WELCOME TO SCOTS
This Will Be Accorded Ameri-
CCan HomeComerS at Ed
inburg Exhibition.
A DAY FOR AMERICANS.

Local native Scotchmen have been
made the recipients of letters from W.
Lindsay, one of the promoters of the
Scottish National exhibition which will
be held at Edinburg this year. In his
letter Mr.. Lindsay states:
1t is prevalently believed by Scots
men in the home country that the num-
Der of American citizens who will visit
the Scots capital this year from May
to October-which is exhibition time
will far exceed the numbers which in
the past have shown by their presence
the kind regard which they bear to
the little Scots nation.
Far severed by leagues of sea, but
forever allied and animated by the
same intense love of freedom, America
and Scotland are one in fraternal feel
ing. Remembering this as a special
time of exchange of international Cour-
tesy. those in conn ection with the
Scottish National exhibition are sin
cerely anxious to show the high re-
spect in which they hold the people of
America. They earnestly wish if pos
sible to devote a day to the worthy
commemoration of Americas independ-
ence. 1t is frankly acknowledged by
everyone that Americas Day would be
one Of the most popular features, the
meaning of which, it is worthy of be-
ing noted, is known in every home and
school in Scotland. 1t would doubly
add to the significance and the pleas
ure of the celebration of Americas day
if there were a large assemblage Of
Americans to receive our hearty Scot
fish welcome. Efforts are being ex-
erted to realize this object and to re-
call to Scots people the glory of a day
the historic 4th of July--which is as
dear to Americans as Bannockburn
Day is to the patriotic Scot"

THE BLUEBEARD STORY.
1t Has n Mythical Rather Than .
Psychological Origin.

The fascinating story of Bluebeard
has a mythical rather than a mytho-
logical origin. No one has found his
prototype in the Vedas or in the old
Greek or Roman authors. The story
is supposed to be of French origin,
and it has even been suggested tina.
Bluebeard was no other than the much
married Henry VIII. There is, how
ever, better reason for believing that
the original was Giles de Laval, lord
Of Riaz, who was marshal of France
early in the fifteenth century. He was
a brave soldier whose exploits in the
wars between England and France are
recorded in history. According to
Mizeray, he murdered his wives as
soon as he tired Of them. and was him
self eventually strangled in 144O
The story of Laval has, however, not
many points Of resemblance, for there
is no mention of a key, and Giles de
Laval, moreover, used to entice per-
sons Of both sexes to his castle for the
sake Of their blood, which he wanted
for certain incantations he INDUCED In.
Nor, indeed. does the story 1T in with
our own Henry VIII, and we are left
to believe that, whatever the origin,
the key and Sister Ann were added for
the sake Of effect A variant Of the
story Of Giles de Laval is told by Hol-
1nshed, in whose version the name is
Giles de Retz. Marquis de Laval, who
lived in Brittany, and was strangled
and burned for the murder of his seven
wives. DR.. c. Taylor, it may be added,
regarded the story simply as fiction. a

Miles Won't Build.

C. H. Miles has abandoned his
project of rebuilding the Miles hotel
at Hibbing, and the Hibbing
Tribune says of the matter:
Geo. A. Markham returned Tues
day evening from st. Paul, where he
has been the past three weeks, pre-
pairing plans with c. H. Miles fol
the rebuilding of Miles Hotel. The
plans called for a one story building
at present, 20 feet high, finished in
the finest shape. Mr.. Miles was
willing to spend about $4,000 for
such a building, but the lowest bid
received for the work was nearly
$4,000 and from that up. These
bids caused Mr.. Miles to give up
the thought of building this year; in
fact it is understood that he has
definitely abandoned all thought Of
building"

secretary himself has declined to make
any move in the matter, but his
friends have not felt restrained by
that fact and already they feel that
they have received such encourage
ment that they are now preparing to
move In force upon the convention
delegates at Chicago.
One reason for their confidence is
asserted to be their belief that the
strenuous opposition offered by the
Fairbanks contingent to the recognt-
ton Of Southern Taft delegates in the
battle before the national committee,
now in progress, makes the coupling
Of the names of Taft and Fairbanks
on the one ticket impossible.
Therefore Secretary Cortelyou's
advance guard will start for Chicago
at once, led by Assistant Secretary
Louis Coolidge, q Bostonian of long
experience in public affairs and with
wide acquaintance with the various
boom manag srs now In Chicago. Cor
nelius N. Bliss, one time member of
the Mckinley cabinet and treasurer of
the last Republican campaign commit
tee, also is said to be bound for Chi

while among other political leaders
expected to espouse his cause is said
to be Senator Murray Crane Of Mas

anxiously desired by the administers
ton forces.

RALPH SAYS DRAINAGE
IS GOOD ADVERTISEMENT
Better for the world to Know We Have
Water Than Want Irri-
CATION.

Some think it is not a good adj
vertisement for Minnesota to talk
about our extensive drainage work."
says George A. Ralph. L hold the
contrary. It emphasizes the fact
that Minnesota is a well-watered
state. It is easier to get water
off the land once and for all by
ditching than to put water on the
land by irrigation bitches, with the
continual expense and nuisance OF
pumping and regulating the flow.
Our land, when once drained, is the
equal of any, and with state and
local drainage operations, we are
making new farms every year to
supply the demand for land and in
crease the wealth of the state.
This is our big year for work,
and next season there will be less
state work because we cannot let
contracts this fall to be paid out of
next years appropriation. We must
wait till the legislature makes the
appropriation, and cannot let con
tracts till late next spring, which
will leave a short season for the
work. What we should have is a
continuous appropriation for drain
age. Under the new law it is only
a revolving fund, and comes right
back into the treasury as fast as
the land is solo,"

Try to Do Business Next

It is apparent, judging from the
present indications, that bunch"
OF one-armed beggars and general
get-the-money fakirs are heading
toward Bemidii, for the purpose
of preying upon the generosity of

in the city next week; and it be-
hooves the city authorities to put
the rum on these worthless before
they get started to " grating"
Yesterday a one-armed fraud was
making the rounds of the printing
offices, getting cards printed, which
contained sympathetic poem that
would bring tears to the eyes of a
craven image. Later the bleer-
eyed gent was noticed Stacking
his thirst at local refreshment
parlor, with quite a load of the

The police gobbled" the gent
with the aid-petitioning proposition
and retained him at the city Jail
until this morning, when he was
escorted to the city limits and given
god-speed on 'his journey thence
ward; and he has gone to greener
fields and pastures new.
A gentleman(?) with one leg, a
pair of clutches, and woe-begone,
hungry look, started in this forenoon
to solicit aims in the business dis
trict and was taken into the con-
fdence of the police, who gently
whispered into his unwilling ear
that he "vamose.'' He's gone to
join the one-armed tourist"
An immediate stop should be put
to this manner of bleeding the
public, Every man who has no
visible means of support, and who
will not work but prefers to beg
aims from generous souls on his
"help-the-poor" game, should be
unceremoniously hustled out of town.

fellows; keep them going. y
