MARY GAMBLE MAY BE HEIRESS
Fortune, Said to Be Waiting Pioneer
Resident of Bemidji.
Copyright, 1927

According to a letter received here
this week, Mrs. Mary Gamble, a pio-
neer resident of this city, is joint
heir with a sister named Graves to
a fortune, which awaits the finding
and Identification tsof Mrs Gamble
and Mrs. Graves. The fortune is rep
resented as being an estate of consid-
cradle value at Kansas City.
The first intimation Mrs. Gamble
had of anything of the sort was when
Sheriff Hazen handed Mrs. Gamble a
letter which he had received from
Kansas City, and which was as fol-
lows: a.
"To Sheriff Beltrami-Dear sir:
Would you be so kind as to find out
if there is in your town parties by
the name of Gamble or Graves, two
sisters of the Murphy family? There
is a large estate waiting for the
heirs of said names to claim. Please
inform me at once or notify said per-
son in my behalf. Yours sincerely,

ter Raleigh, with the death sentence
hanging over him for eighteen years,
falling in his final voyage Of discovery.
returned to England and went cheer
fully to the block. He left the Tower
without the royal pardon in 1918. The
adventurous but still condemned man
had received permission to make an
other voyage to South America. If he
should be successful in the outcome of
his venture Raleigh knew the kings
mercy would be granted him. But this
last expedition, undertaken with such
vital interest at stake for Raleigh.
was unfortunate in all its respects.
At San Tomas. on the Cayenne river in
Guiana, his men made hostile attack
upon Spanish settlement. As Eng
land was then at peace with Spain,
this act Of war against the people of a
friendly nation was a most grievous
offense against the king. On Oct. 90

Behind the Scenes.

1.-THE people who had the coveted
privilege of the stage in the days of
our parents used to tell about the
chorus women killing time between
calls with knitting and sewing. They
would open their eyes wide if they
could get peep behind the scenes in
one Of the great vaudeville houses Of
London today" says letter from that
city, where the managers have pro-
vided for the spare time of the enter
tainers. There are tea rooms for the
women, where comfortable furniture
and rugs take the places of the rick

For the men there are club rooms,
where between turns one may see
artists in all the various branches of
the profession at billiards. pool, bridge
or chess. trained nurse and ply

management provides school. where
the stage children are educated while
mamma dances and sings and papa
does his share toward the entertain

Sense IN the sickroon,..

Every one who goes into sick per-
sons room should be bright and cheer
ful. Sick people are extremely sensi-
tive to the manner Of those around
them. and any depressing influence has
q most injurious effect. Hope is the
best medicine. Unfortunately, the sick
persons relatives often take the worst
view of the case. and their anxiety is
Enthusiastically manifested BY their
looks. voice and general manner They
even talk despairingly in the room.
thinking that because the patient Is
quiet and dull he does not understand.
But his perception OF everything relat-
ing to his illness Is markedly acute.
Note the good effects Of the visit OF q
CHEEKY doctor. For hours after the pa
uent seems better and Is better. OF
course it does not do to be flippant. but
IL relatives would force themselves to
take hopeful view and show it In
their manner they would in many
cases actually save the sick persons
life.

london's CRYSTAL Palace,


Crystal palace was originally built
in Hyde park for the great exhibition
of 1851, being afterward removed to
it's present site and regretted. At
the first state opening of the palace by
Queen Victoria it was urged that the
usual artillery salute should not be
fred, the reason given being that the
conclusion would SILVER the glass roof
and the company assembled below, in
Guiding her majesty, would be cut into
mincemeat Dire were the predictions
Of the scaremongers when the design
for the palace was made public The
first gale, they said, would inevitably
wreck it, while the heat engendered by
the sun pouring its rays upon the
domed glass roof would be so terrific
that no human beings could Withstand
it. Consequently if they escaped an
avalanche of glass they would be
roasted to death inside the case.

A ROYAL Superstition

Canterbury cathedral, England, like
most Catholic cathedrals. is decorated
with innumerable inches for statues.
At Canterbury series Of these inches
is occupied with statues of kings and
queens of England. and there are only
four inches left unoccupied. An old
tradition has it that when all the
inches are filled the throne of England
will come to an end. Queen Victoria.
was approached with view to a
statue of herself being placed in one
of the four remaining inches. but her
late majesty was aware Of the old tra-
dition and refused. One wonders
whether in the future there will be
four monarchs of England sufficiently
Indifferent to superstition to defy the
tradition and allow their ef1gies to
gfill the unOccupied spaces.

RENAMES new OFFICERS
County Fair Association Also Desig-
mates Richie, White and Macken-
zie to Attend State Meeting.
MOVE TO BUY NEW GROUNDS

At a special meeting of the Beltra-
mia County Agricultural association,
at the Commercial club Saturday,
held for the purpose of making legal
the election of officers for the ensu-
ing year the following, named at a
previous meeting but not in accord
with the constitution, were renamed:
President-A. P. White,
Secretary-A. p. Richie.
Treasurer. L. Schumacher.
August Jarchow and c. F. Schroe-
der were named as vice-presidents.
At the previous meeting no elections
were made to these Offices but it was
found that the constitution demand
ed that there be vice-president from
every commissioner district and one
at large. No selection was made of
the remaining v1ce-presidents and
they will be chosen at a later meet
ing.
Delegates to the annual state meet
ing of the county fair officers to be
held in st. Paul January 9. and TO-,
were named as follows:
A. P. White, A. p. Richie and w.
R. Mackenzie. .
The association discussed the adj
visibility of obtaining new grounds
on which to hold the annual county
fair and w. c. Schroeder, A. P. Rit-
chic and F. S. Arnold were named
as committee to investigate pro-
posed sites and make a report as
soon as possible.
Secretary Richie favored the idea
of making the new grounds purchase
as soon as possible, although the
present plans call for the holding of
the fair this year at the old grounds
in the northern part of the city.
h eve have a little money with
which to work and it seems to me
that we ought to be preparing for
the move which we know must come.
If we can get new grounds. grounds
owned by the association we then
can begin to erect permanent build
ings and put up structures that will
be worth while
The consensus Of opinion was that
if desirable site can be obtained at
a reasonable price the purchase
should be made without delay.

Curious Benefits Of Drought.
Drought is dreaded by farmers and
