pabys been crying for milk all morning
ana didn't have mite to give him"
when Martha came to the house where
her last customer, Miss Webster. a maid
en- lady, lived alone on a side street, she
was surprised to see that snow had not
yet been removed from the doorstep. All
was very quiet, and Miss Webster could
be neither seen nor heard. Martha bang
ed the door, stamped her feet and ratified
the milk can to attract attention. Then
she felt sure something must be wrong,
and set out to investigate. She opened
the door leading from the sitting room
into the hall. There lay Miss Webster
unconscious, with a look of agony on her
lace. Martha felt a strong impulse to
run. She conquered the feeling, got her
milk can and dashed some of the lev
cold liquid over Miss Webster's face, and
at length she opened her eyes. The poor
lady was too dazed to talk, but only moan
ed about her foot. Martha tried her best

so she made her as comfortable as she
could, and started for help.

No Thanksgiving dinner had ever tast-

missed her parents. The doctor insisted
upon heaping her plate at every oppor.

Late in the afternoon Martha drove
home, tired but happy. Her father was
comfortable, and was quite as much in
terested as her mother in listening to the
narrative of her experience.
But Martha's Thanksgiving surprises
were not all ended. A few days later her
father, who had nearly recovered came
home one morning and gave her huge
bundle.

neck was tied blue ribbon to which

Martha was nearly overcome by this
gift, but she proceeded to investigate the
meaning of the cards last sentence. The

Jennie, and their neice, Miss
Bernice Roberton of Rushford,
Mimi, arrived in Bemidji the
first Of the week and will spend

this community as a health resort
and fine fishing grounds. Mr..
Nesbet is a fisherman of repute,
but he denies the allegation that

summer fishing with three poles
and dragging atroll line at the
rear of his boat, and AYERS that
he can whip the 'allegator,
George II. Barlow, also of Grand
Forks, for his assertions. Mr.
Nesbet is q large property owner

SCISSOR of several hundred acres
of the finest farming land to be

Pony Wins Race.

A little question of speed be-
tween the owners of "Country,
Boy" winner of the horse race
yesterday, and the Wheelock
pony, who ran in the horse race
and also in the pony race, but
was prevented both times from
finishing, was settled today.
The pony was the winner by ten
lengths in a quarter of a mile
sprint. Wheelock's pony was
put out of the running in the
horse race yesterday by the
slipping of his sadie, which
threw the rider, and in the pony
race bolted and failed to make a
showing. His owners we're con:
fident that the speed was there:
however, and a match with the
winner of yesterday was ar~|
ranged.

Cooper's Medicines
In Gre at Demand.

and I am glad of the opportunity 4
to tell the public what these medi-
cines have done for me. My suf-
fering for the past fifteen years has
been more than can describe, for
during all that time have seld ON
had a we'll day. Ny appetite was
very Irregular. Sometimes could 4
not get enough to eat and at other
times the very sight of food would
make me sick. I suffered greatly
from constipation, Ibid not seem

ate, was always tired, and the "a
slightest exertion would wear me /
out completely. It was a great ef-.
fort for me to attend to my duties.
[ was very nervous and at night I
could not rest we'll. I would wake
|up in the morning feeling as tired j
as when I went to bed. There were
few days that I did not have a !
dreadful headache and times would
have queer dizzy spells. I thought
for a time that I had Catarrh and
loctored for it, but without relief.
Nothing I could do seemed to bene-
fit me, and when 1 began to hear Of
the wonderful success Cooper was !
having with his medicines in the
treatment of cases similar to mine,
I began using his medicines. i
After 7 had taken his New Dis.

time I improved rapidly and now

The remarkable demand for the
New Discovery medicines with
which L. T. Cooper has been hav-
ing such wonderful success in the
cure OF Stomach and Kidney trou-
'bles, Catarrh, Rheumatism and
other diseases seems to increase ev-
cry day. His visit in New Orleans
for the past few weeks has created
a sensation in the South, the like
OF which has meyer been known.
His remedies are we'll known in
this section of the country, and the
famous cures which they have Of
fected in st. Louis, Milwaukee, St..
Paul, Minneapolis, and other large
cities of the central western states
are well remembered. The retail
druggists say they have never
known any medicines for which
there was such a constant dem an
and the continued reports of mar
velOus cures that are being pub
lished everywhere are a topic OF
universal interest.
' The newspapers of New Orleans
are still printing interviews with
: those whose cases are most extra
ordinary and as this, the last

= close, the excitement seems to have
increased rather than abated.

PERFECToWEATHER ADDS TO
THE PLEASURE OF THE DAY
The City's Celebration Lasts
From Early Morning to
Early Morning.

-Bemidji's Fourth of Jaly cele-
bration was a huge success,
from every standpoint. The
weather man had a firm grip on
the "warm, fair" throttle and
dealt out a brand of summer sun
shire that made everybody glad
that he or she was still in this
Gland of the free and home of
the brave"
The local committee, Mayor A.
A. Carter, j. A. McAvoy, George
Markham, F.. E. Brinkman and
David Gill, were out early and
began moving toward the carry
ing out of the program as exped-
itiously as possible.
The night trains had brought
in goodly number of visitors
who we're bent on having a good
time in Bemidji, and when the
M. & I. train arrived from the
north a large crowd of people
from Northome, Blackjack and
other points up north got off the
cars and prepared to enjoy the
day. Every succeeding train un-
loaded visitors, until it is esti.
mated that fully 1900 out-of-town
residents were here for the cele.
bration.
Mayor Carter acted as marshal
of the day, and he got busy on
the parade right after breakfast,
with the result that the process.
sion was on the move at 10 O 'clock.
The mayor, superbly mounted,
headed the procession, followed
by Chief of Police Bailey, Cap.
tain Helmer and the other mem
bers of the force, all mounted
and looking spick and span in
their blue uniforms.
The Bemidji band followed,
and then came a large mum Der of
callithumpians, with rigs and all
kinds of comical outfits that set
the crowd wild. The judges of
the parade awarded the prizes as
follows: Mrs. Gamble, first;
Robert English, second; James
and Johnnie Pogue, third. Mrs.
Gamble had gone to considerable
expense in getting up her outfit
for the parade, and the judges
thought her entitled to the first
prize, as she was the only lady
q resident of Bemidji, who par
ticipated in the parade. Robert
English had a cage, IN which he
sat, dressed in tights, and with
a huge blacksnake whip kept at
bay the ferocious~ goats owned
by the McTaggart boys and John
Pogue. The Pogue boys had the
most laughable ''lay-out."
Although there was no prize
for the best appearing party,
