WE'VE A FEW OF EN-.

Crookston Times: What's the
use of knocking your home town,
your home county, your home
state? What's the use in knock
ing your neighboring state?
Such knocking is the worst kind
of boomerang in the end. Some
there are that knock for the
mere sake of the knocking;
others knock because they know
no better. What's the answer
for knocking, and agita ting, and
kicking up the sod, and making
yourself general nuisance-if
you haven't the remedy to pro-
pose? We sometimes think that
the knocker after death has the
same experience as Kipling's
Tomlinson had when that i'm
mortal called at heavens gate.
He was turned away, with in
structions to go to the-other
place. There Satan read him
his earthly history and turned
him off with the judgment that
he was too burned mean to be
admitted into the dominions of
his betters, and he was sent
back to earth as neither heaven
nor hell wanted him. Ever since,
poor Tomlinson has been stirring
up discord, and he has visited
pretty nearly every country on
the globe. At present he seems
to be residing not a thousand
miles from Crookston-tempor-
arily, we hope.

OUR STATE LEGISLATURE.

Each legislature might be said
to have it's peculiarities. For
many years Jacobson, Staples
and Donnelly were conspicuous
figures. Usually, there were
present on the floor of the House
or Senate, many of the legal
profession. This year the House
is composed of men, so far as the
Pioneer can judge, that come
from other walks of life. They
appear to be young men, and
judging from the expressions on
their faces we would say that
they have an honest determine
ton to enact into law such legis-
lation as may protect the citizens
in their rights and develop the
great resources of this state.
They seem to be determined to
pass the 2-cent-fare bill, some
wholesome tax legislation, anti
pass provisions, and make suit.
able appropriation for drainage
of state lands, and q good law
relating to the drainage of other
lands. If,they accomplish con-
siderable portion of this work
the stateaWill be under great obi
CATION to the present legislation.

Japanese Swords.

Japanese swords are the finest"
said swordmaker. 'They are finer
than the blades Of Ferrara, Of Toledo
or Of Damascus. The blades Of Fer
rara, Of Toledo and Of Damascus must
bend into a perfect circle without
breaking, and, pillow Of down being
thrown in the air, they must cut 1t in
two with one clean stroke, but the
Japanese blade must do all that and
more. The final test Of a Japanese
blade is it's suspension, edge upward,
beneath tree. It must hang beneath
the tree for twenty-four hours, and
every lightest leaf that falls upon it's
edge must be severed neatly. One fail
ure and back to the forge goes the
Japanese blade again."

Lincoln's Bar Record.

In his twenty-three years at the bar
Lincoln had no less than 100 cases be-
fore the highest court of Illinois. a rec
ord unsurpassed by his contemporaries.
He appeared before the United States
circuit and district courts with great
frequency, he was the most indefatiga-
bic attendant on the Eighth circuit and
tried more cases than any other mem
Der of that bar, he was attorney for
the Illinois Central railroad, the great
est corporation In the state and one
which doubtless had its choice of legal
talent; he was also counsel for the
Rock Island railroad and other corpo-
rations and individuals with important
legal interests at stake, he was sought
as legal arbitrator in the great corpo-
ration litigations Of Illinois, and he
tried some of the most notable cases
recorded in the courts of that state

Big Game Birds.

The capercailzie, or 'black game bird
Of Norway" is one of the largest spe
cies Of game birds in the world, being
very hardy and frequently attaining a
weight exceeding fifteen pounds, but
when the birds are young they are
easy prey Of hawks. The birds are
what are known as rangers" for the
reason that while in quest Of food
they cover. wide expanse of territory.
During periods Of heavy snowfall they
burrow into the snow and remain until
the storm subsidies before venturing
out again. Their food in winter con-
sists chiefly Of birch buds, and In sum-
mer they catch mice and other small
animals. They are rated as members
Of the grouse family and in habits are
much like the partridge Forest and

No Surprises In Dreams.

No one Is ever surprised in dream.
A man dreaming is at one moment
bathing in the sea and at the next mo-
ment soaring in balloon, but the sud-
den and inexplicable change does not
surprise him, nor is he surprised to
meet in the flesh friends long dead, nor
is he surprised to find himself doing
deeds that really are beyond him. The
reason is that dreamers have no men,
DRY. In real life to be pursued through
the streets by lion would be astonish-
ing, but this accident would be accept
ed in dream as horrible, but quite
commonplace, the memory not being
there to say that it it, is unheard of for
lions to pursue one in cities. In the
same way, in dreams, men are not sur
prised to find themselves ballooning be-
cause they don't remember that they
were never up In balloon before, and
they are not surprised to find them
selves conversing with dead people be-
cause they don't remember that these
people are dead.-New York Press.

How He Remembered It.

When they met on Chestnut street
after some months in which they hadn't
seen each other the one chap told the
other he had taken a little house in
Germantown and was there with his
lares, penates and coal bill. "Come up
and see me some evening-any even
ing We're rarely out, you know, and,
then, we have telephone, so you can
let us know when you're coming"
II suppose your name is in the tele-
phone directory 2" queried the other.
"Well, no, not yet, as we've just got
the telephone, but our number isis
really it's funny, but just this minute
I can't-it's something like Ding it
all, it's strange forget that number,
for just on purpose I multiplied it by
two and divided the result by four, so
as to enable me to remember it, and 1
can't recall the first thing about it..
Ever know the like? I'll write you the
number" Philadelphia Record.

The Romantic Air of Frisco.

The Romantic Air of Frisco.
San Francisco Is permeated with an
air of romance and adventure. No
where may one turn without being re-
minded of the legends that have been
woven around the forty-nlners and
their immediate followers. The names
of the streets and Of the business
blocks, such as Kearney, Suffer, Mont
gomery, Dupont, Flood, Croker and
Sharon, bring to the mind of the visitor
long forgotten stories Of riot or adven-
ture and Of fortunes whose vastness
once excited his wonder or made him
incredulous. To read the words that
are painted upon the street cars Of San
Francisco is to be carried back In fan
cy to the time when the city was peo-
pied only by those who, having turned
from all else that men hold dear, had
gone in search Of fortune and found 1t,
always just as they were about to give
up in despair and die Of starvation or
succumb to the hardships with which
human endurance could no longer cope.

Mental Poise and Health.

People who reach extreme old age
are, as rule, pretty well balanced
physically and mentally. A poised life
is serene, and serenity and harmony
tend to longevity. The mind that is
not we'll balanced is constantly tangled
and out Of tune. There is constant
Earring which racks the whole human
machinery. There is discord In an I'M
balanced life, and discord Is always
destructive-deadly. The we'll poised,
dignitied life Is not thrown off it's CEN
ter quickly. The man who goes all to
pieces over triles is one sided. There
is momentum in poised, balanced
nature which steadies it's progress and
helps hold it on its chosen track.
Hot temper, constant mental confu-
sion and disorder are vitality sappers-

Envious Canada.

There is a great deal Of gush about
the charming and all conquering
American girl. What is the truth about
this much lauded damsel? The most
attractive American is she who is edu-
Gated abroad, who initiates the voice of
the Englishwoman and the dress Of the
Frenchwoman and who uses the money
accruing from Chicago pork or New
York stocks to buy, so far as such
things may be, bought, the old world

Clothes and Conduct

i Every man and every woman feels
the influence Of clothes and appearance
upon conduct You have heard of the
lonely man in the Australian bush who
always put on evening dress for din
ner SO that he might remember he was
a gentleman. Addison could not write
his best unless he was we'll dressed.
Put naughty girl into her best Sun
day clothes, and she will behave quite
nicely; put a BLACKBOARD into khaki,
and he will be hero; put an omnibus
conductor into uniform, and he will
live up to his clothes. Indeed, in a
millennium Of free clothes Of the latest
fashion we shall all be archangels.-

Stale Brains.

OF course there is no future for stale
brains or for a man who stands still
and ceases to grow. He is old who
thinks he is old and useless who thinks
he is useless. When man has ceased
to grow he begins to die, and many
people are half dead at fifty, not be-
cause Of their age, but because Of their
mental attitude, because of the way
they face life. Success Magazine.

The Natural Way,

A philanthropic person heard Of a
negro family that was reported in des-
tltute circumstances and, calling at
their domicile, he found the report true.
The family consisted Of the mother. a
son nearing manhood's estate and two
young children. The benevolent old
gentleman after hearing the mothers
story gave her eldest son 81 to get a
chicken for the Thanksgiving dinner
and took his departure. No sooner
was he gone than the negress said to
her son, "sambo, you done Glib me dat
dollah and go get dat chicken In de
natchral way!"-Chicago inter Ocean.

Diagnosis of Headache.

4 There are more than fifty kinds Of
headache" said physician, ''and suf-
ferers from the more common forms
may cure themselves by locating the
cause and treating themselves accord
ingly. The more frequent forms are
dull pain across the forehead, due to
dyspepsia; pain in the back Of the
head, due to the liver; a bursting pain
In both temples, due to malnutrition;
an ache on the top Of the head, as
though weight pressed on the skull,
due to overwork; an ache between the
brows just above the base Of the nose,
due to eye strain"

There is no liquor in the world upon
which man becomes so quickly in

At japanese dinners it Is the rule to
become slightly eyhilarated, but not to
drink enough to talk thckly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban.
quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banquets Of many kinds,
and the man who is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex.
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. By
not eating one can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty so. A quart of sake Is a good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military officers banquet a captain
offered me a tumbler holding good
pint of sake. l almost tainted at the
