A Song of Beauty

Oh, sing me song of beauty; I'm tired
of the stressful song.
Pm weary of all the preaching, the argu-
ing right and wrong,
I'm fan to forget the adder that under
the leaf lies curled.
And dream Of the light and beauty that
gladdens the gray old world.
Oh, sing of the emerald meadows that
smile all day in the sum
The ripple and CLEAN of the rivers that
Oh through the meadows Jun!
Oh, sing of the singing branches Of trees
in the leafy woods,
And the balm for the heart that's hidden
afar in the solitudes.
The birds-lct them sing i'll your sing
ing and flash through the lines you
writ,
The lark with his Tilt in the morning,
the nightingale charming the night.
The butterfly over the flowers that
hovers OH painted wing
All these, let them brighten and Tighten
tie beautiful song you sing.
And let there be faces of lovers, and let
there be eyes that & low,
And let there be tears of gladness in
stead Of tears ofwoc.
And let there be clinging kisses Of lips
for time that part,
But never of tristlul shadow to darkcn

PARENTS ASK POLICE
To RESTRAIN DAUGHTER

Lokalia Mokuahi, sixteen-yearo old
girl, was arrested yesterday morning
and taken into court at the request
of her parents, who live in Moanalua.
They have had great trouble with her
aud have been unable to keep her at
home. At last, in despair, they appeal
ed to the police and Lokalia will have
the change of staying foreibly in one
place for some time to come.
There has been an epidemic of these
cases Young people of both sexes
who refuse to obey their parents or to
do any work, but who prefer to hang
around in undesirable company, are be-
coming very numerous and the police
are determined to put stop to this
rapidly growing menace to the morals
of the community.

volume and longevity. The sixteen
faithful ones stood calmly on the other
side of the car-line and waited, wait
ed and waited for their leader to cease
talking. But Achi would not cease
worth a whoop. He was there to speak,
and speak he would until his tongue
refused to wiggle any longer.
He started with McCandless and the
land laws. Clearly, precisely and lido
matically he carried his hearers through
the mystic mazes of the law and
proved that Motley was the only man
to untangle the web and spin the gilt
tering thread that leads the lost adj
venturer out to daylight and freedom.
When. McCandless had been undone
and consigned to the ash heap of
broken aspirations, he went a few
rounds with John Lane. Poor John.
One could but feel sorry for him as
he was metaphorically jabbed in the
face. punched in the solar plexus, beat
en- over the kidneys in the clinches and
then finally counted out. 1t was a sad
and narrowing spectacle that the glib
orator brought up and everybody gave
sigh of relief when he turned to
his next victim, who happened to be
Joe Fern.
Somewhat fatigued with his exer-
tons over the defeat of Lane, Achi
let Fern down a trife more easily. He
set upon the Democratic nominee s.
lack of mayoral law, whatever that
may be- And, what little knowledge
of this abstruse subject the innocent
Joe may have had before Achi started
in on him, it is certain that now it is
all gone.
After the crowd had dwindled down
TO an unluckv thirteen and even the
absorbed quintet was yawning, Achi de-
cided that he would stop, and SO fin
ished up with magnificent blaze of
verbal pyrotechnics in which he climb
ed the dizzy heights of metaphor and
finally finished in a soul stirring eli
max with himself as the great, the
one, the only law-maker. Iaw-giver and
lawinterpreter of the Territory.

Low VITALITY
A Dangerous Attendant Symptom Of
Anaemia.
Many Serious Disorders May Result
From Impoverished Blood but DR..
Williams Pink Pills Prevent
and Cure Them.

Besides the thinning of the blood in
anaemia there is low vitality which is
matter for serious consideration be-
cause it gives opportunity for any latent
trouble to develop. Thus, anaemie
(bloodless) people often have reason to
fear consumption, and the blood failing
to give proper nourishment to the
nerves, debility, neuralgia, and even
some form of paralysis may result.
Mrs. R. L. Harrod, of 413 South Ohio
avenue, Muncie, Ind, recommends DR..
Williams Pink Pills because they re-
stored her to health when all other
medicines failed. Fifteen years ago, -
she says, 'when 1 was living at Belle,
fontaine, Ohio, l was suffering with
anaemia. / was pale and had a wax
like color and was so short of breath
that l couldn't go up stairs without
stopping to rest or couldn t stand the
least little exertion. [ was run down
and very thin, didn't feel like eating
and didn t want to talk to or see any
one. My heart would palpitate so that
would feel weak. [ couldn It sleep
well, coughed constantly and had pains
under my shoulders. was so miserable
that | wanted to die.
"The doctors told me that my blood
was turning into water, and that was
going into decline and asked me if
there had been any consumption in my
family. They didn t help me at all and
had read so much about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills that I decided to try a box
of them. They helped me so much that
/ gave up all other medicine and pinned
my faith to them alone. I took several
boxes and in a few weeks was com,
pletely restored to health. l became
strong and healthy and was able to
work again. l know DR.. Williams
Pink Pills saved my life and 1 heartily
recommend them. -
A helpful booklet "Disease of the
Blood" giving more information about
anaemia viii be sent free upon request.
If you are suffering from impoverished
blood you cannot afford to wait another
day before giving DR.. Williams Pink
Pills a thorough trial. They are for
sale by all druggists, or will be sent,

THE EMPIRE.

The moving picture show certainly
fills a void in the lives of persons who
want plenty of amusement at little
cost. At the Empire, at the corner of
Bethel and Hotel streets, every want
in this line. Frequent changes and no
long waits is the rule there, and the
man who pays his dime for admission
never regrets parting with it. There
is to be an entire change today and
new views viii be shown.

Attractions.

The Brinkman Family Theater
presented fine program last evening
and all three performances at that
popular place of amusement were
attended by crowds.

made a hit with the crowd. The
boys do a sensational act, in which
they do the most difficult feats,
interspersed with side-splitting

very best offered by travelling team,
and receives well merited applaused.

TRAIN is NOW
CERTAIN FROM ST. PAUL
N. P. and M. 81. Railways Will Put on
Saturday Night Train to
Bemidjl.

Word comes from Brainerd to the
effect that the N. P. railway COM
pany, in conjunction with the
NJ. & |. railway company, will
run a weekend passenger train
from St. Paul to International
Falls, to be run over the line of the
NJ. & I. railway for the purpose of
allowing the people of the. twin
cities to reach Bemidji and other
summer resorts in the north nalf of
the state for a Sunday outing or a
longer stay among the beautiful
lakes of this region.
The train will make its initial
run on Friday May 20, because of
the fact that Saturday, May 80, is
Decoration day and the train will
give an opportunity for all who SO
desire to leave the twin cities for
the north to spend Decoration day.
The train will leave early enough
to reach Bemidji in the early hours
Of the morning giving long day
in any Of the resorts along the
line.
Every Saturday after May 80 this
weekend extra train will leave
St. Paul IN the evening. The train
will be equipped with Pullman
sleepers and will in every way be
made up to provide comfort and
convenience to the twin city and
other patrons who may desire to
take advantage of the train and
spend day up north"
The installing of this train will
mean much to Bemidii, as many
twin city people who have desired
to visit this city could not do so
for the reason that they could not
get away from their work on a
Saturday with any assurances of
getting back to the city on Mon
day.

The following short sketch of the
play is of interest:
In this play Shylock is a wealthy
gambler, who became rich by betting
on football games and renting
ponies' to football players, who
had no time to get their lessons in
any other way" Like Shakespeare
Shylock, he has several character
istics of the passionate Jew. Instead
of demanding a pound of flesh, as in
the original play, he demands that,
if Antonio does not return the
pony" within four weeks, a pound
of hair to be cut off nearest his
(Antonio's) brains should be the
forfeit. Through neglect, the
pony" is not returned and Shylock
demands the forfeiture of the bond
and has Antonio arrested during the
great football game. In the darkest
hour he is saved by the wit of his
friends 1Bassonio's) sweetheart,
Porto.

suitable memorial of the Class oil

BY BOARD OF CONTROL
The City Council Will Repair the
Present Jail or Build a
New One.

held last evening, over which
William McCuaig presided, COM
munication was read from the State
Board of Control wherein that body
emphatically condemned the lookup
which is being used by the city of
Bemidji for the incarceration of
prisoners and Migrants therein. The
communication was something of a
surprise to the council, and consider
able discussion was INDUCED in as
to the proper method to pursue for
relief from the situation. The con-
census of opinion seemed to favor
the erection of new building, but
the condition of the city's finances
showing floating Indebtedness
(accordlng to the treasurer's report)
of something more than $4,000,
seemed to preclude the erection of
the new building. However, i'm
mediate action will be taken to put
the present building in a condition
to confirm with the requirements of
the State Board of Control, or else
erect new building, the communi-
cation being referred to the building
committee.
Mayor Pogue was granted the
further sum of SIS to complete the
