No Trouble to Get Rights of

The promoters of the interurban

Use of assistance from capitalists who
are anxious to invest in interurban
roads, which are now recognized as
among the best and safest invest
ments possible TO make. and in addi.
tion they are receiving word from
many property owners in the terrific
ry likely to be traversed, that they
will freely give whatever land is nee
essary.
Yesterday one man telephoned
that he would give right of way over
100 acres of land he owns, and it is
probable others will prove just as
willing.
The line will not go near Smith
land. The latter territory is good for
a road of this description, but it is
said the project would be too expen-
sive, owing TO the topography of the
country.
Nothing has been heard of late
about the proposed interurban from

that there is nothing new about ii.

kAlsER's DIGNITY WAS HURT.
Offended by Shoes of One Of His Con

The enthusiasm of the good Norwe-
gians for Queen Alexandra is the
more remarkable as, in the matter of
crowned heads, they have some ex-
cuse for affecting to be blase.
The German emperor, of course, is
a regular %frequenter of the fjords, but
he allows no liberties to be taken
with his sacred person. On n occa-
sion when the Hohenzollern anchored
off a little town, the German consular
agent, as in duty bound, went aboard
to pay his respects; but, not being
possessed of a uniform, it did not ap-
pear to him necessary to appear at
midday in the comic opera kit of
evening dress on board the vessel.
He therefore presented himself in
an attire that compromised the official
correctness of frock coat by brown
boots. His majesty, however, resent
ed the informality, called the atten-
ton of the consul general at Bergen
to the solecism, and announced his
intention of ceasing to honor the
place with any further visit.-London

THE STORY.

HE SIORY.
THE 80 days of mourning had ended,
/ and still Israel lay encamped in
the plain of Moab. The memory of
those days made their hearts tender
and submissive. Moses words were
still fresh in mind, and confidently
and hopefully they looked forward to
the certainty of their possession of
the Promised Land.
But Joshua made no move. And the
people recognized him as the leader
in Moses stead, and they waited.
Us it not time that Joshua was
pushing forward?" they asked one an
other. THE days of mourning are
ended. Why do we longer re-
main in this place? Here Is the
place Of sorrow, for it is here we
have lost our great leader. Here
is the place of encouragement, for the
blessing of Moses was spoken upon us
in this place. And now the Promised
land beckons us On. God will give
it us. Why do we not go forwards?
But Joshua remained in ~seclusion
in his tent To him the great re-
La
s%ponsibility was throwing him more
and more upon God. and during these
DAYS of mourning he sought the d.
vine presence. Over and over again
he studied the last words OF Moses,
seeking to know the perfect will Of
God concerning his people. Over and
over again he reviewed the past his
tory. All, how they had rebelled;
now they had murmured against
Moses: fhow they had suffered for
their mistakes and sins. just 40
years ago they had been upon the bor-
der land and had lost the blessed
privilege Of entering the Promised
Land because OF unbelief- Would they
now escape that pitfall? he asked
himself. He knew the task Of lead
