A I.Ovcr E-iEs.

For many years Lord Gardenstone
was one Of the characters of Edin-
burgh and as such received place
among the famous Rays portraits. He
was represented riding on an old horse,
with a dog in front and boy dressed
In kilt behind. A detailed account
Of the picture states that Kay por-
trayed him as, what he really was. a
very timid horseman, mounted on an
old hack, which he had selected for it's
want of spirit, preceded by his favorite
dog Smash and followed by highland
boy, whose duty it was to take charge
Of the horse on arriving at parliament
house. His eccentricity took the even
stranger form Of strong affection for
pigs. He became so much attached to
one that he allowed it to share his bed,
and when good feeding and rapid
growth made it a rather cumbersome
bedfellow it was still lodged in com
Portable quarters in the apartment
During the daytime it followed him
about like dog. ~le morning a farm
er had occasion to visit his lordship
and, being shown into his bedroc N,
stumbled upon some object. That OBJ
ject gave vent to an uncompromising
grunt and squeal of complaint, and
from the bed there proceeded voice,

Denver's First stsgecoach.

On the 18th of May, 1859, Denver
turned out to welcome the first through
coach Of what was destined to grow
into the, Overland Mail. an enterprise
which for sheer American pluck and
daring must be forever linked with tile
fame Of the Pony Express" Red
shirts drifted to the outskirts Of the
hamlet and dotted the hills around.
Hard faced bartenders made ready for
the "hottest night that ever tore the
camp loose" The artillery Of holster
and saddle boot was numbered for an
ecstatic fusillade. There was lively
betting In dust und nuggets that the
first through stage had been gathered
In by Indians. with takers as eager to
stake their faith that the scalps of
driver and guard would come through
Intact. At length swirl Of dust show
ed far down the trail. 1t grew into a
yellow cloud that crept toward the
eager hamlet. Then six mules, stretch.
ed out on the gallop, emerged from
this curtain, and behind them was the
numbering, swaying stage, come safely
through on time, and Denver was in
touch with the world where men wore
white shirts and lived In real houses.
The cheers that roared welcome to
this heroic enterprise were echoed in
every western town which hoped and
longed for link of it's own with the
home country, "way back east.".-Out.

Birds Cross No Deep Seas,

a. A writer in the London Outlook
points out that no birds cross deep,
even if narrow, seas. The narrow Mad
agascar strait is impossible to birds,
though the north seas are a highway
for them. Godwits pass from the Nile
% the shores of Norfolk, though neigh
boring Islands in an archipelago may
show no common stock. All birds, with
the possible exception Of the sparrow
are stirred to movement by different
causes-wind, weather, food, the bully
ing of parent and other birds. Birds
Of prey drive off their young. Martins
love familiar caves. Successive ravens
have built on the same ledge for cen
Jury. The longer passages are only
made over shallow seas that once We're
land, and when once journey is made
the memory is strong enough to urge
repetition. The change of home then
becomes not a fashion, but an inherit
ed habit. ID.

The Polite Burman.

In the cities Of Burma, where the
natives have been long in contact with
Europeans, says the author of BUR
ma, Painted and Described" they have
lost some Of their traditional polite
ness, but in the country districts old
school courtesy is still the CUSTOM An
English gentleman who had bought
new pony was trying him out on a
Burman road when the animal bolted
and ran at top speed down a narrow
road. In the way ahead was native
cart, in which was family party out
holiday making. The pony dashed into
the back of the cart, threw his rider
into the midst Of the merrymakers and
severely injured the Burman who was
driving. Before the Englishman had
an opportunity to explain his unexpect-
ed onslaught the Burman picked him
self up and bowed low. "My lord,
my lord" he said alphabetically, "the
cart should not have been. there"

Banana Bread.

Bread made from banana flour is
common enough In Europe and Eng

more nourishment and energy produc-

finest beefsteak, Is much more digest

Sir Henry Stanley was a firm believer
In the banana. He went SO far as to
advise that its consumption would cure
rheumatism, govt and all liver affec-
lions. When lying at the point of
death from gastritis light cruel of
banana -four mixed with milk was the
only food he could retain and digest.

Eating Ants For Dessert.

Savages, we know indulge in such
luXuries as gruhs and locusts, but for Il
civilized white man to finish up his
dinner with dish Of raw ants seems
too nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico
1t is the custOm-and a custom adopted
by plenty Of colonials and visitors The
ant eaten is called the honey ant and
is perhaps as curious an insect as lives
With a tiny head and legs, it has 5
huge body as big as large pea, anG
this is yellow and swollen with exec.
lent honey. In each nest there are 800
or 400 of these honey ants, which are
attended by thousands Of others. The
honey ants hang on to the roofs Of the
cells in the nest while the others feed
them. They are, in fact, living store
houses Of winter food. An observer.
says that if one of the honey ants falls
from his perch worker will go and
pick him up and replace him. This
feat is equivalent to a man walking up
the face of a cliff carrying a large buf,
falo or cart horse on his back.

The Meaning of ssBridue."

The story goes that years ago, long
before bridge was known in London
clubs, two families who played the
game under the name of Russian
whist" were living in neighboring
houses at or near Great Daily in
Leicestershire. The only road of COM
munication lay over somewhat dan.
gerous bridge. 1t was frequent oc-
currence for the departing guests to
say to their hosts: '"rhank goodness, it
is your bridge tomorrow" meaning
that the other party would have to
cross the dangerous bridge the next
night; hence is said to have arisen
the title Of bridge" We give this story
for what it is worth, but in our own
mind we have little doubt that the
modern name of bridge" Is merely a
very easy corruption Of the old title
Of 'biritch." The two words "biritch"

Eating Snails.

Four Britons ate snails at a French
restaurant in Brighton, England, not
long ago. Their experiences are de-
scribed as follows: I'm due course the
plates appeared, each bearing half a
dozen snail shells of dingy white. A
slender two pronged cork accompanied
each dish. With this the snails were
jerked out, their big black horns com
ing first, accompanied by a small erup-
ton of gravy One Of the experimenters
looked critically at the uninviting OBJ
ject at the end of his fork, then he shut

but tough, rather suggestive Of india

Girl Slaves In China,

A native writer in a Chinese publica-
ton remarks: "When girl is sold in
China she becomes the slave of her
owner and part of his property. She
no longer retains her freeborn rights,
but surrenders them all to the will Of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor, but is
obliged to accept such raiment and
food as her owner may be pleased to
give her. In cases of tyranny or gross
cruelty she cannot appeal for redress.
She may be resold, given away or cast
Oft in the streets at the arbitrary will
of her master. All freedom is denied
her, and she remains tool and chat
tel in the hands of her owner until she
is sold again or until death releases
her from her unwilling fate"

for this season, having finished
Saturday the sorting and driving

varieties of tim Der.
During the winter months Mr..
Hatcher handled twelve million

ing on the Schoolcraft lake and
river and Birch river and four
million at various points on the
Mississippi. These logs were
cut and later driven from Lake
Itasca down the Mississippi, and
from the Schoolcraft down
through Lake Plantagnet, Mar
quette lake, Schoolcraft and
Mississippi rivers to Lake Irving,
entailing a large amount of work.
These logs were the property of
the Crookston and Grand Forks
lum Der companies.
In addition to the above, Mr..
Hatcher also cut and logged
sixteen million feet for the
Crookston Lumber company
near Island lake. The logs were
put into Island lake, from which
they were hoisted and brought
to Bemidji via the Crookston
Lumber company's Wilton
branch of the Great Northern.
Mr.. Hatcher states that the
season was fairly successful
one for him, and that he was en-
tirely satisfied with the results.
In his extensive operations, he
must needs haYe central point
where he can establish head
quarters, and he stated today
that he intends to have his office
in Bemidji hereafter and will
transact all of his business here.
This will mean considerable to
this place, as he employs, when
actively engaged in logging oper-
atoms, $50 men, with a good sized
payroll. He formerly had his
Offices at Park Rapids.
