list, seen not to be mere accidents,
but in some strange way co-ordinated
to their powers and the general pop
ular instinct is not at fault
The color of the boards also arouse
many points of interest All the anci-
ent tapestries show Cain and Judas
lscariot with yellow or red boards, and
POntius PLATE in ancient art always
was given a beard being a Roman
of good family, he probably had no
beard) A reddish beard, however,
does not carry the Significance that
goes with red hair, for large number
of eminent men with dark brown hair
have had reddish boards. Sometimes
the eyelashes have been ruddy. Savon-
arola, who had almost black hair, hav-
ing startingly red eyebrows and eye
lashes. But as a general rule here al
so, silky brown beard when accompa-
MED by fine curling dark-brown hair,
is the most usual and characteristic
shown in the biographies of those men
whose names have been handed down
to fame.

WILSON HAS FAITH IN
THE POWER OF PRAYER

New York, Nov. PA man of
prayer" is the way many of the friends
of Gov. Woodrow Wilson class the
next president of the United States.
Especially is this so among the alum
nj clergy, with whom he has very
wide acquaintance. Perhaps, there IS
no man any better qualified to speak
of the religious side of the life of
Gov. Wilson than the Rev Dr. John
Mcdowell, pastor of the Park Presby-
terrain church, Newark, n j., of the
class of 1894
Gov. Wilson is a man of prayer :"
said DR.. Mcdowell to a reporter I
sat under DR.. Wilson four years at
Princeton university, when he was
professor of Jurisprudence, and saw
him much during the next three years
when | was in Princeton seminary
From the very beginning he Impress
ed me with his strength of character
In seeking for the secret of this
found it, not only in his masterful in
tellect, but in his religious convictions
and in his faith in God
His faith impressed itself upon
me as student. One way was DR..
Wilson's recognition of religion as a
factor in life. He showed this in all
his dealings in his classroom He
showed his faith in the everyday relig-
ious life he lived in the college
OR Wilson was always a welcome
speaker at the college yesper service
in the afternoon, and also at the stu
dents Y. NJ. C. A. meetings Tuesday
evenings. His whole influence as "A
professor was pronouncedly on the
side of robust, evangelical Christianity.
Then when Dr. Wilson became pres

most helpful memories of my college
course gather about the prayers and

Y. M. c. A., one OF the men we could
always count on to be present was
Dr. Wilson, then president There o.
Sunday afternoons regularly with a
group of men about him you could
find DR.. Wilson on his knees in prayer
for the university When the ques-
ton came up about abandoning the
alumni prayer meeting because It was
not largely attended it was at the ur-
gent request of DR.. Wilson that this
was not done"

little one can stand alone and is able

make her wants known when not more
than one or two words are involved.
AT the age of three months the baby
could sit alone without support of any

made to train her in this direction
Her ability to stand and take a few

History shows that no great genius
ever had red hair Alone among the
poets of the world was Swinburne,
whose hair was distinctly reddish, and
among the great reformers only John
Bunyan's hair was really red. Ire
simon-pure carrotty head, however,
appears nowhere linked to world fame.
The faxen-haired blonde or the man
whose hair when an adult is true
yellow also remains unmarked apart
as being unlikely to possess genius.
Should one such be, his only compan-
ion will be Thackery, whose hair is
described as yellow Mr. Charles Kas-
sci has reviewed the biographies of
most of the eminent people of the
worlds histories and tabulates his re-
suits so far as the color of the hair Is
concerned.
Dark brown to black is the prevail
ing hue on the heads of great men. A
list of fifty names has been compiled
in which the color of the hair is given
by biographers, and 80 per cent are
dark brown or black. There is not,
strange to say, a single mention of
premature grayness, nor single case
of that ashen brown hair known as
"singed" or mouse color"
The structure of the hair-whether
straight or curly-is given in twenty
six of Mr. Kassel's list of geniuses,
and of these all but four possessed
curly or wavy hair. 1t is extremely
notable that of the remaining four,
Napoleon and Andrew Jackson were
the two remarkable for "wiry hair"
and that James Russell Lowell and
Greig were those having lank straight
hair. The poets "ringlets" and the
musicians shock of hair are by this

DEMOCRATIC PLURALITY IN
ILLINOIS is $4,000

Chicago, Nov. 12.-By the discov-
cry of a mistake made in totaling the
election returns from Cook county, It
developed that Col. Roosevelt's plu-
rality over Wilson in the county was
1895, instead of 97,772, as announced.
This increases Gov. Wilson's plurality
in the state to more than $4,000

The Skating Rink.

Several members of the council
have said that they did not believe
the people of Bemidji would use an
ice rink if one was made and kept
up. The council meets tonight and
if action is not taken at this meeting
there will probably be no rink for
Bemidji this winter. Those who are
interested in the rink and want to
see one made so that the school chill
dren can have exercise in the AFTER
noon and the older people in the
evening, should be present at the
council meeting tonight to see their
councilman before hand. Crookston
and Grand Forks have each estab-
lished Kinks during the past week.

low in the wake Of amusements that
have been rescued and saved from
medieval times. Electric wiring put
in for temporary use is seldom. if
ever, safe.
Education and agitation may in
time eliminate the Christmas tree
but who can reform the weather
man? Perhaps the country is still
well-to-do enough to pay for the
Christmas tree luxury. Science
hasn't yet attempted to regulate the
temperature, and at first blush we
might think the winter rampage of
flame and smoke that accompany
each cold snap must ever continue.
But it can be lessened if not stopped.
Cold weather fires are almost invar-
iably the result of over-heated stoves,
furnaces or boilers, pipes or chin
neys.
High pressure boilers are built to
withstand most severe strains than
1t is ever expected they will be sub
jected to-. Heating apparatus is con-
structed only to accommodate nor
NAL usage. There is no reason why
high pressure boilers, whose annual
ravage of life and property is infin-
itesimal when compared to the de-
struction wrought by heating appli-
ances, should be so carefully guard
ed and the world should go on u.s.
ing universally incendiary stoves
and furnaces.-Fire Protection.

fective and better distributed over

put you trade news before thousands
