An Attentive Class.

The College Of France, founded in
Paris by Francis l., offers at the pres
ent day not only strictly academic in
struction, but opportunities for the
higher education In general. The fol.
lowing anecdote from the Colour of
Paris shows how far the college car
ries its scrupulousness. Every scien-
tif1c subject, even the most abstruse,
will continue to be taught there as
long as one solitary individual in all
Europe desires to pursue it. Certain
courses are followed by two or three
persons only. They tell the story of
a professor Of mathematics. This pro-
fessor, who was extremely absent
minded, had lectured for a whole year
to only one pupil. He was perfectly
satisfied that it should be so. but It
occurred to him one day that he ought
to congratulate his rare disciple. and
he accordingly did so.
Monsieur does not recognize me, "
replied the pupil. Il am monsieur's
coachman, and l always wait here un-
til monsieur has finished his lecture"

A Critical Shave.

SrItIcaI 0navo.
John Hays Hammond once paid IS
for a shave. and he did it at time
when he was not worth much money.
He was married in q small town in
Maryland and arrived there the morn
ing before the ceremony after dash
across the continent One of the things
he carried with him into the town was
a thick but monumental growth Of
whiskers. and one thing he did not
have was q razor.
His search for a barber resulted in
the discovery of the only one in town,
an old negro who had been imbibing
too freely for several days. As re-
suit Of intemperance the tonsorial art
1st was shaking like an aspen leaf in q
gale.
Look herew said Hammond You
are going. to shave me. If you so
much as make nick in my face III
cut your throat! II you don't cut me
I'll give you S."
The barber, after much effort, agony
and tremor, finished the shave success
fully. But the strain was too great
for him. Just as his hand closed on
the five dollar note he tainted away

Tho Taste For Muaie.

Public taste in America has progress
ed In no direction more rapidly than in
music. Not only opera. but instru-
mental music Of many kinds. Is now
thoroughly intrenched in the public
interest An amusing contrast can be
found in a letter which Bret Harte
wrote to his wife in 1879. He had
been to see "Tannhauser," which be
deemed the most diabolically hideous
and stupidity monotonous perform
ance" he ever heard. The orchestra to
him was like a power factory at
work in the next street." The singing
was a multiplication table, he claim
ed. lugubrious. ponderous and monot-
onous. Bret Harte executed the idea
better than most Of the others. Not
long ago the newspapers were full Of
Jokes about Wagner. Now he and all
other great composers are accepted
simply as great writer's or great paint
ers, and Bret Harte. IL he were alive
today, would scarcely produce the
same joke.-Collier's.

AZ They Used to View the Plague.
An old work, little book published
In Cologne in 1865 under the title Of
"Geistliche und Leibliche Arzteney
Wider die Pest" gives crude ex-
PLANTATION of the plague and its raw
ages. We learn that it is due to the
eccentric movement of the planets,
eclipses of the moon or sun. inunda-
tons. earthquakes, famines and wars.
Often also it follows the bad etauvium
set up by pigs. ducks and geese. 1t is
frequently attributable to the anger Of
God for mans sins. such as injustice
in the law courts. the oppression of
subjects by their rulers. the DEAFNESS
Of goods, the dance and gaming.

STREET CARS FOR BEMIDJI
First Step Looking Toward Trolley
System for This City Taken By
Alderman Roe.
EXPERT COME FROM WHAPETON

= Bemidji may soon have q COM
plete system of electric street cars.
Not long ago Alderman Knute Roe
wrote to Whapeton, North Dakota, a
town much smaller than Bemidji,
for information relative to it's street
car system. I'LL -,
Mr.. Roe has received the follow
ing reply:
"Whapeton, N. d., May "a, 1911.
"Mr. K. X. Roe, ~
"Bemidji, MINI. -.
"Dear Sir '
Being a stakeholder and director
in the Whapeton Street Car Co.,
your correspondence was handed to
me by Mr.. Forkner, with a request
to answer.
In reply will say that it would be
necessary to have an expert visit
your place who could tell in a very
short time whether it would pay to
install street car system in your
city. We have such a man in our
employ who is also connected with
the company, whom we might be
able to send in the near future. The
president of our road is away at
present but will be back the first of
the week. I will discuss the matter
with him and if we feel that we can
spare this man for few days, and
you feoi that :: would be adv;s sable
to have him. we will let him off. We
will assist you as mucn as possible
with statistics, prices on mateial,
and the probable earnings of the
road
"Kindly give me reply in the near
future, and oblige
very truly yours,
H. T. CONNOLLY"
1t is not unlikely that the Be-
midi Commercial club will now take
the proposition up and that the
Whapeton expert will be brought to
Bemidji in the near future. &c.

Chairman of the County Board Made
Subject, He Declares, of Trade
of Abuse.
SAYS HE IS GOOD JOHN DE1Tz"
Also Said to Have Made Threats of
Personal Violence Against His
Enemies.

Private advices received in Be-
midi today from Governor Eberhart
indicate that the chief executive
proposes to see to it that the charges
made by V1ggo Peterson, chairman
of the Beltrami board of county COM
missioners, against Sheriff Hazen are
given proper and as prompt as
possible, attention.
Immediately upon receipt of the
charges the governor turned them
over to the attorney general, as is
customary in such cases. The attor-
ney general is inclined to believe
that the alleged acts of wrong doing
were committed in previous term,
and that Hazen can not be removed.
A written opinion from the attorney
general, has not, however, been re-
ceived. "....-- ~:
What the Charges Allege.
The charges against Sheriff Hazen
allege that he has collected money
on the pretext that he has personally
served subpoenas when, according
to affidavits on file, the papers were
served by mail It also is alleged
that the management Of the county
jail has been improper and that
prisoners have been permitted: to
escape.
To these charges Sheriff Hazen
makes a general denial. It is under
stood that so far as the bills present
ed by Mr. Hazen to the county is
concerned, he is booked by County
Attorney Funkley, who it is said, has
advised the county that they might
properly be paid, believing that
there was no intent at fraud.
Viggo Meets Alvin.
Viggo Peterson came to Bemidji
again today from his home at Pu-
posky. He met Sheriff Hazen on the
street and the latter requested Mr..
Peterson for an explanations.
Mr.. Peterson felt that he had been
plenty lucid enough in his published
explanation but when the sheriff in
sisted that he had Something to
say" Mr.. Peterson accepted his in
vitation for "five minute talk
and according to Mr.. Peterson. the
sheriff manifested a degree of indig-
nation of the attempt to "get" him
that made the air blue.
. A Regular John Deitz.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hazen
made threats of personal violence
against those who seek his removal
and that he even went so far as to de-
clare that he proposes to "knock the
block off somebody if he is forced
out of Office.
Likewise, it is understood that
Sheriff Hazen bore evidence as to his
own bravery reminding Mr.. Peterson
that if driven to it he would made
first class John Deitz.
Mr.. Peterson refused to take the
sheriff seriously.

is said to be the cheapest and best.
1t requires but one week to ad-

then can award the contract to the
