When he reached Hambright he
felt sure of a letter from her. A
strange joy filled his heart.
Il have either got letter OF
she's writing one to me this min
ute!" he exclaimed.
He went to the postofice IN a
state of exhilaration. The letter
was not there. But it did not de-
press him.
"It is on the way" he quickly
said.
For two days he remained in
that condition Of tense nervous
excitement and expectation, and
on the follwing day he opened his
box and found his letter!
Il knew It'll" he said with a thrill
of joy that was half awe at the
remarkable confirmation he had
received of their sympathy.
He hurried TO his Office and
read the big precious message.
How its words burned into his
soul! Every line seemed alive
with .Iherl spirit. How beautiful
the sight of her handwriting! He
kissed it again and again. He
read with bated breath. The adj
dress was double expressive, be-
cause it contained the first words
of abandoned tenderness with
which she had ever written to
him, except in the concealed mes
sage dotted in the note that broke
thei earlier correspondence.

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart troubie
can remember when II was simple indiges-
ton. Il Is scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not onlv
traceable to, but are the direct result Of indi.
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which falls OF perfect digestion ferments and
sweils the stomach, putting 1t up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart, and In the course of time thai
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

only $1.65 per annum.
The daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Beltrami Co., Minn.) 1903-1904, 1903-04-25

in buying the land, Mr.. Street
said he was impressed with the
opinion that Bemidji would in a
short time-say four or five years
have population of 10000 or
$4,000 people, and if it. does SIS
an acre is small price to pay
for a tract like the Doud land. He
said he would go over it carefully
with competent civil engineer
and park specialist, and endeavor
to lay it out in SO attractive a
manner that it will add to the al
ready established reputation Of
Bemidji as a place of beauty.
While he did not say as much, it
is barely possible he may create
a village park out of Diamond
Point. and itishis intention atany
rate to build a good residence for
himself, facing eastward from the
first bench of land lying next to
Diamond Point.

A $4,000 SALE.
The Famous Doud Farm Goes to
W. F. Street Of Bemidji..-
$40. 600 Deal Closed.

w 8. Street today closed a
deal with Mr.. and Mrs. Free
man ID. Doud for what has been
known as the Freeman Doud
farm, adjoining Bemidji TOWNSHIP
on the north; at a consideration
of $4,000. He gets 1856 acres OF
land in the deal, Mr.. and Mrs.
Doud reserving their home place
of about an acre on Diamond
Point. The Douds had hereto
fore sold to other parties six
acres fronting on the lake front,
but Mr.. Street gets almost a half
mile of frontage and over a half
mile bordering on the north. The
exact description of the land con-
veyed is the south half of south
west q uarter and lots four and
five in section four, township one
hundred and forty-six, range
thirty-three. This is the heav-
lest transaction that has ever
taken place in Bemidji real estate,
not even excepting the Crooks
ton Lumber company mill site.
Mr.. and Mrs. Doud have oc-
cupied this land for twelve years,
it being his homestead under
the United States land laws. 1t
is one of the handsomest tracts
of land in Minnesota, and last
summer was thought at one
time to have gone into the hands
the Bemidji Townsite company
at a consideration Of $4,000.

No one knew how many times he had
been married and no one would credit
his own extravaganza count. The peo-
pie of Sand Hill settlement simply
called him the Mormon" and let it
go at that. Dell Brander was noted
for his passion for pumpkin pies and
his marrying. When he brought home
his latest wife we all shook our heads
wisely and viewed the woman sadly.
She was a sad eyed, meak little
woman. AS The months sped by the
shadows beneath her eyes took on

her energies into making his favorite
pie, and patiently she saw him MUNICH

faints under unjust criticism, and
patience dies beneath the blows of UNI
concern. Dell took as much pleasure
ia calling UP the ghosts of his former
wives as he found in eating.
How do you like the pies, she
would timidly ask.
"Middling,n he would answer with
a snarl, ''but hope you do not call
it punkin. 1t tastes more like an old

QUEER PROCEEDING,

A SOUTH DAKOTA NAN has filed an
A unusual suit against a saloonkeep-
err. The action is based on personal in
juries. The plaintiff became intoxicated
On whisky sold him by the defendant
and. while IN a befuddled condition.
started for home. On the way he laid
down TO rest and nearly froze 70 death.
Before he recovered IL was necessary
to amputate three Of his fingers.
Tt is not at all probable that he viii
recover any damages. Indeed, he should
not recover. His drunkenness was en-
tirely the result Of his own act. The
saIOOnkeeper did not force him to buy
the whisky, nor was the plaintiff forced
10 start home when he did. Il is d
common rule of law that when con-
tributory negligence can be clearly es-
tRblished a recovery cannot be had.
Certainly In this instance the plain
tiff. on the statement Of facts as pub
lished, was guilty Of contributory neg
Hgence. The defendant may not have
been altogether blameless- He may
have urged the plaintiff TO buy and
drink the whisky after he had passed
the stage where his power of resistance
was strong. He may even have known
that the plaintiff was an inebriate. but
that does not excuse. the plainun.
He had no business taking the first
drink. It is unfortunate for him that
he lost his three fingers. but if he had
omitted few of the many three fin
gers he purchased from the saloon
keeper he would not have lost his
digits. There are cases in plenty where
judgments should be recovered against
whisky sellers, but this is not one of
them.
The woman who loses her husband
through the drink habit should have
recourse in law against the man who
sells whisky 20 her husband, especial
ly after she has warned the proprietor
Of the saloon not to let the man have
any intoXicants. There are instances
on record where damages have been
recovered, justly. No man. however,
should attempt to evade the responsi-
bility for his own undoing
We may not, in the literal sense, be
our brothers keepers, but we are at
least the keepers as well as the build
ers Of our own characters.

A WIRELESS JOURNAL.

THE HERALD has received the first
L number Of the most unique news
paper published IN the world This
seems a rather large assertion, but Il is
unquestionably true. The paper is the
Wireless, published by the Los Angeles
Times at Avalon, on Catalina island.
AS its name indicates. the WiHeless is
a newspaper which has been made pos
sible by the introduction Of wireless
teIegraphy
Santa Catalina island is twenty miles
Off the coast Of southern California.
For years its people have been without
a daily newspaper. More. they did not
receive the California papers for some
hours after their publication, so that
their news was always old. Recently
wireless system was established be-
tween Santa Catalina and the main
land by the Pacihc Wireless Telegraph
company.
The enterprising management Of the
Los Angeles Times found the rest easy.
A newspaper outfit was sent over to
the island and, on the morning Of
March %. the people Of Avalon had
their own daily newspaper. The copy
received by The Herald has an accu-
rate condensation Of all the important
news of the day 'wirelessed" across
the water. 1t also contains a good deal
Of local news and Is in every way a
worthy production.
We wish the Wireless the full meas
ure Of success it deserves and we desire
also to extend congratulations to the
Times for its enterprise.

ALL FOOLS DAY.

IF YOU SEE a fat pocketbook on the
i pavement in front Of you as you
90 10 your office this morning. don't
pick IT up. 1t may have S2S,965.22
tucked away inside of IL, but then
again it may not have so much. IN
deed. the chances are that the Tat
purse would assay something like 80
per cent waste paper and I per cent
badly worn leather. More. there may
even be a string attached 10 H. with
small boy at the other end. And you
may be sure that the small boy VIII
yank the string at the psychological
EIcment.
If your wife fond.y puts her arms
around your neck tnis morning al
breakfast and softly suggests tAaa she
needs an Easter bonnet and that IL
would be- a shame 20 let I'll the various
stocks be picked TO pieces before she
gets a chance at them. don't pay any
attention to her. she doesn't want an
Easter bonnet az ALL she is only try
ing TO April Fool you. The small son
may ask for a few dimes with which to
purchase tops. marbles. base5ails and
the Ike. the season for those things
having opened. 1t is up 20 you TO April
Fool him.
Perhaps. while walking along the
street. somebody win shout: Hey
mister, you've dropped your pocket
book" It is not unlikely that you have
actually dropped It and that 1t con-
tains much money and other valuables-
However. you must be dignihed. You
cannot afford 20 take any chances.
When you hear the call. just square
your shoulders back. look digniied and
hurry right along. II IS always better
10 lose your money than to suffer
loss Of dignity.
This All Fools day is a rather an
cient institution. but every year il finds
fresh victims being caught by tresher
jozers. Some historians tell us that
the custom OF playing tricks upon peo-
pie or sending them on foolish errands
on April ] dates back to the Roman
Feast Of Fools. which would make it
about as old as the oldest Joke our
minstrel friends give us. Another the
Org is that it is-the OutgroWth of the
Hull festival among the Hindus.
No matter where or when the prac-
tce originated. 1t affords a good deal
of cheap amusement for a great many
people, and as IL rarely harms any
body, we may as wen make the most
of It, The only trouble about being
April Fooled Is that you never know
whether you are being April Fooled or
not until it is all over. The man who
is warned to step out Of the way Of a
runaway team doesn't have time TO
stop and figure out whether a runaway
team is coming or not. 1t is up TO him
does it.
