LID on TIGHT 4 |PERHAM
Government Officers Find Former Sa-
loon Men are Placing Fruit
Stands Screens Removed.
AGENTS RETURN TO BEMDU

Although its saloons have been
closed but short time, the Indian
treaty of 1855 being the cause, Per-
ham has already gained the distinc-
ton of being the only place in the
dry" territory where the lid is
truly in force.t z- +
Thinking that liquor might be on
sale illegally as in many other towns
which have been closed by the gov
eminent, several officers visited Per
ham yesterday and inspected every
former saloon and questionable place.
Not a smell of booze was to be
found and the proprietors of the sa-
looms were busy removing screens,
many of them converting their build
ings into confectionery stores and
placing large stocks of candies, fruits
and cigars. -: r. - r..
"Perham is absolutely clean from
liquor" said q. w. Carson, special
officer of the Indian department, who
returned to Bemid1i last evening.
''The people there take the closing
order as matter of course and al
ready such a change has been made
that residents have almost forgotten
that saloons ever operated there"
Three arrests have been made at
Detroit on charges of introducing IL
quor into Indian territory recently.
John Fosberg was bound over to the
Federal grand jury, and being unable
to provide bail was committed to the
Fergus Falls Jail. George Tischauser,
we'll known butcher of Detroit, Sc
cured bail of $500 and H. T.. Clark
of Galloway, also secured bail.
The latter man was arrested by De-
putty Special Officer Charles Benson.
Three officers have been in Be-
midi during the past several days,
Special Officers j. P Brandt and L.
w. Carson and Deputy Special Officer
Benson. Benson and Brandt have
left the city but are expected to re-
turn some time today =

London, March 1.-There was a
little old woman of French nation
atty, whose shot-riddled little cot
tage was about mile behind our
trenches. She had a huge supply of
cider, and when one of us got money
and chance we would sneak through
the trenches back to her little house,
knock on the shattered window until
she opened it and handed out big
cup full of apple juice.
my good old husband" as she
described him, was killed in the cot
tage by a German bullet We buried
the body for her and asked her why
she did not move.
NO. no. she exclaimed, @'this is
my home and if I die anywhere I
die here 1879
Signal to Germans.
One night we saw three little
tlickers of light come from a chink
of the shattered window. On a hill
far away in the German lines we
saw tiny light blink three times.
For three nights we watched the
sparkling schink in the widows win
dow blind. We, didn't want to be-
lieve she was a spy, because if she
was taken .saway we would miss our
cider. But at last we had to act
We caught her one night in the deed
and our officers sent her away, I
don't know where. She had sold
her country for German gold Hers
was oaIy one .nfsttsHe az TIE q Her
*oughness- of the German system.
One day we found telephone wire
running through the beet fields from
the German trenches to a point far
behind our lines. It ended at pop
lar tree, where a German spy, hidden
in the branches had been phoning
the enemy all the details of our
movements. But Demeille was the
spy of all spies. He lived with us
in our trenches, he shot at the Ger
mans and cursed them as we did.
But all the time he was sending mes
sages to them. And when he was
caught in the act, he kept silent like
a man. Our officers took charge Of
him and he disappeared executed,
we heard. In those early days of the
war, when foreigners in Paris were
forming foreign legion, Demeille,
a splendid looking big man, with q
beard that gave him distinguished
appearance and manner that was
the essence of courtesy, got his name
into the list and was accepted. He
had money. in unlimited quantities
and before we. departed from Paris
to the front, he gave parties right

His profession was that of an engi-

 Here is a bit of good advice from the United States Fish Con- mission: Always wet your hand when you remove from the hook a fish that is too small to keep. It prevents injury to the fish.

THE BALL PKAYER'S PRAYER

Lord, help me to play the game. 1t matters not to you whether 1 am talented or poor in natural gifts; wealthy or starving. lea der among men or a simple foll- over, so that play the game as you would have it played. Help me to keep my eye on the ball, that the curves of temptation not deceive me. Keep my feet in the path of righteousness, that l may touch second and third on my way round the bases. Help me to beat out my bunts, and hold me that 1 stray not too far from base when the catcher Is ready to peg me. Count not my foul balls against me, o Lord for the batting eye sometimes goes wrong, though the intent ion is right. Help me in the pinches, Lord, because a good hingle might bring my brother home. Let not the music of the fans keep my eye from the ball, nor the enticements of the slab man draw me away from the need of a clean single with a man on second. Help me, o Lord, to bat over 300, becaus my eyes are on the big league for eternity even while l so jurn here among the bushleage uers.

Is Wisdom Worth Anything?

Some men and their families are certainly happier
than others.
The difference is partly owing to the wisdom of the
happy ones and lack Of wisdom the part OF those less
happy.
Unhappy people are likely to somebody else,
and sometimes they are right Some people have been
robbed cheated unfortunate in ways they could
prevent Even then, however, wise people will be
happy in the midst of misortunes than unwise people
But in many certainly misfortunes can be traced to
mistakes.
Now how shall we get wisdom?
In the first place wise people take notice.; they
keep their eyes open they the mistakes Of others and
their wise actions also, and Judge
In the second place people get wisdom by reflection.
They study their conduct and calculate before
hand how things will turn out The great victories OF
the world are fought and won in thought before they
in action
And above all, wise people get wisdom by saving
up wisdom. They take The Citizen and cut out every
week extracts which they know will help them later
on. They keep these clippings in number OF envel
opes sorted out according to the subject read them from
time to time, and so make them their own.
The way to be wise is to set store by wisdom
