II message to the Old land.

4 )HERE the pines in silent grandeur
w Ceaseless, patient bivouac keep;
Where the Midnight Sun his splendor
Sheds upon the Baltic's deep;
Where the lofty, rugged mountains
Giant-like and guarding stand,
Atwhose feet the crystal fountains
!Gush upon the silvery sand.
Where grim Vikings once in CORY
Battle made the wales resound;
Where fierce Berserks fought for glory,
And st. Olaf Conta found.
Where the doughty champions fought in
Holmgang on the frowning shore;
Where old bards their music wrought in
Skalde-song and Saga-lore.
Where the armed and mail-clad horsemen
Conquered rovers from the sea:
Where, with Russ and Slav, the Norsemer
Boldly fought for liberty.
Where Aurora BOrealis
Glimmers in the wintery night,
Silvering the narrow valleys,
Mantlng hills in pearly white.
There, where tolls the sturdy peasant,
In his suit of hOmespun gray;
There. where all was once so pleasant,
Dire disquiet reigns today.
Norway seeks for independence
From Old Svea, brotherland.
Freedoms star is in ascendance,
Decking with alluring hand.
Norway's reused to righteous struggle,
Pent-up freedoms love finds vent.
Even monarchs cannot juggle
With a peoples sentiment.
Clear. throughout the land the message
Flies from hut's to mansions door,
Bearing magic on its passage:
Independence evermore!"
X x
We, your sons across the ocean,
Offer you, dear mOtherland,
Not alone our deep devotion
But, if need be, too our hand.
Should you need some stalwart fellows
In your cause to strike blow,
All you need do is to tell u.s.
To respond We'll not be slow.

Last week we published an
editorial on plagiarism in which
we mentioned few ideas upon
this subject. Since this article
appeared we have been repeatedly
questioned in regard to it. In
fact one man candidly confessed
that it referred to him and prompt
ly sent in his name and register
number. AS we have never pub
lished any article by this writer"
of course we we're compelled to
refuse his request. The fact that
he may have sent an article in and
we refused to publish said MS,
is no sign we considered the arti-
Gle to have been stolen. It may
have contained other objectional
features which made it's refusal
absolutely imperative. Worthy
contributions are always given
careful consideration. We wish
to say that last weeks article had
reference to no one; but as one
or two writer's were under sus-
picion, we concluded that few
remarks, merely as precautionary
warning, might prove very timely.
Some one has played joke on
The MIRROR typos during the
recent hot spell. While the wealth
er man was doing his BEST to keep
things boiling, some chap turned
on the steam and then fixed the
thermometer. We noticed that
the typos we're getting limp and
listless, but thought it was due to
the humid atmosphere. The fol-
lowing day things began to get
desperate when "Bill Nye Jr."
said his head felt itchy and by
nine O'Clock three of them re-
sponded to sick call. No doubt
the type would have been melted
later on if our printers devil had
not made a few timely observa-
tions and deductions, and as a re-
suit placed his hand on the danger
zone. The steam pipe was red.hot.
It is suspected that the plumber,
who has been taking fish from the
intake pipe, knows something
about it. If he doesn't fix this pipe
we will have something to say
next week about that gray mare
, that disappeared down in Kansas
} a few years ago.

London, Aug. 9.-From an authentic
source it is reported that owing to
lack of transportation and storage fa-
cilities in Russia, the grain shipping
situation is in a precarous condition.
This spring transportation at ST. Pc
tersburg was blocked. At all times
tens of thousands of cars were at a
standstill. Recently a large number
of cars were received at ST. Peters
burg in a fermented condition and
We're condemned to be burned. This
blockade not only affects the grain
now in storage and in transportation,
whereby thousands of car loads will
be lost, but the safety of the present
crop is also jeopardized, as the outlook
at present is that the way cannot be
cleared to handle the new crop.

FIRE SWEEPS WATER FRONT.
Half . Million Dollars Damage From
Flames at Hoboken, N. J.


New York, Aug 9.-Inside of three
quarters of an hour late last night fire
swept away the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western Railroad company's
terminal in Hoboken. seized two ferry
boats and practically ruined them,
and for half an hour threatened the
destruction of the entire water front
in the vicinity, including the Ham
burg-American and North German
Lloyd steamship docks at which sew
eral big ships were lying. So far as
known no lives were lost. Tor over
an hour huge tongues of flame leaped
from the wooden structures on the
Lackawanna docks, lighting the New
Jersey water fronts. For time it
threatened loss larger than that of
the big dock fire of several years ago
when the North German Lloyd piers
were destroyed with great loss of
life. Blazing ferryboats. cut from
their docks, floated in the river, wan
dering freships which for time en-
dangered shipping in the river. At
o'clock this morning the fire was un-
der control. The big steamship piers
had been saved and rough estimate
placed the damage at between $4O0-
600 and 100000. The flames started
from an unknown cause on the old
wooden ferryboat Hepatcong, which
had been tied up in the open slip be-
tween the Hamburg docks and the
CLr.stOp!.Cr street forry slips.

A Possible State Fair Attraction.

ST. Paul Aug. eff present plans
go through it is probable that an inter
esting and unique feature will be add
ed to the attractions of the Minnesota
state fair this year This will consist
of a race between the horses of the
| ben Hur' production. coming to the
Metropolitan opera house, and the
horses of "In Old Kentucky" coming
to the Grand
The project started as the result of
long-standing rivalry between Charles
F. TOwle, manager Of ben Hur." and
A. w. Dingwall manager of I'm Old
Kentucky" each of whom has long
claimed to have the best horses on
the stage in their respective produc-
tions. The Ben Hur' horses are
thoroughbred runners that have been
broken to break into a gallop the mo-
ment they start in the chariot race
The "In Old Kentucky" horses are
pure runners, broken exclusively to
the saddle. Often the two managers
spoke of the possibility of matching
the horses in race.
The two plays being in the Twin
Cities this year at the same time
and the state fair being in progress
during the week, it was thought a
good plan to pull off the long deferred
race. At present the only dispute is
as to whether the "In Old Kentucky
shall race in chariots, or the Ben
Hur" horses race under the saddle
but this point will undoubtedly be
amicsbly settled. All the horses may
be matched in free-fOr-all race
eight of the Ben Hur" horses to be
driven to the chariots.
