With the auditorium and halls
and stairway crowded so that stand
ing room was at a premium, and
with the chief executive of the State
of Minnesota present and participant
in the program, Bemidji's new
$4,000 school house was formally
dedicated, last night, and the event
marked an epoch in the advance
ment of education in northern
Minnesota.
With members of the school
board cooperating with an active
committee of the Bemidji CONNER

one of the most successful and note
worthy public demonstrations in the
history of this growing city.

interfere with the program.
A delegation from the school
board and another from the CON-

met the governor as he stepped from
the train and extended him cordial
welcome, and escorted him to the
Hotel Markham, where a special
table was set aside for the guber-

Masten and his band, preceding

to the Hotel Markham to act as an
escort in accompanying Governor to
the High School building.
At the hotel, the band rendered
several selections, while the governor
held an informal reception in the
lobby, meeting many of his old
friends and being introduced to
others he had never met.

THE SACRED MYTHS

We read the pagan's sacred
books with profit and delight.
With myth and fable we are ever
charmed, and find a pleasure in tho
endless repetition of the beautiful
poetic and absurd. We find in all
these rccoris Of the past philoso.
phics and dreams, and efforts
stained with tears, of great and
t,ll5r 5DIls va triel t1 pierce
the mystery of life and death, to
answer tho eternal question Of the
" hence and whittier, and vainly
sought to make with bits Of shat.
tered glass a mirror that would in
every truth renctc the face and
form of natures perfect self.
These myths were born of hopes
and fears and tears and smiles.
Weekly independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1887-1914, 1910-12-02

and they were touched and colored
by ali there is of joy AMI grief
hetwe n he rosy dawn of birth and
aarth's sad night. They clothed
even the stars with passion, and
gave to the gods the virtues, faults
and frailties of the sons of man.
In them the winds and waves were
music, and all the lakes and streams
and springs the mountains, woods
and perfumed dells were haunted
by thousand fairy forms.
They thrilled the veins of ,pring
with trcmulous desire; made twany
summers billowcd breast the
throne and home of love; filled
autumn's arms with sun-kissed
grapes and gathercd sheaves; and
pictured winter as a weak old
king who felt, like Lear, upon his
withered face, CordGlla's tears
These myths, though false, are
beautiful and have for many ages
and in countless ways enriched
the heart and kindled thought. But
if the world were taught that all
these sthings are true and all
inspired OF God. and the eternal
punishment will be the lot of him
who dares deny or doubt, the
sweetest myth Of all the fable
world would lose its beauty and
I become a hateful thing to every
brave and thoughtful man. --

MAN AND HIS WORK

Work is not the end and aim of
existence. 1t is the means of an
end.
Busy-ncss is no virtue in itself.
1t is only a necessity to secure GER
tain desirable rsults.
To work many hours per day is
not in itself any credit to a man.
Man was not made for work.
Work was made for man in order
that he may secure certain dcsir-
able and necessary returns.
A man who works unnecessarily
long and hard to secure the return
he requires, thereby robs himself
and his family.
We hear much of mans crimes
against his fellows. The most com
mon crime is a mans crime against
himself and therefore against
those who depend upon him.
It is not true that il is nobody's
business il man sacrifices his owl
time. brains, energy and health
He has taken upon himself socia
and family obligations which max,
Il his duty to spend himself in sucl
n way as to get the best returns.

for the Legislature on the republi

were only three hundred odd votes
in Clark county at the time and
Jerry Simpson had carried it by
ll3 majority at the last contest.
ln the county on a ranch was a
democrat who thought great deal
of Bone. He invited Harry to
come to the ranch and he would
there have bunch of his demo.
cratic ncighbors and make an eff
ort to swing them in line for his
republican friend for the lcgisla-
ture.
After the party wa. on for some
time, this democrat got out in the
middle of the door. He waved ms
arms and got the attention Of the
crowd.

bank in the same State the other
half Of the note.
, The theory of treasury officials
was that while more or less
intoxicated the man had struggled
lor possession Of the bill with
some one who had wrcsted half
Of it from him; that the despoiler
had turned the half into the bank
and received five dollars for it:
that the intoxicated man, recover
ing his senses, hli founc the other
half in his pockci and, not wishing
to lose his money, had conceived
the plan Of singeing the end of
the note and claiming that the
other half had been destroyed. So
he comitted perjury in an attempt
to rob the government of So.
a nan in Cleveland sent an
affidavit to the treasury depart
mcnt, accompanying the signed
half of two twenty-dollars bills and
one tcn-dollar bill. This affidavit
was typewriter and in perfect
form. .lt set for tn that the deponent
was commercial traveller that
after returning from a journey he
had been cleaning out his travelling
bag when inadvertently he had
thrown into the fire an envelope
containing $50 in bills; that in ac-
cOrdance with section so and so
he would like to have the money
restored to him. etc.
The clerk who brought this
dOcume2t to the officials commented
on its lucidity and completeness
hut to one of these the story seemed
unnatural. and he ordered that the
claim be held up for awhile.
Twenty-four hours later a big
shipment of mutiliated currency
came from a subtreasury in the
west. The officials who had
ordered the claim held up asked
whether there were any half notes
in this shipement. In four or five
minutes a clerk bought linn thv
missing halves of the bills the
Cleveland man had sent in.
TIE attempt to defraud was
plain. The matter was at once
put into the hands of the secret
service division, and man was sent
west TO investigate. The man who
had made the affidNit confessed at
once. He had cut the bill in halves
and for onc-nalf of them obtained
$25. The other naIf he singed and
attached TO his affidavit. The gross
profit of the swindel could not
have been more than $25. and for
that trifling sum the man forfeitd
his liberty for a year and half
