Ananias was the father of a large tribe and his descendants show no sign of diminishing in number or abil- ity It was Mrs. Opie who ventured to classify lies; and Mark Twain who had the courage to announce a mathe- matical total of them.

The reason man does not find the source of joy is because he does not look in the right place for it. Too many men think there is joy in wealth and leisure, while men who have time and wealth on their hands know this is delusion. There is joy in health and strength and activity, and it finds expression in many ways. The joy of tuvenility is It's activity-the joy of maturity is work or accomplishment. The joy of love is beneflcence. Life is empty to @ man who has nothing to do. Life is a burden to him who feels he has too much to do Life is a pleasure to all who find joy in their work or in the result of it. Some near philosophers regard both joy and mis- cry as a state of mind; and when see a person who has every reason to be happy talking of his misery, I am 2 little inclined to think this may be true. How we regard life and occu- patton has much to do with it's effect upon us. Those who make the best of every condition in life and abide in hope are near the source of joy. Those who sit in gloom with misery for a companion get farthest from it.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

The effect of conditions depends up on how we regard them. Because a fellow is knocked down is no reason why he should stay down. Didn't the phoenix arise from its Owr ashes. If you want to initiate bird this is a most inviting example. The depres- sion of failure isn't the thing to feel, hut the spur. What is the use of lying down when you can stand up and fight? Resignation isn't worth as much a ton as coal-$750 It is the ounce of get-up- and get-there which not only redeems but standarizes manhood, This is a good thing to re- member: What is failure? It's only spur to a man who takes 1t right and 1t makes the spirit within him stir to go in once more and fight. If you never have failed, it's an even guess, you never have won 8 high success!" Never talk about your hard luck and discouragements, for they are depress- Ing to you and uninteresting to every one else.

BUNNY BEAT THE MOTOR CAR
Rabbit. Ran SO Fast the Chauffeur
Had to sI 1T to Keep Him
In sight.

The scene was on the road to Point
Place. Nominations were furnished
by the moon and stars. Besides the
rabbit and the auto there were one
man and two girls, also a chauffeur.
The big automobile was speeding
along the highway, sending it's white
light ahead, when suddenly right
across the path of the rays from the
head lamps shot a young rabbit. The
chauffeur slackened speed, hating to
hurt the little creature, and then the
rabbit hoped back into the center Of
the road again, gave one look into the
binding glare of the lamps and start
ed the race.
Straight down the center of the
smooth, white highway he shot on
ahead of the car, and the chauffeur
speeded up a bit just to see how fast
the race was going to be, but he could
not catch the rabbit, not by ten feet.
That little critters feet went so fast
there did not seem to be any there.
and just speck where the long ears
bobbed with the motion of his little
body and brown blur of hair.
And still he ran, on and on, keeping
his distance ahead of the big machine
as If the light had hypnotized him and
he could not stop, while behind in the
car big, lazy pursuers laughed and
watched and begged the chauffeur not
to run him down. There was no such
chance.
The rabbit was too quick. When he
was tired of the sport he hoped to

QUEER THINGS ABOUT PAIN
Patient May Feel 1t in Limb That Has
Been Amputated, or In
Wrong Place.

Pain sometimes behaves in a curl.
ous fashion. There was a soldier in
London, after the Boer war, who com,
planned of excruciating neuralgia pains
In his right foot. This very much
amused his friends, for he had lost his
right leg.
The explanation was that the pain
happened to be in the trunks of those
nerves, which had sent branches to
the foot
Sometimes a patient comes to a
doctor complaining of pain in the
knee, and he is greatly surprised when
the doctor tells him that the site of
the affection is not the knee, but the
hip: We are all familiar with the
pain under the shoulder blade which
comes from an afflicted liver.
The stomach, too, can produce pain
In many parts of the body. A disor
dered stomach will give US pain as
far away as the head, and; when one
gets cramp in his toe, it is often due
to acidity of the stomach. Swallow q
pinch of soda and the cramp will dis
appear.
An aching tooth will produce neural
gtc pains In the face, and very often
violent pain at the back of the head
is due to the faraway kidneys. which
themselves may suffer no pain at thu
lime.

Has Accepted Position Of Professor
Of Agronomy in the Crookston
Experimental Station.
ASSUMES DUTIES AUGUST FIRST,

Otto I. Bergh, for the past year
professor of agriculture in the Be-
midi schools, has accepted the pro-
censorship of agronomy in Crookston
state experimental station and ex-
poets to take up his new duties about
August 1: He was urged to come at
once but refused to leave Bemidji un-
til he had finished his summer school
work =,
The offer of the professorship came
as complete surprise not only to
Mr.. Bergh, but to the school board
as WELL He had intended to remain
in Bemidji for another year. but as
the Crookston position offers larger
field he feels that he cannot afford
to refuse the offer. .,:GE. -.
Otto I. Bergh was brought to Be-
midi from Wisconsin where he had
beer with the soil survey. Wiscon
sin had decided to make preserve
of 100000 acres of. timber land and
wished to select only such land as

knowledge of practical farming and
soils.
Prior to going to the University Of
Wisconsin,, Mr.. Bergh was principal
of the high school at Hendrum,
which is his home town.
/ While in Bemidji, Mr.. Bergh has
made a host of friends and his an
nouncement comes as a decided shock
as it was understood that he would
be here at least for another year. He
took the initiative in organizing the
Poultry club, was one of the chief
| hackers of the Potato Growers asso-
citation, and has aligned himself with
many other organizations of farmers
in this vicinity.
In his school work in Bemidji, he
hassbrought his department. to a point
where it is known as sone.of the best
of the state and men come many
miles to study his methods. . Mr.
Bergh is popular with his students
and fellow instructors While he is
being made the subject of congratula-
lions on his new position, his friends
are sorry to see him leave Bemidji
His vacancy here has not yet, been

afternoon by the Democratic nation
al convention. The nomination came
on the forty-sixth roll call and was
the climax of a long uphill climb. a.
Early in the day, it was seen that
Wilson would be the nominee and
the first break was noted in the forty
third ballot when he gained 1O8
votes. On succeeding roll calls, state
after state swung into line and on
the forty-sixth roll call he received
$50 votes to "a for Clark. On mo-
ton of the Missouri delegation, the
nomination was made unanimous.
Senator Bankhead withdrew the
name of Oscar Underwood after the
forty-fifth ballot. Senator Stone at
that time also released the Clark del
egates to vote as they wished. A mo-
ton to nominate by reclamation met
with opposition and the forty-sixth
roll call was ordered. Missouri and
California stood for Clark to the end.
The convention then adjourned un-
til 9 p. m. Tuesday night at which
time it would consider the nomina-

IT am afraid that because this shoot

was the outgrowth or indirect result of
Socialist propaganda.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. This man knew no one in Milwau-
kee and. as far as I can ascertain. Is I'M
familiar with ony of the executive or
leading Socialists in New Yorh.'
Investigation into Schranks move
ments here resulted, late tonight, In
the discovery of valise containing
property deeds and mortgages and a
number of letters in both German and
English addressed to him.
Hearing that Schrank had made fire.

S1st street. detectives went there and
were told by the janitor that the
house was owned by Schrank and
that the rents were paid by Edward
Lauringer, proprietor of hotel known
as the Old Homestead, in Queensbor
ough. Lauringer told the detective
Schrank lived at the hotel for some
time, last year, until January last,
ard when he went away left a valise
in Lauringer's care.
