A Great Artist Enraued.

? Alma-Tadema has told a story Of tho
fate Of two unsuccessful pictures Of
bis student days. One of them was re-
turned unsold by the committee Of the
Brussels exhibition in 1859. The SUBJ
ject was house on fire, with people
rescuing the victims, The artists fell
low students were asked into Alma
Tadema's studio and were invited to
jump through the canvas, the owner
of it leading the way by leaping head
first through the oily flames.
The other unsuccessful effort was a
large sized square picture that came
back again and again to it's creators
easel until at last it was cut out Of
its frame and given to an old woman
to use as table cover. ~-a
The picture was praised by at least
one person who appreciated it's excel
lence, so AlmaTadema used to de-
clare, for the old woman was wont to
remark that it was much better than
those common oilcloth things that al
ways let the water through, as the pic
ture of Alma Tadema's making was a
good thick one, with plenty of paint
on it.-Minneapolis Journal.

How Long Do Dreams Last?

How long do dreams last? A Ger
man savant is Investigating the mat
ter. But there is scarcely a dolt who
could not give him points and has not
dreamed centuries in seconds. The
dream, it may be stated. comes in the
few seconds before the awakening
and has no relation to time or space.
This is clear enough to the man who
has ever been placed under an anaes-
thetic for short while and found
time and space eliminated. 80. :
AS an experiment this writer was
placed under a whiff of chloroform by
a doctor. Absolute unconsciousness
Bupervened, then a return Of con-
sciousness, the questions of the uni
verse, up through layers of conscious
ness, with always the feeling, 'Now 1
have solved it, and the "No" and the
"Yes"~ alternating through centuries of
thought, and then the quizzical face
of the doctor, remembered after mill
lioL years. .'How long have you been
under?" The experimenter struggled
up and saw the doctor with his watch
in hand. "Ten seconds" the doctor
said, and the dreamer had been out

Just a Fish Story.

Forty years ago, when my father was
captain of an East India trading ship,
while off the coast of Africa near the
equator the ships carpenter was taken
sick and died. He was sewed up in
canvas, and with him were sewed his
kit Of tools and grindstone for ballast
to sink him. Services were held and
the body committed to the sea.
-Four days later the ships boy fell
overheard, and a great shark came up
under the stern and swallowed the boy
before he could be reached.
The next day the shark was still fol-
lowing the ship. A shark hook was
baited and put over the stern, and the
shark was caught, but was so large it
could not be taken on board, and they
were obliged to shoot him. He looked
so plump and large the mate, who was
an old whaler, wanted to go over the
side and cut the fish open. He was
lowered over and cut hole in the
shark and was surprised to hear voices
and on looking in saw the ships boy
turning the grindstone for the ships
carpenter, who was sharpening his
ak to cut their way out ..~--~.-s.
My father, who Is eighty years old,
can vouch for this that 1t is fish
gtory.-Boston Journal.

DENOMINATION ! / \ OF
HUGHES III FAVORED .::.|
Result Of Conference Held at
Presidents Home.

New York, Aug. 2: James s. Sher-
man, Republican candidate for vice
president, has made the announcement
that at the conference with President
Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill it was
developed that the consensus of opin-
ion was favorable for the nomination
of Governor Hughes as candidate to
succeed himself He said he spoke
for no individual, but that this belief
was based on the fact that Hughes
candidacy was broader than the Ques-
tions involved in New York state poll
tics. 2.-< @--.s>
Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock was
present when Mr.. Sherman stated the
result of the conference and he as
sented to all the vice presidential
nominee said. The statement unques-
tionably will put an end to organized
opposition to the candidacy of Gov
ernor Hughes, although It's possible
that certain individuals will continue
to voice their protest against the con-
tinuance of Mr.. Hughes as the head
of the Republican ticket in the state.
With President Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft,
Mr.. Sherman, Mr.. Hitchcock, several
New York members of congress and
other state leaders for Mr.. Hughes it
is not believed possible that the fight
against his denomination can gain any
headway. In fact political leaders are
now predicting that no other name
will be presented to the convention.

Our 'steemed contemporary The
Bemidji Sentinel is again on guard
and with the pulp wood gun has
shot another wad tinctured with the
stencil of undiluted failure as an .ex-
ponent of the Fourth Estate. The
little dig which "Growler" has
given us not only shows a desire to
distort facts but connotes pusilan-
imous pessimism born of rank regen-
erAcy as regards the conduct of a
clean newspaper. It is source of
curiosity to US to discover that of
the scores of notices found in other
papers who have noted our stand
about the continuance of the daily,
the Sentinel prints the only deroga-
tory remark. The Pioneer furnishes
work to a good sized force and pays
out something like $1,000 year
in salaries, and the money which is
brought into Bemidji the greater per
centage is retained here, invested
and spent in the city. Taken per-
sonally, this idea which has soured
on the colonel's stomach until he
was forced to emit it, is as funny a
bit of unconscious humor as we have
noted for some time.

The Supposed Life on Mars.

Not only do the observations we have
scanned lead us to the conclusion that
Mars at this moment is inhabited, but
they land us at the further one that
these denizens are Of an order whose
acquaintance was worth the making
Whether we ever shall come to con-
verse with them in any more instant
way is question upon which science
at present has no data to decide. More
important to us is the fact that they
exist. made all the more interesting
by their precedence Of us in the path
Of evolution. Their presence certainly
GUSTS us from any unique or self cen
tered position in the solar system, but
SO with the world did the Copernican
system the Ptolemaic, and the world
survived this deposing change. So
may man. To all who have cosmo-
planetary breadth Of view it cannot
but be pregnant to contemplate extra
mundane life and to realize that we
have warrant for believing that such
life now inhabits the planet Mars

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. The

The answer was made in an address
the Republican presidential candidate
made before a gathering of several
thousand Virginia Republicans who
came to the mountains to see and
hear him and to celebrate virginia
day. To make his point perfectly
clear Mr.. Taft referred to the first
election of Mr. Mckinley "as one Of
the most intelligent and effective ex.

country whether his administration

pie"
Preceding Mr.. Taft in short ad-
dress Congressman c. S. Slemp had
this to say in answer to the same
question: "Can it be possible that he
(Bryan) had reference to the political
situation in Virginia? Does he not
know that under existing laws 60 per
cent OF the white and 80 per cent of
the colored population of voting age
have been disfranchised? Does he
not know that they have no voice in
the government of either this state or
this nation and can he call this rule
of the people? No wonder Mr.. Bryan
will make no political speeches in the

Halevy and the Due de Morny.

It may not be generally known in
what circumstances Halevy owed his
advancement in the French civil serv-
ice to the Due de Morny. The duke, an
amateur of the arts, had begun to write
the ibretto Of a comic opera Of which
Offenbach was to provide the music.
He found that he had not the time-or
perhaps that he had not the talent-to
finish it. He sought a collaboration, and
Halevy came to the rescue and kept
his secret. When, therefore, the Office
Of the ministry Of Algeria, which he
held, was suppressed he had no hesita-
tion in asking his august patron for the
post which he sought on the Journal
Ofciel. "The very thing!" exclaimed
the duke. "There is six months vaca-
tion when the chamber is not sitting,
so that you will have plenty of time
to write for the stage" And he gave
him a note to the head of the depart
ment, consisting of the simple words,
Make arrangements to give the bearer
the post for which he will ask you. -
