Christmas In Denmark.


The tree is always lighted on Christ
mas eve in Denmark, and the family all
meet together then. The older people
get their presents on a plate at their
places at the table, and the children's
gifts are on the tree. Roast goose is al
ways the chief feature Of our Christmas
eve dinner and dish of rice is eaten
on Christmas eve before dinner is serv-
ed. Apple fritters are eaten instead Of
plum pudding. Christmas day itself is
observed strictly as religious festival,
but the day before and the day after
Christmas are holidays The theaters
are open, and the young people give
dances. Our little Danish children do
not know about Santa Claus. They
have instead what they call Nissen,
meaning a Christmas brownie in the
shape Of little old man with large
gray beard who is supposed to live un-
der the ground Another Danish super
stition is that at midnight Christmas
eve the COWS in the stable rise and low
in salutation, and on Christmas eve
young maidens tell their fortunes by
breaking the white of an egg into a
glass Of water and watching the shapes
1t assumes.

Leonard in Duluth.

George B. Leonard's visit t<
Duluth in the capacity of lectu
rer for the socialist labor party,
while in some respects it me-
with rather a stormy reception
on the whole was productive OF
excellent results.
| Friday night he discussed
the Bankruptcy of Populism'
at the Kalamazoo building.
The objection of the socialist
that the peoples party is a
middle class party, to the
average populist, lis a new
|idea-an idea so new that only
time will permit it to soak into
an ordinarily bright mans era
mum, and even then, if a mid
die class man himself, it is LA
bic to 60 astray.
Mr.. Leonard is a clear reas.
oner, not given to pyrotechnlcs
but one whose logic. if followed
with reasonable attention, is
bound to land his hearers on
the right side.
Sunday night he spoke at
Normanna hall on "Modern
Socialism," His audience was
small but very attentive. He
illustrated the disadvantages
of the men with only their
labor to sell; how they were
completely at the mercy of the
men who owned the tools of pro
duction; that bidding against
each other they reduced their
wages to a minimum of sub
sistence; the reduction OF
wages curtai1ed the market for
the products of their labor and,
therefore, in turn, the demand
for their labor. So that the
force which monopoly of op-
portunity once sets in motion
must 60 on without end until
labor had been reduced to the
minimum.
Socialism would put the la
borer in control of the tools of
production, so that machinery
will become a blessing instead
of a curse; child labor will be
abolished, hours curtai1ed; the
laborer assured the full prod
uct of his toll, children guar
anteed the full development of
their natural powers and wo-
men emancipated from the
drudgeries of life and granted
equal opportunities with men,
In short, socialism means for
ala new world.

Columbia. S. c., Sept. 19.-At Dillon.

tised mo games of chance" When they
got there gambling tables were going and
they went in to win and lost Then the
circus people offered to make change.
which was scarce, and in every instance
their take OUT was from one to fourteen
dollars, many of the confiding people put
ting the change in their pockets without
counting.
When the circus train was ready to
move $50 men with drawn pistols swarmed
around it and on the engine, holding it
down. The circus men. also armed were
prepared to fight, but the opposing force
was too strong, and a proposition to set
tie was made. At last accounts the train
was still held and restitution was being
made to the victims one by one.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOV-
cry.
A Positive Cure For Dyspepsia

This may read as though we were put
ting it a little strong because 1t is gen
orally thought by the majority Of peo-
pie that Dyspepsia in it's chronic form
is incurable, or practically so. But we
have long since shown that Dyspepsia
is durable. nor is it such difficult mat
tar as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite extremes
or else deluging the already over-burden-
ed stomach with "bitters." after dinner
pills" etc, which invariably increase the
difficulty even if in some cases they do
give a slight temporary relief Such treat
mont of the stomach simply make mat
ters worse. What the stomach wants is
rest. Now how can the stomach become
rested, recuperated and a the same time
the body nourished and sustained.
This is the great secret and this Is also
the secret of the uniform success of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets This is a
comparatively new remedy, but its sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as to
its merits.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stomach
The sufferer from Dyspepsia according
to directions is to eat an abundance Of
good, wholesome food and use the tablets
before and after each meal and the re-
suit will be that the food will be digested
no matter how bad your dyspepsia may be,
because as before stated, the tablets will
digest the food even if the stomach is
wholly inactive. To Illustrate cur mean
ing plainly, if you take 1900 grains of
meat, eggs or ordinary food and place it
in temperature of SO degrees, and put
with 1t one of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
ii will digest the meat or eggs almost as
perfectly as if the meat was enclosed with
in the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of
digestion and the body and brain will
be properly nourished and at the same
time radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia
will be made because the much abused
stomach will be given, TO some extent.
much needed rest Your druggist will
tell you that of the many remedies ad-
vertised to cure dyspepsia none of them
has given so complete and general sat
isfaction as Stuarrs Dyspepsia Tablets
and not least in Importance in these hard
times is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for the
least money.

Fastening forward they found the pro-
fessor standing by the side of the molder-

decaying fragments lay the petrihed re-
mains of four extinct animals.

the animal to the right nearest the wag-

them was to make a glass; of wine van

and hotels it was often used by the great
magician. Bancroft learned the trick
and the other day, while dining a a west

wine to his lips he jerked the contents of
the goblet high in the air, and it SEEM

lodged to avoid the impending shower of

glass to his lips again and slipped the wine.

TOOK THEIR CUE FROM TELLER.

COIOradO's Silver Republicans Want
Middle of the Road Man.
Denver, Col, Sept. 19.-The silver repub-
lican convention of Mineral county has
adopted resolutions refusing to ratify the
nomination of Judge Hayt, for justice of
the supreme court, by the republican state
convention, because he accepted the noml-
nation of the administration republicans.
1t is expected the other county conven-
lions will follow suit taking their cue
from Senator Teller, who has declared
that he would not make a speech in sup
port of Hayt during the campaign.
