A Mean Revenge.

Pine Ridge settlement had promised
to be a fourishlng community. The
settlers were unusually industrious,
for the backwoods, and generous
clearings and comfortable shanties
adorned each quarter section. But a
strange lethargy seized the people, dis
cord took the place of fraternity, and
idleness supplanted industry. The
deplorable change came with the ad-
vent of ragged half-breed, Deer
Hagby. He borrowed q spade one
night and sneaked with stealthy steps
into the woods. He returned TO the
store a few days later with a hopeless
"jag' and an empty whiskey jug. In
drunken confidence he told the gaping
crowd a great secret.
"Et's dis way, boys. Hudson Fur
Company haf trading post here feefty
year go-long time gone. He bury in
ground one jug whiskey, one barrel
rum, an 60 way. Me know, me find
out. Me come to git. Me find jug, no
fnd barrel. Barrel one mile from Jug.
Under pine tree, two cross on tree.
Come, look; you get rum too"
Hank, Grinolshad once owned q
claim short distance from the stor e,
but had lost 1t by contest. It was on
this cl aim that the half-breed pointed
out the hole fl ON which he had un-
earthed the jug. For a mile in every
direction the settlers searched for the
pine tree with the two crosses. The
saw mill shut down, the store was
closed, all improvement work was sus
pended, and the entire community
turned out in search of the rum. Grub
hoes, spades and shovels werein great
demand. The settlers deserted their
claims and camped upon the ground
which promised such rich find
Within a circle OF mile the ground
was we'll prodded beneath every pine
tree. So eager were the searchers
that violence was often employed, and
the strongest man won the right to ex-
anime the foot of tree after driving
back other contestants. From a peace
full settlement, Pine Ridge became one
where bloody nose and black eye
7ere the distinguishing virtues.

Strangers arrived and jumped y the
claims of some owners who were too
thirsty to notice the intrusion.
When months OF search we're un-
availing, Deer Hagby suddenly re-
membered that the sought-for tree
was not pine, but birch. After the
roots of every birch in the specified
circle We're exposed, he had another
vision-the barrel tree was two miles,
instead Of one mile, from the spot
where the jug was found. The search
wen t on with greater vigor and more
strangers came and claimed the aban-
doned home, of the whiskey hunters.
The search continued months after
Deer had disappeared. 1t only ended
when a letter was received from Hank
Grinolshad. II lost my claim" he
wrote, through the meanness of Pine
Ridge settlers, and in payment you
have lost valuable time in vain
hunt The half-breed was carrying
out my revenge. The jug of whiskey
was buried by my self, and Deer got it.
The barrel of rum is still in the Hud-
son Bay eompany's warehouse at Fort
Fra ncis. Help yourselves. ....

It ought to be illegal for a ply
sician to guarantee the cure OF
uncurable diseases, just as much
as it is illegal for any other man
to receive money under false pre-
tense. All any physician can do
is to remove the cause, and ma
ture must do the rest. Some
physicians advertise ''Consump-
ton cured in sixty days." and all
such rot, and victims usually re-
sort to such doctors and pay
them their money as a last meas
ure, and when the disease fin
ishes it's work the same guaran-
tee is transferred to the next VIC
tim. Honest doctors tell the truth
and do the best they can.

Official County and City Paper,

Funkley's "Inferno' in the
last issue of the Blackduck
Amesican serves we'll to show to
what state a mind may be
brought when the human nerves
are held at a tension too hlgh
over the carcass Of an issue that
was too strong. Funkley like
any enterprising lawyer, under
similar circumstances, wanted
the county divided, and wanted
his home town for county seat,
but the voters didn't see it that
way and the measure was de-
feated. Now Funkley publishes
his sInferno," using Satan and
Sylvester as characters setting
forth the evil that exists in Be
midi. While we quite agree
with the author that Bemidji is
not without fault, we insist t.lat
our critic is not living in the
midst of saints as whole. The
Inferno" resembles Dante's
work, with the exception that in

must be in a condition similar to

WEEDS.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible. @s. "r, -
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
tion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
