''Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction

In the role of Charley Steele
in THE Right of Way" this
thought is exemplitied very
c early. Charley receives a blow
on the head in river tavern
where he is drinking brandy.
This blow deprives him of his
memory aud for three years he
lives an entirely new life in a
new world. At the end of that
time a surgical operation re-
stores his memory and he in
stantly continues speaking The
unfinished sentence which was
interrupted three years before
by the blow. Any surgeon of
experience can tell you of like
instances in real life. That is
why THE Right of Way" is so
intensely interesting; because
it is a powerful tale of living,
breathing, pulsating. modern
life. A splendid scenic produc.

Northern Pacific Buys Space at
Northwest Land Show.

Besides the official exhibit OF
the products of this state which
is to be made under the uirec-
ton of the Governor at the
Twin City Land Show, the ct
forts of the state officials will
be supplemented by big exhi
bits to be made of our products
by the railroad companies.
The Northern Pacific has just

will make good showing for
every state along its lines. Be-
ing one OF the first railroad
companies to buy space, the
Northern Pacific has selected q
section sixty feet long between
'he main entrances, about the

* representatives. of the rail-
j.. y: are now at work collect.
ing materials for the exhibit.
While special part of it will be
shown for the first time at the
big show in St. Paul, the North.
ern Pacific will also show in
New York City, in Omaha and
at several other shows during
the fall and winter. From all
of these displays our state will
reap a benefit.
Speaking of the advantage of
making these exhibits, J. NJ.
Hannaford, Second Vice Presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific,
says, 1--WE have in the past re.
ceived good returns from money
spent in making exhibits at
Land Shows and we expect to
realize our moneys worth many
times over from the St. Paul
exhibition"
1t follows that if the railroads
get such good results from
Land Show exhibits, the states
which they represent must get
a large share of the benefit.

FIND ANCIENT REMAINS.


Interesting discoveries of ancient
remains have been made recently b,
excavations in Parliament square
Edinburgh, in connection with the
building of the Knights Of the This
tie chapel at ST. Giles cathedral.
The excavations have brought to
light quantity Of human bones,
the explanation of which is that the
place was at one time a burying
placc--in fact, at the time the only
burying place in Edinburgh-so that
its antiquity is even older than the
historic burying grounds Of Gallon,
Canongate and Greyfriars. 1t was
here that John Knox was buried.
The remarkable thing about the
bones which have been discovered is
that none of them seem to have been
inclosed in any kind of coffin. They
have probably lain here from 800 to
400 years. A number of coins have
also been found, though they are too
far defaced to be recognizable. All
the articles found become the prop
erty of the crown.

RATS ARE COSTLY vERMIN
Reports Show They Destroy Food and
Material Worth Over $75, 100000
Each Year in England.

The reports from various East
Anglican (England> districts Of pro-
posed immediate official action for
the destruction of rats show that the
danger of an influx of the vermin to
the country surrounding. the scene
Of the original warfare IN the Or
well peninsula has been fully real
lied.
From reports which the Incorpo-
rated Society for the Destruction of
Vermin collected little while ago
it was shown that in all parts of the
country the number of rats was in
creasing and their damage getting
worse.
"By way of the throat OF the rat, :"
it was stated, ''there is wastage OF
more than $75,oo0,000 worth of
good food and material per annum."
The conclusion reached was that
nothing short of concerted national
action would ever be able to solve the
rat problem.

EXAMINATION IN FLoGGING.

Quoting from Student Life in
the Middle Ages" paper recently
read by c. D. Burns of Bradford,
we learn that in the taking up of a
degree in grammar at some of the
universities the prospective school,
master had TO provide himself with a
birch and boy, and as a part of his
examination he had to administer a
flogging to the boy in public, the
boy being given groat for his serv-
ices. A large part of the education
lay in debate between the boys, under
the SUPERVISION of the master, the
method bringing out the boys rea-
soning powers instead of merely
examining them with facts, as is too
often the method of today.-Univer-
sity Correspondent.

others discovered what their danger
had been. Armed with clubs, the
women then killed the snake.

MUST Be ABOVE REpRoAcHl
Management Of Bank, to Command
Confidence, Needs Honesty and
Broad Financial knowledge.

Figures in a bank statement mean
absolutely nothing unless the man.
agement of the institution is above
reproach. The average business man,
in consulting bank statement,
would not imagine that loans, bonds.
securities and circulating notes
could be SO easily juggled with. That
is, however, according to Chalmers
Lowell Pancoast, in The Worlds
Work, an easy matter if the officials
of the bank are not honest. Chief
among the essentials of safe bank
Mr.. Pancoast mentions honesty and
a wide experience in financial af-
fairs. With either one Of thSe quail
tiles lacking, the stability Of the in-
stitution is greatly impaired. Natu-
rally, business man wants to deal
with banker who has character, vet
at the same time he does not have
confidence in an honest banker un-
less the man also has wide expert
ence in financial affairs. Honesty
and a broad financial knowledge
must go hand in hand; banker
must be partner TO business man
in every way possible.

EFFECTS OF coLoRs.

DR.. Ponza, director Of the lunatic
asylum at Alessandria, Italy, has
cured many Of his insane patients
by combining them in rooms of some
uniform color. Patients suffering
from acute mclancholin have become
cheerful after confinement in red
room. But some forms of life are
adversely affected by certain colors.
It has been observed, for instance,
that flies and other insects do not
flourish or are killed outright by the
light which comes through blue
glass or blue gauze.

THE TO FORGET BIRTHDAYS
After All, Why Should One Be Re-

After youth has passed, birthdays
should be overlooked, save about
once in ten years. Every ten years
it is decent to have birthday. 1t is
bad form to mention age, as that is
something to be politely ignored,
and people who always announce
their coming anniversary get the
credit of holding up their friends,
which is neither pretty nor nice

will be told by dear Matilda that
she is TO celebrate her birthday next
week. "Why, dear me, Matilda, how
Did are your" "Oh," says Matilda,

know" "Then, for goodness sake,

will be so and so next Wednesday,
and how we'll she remembers the
lovely 1owers sent her on a previous
occasion and the felicitous note ac-
-ompanying them! What a short
year! Are those flowers paid for?-
you wonder, though, Of course, Trey
must be, else there would have been
trouble. And now here is another
