We went twenty-five miles from
Copenhagen to Helsing borg, or Elsenore,

castle where Hamlet played and where
the ghost walked. There is also a place
nearby which is said to be Hamlet's

as a barracks for soldiers. AS I gazed

AN INTERURBAN LINE.

the present time. The intention OF the
New York people who are financing
this proposition is to build modern

line electric motor cars will be used for
the passenger business. There will be
passenger trains between Topeka and
Council Grove, which will make stops
at all the stations and between these
trains. there will be interurban cars
running between Topeka and Eskridge.
This matter has all been carefully
gone over and a perfect time table has
been incorporated in the report and
the only thing now that is standing in
the way of work beginning at once is
the acceptance of the proposition by
the old company, and the decision as
to which way the line will run, via Au-
burn or via Dover.
LAS far as business is concerned
there will be about as much business
tributary to this line from one place as
the other. so whichever route offers
the largest bonus and offers it first,

lily passed at Ellis island he eloped
with the eldest daughter and disap-

the case, undertook to find federal
judge who could stay the summary de-
portation proceedings, q local society
having indicated its Willingness to
give bonds guaranteeing that Mrs.
Feirstein would not become a public

Copenhagen, July Ii, 1906.
Denmark is a little peninsula with
lot of islands around it. sticking up
from the north of Germany into the
North sea. But for over a thousand
years. from the time the Danes and
their Morse Kindred used to go to Eng
land and lick our Saxon ancestors, the
name has been on the map and the
country has preserved its independence.
From the time it began to have any
authentic history up to NapoIeon's
shakeup of Europe from about 400 to
1900 Denmark and Norway had the
same king or the same row over who
should be king, but Denmark was the
senior partner of the firm and neither
country gave up independence. At the
end of the Napoleonic wars Sweden and
Norway were joined together. which
they had not been for three centuries
and Denmark became one of the little
but prosperous nations of the world. I
suppose it is about one-fifth as large
as the state OF Kansas and has lot
of poor soil, but it supplies England
with fresh country butter and eggs,
raises a good grade of cattle and has
a seaport which does a lot of business
with the countries Of northern Eur
oOe.
