Lake Andrew, April 10, 1900

Mr.. Editor:
I admire your good sense in being
careful as to the church controversy
at this place. Still sometimes Justice
demands right and I ask tor answer
to the Arctander correspondent of
last week in as much as Mr.. Hatlestad
said at regular meeting, referring to
me, "Let him speak all he Wishes"
I am thankful to Mr.. Hatlestad for
the privilege, and just wish to avail
myself of the opportunity.
The Arctander cor. says that the
church affair has wisely been kept
out of the papers. This is not accord
ing to Hatlestad and his friends &C.
lions at the 5th of March meeting.
That meeting was called purposely for
the selection of those ministers and to
fix the day for the meeting; we, the
Fjelstad friends, did not care. The
committee was selected and the day
set for March IA. We chose to have
private meeting at the parsonage,
only enough present to argue the case
while the opponents stubbOrnly insist
ed on having the meeting public in the
church-as public as it could be; this
was voted upon and carried and they
SOu Ul1luRS UuOAl "6y duu UuCy SOu IL
so public I think that they are sorry
for it themselves after getting crush
ing verdict against them, seven minis
ters being present, representing four
different churches and the church pack
full. Now what wrong was there in
giving a public report of a public
meeting and I believe the Lake An
drew reporter was not much off. He
says the ministers we're under the in
fuence of the pastor. This is to much
OF an insult thrown at the ministers
called here by themselves and intrust-
ed to perform that duty. He states
farther that the members were tired of
wrangling and did not organize the
argument; what was then the object OF
sending to Stoughton, Wis.,, for Rev.
r. H. Dahl and other ministers to
come here to investigates; when they
were tired of wrangling and had no
argument organized? Was it only
to make fun Of tho ministers? Looks
that way. And he says they had no
| one to argue their case; what an argu-
ment! They called the meeting, they
selected the Investigating committee,
they brought in the complaint, and
come to the point they were tired OF
wrangling and had no arguments or
ganized and no one to plead their
case. Jfsuch a complaint was brought
up before Il District Judge and Jury
that had no arguments and none to
plead the case it would have been
dropped. He says 3rdly the minister
was sparingly vindicated. He Ger.
tain1y was yindicated according tC
arguments and they were not orga'
nized by them, he says fourthly the
verdict was evidently a compromise.
There was no appearance Of a COM
promise about it but a straight verdict,
and very creditable to these mer
whose duty it was to do it selected by
the opponents as they were claimed tc
be the majority.
Respectfully
I GABRIEL STENE. .

called 'ticket social" To be sure
tickets were used in disposing Of thu

should be called a ticket social. We

thinking that muddy roads was one
great cause Of the s'ua,l attendance

closed on account of smallpox kept
quite a crowd from town at home and
then, one Of the most influential mem
bers OF the society and in this com
munity, had worked 50 hard in oppos.

great reason for pronouncing this

WANTED TO KICK A MAJOR.
Winston Church1ll's Little Joke on
!. a POmDOus, Self-Opintonated
~ Omcer.

Among the assembled officers at a
recent supper in South Africa was a
very pompous, self-opinionated major,
whose rank commanded for him a re-
spectful hearing, but whose habit of in
structing his brethren in matters mill
tary, both in and out of season, made
him rather unpopular. Winston
Churchill and the major sat side by side
at the table, and the martial poten-
tate voiced his opinions in the usual
manner. Churchill bore the infliction
dumbly for season; then, taking ad-
vantage of pause, when the major
wanted to take a breath, he said, very
complacently and irrelevantly: do
you know, major, met a man this
morning who would gladly forfeit e 50
for the pleasure of kicking you"
Kicking me, sir!" roared the angry
major; kicking me! I must ask you
to mention his name immediately"
But the fact is, major, I am not sure
that I ought to tell you," replied
Churchill, with well-assumed caution.
But insist on knowing his name at
once, sir!" shouted the truculent OFF,
Ger, now red with rage. "WeN, sir. !
suppose must tell you. It was poor
young fellow in the. hospital who has
lost both of his Legs by the bursting of
a shell" 49,.

A NEW MOTOR.
erHy Turned Directly Into Mo-
/ ton by Electricity.

From Germany comes the design of a
remarkable motor that turns heat en-
ergy directly into motion through the
intermediary action of electricity. The
machine is called a thermo-electric mo-
tor. ard works on the familiar principle
of the electric motor somewhat mod
ifiec to meet the peculiar exigencies of
the case. In action it is essentially an
electric motor, but one driving its cleo
trical energy from heat applied to it
through thermo-electric couples. A
therMo-elec,ric couple is composed Of
two dissimilar metals, such as iron and
copper. Any complete circuit made of
two metals must necessarily have two
functions of the two in it.
If one of these functions is heated
more than the other an electric current
will flow in the circuit, it's am cunt and
direction depending on the nature of
the two metals, the difference in tenn
perature between the two functions
and the resistance it encounters in it's
path. On the motor machine the
couples are made of iron and nickel,
ullhly uldZeu toSeLHei. Auey are dr.
ranged like the windings Of the ordi-
mary electric motor, with one set of
functions brought conveniently to the
surface, where gas jets play upon them.
The other set are cooled by rapid cir
culation of air about them, engend cred
by the rotation of the machine. While
the motor is of no practical value, it is
an exceedingly interesting exemplifi-
cation of the ease with which energy
may be transformed and retransformed
through the; various forms of heat, elec-
tricity and motion.

LONG YEARS IN DIPLOMACY
Great Britain Retains Her Foreign
Ministers Until Age Over
takes Them.

Sir Horace Rumbold, British ambas-
sador at Vienna, and Sir Henry Drum
mond Wolff, ambassador at Madrid,
have been retired from the diplom tic
service of England, both having passed
their SEVENTEEN year, two-thirds of
which time they have spent in the dip
lomatic service of their country.
The diplomatic careers of American
representatives at the great capitals of
the world rarely exceed four years.
While Sir Horace Rumbold has been at
Vienna only four years, he has been
con tinuously in the diplomatic service
of his country since 1910. Sir Henry
Drummond Wolff has been at Madrid
since 1892, and since 1916 has spent
much of his life in the foreign service.
Among other veterans of the British
diplomatic service may be mentioned
the following:
Sir Francis Richard Plunkett has
been at Brussels since 1898. In 1876 he
was first secretary of legat ton at Wash
ington. He has been connected with
the foreign office since 1855.
Sir Henry Mortimer Durand entered
the foreign office service in 1874. He
has been in Persia six years.
Edmund Constantine Phipps hasrep-
resented his country at Rio for six
years. His total foreign service has ex-
tended over AZ years.
Sir Henry N. Dering went to Mexico
in 1894. He has done diplomatic work
since 1859.

CHRISTMAS GREEN'S
Decoration OF Evergreens and Flew
ers IL of Pagan Origin.

Deooration OF Evergreens and Flew.
ers IL of Pagan Origin.
The Christmas decorations may have
originated in the saturnalia or in the
old Teutonic practice of hanging the
interior Of dwellings with evergreen
as refuge for sylvan spirits from the
inclemency of the winter, but the
Christmas tree is Of German origin.
It Is their chief ornament and symbol
1t is not used for the hanging of gifts,
but 1t Is used entirely as bright orna-
ment, being made to glisten with
lights and tinsel.
It is kept throughout the IL days of
Christmas and at intervals is lighted
and on New Years eve is lighted for
all night.
The custom Of decorating dwellings
and churches with evergreen was
known by the Christians to be a rem
nanu Of paganism and was forbidden
by the council, but it had too strong q
hold to be given up.
Even in Boston Justice Samuel Sew
all cried out against it, but it crept to
its place by degrees. Holly and ivy
were favorites in Great Britain, being
regarded as sacred emblems Of the
season.
Holly used in churches was kept by
families to insure lucky year.
The mistletoe was held in so much
veneration by the pagans that it was
cut with a golden sickle by the prince
Of the Druids, with whom it first ap.
pears.
The introduction Of flowers to the
tokens Of festivity seems to have ex.
listed universally and at all times OF
history. It was a pagan manifesto.
ton Of rejoicing, and, although forbid
den by the early church and de-
nounced by the Puritans of New Eng
land, it became a general custom.
While obliged to give credit to early
and heather notions for much of the
Christmas which we so fondly cherish
We can but remember our own Ben
jamin Franklin for the one motto as
being American, "a good conscience
is a continual Christmas" -Bostor

Weeds In Stubble Fields.

The thousands of acres of grain
stubble which will lie over unplowed.
awaiting the corn lister in the spring.
will be neglected on some farms. and
wherever 1T is neglected, will produce
weed seed enough to give serious
backset to the war on weeds, even on
an otherwise well-tilled farm. The
number of seeds produced by some of
the stubble weeds is enormous. Es-
Inmates based on partial counts gave
for the cookie bur 9,7OO seeds, or half
that number of burs. Rag weed
showed %, 100, while one of the pig
northumberland the list with
954, 900 seeds. These estimates are
much too large for the average indivi.
duals which grow crowded in tho
helds; yet they show their power
to produce seed. A portion of the
farm left thus each year will make al
most fruitless the most determined
effort to rid the farm of noxious weeds.
1t is advisable to NOW such fields Just
before the weeds so to seed.
Some follow the practice of burning
the stubble in the winter. There are
some objections to this latter method.
First, there will be strips of stubbie
left unburned sufficient to seed down
the entire field; second, the ground
Is unprotected from the sweeping
winds of winter and early spring;
third, the fertilizing element con.
tanned in the stalks will for the most
part be blown off by the winds. On
the other hand, if they be moved, the
held will be free from the seed, ard
the stalks and leaves will remain on
the ground, forming a valuable mulch.
and when rooted, will return to the
ground considerable amount of plant
