Seventh ANNUAL MASK
BALL is BIG SUCCESS
Firemen's Dance Was Attended By a
Large Crowd and All Had a
Good Time.

The seventh annual masq uer-
ade given by the Bemidji fire de-
partment at the city hall last
night was the most successful
ball since the department was
organized.
There was a large attendance,
despite the very inclement
weather, it being estimated that,
including spectators and mask
ers, there were fully 200 people
in the hall. Interest in the affair
did not abate until some time
after those wearing costumes
had unmasked at II o'clock.
There were many excellent
costumes, elaborate as well as
comical, and all who participated
in the dance went in for a good
time and certainly had it.
Symington's orchestra was
never in better fettle than last
night, and many numbers were
encored.
The following were the prize
winners:
Best lady's costume, Miss
Hattie Chamberlain, who repre-.
sented Gypsy girl. ..
Best gents costume, David
Meeklin, representing Uncle
Sam.
Lady's comical costume, Miss
Jessie Meyer, girl cowboy cos
tune.
Gents comical costume, Art
Wright, Irish hod carrier.
Best lady waltzer, Mrs. L. A.
Ward.
Best gent waltzer, Kay Dem is,
Judges-F. w. Rhoda. Fred
Brinkman, w. B. McLachlan.
A feature of the evening which
was a surprise to at least one
person in the hall was the presen
tation to Earl Cell, chief of tht
fire department, of a handsome
and valuable gold medal, on be
half of the mem bers of the de
partment. Mr.. Cell was espiee
in the hall and was induced to g

Markham Sunday Dinner.

You will hardly feel like get

Earl Cell was never known for
making speeches and his en-
barrassment was painful. The
presentation simply took the
breath away from the chief, and
he could make no intelligable
reply.

Desert Plants.

Plants of the desert, as a rule, pos
sess few leaves, the cactus, for in
stance, being mostly spines. There is
very good reason for the lack of
leaves in desert plants. The object is
to check the TRANSPORTATION of moisture
by offering as small a surface as pos
sible to the dry air. For the same rea-
son the roots of desert plants usually
run deep into the soil so that they can
suck up all the available moisture. In
some instances the leaves assume
vertical position and thus avoid the
direct rays of the burning desert sun.
On the other hand, the leaves of trees
in very wet countries are provided
with points-such as the maple-from
which the rain drops off. Were the
leaves fiatter the rain would collect
and make them rot.

Locating the Trouble.

A professor who gathers statistics
for the agricultural department with
one hand and evolves theories from
them with the other has announced
that it is not the high price of things
that causes distress, but the fact that
the common people will be satisfied
with nothing short of the best to take
home to their loved ones.
That Is an encouraging sign. When
the man who works hard for $1.75 a
day insists on bringing home a seal
skin sack and porterhouse steak in
the same night we may assume that
the world is growing better If not
wiser.
1t might not be considered good busi-
ness Judgment for the boy who earns
Sc a week to purchase an automobile,
but still, you know, boys will be boys,
and perhaps he could get as much fun
out of that as anything else for which
he might spend his money. We believe
the professor is on the wrong track.
The best is none too good for the man
who can get it.

although he was a man of warm
friendships, had high sense of per

Mr.. Arthur, who had accompanied him
on one of his hunting trips, was telling
an acquaintance some of the incidents
of the hunt.

he said, "that Mr.. Arthur is a cold, self
centered sort of man, but it isn't true.
He is one of the most genial and COM

alike. But she was sure of her own

A BUsYBoDY.

The busy little microbe
Is at 1t all the time,
And all his cousins and his aunts
Are parties to the crime.
He longs to be in mischief,
Or, to be more exact,
He strives to let us notice
How dreadful he can act.
When there is any biting
That really must be done
He's always Johnny-on-the-spot
To revel in the fun.
The infant and the ancient,
The matron or the maid,
Are all of them alike to him
When working at his trade.
It singles out its victims
Haphazard as they come.
Though IL 1t were discerning
1t well might shy at some.
But, no. 1t picks the nearest
And leaves on him a scar,
For all coons look alike to 1t.
No matter who they are.
1t picks a perfect stranger
And saunters down his neck
And tries his health to shatter
And leave the man a wreck.
1t wiggles through his system
And leaves behind trail
The naughty little microbe;
It ought to be In Jail.

During Cleyeland's first term an i'm
portant federal officeholder In Missis-
sippi died, and there was a prolonged
controversy over the succession. Each
of the senators from that state had q
favorite, while private" John Allen,
who was then In congress- claimed that
the appointment belonged to his dis
trict. After months of delay, Allen
went to the White House one day to
urge anew the claims of his candidate.

me to contest the will. The other
side, being in possession, adopted the
policy of delay, and so the case was a
long time In coming to trial, and when
1t was finally tried the jury disagreed.
After another long delay there was an
other trial, and my client won sort of
half victory, and the other side took
an appeal. Then tried to make set

as good as settled and told my client the
good news, and he and I were duly
and properly elated over the situation.
But 1t turned out that remote heir,
with small interest under the will,
refused to settle, and we faced further
and apparently almost endless litiga-
tion. Then my client sort of lost his
