One Words Meanings

English is most remarkable Ian
guage. It has some peculiarities Of an
extraordinarily rich vocabulary and
others Of the poorest and most barren
tongue; separate words for minute dis
tinctions and single words that have
many meanings. Many examples Of
both peculiarities can be found in the
Dialect Dictionary, an English publi-
cation. Every farmers boy knows how
to use the words lamb, sheep, eve and
ram, but how many Of them would be
able to define the words tag, tup-hog,
teaser, tup-seg, tup-yeld and six tooth,
each Of which fixes the age or the sex
of sheep? For example, a tup-hog Is
q young ram before the first shearing.
On the other hand, take the word
rack. AS used by people In one part
Of England or another it may mean a
neck Of mutton, the bones Of a dead
horse, blow, sharp pain, a kitchen.
fireplace, part Of hand loom, reach
In river, a ford, a pathway, a rut, a
gap In hedge, a flying cloud, to pour of
liquor, to stack. These are the unusual
meanings, and there are others more

The Phenomenal Novelty Hit.

That to the "Belle Of Japan"
must be accredited the most phe-
nominal hit of years there is no
denying. Theatres packed to
the doors everywhere and hun
dreds turned away is a common
occurrence. Why is it? many
ask. Thatcan beeasily answered
when one takes into considera-
tion that the theatrical loving
public want something new and
they know they can find that in
the "Belle of Japan" no old worn
out ideas but everything, plot,
situations, comedy, songs, dances,
scenery and costumes are new.
Miss Bessie Clifton who leads
the cast is too we'll known to need
any introduction; her work in the
past is a guarantee of what can
be expected of her in the dual
role she plays in this production.
We look for the largest houses of
the season on Thursday and
Friday, Sept. q and %, when
'The Belle of Japan" will be pre-
sented at the Bemidji Opera
House. Tickets are on sale at
the City drug store.

The railroad, by all the laws of the
nations, is quite as much a highway as
is a wagon road. But instead of levy
ing direct taxes for keeping up the
rail-highways (as do the people OF
Prussia, Austria. Switzerland and
other countries) we American farm
out" the power of taxation to private
individuals organized as railroad
corporation. The old kings farmed
out the power of ordinary taxation to
their favorite barons in the same
way. The instrument that conveys
this power upon a railroad company is

company the. right to operate the rail-
highways and to charge freight
rate "a taxi for DONG it. Railroad
presidents and directors are thus by

Russian Officials and the Jews.

An official needed money and desjr-
ed to extort it from the Jews. He
ordered the arrest of all the Jews as
they were leaving the synagogue one
Friday evening. They were one and
all taken to the station There they
were told that unless they paid a GER
tain sum OF money they must leave
the town. They started to plead,
then to bargain, and If the official fin
ally accepted one-half or one-third Of
what he demanded, the poor creatures
having already sold all they had, were
told to drive out of town and to return
by another way. If they failed to
agree on the price, they had to leave
forever. At another time the same
official, to stay competition, ordered
the expulsion of all the Jewish apothe-
carries. In the dead Of the night they
were awakened by policemen who told
them they had to quit the town with
in twenty-four hours. Married apothe-
carries were given three days. Then
again an order came that all Jewish
railway officials, without distinction
as to grade or education, riches or
poverty, were to quit, and within
twenty-four hours or three days give
up their places. They were not told
to leave the country. but they were
driven back to the over-crowded
Ghettos, cities and towns, where alone
they had the right Of domicile. Each
individual was forced to return to his
native place so that II the officials had

Mail Cast Upon the Waters.

The Dundee Advertiser.-"To cast

permitted to parody the well-known
proverb, appears to be the way in
which the inhabitants of the island of
st. Kilda, situated on the extreme
northwest of Scotland, communicate
with the outside world The method
of conveyance consists of tin con-
tanning the letters, packed in cotton
wool. covered in tarred canvas, and
served with Irvine to keep it water
tight. The tin is then attached to an
inflated sheepskin bag, acting as a
buoy, together with wooden float
with the words, "St. Kilda mail; please
open," roughly cut on it. Quite re-
Gently a mali was picked up in
Shetland which had been sixty-two
days on its passage from St. Kilda,
and. when opened, was found to con-
tain two letters and eight postcards,
together with one shilling for postage.
These letters were in due course
forwarded to their respective destina-
tons by the post Office at Lerwick.
In the case under notice it is Of much
interest TO note that the mali was
enclosed in a cocoa tin.

BLINDNESS.

We seek for beauty on the height afar;
But on the earth it gIimmers all the
while;
IT'S in the garden where the roses
are;
'Tis in the glory of a mothers smile
We seek for wisdom in each solemn
book;
But aye beyond the musty page II
lies;
TITS in the script OF violets by the
brook;
It's in the laughter of a baby's eyes
We seek for God in every distan
place;
But 10, beside US He forever stands.
We meet Him guised as sunlight facf
to face:
We touch Him when we take /.
brothers hands.
