Baby Clothes Hammer.

Coat hangers OF various sorts have
long been familiar A novelty in this
line is the baby clothes hanger, which
is made in precisely the same fash
ion as a hanger for the clothes Of
adults. but of only half the size, q
coat hanger in miniature. Baby
clothes hangers made of twisted wire
are when untrimmed sold at a very
low price: trimmed with silk or with
ribbons they cost more. but they AFs
all very cute.

Pius in a Blanket.

Have you ever tried pigs in a
blanket for cold night and with thin
sandwiches made of brown or graham
bread and butter? Allow five or six
oysters for each person. Roll each
oyster in a tiny blanket of bacon, cut
thin as a wafer, and fasten this on
with a toothpick run straight through.
Now lay your pigs" in the blazer Of
your chatting dish and turn them over
and over until the bacon is crisp.
Serve on hot plates and watch them
melt among obs" and abs" of sat
isfactiOn. Cold slaw or green toma-
to pickle or piccalilli should be served
with these.

A Washable Knot.

When making knots on materials
that must be laundered it is well to
use the washable knot This does not
pull like the French one that is the
only one known to most embroiderers.
Stick the needle up through the ma
terial, wind the thread around it three
or four times, hold il very taut and
put the needle down again as in the
French knot Then take another stitch
in exactly the same place and over
the loops.
This holds the knot very firm and
prevents twisting when washed.

PRETTY AND CHEAP SCREEN.
Beautiful Ornament for Any Room In
the House.

Something beautiful in a window
screen will cost you only the price OF
some very thin blue lawn, providing
yon already have a frame, and many
homes have screen frames which have
once done duty and only await some
thing new in a covering. 1t takes a
double thickness Of lawn for the
screen, because the designs are pasted
lightly between the covers and when
the light shines through the screen
there is a beautiful shadow effect One
neat design is a stork standing amid
cat-tails and pond lilies, another is
punches of grapes and leaves. and the
odd little figures of dancing Dutch
children or pretty geisha girls make
good shadOwgraphs. A handsome
covering can be made with white
lawn. the pictures being in colOrs
which reflect through the material.
II is best to cut the patterns from
paper and paste very lightly to one
piece of the material after it has been
tackeG in place. Always iron the
pieces to the material to prevent
wrinkles. Or the patterns can be
cut from dress goods and attached in
The same manner. A large screen will
be attractive if covered with cheap
unbleached muslin and the figures cut
from heavy paper. which show in bold
relief on the white background.
Shades for lamps can be made in the
same manner, either with floral effect
or any of the conventional patterns
commonly used

CLEAN FEATHERS IN BAG.
Description of One Of the Best Meth
ods to Employ.

It is said one OF the best methods
for cleaning feathers in a bed is to
make a large cheesecloth bag and into
it put all of the feathers. The cheese
cloth bag and tick should be sewed
together at one corner, so that the
feathers can be worked from the tick
to the bag When the bag is full,
sew up the opening and place the bag
over the clothes line and beat gently
with rattan carpet beater. This
frees the feathers from all dust 1t is
possible for the sun to reach the
feathers, and they will get very light
and fluffy, increasing wonderfully in
bulk. When the tick is washed, the
feathers are returned in the same man
neT, the tick closed, then the cheese
cloth covering is washed and slipped
over the tick to protect it. Pillows
may be cleaned in the same manner.
or course this is not a good season
for cleaning feather beds, yet fresh
air will do as much as the sun to reno
Yate the feathers.

BRYAN PRINCIPAL SPEAKER
Second Days Session Of Deep Water
ways Convention.


Chicago, Oct. r.-When w. J. Bryan,
speaker of the day at the second ses-
sion of the deep waterways conven-
ton, reached the Auditorium theater
the audience arose in body, cheering
Justify and waving American flags. It
was a repetition of the reception &C.
corded w. H. Taft on Wednesday.
Previous to the arrival of the distin-
guished Nebraskan P. G.. Rennick of
Peoria entertained the audience with a
dialect poem and a letter was read
from J. J. Hill.
j. C. Freeman of Richmond, Va,
moved that Mr.. Hills paper be pub.
Ished and sent to every commercial
organization in the country. He de-
clared, amidst applause, that it was
the strongest plea for deep waterways
that the association could put forth.
President Kavanaugh stated that it
would be made part of the record of
the convention, of which a large num-
Der Of copies would be printed.
Mr.. Bryan showed only a trace of
hoarseness when he began speaking.
His address was repeatedly interrupt
ed by laughter or applause as he made
some humorous touch or drove home
IN argument.

sUBSCRIPTI0N.-.s5.O0 PER ANNUM
RUTLEDGE is WITH THE PIONEER.

Doc Rutledge of Bemidji has re-
signed his position as game warden,
and it is said will devote all his
spare time to the candidacy of Judge
Stanton. AS newspaper man, Doc
stands in class by himself and has
the ability to deliver the goods on
any proposition where printers ink
is required. If old P. T. Barnum
had ever run across Doc Rutledge,
he would have had him booked as
advance agent for the biggest show
on earth" and don't you think for a
moment that he wouldn't make
good.-Walker Pilot.
We fear our friend Dare has been
listening to some person who has
beeu stringing" him considerably.
We have resigned as game warden,
all right, but no one has authority to
state that we will devote our spare
time to the election of Judge
Stanton.
This assertion probably comes
from reading the International Falls
Echo, edited by hot-headed, vicious
character named Montgomery, who
dislikes Judge Stanton to the extreme
that he cannot say anything good,
but makes dirty insinuations against
anyone who has friendly feeling
for the judge. While I am an ad-
mirer of Judge Stanton and am proud
to call him my friend, I have other
work to do besides running his press
bureau, as has been stated by
Monty" And, along this line, I
am certain that anything Mont
gomery may say against Judge
Stanton will be taken for just what
it is worth-the bitter frothings of
a man whose temper has been
warped by jealousy and covetousness,
and who is unable to say a really
good word about anybody or any,
thing-a jealous minded, pin-headed
raver. I have paid but little atten-
ton to this fellow, knowing his true
character; but with men like Dare, it
is different.
Doc" Rutledge will be found at
the Pioneer office, where the latch
string will always be on the outside
for good fellows like Dare. Come
on up, aud we will have flaming
bee." You're very welcome.

Madison, Wis, Oct. United
States Senator La Toilette is to start

Commoner, however, and, In fact, the
Hame, If decided upon, has not been
made public. The announcement Of
the senator's intention was made by
him in person in the following state
ment which he gave out:
The increasing demands upon me
for addresses and for such printed
matter on representative government
as furnish for public distribution
have impressed me with the belief
that should establish a weekly pa
per, published primarily in support Of
government by the people. = 5
with assured support shall pro-
coed at once with the regular publica-
ton of weekly magazine, devoted to
the public interest upon lines broad
enough to appeal to the progressive
people of the entire country. I shall
print the records of public of1cials
and political parties on vital ques-
tfons. shall discuss men and meas
ures impartially and fearlessly.
with the assistance of able writer's
and correspondents will furnish
readers a summary Of important news,
a digest of proceedings in congress,
a report of the progress made in the
struggle for self-government in cities
and states and timely, well considered
contributions and editorial discussion
upon economic, financial and social
questions. The paper will deal not
only with these problems, but as wide
1y as possible with other questions of
human interest"

DAILY PIONEER "SCOOPED" OTHER DAlLlES,

The Bemidji Daily Pioneer was
the only evening paper published in
northern Minnesota that last Satur-
day evening gave the final scores of
the Ames- Minnesota game and the
score of the initial struggle between
the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit
Tigers for the worlds baseball
championship.
The Duluth Evening Herald gave
the baseball game between Chicago
and Detroit, but had no account OF
the Ames- Minnesota gridiron contest,
not even the final score.
Neither of the daily papers pub
lished at Crookston contained any,
thing about either game; the Brainerd
Dispatch had nothing; and neither
of the St. Cloud dailies or the Little
Falls Transcript.
The Pioneer "scooped" them all,
and only the special late sporting
editions of the twin city dailies pub
lished the news.
The Pioneer also gave the final
score of the idii-Bagley high
school football game, WHICH was
played here Saturday afternoon.
We are entitled to little pride in
the fact that we lead in furnishing
Pioneer subscribers with the news,
WHEN 1T is Observation-Disclosures,

The Letter That Brought Freedom to
Sir John Trevanion.
During the great rebellion Sir John
Trevanion, a distinguished cavalier,
was made prisoner and locked up in
Colchester castle. Sir Charles Lucas
and Sir George Lisle had just been
made examples of as a warning to
"malignants," and Trevanion had ev-
cry reason to expect similar end. As
he awaited his doom he was startled
by the entrance of the jailer, who
handed him a letter.
"May't do thee good" grOwled the
fellow. 'It has been well looked to be-
fore it was permitted to come to you"
Sir John took the letter, and the jailer
left him his lamp by which to read it.
