SALOONS TO CLOSE
DNTIMATES LARSON
Special Agent Of Indian Department
Says Law Enforcement Means
Lid" for Treaty Country.
NO INFORMATION FOR PUBLIC
Liquor Dealers Prepared for Order to
Suspend Business and Cannot Un.
derstand Delay of Government.

Expected information concerning
just what action is to be taken by
the government in connection with
the enforcement of the liquor provi-
sions of the 1856 Indian treaty was
not forthcoming with the arrival of
Henry A. Larson, special Indian
agent, in the city last evening.
Larson, together with j. B. Brandt
and L. w. Larson, Indian agents,
have been in consultation in their
rooms at the Hotel Markham prac-
tically all day. They were inter-,
viewed by William McCuaig, mayor,
and R. F. Murphy, president of the
council, but absolutely refused to
make public any plan which had been
made by the department of Indian
affairs. ~.
1ntimates Closing.
'Do you think that the saloons will
be closed?" was asked Mr.. Larson
That's the law, as 1 understand
it," was the extent of his reply.
Brandt and L. w. Larson maintain
the same attitude as that of their
chief and refuse to make any COM
ment upon the matter. :
Prepared to Close.
The mandate of the United States
supreme court has already been re-.
ceived by Federal authorities at Min
neapolis and will become effective on
November is, just thirty days after
the filing of the decision denying a
request for new hearing. There
are more than one hundred saloons
which will be closed through the en-
forcement of the treaty liquor provi-
sion and it is understood that prac-
tically every retail liquor dealer ex-
poets and is prepared to close his
place of business, should he be d.
,rected to do so. .t%sgs
-, Wonder at Delay.
Saloon keepers have daily expected
to secure information from the aos-s
ernment authorities and wonder why
they are not given opportunity to
learn from authoritative source just
what they are to expect. The opin-
ion here seems to agree with that of
w. G. Calderwood, who stated while
in Bemidji two weeks ago, that the
government would close every saloon
of the dry territory and that every
bar would be given limit of thirty
days in which to dispose of it's stock
and discontinue business.
Will Close Anyway.
"While it is expected that the sa-
looms will be made to close through
the enforcement of the treaty." said
a prominent Bemidji prohibitionist
this afternoon, Il feel that we will
vote them out of Bemidji anyway in
the spring. The general sentiment
in Bemidji favors prohibitions; it is
sure to come and Bemidji will be dry
without doubt by the first day of
next March, even though the govern
ment should fail to enforce the law"

MEMORIES ALWAYS WITH US
Pleasant or Otherwise, There Is No Possible Way of Banishins Them
 From Ones Life.

"A single strain of memorys softly singing music-oHe sympathetic chord that touches us, and the fioodgates of the past turn wide and loose the tor rent that would o'erwhelm us"
 Shadows of memory-fiitting across the heart like birds in flight passing catching the flicker of wandering moonbeams, fading again into gray. ness of shadow.
 Do you believe In fairies?
 Do you believe in Collins,
 Do you believe the fireffies light the street lamps in the evening?
 Memories are but fairies older of the heart when twilight shadows gather round about, and darkness settles over all.
 Memories that bless and bring a smile to lips long since grown grave.
 Memories that bless and bring 8 tear to eyes unused to low
 Memories that burn and scar the heart. and open wide the wounds of yester-year.
 There are no ghosts save those that walk in the graveyard of memory.
 The bitterest drop within the cup at close of day Is to know that that which we have left undone has caused another pain.
 Close the heart to the voice of mem ory as we may-it ever stalks behind us as record that will bless ar hurn
 Today we make the memories of to- morrow. If we but solve life's prot lem to the best of our ability-clear of mind. clean of heart, forgetting not the little things that make the road. way rough to those that walk beside us on the path-the memories will bless, not burn-each little love will light It's lamp to cheer and guide ue through the dark.-Rose Potter.

SUCCESS NOT DUE TO LUCK
Photographer Will Not Admit That Element of Chance Enters h.
 to His Work.

When the amateur photographer S friend asked him why he looked peeved the other was glad to explain.
 "A friend of ours just asked me to come over and take a picture of her baby" he said She apologized for aksing. which was unnecessary be- cause was glad to do 1t, but she spill ed the beans by giving her reason that l had such good luck taking pictures. "
 Well, you do, don't your" inquired the friend
 There you go," the photographer exclaimed. There's no such thing as luck in my photography. What vexes me is that every one seems to consid CT them inseparable
 Photography Is as exact a science as running a survey nowadays with those who know how to handle a cam era. With the photometer and expos ure tables. pgoper developer and a thermometer for determining its tenn perature, every last element of luck removed from exposure and negative making. The same is true of the printing processes. You know in ad- vance how much light you have and how much you need; factorial tables tell you how long to leave a plate in the developer; every step is timid with stop watch And that's why 1t annoys me to have people say that my art is luck proposition
 pnfn [ hoI taly lures as stand to my record now, there was sometimes luck, mostly bad Although, as it appears to me at pres ent, 1 got better results than I should have obtained. But if man with a little experience and the proper out fit exercises as much intelligence as is necessary to boil eggs, photography Is no longer a matter of luck. and thank nobody to call me lucky

In the ninth and tenth centuries the greatest princes of Europe wore wood en shoes. In the reign of William Rufus of England in the eleventh cen tWy great dude, Robert the Horned used shoes with sharp points stuffed with tow and pointed like rams horns. The Romans made use of two kinds Of shoes, the solea ox sandal, which covered tho sole of the foot and which vas worn at homo or tn company, and tho caleeua, which eovesed the whole foot and was a1. ways worn with tho toga vhsa one went abroad
 Greek shoes were peculiar in reNch, ing to the middle of the leg. Slippers were fn use before Shakespea1e's time and were originally mAde rights and lefts- Shoes among tho Jewss wore made of leather. linen. rush or wool :; soldiers shoes were usually made of brass or iron. In the reign of Richard II. shoes were of such absurd length as to be required to be tied to the knee with chains sometimes made of gold or silver
 In 1463 the English parliament took the matter in hand and passed an act forbidding shoes with spikes more than two inches In length being worn or manufactured. The present fashion In shoes was introduced into England in 1633.
