ing the lake. Such an institu-
ton would receive a liberal pat
ronage during the summer
months, and if it was not stu
ated too far from the center of
town might easily be made to be
a paying proposition in winter
time.
A hotel Of this sort, properly
advertised, would be a paying
proposition and would bring a
great many people Of a desirable
class to Bemidji. They would
come not only from all parts of
this state, but from Wisconsin
and the Dakotas as well. Lake
Bemidji has the reputation of
being the most beautiful lake IN
the state, and all it lacks to make
it the most pop ular summer re-
sort in Minnesota, or any of the
surrounding States, is one or
more modern summer hotels,
with energetic men acquainted
with the ms and outs of the bust
ness behind them to give the
proper attention to their running.
Bemidji is cool, with a whole
some climate and plenty of beau
tiful scenery. There is no rea-
son why it should not rank with
the leading summer resorts of
the west. Only the other day a
prominent citizen of the town re-
ceived a letter from an acquaint-
ance in Minneapolis making in
quiries relative to the hotel &C
commodations here for summer
boarders, and stating that the
writer had heard that Lake Be
midi has the reputation Of being
the prettiest sheet of water in
the state, located in the coolest
and most attractive region. The
inquiries were made with view
to spending a summer vacation
here. One of the requirements
set forth in the letter, however,
was that the hotel must be facing
the lake and commanding a good
view Of it. Other people about
town have received similar com
munications.
Bemidji has some excellent,
thoroughly up-to-date hotels,
which are a credit to the town,
but they are not rightly located
to ever become popular as sum-
mer resorts.

nUlnUI TO MEET
FLEETS CHAMPION

The boxing program for Christmas
night has received a star addition in
the shape of a contest between Jack
Ward, champion lightweight Of the
fleet, and Bill Huihui the local cham
pion, who defeated Latham twice and
put De Lyle out of business.
This contest will undoubtedly prove
most exciting. Ward is admittedly
clever and will be fighting for the
honor Of the fleet while Huihui, whose
quickness, pluck and ability to hit
hard have been most conclusively DEM
onstrated, will do his best to hold up
the Islands. Paddy Ryan of the
Brooklyn saloon, will referee this as
well as the other bouts.
Taking the program at large with
two main events, the exhibition be-
tween Barry and Patton and Huihui
VS.. Ward. together with four other
first class and evenly matched con-
tests, seems the strongest yet offered
the Honolulu public.
The seat sale opens this morning at
the Orpheum box office at prices rang

THE ONLY LIVING EX-PRESI-
DENT

Mr.. Cleveland has lived in the time
of more administrations than any one
who has ever been President. He was
born in 1887. In that year Martin Van
Buren, was inaugurated President, con-
sequently Mr.. Cleveland has lived in the
administrations of Van Buren,, the short
term of William Henry Harrison and
the remainder of the term to which Ty-
Ter succeeded; also in the administrations
of Polk, Taylor, fillmore, Pierce, Blu
chanan, Lincoln, Johnson. two terms of
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Benja-
min Harrison, Mckinley, and thus far in
the administration of Roosevelt-in all,
eighteen, and, including his own, twen-
ty.
Mr.. Cleveland has not only lived in
the administrations mentioned, but he
has lived to see six Vice Presidents sue
coed to the Presidency, three of them,
Johnson, Arthur and Roosevelt, coming
to the White House through the assas-
sination of their predecessors. The 9TH
ers were Van Buren,, Tyler and Fill
more.
The fact that Mr.. Cleveland is the on
ly President WHO succeeded himself four
years after his first administration is
well known, and is to be added to the
other unusual things about his political
life.

WHO PAYS FOR THE CoAT7

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. ia
business man of this city went into a
clothing store this week and looked at
a number of overcoats. He departed
without making a purchase, but went
back the next morning and, walking to
the counter where the coats lay, picked
up one he had tried on the day before.
I've concluded to take this" he said,
and handing out SIS, walked out, wear
ing the coat
When he reached home he learned that
his brother had sent him an overcoat as
a present SO the next morning the man
went back to the clothing store and ask
ed the clerk if he would take the coat
back, explaining the reason. The record
OF sale was looked up, but a patient
search failed to reveal any sale ticket.
The clerk who had shown the coat re-
called that, but not the sale.
Who sold the coat? This was the
question in which the proprietor was in
terested, and every clerk in the store was
called, but the purchaser shook his head
as each appeared. Finally it dawned
upon the man that some one who prob
ably was looking at the overcoats when
he entered had taken the SIS and then
had left the store.
Ehen the proprietor demanded that
the, coat be paid for or that it be left
at the store, saying that the firm had
received nothing for it. After some
controversy it was decided to leave it
to a lawyer who is a mutual friend of
proprietor and purchaser The attorney
is now investigating the question, Who
should lose the $a5?
