A Unknown lieutenant colonel
on the general staff, Mr.. Morgin-
bjerne, who has been closely con-
nected with the Norwegian court,
has lately written public letter to
his Swedish comrades. He finishes
up with the following words, which
every Norwegian will indorse and
make his own: Think of us what
you like, but do not believe that we
are so stupid as to under any cir
cumstances, attack Sweden. But in
in case We are being attacked, we
shall defend ourselves as long as
there is a man in Norway capable of
carrying arms, and as there is a
silver spoon left that may be turned
into money"
Joseph Garron, of Chicago,
returned home intoxicated last week
and his wife told him to jump into
the lake and drown himself. "All
right" said Mr.. Garron. IL will do
just that" He did, and although
he was alive when taken from the
water he died in the hospital two
hours later. In the pocket of his
coat the coroner found this note:
This is to certify that my wife
Maggie Garron told me to leave the
house and 60 to the lake and drown
myself. Goodbye and God forgive
her." Mrs. Garron became hysteri-
cal when informed of her husbands
act and hurried to the hospital, but
she arrived few minutes after his
death. II was only joking" she
said, as she knelt at the side of the
bed where lay the body of her hus-
band. II never thought he would
take my words seriously"
The flags of japan and Russia are
not flying above the Hotel Went
worth at Portsmouth. They were
ordered down by Mr.. Peirce, the
third assistant secretary Of state.
The hotel people, thinking to com
phment the Russian and Japanese
ENJOYS, bought large flags and |
noisted them over the hotel, the
Japanese flag over the main part
md Russian flag over the annex, in
which the Russians are quartered.
The result was that to every one
coming to the hotel from Portsmouth
he Japanese flag was the only one
'isible, as the major portion of the
lotel is on hilltop and the annex
IN slope down the other side.
Word came also that the Japenese
md Russian flags from the sea side
II the hotel and out at sea seem to
% on one staff, the Japanese flag
Ibove the Russian. The Russians
loted all these things as they noted
he overwhelming sentiment in favor
i Japan, evidenced by the applause
given the ENJOYS when they came
lere and when they left the next !
lay. They sent an undersecretary |
Q Mr.. Peirce to call his attention to
he flags. Mr.. Peirce took a look,
md the flags did not 60 up the next
lay. Another reason for complaint
vas that Yankee porter, in raising
he Russian flag, hoisted II upside
Town, much TO the disgust Of the
Russians.
