Golly! But it's awful hot!

In the shade).
Energy Just melts away
In this heat
No one wants to work or play
Or be neat.
Nope around and just don't care
What we say, or do, or wear,
All we wants "a breath Of air."
So we say
We're dead beat
Mercury at 92-
Great Scott!
Don the shirt waist "peek-a-boo1
(My, it's hot!).
Authorized by fashions book,
Worn by missus, miss and cook
(And the rude men needn't look),
But they do,
Quite a lot!
Mercury at 92-
Holly smoke!
Pretty hard on me and you!
No joke!
Fashion, by fell decree
Puts a coat on you and me.
What weak fools we men folks be!
Thus to do,
Well croak!

Everyone in Iowa says he is in fav-

Advertiser. "Is that kind OF deal
more apt to come from the settlement
Of the disputed questions by a disinter-
ested tribunal of some kind than from
their settlement by men who have been

GUS contest and who have given great
deal of proof that they would not hes

methods to carry any point they deem

states where the republican majority
is hopelessly against them, for demo-
Gratis to lend the force of their moral

best interests of the people. This the
democrats have done in the factional
contest in Iowa." asserts the Tele-
graph Herald.

that the convention must be purged Of
stolen delegates, no matter who gets
hit, and. must be purged of all dele

majority of their own party" continues

CHR. ANKER DEFRAUDED
Paid 200 900 kr. for Mining Claims Al;
ready His Own.

Mining swindles of considerable
magnitude have recently come to light
in the iron fields in Finmarken, Nor
way. Three persons are under arrest
and the fourth is under guard at his
home, where he is dangerously i'll.
The principal appears to have been an
engineer named Groenbeck, and his &C
completes were Ole and John Holten
of Risen. Ole was in the employ OF
Chr. Anker as a prospector in his ex-
tensfve fields Ole instructed his
brother on the appearance of ore out
groupings and started him out.
Through Groenbeck the claims were
sold to Mr.. Anker. Afterward it was
discovered that the claims already be-
longed to Mr.. Anker.
Arrests were thereupon ordered and
all the men involved were secured.
The money, amounting to 100000 kr,
was found deposited in various banks
and was taken in charge by the po-
lice A man by the name of KEEL
mann. in Berlevaag, has also been
placed in Jail.

AGAIN THE REINDEER.
Swedish Minister Declares That Bru-
tally Was Shown

It is not unlikely that Sweden and
Norway may have a serious quarrel
over the reindeer and Laps in the
north. On April the Swedish civil
minister was called to the second
chamber to give information as to the
status of the reindeer question, with
particular reference to the charges
that the Norwegian officials had been
extremely brutal toward the Swedish
Lapps in driving them and their herds
across the border.
The minister replied that the gov
eminent had received reports indicat-
ing that several Norwegian officials
had been aggressive and brutal, and on
the strength of the reports had made
a demand on Norway for an explana-
ton
These statements are somewhat at
variance with those made by the same
minister in the course Of an interview
in which he intimated that, though the
Norwegian officials had probably been
severe, there was no accession for in
reference, as forage had been poor on
the Norwegian side of the border and
was insufficient for the reindeer at
home, let alone those from Sweden.

ENJOYS OF SWEDEN.
The Number Will Be Reduced Ac-
cordinu to New Plan.

The royal commission appointed last
summer to suggest a plan for the re
organization of the Swedish dipLo-

government. 1t is proposed that the
number of ENJOYS be limited to the
immediate neighbors, namely Russia,
Germany, Denmark and Norway, and
in addition Great Britain, France,
United States and Japan The envoy
at Paris is also to be accredited to the
court of Brussels and the envoy at
London to the court Of the Hague, and
the positions of minister to Belgium
and Netherland be abolished. Consuis
general are recommended to be estab-

Gypsies.

Sweden has band Of gypsies which
it is anxious to give away to any coun-
try desiring an increase in population.
The band arrived recently at Malmo
from Denmark, but is originally from
Germany. 1t travelled as far as Lund,
where the police took charge of the
entire party Efforts were made to de-
port the colony to Denmark and later
to Germany, but each country notified
the Swedish authorities that the gyp-
sizes would not be allowed to land.
Now the police do not know what to
do. I'm the entire party OF fifty there
are no more than four who could be
classed as able bodied, the remainder
being made up of children, of which
there are about thirty, and old people,
including a few who are helpless.
The adults represent themselves as
horse dealers and musicians, but all
are without means, and it is plain that
the strollers intend to live by begging
and petty thievery.
