G. w. Hansen and Niels Nielsen
returned from their trip to the M. w.

the pleasant features of the journey
was sail from Chicago to Milwau-

hugely. They also took in the sights
OF White City in Chicago while gone.
And don't forget Elk Horns big
celebration. From the boom of the
first gun to the whiz of the last pin

The Classes In England.

In England the upper class CANDLES,
but does not drink; the middle class
drinks. but does not gamble, and the
lower class both drinks and CANDLES.
1t is characteristic circumstance that
the upper class makes laws to prevent
the lower class from gambling and that
the lower class is in favor of legisla-
ton to prevent the upper class from
drinking
