Stranger Than Fiction.
The story surrounding the adop-
ton of the little fellow, who was plac-
ed on the road to wealth by the kind
Intervention of several former promi-
nent people of Baltimore, is stranger
than fiction.
The opening chapters have their
foundation in Baltimore, but ths scene
was soon shifted to Virginia, where
the child saw the light of day, and
the remainder Of the romance has its
setting in fine old mansion in France
which before the advent of. the boy,
was bare of the cooling and prattle
of children. In the midst of this
were loving foster parents to look on
and feel the thrill Of delight from
the boyish presence.
Back of the whole story was the
desire Of Marquis de Montferrier and
his wife to adopt son. Their mar
ried life had not resulted in a son
being born to them. In his dilemma
last February the Marquis appealed
to friends in Paris, among them be-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Frank de Sales Jen-
kins, who formerly lived in Baltimore
but in recent years have made their
home abroad. Like all others to whom
the marqis and his wife unfolded their
secret, Mr.. and Mrs. jenkins entered
< into the confidence OF their friends
with a great deal of enthusiasm, and
set about to procure son which
would be to the liking of the marquis
Fortune favored the former Baltimo-
reans, for the noted Frenchman made

Marquis said over and over again, was
very much to his liking. and if he

it to be fellow who would claim his
home on this side OF the Atlantic.
How Baby Was Ssecured.
Mr. and Mrs. jenkins seemed pleas

display should be jointly used by all
the merchants in sort of directory
of bargains to be offered in their
various stores. These should be in
the shape of small cards, and attrac-
tive prices should be given. In
addition, each merchant should do
liberal display and local advertising
of their wares for the event; they
should have attractive window dis
plays, and the trade territory should
be thoroughly circularized. --.
"Attractions for market day need
not be very costly, but they should
be numerous and pleasing. First,
there should be provided some gen
eral assembly place. The town
hall should be thrown open, if there
is no rest room provided for the
farmers visiting the town.
In the summer time ball games
should be arranged for the after
Moons, and there should be concerts
by the band, and in the evening a
dance for the young people. Church
entertainments are also desirable
features, and should be given for
those who do not care to dance.
These may be lectures or stereopti-
con shows. -..-.. H.
The attractions want to- be so
arranged that there will be plenty
of time for the farmers and their
wives to do their shopping. Mer-
chants should make it a point to
mix around with their customers as
much as possible, with a view to
making strong friendships. In these
conversations it will be found advis-
able to bring in the mail order
question and drive home as many
strong arguments as possible in
favor of home buying. ..~ >--r..

A Sensible Farmer,

Tenstrike Tribune: Mr.. A. P.
Reeve, the diversified farmer" is
now shipping his cream to the
Northland Produce company at Be-
midi. Mr.. Reeve is now milking
thirty COWS and expects to purchase
about twenty more. He finds that
it pays, and many others in this
neighborhood should follow suit and
it would not be long before a good
creamery would be located here.
This is the finest dairy and stock
country in the state, and many of
the settlers could greatly improve
their conditions by getting a few
COWS and start in the way Mr..
Reeve did.

farewell to their former co-laborers.
The banquet was given at the
Hotel Markham, and consisted of a
splendid spread of six courses, served
in an elaborate manner.
When the dishes had been dis

telling was in order and there was a
general social good time and
splendid good fellowship.
Both Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Richards
spoke feelingly of their past associa-
tions with the men who were present
and expressed deep regret at the
severing of the. ties which had
bound them to their guests.
Messrs. McClatchie and Ryan

LOGGING RAILROAD IS
BEING RUSHED TO FINISH
Walker & Akeley Will Log Immense
Amount OF Timber on Kabekona
Next Winter.

The railroad which the Red River
Lumber company and Walker &
Akeley, loggers, are building along
the almost impossible territory
known as kabekona Gulch about
twenty-five miles south of Bemidji, is
being rushed to completion, in order
that the immense stands of pine
timber along the gulch may be logged
during the coming winter.
John Moberg, a contractor of this
city, has the contract for building
the road. He was in the city today
and states that he already has two
miles of the roadbed graded and is
rushing the balance of the grade
(about one mile and quarter) to a
finish, and that the laying the rails

GOVERNOR ISSUED FAIR
STRIKE PROCLAMATION
HIS Prompt Action Probably the Means
Of Preventing Serious Clash
on the Range

The St.>Paul Pioneer Press says
of Governor Johnson's proclamation
to the miners and mine owners as to
their conduct on the iron range:
whether or not Gov. Johnson's
proclamation will have the effect of
preventing violence upon the range
he will at least have the conscious.
ness of doing all that he could do to
uphold the law, and to protect both
the public and the strikers from the
consequences of riot and disorder.
The people of Minnesota, too,
have reason to congratulate them

the Walker & Akeley company, will
be commenced at once.
There is very large quantity of
pine along the gulch, which could
not be logged in any other manner
than with the aid of a railroad, and
although the expense of putting in
the road is almost prohibitive, the
company decided to get at the
timber and cut it clean if possible
during the coming winter.

credit due to the governor. For
though the situation does not require
so great degree of courage as
would be demanded if there had not
been very clear indications of the
drift of popular sentiment, the gov
ern or's proclamation is an exception
ally strong one.
1t is as just and impartial as it
is clear and emphatic. 1t warns
those who would interfere with the
lawful proceedings of the strikers
as vigorously as it warns the strikers
against any breach of the peace or
any resort to incendiary language or
demonstrations. If the strikers and
authorities do not realize that Gov.
Johnson means business no matter.
who violates the law it will be be-
cause they do not understand plain
English.
Short of actually sending troops
to the scene of the strike-a measure
which at this juncture would be as
unjustifiable as it seems to be un-
necessary-the governor could do
little more than he has done by
means of this proclamation to pre-
vent disturbances and to protect the
lives, the property and the personal
rights of all those affected by the
strike, whether as owners, as work
ing miners, as strikers or as residents
of the mining region.'' ->s-~..

are brought to town at least once a
month from all parts of the trade
territory and from long distances.
They look forward to the market
day, and unquestionably hold orders
that would otherwise 60, to the mail
order houses. These orders they
would not hold for the street fair.
We know of no better plan than
the market day as means of keep
ing trade at home. And when COM
bined with active, energetic business
methods by the merchants it,is only
question of a short time when
practically all the trade of the terri
tory will be coming to the town.
"A number of towns contemplating
market days have written the editor
of this department asking for informa-
ton as to how to get market days
established. The method most sue
cessfully employed is first to get the
merchants all together on the project.
This should be done by forming a
business organization and appointing
committees to prepare for market
day. It is advisable. to give the
farmers free service of an expert
licensed auctioneer for market day
for the sale of stock and any farming
utensils that may be offered. This
serves as good attraction for the
farmers. A strong advertising cam
paign should be made, and the
cooperation of the editors of the
papers in town is an absolute essen
,tial. They must give, free Of charge,
considerable portion of their space
for two or three weeks prior to the
holding of the market day for edi-
torial write-ups of the market day;
and on the week just proceeding the
market day a page or two pages of

The St. Paul Trade Journal recently
contained the following article con-
corning Market Day." There
may be some suggestions in the
article that are worthy of adoption
here, as Bemidji will have market
day August II:
The St. Paul Trade Journal has
been asked recently as to the CON-
parative value of market day and
street fairs in keeping trade at home.
For the benefit of those who have
written us as we'll as for the rest of
the large body of merchants in the
Northwest, who are considering the
merits of these two attractions, the
Trade Journal unhesitatingly answers
that the regular market day, held
say once a month, is far preferable
to the street fair, given for three
days to week once during the year.
The ideal plan is to have both,
but where finances will warrant onlv
one plan we would advise the mer<.
chants to spend their money on
series of market days rather than on
one week of street fair. The benefits
are overwhelmingly in favor of the
market days. TO illustrate: By
means of market day the farmers
