Sharp, but Not Clever.

A London scientist says that life in a
metropolis makes young children sharp,
but not clever; that it often destroys
theil chance Of ever being clever, for
it hastens the development of the brain
unnaturally. It makes them superb
cial, alert, but not observant; excitable.
but without one spark of enthusiasm.
They are apt to grow blase, tickle, dis
contented. They see more things than
the country bred child, but not such
interesting things, and they do not
properly see anything, for they have
neither the time nor capacity to get at
the root of all the bewildering objects
that crowd themselves into their little
lives

HOsDitality.

While the reportorial representative
Of great news bureau was in San
Antonio, Tex, whence he had posted
in such haste as to have little luggage
he met with charming bit Of southern
hospitality. He had no cuffs, and a
local reporter promptly drew off his
own and said to the guest within the
city gates: Here, take mine. I've
more at home" Later it was learned
that the donor Of the. cuffs worked for
the San Antonio Daily Express, and
the superintendent Of the news bureau
upon hearing of the incident immedi-
ately wrote to Frank Grice owner of
the Express, in appreciation Of an act
peculiarly southern in it's frank good
fellowship. Here is Mr.. Grice's reply
IF you can send me the name Of the
member Of the Express staff who Of
fered his cuffs to your man he will be
discharged for not Offering his shirt as

.SCHOOLMEN IN
FIRST MEETING
School District Officers Meet
With superintendent and
Discuss Many Questions.

School district officers in the
districts adjacent to Bemidji met
with Superintendent J. J. Regan
at the courthouse yesterday pur-
suant to call issued by him.
It is the first meeting of it's
kind in the county under the
law passed by the last legislature
and proved full of interest and
instruction.
The object is to bring the Off
GERS into closer touch with the
school work. Such subjects as
teachers salaries, truancy,
school visitation, etc. we're
taken up.
In his opening address Super
intendent Regain talked with the
officers about their duties. He
compared the work of the schools
of the present day with that of
the past and showed the officers
that it is as necessary that they
should have correct ideas of
education as it is that the teacher
should have them. He also threw
some light on many of the
dark places in the school laws.
Those present were, presi-
dents: J. Swenson, W. H. Neu-

Landseer's Valet.

Sir Edwin Landseer, the famous ami.
NAL painter, had an old servant-his
butler, valet and faithful slave
named William, who was particularly
assiduous in guarding the outer portal
No one could by any possibility gain
direct access to Sir Edwin. The an
swer would invariably be, "Sir He'd
win is not at 'ome." The prince con-
sort himself once received this answer
when he called, amplifed on that oc-
casion by the assurance that she had
gone to a wedding," an entire fiction
on Williams part, as the prince found
out, for on walking boldly in and round
the garden he noticed Sir Edwin look
ing out Of his studio window. This
was the faithful attendant who one
day, when a lion had died at the 200"
and his corpse came up in a four
wheeled cab to be painted from, star
tied his master with the question,
"Please, Sir Hedwin, did you border
a lion?'

CLUB ADOPTS A
CHANGE OF NAME
Is Now Bemidji Commercial Club
Instead of Business Mems
Club.

Another enthusiastic meeting
of the Business Mems Club was
held in the city hall last night
and much business of interest
to the club and the city was dis
cussed.
Perhaps the most important
thing done was the passing of a
resolution to change the name
from the Business Mems Club to
the Bemidji Commercial Club.
1t was figured that this would
be more in line with names
of similar organizations in other
cities.
The club is taking a deep in
terest in the securing Of new in
dustrles for the city, and when
the matter of the Bousfeld
Manufacturing company of Min
neapolis was taken up the dis
cussion was lively. The Mime.
apolis concern manufactures
tubs and all kinds of wooden
ware, and has been making eyes
at Bemidji as a favorable locating
point for a long time. The secre
tary was instructed to write to
the company and assure it of
the hearty support and en-
couragement of the club in every
way.
. The meeting last night will be
the last one held in the city hall.
Through the generosity of the
president, G. II. Miles, the club
will be housed in a large room
upstairs in the Miles building
until permanent quarters can be
secured. A meeting has been
called for next Monday night
and will be in the new room.
It was voted to raise the
monthly assessment dues from
fifty cents to one dollar, begin
ming August 1.

Don't Kill the Hawk.

Man has sinned more than any other
animal in trifling with natures bal

hawks are apparently unrelated, yet
the hawks eat the field mice, the field
mice prey on the immature bees, and
the bees fertilize the clover blossoms.

convention. This was unanimously ac- cepted.
 Edwin s. Thomas, secretary, was in- structed to send an informal invita- tion to the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, desiring his attendance at the next state convention, September 11-12 to address the convention.
 "A written resolution, known as the Doughan resolution. passed over to Chairman Walsh regarding those who should be allowed to participate at the democratic primaries was not consider ed at this meeting, but will be referred to the committee on resolutions. The question raised against this was that 1t was contrary to law.
 The resolution Is as follows: Resolved, That the last official re- vised voting list used in the state cleo tion of November 6, 1904, be used at all primaries to elect delegates to the state convention for 1906, and any democrat who had voted for the last democratic candidate for governor be allowed to participate in the coming primaries ir- | respective of his name appearing on the democratic primary list" There was some doubt expressed by l some of the committeeman as to wheth- CT or not this could be done under the present state law which provides that voters must be registered on the primary lists to participate in the cau- cuses.
 The New Haven delegates who were appointed to wait upon Colonel N. c. osborn, who is to act as temporary chairman at tho Hartford convention in September are Edward J, Maher, John D. Doughan and David E. Fitz- gerald.
 The following committee was ap pointed to draw up resolutions of con dolence for the family of the late MT Gorman: John E. Doughan of New Haven, William II. Burke of Meriden and Charles A. Tomlinson of Milford.
 The sentiment of the majority of the delegates, especially the New Haven ones, is in favor of Mayor Charles Thayer of Norwich, for the nomination for governor. This sentiment is re. garded as a surprise as ithis the re. verse of opinions before the conven. tion.
 After this short but strenuous sessior all eagerly accepted the kind invitation of Manager Speck of the White City tt visit the White City The invitation in.
