recent election to the high office of
United States senator caps the climax
of a political career almost unprece-
denied in it's success.
Sturdy, thrifty and loyal, with men,
tai and physical capabilities that en-
able them to adapt themselves to any
line of useful work. the United States
has no better citizens than those who
come from the land of the Vikings, and
Senator-elect Nelson is one of these.
During his public career he has made
reputation as a conscientious and COM
nonsense politician, and his influence
Is especially great among his own
countrymen In the northwest.
In the contest for the United States
senatorship he was opposed by one of
the most public men of the present day,
and had arrayed against him almost
the solid business interests of the state.
Notwithstanding these discouraging
prospects, he entered the contest at a
time when 1t was declared that he
could not be a candidate, and eventual
ly won by almost two thirds of the en-
tire membership of both houses. He
will serve six years.

Colonel and Assistant Judge Advocate
General. His final promotion to the
highest grade in his corps makes no
change in his duties, as he has been at

however, a recognition of the ability
with which he has discharged the du-

responsibilities of department chief

QUEEN LOUISE ILL.
"Mother-in-Law of the Half OF Europe"
Seriously Sick.


Seriously Sick.
Queen Louise of Denmark is reported
to be very i'll, and as she is " years Oh
age, it is feared that she will not have
sufficient strength to rally from the
attack.
Up to very short time ago the
queen retained almost youthful vigor
which was particularly commented
upon at TIE time of the celebra, ion OF
her golden wedding, in 1892 and also
when she attended the wedding of heI
grandson, the duke of York.
Queen Louise has been called the
''mother-in-law of half Europe" sc
fortunate has she been in marrying of
her large family. Her wonderful gift
of diplomacy is clearly illustrated in
the successful marriage of her eldest
daughter, Alexandra, to the prince OF
Wales; her second daughter, Dagmar.
to the late czar; her third daughter, to
the Duke of Cumberland. Her eldest
son is husband of the Princess Louise
OF Sweden; her second, Kiny George
l., of Greece; and third is welded to
an heiress of the French house of Or
leans.
She commenced life as the daughter
of the poor Landgrave of Hesse Cassel;
and married in 1912, Christian, an
equally poverty stricken petty prince
of Germany. 1t was ten years later
that an international cong ress held in
London by the great powers, unex-

How These Commendable Aids 60 Matrf-
mony should Re Conducted.
"Spooning" parties are popular in
some quarters They take their name
from a good old English word which
was intended to ridicule the alleged fam
tastic actions of young man or young
woman who is in love. For some reason,
which no one ever could explain, every
body poles fun at the lover. In fact,
that unhappy character is never heroic
in real life, no matter what great gobs
of heroism are piled about him on the
stage, and III all the romantic story
books. The girl in love and the boy in
love are said to be "spoony.
When "spooning' party is given,
the committee in charge of the event re-
ceives spoon from each person who at
tends, or else presents each guest with
spoon. These spoons are fancifully
dressed in male and female attire, and
are mated either by the similarity of
costume or by distinguishing ribbon.
The girls and boys whose spoons are
mates are expected to take care of each
other during the continuance of the So
cial gathering
OF course the distribution Of the spoons
is made with the greatest possible care
fulness, the aim being to SO place them
as to properly fit the case of the young
people to whom they are presented. The
parties are usually given by the young
people of some neighborhood where the
personal preference of each spoony is
well known, and they are the source of
no end of fun. 1t is possible also that
they serve as aids to matrimony as well,
and are therefore commendable, since
an avowal is made more easy to diff
dent swain after he feels that his pas
sion is not a secret, but that his weak
ness for "spoony" maiden is known to
his friends and enemies ON the commit
tee which dispenses the spoons. 1t may
be mentioned that after the spoons have
been distributed among the guests, each
couple retires for consultation regarding
the reasons which caused the award of
mated spoons in their case. This consul
