Miss Dorothy Evans had written a
love story. Miss Dorothy was the
daughter of Judge Evans, and for sew
eral years her fond father had insist
ed that she had literary talent and
should develop it. She didn't believe
she had. and she had been four years
getting around to that story. She
had made about forty plots and plans
and beginnings and abandoned them
Somehow or other she couldn't bring
about first meeting between hero
and heroine in natural manner.

Their when she gave that as an excuse
"Egad, that is just the thing you don't
want to do. You want to make your
story unique. Have the heroine up
tree-cn haystack-stuck fast in an
elevator. Or, have the hero about to
be sawed in two in a sawmill-being
carried around on the arms of
windmill at the rate of a hundred
miles an hour--caught by the leg in
a bear trap-up to his neck in bog.
Hunt for the unique and unusual. my
dear"
At lznnth one day that long-talked-of
story was started afresh. 1t had

frog Of railroad track and had been

then held a pistol to the head of

rescued man to her home, where she
nursed him back to health and mar

he got well, but she didn't mind that

MECHANISM OF THE WATCH
About IT'S Pieces of Material Used
2,4oo Operations Are Comprised in
Its Manufacture.

Few pieces of machinery show more
marvellous features than that of the
watch AS a general proposition 1t
may be stated that watch is the
smallest, most delicate instrument of
the same number of parts that has
ever been devised. About It's differ
ent pieces of material enter into its
construction and upward Of 2.400 sep
arate operations are comprised in its
manufacture.
Certain of the facts connected with
its performance are almost incredible
when considered as a whole. A black
smith strikes several hundred blows
on his anvil in day and as a matter
of course is glad when Sunday comes,
but the roller jewel of watch makes
every day-and day after day-423 900
impacts against the fork or, 1877, $780,
600 blows during the course of year
without stop or rest-or some 3,153,-
100000 blows during the space of
twenty years, the period for which a
watch is usually guaranteed to keep
good time.
But the wonder of 1t does not cease
here. 1t has been calculated that the
power that moves the watch is equiv
aient TO only four times the force used
in flea's jump. The watch power Is
therefore what might be termed the
equivalent Of four f1ea-power. One
horsepower would suffice to operate
270,000,000 watches.
Furthermore the balance wheel OF
watch is moved by this four flea
power l43 inches with each vibration.

Poor little Dorothy, with palpitating
heart, sought the office of the Blank
Magazine and was shown into a recep-
ton room to await an interview with
the editor, whose name was Jones
She had a chair close to partition,
and the partition was thin. Presently
she heard Jones roar out to some one
in the room with him:

very busy, and he had forgotten all
about the literary career of his daugh-

time she thought of Jones she wanted
to slaughter him. AS to the one called
Frank, she didn't know. He had a
pleasant voice. was evidently young

atre. where Miss Adams is To appear in
"Chameclcr" The idea is said to have
come to her when she played at the
Greek theatre Of the University Of Cali
fornia, four years ago. The company
found that they were heard more dis
tinctly by an audience Of eight thousand
persons than they We're by an audience
Of onc-third that number in an ordinary
theatre. Miss Adams learned that the
unusual acoustic properties Of the Greek
theatre were due To the retention of the
sound waves within the auditorium by
means of high coruice of masonry
located behind the last row of seats.
The usual method Of giving force to the
voices of the actors in a theatre is that Of
projecting the sound from the stage.

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made From
Garden Sage, Restores Color to
Gray Hair.

4 feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs,
which, unfortunately, are looked up
on as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hairs, however, are not always an
indication of advancing age, for
many people have gray hairs quite
early in life. Of course it is unna-
Jura1, and indicates that there is
ual, and that Nature needs assist
ance in correcting the trouble. The
same is true of hair that is constant
ly falling out and becoming thinner
every day. If everything is right
with Nature, the hair, even in COM
paratively elderly people, should be
long, thick and glossy, without even
a streak of gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in
restoring and preserving the hair is
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, clean and wholesome
dressing for daily use. 1t not only
removes dandruff, but strengthens
weak, thin and falling hair and pro-
motes its growth. A few applica-
,tions will restore faded or gray hair
to it's natural color.
Get bottle today, and let it do
for you what it has done for thou
sands Of others.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

BETTER READ THIS.

NJ. E. lbertson's great Furniture
Stock Reducing Sale-now on in full
force at his store, 405 Beltrami Ave-,
.Bemidji, first store north of the Post
office, is certainly the most import
ant event in this city for the year
1911.
The people of Bemidji and sur
rounding country are surely going to
be benefited by Mr.. Ibertson's bona
fide stock reducing sale which will
begin on Saturday, Dec. 16, and will
continue for seven sale days only,
ending on Saturday, Dec. %, 1911.
This sale is under the full control
and management of The w. w.
Flick Sales System of Minneapolis,
Mimi, under a seven day contract.
Mr.. Ibertson further informs us
that his object in making this sale
is to quickly raise a large sum of
money, by which to meet his obliga-
tions, and that he is positive that
his present reduced prices on his en-
tire stock will force out at least
'three-fourths of his proccnt stock.
The Flick Sales System closed Mr.. Ib-
ertson's store Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, Dec. 13, IA and Is, to
rearrange stock and mark down the
prices for the grand opening, Satur-
day, Dec. 16, at a. m. 1t is surely
evidenced by the construction of Mr..
Ibertson's full twO-page ADVERTISE
ment of this issue that he has posi-
lively and absolutely refrained from
sensational announcements, instead
he has simply advertised the existing
facts concerning his great money
raising sale.
Mr.. lbertson further advises us
that this is his first attempt at a !
special sale of any nature since en-
barking in business IN Bemidji.
