A Magnificent Birthday Party

In the evening of last Friday, July l.,
a selected company of our Norwegian
citizens met at the beautiful home of
Mr.. and Mrs. L. f. Egge for a social
gathering of the Norske Selskab, as the
invitations read. But some of the
guests happened to know hat it was
Mr.. Egge's 53 birthday and they took
measures to make that event an appar-
ant feature of the entertainment.
At Z o'clock the party sat down to an
elaborate dinner to which all did
justice. Then Judge Lund, acting as
POSTMASTER, called the attention OF the
guests to the events which we were
gathered to commemorate, and alluded
in a humoristic way to the society
which Mr.. Egge had taken a prominent
part in organizing, and whose members
were now present in force.
The following named gentlemen
responded to toasts as their names were
called: Rev. Hafstad, Jno. ~Lienlokken,
DR.. Kjerland and Mr.. Frank Anderson.
AS the party rose from the table an
easy chair was struggled into the
parlor, where upon Mr.. Martin Wist,
president of the society, in fitting words
presented the same to the host with the
compliments of the company. Mr.
Egge responded at sone length and
apparent feeling, thanking for the
present and for the sentiment accom-
panying the same.
Mrs. Frank Anderson and Mr..
Evaneer were present to assist Mrs.
and Miss Egge and to take part in the
musical program that followed the
repast. 1t was not a formal set pro-
gram but a jolly entertainment OF
music, song and conversation. A good
time to be long remembered by every
body present.

The South and the Negro

Clark Howell in Golfers: The
South can be, and is, both fair
end just to the negro, and the only
thing that stands in the way OF
establishment of entirely peaceful
and friendly relations between the
TWO races is the friction that is
engendered by the use to which
the Republicans are putting the
negro for selfish, partisan ends,
poisoning him against his real
bost friends and making it the
more difficult for the white people
of the South to do for him what
they would in elevating the race
to the plans of good citizenship
if left to work out the problem
without being constantly beset by
the firebrands of sectional misrep-
resentation and racial antagonism.
At no time since tie days of Re-
construction has the tension be-
tween the races in the South been
so marked as now, and 1t is the
more remarkable in that this con-
dition Immediately follows an era
of unprecedented harmony in the
relations between the whites and
the blacks.
For this deplorable development
no one is more responsible than
Presil ent Roosevelt; and for the
long period of amicable and
friendly feeling preceding his ad-
ministration the country at large
will never know what it owes to
ex-President Cleveland and Il e la
mented Mckinley. Cleveland
proved that a Democratic Presi-
dent could be, and would be, just
and fair to the negro AS IA citizen,
and it remained for Mckinley to
establish the fact that even where
political exigency demanded that
the negro be awarded Office 1t
could be done in a way that left
no sting. The people Of the
South were convinced that it was
neither McKinley's desire nor
pleasure to ride roughshod over
their inbred sensibiities or their
domestic traditions.

TREATING A. T00THACHE.
How the TantaIizing Pains May BE
Speedily Allaycd.

Toothache is a little thing in the
books, but many physicians would
rather meet a burglar at the door on
dark night than a call to cure a
bad toothachc OF several days con-
tinuance. \ hypodcrmic OF NOR
phine only postpones the evil day,
and usually the patient Is respect
fully referred to the dentist. The
tooth should not be extracted while
the jaw and gums are inilamcd and
the latter swollen, and is the ply
sician's duty TO treat the case until
the above conditions are removed.
Always keep a small vial containing
the following mixture: Chloroform,
git. x; glycerin, git. X; sat. sol. ae.
carbol., git. X; morphine, gr. j.,
with small wad of absorbent cot
ton. If the offending tooth has a
cavity or decayed surface, saturate
small pellet of cotton with the
above mixture and put into the cavi-
ty or against the dccayed surface, as
the case may be. Never pack this
cotton in or the more is the trouble,
but have the pellet small enough to
enter without crowding. In most
cases this will end the trouble. When
the gums are swollen and tender,
paint two or three times, two min
utes apart, with q 4 per cent solu-
ton of cocaine. The patient may
have been eating a good deal OF
fruit, The tongue and mucous mem
brane of the mouth are pale-sOur
stomach-and next day the tooth
ache will return.
Give ten grains Of subcarbonate
of bismuth and ten grains of phe-
nacetin at once and a similar dose
before each Of the three following
meals, with laxative, if needed, and
stop all fruit for a few days, and II
will not return. The same powder
every two hours with cessation OF
fruit eating will stop the persistent
tormenting neuralgias.- EXchange.

VALUE OF ONE VOTE
Governments Policy Dependent
on One Ballot.

About this time one may cxpec t
to see many important disserta-
tions on the Importance of a single
vote, says an exchange. The
statement that Marcus Morton de-
feated Edward Everett for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts by d single
vote in u total poll of 100, 622 az
pears in newspapers in every po-
litical campaign. A very good
one vote story, attributed to the
late Tom Corwin, United States
Senator from Ohio, about al elect
ion in Rhode Island, and recalled
by the st. Louis Republic, may
not be familiar to the reader.
"In the sprng of 1912 at the an
nual election in Rhode Island
there was town precinct closely
contested by the Federal and Re-
publican (the peace and war;
parties. A Federal farmer, hur-
rying down to vote just before
closing time, was stopped on the
way by finding one of his valuable
pigs caught in fence. He tried
to pull the pig out and failed.
Then with some difficulty he pried
away one OF the planks, released
the pig and started on run for
the polling place. Just az he got
within 100 feet OF it the town
clock struck 8. The polls closed
without his vote.
"When the General Assembly
met a few weeks afterward a war
Senator was chosen by one ma
jority on Joint ballot. In 1919
the declaration of war with Eng
land was carried in the Congress
by one vote. General jackson
was nominated az a Major General
and confirmed by one vote. He
commanded the army at the bat
tie Of New Orleans, won a great
victory, became popular military
hero, was elected and reelected
President, turned all the Wings
out OF office, removed all the de-
posits from national banks and
played havoc generally, and all
because that pig away up in Rhode
Island got fast in a plank fence. y

Thev "Wanted to Know"

A jeweler in a railroad town kept
a large clock in his establishment
a "regulator"-for the benefit OF
the many employees of the roads,
and he took much pains to see that
it was always correct. This, howev.
er, did not prevent the frequent
question:
Say, is that clock right"
firing of this at last, he caused
to be printed in large letters the
word "Ycs," and this he pasted
across the front of the clock as con-
spicuously as possible without hid:
ing the dial But there was where
his real trouble began, Every man
and boy who came and some OF the
women asked him what that Eyes
meant. In desperation one day, aft
er explaining to nineteen persons
within an hour what that "l es
meant, he called his shop boy and
said:
