A PLANET OF GREAT PEAKS.
Peculiarly OF the Ring Mountains
of the Moon.


The moon Is really and truly n great
planet of mountains, its whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations
or curious shapes and of extraordinary
height. We say "its whole visible sur
race ard hasten to explain that we
make this statement simply because
the eye OF man has never seen but one
side OF the surface of the moon. What
we see conriEces us that the little
planet is extremely mountainous, for
on the "cnd" exposed to our view
there are no less than 10000 peaks.
varying in height from 2COO feet to
four miles. When we consider the fact
That tllslunarinn world is only one

earth we can easily see why 1t de-

In II low grade telescope these peaks
resemble true volcanoes, but when
viewed through Il high grade glass it is

SO great rs TO be below the general
level of the surrounding country. The
depth of these depressions Is calcu-
lated In curious manner, by figuring
on the relative shadows they cast
when the sun is shining full upon
them. The diameter of these ring
mountains varies greatly, some of the
larger ones being 30, 100 or even $50
miles, While the smaller look like post

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Sept. %
The Presidents phonetic spelling or

Washington In the last few days ana
II has finally become necessary Ia
refer the problems to Oyster Bay for
fInnl decision.
The trouble first broke out in the
treasury department. Robert J.
Traccwcll who fills the office desig-
nntcd by Congress as comptroller ri
the treasury" recently ordered some
stationery from the public printer
and when It was delivered he found
that tho public printer had used the
phonetic spelling and described hija
MS controller"
TraceWell Becomes Wrathful.
Mr.. Tracewell Immediately became
angry and called on Acting Secretary
Keep. He protested that there was
no such ollifliccr as controller of the
Treasury" the office having been
created by Congress and by ii desIg
mated us comptroller"
Secretary Keep told the iratc Con
troller" that he guessed the prcsi.
dents order would have to stand but
Mr.. Tracewell said tha, there was
no authority under the law To pay n
salary 10 II controller" and ms MIR.

Past" Means Too Much.
Just about this time The Secretary
OF the Navy was having trouble with
the phonetic scheme. The public
printer had returned to tho bureau
OF navigation certain printed orders.
In which appeared the titles past
assistant sugcnn,' past assistant
paymaster," etc.
Tho bureau of navigation declared
TINT past" meant retired ana thai
the men SO designated were far from
being retired. On the contrary, they
were passed meaning that they
had passed that grade Moreover, the
titles had heen created by net of con-
sress, ANA no one but congress had
authority to change them. especially
when such change completely aitercu
the meaning.
6onaparte Side-Steps Argument.
Secretary Bonaparto received the
excited delegation from the bureau of
navigation. and after arguing the sub
ject for some time and consulting the
statutes he agreed to refer the mat.
ter to Oyster Bay.
a little later in the day tho sccrc
tary of the navy was waited on by
n delegation from the hydrographic
office. The delegation protested Wig
orously against the action of the pub.
lie printer In printing the maps pre-.
pared by the office according to the
phonetic rules. The representatives
of the office said that the maps were
printed for distribution throughout
the entire world and that the pho.
netic spelling would cause serious
confusion.
Tho secretary declared that he
knew nothing about the force of the
arguments presented; that he did not
know how to spell, phonctically or
otherwise, but that. IL the office
would put its arguments in writing
he would submit them to Oyster
bay.

When the State Fixed Hotel Prices.

When the State Fixed Hotel Prices.
 Before, during and for time after the Revolutionary war the courts of the commonwealth used to fix the prices of tavern board and liquor, so when the sojourning stranger from afar struck Richmond he could pretty nearly know what horse feed and breakfast" cost. There was also an assize of bread as well as of drink. The price of bread was regulated by the price of wheat. A fourpenny white loaf, twopenny white loaf, four penny brick loaf and fourpenny brown loaf had each to weigh SO much, according as they had other ingredi- ents mixed with -four. In those days "Boston biscuit" costing l cent had to weigh six ounces and two drams and so on. The connection between a loaf of bread and sixty pounds of wheat at so much per bushel has grown beyond the grasp of the modern mind. However, in the old time in Virginia the custom of regulating tho price, or, rather, the weight, of loaf of bread by the price of the wheat of which 1t was made was universal So far as liquor was concerned, the courts used to fix not only the price of sin gle drink. quart or gallon of the stuff, but also "a gorum of punch."- Richmond Dispatch.

When Friends Are Enemies.

 ''One of our greatest troubles is to prevent patients from being killed by kindness" said a trained nurse in one of the public hospitals. "On visiting days, when relations or friends are ad- mitted, we have in many cases to exer- else extreme vigilance. The amount of improper, even dangerous, food which one ablebodied relative can smuggle in under cover of a satchel or volumi- nous cloak Is almost incredible.

JOINS BIG ARMY
Well Known Resident of Be.
midi Expired at Fari-
bault Yesterday.

M. A. Sprague, one of the
early pioneers of Bemidji and
we'll known to nearly every
resident of the city. died at the
Faribault hospital yesterday
afternoon shortly after 4o'clock,
the primary cause Of death be-
ing the bursting of a blood vessel
brought on by a tumor on the
brain. Mr.. Sprague has been suf
fering with the tumor for several
years and sought treatment at a
number of hospitals. He went
to Faribault about five months
ago and an examination of the
tumor was made, but after the
skull had been opened it was
found that to perform an opera
tion for the removal of the tumor
would result in instant death,
and the opening was closed. His
condition grew gradually worse,
until yesterday afternoon, when
he finally succumbed.
Relatives living in Bemidji
were notified Of Mr.. Sprague's
death, and Fred W. Sprague, a
brother of the deceased, left this
afternoon for Faribault to take
charge of the remains, which will
be brought to this city Wednes-
day for interment. Although all
the funeral arrangements have
not been made, it is probable
that the services will be held
Thursday.
