WHY JACK ROBINSON'' IS QUICK
A. Foxen Ferguson of Oxford Univer-
sity Explains Old Saying.

A. Foxen Ferguson of Oxford uni
versity, speaking of the old time
ballads, said that as most of the pub
lie executions took place in some
park Or market-place, where every
body could be present, the onlookers
oftentimes amused themselves by
singing ballads giving the entire his
tory of the victim, and this is the
reason why so many of the old songs
are concerned with the hangman and
the gallows tree.
Particularly interesting also was
his description of the origin of the
expression quicker than you can say
Jack Robinson" heard so often in
both England and America. 1t came,
he said, from an old ballad about a
sailor named Jack Robinson, who re-
turned to Portsmouth, England, to
find his old sweetheart married to an
other. The poor sailor vowed that
he would roam the seas forever,
which he set out to do almost before
his friends realized what he was do
ing. They called after him, but he
had gone.-Boston Transcript.

TWO NYMoRE HOUSES BURN
Bemidji BUSHES Aid in Automobile
Over-heated Stove Rlamed.

Fire, believed to have been started
by an over-heated stove, destroyed
the residences of G. J. Mcdonald and
Frank Bergland in Nymore yester-
day. The latter residence was occu-
pied by Mrs. J. Burke
Both houses were completely de-
stroyed and all the contents of Nc
Donald residence were burned but all
the furniture in the Bergland struc-
ture was saved. Both houses were
practically insured
At the time the fire broke out in
the Mcdonald house no one was in
it, the family being out in the gar
den. A person passing by saw flames
bursting from the kitchen.
A call for aid was sent to Bemidil
and the chemical apparatus was
rushed to Nymore in an automobile
driven by Hud Fisk.
Two large water tanks were also
sent by the Crookston Lumber COM
pany and together tleg flames were
prevented from spreading and even
a nearby barn was saved.

RAMP0LLA, 68, MAY BE POPE
Looked Upon as Most Desirable Sue
cessor to Piux <.

Rome, Aug. 17.-Cardinal Ram
polla, who is looked upon generally
as the most prominent candidate for
the Holy See in the event of the
death of Plus x, reached his 6Sth
birthday anniversary today The SEN
timent favorable to the Rampolla
candidacy is not wholly personal to
the famous cardinal, but is in part
due to feeling that circumstances
on the political side of Vatican in
terests demand at this time a pontiff
of Rampolla's experience and abili-
ties. Cardinal Rampolla is an Italian
by birth and education. He was pro-
claimed cardinal in 1887, and few
months later was named secretary
OF state, in which important posi-
ton he soon established his reputa-
ton as one of the leading displonats
of the world He has lived a retired
life since the death of his former
chief, Pope Leo XIII, being head
priest of st. Peters.

as the result of having the old Be-
midi News frame building on Min

mash him against the adjoining

brick structure, where he was held
for 20 minutes.
The accident took place shortly af-

who are repairing the building raised
the building up on jackscrews.

Here the mystery deepened with
the discovery that Mr.. Spurirer had
not been at the hotel, apparently, for
his bed was unoccupied.
The amateur sleuths then retreat
ed to the hotel lobby and wished that
Sherlock Holmes was there.
After a while the night clerk, as
night clerks will sometimes, had an
inspiration.
The Clerk Has an Inspiration.
Il have it, he said "Mr. Spurirer
lost his wallet off the train coming
into Bemidji. That's where they are
they are hunting for the wallet
In the absence of any other theory
that sounded reasonable, and it was
strengthened when it became known
that they had borrowed a lantern
from the hotel.

vails," said Mr.. Huffman.
After having assured Mrs. Rey-
nolds that everything was all right,
the two men went to sleep.
AS happy ending to the episode,
Mr.. Reynolds and his Pine River
friend came tramping into town Just
as the eastern sky was blushing the
announcement of a new born day,
bearing the wallet.
They had searched for it all night,
and they found it.

was locked. Mr. Harris was sure he
scented crime, but Mr. Huffman

Then they cast piercing chances into
the windows, but nothing else.

until after 20 minutes time, thew
were able to draw Kolvoliky from
