! Miss Selma Hokansson, of Karls-
| krona, was caught in a bad trap the
other day. A Minneapolis paper Of
June 3, 1906, contained an item about
Oscar Anderson, a gun captain Of the
u. s. ship, Pennsylvania, who at that
time Ehad just reached his home in
Minneapolis to enjoy a .furlough after
two years. service in the navy. The
story was illustrated with a photo of
Mr.. Anderson, and was copied in a
Swedish paper, as result of which
Anderson, who is now in charge Of the
| naval recruiting station in Minneap-
| OILS, received a. massive letter with a.
Swedish postmark. Mr. Anderson, who
was unable to read the Swedish writ
ing, was much puzzled as to the cause
Of the letter as he was expecting no
message from any one in a foreign
| country. At length a person was found
| who read the letter for him, and he
was nearly convulsed when the epistle
proved to he a love, letter trimming
over with affectionate terms: and
phrases, and saying that his picture
! had been seen and recognized in a
Swedish paper and accusing him of
being an old flame of the writer, but
| now posing in America as Oscar An
derson and one of Uncle Sans Jack
/ tars. Anderson considers it huge
| joke, and is now anxiously wondering
who his mysterious double can be and
! where he can be found.
Adolf Helander, a writer of note,

the executor, just latter the latter had
returned from one Of his CHASTITY per-

house, but he induced the exeeutioner's
| wife to wake her husband. The latter
| was rather ugly, but still be answered
l. the questions fired at him. Finally,
Helander said. But how is it done,
anyway?' ''Well,'' said the exasperat-
| ed executioner, "it is done just this
way" and he seized the nervous news
paper man with his left and swung
| the horrid axe with his right. Instant
| ly- ~Helander~ tainted, and the execu-
toner had no choice but to bring him
to, as fast as possible. When the ex-
| ecutioner told this story he could al
ways add: .That was the worst case
ever had" .a:.:x..>~
