Investigation Had Happy Ending.

The Crookston Journal says of
the recent work in connection with
investigating the report of illegal
hunting by Teddy Roosevelt:
1t was fortunate that Warden
Rutledge was commissioned to make
the investigation, as had an inexperi-
enced man been delegated a very un-
fortunate mess might have been
stirred up. The class of people who
always clamor for. the arrest of
people in high places when laws are
violated would have raised roar
had the charges not been investi-
gated. The charges were investiga-
ted but at the same time it was
found they were all without founda-
ton. Had hot headed, inexperi-
enced warden been assigned the
duty of investigation, an arrest
might have been made which would
have been a disgrace to the state
later on.
AS matter of fact we are of the
opinion that those who were raising
such hul-a-baloo about nothing in
an effort to get the son Of the
nations chief executive in trouble
were up to mighty poor and cheap
business to start with. 1t is FORUM
ate that he was guilty of nothing,
but had it been fact that he had

SHELL PRAIRIE FAIR IS
DRAWING GOOD CROWDS
Walker Defeated Park Rapids in a
Warmly Contested Game Of Base
Ball Yesterday Afternoon.

The opening day of the Shell
Prairie fair at Park Rapids yesterday
was an suspicious Inauguration of
what promises to be a very success
full meeting.
A large crowd was in attendance
at the fair grounds from the surround
ing towns and great interest was
manifested in the attractions pro-
vided by the fair management.
The forenoon was taken up in
receiving and placing exhibits and
finishing the incomplete arrange
ments.
The most interesting feature of
the day was the baseball game that
was played in the afternoon between
the Park Rapids and Walker teams.
The game was won by Walker, by
score of E to 3, and was an excit-
ing contest from beginning to end
Emerson, the left-handed Indian
twirler, pitched for Walker and
Louis Roy of this city caught, while
Grove played second base. Baum
gartner pitched for Park Rapids
and the remainder of the team con-
sisted of the best players obtainable
at points south of Park Rapids. The
Walker players did some good hitting,
secured ten safeties off of Baum
gartner's delivery and made four
errors. Roy and Grove played ex-
cellent ball and each did some good
hitting.
Park Rapids got three scores,
made four errors and secured five
hits off Emmerson.
The horse races were rather tame,
the purses being small and only local
horses entering.
The fair closes with tomorrow's
program.

fault would not have been his at all,

that the American people should

No Sport In Deep Sea Fishing.

You let down a heavy lump of lead
and two big hooks baited with clans
into thirty, forty, or sixty feet of
water. Then you wait until some
thing nudges the line, or until you sus-
pect that the hooks are bare. Then
you give the line a quick jerk, and
pull in, hand over hand, with more or
less resistance, and see what you have
drawn from the grab-bag. 1t may be
a silly, but nutritious COD, gaping in
surprise at this curious termination of
his involuntary rise in the world; or
a silvery haddock, staring at you with
round, reproachful eyes; or a pollock,
handsome but worthless; or shiny.

written in every line of his degenerate
chinless face. It may be that spiny
gargoyle of the sea, a sculpin; or a
soft and stupid hake from the mud
fats. 1t may be any one of the gro
tesque products of Neptune's veges
table garden, a sea-cucumber, a sea
carrot, Or a sea-cabbage Or it may
be nothing at all. When you have
made your grab. and deposited the re-
suit, if it be edible, in the barrel
which stands in the middle Of the
boat, you try another grab, and that's
the whole story.
1t is astonishing how much amuse-
ment apparently sane men can get out
of such a simple game as this. The
interest lies. first, in the united effort
to fill the barrel and second, in the
rivalry among the fisherman as to
which of them shall take in the larg
est cod or the greatest number Of had

packages. The scuipiG and the sea
vegetables may be compared to comic
valentines, which expose the recipient
to ridicule. The dog-fish are like tax
notices and assessments; the man
who gets one of them gets less than
nothing, for they count against the
catcher. It is quite as much game
of chance as politics or poker. You
do not know on which side of the
boat the good fish are hidden. You
cannot tell the difference between the

Now, and in the Middle Ages.

Most of US probably rejoice that we
did not live in the fifth or the tenth
or even in the seventeenth century of
the Christian era. When we think OF
those times we see their dark side
and we feel how much we should miss
in which we now take pleasure. But
can we be sure that the individual
man in those past centuries had on
the average a worse time than the av-
erage men has now? III was In many
points less sensitive to suffering than
we are, and he may have enjoyed
some things more intensely. The lit
erature of the seven centuries that
preceded our own is in many ways
TE'4e as buoyant in spirit as our own.
It is often thought that the fear Of
torment in a future life must have
