Hail, Folly!

On a day l met with Folly,
Knowing not 1lrt was she;
She was piquant, she was jolly,
And she thrust out melancholy
With smile of witchery
I, supine, could not disarm her,
Though l guessed in some degree
There was mischief in my charmer.
So it came about, you see,
Folly made fool of me!
Folly tired of her adorer
When her slave ! came to be.
Soothing at the love I bore her,
Vexed because I boldly wore her
Too familiar livery.
Petulant, she scourged and left me
Shorn of all my panoply.
So it was when she bereft me
OF her smile, she set me free
Folly made a man of me!

The Clever Chesterfield.

Horace Walpole says: Lord Ches-
terfeld had early in life announced his
claim to wit, and the women be-
lieved in it. He was so accustomed
to see people laugh at the most trihing
things he said that he would be
disappointed at finding nobody smile
before they knew what he was going
to say" Two OF Lord Chesterfield's
smart sayings may be worth giving
here. One day he was asking George
II about a dispatch which was to be
sent to a foreign monarch. The king
somewhat out of patience, said testi-
ly: Send it to the devil!" "And shall
II" remarked Chesterfield gravely,
address it in the usual form: TO
our faithful and well-beloved
brother?'"
Another time, he was dining at an
inn where the plates and dishes were
very dirty. When Lord Chesterfield
complained, he was told by the wait
er, in an impertinent tone, that every
one must eat peck of dirt before he
dies" "That may be true" remarked
Chesterfield; "but no one is obliged to
eat it all at one meal"

well represented among the indepen-
dent lines and nearly every town and
village of any consequence would be
represented. From Beloit the line will
run to Milwaukee, and from there
north to Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Green
Bay and Marinette. Other companies
are being formed in towns in the
northern part of the state, and these
would be made part of the system
without any difficulty, as it is realized
that the system will be of immense ad
vantage.
The feature of the new system would
be the number of farmers that will
have access to the circuit. In every
instance the independent companies
have large number of farmers on the
local circuit. In the southern part OF
the state the number of farm houses
connected with Independent systems is
growing rapidly and the remainder of
the state is getting the "craze" also.
In Dane. Walworth. Rock and Jeffer-
son counties there are 300 farmers
who have phones belonging to the
Independent systems.

SWEDEs WANT STEAMSHIP LINE

The Swedes are not at all pleased
with the English export duty on coal,
reports Consul Robert Bergh of
Gothenburg. AS Sweden yearly i'm
ports about 100000 tons of coal at a
value of about ST., 1000, the export
duty will cause Sweden an extra ex-
penditure of about $776,664 per year,
of which the city of Gothenburg alone
will have to contribute about $164,S95.
The press and public are turning their
attention more and more to the United
States as a coal-producing country,
and if the Americans avail them
selves of the present sentiment, per-
mament market for American coal
might be established here. But 1t is
necessary in some way TO reduce the
high costs of transportation, a direct
steamship line between this port and
the United States would be beneficial
for the American export trade in gen
eral. Our coal is well liked here, and
American hard coal is considered SUI
perior to the English product.

Matters of Moment From the
Far-off NorthIand
PENSIONS FOR POOR.

Insurance against poverty ON a ma
tional scale is the dream of Baron
Gustaf Raab, formerly an officer of the
Swedish army. He has worked or
his ideal for over thirty years, and
expects to have the plan in operation
within a very few years. 1t is an
immense undertaking, but Baron Raab
is no idle dreamer, and has interested
all of Sweden in his system, which is
Endorsed by the king, many of the in
fiuential people of Sweden and the
larger organizations of working men.
The plan is for a system of pensions
to be paid out of fund, to which the
government will appropriate literally,
but the bulk of which will be raised by
assessments on those likely to become
public charges when they reach an
advanced age. The pensioners win be
divided into three classes: First, des-
titute people over the age of so years;
second, invalids between Is and 60
years; third, dependent orphan chill
dren under Is years. 1t is hoped that
aged people may be paid an annual
pension of 800 kr.
Only the preliminary work has been
done. Only when Baron Raab retired
from the army five years ago was he
able to devote himself wholly to his
cherished work. His first task was
to gather statistics and to arouse a
public interest in his movement In
this he has been signally successful.
Travelling over the country and visit
ing the poor authorities in cities and
in the country districts, he has cor
lected and tabulated a mass of valu-
able statistics. A popular committee
was appointed through a move
ment headed by the big So
cieties of workingmen of Stock
holm and Gothenburg, and participat-
ed in by hundreds of societies and
civil organizations. The work has
now advanced so far that the COM
mittee hopes by next fall to submit
definite proposition to the govern
ment. 1t will be in such shape that
the government can submit it to the
riksdag next year. AS it is likely to
have the undivided support of the peo-
pie, no doubt is expressed regarding
it's adoption.
The fund to be raised will be wholly
under government control. Monthly
assessments airs to be exacted and it
will be the duty of employers to see
that they are paid. If they are not
the employers will be allowed to with
hold the amount from the wages. If
employers neglect this duty the sum
is to be exacted from them.
1t is estimated that the pensions
will amount to about 20,000,000 kr, a
year. of which 100000 will be appro-
priated by the state. Baron Raab is
of the opinion that an assessment of
so to rs ore IA to 81 cents per
month"; will be sufficient to carry out
the great undertaking.

protection and the crowd soon began
to hustle the missionaries along the

unable to cope with the mob. Several

meeting and fed from town, the po-
lice protecting them as they ran for

whose leisure comes in the evening
makes his evening paper part of
the solace of the hour. Almost every
body, at some time or other, receives
in the course of the day some account
OF the movement of the world outside
his own personal experience, coupled
with some doses of instruction as to
the way he should view what is going
on. Sober folk go so far. AS for
the Incorporate, the taste may grow
on them until, if their means afford it
Tor, perhaps, don't afford it,, they
seem to be reading newspapers all
day long. Morning papers, evening
papers, mid-week papers, weekend
papers, magazines containing news
paper articles a little prolonged, at
home, in the club, in the railway car
rage, or tram-car, they are always
reading or talking of what they have
just read.
Such mems lives get newspaperised;
and, if these are examples of excess,
no one escapes little saturation. It
is no wonder that some have sought
to deliver themselves from a habit
leading to possible thraldom, and
have thought they could find protec-
tion in total abstinence. Carlyle
seems to have found some refuge in
this principle, valuing, as he said,
life and time which is the essence of
life; but his greatest admirers, of
whom l claim to be one. must admit
that his example is really warning.
The later years of his life tell a sad
story of slowly-sterilising forces.
which must, indeed, in any case have
waned with passing time, but which
had lost freshness, elasticity, and vital
use sooner than they should have
done, through his isolation.
Total abstinence from newspapers
means insensibility to the movement
of the world. 1t may be pardoned as
a personal weakness but cannot be ap-
proved as a rule of life. 1t will not
even speak of newspapers as q neces-
sary evil. They can become an evil,
and often art so; but me reading of
newspapers is proper part of the life
of the twentieth century; and, if we
are to safeguard ourselves and our
successors against the danger of its
becoming too large part Of life as the
century goes by, we must find our
defense in discovery of the right
limits of newspaper reading-not in
dispensing with is altogether.-Con-
temporary Review.

NO TRADE WITH GREENLAND.

The exports from Denmark TO
Greenland are principally food stuffs,
firearms and ammunition, wooden
goods. implements and tobacco, says
Consular Agent Harris in his recent
report. Greenland exports to Den
mark the hides and skins of animals
Astounding in that region, such as the
bear and seal, and whale and elder
down. About 10000 seal skins are
sent TO Denmark each year. In 1900,
Denmark received $500 skins of the
blue and white arctic fox, which were
assorted and sold in packages of ten
each. The commerce OF Greenland
is monopolized by the Danish govern
ment. The Royal Danish-Greenland
company has nine ships-fve briggs
