convinced the arresting officers that
he tells the truth.

long distances from home, tied his

"A Letter on Its Way Nearly Thirty
Two Years.

A prosperous Norwegian citizen OF
Stanley, Wis, has just received a let
ter which was on its way to him fol-
80 years. The letter was mailed
from Norway to a port in Mexico,
where he had been stationed as a
youth on board a vessel. When the
letter reached Mexico he had gone
to South America. The communica-
ton was sent to South America, but
the man had returned to Norway.
The letter went back to Mexico and

sent back to Norway, and from there
to this country and reached the ad-

In studying the statistics one is i'm
pressed with the fact that q variety
of causes and not a single cause must
be attributed; and this Is important
in view of the statement recently
made that defective rails were large
ly responsible. They may have been
in recent years, but cannot have been
throughout the whole 16 years.
Defective rails no doubt are re-
sponsible to a certain extent, but
there are some causes Immediately

"The so-called yellow races are

they will buy more and more of your

features. China took S20,000,000 less
from you last year than the year be-

a silent non-importation agreement,
which was used SO effectively by us
preceding the revolutionary war, and
which is known by the modern name

Her marriage to the youngest son of

given no notable entertainments, this
bright, pretty woman often receives
the more serious-one might almost
say learned-members of the liberal
