HOW WE MISSED IT.

Rev. NJ. ". Montgomery, who has re-
turned from Norway and Sweden, was
very much disguised in Stockholm on
the gloomy Fourth of July, when he
called on the American minister, Mr..
Thomas, to find that that functionary
had betaken himself to the country and
had not even hoisted a flag wei his
residence. This news is particularly
painful to Minneapolitans, from the
fact that Mr.. Thomas is a Maineite who
beat Will e. Haskell for the Swedish
mission. Just think what an ebullition
of patriotism would have blown
itself, literally blown Itself, at the
American minister's residence if that
eminent statesman and editor had been
in command instead of a Maineite. 1t
is somewhat doubtful whether Senator
Washburn will get the Scandinavian
vote after this mistake on the Swedish
mission.

the glorious sunrise of a new, day, Love
comes to the youthful heart, only to be blasted
and destroyed by the thunderous roaring and

and crushed, the bleeding soul seeks peace in
q life of pastoral repose. Here. still yearning
for the unattainable, he hears from afar the
trumpet's blast of war, and, caring not who
the enemy may be, he rushes into the thick

face to face with his true self-Conscience.

He Questions Certain Statements
Made by Guile.
Police Commissioner Giertsen was in
terviewed yesterday regarding the
rather enthusiastic statements made
concerning him by Commissioner Guile.
He says he read the communica-
ton in the Star, and also the
emarks attributed to Mr.. Guile in
Sundays GLOBE. MI. Giertsen said:
II regret that Guile should use the Ian
guage ascribed to him, because if he has
made such statements he is clearly in
error in every particular. First, he
from me. That is is his first mistake in
that the Star will bear me out. Mr.. Guile
is reported as saying the commission
has had nothing to do with obtaining a
lot for the police station. That is Mr..
Guile's second erroneous statement.
The commission decided last May that a
lot was needed. and proceeded to OBJ
tain offers of suitnble property and
prices on same. Various offers from
real estate men were placed before the
commission, and among them two
prices on the lot in question.
one real estate man wanted $1,000, and
another offered the some lot for S2,475,
during the first part of the month. I
was Informed that this lot was bought,
and the chairman of the council COM
mittee on police stated to me that the
only offer placed before his committee
On the lot in question was $4,000 and
that was the price paid. If the agent
who sold the lot was Guile's
friend or not | do not know.
The Star article signed tx" was APP
mission. of which I have not heard that
Mr.. Guile is either president or secre-
tary, so why should he take Dol him
self to answer the inquiry if he is not
the whole commission?
