AN AUTUMN LAY.


AN AUTUMN LAY
Autumn is when. in the morning,
With scarcely no clothes on yourself.
You shiv'ringly search through the
closet
For warm buds to cover your pelf.
When ''goose-bumps" adOrn you in
plenty,
The pain in your nose makes you cry.
Yes, that is the beautiful Autumn.
Dire warning OF Winter close by
But-then. then, in the afternoon.
You are so hot, so hot that you fry.
You hunt a shirt waist.
Some cool drink to taste
As the beautiful Autumn goes by.

FRESH PLEDGE OF PEACE.
Recent Meeting of Gar and Empero
William.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 6.-The meet
ing of the car and Emperor William
at Wiesbaden Wednesday is comment
ed on by the newspapers here as being
fresh pledge of the preservation of
general peace. The Novosti's remarks
attract especial attention as they reit-
crate the suggestion of an Anglo-Rus-
siau Impeachment, which has been
recently mooted by some Russian pub
licists. The Novosti contests the idea
that Russia and Great Britain must
remain rivals and says the clearest
proof OF this is found in Great Brit
AIMS absolutely peaceful policy and
the influence she has exercised on
japan in the present Russian-Japanese
differences.

The Pioneer is glad to note
that others are also moving in the
direction of national aid for the
drainage of northern Minnesota
lands and that the introduction
of a billin congress as urged by
the Pioneer some days ago pro
vidinag for an appropriation for
drainage will undoubtedly be
made. We may rest assured
that Congressman STEVENSON,
Buchanan and Bede will use their
every endeavor to push such a
bill through.

The Pioneer is pleased to know
that its efforts to give Bemidji

tions of the Pioneer attest the
fact that the people of northern

LEARNING THE TRUTH.

The misapprehension which
exists among people otherwise
well informed in regard to the
quality and kind Of agricultural
lands in the vicinity OF Bemidji is
something to be marveled at.
Ninety nine people out of every
one hundred believe that the ter
ritory tributary to Bemidji is
pure jack pine soil and they are
more or less sceptical as to the
virtue of jack pine lands for agri-.
cultural purposes.
Leaving the discussion of jack
pine lands for farming for the
future the Pioneer wishes to
point out how great is the error
into which the general public has
fallen with regard to the lands of
this section. Bemidji itself is
situated upon a narrow strip Of
sandy land but to the south and
to the north is as fine black loan
as one can see in travelling across
the continent. Three miles south
Of Bemidji and five miles north
finds the finest farming lands in
the world.
South of Bemilji are broad
acres of black loan. with a clay
subsoil extending all through
northern Hubbard county and
west to the Red River Valley.
North of Bemidji to the inter-
national boundary line are found
the same lands. More to be de-
sired are these lands than the
famed lands of the Red River
Valley, for the latter are treeless
prairies, while the Beltrami
county lands are timbered with
the finest oak, birch and other
hard woods.
When the land hungry from
Iowa, Illinois and other states to
the south of, us learn the truth
concerning Beltrami county lands
there will be such rush to this
section as hernMinnesota has
never yet seen.

Enforcing Blue Laws.

Philadelphia, March 1S.-The Penn
sylvania Sunday "Blue Laws OF 1874
have been enforced recently against
cigar and candy dealers who customarily
keep their stores open on Sunday.
These small merchants now have banded
together with the purpose of securing
the passage of bill now pending in
the legislature aiming to repeal the
ancient legislation. The first important
move was made today, when employees
of three daily newspapers issuing Sun
dsy editions were arraigned before
Magistrate German, charged with violat-
ing the same statutes as that under
which the cigar and candy sellers have
been prosecuted. The hearing went
over until Monday afternoon. 1t is
claimed that the newspapers with Sum
day and Monday editions, work their
employees about IA or 10 hours out
of the "a on the Sabbath. The arrests
were made in an amicable spirit, and
not through spite. The purpose is to
demonstrate the widespread offensive
legal possibilities of the old law.
