How Dom Paul Lost His Thumb.

The left thumb Of Paul Kruger Of
the Transvaal was lost through his
rifle exploding when he fired at a
r~hinoceros. He says: Next day u
people, guided by the track of my
horse, went to the spot and there they
found the %rhinoceros still alive, and,
following the trail Of blood. discovered
the remains of the rifle and my thumb.
Ny hand was in a horrible state. The
great veins were torn asunder. The
flesh was hanging in strips. | bled like
q slaughtered calf" Kruger made his
way to the wagons, where his wife and
sister-in-law were sitting by the fire.
The sister-in-law pointed to his hand.
Look what fat game Brother Paul has
been shooting" she said, and that was
all. They went home. Kruger took
out his knife and cut across the ball
OF the thumb, removing as much as
was necessary. Then they killed a
goat, took out the stomach and cut it
open. l put my hand into it while it
was warm" and thus was the wound
healed"

the names of two new shoes which are
conceded to reach the height of perfec.
ton in shoe making.
The successful originator OF these two
lines Of perfect shoes is the u. Mayer
Boot & Shoe Co., of Milwaukee, Wis.
This name will be sufficient to assure
most of our readers Of the quality of
these goods. A great many are already
familiar with the high standing and
good wearing features of Mayer shoes,
while thousands have been impressed by
the straightforward, persistent advertis-
ing done by this firm in all the principal
publications throughout the country.
Mayer shoes have a high standing
among shoes dealers and are recommend
ed by them as giving the greatest sa6s-
faction Of any shoes in the market. The
new shoes will surpass in style, fit and
durability anything the Mayer Boot 81
Shoe Co. have ever placed on the mar
ket.
In announcing these new lines, it is
hoped that every reader will take careful
note of the advertisements of Homo
bilt" and Western Lady" shoes and
when next in need Of shoes, make a re-
quest upon the dealer for one of these
new brands.
The "Honorbilt' for men is that sub
stantial, nobby and fashionable kind that
every man who is at all DESTROYS of being
well dressed will search for. Made in a
variety of designs, for exclusive business
or dress wear, or as appropriate for all
uses, it has features that appeal to ev-
cry man.
The Western Lady" for women will
quickly become recognized as the prop
er shoe for ladies', as it embOdies all that
appeals to a woman when she seeks the
ideal shoe for her use. The beautiful
design and graceful lines delight the fas-
tidiOus taste of the fair sex. Made from
the ~softest, select upper feathers and the
most flexible and durable sole feathers,
they are endowed with wearing and COM
fort qualities that afford a world of salts
faction.
If your dealer does not happen to have
the 'HonOrbilt" or Western Lady"
shoes to show you write to the Il. Mayer
Boot q Shoe Co., Milwaukee, Wis, and
they will inform you where to get them.

CHATTER XIV.

One day Mr.. Montgomery invited me
to pay a visit to the Royal Corintliian
Theater. There had been a time when
no proposition could have been so de-
lightful to me; but since those days /
had scared into higher regions Of ideal
ity than the theater could represent New
ertiieiess, / accepted the invitation, and
one evening / accompanied him and Jo-
siah.
While I was standing in the side
scenes, looking at the play, some stran-
gers came through q private door that
led from the boxes. They were gentle
men. dressed in full evening costume.
After a casual glance l again gave my
attention to the stage. Presently |
heard q voice close behind me, whose
tones sounded familiar in my ears. Turn
ing round, | saw one of the gentlemen
talking to an actress. In an instant l
recognized Mr.. Rodwell. 1t was a shock,
in which, for an instant, / forgot the

should recognize me. But soon began

/ screwed up my courage, and turned
round to leave the spot, when, just as l
was brushing past the object of my
fears, adverse fortune brought Josiah
Cook across my path
"Hello. Silas. old fellow, how are YOU
enjoying yourself?' he cried, as he pass
ed me.
~Instinctivefy I cast a glance upon Mr..
Rodwell. l saw him start and look me
full in the face. A row Of gaslights
leaning against the side scene glarcd
full upon us both. His gaze dwelt upon
me for an instant, but he gave no sign
of recognition, and went on talking as be-
fore. I fondly hoped that he did not re-
member ne.
Quick Gu the heels of Josiah followed
Mr.. Montgomery. He nodded to me,
and was passing on when, observing Mr..
Rodwell, he stopped suddenly, stared at
him for a moment, then, clapping his
hand upon his shoulder. cried in q IA

like ones, until. in a short time, / could
perceive that she looked forward to my
coming with expectancy, and that my
presence had become a thing almost nec-
essary to her. She looked for me to hand
her the painting materials, to grind the
c%olors, to select her skeins of wool, to
sit at her feet and read to her some
pleasant book; while. between the lights,
she would sit at the piano and impro-
wise strange, weird, ~plaintive melodies.
1t was a strange communion, ours. In
it we lived only in the present moment.
We never spoke Of a past or OF a flu
ture, for we wished to be happy; and,
to both, the past was hideous, the fu-
ture ominous. Thus | knew nothing Of
her past life, nor did | wish to know.
Like her, | did not wish the happiness
OF the present to be marred by one pain

She had lived with Mrs. Wilson above

she Fought FOR a Lire.

Nurses are among the heroic fighters
of the world. The Contagious Hospi-
tai at North Brother Island, New York,
has recently been the scene of a brave
sacrifice on the part of a young nurse
who displayed that love than which
no man hath greater. She gave up her
life to a that of a child. The New
York Sun tells the story:
AT the Polytechnic Hospital a little
girl developed an alarming form Of
scarlet fever. 1t was necessary to
remove her to North Brother Island,
aud Miss Mailer, a graduate of the
Rochester University and the City
Hospital Training-School, volunteered
to go into exile with her. At the is
land diphtheria developed and the case
seemed hopeless. For two weeks, night
and day, the untiring nurse fought,
single-handed, and through her won
\ derful skill and unselfish devotion, at
the end sf taat time the little patient
vas out of danger.
Then the two grim diseases attack
ed the faithful caretaker, and worn
out by the long and c~easeless vigil,
she had no strength with which to re-
sist them.
She refused to be removed to better
quarters, and there, in the very place
where she had conquered for the lit
tie, unknown girl, sha fought another
battle, and this time was overcome.
Like every brave nurse, she had taken
the risk, knowing and counting well
the cost, and she accomplished her
purpose, for the child was saved.

CURIOUS FISH
Rare Specimen Of Finny Tribe
Secured Last Week at
Grand Rapids.

A fish was taken at the pulp
mill dam at Grand Rapid, last
Thursday that is quite a curos-
.ity. The fish was taken by IL.
M. Merryman after about TWEEN
ty-four minutes Of hard fighting.
The fish weighed about eight
pounds and it's body was long
and shapely with large scales.
The dorsal fin extended from the
middle Of the back to the tail 4
The tail was rounded like a
horseshoe with the ends for the
muscular part, and in color it's
back much resembled trout,
while underneath it was bright
green. This is a fish very sell
dom seen in these water, its
home being farther north, and
even there, in small numbers.
The Latin name for this fish is
piscatorius tructa creme, or
grecn.bellied trout. Mr. Merry
man has this fish on exhibition at
his residence.

. Word comes from Cass Lake

new town Of Richards has been
50 sustained the interior depart:
ment.
Between the towns of Richards
and Bena there has been a sharp
rivalry, not without bitterness at
times. Both towns are on the
reservation and this fact gave rise
to all the complications.
A short time agoa well-knoWn
sCass Lake gentleman who isin-
terested in the TOWNSHIP Of Rich
ards, went to Washing ton andshis
special mission was to have the
interior department delay the
ejectment proceedings until an
investigation Of the actual condi
tions could be made. 1t now APP
pears that the Investigation has

must stand.
There is deep chagrin among
the promoters Of the Richards
townsite and a like degree Of joy
in camp at Bena, where the town
site promoters claim to have been
shamefully manipulatedandd down
.trodden.
The decision of the interior de-
partment is substantially to the
effect thatthe Richards residents
are squatters without right on
the reservation and an order will
probably be made for their re
smoval forthwith. In anticipation
of this fact the Richards men.
are already busy. They do not
propose to give up the fight and

Deal For Purchase of
House Tomorrow,
i. P. HANNIFIN TO RETIRE
FROM BUSSINESS.

present owner, to ]. N. Mark
ham who built the house and for
merry conducted tits announced
today. The transfer will not be
completed until tomorrow butan
agreement has been reached and
all the details will be adjusted as
soon as possible.
r. P. Hannitin, who came to
the city last October and pur-
chased the house will retire from
business in Bemidji for the pres
#ent. His plans for the future
are not yet decided and while he
may go to the Pacific coast to
make his home he has not yet
definitely decided to leave
Bemidji.
Mr.. Hannifin is a capab bic bust
ness man and since coming to Be
midi has made many friends who
will be pleased to learn ofshis fu-
;ture success in anything that he
may desire to undertake. He did.
not bring to the hotel business
the experience that he felt neces-
sary after a trial, but he has cyl.
denced his faith in Bemidji by
investments here and as a public
spirited citizen he is of the sort
that any city should be proud to
have.
Mr.. Markham is one Of Be
midji's pioneer citizens and has
always been jealous partizan for
its welfare. "A short time ago he
decided to build a new hotel in
this city and with plans complet-
ed and the contract let he was
suddenly taken seriously i'll and
compelled to abandon the project.
He does not feel, however, chat
he is ready to step down and out
Of business life, and his decision
to purchase the house which he
conducted so long and with such
success will be a source Of graft
tication to his many friends.
Mr.. Markham Willnpt assume
the active personal management
Of the house for the present, but
will take charge as soon as his
health, which has been improv-
ing, will permit.
The sale of the house in view Of
the many rumors regarding the
local hotel business prevalent for
the past few weeks. will be a sur.
prise to the public generally.
