LOCAL PLAYERS RESENT
BOASTS BY CASS LAkERS
High School Football Team Thinks
Lake" School Nervy in Claim.
-
ing Championship.

Some indignation is expressed
here by the mem bers Of the Be.
midi high school football team at
the declaration made in a Duluth
paper, by a Cass Lake cor.
respondent, wherein it is stated
that the Cass Lake high school
eleven claims the championship
of northern Minnesota.
The Bemidji team played a
game with Cass Lake, which re-
suited in tie, neither eleven be-
ing able to score, and all who saw
the game are unanimous in say.
ing that if there was any su-
periority in the playing Of that
game it belonged to Bemidji, as
the ball was in Cass Lake terri
tory most of the time.
The Pioneer is informed that
the boys of the local team wrote
many letters to the Cass Lakers
for a return game here, but tina,
the boys up the line would not
play q game here. On these
grounds the Bemidji players
claim that Cass Lake has no right
to claim the championship unit
Bemidji was defeated. s.
However, the 'sdope'' usually
handed out by the Statistical
6end would give the banner t
Cass Lake, as she defeated Crane
Rapids, which team won from
Bemidji.

!!MhGR. HARRIS SORE, But
MUST GRIN AND BEAR. IT
Has No Recourse Against Show
Company Which Broke Its
Engagement.

Considerable disappointment
was expressed at the non.appear.
ance of the .Millionaire Tramp
dramatic company at the opera
house Saturday evening, as it
was believed that the company
was one of the best thathad been
billed for the local play house
this season. None we're more
disappointed than Manager Har-
ris and the mem bers of the fire
department.. Considerable ex-
pense had been incurred, for
billing. etc, and the advance sale
of seats up to noon Saturday had
been very encouraging.
Mr.. Harris had every reason
to expect the company here on
the noon train from the west and
when 70 one showed up on the
train. he got busy with the tele-
phone and telegraph lines, with
the result that he received a tele-
gram, in the middle Of the after
noon, stating that the company
had that morning missed the
train out Of Grand Forks and it
would be impossible to play here;
to cancel the date and ship every
thing to Superior. There was
no alternative but to cancel the
date.
Tho local management is able
to do nothing to recover for the
expense incurred in connection
with this company, as the con-
tracts which these companies
'promulgate are such that the
local manager is open to damages.
and the travelling troupe is liable
to no one but it's conscience and
the Supreme Being.

Historic Old New York.


Greenwich village, in New York city,
was first brought into prominence
when Sir Peter Warren, descended
from an ancient Irish family and vice
admiral of the British feet, settled
there in 1744. He married Susannah
De Lancey and settled on fine estate
Of more than 300 acres, running from
Christopher street to West Twenty
first. 1t was laid out like an English
park, with splendid hedges and ave-
nues Of trees and a fine old mansion,
which was the resort Of all the quality
Of old New York. His three daughters
all made brilliant marriages in Eng
land. One became the Countess Of
Abingdon, and her name is preserved
in Abingdon square. On the division
Of the estate at Sir Peters death the
homestead fell to her. She sold it to
Abijah Hammond, who sold it to Abra-
ham Van Nest, and it Is still remem-
bered by many as the old Van Nest
house, demolished in 1865. Among
other distinguished persons who have
lived in Greenwich were Oliver De
Lancey, William Bayard, Washington,
Vice President and Mrs. John Adams
Aaron Burr and Tom Paine Barrow

SheveIing Snow.

Wilbur Mes bit, the "lnnocent
Bystander" man in the Chicago
Evening Post, has the following
to say on the subject of shovel.
ing snow. The remarks are
ti"'o'v and will he appreciated by
every ma> had any ex-
perience in tossing .ne "beauti-
full" from his front walk before
going to work in the morning.
The time Of the year is ap.
preaching when the average man
begins telling how he used to
shovel paths through eight feet
Of snow at 4 o'clock on mornings
when the thermometer reg
istered so far below zero that the
mercury ratified around in the
bulb like mustard seed.
That is the sort of man who
will go out the first heavy snow
and show his family how to clean
the walks. He will have a nice
new dollar snow shovel sent up
from the store, and will begin
operations by slipping and fall
ing down the front steps. Dur
ing his slide several bushels of
snow will surreptitiously become
inserted between his shirt and
his undershirt How in the name
of time it gets there is mystery
as deep as the cause of the
aurora borealis or the production
of radium, but the fact remains
that it gets there.
The man will overlook it for
he moment, however, and begin
ossing great shove]fuls of snow
to right and left, and he will be
working like a steam plow when
the old man who lives up street
and who has bad temper and
rheumatism will happen along
and get forty pounds Of snow in
The face. After the ensuing ar.
gument the average man will re
sumo operations.
By and by his back will begin
to ache, his neck to be stiff and
sore and his arms to feel as
numb as though they had been
paralyzed since he was 10 years
Of age. But be will stick,to it,
for his wife and children will be
Watching papa from the window,
and the baby will be pounding
the window pane with it's sticky
fingers and goo .gooing gleefully.
At last, after years and years
Of lifting and showing, the walks
will be cleaned, and the man will
straighten up painfully and start
to the back door when his wife
will open the front door and cry:
ssYou left a little bit of snow
behind the horse block dear!'

NOW IS The BEST Time
TO DO HOLIDAY BUYING
Shop Early in the Season Is the Ad-
vice Of the Experienced
Ones.

do it now-your Christmas
shopping"
Bemidji people, in all serious
ness, should make this resolve
and keep 1t. There is no reason
why Christmas shopping should
be put off until Christmas eve.
Here are some reasons why the
gift buying should be done now:
Weather Better now than
when the extreme cold sets in.
Crowds-Smaller now than on
the eve Of the holidays.
Goods displayed Stocks are
complete and prices as low as
they will be three weeks hence.
Clerks Store employees have
more time, and not being tired
out, can give customers better
service.
Fully as important as the ad-
vice to shop early in the season
is that to shop early in the day.
Crowds are smaller in the morn
ing; stocks have not been
"picked over'' and the clerks
more inclined to display goods.
In shopping, as in other affairs
of life, the early bird gets the
worm.
The prudent ones, before this,
have taken their pencils in hand
and written down the names OF
those to whom they want to give
Christmas presents and those to
whom they s'must" give. The
list may be revised time and
again before the day arrives OF
the dainty bundles in tissue
paper and holly, but the mere
fact of it's existence is an evi.
dence Of good faith and OF the
possibility that the last days will
!! not be wild and anxious ones.
AS already stated, there is no
reason why the Christmas shop
ping should not be done now and
there are many reasons why il
should. All the beautiful and
-useful things which the factories
and shops have been fashioning
for the seasons trade are to be
seen in the stores now.
The best selection can be mad e
now. The goods have not been
"picked oier, and the lots prac.
ticaily are unbroken. Later in
the season they will lose some +
their freshness from much hand
ling and many tossings Tito
their boxes or drawers. There
will be no marking down between
now and Christmas-of that the
Christmas shoppers can rest as
sured.
If the shopping is done early,
better select ons can be made,
because there is more time in
which to consider the suita ability
of the gifts. Perhaps you never
have rushed wildly to a store and
bought at random almost any.
thing to finish out your list. If
you have not, you are an excer-
tional person, or else you have
done your Christmas shopping
early.

AT Which Age?
An amusing discussion recently took
place between an artist and an author
as to which period of her life q
woman was the most fascinating. Ac-
cording to the artist a woman should
not be painted between the ages Of
twenty-five and forty, as she was In
the greatest transition period Of her
life. The author, on the other hand.
declares that she Is at the height Of
her fascination and beauty between
the ages Of thirty and forty. The Ques,

Useful Teeth.

Many different reasons are assigned
by people for their unwillingness to
submit to the extraction Of teeth. But
it was no fear of pain which was up
permost in the mind of Miss Mehitable
Lamson OF Willowby when told by the
dentist that she would be much bene-
flied by the loss Of two of her prom
inent teeth.
.'You say they can't be filed" she
said, in evident distress, 'and you
couldn't get any others in for me for
more'n fortnight r
The dentist admitted reluctantly that
It was SO.
''Well, then. l suppose I'll have to
get on as best I car" And Miss Me-
hitable seated herself in the torture
chair. But don't see how shall

lots o transients coming and going.

As the horses trot down to the wire
In long. struggling line a race official
bangs a bell and the whole field turns

start is necessary. But It Is not only
on the race tracks that fresh starts are
essential to the achievement OF results.
There are countless instances OF busi-

visitations of misfortune. individuals
without number daily turn their backs
upon discouragements Of the past and

YESTERDAY.

The hot wave was in evidence again
Yesterday. Late Saturday evening a
heavy storm passed north of this city
when a refreshing breeze set IN from
that quarter of the compass. 1t died out,
however, about ten o'clock and a hot
night followed. The heat kept many
people of this city withia doors yester-
day. although thousands of Washing:
toniane passed up snd down the river on
steamboats. At the close of the day
many from both cities visited Luna
Park, and ii was after midnight before
they returned to their homes.
Weather Bureau reports last night
were that the hot wave had been partially
broken, although because of the moist
ness of the atmosphere in the region
east of the Mississippi river the weather
is still very uncomfortable. A high
pressure which has developed in the
northwest hiss brought at least temporary
relief and mora pleasant conditions are
predicted for tomorrow.
