Sailors on Strike.

That English soldiers or sailors
should strike for more pay in a way
such as we are accustomed to in trades
sounds impossible, but such things
have occurred, the last time being in
April, 1907, when the sailors demanded
higher wages and literally struck, 9th

agreed to meet their demands, but, not
doing so at once, the sailors aboard the

by the sailors. On May 10 a special
act was passed granting the increased

When Paris Was Dirty.

1t takes the labors of 1900 to keep
the city of Paris clean today, but in
times past that capital did not care so
much about the matter and was not
always pleasing to look upon. In 1349
King John of France made the request
that Parisians should not allow their
pigs to roam the streets. Charles vi.
(l36S-l422) complained that the prac-
tice of throwing rubbish into the Seine
made it great horror and an abom-
nation to look upon.'' Until the sey-
teenth century everybody who could
went about Paris on horseback in order
to avoid contact with the filth of the
streets. Various ordinances were made
to compel the people to sweep the road
before their own doors, but it was not
until 1871 that the dust cart became an
institution.

A Sad Picture

At Varzin once after sitting for some
time sunk In profound reflection, Bis
marck lamented that he had derived
but small pleasure or satisfaction from
MS political activity, but, on the other
hand, much vexation, anxiety and trou-
bic. He had, he said, made no one
happy by 1t, neither himself, his family
nor any one else, "but probably" he
continued, many unhappy. Had it not
been for me there would have been
three great wars the less, the lives Of
$4,000 men would not have been sac
rificed and many parents, brothers, sis
tiers and widows would not now be
mourners. -" Bismarck's Table Talk"

Cooper's Success
In The South.

Those who have followed the
stories OF the remarkable work that
Z. I. Cooper has been accomplish
ing with his two new medicines will
be interested in the report that
comes OF his invasion of Nashville,
Tenn, after nearly four weeks Of
phenomenal success in New Orleans.
Since Cooper's arrival in Nash
vile a few days ago, says a dis
patch, the city has been in an up
roar Of excitement. The newspa-
pers print detailed accounts of his
every move, and recent issues con-
tain names of several prominent
persons said to have b. on cured by
the use of his preparations.
The cases thus far made public
seem to be confined largely to
Stomach trouble, although the
names of several persons have been
mention@d as having received ex-
cellent results in cases of Kidney
trouble and rheumatism. One
thing that has done much toward
creating the present excitement is
the theory advanced by Cooper
tn at about fifty per cent. of the So
called stomach trouble is lue to
immense parasites or tape worms
and which indeed seems true, if one
can Judge from the number OF cases
that are being continually made
public.
Reports from New Orleans saw
that upwards OF fifty of these para

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 a
new pony was trying him out on a
Burman road when the animal bolted
and ran at top speed down narrow
road. In the way ahead was native
cart, In which was family party out

the back of the cart threw his rider
into the midst of the merrymakers and

Cooper, it will be remembered, is
the man who created sensation in
St. Louis a short time ago, at
which time the newspapers all over
the country were full of the reports
of his work. The sale of his pre-

proportions wherever introduced.
and, although he has never visited
Bemidji it is said at E. A. Bar

cines are sold in this city, that the
demand for them is startling and
that several of our prominent citi-
zens have received great benefit
from their use.

How to Learn n FOREIGN Language

How to Learn q Foreign Language.
One may begin the attempts of free
expression, and thus an independent
use Of the language, with a COMPARE
lively small vocabulary. Conscientious
reading and we'll conducted conversa-
tons will then quickly enlarge the vo-
cabulary and develop the facility of ex-
preston. But I cannot lay too much
stress upon the fact that the free and
exact rendering of ones own thought
in writing Is the most efficient exercise
In acquiring language. In mere con-
versation we are apt to slip over diff
culties by permitting ourselves vague
ness and inaccuracies Of expression
which would sternly demand correc-
tion-and correction, too, easily kept
in mind-when the written words look
us in the face. To quicken the efficacy
Of this exercise requires, of course, a
teacher able not only to pound gram

pill, but also to stir up in the study of
the language mentally active inter-
est in the subjects spoken or written

S. j. Huffer of Ora nd Rapids Tells
Sad Tale to Chief
Bailey. s-
CLAIMS WIFE LEFT WITH
THE CHILDREN AND $500
Huffer Heard That Woman and
Children We're Here and
Followed.

was at police headquarters this
morning and related to Chief
Bailey a sad story of alleged
desertion on the part of his wife,
who left his bed and board last
week, he claims, taking with her
four children and a sum of money
estimated at about 1900.
1t appears that Mrs. Huffer
and her husband have lived at
Grand Rapids during the last
four years and owned valua BILE
farm near that place. They
previously resided near St.
Cloud, where Mr.. Huffer was the
possessor of considerable prop
erty and was said to have been
worth at least $4,000.
At the earnest solicitation of
his wife he sold his farms and
moved to Grand Rapids. He
purchased a fine farm at Grand
Rapids, and in order to "keep
peace" in the family, so he claims,
decided the land over to his
spouse.
Last week, Huffer sold his
farm, receiving some $1,000 for
the land, all of which was at the
disposal of Mrs. Huffer. The
latter induced Huffer to go to
Bovey, small mining town near
Grand Rapids, leading him to
believe that she had decided to
run laundry there, if his story
may be believed. When Huffer
returned home his wife had de-
parted, taking with her their
four small children, three boys,
aged respectively ~, 10 and 8
years.
Huffer at once left for Niagara,
N. D., where he has a son who is
working on a farm, thinking that
the woman might have gone out
there. Inquiry at Niagara failed
to locate the missing woman and
her children, and Huffer came to
Bemidji last night.
It was ascertained that Mrs.
Huffer and the children had been
in Bemidji on Friday of last
week, but so far no further trace
of them can be found. Chief of
Police Bailey is in touch with
Wilton, Cass Lake and Solway.
and it is thought that the woman
went to one of these places, as
she told party here that she
intended to 60 to some small
station near here for a few days,
when. she would have plenty of
money and would decide where
she would locate permanently.
" While Mr.. Huffer is consider
ably worried over the alleged
desertion of his wife, he is more
concerned as to the welfare of
his children, and he will make
every effort to locate them in
order that they may be properly
cared for. He would also like to
have portion of the money he
claims is in the possession of his
wife.
Mr.. Huffer is an old soldier, a
member of the G.. A. R., and a
Bemidji man who has known him
for years states that he has
always borne the reputation Of
being an excellent citizen.
