MARTIN LUTHER'S RING.
former Comes to Light in
Norway.

Martin Luther's historical engage
ment ring has been found, and in the
possession of Norwegian peasant
woman, Sigrid Hansen Aim, in Sender
hordland, in Norway.
How it came TO Norway and when is
unknown, as for centuries the ring has
been an heirloom in the family of all
the women having the name of Sigrid.
Two years ago the German state histori-
cal museum had advertisements insert
ed in continental newspapers. Slowly
the news found its way to Norway and
was read by the Norwegian peasant
woman. The description of the ring
tailed exactly with the ring in posses
sion of the woman, says London pa
per.
Consul Jens Gran, in Bergen, was no.
tilted, and at once offered the woman
800 kroner for the ring, which was re-
fused. This is the description given in
Norwegian papers of the ring found:
at is of silver, considerably worn and
badly scratched. Set in the ring is Il red
pearl, to represent drop of blood OF

Through the German minister to
Sweden md Norway every effort will be
made to induce its present owner to per-
nit it to become the property of the

soup with long-handled spoons, keep
ing up march or walk around the ket-
ties as they do so. When girls spoon
clicks against the spoon of a young
man he is at liberty TO catch and kiss
her. Of course, there are many lively
skirmishes, and great deal of fun in
the game. When the soup is done it is
labeled out into plates and eaten. 1t is
said to be delicious.
The custom owes its origin to COM
pany of Stonewall Jackson's men who
were recruited in that part of the state.
These eX-confeds keep up their or
ganization. They have reunion once
year, at which they celebrate with
grand soup"
1t is said that soup" properly got
ten up should be made of stolen chick
ems, but the veterans had to give up
foraging after the war and make a
compromise by going around in squads
and robbing each others roosts by mu-
tual understanding.-N. Y. Sun.

BOUGHT HIS OWN COFFIN.
A Maine Mnn Thought He would Die
)soon, So He Made Prep
arntfons.

A strange case OF mans premonition
of death has startled the inhabitants OF
the backwood village of Stark. Me.
Jefferson Blais,,ell lived alone zWhis
farm, a few miles from the riT1age. and
his preparations for decth made him
the laughing stock of the community
until he was found dead in his bed.
One pleasant day in the early fall
Blaisdell appeared in the village and
drove directly to the undertaking estab-
lishment of Edward Hilton.
"Hullo, Ed" he shouted, entering the
store, 81 want a coffin"
"AIl right" replied the undertaken;
who's dead?"
"Nobody's dead" replied Blaisdell.
81 want it for myself, and want just a
plain box, with no polish, and no new
tangled schemes"
After little parley the contract for
coffin was drawn up. and Blaisdell ieft
the shop. He next went to the village
sexton.
"IIow much do you charge for dig
cling a gravel" he inquired of the aged
official.
Five dollars in winter, three in sum
mer," replied the latter. But who's
dead?"
"Nobody's dead; I want it for my
self" Blaisdell paid the sexton five
dollars, took a receipted bill and went
home, apparently in happy frame OF
mind.
Late in November Mr.. Hilton began
to think that Blaisdell had given up his
preparations for death, and was about
to consider his bill for storage for the
coffin. when the man with the Fremont
ton came TO his store on his wood sled.
Heinspected the burial box. pronounced
it satisfactory and got Mr.. Hilton to
help him to put it onto the sled, which
also contained some provisions.
Then he seated himself on the top Of
the coffin and drove homeward in a
cheerful mood.
Blaisdell placed his coffin in con-
venient but not conspicuous place in his
home. He lived alone, and the presence
of the casket did not seem to worry
him.
Early in January Blaisdell failed to
appear, and his neighbors, who had
joked in lively manner over his burial
preparations. began to have creeping
fear steal over them. The house was
entered and Blaisdell was found dead
in his bed-not a suicide, but the victim
of that strange sense of certainty of
death which sometimes compels men to
rive IN the ct riipple for life

A HATEFUL RIDE
How Lieut.. Mclaughlin, a Recent
Fever Victim, Prevented n Bat
tie In Porto Rico.

The death of Lieut.. Mclaughlin, of
the signal corps, who died of yellow
fever at Santiago, recalls dramatic in
c;dent, in which he was one of the prin-
cipal actors, during the campaign in
Porto Rico.
Lieut.. Mclaughlin had charge of a
squad which built a telegraph line
along the route of the American adj
vance Oh the night OF August 10. The
signal corps men could not keep pace
with the advance of the infantry and
artillery, in Command of Gen. Brooke,
and when the latter faced line of Span
ish intrenchncnts the telegraph line
was two miles in the rear.
At one o'clock of August 10 the mes
sage came TO Lieut.. McLaughlin's sta
ton that the peace protocol had been
signed. There was no way to get TO
Brooke but ride it, and the lieutenant,
accompanied by an orderly, started to
make the trip. Mounting his horse, he
started at q gallon. and his ride will go
down in history as one of the most dra-
matte ever made oil 4 field of battle.
When he reached the lines of infantry
that were supporting the artillery he
was told that the guns were about to
open fire on the enemy, and, realizing
that he had to be quick or the battle
would begin, and knowing the conse-
auences of such action after the proto-
col, he sank his spurs into the horse
and went on, leaving his orderly, who
was mounted on mule, far in the rear.
Still on he went, and before 1880
O'Clock he reached the artillery bat
talion, and found Gen. Brooke standing
beside one of battery BIS guns, while
the gunner had his hand on the lanyard
ready TO pull.
The message was delivered, the firing
prevented, and what might have been
n terrible battle stopped.
After the campaign closed in Porto
Rico Lieut.. Mclaughlin was sent to
Cuba, and was in service there until his
death.-Philadelphia Press.
