Donations by BeItrami Co. School
Children,

The following is list of the
school of Beltrami county which
have contributed to the Governor
John Albert Johnson Memorial
Fund with the amount given by
each forwarded to the County Sup
erintendent. A short time ago the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
sent out circular letters asking that
the school children be given an
opportunity to make voluntary
offering to this memorial fund.
The limited time for giving notice
rendered it impossible for many to
receive the same, yet many who
did, have responded so literally
that those who have not had the
opportunity may feel proud that
their more favored friends have done
so nicely.

hospital, to the board of county COM
missioners of Beltrami county, which

1.-THE Lion and The Mouse.

In the struggle between "Ready
Money" Ryder, financial king and
Shirley Rossmore, the daughter of
the man whom he has intrigued
against and who is in love with Ry-
der's son. Charles Klein has in '::The
Lion and the Mouse' brought about
complications that furnish excellent
dramatic material and that give rise
to dramatic scenes Of an intensity
and appeal such as have not been
witnessed on the stage in recent
wears. For the Interpretation of ITS
principal characters Mr.. Harris
shows much wisdom in the selection
of an especially fine cast to interpret
the play which is worthy in every
way Of the best actors. The date an
nounced for this production is Mon-
day. October 25.

The Coming of the President,

President Taft will visit Columbia
on November 6 and will upon that
day break bread with his entertain.
erS. the citizens Of South Carolina
IN the State house.
Almost to the day III years and
six months before, George Washing
ton. serving his first term as the frs;
president Of the United States. came
to Columbia and dined III the State
house with his South Carolina enter
tainers.
Other presidents have ''passed
through' Columbia, but during thai
period Of more than a century no
other president Of the United States
has been a guest within the gates of
South Cardinals capital. It may be
said. therefore, that the visit of Mr..
Taft will be an ''event" as unusual
as it could we'll be.
There IS a feature of the presi-
dents entertainment at luncheon
which may also have marked the hos
pitality extended to President WASH
ington. although there are probably
no records extant to shed light upon
that earlier dinner. While President
Taft will come to Columbia at the
invitation Of the Chamber Of Com
merce, in which the municipality,
through its council, and the State,
through the governor. joined his en-
tertainment will not be an "otficial >
function. Nomipally the guest Of
the Stale and the city, his real hosts
will be certain citinzens Of Columbia
and certain other citizens: Of the
State Of South Carolina.
Statement by Chairman Hoyt.
When Shown Senator Tillman 5
Statement last night, Mr.. James A.
Hoyt, chairman Of the invitation COM
mittee, said:
Il would be delighted to assume
entire responsibility for the whole
matter. but in justice to the central
committee / have to say that in all
its actions the invitation committee
has been guided by the instructions
Of the central committee, consisting
Of Gov Ansel, representing the State
of South Carolina: Mayor Reamer,
representing the city Of Columbia.
and Mr.. William F. Gonzales, repre-
Senting the Chamber Of Commerce.
These instructions we're that no COM
plimentary tickets we're to be issued
whatever. The letter accompanying
the invitations was sent with every
invitation. including that sent to
Gov. Ansel himself who propmtly re-
sponded with his check for $40 and
received ticket No. 2.
"Personally I regret that the COM
mittee Of which I have the honor to
be chairman is unable to set aside
any choice quarter section seats at
the Taft luncheon gratis for our
Chesterfeldian senior senator" )"
Many South Carolinians have ac-
cepted the invitations to participate
in the entertainment Of President
Taft at the luncheon.

What a Member of Committee Says

The central committee, arranging
for the reception here Of President
Taft, consists of Gov. Ansel, Mayor
Reamer and VIM. f. Gonzales. The
governor is out Of tie city, and MI.
Gonzales was late last night called up
at his residence, Senator Illlman 5
letter was read to him over the tele-
phcne. and he was asked for Il state
menr Of the committee position.
.:The committee will engage in no
discussion Of this matter.' he said,
"until the guest of honor on Novem-
Der has come and gone. Columbia
will welcome :he president. but Co.
lumbia is not assuming to be his host
at luncheon. The identical invita-
ton was sent by the Chairman Of the
invitation committee TO Senator ILL.,
nan as was sent to the governor and
the other members Of the central
committee. There IS no free pass
for the hos;s: the deadhead list Is
suspended.
THE letter from Secretary Moor
man. to which Senator Tillman has
made this answer. was sent at the d.
rection Of the central committee for
the excellent reason that the commit
tee, in recognition Of his official po-
sition. planned to have Senator Till
mar accompany one OF the preSl-
dents party in an automobile ana
act as his escort into luncheon, and
it could not perfect lis arrangement
until it knew whether Mr.. Tlllman
would be present. His right to de-
<nlize is unquestioned, and the deell-
nation will cause no embarrassment;
whatever.
.:Neither the people Of Columbia
nor the people Of South Carolina VINO
cherish the honor Of city and State
need have any fear that IN "he enter
faioment of Mr.. Taft in Columbia
there will be lacking dignity. good
iaste or evidence Of good breeding.

William T.. REYNOLDS,

The sad new reached this city on
Wednesday morning of the death Of
Mr.. Will E. Reynolds, eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Reynolds. His
death occurred in Chicago early on
Wednesday morning, Feb. "a. He
had been in failing health for some
time, but his death was unexpected.
His aged was 80 years. He was a
man of sterling integrity, a graduate
Of the Mineral Point High School and
of the University of Wisconsin. He
was faithful in the discharge of every
duty which devolved upon him. A
short time ago he was made the head
of a department of the Chicago Tele-
phone company, and his prospects OF
further advancement were bright, when
his health failed and he was compelled
to give up all earthly ambitions. He
leaves to mourn their great loss, his
parents, two brothers, w. G.. and Ira,
and one sister, Miss Maud, besides
very many friends who deeply sympa-
thize with the family in their bereave-
ment. The funeral will lake place
from the home of his parents on Fri
day afternoon at two o'clock, with
burial in Graceland.

PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
John GRADER.

10 O'Clock on Sunday, Feb 81; aged
81 years. He was apparently in his
usual health up to within day or two
of his death. The decedent was the
Oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Nicholas GRADER, former we'll known
res dents Of the town Of Kendall, La
fayette county. He was engaged for
many years ia buying stock here.
Twenty-three years ago he went to
Chicago, and from that time until his
death he held good position at the
stock yards. He leaves to mourn his
death his wife, two sons and three
daughters, besides five brothers and
two sisters, all Of whom were present
at the funeral, which took place on
Tuesday from his late residence.

a Marrow EScape.

At one time Jefferson Davis and a
fellow cadet, Emil La Serre, went to
Benny Ravens and, hearing that an
officer was coming, rushed over a
rocky short cut to the quarters. Davis
stumbled and fell over a high cliff
down forty or fifty feet toward the
river. He caught the branches of a
tree that grew out Of the cliff and,
though he tore his hands badly, man
aged to break the fall somewhat. La
Serre peered over the edge of the cliff
and inquired, jeff, are you dead?"
and Jeff laughed. His injuries were
almost fatal, and it was several months
before he recovered.
Benny Ravens began his career dur
ing Davis first year and remained a
West Point institution until his death,
in 1877 West Pointers, new and old,
had and still have an almost endless
song entitled Benny Ravens, Ohw-

Ancient Japanese Iron Making.

The Japanese were acquainted with
iron from very early times. a sword
that was used by one of the ancestors
of the present emperor about 500 B. G.
is still in existence. Later, when the
great civil war broke out in the sixth
century, sword smiths and armor
smiths came to occupy a prominent
place. Many interesting stories are
connected with sword smiths, al
though this is no place to go into
these. From this time on down to
about 300 years ago no noticeable
progress had been made. At the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century,
when the Tokugawa dynasty came
into possession of the political power
and peace was restored, all branches
of industry began to prosper. The de-
mand for iron implements increased,
and the scarcity of iron supply began
to be feIt.-M. Kawara in Engineering
