WoMAN's CLUB IN SESSION.

The housewives of the town of
Bowdoinham have returned to the
simple life. a traveller along the
banks of the Cathance river on a
Monday morning in summer may
witness a ceremony which makes
him think tina the days Of our ar
cestors have returned again, for
there is in BoYdonham d woman ;
club which meets on the shores Of
the river each Monday morning to
wash. The stove is set up near the
shore, and while the clothes are
boiling the club members exchange
the news of the day.-Kenncbcc

ACHIEVEMENT.

'What have you accomplished in
this world, anyhow? You never led
an army, have you? You have never
held high office in which you rem
dered valuable service to the people.
You have never written a book /;
never acted a great part in any i'm
portant movement-you have never
done anything, as far as 1 know,
which should entitle you to the
honor you complain that the public
has not bestowed upon you"

LACK PHYSIQUE OF GERMANS
EngIishmen Much Inferior In Stature
70 Their Rivals, Says London
Newspaper.

Ten millions of our people in
habit dwellings inferior to the ken
nels provided for the hounds in a
well-managed hunt. The results of
living in dwellings unfit for human
lhabitation and the prevalence of a
dietary scale from which English
meat, bread and milk are excluded,
are fatal to successful rivalry with a
virile and healthy race where agri-
culture is fostered for strategic rea-
sons.
Having spent hours in watching
the arrival of the early morning
trains in Berlin and Hamburg, 1
am appalled, with the contrast be-
tween the vigorous and well-set-up,
broad-chested and healthy looking
clerks, brawny shopmen and stall
wart laborers on the other side of the
North sea, and the champagne
shouldered cow-hocked, pigeon-chest-
ed, lack-luster trainfuls of men of
the same classes landed at Liverpool
street, Victoria and Charing Cross.

SOUTH AFRICAN METEoRlTE.

A South African correspondent
tells the story of large meteorite,
weighing more than half a ton,
which has been sent by Dr. Rogers
of the geological survey from Prizes
ka, in the Kenhardt territory of
Cape Colony, to the South African
museum at Cape Town. The me-
teorite was found at Rateldraai, and
it looks like a mass of molten metal,
with number of cavities or pockets
in it, and where not earth soiled is
of dark blush leaden color. In
parts it has been Clipped with a
chisel or pickax, and in such cuts it
shows small shiny specks. 1t is de-
scribed as dull, warped mass of
nickeliferous iron, and DR.. Perrin
guey, the director of the museum,
ascribes its advent as due to the dis
indignation of some cometary body.

LAWS FOR WOMEN FARMERS.

Mrs. Emma Maddox Funck, pres
ident of the Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation of Maryland, says that in
some states where men have secured
an eight-hour day the women and
children are employed II and IA
hours and 1t one-half the pay that
men receive. Only 10 out of the SO
states and territories have legislation
favoring women at all, and in most
of these states it is in favor of girls
under Is years of age, where they
are not allowed to work after ten
o'clock at night or before six o'clock
in the morning.

MUST BE SCIENTIFIC.

Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman, in
attacking the statement of Miss
Peck that she holds the worlds rec
ord for mountain climbing, says
that Miss Peck used no scientific in
struments to determine the height of
the South American mountain, but
relied upon her eye measurements
and those of the Swiss guides. In
this scientific age, Mrs. Workman
declares, eye witnesses play no role
and are regarded as valueless.
Therefore, Miss Pecks measure
ments will only be accepted by those
ignorant of modern methods of
measuring mountain heights.

In microscopic form Moissan, the
French chemist, produced absolute
diamonds, which are but crystallized

mond yet produced measures less

laboratory they believe that if they
could deal with 40 or so pounds of
iron as easily as with four or five
ounces their diamonds would be
larger. They also believe that the

NEEDS THE OPTIMlST SPIRIT
For Modern Commercial Life q San
suine, Confident Mood Is Help
to Business Man:

The commercial life both encour-
ages and needs the optimist spirit.
Its rewards are not ideal nor vague,
but tangible and well within the
reach of human effort, and they are
accessible to the hopes, at least, of
all classes. Moreover, ones advance
in it may be vastly accelerated at
any moment by some lucky or skill
full stroke And on the other hand,
sanguine, confident mood is pc
culiarly needed for the enterprises
and speculations by which alone
commerce can be sustained and ex-
banded. In the most thoroughly and
intensely commercialized community
that has ever existed a sufficient
concentration of thought at the
bright side" will certainly be af-
fected by the mere fact of the case,
and if the forces of altruism and
old-fashioned religion have any quar-
rels to prosecute with the spirit OF
trade, they may, it seems, feel them
selves free to carry on those quar-
rels .Poutrance without weakening
their opposition by any alliance il
respect of optimism. Atlantic

The other day we called a man
on the phone to have bit of
business talk
Quail Hunting with him, and
asked hi m to
come to the house, said he. I
can't attend to that this morning
this is the last day for quail, the
season closes today. TO which
we replied that he ought to have
his neck broke. There is no
wild bird which is of so much
help to the farmer. By actual
observation made by government
experts it has been found that
the food of the common quail is
nearly all either insects or weed
seeds. True while the wheat
fields are ripening the quail eats
wheat and later to some extent
works the different sorghums.
1t is also true that where trees
are around the buildings as there
should be around every farm
cluster of buildings, the quail, if
encouraged will eat with the
chickens. But neither of these
things detracts from the fact
that his principal food is weed
seed and injurious insects, Ex=
cept where an invalid needed
some delicate food we nor our
boys have killed a quail for more
than 20 years and the boys have
never shot quail under any
other circumstances. We are
not peculiar as family in that
respect. Of all the old timers
none will either allow quail to be
killed on their premises nor shoot
them under any ordinary circum-
stances. Some of the later ar
rivals may not be so well posted
, as to the good work of the quail
and thoughtlesly allow them to
be killed on their farms. But
under any conditions but few
farmers will permit shooting of
quail in this county except along
the south line in the sand hills.
There the great amount of wild
land, high grass and occasional
brush patches are the best of
cover for the quail and they are
more plentiful there and so much
care is not exercised as there
should be. A farmer should no
more permit the hunter to shoot
quail on his land than he would
stand by andsee his domestic fowls
shot. He has fed the quail what
ever of cultivated grain he has
eaten and Mr.. Bob White has
paid for his grain as destroyer
of noxious insects, and weeds
many times over, and is entitled
both to the grain he has earned
and the protection of the land
owner from the pot hunter.

Mort says the only thing Eng1e-

iscaused by the policy of the Goa
trust to delay shipments, thus
keeping the people so hard up
for fuel that they will buy any
sort of dirt, that will burn at all
and pay any price asked for it.
and Englewood is not peculiar
in being hard up for fuel.

THE OWL DRUG STORE.

AS indicated by both the interior and
exterior views of this well known drug
store, it can readily be seen that it is
the most modern, up-to-date and heavily
stocked drug store in North Central Min
nesota. In fact it would be hard to find
it's equal and is credit to Bemidji. The
Owl drug store makes a speciality of pre-
scription work, and the number of physi-
clans who direct their patients to this
store attests the faith they have in their
ability to furnish proper remedies and
ingredients which are fresh and which
will have the desired effect
The Owl Drug Store has an elegant
soda fountain and large liquid carbonic.
and only the purest syrups and fruit
juices are used in the numerous soft
drinks they serve, which, as matter of
course, include every known popular
drinks, and is very popular with summer
tourists. This store also carries linz
of high grade cigars, and as to natent
medicines, their line is wholly complete.
Post cards and small souvenirs of var
ious kinds are also to be had at this
store and the patronage which this store
has won by virtue Of its up-to-date bust
ness policy, unstinted public appreciation
Mr. F. A. Mayo. the owner of the Owl
Drug Store, Is what might be called
Bemidji pioneer, and during the ten year,
he has been here, he has made number
less friends. earned competence and ha~
given convincing evidence Of what is in
store for those who have the sagacity tc
settle in this section.

CHARLES L. GUNNER.

Mr. GUNNER has been in business since
July last but since that time he, like others
of our enterprising business men, has
proved that success crowns the efforts of
every one who invests in this city. Mr..
GUNNER came here from Chicago, where he
was recognized, the same as he is here. as
an expert jeweler and optician. His place
of business, which, by the way, occupies
portion of the Owl Drug Store is replete
with an elegant line of silver and gold artt
cles, jewelry the best makes Of watches
and clocks, precious stones and jewelry
novelties, while the repair work he turns
out is noted for it's correctness and skillful
touch.
Having had experience along his line in
some of the largest cities in the country,
Mr. GUNNER is indeed qualified to perform
the work expected at the hands of an expert
jeweler, and at the same time select for
his stock only such wares as will give salts
faction. The public can rely upon his repre-
sensations, his distinct honor in all bust
ness matters, and it is largely owing to
these attributes on his part that he has
built up the lucrative trade which he now
enjoys and which is daily increasing.
The Pioneer can heartily endorse Mr..
GUNNER to it's thousands of readers, and
wishes him the same degree of success
which has attended his past efforts.
