.EpISTLE AMUSES HOSPITAL
Gets Letter from "Lumberjack" Who
Was Displeased With Request for
Free Feed"
DECLARES HE WILL RETURN

At St. Anthony's hospital today,
there is considerable amusement as a
result of the receipt at that institu-
tion of a letter written on the Crook
ston Lumber Company Club free
reading room stationery, signed by
"Pat, !" and which reads as follows:
"Bemidji, Novbr. 19, 1911.

AS a matter Of fact no person ever
applies to the hospital but that they
are given something to eat and all
the consideration their case demands
and while at the hospital the letter
lis regarded as the outpouring of a
crank, it was suggested that it will
be well for the public to know that

the attitude was that. if Mr.. Smith

fBRAINERD IN RACE FOR 1912
Wants Sessions to Be Held in That
Gty-Strong Delegation Assured
From Beltrami County.

+ When H. ]. Maxfield of Wadena,
president of the Northern Minnesota
Development association, delivers the
opening address before the meeting
Of the association in St. Cloud on De-
cember 8, he will announce his Of
fetal withdrawal from the associa-
tion.
The matter of electing officers will
be part of the associations work at
st. Cloud, and Mr.. Maxfield will
make it plain that he will not serve
in any official capacity any longer.
He has been president ever since the
association was formed, but a press
of private business makes it impos-
sible for him longer to give his SER
vices to the organization in any Off
cial capacity. He spoke enthusias-
tically of the benefits of the organi-
zation thus far and is hopeful for
the future.
Taft Shows Interest.

and this invitation was referred by
Mr.. Powderly to President Taft.
In a communication now addressed
to Secretary Mackenzie, Mr.. Powder
ly not only accepts but says he was
told to do so by the president. "The
president directs me to accept the
invitation" writes Mr.. Powderly,
who is to speak on the subject of

Many Delegates Being Named.
Almost daily different county de-,
velopment associations are naming
delegates to the St. Cloud convention
and while the reapportionment ques-
tion appears to predominant as a
point of interest, the fact that good
roads, immigration and development
of the lands will be discussed, are by
no means overlooked. There will
addresses made by competent men on
each of these subjects. :
Beltrami to Send Delegation.
It is believed that the number. of
persons to go from Beltrami county
to St. Cloud will be the largest which
has ever gone from here to attend
a development convention. Baudette
will have good crowd, some will
go from Spooner, and practically all
of the other towns of the county will
have representative, and it is hoped
that Is will go from here.

Not only will large delegate go
from Brainerd, but determined ef-
fort will be made by that town to

Moberg Speaks Up.

Alderman Moberg, who opposed
placing the involved building in the
saloon zone, arose and with a show
of some heat, declared that there had
been "entirely too much f1imfam-
ming, false statements" and other
undesirable things in connection
with the affair He mad it plain
that he would oppose the requested
transfer and that he did not think
that the building should be used for
saloon purposes.

Bailey Makes Reply.

Alderman Bailey replied to Mr..
Moberg, and said that he did not
think there had been any "imflam
ming" and that it was going too far
to insinuate that any one had been
telling an untruth, and that every
alderman had right to his own con-
clusions and his own way of voting.
Alderman Moberg refused to re-
tract and said he did not care who
he hit, he had expressed his convic-
tions and was going to stand behind
them ~.

by the council at this time, the only
way in which the empty building on

as saloon is by the transfer of the
license, and it was such a request

City to Have Skating Rink.
Nathan E. Given appeared before
the council and requested that the
city clear tract of ice and install
electric lights, and to maintain
throu ghout the winter such place
:as the city skating rink to be free
to all persons. There was some OBJ
lection to this on the part of Al
derman Tom Smart who questioned
the propriety of spending the city's
money but when put to vote the
proposition carried. AS a result a
space of about 40 hundred square
feet between the dock and the boat
house will at once be cleared for the
use of the skaters. -

first one"
Then he let go his hold and left the
man sitting In the street with crowd
around
"They sure can't grab Annies land, =
he muttered, shut 1t looks as If they're
goin' to give me trouble, and I don't
know nothin' much about them
things So he decided to see his
friend, the judge.
'sJim," the judge said, "I'll look
the case up. ] think your title Is
good; but In the meantime don't for
get thar possession means much. Pos
session may mean everything"
Jim said he would remember, and it
was the first time since he came into
the country that he went back light
and driving his animals to the utmost.
without filing his orders He struck
out for the pass in the hills at top
most speed, and drove his burros on
long after the moon had risen. Their
time OF rest was short, and the dawn
found them hurrying ON again.
Throughout the day they went on,
and on, and as he went Jim kept
thinking and worrying over the turn
that might go against Annie and her
property. He believed he would be
ahead of any others on the land, I'M
less they had already been sent and
had waited for him to start the down
trip when they could put up their no.
tees. He felt the need Of reaching,
In the very shortest time, the little
cabin in the mountains hollow, and

was small rest
Another day Of haste, and when
night came he was close to his desti-

The little cavalcads swung over the
brow of a hill and around curve in
the moonlight, which was strong, and
came to a stop. They had been
jumped and ev1cted in earnest, for be-
low where the cabin had stood was
now heap Of dying embers, and,
| iotifng about a campfire but a short
distance away, were four men in full
possession.
Jim dropped from his saddle and
stood for moment, as If planring his
campaign. He knew that he must get
to pretty close quarters before making
his presence known. He started out
into the open, and Badly, tired but
faithful, would have followed IL Jim
hadn't driven him back. rs
Better keep out Of trouble when
you can. old man he muttered. We

and thought that being partner en-
titled aim to eat most anything that
was green around the place. Jim
threatened to sell him, though, and
maybe that was one reason he grew
more careful. 1t was very serious
time.
Badly" Jim said, you onery, no
account cuss, you've gone and eat the
heads off four cabbages and Eve
patches of marigolds, and now you've
tried to swaller the rose-bush. orter
let you go to some Teller bound for
the desert where there amt nothin' to
eat; but I'm goln' to give you one
more chance, and dam good club
bin"
So Badly finally learned what not
to eat.
Fall came along. and then there
were occasional drifts OF snow up in
the high hills, and Jim was perplexed
what to do with Annie He didn't
like the women Of the camp, and he
hated to have the girl away from him
So when he was down in San Ber-
nardino, he took the advice OF his
warmest friend, ledge Gregg" and
put her at school in the convent 1t
was bitter parting and hard for her
to understand. jim talked to her as
if she were almost q grown woman,
instead Of fYe-year-old baby.
Now, don't you feel bad, Annie
GIRL he consoled, as he patted her
on the back. Il jest can't keep you
with me. and I have to keep Workin'
Besides, If I amt lookin' out all the
time and maxim bluff at livin' on
the place your daddy left you, some
body'll come along and jump your
clais1. There! There! Don't cry!
I'll come and see you every trip,
and''-his voice sank to confidential
Whisper-"Whe summer comes again,
and the brook is a-runnin' and the
birds a-singin', you can hit the trail
with me and Badly, just like you've
been doin'.''
He walked around the room with
her d few times. while the good sis
ter waited and concluded: And you
must learn to read, SOS when you git
back you can read to me, because
amt strong on readin'.''
with this final solace, he left her,
and in time she grew to watch for
his eomings, and bear with his go
ings.
The winter came, when the SHOWS
fell deep, to be followed by the time
when the miIder air told Of spring,
and the land showed green again.

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or catharttcs. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions Of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet Of human
bowels, which is really q sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impare
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any hveT
ailment can expect to have q clear
complexion or enjoy good health. TX

now being sold for the reason that they

and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatiyes.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
inyigorate instead Of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of inpever1sh
It; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is puh
into it.
These pills contain no caiomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowel

Dogs and the Earthquake.

distinctly felt In Cairo. numbers Of
residents being awakened by the sway
Ing OF the houses and the rafting Of

it lasted ten seconds. This is the
worst shock actually felt In Cairo Of
recent years.

Everything In the camp was the same,
but In the city, in the valley far be-
low, there was great excitement and
stir. Capitalists had come who were
going to build a big dam across the
canon below Jin's house, send their
bitches over the valley below, and
make the land worth something. OF
course these men figured that Jim
wouldn't give any trouble, and, II he
did, 1t wouldn't amount to anything.
He went ahead oblivious of all this
until, ON one of his trips, when he
was coming away from the convent, a
stranger stopped him in the street.
"You are Mr.. James Tipton?"
yes"
well, I want to talk to you about
that land you're squatting on up in
the mountains You'll have to get
off,
Jim looked at the man in daze,
then woke up.
Have to get off, eh2 Squattin' on
It, am /? That land belongs to my
little Annie, and I'm her guardeen,
after a fashion. She's goin' to keep
it unless she gets mighty good price
for it,
ooh, no, she isn't" came the sheer
ing rejoiner. We've staked it legal
ly, and you'll have to get off or be
put off"
The man might have said more, but
something checked his speech. 1t was
Jim Tipton's two hands clenched
round his throat and shaking him as
if to Jerk his head Off
"Yoa, keep off Annies ground" Jim
said between his teeth and with his
head thrust out until his eyes were
on hvel with those of the other man.
tAnd I'll tell you right now, stranger,
I'll kill any man that comes on, and
