HIS GOOD GUESS.
How the sehoelmastsr Calculated the
 weight of the Pig.

r. / ' E F> How the seheelmastsr Calculated the
 weight of the Pig.
 Men wonder at what they do not understand, but seeming marvel often becomes absurdly simple when it is explained. Many years ago a schoolmaster in the course of his travels had occasion to stay for day or two at a country tavern. As he sat in the public room with a dozen other persons, evidently na- tives of the place, there came along man with fat hog that he was driving to market. Leaving the animal outside, he entered the inn and joined the little company. Sev- eral of the latter went to the win dow to look at the hog.
 '"That's a fine pig you've got there, neighbor," remarked one. |'Do you know what he'll weigh?"
 "Yes, Sir" returned the pigs owner. "I had him on the scales just before I started out. What do you guess he'll weigh? ?"
 The questioner, thus questioned in turn, looked at the pig carefully and made a guess. The owner turn ed to the rest of the company and said:
 "Will not somebody else give a guess? Just for the fun of it let everybody have try"
 The proposal met with favor. One after another the men eyed the pig critically and after due con- aderation gave their estimates of his weight. The schoolmaster, who seemed deeply absorbed in his own thoughts, alone took no part in the contest. But he was not to be let off.
 "Say, friend," the owner of the pig urged, "aren't we going to hear from you?'' :.
 The pedagogue, who perhaps had never in his life looked attentively at pig, rose, went to the window and gazed out at this one. He de- liberated for a moment, then, with modest hesitation, named a certain number of pounds.
 At hearing it the eyes and mouth of the pigs owner opened wide in astonishment.
 "Waal, I swan" he exclaimed You're the champion! All the others guessed either over or under. but you've hit it almost to pound.'
 Every one stared at the school master admiringly, but no one was shrewd enough to tell how he had been able to make so good guess. It had not been lucky hit, although he could have done quite as well without seeing the pig. He knew nothing about swine, but he knew a good deal about figures. Having heard the guesscs of eleven more or less expert judges, he had added to- gether their figures, divided the sum by eleven and "guessed" the result.-Youth's Companion.

A Good Laugh.

Every hearty laugh tends to pro- long life, as it makes the blood flow more rapidly and gives new and different stimulus to all the organs of the body from what is in force at the other times. The saying Laugh and grow fat" has therefore foun- dation in fact.

CARRIERS sHUNT LOADS
Postman Smile Because Of Parcel
Post and at Deliverance From
Bundle Avalanches Of Past.
STRAINED LOOK NOW A SMILE

The big, cumbersome mail sack,
which weighed five POUNDS empty
and nearly five times that amount
when filled, and which heretofore has
adorned every Bemidji mail carrier
during the few weeks proceeding
Christmas, has met it's doom, for the
parcel post deliveryman has stepped
to the postmens assistance. The par
Gel post has relieved almost entirely
the Christmas rush of the mail car
Iriers and now the sacks are not
much more heavy than at any other
period of the year.
The postman who usually at this
time of the year spent the daytime in
trying to deliver the Christmas mails
and nights in rubbing himself down
with liniments as the result Of the
strain from carrying the big weighed
down mail sacks, is today ightefoot-
ed as in midsummer, and his former
strained look at this time of the year
has changed to one Of more smiling
nature.
A week from today brings Christ
mas and as the time of the giving
of presents approaches the mail
steadily crowns heavier, and will
continue to do so for another week,
the heavy mail probably not showing
any great decrease until two or three
days after Christmas.

Ing Root for President. AMI no men,

PoMei enc on that same afternoon
s1ose and answered, thoughtfully
and conclusively, the entire Root
eruption.
No, good people, what you saw was
an illusion produced by Big Business
as {. final effort to keep the precious
banking reserves in Wall Street in
stead of scattering them for the use
Of the people. Fortunately, Demo-
clatic economic principles are to be
tried now not by oratory but by au-
tual> practice. And no more fortu-
nate thing for Democracy could hap
pen than the nomination of Root for
President on the Republican ticket.

.B ! IS HOME
OF AUTO MAGAZINE
Inland Motorist, Official Organ Of
Minnesota Retail Automobile Deal
ers Association Being Printed
IS PUBLISHED By 6. W. JEwETT
Il Considered As Medium BY Dealers
In Reaching Customers OF Five
States
s PUBLISHED BY G. W. JEWETT

Bemidji is to be the home of a
monthly magazine known as the en-
land Motorist,''' the first issue Of
which is now on the press. The new
magazine is published by G. w.
Jewett, of Bemidji, president of the
Minnesota Retail Dealers Associa-
ton, Of which. it will be the official
organ.
The Automobile Retail Dealers AS
ISOLATION was effectively organized
last February and during the past
year has grown so rapidly that it has
become necessary to publish maya
zine, the purpose OF which is to as
sist the association in standardising
the automobile business, making it
business not game.
The work of the association is re-
ceiving the endorsement and hearty
support of many of the manufactur-
ers in the automobile and accessory
lines and practically every automo-
bile distributor in the Twin Cities.
The aim of the association is to fin
ally eliminate the so-called "Cunb-
stone" agent.
z" The magazine is being published
in this city, by the Benz
idji Pioneer Publishing Co., It is
being printed on fine enamel book
paper and the first. issue will con-
tain from 60 to 70 pages.
Hundreds of retail automobile
dealers in the state have already
|jointed the association and subscrib-
ed for the magazine. Applications
from North and South Dakota, Mon
tana and Iowa, are being received by
P. G. Frazee Of Pelican Rapids, sec
Eretary of the Minnesota association,
for membership in the association.
The fact that practically every re-
tail automobile dealer in the above
mentioned states is now or will be-
come a subscriber to this dealers
magazine, is meeting with favor
among the big advertisers, as it gives
them medium which they can reach
just the men they desire. For the
automobile business and the acces-
sorry lines, it is considered as near to
a 100 per cent quality circulation as
any medium now on the market.
Plans are already under way for
the second number, which goes to
press about January 20. This will
be called the automobile show edition
and advertisers are engaging space
for this issue. The size of the maya
zine will be 9x12 inches.
