How the Diplomatic Gentleman Got Out
of = Bad Scrape.
He was carpet-cleaning man, says
NJ. Quad in the New York World, and
he had solemnly agreed to have every
body's carpet cleaned and sent home by
Tuesday. He sat in his basement Office
on Tuesday afternoon when a woman
entered and CURLY demanded:
"Nell?"
"You are Mrs. Blank, of Second Ave-
nue."

morning"

Mrs. Blank, I'm sorry to be obliged
to inform you that"
"Your wife is dead, or you had fire,
or the machinery broke down? Those
are no excuses, SIR
Certainly not The trouble is that
your carpet got mixed up with one be-
longing to nabob on Fifth Avenue,
and we haven't got it back yet. We
sometimes get these elegant fabrics
mixed up in spite of all we can do"
"Oh. That was it? Went to nabob's,
Ell ?" Well, Mr.. Renoyater, | know
you must be worked and worried almost
to death, and if you get it around to-
morrow it will be all right"

The Monks were speedily disarmed.
"Squatty, come here."
Squatty approached her in fear His
cheeks were pale-his hand trembled
The Monks looked at him curiously.
"Souatty, you can choose now. Will
you keep your promise, or will you take
your chances with the Monks. Choose

"Wait till he does say it," replied
Club, calmly. "IIe only confesses you

"Nobody will believe Squatty."
"When we swear the same thing may
be they will" said Tom BiggerS.
"Now, then, Squatty: look me in the

GJERTSEN HITS BACH.
He Thinks His Critics Are Too
BigOted and Narrow.

dlO ANdEIOMs
Rev. NJ. Falk Gjertsen is not much
cast down by the scoring he has received
at the hands of Lutheran theological
writer. That condemnation of Mr..
Gjertsen for having ''disgraced the
word of God and the Lutheran church."
by taking part in the harvest festival
services along with other denomina-
tional representatives has been pub
liShed. The principal objection urged
to Mr.. GjertSen'S case was that he had
appeared in the same service with a
Jew. The article was published in
Kirkentidende, the official organ of the
Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Syn
cd of America. OF the article Mr.. Gjert-
sen says:
This paper is the organ of so-called
Norwegian synod, from which time and
and again there have been very large
secesSionS, on account of this very eX-
clusiveness and intolerance which is
apparent in this article. They them
selves are not so particular. This is
apparent from the fact that when they
dedicated their new theological semi
nary at Parker'S station there were
present by special request one Presby-
terrain and one COngregationalist, who
delivered addresses on that occasion.
THAT body has held that it was a sin
to pray together with those who are not
Lutherans of their particular color, but,
after having had Presbyterian and a
cOngregationalist help dedicate their
theological seminary, l th)ugVt that the
old bigotry had died out. But this arti-
Gle by one of the very faculty proves
that, though they practice differently
themselves, they claim the privilege to
complain when other Lutherans ignore
their old intolerant principles"
Mr.. Gjertsen is pastor of the United
Norwegian Lutheran church.

sAWMILLS. SHUT DOWN.
Operators Believe That They Have
Broken All Records This Year.

The sawmills are all practically closed
down. One or two will run for few
days yet, but the mills have stopped
work and will rest until the warm spring
sun brings down more logs and allows
the river to resume its natural state. 1t is
impossible to ascertain the exact figures
for the seasons cut as yet, but the lum-
bermen talk as if all records had been
broken. The cut certainly has been en-
ormous. Last year the mills of the H.
G. Akely Lumber company did the
most work, and established a record.
This year the same company again
takes the lead. That company
has cut over 62,0O0,000 feet of
lumber this year, an increase over
the cut of last year of 100000.
In addition they turn out 20, DOC, 900 lalhs
and 100000 shingles. 1t may lie not
ed that this cut of lumber has never be-
fore been eQualed by mill of like ca
pacity except in one instance, that of a
mill in Osceola. Mich, in a contizECVs
run of eight months during one season,
turned out the enormous footing of
10000, 600 feet.
Business has been good with the lum-
bermen, and they are now preparing
for another good year. Their stocks
are about the same as they were at this
time last year. All their hopes are now
centered in heavy fall of snow. With
plenty of snow they intend to have
more longs in the ponds next spring
than were ever seen in Minneapolis.

Preparations for the Biggest

Preparations for the grand interna-

apolis have progressed SO far that there
is 10 longer any doubt as to the success
of the affair. Ten teams have been or
ganized, and all are in active training.
1t will be the biggest athletic event that
ever occurred in Minneapolis. The
time set for the beginning of the tourna-
mtnt is next Wednesday evening at
Washington rink. The tournament will
continue six days anyhow. and may
run longer The tournament that was
put OH in San Francisco was to last six
days, and it was not finished until al
most three weeks had elapsed. This
one will not last that long, but 1t will
never be decided in a week.
The interest attaching to this contest
is increased by the fact that it is con-
test for supremacy between all the ma
tionalities that take any interest in
athletics. Those are the SwedeS. the
Norwegians, the Scotch, the English

They Contemplate Holding a Big
Celebration in a Few Weeks.
Minneapolis Lodge No. A, B. p. o.
E., is preparing for a big celebration
early in December. Then it will initiate
a class of not less than forty members
and will dedicate its new hall on
the corner of First avenue south
and Washington. The hall is the
same that has been occupied by
the lodge since it was first organized
but so many improvements have been
made in it that it can well be called a
new hall. The roof has been raised
three feet. and the walls have been en-
tirely reDapered and the ceiling freS-
coed. 1t is now as handsome lodge
room as can be found anywhere in the
state.
The lodge was organized less than six
years ago. but so rapidly has it grown,
and such is the character of its mem
beTship that it stands we'll to the front
among the lodges of the country. The
dedication Of the new lodge room will
be made the occasion of a celebration of
the prosperity of the lodge Itself
a sort of harvest festival. On that
occasion Elks from all parts of the state
will be in Minneapolis by invitation Of
the Minneapolis lodge. The limitations
will begin in the afternoon. In the
evening there will be banqet and a
social session. 1t will be a memorable
day wi tn the Elks of Minneapolis.

Ietic Climb En- tertainment.

-
Ietic Club En- tertainment.
The new Hennepin Athletic club will
give its initial entertainment next
Thursday evening at the club house,
No. 500 Hennepin avenue. The club
has been very materially strengthened
by good many accessions from the old
Minneapolis Athletic club, whose gym
naSium was closed last week. The men,
bership of the old club included a dozen
or more enthusiastic and expert hand
ball players, who will do much toward
enlivening things at the Hennepin.
During the past week something like
hundred names have been added to the
clubs list OF members. Among these
the entertainment of Thursday evening.
The first of these, the one to be given
Tuesday evening, embraces number
of friendly sparring settos. including
one between Patsy Farrall and Paddy
Harrington. Frank Murphy, the clever
Minneapolis boy who defeated James
Faulkner in the best wrestling match
ever given in Minneapolis, will try
conclusions at Gr&co-ROman wrestling
with James Murphy. Fitzpatrick, the
one-legged bicyclist, will give an ex-
hibition; there will be tug of war be-
tween the American team, which is to
pull at the Washington rink, and the
team representing the members of
Hennepin club. These and other
features have been arranged by Prof.
John Donaldson, the club instructor.
The admission fee is merely nominal, SO
cents.
