HOW TO GET YOUR PRICE.

A college graduate recently wrote
n complaint of the public taste and
bewailed his fate because of it.
He said he had spent eight years
in preparation since he left the pub
lie schools but no one is seeking his
services. That his only chance is to
begin as il day laborer or as Il clerk
At the same time he said he knew u
young man who quit the public
schools in the sixth grade who was
making $40 Il day by diving twice
daily from the top of II siXty-foot
ladder into il tank
Sure.
The public is not Interested in this
collegian's plant. A portion of it is
quite willing to pay its money to see
"A high diver risk his neck. 1t seeks
to be thrilled and pays accordingly.
The college man ought to learn
from the diver this lesson: The
world of today is asking young men
not, what do you know? but, what
can you do?
The diver can do something. He
does his stunt and gets his $40. The
collegian cannot do it and therefore
cannot get the $40.
Moreover, this diver can do his job
better than anyone else. And the
world requires that of the successful
man.
And just here is where the college
training comes in. Presumably it
sharpens mans mind so that he
can do things better than the man
whose mind is not sharpened.
Let this college graduate begin at
the bottom where all must begin
day labor or clerking, or what not.
His $40 day will come to him when
he can do something better than auy
other. When he learns to write bet
ter, or speak better, or manage bet
ter than his fellows he will get his
price.
But If he scorns to begin at the
bottom he will never catch up with
the diver and his $40 day.

CONCEALED WEAPONS.

That the carrying of concealed
weapons is responsible for a very
large proportion OF the murders
which are taking place in Florida no
one who reads the newspapers can
doubt.
The carrying of concealed deadly
weapons is regarded as so detrimeu-
tai to the public welfare that it has
been placed under the ban of the law.
rhe statutes of Florida make it a
misdemeanor punishable by fine OF
not less than 800, while in aggravat-
ed cases it may be made even higher.
Undoubtedly in every county many
lives. as well as a vast amount of
criminal costs, would be saved in
the course of the year if this law
were strictly enforced.
A large percentage OF the murders
and other shootimgs are done while
the perpetrator is in Il passion Had
not weapon been ready ut hand, in
most cases anger would have subsid
ed in few minutes and reason would
have prevailed.
Besides those officers whose duty
It is to carry concealed weapons,
many people undoubtedly carry them
who could furnish neither II good eX-
cuse nor permission from the au-
thOritirs.
The law gives the county commits
sioners authority to grant certain
persons II permit to carry pistols, but
not concealed pistols. Very many
persons to whom these permits are
issued do not seem to understand
this. They should be made to know.

A correspondent in the Field con
tributes an extraordinary instance of
intelligence In the Royal park, Mel
bourne, Australia. He was watching
some monkeys in large cage when
one of them came to the front and
tried TO reach q nut which had been
thrown and was lying on the gravel
path. Putting its arms through the
bars and stretching as far as possible
it found that the nut was just beyond
its reach There was straw on the floor
of the cage and going to the back
where it evidently expected to find the
straw less damaged, it tested straw
after straw. discarding them one by
one, not thinking them strong enough
for the purpose At last it found a sat
isfactory one, returned with it TO the
front of the cage and very quickly with
this aid hooked the nut close enough to
be pick ed up.

SAM JONES AND HUMANITY

Most of you have heard of Sam
Jones Not the Sam who prrachrS
an admixturr Of gospel and billings
gate, but the one who regulated his
life by the Golden Rule, and who re-
Gently went to his reward.
He has been dead some weeks, and
from the public estimate of his life,
as voicrd in the papers of the coun-
try, it is easy to believe that Sam
Jones was a successful man.
Not in matters of finance. He had
some mQney--enOugh to feed him,
clothe him, keep his business going
and a share for good works-but he
was not rich in the latter day mean
ing of the word.
Nor was he powerful, as We speak
of money kings, governors, senators
and presidents being powerful. He
was mayor of Il thriving city; that is
all that can be said for official powers
He was successful because of the
great heart that throbbed in his
breast. He had IA tender feeling for
the plain people, and he tried to live
rs he preached.
Why, that man believed that every
body should have a chance, He be-
lieved that in the homes of the most
lowly there should be some sunshine
and laughter and happiness, and
that those things could best be Sc
cured by mixing into the affairs of
everyday life, whether they had to
do with the house or the workshop,
these words:
"Therefore all things whatsoever
We would that men should do to you,
do We even so to them.
Some of the big men of business
called him a crank. They said he
would destroy trade; that the lines
between those who work and those
who employ must be sharply drawn ;
that he was a destroyer Of discipline.
But he had the courage to take his
ideas into his own factory, and dem
onstrate that they would work out
that it was possible to be kind and
sympathetic in business, and still
show profit at the end of the year.
When Sam Jones walked the
streets of Toledo the men who We're
at work in the sewer trench smiled
mt him. They liked his hearty Good
Morning; boys" they enjoyed the
clasp of his strong hand. Some how,
they realized that his h cart was in it.
And children by the. thousand
knew him for a friend. They felt
that he was their Mr. Jones'" They
carried flowers to him, they went out
of their way on the road to school to
meet him. You cannot fool children.
They can surely tell human gold.
Perhaps Toledo was no better gov
erned than the average city. But
the common people, the majority,
felt that they had Il voice in the gov
eminent and a mayor who understood
them. So they loved him.
Yes, Sam Jones was successful
man. The monument he builded in
human hearts attests that fact.

MURDER in THE
FIRST DEGREE
Jury in Chounard Murder
Trial Returns Verdict
This Morning.
JUDGE SPOONER PASSES SEN.
TlENCE AT SIX TONlGH tt
Man Who Murdered His Wife
While Intoxicated May
Hang for Crime.

The jury in the Chounard muir
der case, which has been before
the district court at Walker dur
ING all Of this week, returned a
verdict Of murder in the first de-
cree at 8 o'clock this morning
after being out for eighteen
hours.
Chounard and his attorney, a.
T. Larson, Of Brainerd, were
present When-the verdict was
announced. The defendant bore
up well. He had pleaded mental
responsibility caused by exces,
sive drinking and while he did
not expect acquittal he and his
attorneys had hoped for a yer.
dict in the second degree and
after the jury had remained out
until last night a disagreement
was considered as a possibility.
Judge Spoener announced that
he would pass sentence at SIX
O'Clock this evening The crime
of which Chounard is convicted
was committed at Cass Lake last
January. Chounard quarreled
with his wife, Dora Chounard, in
a house Of i'll fame. and fatally
shot her. He was in state Of
beastly intoxication at the time,
but has little sympathy from
those who are familiar with all
the circumstances.
Murder in the first degree is
punishable by life imprisonment
or hanging Chounard may

BOULEVARD PLAN
FINDS FAVOR
Spirited Discussion Among
Property Owners Over
Street Repairs.
THREE PRINCIPAL AVENUES
-tMAY BE BOULEyARDED.
i
Would Reduce the Cost Of Paving
in the Future and Makes
Good appearance.

Property owners on Bemldll,
Minnesota and Beltrami avenues
are engaged in an interesting dis
cussion as to whether or not it
would be advisable to boulevard
all three avenues from Fifth
street north, and at this time,
when many improvements are
being contemplated to the city
streets, the time to settle the
question defnitely=is =believed=to
be at hand.
IfBemidiji's growth the past
five years may be taken as q
criterion Of the progress which It
will make during the next five
one Of thesiimprovements that will
be witnessed in that time will be
the paving of the streets Of the
city. TIE expense of paving will
fan upon the property owners
and the boulevard plan offers the
inducement Of decreased expense
in paving
a boulevarded street is one on
which a grass plot extends from
the sidewalk to the curb. 1t may
be of various widths, according
to the prevailing demand. In
many Of the newer cities in the
west boulevarded streets have
been constructed during the past
twenty years. They give avery
pleasing appearance to any city
and the only question is whether
or not the plan is agreed on by all
the property owners.
Late last fall there was a petit
ton before the city council ask
ING that Bemid jiavenue be boule-
varded from Fifth street north.
No action was taken in the mat
ter as the petition came too late
in the season to require immed1-
ate attention and the various
members Of the council desired
to look the. matter up and saw
the possibility of their authority
being relegated to other shout
ders before the time came for
action.
Many think that a boulevarded
streets the proper thing in the
residence portion of the city.
4 Still others, who are planting
shade trees, and making other
Improvements to the streets be:
fore their premises find that it
the council were to establish a
boulevard it would make them
some Inconvenience. They do
not think the time is near when
paving will be considered. Those
who take long looks ahead and
Esee=in the fntnre Bemidji a city

time establish the metes and
| bounds Of the streets with refer
ence to boulevards is now, and
petitions are to be prepared and
circulated among the property
owners onall three avenues ask
ing the city council to boulevard
them. The question OF expense
and expediency at the present
time will of course decide the
matter.
