The Mexican chief further asked

HALL IS CROWDED
AT MEMORIAL DAY
EXERCISES HERE
All Of Bemidji Pays High Tribute to
the Old Soldiers; Good Pro-
gram is Given.
CEREMONIES ARE
VERY INSPIRING
DR.. M. D. Fuller in Address of Day
Tells What Old Soldiers Have
Given Country.

All of Bemidji observed Memorial
Day yesterday.
Business houses, public offices and
schools were closed. Flags were
everywhere, floating over entrances
and from windows, betokening the
spirit of the day.
The day was beautiful, in fact one
of the best had by Bemidji for sew
eral weeks.
Patriotic Crowd. r.
There may have been larger and
more enthusiastic crowds within the
city hall, but never one more patriotic
or thrilling than which assembled
yesterday afternoon to listen to mar
tial music and speeches extolling the
patriotic dead. -...--...
In mastery and impressive man
ner, DR.. NJ D. Fuller, orator of the
day, told of the results of the Civil
war in which so many gave up their
lives that this nation might not be
divided. He stated that not only did
the soldiers of 81 give preservation
of the union, but they retained other
states from seeding Had the cause
of the Union failed, probably one
| third of the union states would have
gone over to the Confederacy side,
said DR.. Fuller. The Civil war has
made the country known the world
over. It brought this country to no.
tice. DR.. Fuller emphasized the in
crease of immigration since the war
the development of resources, and the
fact that the United States has al
ways been respected by other nations
In asking the question, "What did the
war cast?" DR.. Fuller urged the audi
ence to ask the old soldiers who were
severed from their families, or the
women and children who remained al
home.

Frank Wins Prize.
Frank for Bemidji won the two
dollar prize offered by Bemidji pro-
fessional man for the first two-bagger
of the season. He succeeding in
slamming the ball to the right field
fence in the first inning and fell
short about six inches of clearing the
fence. The home run and three-bag-
ger prizes were not taken. Judge NJ.
A. Spooner is the professional man
who offered the prizes in order to en-
courage the local players.
Kannerberg pitched a good game
for Bemidji. He allowed only six
hits, three of these coming in the
ninth inning. The work of Frank
as catcher was one of the features of
the game. His throwing to bases
was deadly and he caught the only
two Fosston players who tried to steal
second.
Tagland of no-hit fame, who pitch
ed for Fosston, played a good game,
but lacked support. The Fosston
team made nine errors.

A Good Indian.

With all his faults, the American
Indian in his best estate has the mighty
virtues Of loyalty and courage. A
touching example of the nobility of
character that many of them are capu-
BILE of is given in the late John Muir's
"Travels in Alaska"
MIR. Muir describes the coming of
missionaries to the Stickecn Indians of
Fort Wrangell and their success in
ChrlStianizing them. The tribeslnen,
ne says. were encouraged to accept the
Christian faith by their head chief, but
! ne told them he could not himself be-
come Christian, for this reason:
Il wish you to learn this new religion
and teach it to your children, so that
you may all 60 when you die to that
good heaven country of the white man
and be happy. But am too old to
learn a new religion; and, besides,
many of my people who have died were
bad and foolish people, and, if this
word the missionaries have brought us
Is true. as l think it is, many Of my
people must be in that bad country the
missionaries call 'he4l;' and 1 must 70

WASTE OF MENTAL ENERGY
OF All Forms Of FooIishness the Civ.
Ing Way to Anger 10 About
the Worst.

1t wouldn't be easy to find the per-
son who never makes careless or I'M
kind remark. None of us likes to be
criticized for every chance word we
may happen to utter. Why allow our
selves to become angry at some chance
remark or carelessness of another?
Give him time to recover his good ma.
ture.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath"
Very likely the hard word wasn't
meant, anyhow, and was no sooner ut
tered than repented of. Do not lose
your temper because someone else lost
his. 1t isn't well that two should be
angry at the same time. If someone
really wishes to be mean to you, the
best return you can make is to show
him he can say nothing important
enough to disturb you. 1t is the best
revenge one can take.
Anger is not good for body or mind.
1t poisons the blood; it disturbs cir
culation; it retards digestion. 1t
takes from your vitality and saps
strength. 1t hinders you from being
happy or from giving happiness to 9TH
ers. 1t Is waste of mental energy,
1t leaves a scar on the soul not easily
effaced. If you would retain your self.
respect, keep control of your temper.
Anger Is the weapon of the fool.

They are small, stunted trees, seldom
reaching q diameter Of more than a
foot at the butt. At the mill the logs
are first cut lengthwise by circular
saws into planks. These are cut into

who, with circular saws, rip them
into what are called "s!ats." Only

It had been a slashing day on the

It was the last episode of a long
drawn-out fight against him, in which
one man, with paltry five millions,

Bitterly Jephson reflected that some

MAY AsToNIsH THE WORLD
Find Of Prehistoric Skeletons That Il
ls Believed Will Prove of
Greatest Value.

Near the outskirts of Los Angeles
Is bit Of ground underneath which
lies a bed Of asphaltum. In this
thick, black substance are concealed
thousands of skeletons which once be.
lOhged to strange, prehistoric animals.
The owner Of the 35-acre tract has
presented this subterranean treasury
OF ancient secrets to the city of Los
Angeles with the understanding that
the search for fossils is to go on and
that the skeletons recovered are to be
housed in Il museum to be maintained
upon the spot.
The LaBrea ranch, on which prehis-
tOric bone discoveries were first made
three years ago, has already produced
the most striking collection of skele-
tons in prehistoric animals in exist
ence. The country in that section must
have been favOrite haunt for strange
animals Of all kinds in the dim ages
OF the past. The theory is that these
animals wandered unsuspectingly into
the asphaltum area, were overcome by
fumes, and expired. The asphaltum
preserved their bones in perfect con-
dition. Up to the present the COM
plete skeletons of 16 imperial ele-
plants have been recovered, together
with hundreds of skeletons of I'M
known species. including enormous
birds.
This rich discovery is destined to
prove OF immense Importance to scien-
fists. who, up to the present. have
been obliged to reproduce prehistoric
creatures from more or less incOm.
plete specimens. Montana, Nebraska,
and Wyoming have yielded remarkable
fossils. These, however, have usually
been recovered only at great labor, the
bones being incased in solid stone or
buried deep in the earth. The bones
on the LaBrea. however, are easily re-
covered. and 1t may be possible to
construct from them story of the
prehistoric animal kingdom which
some day will amaze the world.-Cin.
