Conversion by the Lash.

When Livingstone went among the
Bechuanas. in South Africa, on his
missionary travels, he used to preach
to them as best he could in their ma
tive tongue. He was thus once occu-
pied when Sechele, the chief, came to
the meeting. The chief corrected Liv-
ingstone's way of carrying out his
mission. DO you think" he said,
you will ever get the people to be-
lieve simply by, talking to them? l
can't make them do anything without
the lash. II you like. will call my
head man, and with our whips we
will soon make them all believe Liv-
ingstone would. OF course, have moth
ing to do with such wholesale modes
of conversion as that. Az the result
showed, he got on better without the
use of force

A Fit Place TO Live.

The local postoffice employees
are the defenseless target of all
sorts Of inquiries, but one OF the
most amusing which has recently
been received came a short time
ago from a young minister who
contemplated removing to this
city. 1t was addressed as usual
to the postmaster, and after a
careful and uninteresting recital
of other facts wound up with the
question: els Bemidji a fit place
for minister to bring his fami-
ly?" The letter fell into the
hands of Assistant Postmaster
Bliler, who is something of a
Bill Nye himself and very prompt
~ answered; 1T depends on the
family" Since that there has
been nothing doing in the
matter.

ness man and a gentleman of
genial personality. The funeral

he proposes at present there will
be no more "chasing the duck"

all the local liquor dealers enter
into an agreement not to sell
beer in cans. The pitcher pro

large and is growing. There is
no money in the "can" for the
local liquor dealer. and this is

The Firemen's Dance.

The fremen's dance, the only
public social event of New Years
day was literally patronized last
night and was very pronounced
success. The auditorium at the
city hall which served for the
ball room was prettily decorated
with bunting and the banners
which the running team has won
at various tournaments were
effectively displayed. The music
was furnished by the Bemidji
orchestra and was executed in
it's usual good form. The de-
partment netted a net sum of
money on the event.

pened to find the pocketbook and
spent several hours of his time
trying to locate the owner. He
was finally successful and Miss
Millard's relief can better be
imagined than described, when
the purse was returned to her.
The gentleman who found it de-
clined to accepta reward and the

has a full quota of guests, but
only a few were being cared for

Davis and Welsh fourished at
Blackjack abouta year ago. The
robbery which they committed
was one of the most clever and
daring which has ever taken
place in this section. While their
victims slept they administered
chloroform and relieved them of
their pocket books. The total
sum which they secured was
SIO.35, but they had reasons to
believe that both the men had
large sums of money. They
we're arrested and had a prelimi-
nary hearing at Blackjack and
Sheriff Bailey was sent for to
take them into custody. In the
meantime they broke Jail at
Blackjack and no trace of them
has been found until Sheriff
Bailey was yesterday advised of
their arrest at Minneapolis by

is on trial for burglary.
