WARsHIPs AT NIGHT.
From the First Call at sundown to
the MournfuI Taps.

From the First Call at Shutdown to
the MournfuI Taps.
The routine of life on battleship
at night will interest boys who have a
nautical bent.
The first call" is sounded five min
utes before sundown, when the ensign
and the jack halyards are manned and
stay light made ready for hosting to
Indicate the ships whereabouts during
the night. Then the color call follows
at sundoWn as the flag is lowered and
saluted by all as it reaches the deck
The assembly is then sounded for
evening quarters and muster, but there
is no drill.
when the bugle call is sounded to
Stand by hammocks.' That brings all
the crew on deck. and they stand in
silence close out to the ships side be-
side the hammock nettings, in two
ranks facing the stern, aetil the boat
swain's mate reports to the officer Of
the deck, "All up and aft" The latter
then orders, Uncover; pipe DOWN.
and in obedience to this order and the
boatswain's whistle the nettings are
thrown open and the hammocks are
served out and taken below to their
proper places. Each hammock has
printed on it a number, and that same
number is on the hooks below decks
where the hammock has to be swung,
so that each man sleeps in the same
place every night, and that place is
called his .billet"
Unless a boat is called away there
will be no more bugle calls until five
minutes of 9 o'clock. The period is one
Of complete relaxation and is spent by
the sailors in smoking, spinning yarns,
singing, playing on musical instruments
and dancing. At five minutes of the
first call is again sounded as a warn
ing to the crew to prepare to turn into
their hammocks and go to sleep. Then
at 9 o'clock comes the call known as
'sTattoo."
This tattoo is the survival of an old
custom. In the 'sold navy it used to
last fifteen minutes and was performed
with drum and fife, playing all manner
Of airs and quicksteps according to the
fancy OF ingenuity Of the drummer and
the fifer. It is even said to have been
handed down from period of super
stition, when they used to make hull
labaloo after dark to drive the devils
out Of the ship. At the last note Of
tattoo the ships bell is struck twice for
8 o'clock, and the boatswain's whistle
sounds "Pipe down" Every man must
then turn into his hammock, whether
he is sleepy or not, for an inspection is
made by the master at arms to see
that all have done So Then sounds
that last long, mournful call, Taps

ENGLISH INN SIGNS.

One That Cast Reflection on King
George Ill.
One. of the last stopping places of the
London and Weymouth coach was at
a little Dorset village, whose principal
hostelry was known as the ASS Head
So good were the refreshments. so
obliging the host and so reasonable the
trade and was well spoken of through
out the district. In one of George Ills
visits to Weymouth the royal party
stayed at this inn and had lunch This
was very gratifying to the loyal host.
who Immediately took down his orig
inal signboard and erected full length
painting of the king in it's place.
Henceforth the inn should be known
as the Royal George. The proprietor
Of the rival hostelry in the village pur-
chased the ASS Head sign for a few
shillings and had it placed over the
door of his house. Now. it SO hap
pened that the coachman and guard
of the Weymouth coach had been
changed on the day this alteration of
the signboards took place, and they
were both strangers to the district.
but their instructions had been to stop
at the ASS Head, and, seeing the sign
on the rival house. they pulled up
there. This much annoyed the orig
inal owner, who, foreseeing that his
pocket might suffer for his loyalty.
Immediately had nailed to the bottom

lively at his cigar for few minutes

last, ''it fatters some men to talk to

JAPANESE STRATEGY.
Getting Rations Into Korea Before In
vading That Country.

Getting Rations Into Korea Before In
vading That Country.
When the celebrated Japanese soldier
Hideyoshi was making preparations
for his invasion of Korea he was ap-
preached one day by the veteran Asana
Nagamasa, who engaged him in the
following colloquy. 1t is recorded in
Walter Deming's New Life of Togo
toni Hideyoshi:'
Nagamasa-What commissiariat ar
rangements had better be made?
Hideyoshi-Well, you had better get
ready 100000 koku Of rice.
N.-What is to be done with the rice
after it is ready?
H.-Use every transport that is to be
had and send it over to Fusan.
Mater landing it. how are we to
protect it?
H.-Don't protect it; let it fare as it
will
N.-If we do that the Koreans will
capture it all.
H.-Well. isn't that what we want?
N.-But If we lose our provisions we
shall be in trouble.
Hits case of 100000 koku. Such
quantity of rice is not to be carried
off in hurry, nor can it be consumed
in short time
N.-But the Koreans will carry it in
land
H.-lf they do that, nothing could
suit us better. To get the enemy to do
your transport service for you for the
amount of rice that can be consumed
on the road is good enough. By adopt
ing this plan our troops will always
find provisions waiting for them as
they advance.
What Hideyoshi predicted actually
did take place. and rice that had been
carried off by the Koreans was repeat
edly recaptured by the Japanese.

YPsILANTI.
Nearly Four Hundred Ways of Spell

Nearly Four Hundred Ways of Spell

Curious postal officers in Michigan

for years past record of the different
ways Ypsilanti has been spelled on
mail matters, and by comparing the
notes they have preserved list OF

been compiled. This list easily estab-
fishes the claim that more different
ways for spelling Ypsilanti have been
devised than for spelling any other
geographical name in America.
In all no less than 372 distinct ways
Of spelling the name have been count
ed, and it is proba BILE that the greater
number, perhaps all. have been used
in good faith by persons who actually
believed that the photographic combi-
nations reproduced We're the correct
combinations for representing Ypsi-
lanti on the written or printed page
Every letter in the alphabet except
''R' has been used as the initial letter
of the name. though why so obvious
combination as Rypsilanti should be
neglected when others much less OBJ
vious have been employed is difficult
to explain. AS matter of fact the
T variations in the spelling are chiefly
confined to the first syllable. ''Y' be

State Auditor S. G.. Iverson and
State Treasurer Clarence Dinehart
arrived in the city yesterday after
noon from Grand Rapids, where
they conducted a state stumpage
land sale at that place.
In conversation with Mr.. Iverson
he speaks very highly of the develop
ment of northern Minnesota and
gives valuable information to the
settlers as we'll as to those who are
seeking new locations.
Mr.. Iverson believes in til e
development of this part of the state
and next summer will conduct sale
of state lands, offering such as he
thinks the settlers are ready and
want to purchase, and along that
line Mr.. Iverson says:
The state intends to offer for
sale about 100000 acres of land in
the northern part of Minnesota
during the last half of July, 1908.
The completion of the Mime
sofa & International and the Duluth,
Rainy Lake & Winnipeg railroads
to the north boundary of the state
has opened up a very large agricul-
tural region, that heretofore has
been almost inaccessible. The
soil in that part of the state is
exceedingly rich and there are
many large open tracts of prairie
along the Big Fork, Littlefork and
other streams, that will make the
richest kind of farm lands.
Northern Minnesota appears to
be on the. threshold cf period of
great development, and from now
on will change in a manner to sur
prise even our own people. There
is the promise of the state to offer
the school and other lands as often
and in such quantity as the demand
would seem to warrant. The
prices and the conditions on which
the state lands are sold make them
exceedingly advantageous to those
who wish to engage in agricultural
pursuits. A great deal has been
said about the advantages of
Northern Minnesota for diversified
farming, but I doubt exceedingly if
even our own people comprehend
the enormous wealth of the rich
soil of Northern Minnesota.

Our merchants are busy these
days waiting on the trade that
unusually precedes the Christmas
rush, and are working over time
in order that the Christmas shop
pers may see their goods to the best
advantage. Additional clerks are
employed in every store and thi:
weeks trade promises to be the
best holiday trade ever given the
Bemidji merchants, and special in,
ducements are being offered to
people from distance to come to
Bemidji to do their Christmas shop.
ping.
People who live within the city
limits should do their Christmas
shopping as early as possible to
avoid the extra rush, which always
follows the Christmas trade. Mails
at this time of the year are more OF
less crowded, which unavoida bly,
causes more or less delay in
the central distributing points o1
the large cities.
The local merchants appreciate
the trade they are receiving and
are doing all in their power to make
the Christmas buying attractive, as
is evidenced by the splendid display
windows of the various stores in the
downtown districts.
Among those who have made
every possible effort to supply the
trade with toys and articles suitable
for Christmas and New Years e ifts
and who are anxious that the trade
should know of their offers are ].
