HORSE sWIMs ACROSS LAKE.
Sights Pleasant Pastures on Hancock
Side and Comes Across.


Employees of the pumping station
and other persons in the vicinity of
the ferry in west Hancock. were
greatly surprised to see horse swim
ming across Portage Lake from the
Houghton to the Hancock side about
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
animal was seen to run along the
sandy shore several times, glancing
from time to time towards the grassy
shores of the Hancock side. Finally
the animal paused and after gazing
Hancockward for a few moments as
though estimating the chances of be-
ing ablo to swim the distance, ii
sauntered slowly into the water. 1t
then struck out and padded steadily
and easily towards the opposite shore.
Those who noticed the incident called
the attention of others to the equine
swimmer, and soon quite n crowd was
watching the effort. The horse slow
" approached the shore, then up the
bank, shook itself a few times, gave
a whnny of satisfaction, and proceed
ed towards a spot where the grass
was green and luxuriant. The own
ership of the horse Is not known, the
only mark of Identification being a
bell about the animals neck with the
initials III. s. T." scratched upon it
Word was sent to the poundmaster
who took the animal in charge and
will endcavor to restore 1t to us
owner.

4 Tip an o.t..

According to the Saturday Evening
Post, man who had country place
on Long Island came to New York
one morning to do little specializing.
He was great believer in tips
On the ferrybOat 1t came to him
that he had had somehow a tip on
oats. He couldn't rememb Der just what
it was, but somebody had told him to
buy oats. So when he reached his
brokers' office he looked into oats bit
and bought some Oats were active.
He pyramided skillfully and by the
close OF the market was 81, 600 ahead.
OF course such luck as that had to
be celebrated, and 1t was. AS the cele-
bration went on the oats buyer told the
story several times and each time took

buyer until he finally became the oats

somewhat late and found the stable,

ANINrEREs1lNG EXPERIMENT.

members with a. key TO- the es.

are not open to the general public.
There are no clerks, cashiers

TO reduce the cost of living.
Officers of the organization be-

THE BEmlDIl FIRE DEPARTMENT.

1t isn't likely that there is another
town of comparative size in the state
of Minnesota that has so efficient a
fire fighting force as the city of
Bemidji.
A splendid illustration of the
superiority of the department is to
he found in the fire of Sunday
morning when a frame structure,
surrounded on all sides by bust
ness houses, became ignited. The
building was double sealed, making
the flames discouragingly hard foe
to fight. In addition, it was stored
with highly infammable material.
The interior of the structure was
filled with fire aud tongues of flames
were leaping high into the sky
when the fremen arrived.
Not only didth 6remen prevent the
flames from spreading but actually
extinguished them before the build
ing had been entirely consumed. In
addition they prevented threatened
trouble from the showers of sparks
which fell into heaps of ignitable
rubbish in the nearby alley. Incl
dentally, this was a warning to desist
from the habit of cluttering alleys
and streets with materials of this
sort.
But to return to the triumph of the
fire fighters, it is we'll that they be
given every praise for the work they
did, for had the flames beenpermitted
to make their way to other buildings,
smouldering ashes and tottering
walls would mark the site of Bemidj IFS
crowded places of mart.
The fire department, under the
direction of its competent officers,
shows itself to be a we'll drilled,
hard fighting organization of high in.
telligence that wins and wins when
winning means much.

WILD ASSERTIONS.

There may be some good argu-
ments against county option but
they are not found in the following
taken from the Trade News:
THAT county option is confidence
game intended to deceive. B
THAT county option means loss of local
self government. loss of equal rights, loss
to thousands of wage earners. loss to
business men, loss to farmers, loss to
counties, loss to liberty
Gain in hypocrisy, deceit, blind pigs.
bootleggers, dives and erafters.
If the liquor interests expect to
win campaigns on such assertions
they have builded on the sands.
Temperance and prohibit o n
workers who back the county option
movement are prone to become fan
atical and even historical in their
pleadings for votes, but it is the
ranaticism and hysteria bred Of the
evils of the barroom.
The arguments of the dry"
workers contain all the elements
which 20 to stir to the depths the
human emotions and because it is
mothers, wives and children who
bear the brunt of the iniquities of
the abuses of liquor, not many: men
in their sober moments are willing
to say that friends of county option
are hypocrites or that they are filled
with deceit. -
Great as would be the outrage of
usurping the personal liberty of our
citizens, debating to them what
they shall drink, the fact remains
that there are still greater evils in
the world.
The loss to farmers, the loss to
wage earners, the loss to liberty is
about as wise and convincing an
argument of the liquor defenders
AS are the oft repeated arguments
of the anti saloon exhorters who
condemn a man as low bowed
sore on society because he happens
to be a saloon keeper, although his
father and his fathers father may
have been in the business which
he has right to consider an
honorable one,
There is much to be said in favor
of both sides, but when the evi
dence has been weighed the tragic
fact remains that from the begin.
| ming of time strong drink has de-
manded an extravagant price to,
the pleasures it has afforded.

to shut her up in dark closet-in that
family the .dtrest punishment for the
worst offense. For fifteen minutes the

coming from behind it-not whim-

anxious parent unlocked the closet
door and peered into the darkness. She
could see nothing.

cried.
