countless styles in delicate tints seen in

done IN neat colors on a cream background,
making a lovely square for a cushion. Blue
drilling is neatly stamped in peculiar
though very pretty designs and makes a
suitable material for laundry bags, wall
pockets, cushions and couch covers. The
colors were never more beautiful than we
now see them In the new fall fabrics.

The Pause.

For awhile the world, the time, the SUD
everything, seem to pause as II In an eff
fort to hold back the day a little while
longer.
Then, swiftly, comes the cleaning, The
shadows In the east become a dim bur, ana
in the west the cedars aud the pines are
darkly s~lihouetted against this sky, which
is filled with an ofterglow of crimson and
gold.
And all the time the train is rushing
onward and onward unfolding to your gaze
an series Of the most beautiful
pictures in the world.
Z Suddenly looking upward, You spy the
moon, which has risen early and is making
a futile effort to outshine the glory of the
setting sun, which has illuminated a tiny,
,ily-shaped cloud above 1t until 1t looks
like a wonderful heavenly blossom.
Before you reach your destination you
see the end of this glorious picture play.
The glow in the west turns from crimson
and gold to violet, and from violet to
deep purple, and then to sober gray. The
stars begin to come out OF obscurity, the
lustre of the September moon asserts IT.
self, and night has fallen.
Just when your mood has become slightly
tinged with indigo, for watching the sunset
is always conducive to n sort of gentle
melancholy, the train reaches your jour
lney's end, and a laughing, chatterfng mob
grasps your hands and pulls you to the
platform, and sunsets, moons, stars and
blue hazes have vanished from your mind
as completely as II they had-never existed.

A PRETTY TRIMMING.

Lace run with narrow velvet Is one of
The pretty decorations of the season. It
is used upon ceremonious gowns as well
as upon the simplest of negligees. Lace
Of all grades and varieties is run with
ribbon and velvet of all colors and widths
and, in the majority Of cases, the trim
ming is a very pretty one.

SELECTING CARPETS.

In the first place avoid a carpet or rug
In which one can see a considerable amount
of wine. The white invariably gets soiled
and the carpet will not look clean even
when carefully swept or brushed. Also
avoid pieces in which are figures Of AMI
mails, bouquets of flowers. baskets of roses
or too noticeable stripes. The most pleas
ing figures are simple geometrica1- lines, a
tracery OF vines. arabesque, or an almost
solid groundwork of broken lines.

rhc sentcmhor sunset.

1t seems to me thai at this time of the
year the sunsets and the twilight are par
ticularly beautiful.
The railway trip from town, late in the
afternoon, down to one of the further shore
resorts, gives one a splendid chance to
watch the wonder of the nightfall.
AS the train pulls out of the local sta
tion the glory Of the sun is as yet IN
dimmed, hut you have not ridden for moro
than half an hour before it becomes a
brilliant, fiery red. as II 1t had gathered
all of the brightness Of the whole world
into its burning depths. A haze comes over
the landscape, which begins to show weiro
blue tlnts in the distance and glorious cop
per hues close at hand.
After a few minutes the fire OF the sun
begins to shoulder and 1t is a dim, dark
red circle that takes a last look at you
before dropping down to the other side OF
the world.

There is nothing more beneficial than a

daily with gentle friction to the scalp.

IS AGAIN PROFOUNDLY
/. IMPRESSED IN CANADA
County Attorney Henry Funktey Encoun.
ters Some Remarkable Feet, for
- the Most Part, Feminine.

County Attorney Henry Funkley
has returned from trip to Baudette
and Spooner, Winnipeg and points
in Canada near Winnipeg. Asked
as to his experiences on this second
trip to: the Kings Domains" Mr..
Funkley said: =
Yes have just returned from
another trip through Canada, and,
as before, I am greatly impressed
with the country.
This time I passed through a
part of the country I have never
been in before, and I was consider
ably north of the Banana Belt up
where they are erecting the bic
pulp mills that are to manufacture
paper for Canadian one dollar bills.
No matter where you go in
Canada, you will find something odd
and remarkable. What most i'm
pressed me on this trip was the
women. I know not of what nation
atty they were, but they had such
enormously large feet-not only
long, but ponderously wide so much
SO, that it often seemed a pity that
the owner, who perchance was or
some time had been young lady,
was obliged to move them around.
They were coarse-skinned, these
feet, much wrinkled and with warts
on especially the toes. No, I was
not in position to know whether
these feet were cold. It was truly
one Of Of the most marvellous and
lasting impressions that I have ever
had Of Canada

1t is certain that there will be large
attendance of horsemen at the races
IN addition to the crowd that will
attend the fair from other walks in
life.
1t has been decided to give over
the entire first day of the fair
(Thursday, September 26) to the
Old Settlers association of Beltrami
county, and the officers of that
organization will cooperate with the
fair management in making the
opening day big success.
An effort will be made to secure
Hon. Halvor Steenerson, congress-
man from this district, and several
other speakers of note to be present
on that day to address the crowd.
A ball game will be played in the
forenoon, and there will be pro-
gram of small sports, with speaking
and running race in the afternoon.
The full program of this day will
be announced later.
The old settlers having charge of
the annual reunion will extend invi-
tations to the pioneers of adjoining
counties to be present.
The work of preparing the grounds
of the association for the fair is
under way. The race track
was placed in excellent conditions
last year, and local horsemen have
worked it out all summer, so that
when the time comes for the meet
during the fair the track will be
very fast.

They drove out in the hill district,
and shortly after one O'Clock,
stopped near the old Bowman tavern
in Monroe township for lunch in the
shade of a tree. The party alighted
from the surrey with the exception
of Mrs. Decker who decided to
remain in her seat, it being difficult
for her to get in and out of the
surrey. The lunch had just been
spread when the horses took fright,
and with spring started on their
mad run. Mr.. Decker made an
effort to get to the animals but from
where he was it was impossible to
reach the bits. He was knocked
down by the rear wheel of the surrey
as the team dashed away. --a~
Along the road down the hill
past the Gregg school house the
horses galloped at terrific pace.
At the turn from the Gregg road
onto the Plank road, the surrey upset
turning on its end, throwing Mrs.
Decker to the ground with great
force. The horses broke loose from
the surrey and run to Martin Bowen's
where they were stopped. Charles
Mace and others living nearby hur-
ried to the scene, and the injured
lady was broug bit to her home in
Towanda by Mr.. Mace.
DR.. T. Ben Johnson was sum-
moned and assisted by his father,
DR.. T. B. Johnson, made a thorough
examination of her injuries. They
found both bones in the left arm
broken above the wrist, and the
larger bone in the right forearm
and two small bones in the right
wrist also broken. Her face was
badly bruised and scratched and
she was more or less injured about
the body.
To ride nearly two miles over
rough road behind two frightened
horses and be thrown from carriage
which was reduced to kindling wood,
IS an experience which but few pass
through and live to tell of. That
Mrs. Decker escaped instant death,
is indeed a wonder"
Mr. Decker had intended going
direct from Towanda to Saltwater to
attend the state meeting of the Elks
and assist in boosting Bemidii in
getting the 1908 meet for this city.
Charles will be greatly missed by
the antlered bunch in the Prison
City," as he is a fup-maker of the
best kind, and as booster he has
no peer.
However, the boys all sympathize
with him in his trouble.

The delegates from Bemidji Lodge

meeting of Elks being held at Still
water, have gone to the meeting,
and all are armed with telling argu-
ments and striking advertising
matter favoring Bemidji as the place
for holding the annual meeting of
1908. /. ~.-......
The Bemidji delegates are F. S.
Lycan, J. C. Covington, All. Jester,
E. Hives and John c. Parker, and
they will be reinforced by good
sized delegation of other members
of the local order and private citi-
zens, all of whom will do some
strong boosting for this city.
In their efforts to get the next con-
vention, the delegation at Saltwater
t@ ! { -7t.E
are backed by the whole Of Bemidji,
to a man, as it is fully realized what
the state meeting of the Elks really
is; and that some three or four
thousand exceedingly live" individ-
uals will own the town for two or
three days. The antlered brethren
would find hearty welcome here,
where is located the baby lodge of
the state. And this city is fully
capable Of properly entertaining
them, as the members of Bemidji,
1852, are all hustlers of the thirty
third degree, and hospitality is
commodity for which this city has
an enviable reputation.
1t has been generally conceded
for some time past that Bemidji had
the lead for the next meeting, and it
is confidently expected that the
bunch Of hustlers who have gone to
the Prison City will land the plum.
