looks back through Times dark
avenues at the fading past.
''Homesteader, have you never met
her? When the tall trees loom dim
and blurred against the rising night;
when the bats wing futters in your
face, and when the night hawk calls
drearily across the swamps, have you
not felt the power of her presence?
And when the leaves are stirring on
the ground and when the cedar boughs
are swaying overhead, have you not
heard her footsteps-and the rustic of
her wings?
but Melancholy is kind to her for
est slave. She clothes with sadness,
but crowns him with peace. She bids
him forget the cares of the world, and
the struggle for existence creeps away
from his mind. She teaches him that
man is greater than his life, that earth
is not roaring factory but temple
of worship, an asylum of rest. She
binds his eyes with sadness that in the
darkness the cropping man may clasp
the hand of GOd.''

Thinks Farmers Favor Bill

''Warren Wakefield of Long Lake,
Hennepin county, farmer and q
former member OF the legislature, APP
peared before the tax committee last
Friday and created something of a
diversion" says report "He de-
clared that the farmers were behind
the bill, and wanted to see it passed.
The assessor sees everything the
farmer owns, while the man with
money escapes. He believed that few
tax paying farmers would oppose the
bill.''

THE FARMERS, INSTITUTE.

Fl
The One to be Held In Princeton March
ss14 and 10, to be of Great Interest 10
Farmers. @,sS d.
s. snpt. o. G. Gregg intends to make
the coming Farmers Institute in
Princeton, by far the strongest and
most helpful, as we'll as entertaining
one, ever held in this place. Go, and
and you will find that this is no idle
boast. The best workers that money
can hire in the United States will be
there.
B Forest Henry of Minnesota, will ex-
plain his money-making system of
raising and feeding pigs, and his equal
IN this line simply cannot be found.
Corn must go with pigs, and he will
also tell you how last season he raised
more than three times as much per
acre, on ffty-ive acres, as farmers
generally had.
The noted Supt. of Maine Institutes,
y. W. McKeen, will handle the dairy
questions, such as methods, foods, rails
ing and feeding. Such men cost the
State money.
You will miss a rare treat if you do
not hear Henry VanDreser of New
York, tell how scrub stock kept him
poor, and better breeding paid for his
farm and made him famous the coun-
try over. Again, his original and en-
Pertaining way of telling about his
mammoth poultry plant, some 5000
laying hens, will be one Of the striking
features of this great meeting.
The ladies are not forgotten. They
will find many of the talks interesting,
but especially those of Mrs. W. F..
Wilcox.
Ohio's well-known clover and tillage
farmer, T. 3. Terry, will tell how he
made poor, rundown farm produce
large crops, getting the fertility prac-
tically for nothing from air and earth.
He has had thirty-two years. expert
ence in forcing nature to fill his pock-
cts, and twenty years Institute work
through fifteen States.
S. J. Fairfield of Iowa, knows potato
culture from A to 2, and will tell you
all about the latest and best methods.
And he will show pictures of several
valuable contrivances that are in use
on his farm; for example, gate, etc.,
that will let cattle and horses go out
OF yard and pigs and hogs are kept in.
Every session will be enlivened by
the popular songs of Prof. L. G. John
son, several of them new and COM
posed especially for the occasion.
You rarely have the chance TO listen
to so sweet singer, a graduate of two
great Conservatives of music.
Remember the days, and let no mem
Der of the family miss minute of any
session.
Morning sessions begin at 10; after
noon at 2 and prompt on time.

ST. Cloud Boy Killed in the Philippines.
The st. Cloud Journal-Press saws:
Newspaper dispatches tell of the
death from a Filipino bolo of ULYSSES
S. Gibbs of st. Paul, but serving as a
private in company E, of the ninth U.
S. infantry. Gibbs spent time in St.
Cloud back in the late eighties or early
nineties, being employed by the Tiles
ton milling company and having a
wide acquaintance from the fact that he
was first-class base ball pitcher. He
will be remembered as genial, good
natured fellow and in those sporty
days bore the cognomen of Smiling
Willie Gibbs for want of a better one
and from the further fact that few
knew that he had been christened with
the given name of the hero of the war
of the rebellion.
A letter dated Dec. 20, to the boys
sister in st. Paul, says: 1--WE were in
a detachment of sixteen men under
Capt. Schoeffel. We ran into an am
bush. The Filipinos jumped us with
their bolos. The captain and twelve
men were wounded. Seven of them
have died. We would all have been
killed If some native scouts hadn't ar
rived at the last minute. Your brother
fought as we'll and as brave as any
man could. He died soon and as easy

BEAULIEU AND HIS INDIANS.

He Takes Them to Washington and the
Indian Bureau is Good and Mad and
May Arrest the Indians and Send Them
Home.
A Washington report says: ''Gus
Beaulieu, who is here with the dele
cation of Mile Laos Indians, will ap-
pear before the committee and urge an
amendment TO the bill for the allot-
ment of eighty acres of agricultural
land to each Indian on Red Lake, Win
nebagoshish, Sandy Lake, Bots, Eos
ter and Mile Laos reservations.
There are 400 or 500 in these tribes
and it would take 800, 1000 acres from
the various reservations if Beaulieu's
proposition were adopted. It is op-
posed generally by friends of the Nor
ris bill, who do not hesitate to say that
Beaulieu is nothing but an agitator
and making the move so that he can
continue to make living out of the
Indians.
1.-THE Indian Bureau officials did not
learn that the delegation of Mile Laos
Indians was in Washington until Feb.
18th, and it is possible the members
will be arrested and sent back to the
reservation.
''Some time ago the Indians re-
quested permission to send a delega-
ton to Washington, but it was refused.
They came, however, of their own mo-
ton and without authority. The de-
partment officials blame Gus Beauleau
for having induced the Indians to come
here and are likely to haul him over

An Elk River Youth Had Trouble With his
Sweetheart and Went to Minneapolis to

Age and Sent Home and the Girl Married
Him.
The Big Lake Herald says: "John
Ophein, of Elk River, youth of
eighteen years, went to Minneapolis
last week and tried to enlist as SOL

he was twenty-one years of age. Ser
geant Franklin, doubling the state

young man was minor and that his
parents desired his detention until
Sheriff Brown should arrive and take
him home. Young Ophien said he had
trouble with his sweetheart, Miss NAL
VIVA Rasmussen, and that explained
his desire to enter the army and 20 far
