Len G.. Crothers of Bemidji, Mimi,
a former resident here sends a fine
birdseye view of that city of 5000 in
habitants, on card to w. p. Hether-
ington and writes as follows:
Friend Hetherington:
Il am sending you this card to show
you what kind of looking town we
have here and what a nice place it is
to spend the warm summer months.
We have a fine hotel at the head of
the lake about six miles from town.
This is getting to be quite summer
resort. There are cottages all around
the lake and situated right in a game
preserve. No shooting allowed on the
big lake at all, but large rice bed
and good shooting just south of town.
Come out and go hunting and fishing.
We also have some trout fishing and
very large ones, too. Genuine brook
trout that weigh two pounds ten
ounces, and we are stocking more
streams. George Baker and / were
out last June and caught twenty-five
nice Oswego bass that weighed three
and one-half and four pounds apiece.
Will enclose picture of them. We
are having a fine winter here. Bust
ness is good. Hope this will find you
well. Give my regards to all of my
old friends"

In Clayton Hamilton's ION the Trail
of Stevenson" is this quaint passage
between the boy and his nurse. Alison
Cunningham:
when little Louis was about five
years old he did something naughty.
and 'Cummy' stood him up In a corner
and told him he would have to stay
there for ten minutes: then she left the
room. At the end Of the allotted period
she returned and said, Times up. Mas.
ter Lou; you may come out now But
the little boy stood motionless in his
penitential corner. That's enough;
times up repeated Dummy And then
the child mystically raised his hand.
and, with strange light In his eyes.
HUSH he said. I'm telling myself n
story

Weiahina Machines.

Weighing machines and scales OF
some kind were in use 1900 B. c.. for
1t is said that Abraham at that time
weighed out" 400 sbekels of silver,
current money. with the merchant tc
Ephron. the Hittite. as payment for a
piece of land, including the cave and
all the standing timber IN the field
and In the fence" This is said to be
the earliest transfer of land of which
any record survives and In which. the
payment was made in the presence Of
witnesses. The original form OF the
weighing scale was probably bar
suspended from the middle with a
board or shell suspended from each
end. one to contain the weight. the
other to contain the matter TO be
weighed. The steelyard was probably
so called from the material OF which II
was made and from its former length.
1t Is also known as the Roman bal
ance and Is OF great antiquity.

Mr. Cooper has accomplished wonders
here in the cause of temperance. His
series of fifteen lectures has radically
changed public sentiment in this COM

the pledge and among these are those
who have been slaves to drink. They
have put on the uniform and doned
the temperance armour and now stand
side by side with life long devotees. of
temperance in this noble and blessed
work. Mr.. Cooper deserves and has
the united thanks of this entire COM
munjty for the work that he has been
instrumental, under God, in accom-
plishing.
