WHAT IT TEACHES.
Business is not so good in
these United States today as it
was one year ago. Bemidji is no
exception. A campaign year is
always em harassing to business.
But in Bemidji there is also
something else to blame. The
big lumber companies are not
getting out so many logs this
winter in this section as they did
last. They may have to put their
money and their energy into the
Chippewa pine as fast as possible
so they are withholding the axe
from the pine tree elsewhere.
The more logging the better
for Bemidji and the present slack
time in logging and its effect up
on business in general in this
city points a very plain moral.
Bemidji must have other things
flour mills, the development of
its water power, manufactures of
all kinds, agriculture, etc., to de
pend upon.
The review of business condi
tions published in the Pioneer
yesterday shows that the busi
ness men of Bemidji realize this
iact. It will not be long before
Bemidji wil be fairly independent
of its logging and lumber in
dustries.
Every man should help to
speed the day.
Sunday closing
law has been called in question
and the supreme court will short
ly give the answer. Whether the
law stands or falls it is pretty
certain that some form of a Sun
day law will in time be perma
nently placed in the statute books
of the state. Whether it will be
observed and if so in what de
gree will depend entirely upon
each individual community. Each
community gets just about the
law and order that the general
public thereof demands.
HE truth about the scrap in
the state teachers' association
seems to be that the association
stumbled upon a president who
believes in doing business in a
business like way. The fossils
who have been in control have al
ready a very severe shaking up
at the hands of President Mc
Intyre, and it is said that they
have several jolts coming yet.
GOVERNOR VAN SANT
A PARCEL

sworn the governorship and a
seat in the United States senate
and will be quite satisfied, thank
you, with being boss of the re
publican party of the state of
Minnesota.
containing $10,000
has been lost in the mails be
tween Winnipeg and Vancouver.
If found return to this office and
receive reward.
THE lands the state has fought
for are swamp lands alright and
so Minnesota's, and the state
has now several thousands of
acres of additional reasons for
digging drainage ditches.
GOVERNOR VAN SANT by his
refusal to become a candidate for
a third term has raised himself
in the esteem of everybody. Now
if he will announce his resolution
to make good Tais promises of
support to Dunn he will stand
still higher with the people of
Minnesota.

TWO MODES OF HAIRDRES8INGL
Customs of Abyssinian Dandies and
Warriors.
In Abyssinia one method of doing
the hair that is adopted by warriors
is to stroll into the market place, buy
a pound of butter and, putting it upon
the top of the hair, stand still while
the sun arranges things. When the
hair is thus dressed with melted but
ter the Abyssinian knows that fate
cannot (or will not) touch himh is
a picture of well-dressed elegance
done in oils. Another style is to tress
the hair and every tress means some
thing. A young warrior with a head
of hair untressed is of no account he
as not yet killed a man When, how
ever, he has done so all his hair is
shaved off except enough to make one
tress, which is of the same significa
tion as a notch on a pistol stock. Af
ter that every man he kills entitles
him to add another tress, until as a
conquering hero of 100 tresses he Is a
formidable men to try conclusions
with.
ONE PACKAGE HE FORGOT.
Good Story That Is Told on Absent
Minded Farmer.
A story is going the rounds regard
ing a farmer who is greatly troubled
with absent-mindedness. On the way
home from town, as the story runs,
he thought came to him that he had
forgotten something. took out his
notebook, went over every item,
checked it off, and saw that he had
made all the purchases he had intend
ed. As he drove on he could not put
aside the feeling that there was some
thing missing. took out his note
book and checked off every item again,
but still found no mistake. did
this several times, but could not dis
miss the idea that he must have for
gotten something. When he arrived
at home and drove up to the house his
daughter came out to meet him, and,
with a look of surprise, asked: "Why
where is maw?"
A Song of Love.
In the blue morn, the new morn
Beneath a sun-filled sky.
Oh, I mt a little love
When all the clouds were high
A little love, a wistful love
I would not have him stay
I loosed his hands, and kissed his lips.
And bade him fly away.
In the warm noon, the sweet noon.
When all the air waa gold,
Oh, I met a fair, great love.
With merry ayes and bold
So wise, so strong, so wonderful.
Too high for my estate,
He loosed my hands and kissed my lips
And left me desolate.
In the deep night, the cold night,
Who comes through wind and rain
Little love I bade away
Is at my side again.
And he hath warmed my hands in his,
And kissed my wet eyes dry
Oh. strange that he should comfort me
For that great love gone by.
