MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4.-There's a
curious lack of excitement here over
Norway. Nearly a third of the people
of Minnesota are favored with a
strong strain of Scandinavian blood
There are fully 100000 who were
themselves or whose parents were
born in Sweden and Norway. AS
everyone knows they are of the high
est type of people, who have come
to Uncle Sans shores.
The present governor and two of
his predecessors were of Scandinavia
an ancestry. In the last congress they
had one of the two senator's, Knute
Nelson, and three of nine congress-
men, John Lind. Andrew J. Volstead
and Halvor STEVENSON.
1t might seem natural that there
should be much bitter discussion here
over the secession of Norway.
About all that has happened along
this line has been in the form Of
letters contributed to their local
newspapers by jingoes of both sides,
Nothing has resulted from 1t. In case
of war much more attention would
be given to affairs on the other side.
Recruits by the hundred would prob
ably cross the Atlantic to join the
opposing armies. The general be-
lief, however, is that there will be
no clash.

John Lind holds that opinion.

cerned," he adds, there is no occa-

of Sweden. The union has been a

Rev. NJ. Falk Gjertsen, a leader
among the Norwegians, says: IF
anything, the contention on the other
side has drawn the people here
closer together. They realize the i'm
portance of keeping out strife.

AE1ILURE POLTGAMT.

Polygamy is not always a success in this country, any more than it is in Turkey. Perhaps it ought to be a src- cess in Chicago, but it isn't, according to the experience and testimony of Mir. Stanley sobieszezik of that city. Mir. sobieszezik had a lot of trouble with his polygamy. He was homogeneous for awhile. and then, as a man of honor, he felt obliged to take to himself a sec- ond wife. ''I couldn't get out of mar rying Kate,' he said. "She would have me. I finally married her to keep her from jumping into the lake, MT. So- bieszezik regretted his decision, and thus expressed his regret: 1.-The more women man has the more trouble. They all want money" He tried to be impartial in his attentions, but in the distribution of money he favored his first love; she received $10 a week. and tn the one that spoke passionately of a resting place in the lake he gave $S.50. 1T got a good system worked out" said Mr. Sobieszezlk, but he found "the bus mess of trying to keep two women hap' py all the time" too much for him. It made him nervous.
 MT. Sobieszezki only earned $13.50 8 week, and his distribution of the money doesn't seem. to have been strictly equitable. But on the whole ne did his darndest to make his polygamy suc- cessful. That he did not succeed will be encouraging to those who are trying to stamp out polygamy in this country.

MUST HAVE BIGGER ONES.

Germany intends to be fully up to the naval fashion, and so the talk is that she must have larger battleships. The Russo~Japanese war has shown that, with the help of telescopic sights, it is possible to fire with success at a dis tance of $500 yards or more This is on the assumption that you have the right guns. Guns of the largest calibre are essential. To carry these, and to give them stable platform, large bat tleships are necessary. This is why the English are building the Dreadnaught, of 1S,000 tons, with an armament of twelve twelve-inch guns, the middle artillery being entirely dispensed with. The newest Japanese battleship N is to have a displacement of 19,000 tons and carry four twelve-inch, twelve ten-inch and twelve 4.7-inch guns. With such vessels the new German battleships of the 0 class, with their 13,200 tons dis placement and their armament of four eleven-inch, fourteen 6.7-inch and twen- ty S,46-inch guns, can bear no compar- ison.
 Beyond all doubt Germany must in- crease the displacement and armament of her battleships. The actual building of the largest battIeship is entirely a matter of money. The mere building of the ship does not, however, end the matter. A displacement far in excess of that of existing German battleshfps would entail the enlargement of the en- frances to Germany's harbors and also of her docks. Apart even from this, there is the limit put upon displace- ment by the Baltic and North Seas, in which German ships must be capable of fighting.

4 WONDERFUL CARELu P

If there is Heaven Thomas John
 Barnado, who has just died, seems to
 be entitled to a place in it if good deeds count. When he was a medical student in London he had his compass sion excited by the sad condition of des- titute orphan children and on his own
 personal responsibility he opened a small house in stepney Causeway for the reception of such friendless waifs.
 From this small beginning he develop ed 8 system in which tens of thousands of the offspring of the submerged tenth were rescued from depravity, misery, and crime and converted into useful, reputable, self-respecting citizens,
 Trusting solely to his own meagre re- sources. and to such voluntary sub- scriptions as might come to kiIn, he devoted his spare hours to the inves- tigation of street Arabs, establishing his first home in 1867. Soon he was en- couraged by the success of his trial en- terprise to repeat it, and new centers of refuge were established in different districts, until, at the present time, the Barnardo homes are nearly one hun dred, distributed throughout London, the principal English counties, Jersey and Canada. There are also a number of mission branches. In 1873 he fOund- ed his village for girls at Ilford, in Es- sex. where there are fifty-two cottages
 each with it's family of girls under the supervision and guidance of a moth er,' In the original home on Stepney CauseWay, London, boys are cared for on g. somewhat similar principle. Her Majestys Hospital for Sick Waifs'' was established in 1884, and in 1891, a Young Helpers League" was organiz- ed to help the main work along. From year to year the philanthropic enter prise has grown, and thus far the popu- lar subscriptions have increased almost in equal ratio with the expenses. The

IN LNrERrsrINa TIME AHEAD.

Owing largely to the work Of gooo and energetic women the army canteen is closed, but will it stay closed? Crit icism of the Anti-Canteen law is so sharp and expressed with such unan- fmity in the annual reports from de- partment commanders now being made public by the War department that army officers are becoming encouraged to undertake a new fight for the repeal of this legislation. In this campaign they will try to enlist Secretary Taft, and with his backing they hope to per- suade congress to repeal or amend the law. Secretary Taft, though he has never publicly expressed himself on the Anti-Canteen law one way or the other, is known to sympathize with command ing officers who each year continue to furnish fresh evidence of the bad work ing of the present system. He believes that the commanders of the posts themselves can best testify to the et- feet, and the fact that there is such unanimous complaint from, these conn manders, who have the interests Of the enlisted men at heart, he regards as ample evidence of the failure of the Anti Canteen law. The comment or Brigadier-General Grant, commanding the Department of the East, with head quarters in New York, on the Anti Canteen law was one of the most se- were. Speaking of the many trials by court-martial, General Grant said that fully 75 per cent. were due to the use of bad liquor in dens of vice near milt- tary posts. The general says: These depraved creatures and lewd women use every device in their power to in- duce the soldiers to patronize their brothels, where those who yield to temptation are frequently drugged and robbed. It is distressing that the pros perity of the vile resorts is due to the activity of good and worthy, though misguided, citizens, who have succeed ed in abolishing the canteen of the army"
 The indications are that there will be an interesting time over this matter. It isn't likely that those who have be- lieved the canteen to be an active and efficient agent of the Demon Rum have changed their belief

The Pursuit of Learning.

Vacation days are over, and the school
 days have begun, The children mournfully have left their
 frolic and their fun. They've taken up their school books
 with comprehensive sigh, And they're struggling now with his
 try" and the rules of and y. Life seems to them a burden with such
 loads of things to learn. There's some new task confronting
 them whichever way they turn; When they've studied all their Homer,
 there's their Virgil yet to scan, And they've got to master physics and
 they know they never can. They've taken up geometry, and, mis-
 cry! it's tough! It's even worse than algebra, and that
 was bad enough With all they have to do, life seems a
 rugged hill to climb, And there isn't any leisure left to have
 a real good time. Yes, life is getting serious, without the
 slightest doubt, Their shoulders bend with such a lot of
 things to learn about. Yet we older folks regard them with
 some envy, as a rule, For we'd like to have their privilege of
 studying at school.

TANNING THE BuFFALos-part VIII,

Last week I interrupted my story at the point where we had hitched one of the little buffalo calves to cart, and were driving home behind him. We'll,
 he drew the cart home, distance of two miles, in good style, and the next morning was very anxious to see how the pair of calves would work together when they were asked to pull a load. Unfortunately, the pole for the cart was not vet ready but so eager was I to try the team that I could not wait, particularly as I had thought o@ what seemed a very reasonable plan for accomplishing my object. I yoked the calves together, put on the brides and reins. and tied one end of a AromI rope to the ring of the yoke. The rear end of the cart was then backed up within reach of this rope, the other end of which I tied to the axle. My plan was to have my assistant walk behind, holding up the shafts and steering the cart, while I guided the calves with the reins. But the calves did not fall in with the plan. At the first bump of the wheels upon g stone, the little imps, now weighing nearly three hundred pounds apiece, plunged forward, maddened by the noise, and
 pull as would I soon found l was no match for them, and they simply tore the reins out of my hands. My assist ant was game, and held on to the shafts in spite of my shouts to 'let go,' He stuck to his post until he was jerked off his feet, and not until he had been dragged along the road for more than fifty yards did he obey or- ders. Freed from his weight, the buff faloes increased their speed, and the cart, now having nothing to guide it, shot from one side of the road to the other and back again. Presently it struck 8 clumD of bushes, and turned end over end, and the calves, believing with fright, galloped too fast to give it chance to right itself The seat. split in two, was flung to one side of the road, and the broken shafts flew to the other side, and I fancy there

Writing from Annoy, Consul Ander- son cautions American manufacturers against the mistake of thinking that anything cheap will do for China. "The Chinese know good goods as well as anybody" he writes. '"Thfs is true not only of things to which they are ac- euston1ed, but also of things to which they are not accustomed. It is mis- take, for instance, to send poor canned fruits to China. A consumer buys such goods and, foreigner or Chinese, re- fuses to buy again. China is not dumping ground for the poor goods of any nation. The wise American ex- porter will be content with smaller profits and slower trade in China, based upon goods of standard grades and full vallIe.'
