"ORAM AMOK I"
The Bloodthirsty Malay When He Is
Maddened by Frenzy.


"Amok" is religious fanaticism, n
madness under which a man makes up
his mind to kill any one he can until
he himself is killed. Brought on. by
drink or. religion or from whatever
cause, the process is the same The
mailman seizes his creese and rushes
headlong down the street, cutting at
every one he meets. TO any one who
has seen Il creese or a parang further
detail is unnecessary.
A man running amok is as q dog
with hydrophobia, but the panic caus-
ed by the former is by far the worse.
Like the mad dog, the mailman is fol-
lowed by. a noisy rabble, who sooner or
later run into their man and extermi-
nate him. When this vengeful rabble
is made up of bloodthirsty Malays and
Cinnamon its wild rage and fury are
beyond control, beyond description.
The clamor and bloodcurdling yells Of
the pursuing crowd and the ever near
ing shout Of "Oran amok, oran amok!''
are incidents which can never be for
gotten by any one who has seen or
heard them. The bravest quails when
suddenly turning the corner of a street
his ears are greeted with the cry Of
"Oran arnok" and few yards off he
sees a Malay running straight at him,
brandishing in his hand the bloody
creese with which he has already
slaughtered all in his way.-London
Chronicle.

Gifted Reader Heard at Arcadia,

@. E. w. Griffith, the noted
Shakespearean reader appeared in
a series of readings, talks and
approximations at Arcadia College
on December 18th and 18th.
Mr.. Griffith, known from one
end of the continent to the other,
throughout Canada and Europe, is
acknowledged to be Americas
greatest reader of Shakespeare.
Gifted with a wonderful person
atty that charms even the casual
acquaintance, he fairly enchants
the one privileged to hear him.
Whether it be the brooding Ham
let, the loving and finally dis
traught Ophelia, the cruel or the
cunning of Shakespeare's charac-
tiers, by the very force Of his
power, he reaches down into the
hearts of his auditors and draws
their heart-strings responsive to
his own.
This season, Mr.. Griffith has
added Dante to his list, and is
giving this great poem with SPLEEN

The Niagara Rainbow OF Toronto
has this to say of Dante:
In the Divine Comedy, Dante, the great
poet OF the middle ages, has done for christi.
anity, what Homer and Virgil did for pagan
ism. Dante Is a didactic, law-giving writer
but he is a poet; hence his dogmas and
morals are all wrought ont I'm pl0winO i'm

Inferno, Dante, guided BY his master, Virgil,

DIR. George Soltau, who

the conference, says

strongest program ever put on the

cock, D. D., Oak Park, Ill.
Our speakers are men of inter-
national reputation and each one
is a scholar and student of recog-
nized ability. 1t will be observed
that this is distinctively Bible
conference. We recognize the i'm
propriety of trying to bring into
this conference those things which
belong to applied christianity, rather
than to a study of the word and
a knowledge of the truth. Our aim
has been to get a course that will
appeal to the ministery and
christian teachers throughout north
ern Minnesota, irrespective of church
afiliation. We have given large

1t would be difficult matter to
secure better or more able faculty
than the instructors who have been
secured, and the teachers of this
section are to be congratulated with
being favored with the attendance
of those secured to conduct the
school this year. So many able in
atructors cannot but inspire con-
fdence and make the success of the
school certain.

Professor Stewart has arranged a
very interesting program for school
officers day. Special exercises will
be held for this occasion on July 9.
This is one of the valuable meet
ings and every member of school
board in Beltrami county who can
possibly be present on that date
should attend.
The subjects TO be offered dur
ing the term will include all studies
required for first and second grade
certificates, and it is believed that
every one can be Accommodated. Be-
midi was given an additional in
structor last year and with an in
creased number in attendance and
additional instructor has been pro-
vlded this year, that more thorough
work may be had. This makes the
school much more valuable to the
teachers and places the school in a
position where advice and special
instruction in particular cases may
be taken care of and a thorough
training in elementary subjects to
given in such a way as to be of
lasting benefit to all who enter the
different classes formed for study
and recitation.
The summer school will be held
in the high school building where
the students will have access to the
school library and books free if
returned in as good condition as
received.
County Superintendents w. B.
Stewart and Anna Shetland have
carefully planned the work to be
taken up so that every class formed
may be for the best interest of the
teachers of the two counties and it

The Commercial West says of

The Commercial West says of
Northern Minnesota:
This northern half of Minnesota
has about one-third the population
density of the southern half, but has
natural resources in timber, water
power, iron ore and uncultivated
agricultural land that are perhaps
unequalled by any other like section
of the globe. Northern Minnesota
has the area of Ohio and substan-
TALLY as great natural resources as
Ohio once had, but with only one
tenth of Ohio's present population.
Northern Minnesota is the equal of
Switzerland in area, but is greatly
its superior in arabic soil and rail
road facilities, as we'll as in mineral
and timber wealth and water power
resources; but it has only one-hfth
the population of Switzerland.
This makes it plain that North
ern Minnesota offers rare opportu-
mites to the settler and investor, as
well as the captains of industry in
mining, manufacturing and agricul-
ture. All that this great industrial
empire needs is more population, and
located as it is at the center of the
continent North America, with the
best of transportation facilities from
all directions, the influx of immigra-
ton will be speedily forthcoming
indeed, is now swiftly on the way.
Let it not be inferred, however,
that Northern Minnesota, notwith-
standing its vast abundance of un-
seized and unexploited resources, is
a bowling wilderness. It already
has more railroad mileage than
Maine or Massachusetts,. 1t has
close upon 100000 population, all
busily engaged in the forest, mines.

freight tonnage by rail exceeds the
total for all New England.
Its vessel tonnage clearing at
the port of Duluth exceeds the total
freight tonnage clearing from New
York. The Mesaba and Vermilion
iron ranges, the greatest in the
world. are only partially developed.
while the new range, the Guyana,
is in the cradle of its first exploita-
tion.
In water power resources the
great water power at International
Falls, the equal of that at Mime
apolis and the equally great water
power on the St. Louis river between
Cloquet and Duluth, are two out
of the several score which Northern
Minnesota is yet to develop.
Among the finest agricultural
lands in the world are the famous
wheat lands of the Red River valley
in the western section; and yet they
do not exceed in fertility the timber
lands and unreclaimed swamp lands
of the great timbered plateau sur
rounding the Mississippi headwaters
and extending north to Rainy river.
In this fertile section there are
still upwards of 100000 acres of
government lands subject to home
stead entry and something like
1000 acres of state lands which can
be bought for S. to SIS per acre on
easy terms with long term payments
at 4 per cent. The threat at the
prosperity of this region from the
tonnage tax was happily averted by
a timely veto by Governor Johnson.
There is probably no section of the
west today which offers greater
opportunities to the enterprising
young man than Northern MINI e.
