ESCAPE A MIRACLE
Two Bad Runaways Sunday Evening
Neither Result Disasterously

It is almost miraculous that
the Misses Bertha Jippesen and
Laura Thorson, two young Ia
dies of this city, escaped serious
if not fatal injuries as the re-
suit of a runaway last Sunday
evening. While driving past the
armory the horse took fright at
a passing automobile, reared,
plunged and started to run. The
occupants of the light buggy
We're thrown out, Miss Thorson
sustaining a badly sprained
wrist, while her companion suf-
fers from cuts and bruises on
her arm. The horse was stopped
farther on down the street, no
injuries being sustained to eth
er the animal or the vehicle.
State Senator john Carroll
and his brother We're also the

boarded and roomed at the Chau-
tauqua grounds while attending
the session. The school is
under the management of Hon.
W. L. Stockwell, superintendent
Of Public Instruction, Lucy B.
Seiple, superintendent of schools
of Pierce county and Laurena
Vannier, superintendent of
schools of Ramsey county.
Besides the opportunity given
teachers to receive thorough
training in methods of teaching
and to review subjects in which
they wish to obtain standings
for certificates, there are lee
lures by prominent speakers and
members of the faculty. The
teachers cannot fail to find rest
and recreation as we'll as profit
able work at the Summer School.

victims of a runaway Sunday
which came near resulting disas-
trously for the victims. AS it
was the buggy was smashed be-
yond repair, but the horse and
occupants escaped serious in
jury. While driving near the
Great Northern round house the
horse became frightened at an
automobile and ran away. Mr..
Carroll and his brother were
both thrown out, but, as above
stated, escaped without injury.

The Wrong Knee

The late Archbishop of Can
terbury was for many years
fearful of a stroke of paralysis.
Seated at the right of Countess
T. at a brilliant banquet he
startled the guests by arising
and remarking:
Brethren, it has come at last
that which | have feared for
forty years-a stroke of paraly-
sis. have been pinching my
knee for the last twenty minutes
and can't find the least sensation
there"
pardon me-" said the Coun
tess, "but it was my knee tina
you were pinching."

PICNIC A. SUCCESS
Sons of Norway Fnjoy a Fine Day and
a Fine Crowd at Annual Catherine

The beautiful little grove on
Phillip Manseau's claim, four
miles west Of the city was the
scene of a large gathering Sun
day afternoon and evening. The
assemblage' came as the guests
Of the. Sons of Norway at their
annual picnic, and right royalty
were they entertained. It is es-
timated that there were one
thousand persons in attendance.
The Devils Lake Eagle band
from the city was present, and
added materially to the after
moons entertainment: Seats and
a platform had been erected, and
lat about $3.50 o'clock the formal
program was opened by Andrew
Sherwin, who acted as chairman
Of the meeting, introducing Gov.
John Burke. He was greeted
!; With applause, and in opening his
remarks expressed his gratifica-
ton for the fact that the Sons of
Norway had perfected an organ
iization in Ramsey county. He
believed that a man who: still re-
tanned love and veneration for
his mother country was d better
citizen of the land of his adop-
| tionsbecause Of it,. On the other
hand should a man forget the
land Of his birth, he is apt ito be
Eunpatriotic to the land III which
/ he lives. He expressed his adj
|lniration for the earl NorWeg-
ian settlers who came to this
country, settled in the then prac-
tically unset northwest, and
by dint Of hard labor and the sllf-
tffering of many hard ships had

Great Northern Enjoys Good Year.

The stupendous sum of $685.
100000 is said to be the approx
innate figure Of the net earnings
of the Great Northern railroad
for the past twelve months end
ing June 30th. Besides this sum
the road gets $15,OOO,00O from
the Burlington, in which road
they hold nineteen per cent of
preferred stock, which amounts
to all to about $86,5OO,OOO-a
nice sum for the stockholders
this year.

lending their aid to the manage
ment of these companies. The
stock companies, as we all know,
do not furnish any competition
to each other. They need a little
good, healthy competition to keep
rates and expense ratios within
reasonable bounds, and they can
only get their competition
through the mutual companies.
The state mutuals keep all the
money they collect at home.
None of it goes east to be used
in financial manipulations.
None of the men interested in
our home mutual companies are
getting rich by reason of their
connection with these companies.
They believe, and you and 1
know it to be true, that stock
company rates are lower today
than they would be if it were not
for the mutual companies.
| Now a word in conclusion with
reference to the safety of our
mutuals as compared with the
stock companies. When a stock
company finds it's loss ratio rum
ming higher than it should, they
increase your rates. The mutuals
simply decrease the dividends
they return to you. The stock
company agents make a great ar
gument about the contingent liza
bility to policy holders in the
mutual companies. When the
stock companies are unable to
pay in full, they settle losses at
60 or 80 cents on the dollar, as
they did in San Francisco. The
mutuals would have called on the
contingent liability. Which is
better for the man who has had
the loss? He is the man that
needs help. Neither of these con-
tingencies are worth worrying
very much about as they don't
, happen more than once or twice
in life time in any one locality.
The stock companies are going
to make you pay the losses. They
. don't put up their capital to pay
, losses with. They pay it in tc
get dividends on it. The mutuals
don't ask you to pay dividends
, to stockholders in addition to the
! losses. They return the money
: they don't need for losses and ex.
7 penses directly to you.

developed it to it's present state
of prosperity.
In his law experience cover
ing period Of twenty years he
had had a great deal to do with
Norwegians, both in the witness
box and as jurors, and his expert
ence had been that the Scandi-
navian citizens had the utmost
respect for the law, and that as
jurors, they were most depend
able.
Since occupying the guberna-
torial position he has had occa-
sion to visit the Normal schools
OF the state, and had found there
many Scandinavian young men
and women fitting themselves to
be teachers. So it is in all the
other professions in the North
west, the Scandinavian is rapid
ly coming to the front. He was
convinced that the Norwegian
was behind the government in
the enforcement of the law, ire
spective of politics. The speak
er expressed the hope in his clos
ing remarks that they would con-
tinue in the future to do this as
they had in the past.
After a short selection by the
band the chairman introduced
the next speaker, Judge J. F.
Cowan. The judge was in his
happiest mood, and his remarks
were we'll received by his hear
ers, they frequently attesting
their approval by applause. He
spoke of the characteristics of
the Norwegian in words of
praise for their attributes.
Attorney Silver Serumgard
followed this address. He open,
' ed by saying that of the three
speakers on the afternoons pro.
gram, three nationalities were
,, represented, the governor being
an Irishman, Judge Cowan {
Scotchman and the speaker {
; Scandinavian. He deplored thu
,, fact that the French were no
,, represented, and thought che,
,, should have been, as it was or
