There is every probability that

mouth of the Tamarac river, this
county, is a member of the Lyon
family which are the direct descend
ants of the Lyon family in England,

Frank Lyon has received letter
from a cousin in New York city
who is positive that Mr.. Lyon and
his immediate relatives are members
of the American branch of the
Lyon family of which mention is
made in the advices from England
as the Lyons were former residents
of Connecticut, where it is claimed

The Power of Habit,

After having been a faithful devotee
Of the automobile two years or more
Mr.. Bragdon suddenly was seized with
violent fancy for motor boats. "a
beautiful river runs by this town." he
said. "Why not have some enjoyment
out of it? In a motor boat you don't
have to dodge policemen and rural con-
stables
So he bought one, took days III
struction in the art of managing it and
keeping the machinery in running or
der and started out on his first trip
with it one bright morning in July.
It was late in the afternoon when he
returned home. He came in by the
back way. His clothes were water
soaked. and he had generally limp
and bedraggled appearance.
"For PHYS sake, Alfredo exclaimed
his wife. what has happened to you?
Did the boat upset?'
"No, Lucy" he answered. "Don't
say anything about it and I'll tell you.
The boats all right, but when I had
been out on the water an hour or two
something went wrong with the mo-
tor"
"Well?"
| "Well, before I-er-knew what 4
was doing I was over the side of the
boat and: trying to get under it to fix
the thing"

necticut and trace up his ancestry,
as the writer is certain that the
Sage of the Tamarack" is rightfully
entitled to piece of the $50, 100000.
A telegram published in a New
York paper was enclosed in the
letter, in which it was stated that
diligent efforts were being made to
trace the family that lived in Con.
necticut, and asked for information
concerning any descendants who
may have moved to other parts oil
the United States.
Frank Lyon, the Sage of the
Tamarack," has long been known as
peculiar character who has lived
almost the life of a hermit.
He settled at the mouth of the
Tamarack river, on the eastern
shore of Upper Red lake, far re.
moved from any white settlement,
at that time, and his only associates
were Indians, with an occasional
white man as "a transient visitor
There was much logging done in
that section, later, and steamboats,
piled the Red lakes, Lyon getting
into touch with the outside world
by means of these boats and theil
operators.
Always just and kind to the
Indians, he has always been well
liked by the Red Lake band, and
he today has hundreds of friends
among them.
Although many settlers have
taken up homesteads in the vicinity
of the Upper Red Lake, Lyon still
lives alone and is as much of hermit
as ever.

NORTHERN MINNESOTA. IS
NOW BEING RECOGNIZED
A Reapportionment Plank Is First Sec.
ton Of Resolutions at the Con-
servation Congress. .

St. Paul, March 1912 M.
Especial to Pioneer. 1.-The last day
of the great conservation congress
has been fraught with much that is
of vital interest to northern Mime
sofa; and through the efforts of
delegates of this section, the con-
gress has been compelled to grace
fully and even heartily concur in de.
mands made by northern people.
H. V. Eva of Duluth, as chairman,
w. R. Mackenzie of Bemidji, as
secretary, of the committe on reso-
lutions, succeeded in getting into
the resolutions for final report to the
convention, very strong planks on
reaportionment and the consolida-
ton and help for rural schools.
Thr plank on reapportionment is
as follows, and is the very first Sec
ton; Be it resolved, that this con-
gress recommend and respectfully
urge that reapportionment be
made at the coming session of the
legislature that shall give to all parts
of the state equal representa-
ton, both in the senate and the
house, according to the population
as shown by the United States Gen.
sus Of 1910"
The congress recommends a one
fourth mill tax be adopted by the
legislature for roads and bridges, as
the constitution now provides, and
that the next legislature pass a law
providing for a l mill tax for that
purpose.

Fortune For forqers.

The last person to suffer death for
forgery in London was a Thomas May
nard, who was executed on Dec. 81,
1929. 1t was not, however, until 1882
that the death penalty for the crime
was replaced by transportation. though
even then an exception was made in
the case of forging or altering, a
Will. This exception was not removed
from the statute. book until 1887. In
the days of good Queen Bess forger
Of deeds was very severely dealt with.
He had to stand In the pillory; his ears
were cut off, his nose slit, and he was
branded with hot irons. If he survived
these ordeals he was doomed to i'm
prisonment for the rest of his days,
and everything he possessed In the
world was forfeited to the, crown.
Surely death would have been far
more merciful.

Hoyle was not really the inventor Of
whist, although often so stated to be,
but he was the first who introduced
scientific whist to the public. A recent
authority says that very little is known
Of Hoyle's personal history except that
he was barrister by profession and
held the post of registrar Of the pre-.
rogative In Ireland. He was born in
1910 and died in Cayendish square In
1857 at the advanced age of ninety-sev-
en- years. He received the sum of f1,-
600 from his publisher for his treatise
on whist, which ran through five edi-
tons in one year and was extensively
pirated. Hoyle Is said to have given
lessons in whist at a guinea lesson.
One Of his great points was the calcu-
lation Of proba bilities at various stages

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness Is Too Generally Considered
Sign Of Advanced A1a

A bald-headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed

porations have established an age
limit. and refuse to take men over

ployes.
