WOLVES IN NORWAY.
Rayenous Animals That Make Raids Up
on the Outlying settlements.

Rsvenous Animals That Make Raids Up
on the Outlying settlements.
During the last two or three years
wolves have without doubt increased
considerably in Norway. Not only
have they committed a good deal of
damage among domestic animals, but
in some cases the elk have been so per-
secuted by them as to be obliged
to take refuge among the haunts
OF men. Last winter, in the Selbo
district, near Trondhjem, the re-
mains of several elks were found in the
forest with the tracks of the blood
thirsty brutes showing plentifully in
the o all around, while many more
of the big deer must undoubtedly have
fallen victims to their ravenous appe
tites. Two men driving a sleigh with
%sleepers for the railway came across a
big elk in sore plight; three of tie
pack which had attacked him lay
around dead or dying, pierced with his
great antlers, while he himself could
barely stand. Needless to say, the
worthy peasants made the most of the
occasion; they killed the unhappy bull
and they claimed and received the gov
eminent reward Tor each of the wolves.
Only, however, when they are in
drOves will wolves attack the larger
animals. At first they try to stalk
their intended victim. and then, spring.
ing upon it with long bounds, they en-
deavor to pull it down; failing in this,
they proceed to hunt it in the most
methOdical manner, two or three fol-
lowing the quarry closely, the others
endeavoring to cut off its retreat by
lying in wait and bounding at it's
throat. In spring and summer wolves
are rarely seen, as they keep for the
most part at the solitude of the wood
lands. but in severe cold and stormy
weather they collect together in packs
and descend to the more open and in
habited tracts of the country.
While herding his reindeer during
the long winter in the far north the
Laplander must be on his guard
against marauding wolves. Frequent
ly for weeks together there is no sign
of the commo enemy; then, without
warning, the cry of the watcher rings
out over the snow: "The wolves are
afoot.' And, however binding the
snow, however dark the night, all the
inhabitants of the camp rush forth to
defend the animals, which to them rep
resent wealth, clothing, food, existence
itself. In such Il melee the small, wiry
dogs, of which the Laps always keep a
number, perform an important part,
barking and swapping at their big op-
ponents in the most plucky way, and
distracting their attention generally
until the arrival of their owners upor
the scene.-Pall Mall Gazette.

the creatures of law, and they must not be per-
mitted to pass from under the control Of the
power which created them; they are permitted

public veal, and they must not be allowed to
Use their DOMcrS for The public injury.

The socialism of the world saws
"What is yours is mine" The social
ism Of Christ says: What is mine is
yours" Not that we actually divide
everything up. That would do more
harm than good. Inequality would
come again over night, just al the
level snow is blown into drifts by a
violent wind. But the Christian holds
his intellect, his talent, his resources,
and hat he has, as a trust from AL
mighty God, to administer it in the in
terest of others, using of it all only
what is actually needed for his health
and development.-Rev. Edward judi

country those who come with love for our in

fered in the military and naval service of the

The Producers of Wealth.

Labor creates capital. Until wealth IS pro-
duced by the application of brain and muscle
to tie resources Of this country. there Is nOth-
ing to divide among the nol-projuciEg classes
If society. Since the producers OF wealth
defend the nations flag in time OF peril. their
interests ought ct all times to be con-
Sidercd by those who stand in OIL
cial position. The democratic party has
ever found it's voting strength among those
who are proud to be known as the common
people, and it pledges itself to propose and
enact such legislation as is necessary to pro-
tect the masses in the free'exercise Of every
political right. and in the enjoyment Of their
Just share of the rewards of their labor.

There is more than French Revolu-

to keep huge bank accounts in Europe,

Senator Davis on Record.

Following IS an extract of I. speech
delivered by Senator Cushman K. Davis
at Crockston. Mimi, on Oct. Is, 1890
every word of which The Herald endors-
es. Senator Davis said:
"Now, fellow citizens, to business mat
tiers. The last congress probably passed
more important legislation than any con-
gress since the year 1892, except the con-
gress during which we began the war.
We passed the silver bill. That great
fundamentally of finance, that right
arm Of every monetary system which had
existed in efficacy through all the ages
since before the time when Abraham
paid 800 shekels of silver for the cave
IN which to bury his dead, that great
function Of civilization was restored and
made legal tender, and from the moment
it was poured into the veins OF circula-
ton, prices increased, universal sense
Of prosperity was felt, and the country
began to move forward upon career Of
prosperity which assure you, nv fellow
citizens, we do not begin to appreciate,
even in its beginning. We raised it from
it's discredited and disturbed condition.,
and we gave it as money the pm chasing
power Of gold. The price of silver be-
fore the bill was passed was 80 cents,
and 100 after the bill was passed, the
nominal price being 1919. And what fol-
lowed immediately upon the passage of
the bill? Prices rose throughout the
country on the cereals, on corn and bar
ley. That work for the farmer was done
by the Republican party. I tell you gen.
tlemen, that the passage of the silver
bill was ten thousand times more benefi-
cial to the people in Minnesota and the
Union than any tariff bill your reformers
could possibly devise.''
Today Senator Davis is advocating
the maintenance OF the single gold stand
ard. He voted to repeal the law which
he praised so highly in his Crookston
speech, and he is now opposing the res
toration of bimetallism, which would
give silver the purchasing power of gold
and raise the prices of the farmers pro-
ducts and bring prosperity to all the peo-
ple.-Duluth Herald.
