A Story of Bjornsterne Biornson.

~
One day while in Norway an oppor-
tunity was given to me, says a writer
in the Cosmopolitan, to have verified
the statement that the name Of
Bjornson means as much as the Nor
wegian flag. A battalion of Norwegian
and Swedish cavalry, infantry and ar
tillery, between three and four thous-
and strong, were returning from their
maneuvers to their post in Ch%ristiania.
In passing Aulestad, the general in
command sent his adjutant in advance
to beg Bjornson's permission to bring
him an ovation.
With his family and guests assem-
bled about him on the veranda, the
monumental figure stood with barred
head to receive the military greeting.
AS each regiment passed In review be-
low, presenting arms as to their chief
tain, there went up a %deafenlng shout
of personal salutation from each of the
soldiers, who then Joined in singing the
national hymn, to whose author they
were offering this spontaneous salute.
There was the unique spectacle of a
man in private life being accorded a
military, spontaneous demonstration
by the-1mtfon's army which a king
might envy.
The love Of the Norwegians for their
poet and writer has its origin in the
warm heart Of the man himself.
"Bjornson is so close to u.s." said a
Norwegian n day. HE is in all our
hearts, and we feel that his own heart
and arms Ire open to us always. Both
good and great, he would never do any
thing that was not good and noble, and
we must love him." Thus do the hearts
of the people go in the direction of
their Northern Star, their Bjornsterne.,

The Plurality Over t1raeme Ste wart, Re.
publican, 694S.
Chicago. - Carter II. Harrison was
elected Mayor Of Chicago for the
fourth time, his plurality by unofficial
count v Graeme Stewart, the Re
publican candidate, being 694S. The
total vote a Harrison, LAG, 1923;
Stewart, 139,375; Cruice, Independent
Labor, 9999; Breckon, Socialist, 11,212:
Haines, Prohibition, 2848. In the last
Mayoralty election the total vote was:
Harrison, Democrat, 156, 756; Hanecy,
Republican, 128,413; Hoyt. Prohibition.
1928; Collins, Socialist. 1884.
The chief issue in the campaign was
the traction question, both candidates
favoring ultimate municipal ownership
OF h street railways. Stewart advo-
Gated an immediate Improvement of
conditions, making the best terms DOS
sible with the companies. Harrison
recommended a delay until the city had
obtained what it desired from the COM
panies.
The Republicans elected John f.
Smulski for City Attorney by 500
plurality, and Fred G. Bender for City
Clerk by 300; the Democrats elected
Ernest Hummel for City Treasurer by
81 ZOO.
The new City Council will be 35 Re-
publicans, 33 Democrats and one indie
pendent Democrat. The result in one
ward is still in doubt. The old Coun-
Gil was 80 Republicans, 80 Democrats,
one Independent.

A canard means in French a duck;
in English it has come to mean a
hoax or fabricated newspaper story.
Its origin is amusing. About fifty
years ago a French Journalist con-
tributed to the French press an ex-
pertinent of which he declared him.
self to have been the author. Twenty
ducks were placed together and n
of them, having been cut up into very
small pieces, was gluttonously gobbled
up by the other nineteen. Another
bird was then sacrificed for the re-
mainder, and so on, until one duck
was left, which thus contained in it's
inside the other nineteen. This the
journalist ate. The story caught on,
and was copied into all the newspa-
pers of Europe. And thus the "ca-
nard' became Observation-Disclosures
Express.

Doctors Must Be optimists.

The longevity of the medical man is
materially less than that of workers Of
other professions. Only those with a
sound physique, other things being
equal, can win in a struggle for sue
cess. The sick look with confidence
to the well. They demand the hearty
flowing Of animal spirits. They enjoy
the cheerful optimism that comes from
a good digestion. They lean upon the
doctor in their weakness, and yield
willing obedience to his kindly infiu-
ence. Much of the power possessed
for good may be outside of pills or
potions, correct theories or sound de-
ductions.-The Cosmopolitan.

Sir John Cave was in Glasgow in
1907, at a time when the populace had
1t in mind to honor Nelson with a
monument. Sir John attended a pub
lie dinner one evening whereat the
monument came in for a good deal
of discussion, and many opinions were
advanced as to the style Of the in
scription that should grace the stone.
Finally the visitor was asked to ia
vor the company with his views on
this matter.
II think" said Sir John, "that the
style of the inscription should be emf
nently simple and plain. What 1
should put on the monument would be
just the words, Glasgow to Nelson"
II agree with the gentleman" said
an aged Scot, arising, ."but I would
make an addition. We all know that
from the town Of Glasgow to that of
Nelson is six miles, and therefore 1
would afix to the monument, after the
words Glasgow to Nelson, the adden-
dunn, six miles, and then our monu-
ment would serve two purposes

Bank of Nervous Energy.

You have a deposit of energy
placed to your account in the bank Of
your body. It may be large, IN which
happy case you are a millionaire in
strength and accomplishing power. or
it may be SO microscopic as to need

dwindling out altogether.
But many miilionaires become nan
pers, and some ''small savings" swell
into millions. 1t depends upon the way
the capital is managed. You may think
you have SO much that there is no
need to be economical. You get IN
in the morning and feel the blood
bounding through your veins, and Won
think you a turn the mill wheels of
the world.
You work day and night or you plav
day and night-which is sometimes
more exhausting-and go at the Ton Of

o~verdrawing your bank account Of en-
