with glittering mica dust. Thi.
doubtless explains how. the story Of
the gilded man originated; but such
an idea seems not to have occurred tc
Diego and his men. They saw "emer-
aids as big as a mans fist" The story
told by Diego and his men when they
returned to the settlements aroused
great excitement. Evidently the king.
dom Of Ell Dorado was not far from
this marvellous country which Order
had penetrated.
Next came great expedition Of two
thousand led by. Don Antonio de Ber-
/, rio, .son-in-law Of the conqueror Of
New Granda- Land owners in Spain
sold their ancestral lands and crossed
the sea to join DON Antonio. The
town was buzzing with talk of gold
and emeralds; native from the inte-
rior came to Cumana, where the ex-
pedition was fitted out, and he brought
q basketful Of golden images to sell
or barter. A man named Juan Marti-
nez arrived in town with q lurid story
Of having been captured by the In
dians and carried to Mano itself, and,
according to his story, the half Of its
wonders and glories had not been re-
corded.
OF the 1000 men, thirty came strag-
Cling back, half famished, racked by
fever, quite worn out. De Berrio was
one Of the thirty. Illness. wild beasts
and natives, made savage by Spanish
cruelty had killed the rest
In the spring Of 1896 Sir Walter
Raleigh. rowing the high seas in search
Of plunder, cast anchor outside Of Port
Of Spain, on the island Of Trinidad. He
too, had heard Of the realm Of the
Gilded Man. So he attacked and cap
tured the Spanish settlement pro-
ceeded to the mainland and sent an
expedition up the Orinoco in search
Of the kingdom of Ell Dorado. Need
less to say, the kingdom was not
found. The British came to water
falls which prevented further passage
up stream; the dense tropical jungle
was more than they cared to pene-
trate. But Raleigh was certain that
gold was there. He sent out two more
expeditions, one In 1895, another in
1897, and In Callao he actually found
gold fields.
But at that, Sir Walter must have
drawn heavily on his imagination
when he wrote, after returning home.
Every mountain, every stone In the
forests Of the Orinoco shines like the
precious metals. II it be not gold, 1t
Is the mother Of gold"
In 1917 Sir Walter led a final search
for Manoa and the Gilded Man. There
was battle with the Spaniards New
Years day, 1913; the English fell into
an ambuscade, and Sir Walters son
was killed. At last the Spanish were
driven back, and Sir Walter sailed up
the Orinoco as far as the narrows
where Ciudad Bolivar now stands; he
climbed hill and looked over the Or
inoco, stretching away to the west;
then he turned back.
When he arrived in England, he
was thrown into prison, although King
James probably would have received
him with honor had he been success
full. Instead he was sent to the block,
and died without ever having seen the
tabled Gilded Man. For the Gilded
Man was only phantom which lured
men to ruin and death, and the gilt
tering towers Of Manoa were never
builded except in the mind Of some
too fanciful adventurer, looking away
into the glow of sunset and building
castles in the air.-Kansas City Times.

On the following day Ethel Sardis
dispatched letter to Sir Valentine
Arbuckle, and in it she inclosed a draft
for the amount to which she stood in

of gold that Mercy had given her.
AT the request Of friend" she
wrote, Il restore to you this tri1e,

And with no other explanation than
this, the ring went on its way across
the sea.

HOW An INDIANA Girl
Got Strong and Well Again at Small

Got Strong and Well Again at Small
Cost.
Miss Alta Abel, OF West Baden,
Ind. says: 4 was a complete wreck,
always tired, worn out and nervous.
i had to spend about one-third Of my
time in bed and my life was not
worth living. Vinol. your delicious
cod liver ad iron tonic was recon-
mended, and it has done me more
good than all the medicine ever
took in my life. That nervous and
tired feeling is all gone. I have
gained in health, flesh and strength,
until ] feel like another person.
Vinol is the most efficient strength
creator for such women. It is the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
contained in vinol aided by the blood
making and strengthening properties
of tonic iron which makes it so far
superior to all other tonics to build
up health and strength for weak,
tired, ailing women. It contains no
oil and has a delicious taste.
We give back your money If Vinol
does not do all that we claim. Bar

MIXED WITH SULPHUR IT DARK

OFF DANDRUFF.,

Almost every one knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural col
or and lustre to the hair when fad
ed, streaked or gray; also cures dand-
ruff, itching scalp and stops falling
hair. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays skilled chemists do this
better than ourselves. BY asking at
any drug store for the ready-to-use
product-called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy"-you will get
large bott for about fifty cents.

That the voters of the Fourth and
Fifth districts made no mistake in
selecting as their representatives on
the county board, Messrs. Lennon and
Thompson, is self-evident. Their work
at the first session of the board has
already demonstrated that they are
men truly representative. They are
men of conviction, courage, JUDGMENT
and ability. They are men who
work for their constituents and at
all times have the interest $ of the
county at heart. They are men who
consider service to the people their
just duty. They believe in the econ
omical distribution of the county's
funds and to secure for it all that the
dollar will buy. Both are thorough,
we'll trained business men, and will
command the highest respect of the
citizens of their county and other
members of the board.

England to Own Phones.

A recent dispatch from ENGLAND
would indicate that the British are
making more advancement in govern.
ment ownership Of public utilities
than are the United States. Following
is the dispatch:
The British government is to pay
to the National Telephone company
OF the United Kingdom the sum OF
$62,576,320> for it's property, accord.
ing to a decision reached by the rail.
way and canal commission sitting as
a court of arbitration.
The whole of the telephone system
in the British isles passed into the
hands of the state on Jan. 1, 1912

terest, but during the seventy-three
day trial just ended this claim was
reduced by many millions.
1t had been expected by stock ex.
change experts, however, that the
company would receive from $780,
100000 to ~s9o,o0o,ooo. The stock
OF the company Immediately upon
announcement of the award fell from
'141 to 100.
The arbitration has been one of the
most important in the history of the
country.
During the trial the parties came
to an agreement as to the cost of the
plant, the sum being $5l,56S,625.
The court then had to decide the
percentages which should properly
be- added to that SUM and also the
depreciation.

GRAY HAIR TURNS ITS NATURAL COLOR
after APPLYING A LITTLE SAGE TEA

it's usually too sticky, so insist upon
getting "Wyeth's" which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair and is the best
remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish,
itchy scalp and to stop falling hair.
Folks like "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur" because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as
it does it so naturally and evenly,
says well-known downtown drug
gist. You dampen sponge or soft
brush and draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at time.
This requires but few moments, by
morning the gray hair disappears
and after another application or two
is restored to it's natural color and
looks even more beautiful and glossy

One OF the most important results
of this expedition was the pushing of
the tree line much farther north.
Many scientists claimed that there
were no trees nearer the Arctic ocean
but Mr.. Stefansson found them grow
ing within ten miles of the Polar sea-
In the talk last night the speaker
also gave some very interesting facts
regarding the religion of the natives.
Christianity has only been prevalent
there for a few years, and the natives
have not yet learned why they do GER
tain things, but hey are very earnest
in their beliefs. They do not, how
ever, go far enough in some cases,
and, too far in others. Their religion
is practically composed of a number
Of prohibitions, and if they refrain
from one thing that is bad, they do
something else that is just as bad, but
they do not know it. For instance,
the missionaries told them that it is
wrong to use their fish nets on Sun
day, but nothing was said about the
use of hooks, and the. : natives fish
with nets during the week and use
hooks on Sunday. ~ -.

Interesting Sidelights.

In his lecture in Grand Forks on
Monday night, V. Stefanson, arctic
explorer brought out some side
lights on Eskimo life which may be
interesting to Bemidji readers. The
following paragraphs are taken from
the Grand Forks Herald:
A trip Of 400 miles to get some
matches was one Of. the many inter-
esting experiences in the far north
which were related by v. stefansson,
the now famous Arctic explorer, in
his lecture at the university last
night. 1t took him all summer to get
to store. he said, and then he had
to spend the winter in Alaska be-
cause it was too cold to return. This
trip alone cost the party $4,000 and
lot of valuable time. !
Another interesting thing that the
lecturer spoke of was the agriculture
that is carried on up here. Most peo-
pie have the idea that there is moth
ing but hardship and cold there, but.
Mr.. Stafansson stated that grain and
potatoes are grown as far as 1900
miles north Of Edmonton. In the
summer time the thermometer goes
as high as 105 degrees above zero and
in the winter it never falls much
lower than so below. The speaker
claims that the winter there is much
more welcome there than the summer
ire more numerous and Troublesome
