There Was No Applause,

Just before the operation began the
operating surgeon said to the students,
"Now. gentlemen, no applause, If you
please"
When he was convalescing the pa
tent declared that that warning re-
manned his most vivid impression of
the ordeal
II wondered then how any human
being could have the heart to applaud
IN act that had brought another face
to face with death, but later under
stood. On account of heart trouble
they did not dare administer an anaes-
thetic, so I was conscious of every
thing, and in spite of the pain I re-
allied that the surgeon was doing a
mighty skillful piece Of work. No
wonder the students wanted to ap-
plaud. They were justified in It.

clapped the house down after an ex-

Attention, Merchants!.

Eveleth merchants have started a
crusade to keep Eveleth money at
home instead of having it shipped
to outside concerns for general COM
modities. One of the surest methods
of keeping money in any community
is to meet the price of the catalogue
house and then put in about one
tenth the amount the catalogue house
does in advertising. Make advertis-
ing part of your business, the same
as the buying of stock; give the buy
ers prices, keep the new arrivals on
your shelves before him and the trade
will come. That's the reason it goes

Tho Llama With a Saddle.

In his native country the llama is
trained as beast Of burden, and in
this capacity is very useful for, hard
and wiry by nature. he can carry as
much as 100 pounds. As a mount,
too. he is quite easy to train. Indeed.
both the llama and the oneiko take to
the saddle as to the manner born
when once they have assured them
selves that their teacher wishes them
we'll. Their most striking popularity
as saddle animals, however, Is strong
objection to having their heads In any
way pulled about by their riders. So
long as their mouths are left alone
they will amble along quite contented-
~ at a fair rate Of speed, but If they
are ridden by some one with a heavy
hand they show tendency to stop at
once, whipping round in manner dis

Forgery In ExceIsis.

The most remarkable literary for
gerry on record was perpetrated in 1870
on Michael Chasles, a French scien-
fist Of European reputation. Chasles.

within a few years from one vrain-
Lucas no fewer than $1,000 auto

in his "Chats on Autographs" BE
ginning with supposed correspond
ence between the youthful Newton
and Pascal, Vrain-Lucas proceeded to
fabricate letters Of Rabelais, Montes-
quieu and La Bruyere. Before he had
finished M. Chasles became the possess
sor Of letters in French, and written on
paper made in France, of julius Cae-
sar, Cleopatra, Mary Magdalene and
even Of Lazarus after his resurrec-

two years. imprisonment, and among
other forged manuscripts from his pen

Both stuno.

Some time ago an eminent London
physician requested an equally emf
nent surgeon to accompany him to see
q distinguished but slippery patient.
The patient was exceedingly polite to
both the medical gentlemen, shaking
hands with them and bowling them out
of the room in the most affable man
ner. Soon after this professional visit
the same physician called again on the
surgeon, requesting him to accompany
him to see another patient. On their
way thither the surgeon observed, II
hope this patient will behave more
literally than the last did"
why p said the M. D. did he not
give you fee?"
"Not shilling" was the reply.
"Indeed!' said the eminent physi-
clan, with toss Of the head. "Why,
he borrowed 2 guineas from me to
give to you!-Tit-Bits.

Why ha Matted.

The man who is anxiously watching
the steeple jack at work 300 feet from
the ground is approached by a pass
ing acquaintance.
'Hello. Brownw says the latter. Are
you still here? It's fully an hour ago
that l saw you standing in the very

''That fellow up there gives me the
cold shivers," says Brown. HE makes
me feel weak in the knees"
"Going back to your Officer" inquiries
the friend.

Inertia of tho Nerves.

The researches and experiments of a
French scientist have led him to the
conclusion that the cerebral nervous
system is incapable Of perceiving more
than an average Of ten separate i'm
pressions per second. After each ex-
citation of the nerves period Of in
ertia follows, lasting about one-tenth
of second, and during this period a
new impression cannot be made. Ac-
cording to the Investigations Of this
scientist a person cannot make more
than ten or at the most a dozen sep
arate voluntary movements Of any
kind in second, although the muscles,
Independently Of the will, are capable
of making as many as thirty or forty.

WhistIer's Friendships.

That Whistler. the man of famous
enemies. had faithful friends is re-
called by Ford MADDOX Hueffer, writing
Of the pre-Raphaelites In Harper's
Magazine. MADDOX Brown had circu-
lar printed drawing the attention of
all his old patrons to the merits of
Whistler's etchings and begging them
in the most urgent terms to make pur-
chases because Whistler was in in
d1gent circumstances. The story is
that upon one occasion MADDOX Brown,
going to tea party at the Whistlers'
In Chelsea, was met in the hall by
Mrs. Whistler, who begged him to go
to the poulterer's and purchase pound
of butter. The bread was cut, but
there was nothing to put upon it..
There was no money in the house, the
poulterer had cut off his credit, and
Mrs. Whistler said ''she dared not send
her husband, for he would certainly
punch the bridesmaids head"

BEMlDJl'S HEALTHY GROWTH.

Outside the three cities of Mime
apolis, St. Paul and Duluth, Mime
sota's growth of more than a quarter
of million during the past decade
is most substantial in the far north
ern parts of the state, and in this
upbuilding Bemidji occupies an hon
orable position. From a young and
and struggling lumber camp town
of scarcely more than 1000 souls
including the gamblers and other un-
esirables-Bemidji has forged stead
lily onward until the federal census
comedies her population of 5000,
more than double her size of decade
ago.
AS matter of fact there probably
are many more persons in Bemidji
than is indicated by the census re-
port. The city directory figures in
dictate a much larger population, but
there is little room for complaint on
the showing made by this city in the
federal census announcement because
it illustrates the healthy growth of
our thriving municipality.
A strong point in favor of the pres
est Bemidji over ten years ago is the
character of the residents and the i'm
proved moral atmosphere over the
lawless years which marked the early
days's of the towns existence.
Except for the range towns which
have sprung up like mushrooms since
the discovery of iron ore,-Virginia
with her mere handful ten years ago
and more than 10000 now, is strik-
ing example-Bemidji has shown as
rapid growth as any of the smaller
cities in the state, far outstripping
her near neighbors, such as Brainerd
or Crookston.
And best of all, the growth has
been healthy one and with the de-
velopment of the surrounding coun-
try Bemidji will continue to increase
in size and Importance, and with the
coming of another census by the gov
eminent ten years hence it is not
unreasonable to presume that the
present population will again be more
than doubled There isn't better
town in the state and none of the
newer ones are better or more favor

In discussing the value Of sheep on
q country place their service as land
cleaners should not be ignored. They
like pasture grasses, but they seem to
like weeds and bushes even better for
browse. They will often clean up an

was tangle or unsightly weeds and
shrubs will appear a smooth shaver

Another Cause.

There is no doubt that the extravagant
expenditures by governments and indi-
viduals, the great amount of money be-
ing put into public works, ETC., which are
built on bond issues. are straining the
credit and the capital of this country to
tremendous extent. President Hadley
declares that the issuing of bonds for
such public work is grave error; that
they ought to be paid by assessments or
not built. Whether modern business
methods could be carried out in that way
it is difficult to know, but there is no
doubt that all these extraordinary b nd
issues for public works and the enormous
capitalization OF new ventures have drain
ed the reservoirs of capital, and that un-
til, as Lord Beaconsfield said, we employ
the alchemy of patience, we cannot exS
pect these conditions immensely to i'm
prove. These are world conditions;
they apply almost as much to one coun-
try as to another, The United States, so
far as Its real interests are concerned, IS
In an excellent condition, The crops are
abundant, the factories are fairly well
equipped, the labor market is in better
condition than it was last year. and ~
many ways the situation is satisfactory
