Judson, bad a career which was on Its plane Rooseveltlan, bargantuan and Tartarinlan. It le de scribed in "Life and Adventures of *Ned Buntllne.'" by Fred E. Pond, otb i-Mse Will Wlldwood, says the De vl News. Judson ran away from i home when eleven years old, In $ A, became a sailor and then a mid i|man. At fifteen he fought a duel seven midshipmen who had de fed to mess with him. Then seventeen years old Judson Ted with distinction In the Sem le war. He became a hunter In the *erglades, then hurried off to the ickles In the employ of the North \ast Fur company, turned back to the ^Southwest, where he irled and fought more duels. Judson became a mainstay of the Knickerbocker Magazine in its best years and was so violent a begetter of Sensational romances that he onice\ wrote a book of 610 pages in 62 hours. He turned into a patriot with the Know Nothings, and on account of his share in the Astor place riot was sent to the penitentiary for a year. He then took himself to the Adfron dacks, which he helped make classic ground for sportsmen. He served in 'the Mexican and Civil wars. Buntllne" brought "Buffalo Bill" on the stage In a play he wrote one Wed nesday afternoon, rehearsed over the Week-end and produced the following Monday. He came to the end of his career In 1886, only after he had writ more than 200 volumes of tumul tuous blood-and-thunder. HEROINE HAD HER SYMPATHY Swedish Maid Took Paragraph In Book Which 8he Was Reading, a Little Too Literally. One of the peculiarities W bur lan guage was brought to ths notice of a Chicago woman by bar Swedish maid. This girl had attended night school for some weeks and was delighted by her attainments In BngU&b. She ex pressed her wish to try her knowledge by reading a story In English, and the mistress recommended for her perusal, tsto called "A Modern Cinderella," then running in one of the magaslnes. ft Iras simply worded and appeared not to present any lingoJstlc pitfalls. "Did yon like It, Hilda7' asked the tBolstress, when the magaslne was re turned. Tas, ma'am," was the reply, "but I am sorry she had so much trouble and those glass eyes, too. My brudder, he had one glass eye, and it was hard for Mm." The lady of the house was puzzled so Hilda unfolded the magazine and pointed with a respectful finger to the following undeniable proofs: "As Polly moved about the kitchen, doing her work, her eyes suddenly fell en the letter which lay unopened on *er aunt's lap. "'Keep your eyes where they be- long,' said that lady sharply, and poor tolly colored with shams." How the Heart Beats. A normal heart, from long before birth to death, beats roughly once a second, and If it stops beating at any time of day or night or weekday or Sunday for as long as sixty seconds it never begins beating again. The nor mal beat begins at the top of the heart and runs down to the bottom of the heart with the regularity of a toss running down the length of a rope. When the toss, however, instead of running regularly down the length of ^the rope, scatters its force and merely sets the rope shaking feebly through sot Its length It loses Its force, and to the same way when the beat of the heart instead of running regularly and easily down from the top of the heart to the bottom merely sets the heart feebly a-quiver we have the condition called filtration. Air's Density Chsnges. Job spoke of the "bottles" of heaven, and St. Augnstlne and others thought there were windows in heaven, and as these were opened or closed so the rain began and ended. But that was long ago. Even as tote as the middle of the eighteenth century the chemical "lature of the air was not known. ie density of the atmosphere re amed constant It could all be cora- -n/ *esse Into a layer about five miles Clap "Ick. In that case the highest moua gladlr% peaks would stand out in specs dent tfcing the so-called homogeneous l*a '^osphere. But the density de ^prtJ^lases with elevation, and when the fetorhreachesaan elevation 10,000 frf ti^n le in medium whicofIs only ^lObout one-third as dense as at the ground. There are no clouds above this level. Fashions in Suicide. It seems that there are fashions in {suicide. A medical Journal traces their history from the stone age, when men fsought death by Jumping from cliffs or disappearing In the sea. The an ie nt Egyptians poisoned themselves with prossic acid extracted from peach kernels: the Italians of the Renais sance used weird combinations of ar senic. Shooting came with the cheap ening of firearms, asphyxia with tne use of gas for lighting. Carbolic acid was the favorite method when every household kept a bottle of this for fighting bedbugs. The death of a banker from an accidental' dose of mercuric chloride (corrosive subsV t?) eet a new fashion. RIDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1920 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER TOKEN OF THEIR GOOD WILL 8ovlet Government Made Present of Entire Train to Americans Whom They Expelled. When the soviet government took control in the Urals, writes French Strother in the World's Work, the workmen at Kyahtim organised their soviet They waited on the American staff at the mines and said they were sorry, but a new day had dawned, in which the workers would be sole to own and operate everything them selves. Regretfully, because they Uked asm, they woald have to ssnd their American ftlsnds sway.

Power!si Magnets. la a far cry from lifting a tack by means of magnetism to the lifting of massive Iron plates weighing four, six and twelve tons by tins same force, which Is now dons every workday In a number of large steel works. Blec tromagnetlam, of course, Is utilised, the form of the magnet being usually rectangular for this work and present ing a flat surface to the pistes lifted. The magnets are suspended by chains from cranes, and pick up the plates by simple contact. The metal plates can be lifted by the magnet while still so hot that It would be impossible for men to handle them. The ratio of weight lifted varies with the machine in some cases this ratio is 80.

"Several years ago my wife suf fered a general breakdown," he con tinued, "and since that time her health has been miserable. She had indigestion so bad that nearly every thing she ate soured on her stomach and caused her to have heavy, nau seated feeling in her chest for hours afterwards. She suffered from con stipation and constantly had to be taking laxatives. Her nerves were badly upset and little noises she had always been used to would startle her terrible. She was restless at night, got very little sleep and had lost so much strength and energy that she looked like she was almost ready to give up any time. "I spent a lot of money on differ ent medicines and treatments, but everything failed until she tried Tan lac. But Tanlac didn't fail and that is just the reason why her troubles have all left her and she is looking so well and strong today. She does not have to worry over what to eat now, because everything agrees with her and she does not suffer any bad after effects at all. She is free from constipation and her nerves are so steady she can sleep all night long like a child. Since her troubles have disappeared she is getting back her strength and energy and says she is feeling like a different person alto gether." Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by City Drug Store and by the leading drug gists in every town.
