NV AusGXShg song was we'll
received.
Es s,sstssAee6lhs Gettysburg Address was
readily Prof. Richie, whose strong
voice gave very good expression to
the most excellent wording of that
famous speech.
Little Esther McGhee, who is but
II years of age, recited, of With
Your Hat as the Flag Goes By" and
captivated the crowd by her very
able defamation.
The members of School No. 4,
District 10, gave very acceptable
flag drill.
Mrs. Peart rendered song that
was generously applauded.
A number of girls from the Be-
midi school gave a flag drill that
was a little the best of anything of
the kind ever given in this city.
The drill consisted of intricate
marching, exercises with the flags
and the rendering of the Star
Spangled Banner" in most effective
manner. The children had been
drilled by Misses Ruby E. Pilot,
Mary F. Tschumperlin and Bernice
Stoker, and the drill was perfect.
The children were applauded to
the echo for the patriotic demon
stration.
Hon. B. F. Wright of Park Rapids
was introduced by Commander
Bailey, and delivered the Grafton of
the day.
The speech was fine address on
patriotic sentiments, interspersed
with feeling allusion to the grand
men who saved the country in time
of need, many of whom were still
alive to join in the exercises of the
day.:
lowing to lack of space the
Pioneer is unable to do jnstice to
the speech today, but will give an
extended outline of the address in
tomorrow's paper.)
Mrs. J. E. Youngren sang I'VE
Shall Meet, But We Shall Miss Him, {"
in most effective manner, her
voice blending very nicely with the
sentiment of the song.
Commander Bailey announced
that, owing to the wind and the
unpropitious weather, the progrom
of strewing flowers on the lake would
be abandoned.
Company K. gave another drill,
Second Lieutenant Kelly in COM
mand, and the boys again acquitted
themselves with honor, receiving
well-merited applause.
The audience was dismissed, and
the soldiers again went through a
drill, on the banks of the lake.
This concluded the best Memorial
exercises ever held in Bemidji.

COMMITTEE TO MEET
JUDGE CARTHEL'S RESIGNATION
 UNDER CONSIDERATION.
The Executive Committee of the Ala bama Sunday School AssOciatiO to Meet To-Day For That
 Purpose.

To-day at 12 o'clock the Executive Committee of the Alabama Sunday School Association will meet in the directors rooms of the Y. M. c. A. to accept the resignation of Judge Jo- seph Carthel, general secretary of the association for the State, and to con slider filling the place.
 Judge Carthel has received a call from the Tennessee Association to re- peat his successful work in Alabama in that badly disorganized State. Af- ter lengthy consideration Judge Car thel decided that he could do more work in Tennessee and sent his resig- nation to the Alabama Association.
 It Is a recognized fact that Alabama is the best State in the Union In the matter of Sunday School organization, and Judge Carthel had a large part of the wopk upon his shoulders as gen. eral secretary of the State. So suc- cessful has his work been that the Tennessee Association decided that a more competent worker could not be found. and the call was extended to him.
 Tennessee is a very badly organized State, very few counties comparatively, being organized upon a working basis. Alabama on the other hand has every county organized. and every county on a thorough working basis.
 The Executive Committee at its meet ing to-day will accept Judge Carthel's resignation with the deepest of regret and will doubtless pass resolutions commenting his most excellent work Who his successor will be can not be determined until after the meeting Other business will come before the meeting.

book to the man who had once been known as Sir Richard Gaunt As a child he had been forced to read 1t. and few texts and facts had re- mained in his memory, even in his darkest hours of sin and degradation.
 When, in the wastes of the Arabian desert, he awoke to the possibilities of new life, and when clean living and pure air and solitude, and time for re- flection, had worked a change in his brain and heart. he had no opportunity of studying the sacred book All his plans for the future were founded on his own consciousness of what was right and wrong. and his thoughts only dwelt on the evils existing in the world and possible remedy for them.
 The first copy of the Bible came into his hands when he was working his way back to England on tramp steamer. 1t belonged to a fellow stoker, who had, to use the mans own words. "got religion" The book was grimed with coal-dust. the cover and some of the outer pages were charred with fire. An angry atheist had once thrown it into the furnace. and had been laid up with broken jaw for the rest of the voyage. The history of this little volume appealed to Sir Richards imagination
 He had read it carefully with all the joy and enthusiasm of one who makes his first acquaintance with a great book at an age when he is cable to understand it..
 The result was exactly as might have been expected. The man, whose sense of the true and beautiful had only just come into being, was entranced by the beauty and majesty of the greatest book in the world. Its words satisfied all the indefinite longings of his heart. But. tonight as he turned over its pages in the hope of finding some com fort. he failed to discover that for which he sought. He read several pas- sages, which he had marked in pencil, but they only rose up in witness against him. There was the parable of the rich young man.
 "Go. sell that thou hast and give to the poor" And then. Tt is easier for camel to go through the eye of a needle. than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God"
 | And then the story of Dives and Lazarus, and so on. and so on. Every passage was marked. and every word seemed to accuse him. He had entered into a compact with the richest man in the world to overthrow the god of Riches.

old picture which hung in one of the rooms at Gaunt Royai--that was all;
 nothing, surely. to strike fear into the heart of a man. Such coincidences were common enough Nearly every portrait of the dead has it's counter
 part among the living Besides, his
 Aunt Gladys had not been the possessor of typical 0aunt. face.
 The man paced to and fro across the
 room in the darknes, fighting down the wild Idea which had come into his
 mind. The simple coincidence might
 not have troubled him. But there was
 another fact which had to be consider ed. There was the woman herself, the
 mother of the child by a former hus-
 band, Something in the woman's face
 and voice had reminded him of the
 past. But fifteen years work great
 changes. and there is little of the girl left In the worldly woman of thirty three.
 Tt is monstrous. impossible" he | said to himself "The betrayed woman sinks; she does not rise. She dies of 1 shame and starvation; she does not be- ! come the wife of the richest man in the world. Besides. there was a for mer husband. Lampirthy would have satisfied himself of that; he is a prac-
 tical man of the world. He would not give his name and fortune to alt is a
 fancy of madman."
 He stopped. and pressed his hands
 over his eyes, as though to shut out what he saw in the darkness. And | then he held his breath and listened.
 He fancied he heard voice. @ May the dead rise up against me.

That text seemed to be written in letters of flame. He closed the book. and fell upon his knees in prayer. Give me strength, O God" he cried strength to conquer all the evil that have to overcome. Give me guidance in my difficulties Teach me the way that I must go."
 Then, thoroughly exhausted with his mental and bodily conflict he blew out the candle. and lay down on his rugs to sleep.
 He wrapped the thin covering around him. and pressed his head on the unS yielding pillow, but he could not sleep. The air round him seemed to chill his body and the hard floor seemed like a slab of fee. His brain was still active and restless, and the events of the day were photographed clearly in the darkness.
 He had achieved great victory hc had enlisted a great power on his side a tremendous battle loomed in the near future, in which one man was go- ing to grip the whole Press in his hand and turn 1t against the worship of money and luxury and pleasure. Yet he was not content. He felt that he had sacrificed something in the de- sire to conquer. Yet what he, had lost was intangible, and he could not give | a name to it.
 "Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.' ' That was the text that echoed In his brain. He wondered If 1t were possible | to make Mammon the servant of God. And then a tender little face rose be- fore his eyes. flushed, beautiful lit- tie face framed in costly furs. wilful, yet fresh and innocent as a flower. And once more his mind harked back to Gaunt Royal, and the grim cliffs that faced the sea
 He could not understand the connec- tion, and he concentrated all his mind upon this curious coincidence. Why should the face of the little girl have reminded him of his home in Wales7 And then slowly out of the darkness there rose the clear vision of room. and picture which hung upon the Gladys Gaunt. painted by a local genius. She had always been reckon ed one of the beauties of the family, and even at the age of fourteen she was thought worthy of being immor- talized on canvass. He recalled the hideous dress of this early Victorian period. and the sweet. childish face. which had made even the dress seem | beautiful.
 And, as he remembered, he sprang to his feet and struck at the darkness with his hands. as though he were face to face with some enemy that he could not see.
 What terror lurked there in the dark ness, What vision more real and sub stantial than any of his dreams of a new world? What was it that he fear ed? Was it more than a phantom of his brain? Was he the victim of over wrought nerves and a diseased imagi- nation?

 Father Francis did not answer, but q faint smile played about the corners of his mouth.
 Good might" said Mrs. Hill, and she closed the door behind her with crash that rattled the window. He heard her steps creaking down the stairs.
 In half an hours time he went out into the streets. and continued the work that he had set himself to do, The result was not gratifying to an enthusiast He was with difficulty descued from a crowd of angry roughs by a policeman. and then from the hands of the law by the intervention of a kindly clergyman. His face had been cut by stone. and there was a nasty bruise on his forehead. His limbs ached.

 Paris. Aug. 3.-The Abbe Lemaire law for the simplification of the for malities of marriage, passed year ago, has fulfilled the expecation of It's au- thor.
 The figures for the last six months of 1907, just published. show an in- crease of S.7s3 marriages over the corresponding period for the preceding year, bringing the total number for six months up to 160.6S0, the highest recorded in French history except for 1872 Accounted for by ceremonies de- layed by the Franco-Prussian war) and 1913 when marriage was sought as a refuge from conscription.
 The old law was not only exceeding ly vexatious, requiring nineteen sepa- rate certificates including those of res idence, birth, death of parents and grandparents, or consent of living, military service etc, but costly as well. The minimum expense was $10 and while one of She contractants was 2 foreigner, necessitating legalizing transactions the cost was much great CT. These difficulties. it was realized, rendered the marriage ceremony prac- tically impossible in many cases, es- pecially between the young. The nat ural result was free union. It Is ex- pected that the law, by increasing the number of legal marriages will corre- spondingly decrease the number of le- pitimate births, which has been very high in France.
 This was the effort in Belgium after tbe French code was discarded In i89s. Since then the number of mar riages has largely increased and the number of illegitimate births has fall en from an average of nineteen pei thousand unmarried women to four. teen.

 Nine members of Company "C" of the Sixtieth Alabama Infantry of the Confederate army will hold a reunion at Barachias on next Friday and Sat- urday, at which time the old stories and old scenes will be gone over in story. There will be two or three visitors to the reunion of this famous company, but the reunion is not to be a public one.
 We have had reunions for the past thirty years every single year." said Judge Fuller yesterday. At the first reunion there were some twenty odd of us, but the ranks have gradually been thinning until there win be but nine of us to meet at Barachias on next Saturday.
 Col. J. W. Sanford was colonel of the Sixtieth Alabama during the war days, and he will be with us again at the reunion on Saturday. Formerly the reunion was made a sort of coun- ty reunion for all of the veterans, but lately, on account of the fewness of our members, we make the reunion just for the old company"
