Unconscious Humor.

The annals of unconscious pulpit
humor will be enriched by an instance
furnished some little time ago at st.
Johns church, Keswick, England. A
Iady's watch has been found in the
churchyard. and the vicar in making
his usual weekly announcements from
the pulpit. referring to the find, stated
that the watch could be claimed in
the vestry. The next announcement
was: I'VE will sing hymn No. 1862:
Lord. Her Watch Thy Church Is
Keeping"

Twins Opposite in Character.

When the characters of twins are
not exactly the same they are exactly
the opposite of one another. One will
be quick, self-confident and quick-tem-

is slow, shy and good-tempered, but
slow to forgive when aroused.

A GOOD MOVE.

Agricultural development en-
thusiasts in Beltrami county
are taking steps to organize a
land clearing company. It is
proposed to clear cut over lands
for actual settlers and to sell
them the land on easy time pay
ments. Everybody interested in
northern Minnesota will watch
the experiment in that county
with interest. It seems practi-
cal and if it works out we'll it
will no doubt be taken up by
every county in the northern
section of the state where there
are cut-over lands that are avail
able for agricultural purposes.
Incidentally the progress Bel
trami county is making in agri-
cultural development is worth
noting. Ten years ago around
the present city of Bemidji there
were virgin forests. The men
who made the first attempts at
farming were ridiculed. You can
never make any money farming
around here said the skeptic. To-
day Beltrami county and the
country in the vicinity Of Bemid-
il is becoming one of the rich
est dairying sections of the e,:-
tire state and on the various
roads leading out of the city of
Bemidji there are as fine farms
as are anywhere in the state tc
be found.
In all this there is a lesson for
the range towns and cities, most
of which, by the way, are old .,
What Beltrami county has &C,
complished can be accomplished
here, just as quickly and just as
economically.
