LOCAL SALOOkKEEPERS

atty Heayy.-vioIators of Agree
ment Will Leese License.

The Bernidji saloonkeepers have
entered into an agreement with a
representative of the Minnesota
State Brewers association and John
P. Pogue. mayor of Bemidji, whereby
local dispensers OF refreshments"
bind themselves to sell NO intoxi-
eating liquors of any description
to Indians. They further agreed
that in case any one of their num-
Der violated the agreement his
license should be revoked and his
business suspended.
Frederick <Zollnan, attorney for
the Minnesota State Brewers asso-
citation, was present at the meeting
: and explained to the assembled
saloon men that the United States
government had recently decided
that the saloons of Bemidji and
towns in this part of the state are in
what is termed as the Indian zone''
Chat is, being adjacent to the Indian
reservations and that drastic meas.
ures were to be taken to prevent
the selling of liquor to In dians; that
in order to continue In business it
would be necessary DO exercise
strict enforcement of the irsquiremen
that the Redmen be sol d mo liquor
of any description.
At the conclusion of Mr. ZdlmSn's
address all saloonkeepers claimed
that they would sell no liquor t
indians and that in case any ~
them violated the agreement his
license should be taken from him.
Mayor Pogue stated, emphatically,
that he would see to it that any
violator of the agreement was i'm
mediately put out of business, with
no chance of appealing from inns
action.
It was stated at the meeting That
it was generally believed that the
government would insist on the
saloons being closed and absolutely
done away with at Bena and Ball
Club, east Of Cass Lake, and also in
Mahnomen. on the White Ear th
re. servation.

contest exciting at all times.
It was known that Grady, the big,
speedy hurler of foolers,' would
pitch for Cass Lake, and much was
expected of him. Grady did very
well. This was his first game of the
season, and he did not fully use his
terrific speed. AS it was, however,
he pitched a fine game, and but for
uusteadiness toward the close would
have held the locals to one score.
He allowee Bemidji but four hits and
struck out seven; but he gave two
batters bases on balls and hit two,
one of the bases on balls( to LaGore J
being followed by two-bagger by
Mitchell, giving a score.
John Oman (''Cotton') caught a
good game, and the support given
the battery was very fair, the visitors
however, showing woeul lack of
practice.
Neils, second baseman for the
visitors, led his team in hitting, get.
ting two of the three hits given
Cass Lake.
Baumgardner pitched one of the
best games of his baseball career.
He struck out eleven of the visitors,
allowed them but three hits and was
steady throughout, wavering but
twice, once hitting a batsman and
furni shing one opponent free trans
portation to first base. Eckel caught
a good game, but is a trihe weak
throwing to second base; otherwise
the kid" plays fine game.
LaGore did nice work, out in the
right garden, making three. fine
catches of difficult flies in the
sun field" getting two nice hits
and making to scorces. The old
hoss'' was right in the game from
the start.
Mitchell got a two-bagger, anc
the other hit was secured by Carl
ton. Finnessy, in right field fo1
the visitors, cut off two other hits
that looked perfectly safe, making
circus catches in both instances.
There was fairly good attend
ance at the game, quite a number
coming over from Cass Lake to
see the contest. The visiting play
ers and spectators were shown every
courtesy, and there was nothing to
indicate that there is still bitter

The room was put in order and the

day she wandered off with her babies,
but she never started until she had
visited the breakfast table with her
whole brood to get her regular morn

AT first it was funny to see them run
around and pick up crumbs, but as
they grew it began to be troublesome

self, after fixing her fire she attacked
the turkey, for, though she was some
times cross, she was always econom-
ical, and she knew no questions would
be asked as to how it came to its end,
provided it was fat and was roasted
well.
In a few minutes she had the feath-
ers off, except those on the wings and
tail, and she laid the picked turkey on
a bench to cool, shutting the door to
keep out the cat while she finished
some other work.
Meantime tea time arrived. The fam.
lily came home and were all at the ia

nah rushed in, evidently frightened out
of her wits.
"Oh, Mr.. WinsIow," she cried,

Mr.. Winslow, supposing some animal
had got in. left the table and, arming
himself with the poker as he passed
through the kitchen, threw open the
door.
Silence and darkness only.
Yet in a moment came an audible
rustling on the wood pile and an indis-
tinct glimpse of something white.
"Bring the light, Hannah" called
Mr.. Winslow, and, taking a candle
from her trembling hand. he led the
way to the strange object.

No sooner did Hannah appear on the
scene with scrubbing brush and go
down on her knees to polish the floor
than Kris would hop by a sort of lad
der which one of the boys mad made
for her up to a orner of the high
mantel over the fireplace. and there
she would sit, all bumped up and mis-
cradle, till the work was done or till
her little mistress came and took her
into the sitting room.
The place where Kris was intended
to spend the time of her Punishment
from the yard was a large chamber
over the woodshed. which was kept
warm by the kitchen chimney, and
there's where her bed, or roost, was
prepared for her and where b was
shut up every night. But she was so
lonely and unhappy and tried so hard
to get out and Margery was so fond
of her for a playmate that she gener-
ally got down before breakfast and
did not go back until bedtime, which
is at dusk in the turkey family, you
know.
Well, the winter passed away. and

she had a big Thanksgiving
baking to do In an old fashioned
house where pies and cakes were made
by the quantity.
Then, while she was out of the kitch-
en- a minute, Margery in a frolic with
puss had upset the churn with its load
of cream all over the snow white floor.
That made plenty of extra work. but
the browning disaster was to find
when she went to the pantry for the
beans she intended to bake that a bot
tile of brandy that she had kept last
summer to battle her ankle, which she
had sprained in falling down the eel
lar stairs, had been upset.
1t stood far out of the way on the
top shelf, but unfortunately the dish
of beans was directly under it, and the
brandy had dripped over them, soak
ing them so thoroughly that it was not
possible to use them.
But the worst was yet to come. On
finding the beans ruined she simply
emptied them into the pail which stood
at the kitchen door and, washing her
hands, set to work to knead her big
pan of puffy bread dough.
Now, the kitchen door opened into a
woodshed, and the ash pail, with the
beans on top, was supposed to be safe
enough, but unfortunately on this spe-
cial afternoon the outside door was
tajar.
The beans had not been there long
before the turkeys came around to be
fed, as usual, and one of them, Of a
