many of which, though devised in the
spirit of harmless mischief, have
proved fatal.
such one was that played ON the
last Halloween, in neighboring
town, by roguish boys, who set live
electric wire in a public place. The
boys only meant to give slight shock
to passers by, but the first one who
passed, a promising young man, was
killed.
On the same evening boys drew
away the front steps from the resi-.
dence of reputable physician of Min
neapolis. They meant only to be
funny, but the physician in going out
of his house in the darkness, suffered
serious injuries which might have
proved fatal.
The hazing which has been so prev.

-lasgow, where the population is al
most entirely within the bounds of its
own walls, it has, l suppose, distinct
advantages; but to us, who use the
trolley in the great majority of cases
for long distance riding, the advanta-
ges lie in quite the opposite direc-
ton. Our five cent fare in Boston
takes us miles and miles further than
the same fare would in Glasgow; and
could not help thinking that if they
changed their rates and copied our
system of private operation there
would not be so many pale, under
sized men and women and starved
looking children cooped up in wretch
ed alleys with no sun and no air and
no place to play but the neighboring
steps.
1.-THE people cannot afford to pay
the larger rates it costs to get out in
to the country. In fact, the tramway
system extends only some six or
seven miles from the center of Glas-
cow, and that in one direction only, a
fact which the advocates of municipal
ownership forget to mention. Having
looked out for the traffic within their
own immediate boundaries, it does not
occur to them to reach out and open
up the districts beyond, as is done
here in Boston. They have no incen-
tive for it, and perhaps it would be
outside their rights in any case. No
one can enter into competition with

Boston, Dec. S.-The last stragglers

returning from abroad now, laden
with the usual assortment of expert
ences and impressions. In the car
goes of ideas brought home every
year by these transatlantic voyagers
there is mostly much of a same

homecomers is an observer who has
seen some of the old sights from a
new point Of view. Such a one is a
young woman who stepped ashore the
other day after a month in Scotland
where, being a Bostonian, she found
special interest in Glasgow, the Scot
fish city with which Boston is COM

liarly desirable spot. Fresh air, all

tall and very amenable horse.
How do we survive our disap-

Senator Nelson and his former COM
pany commander, Major Carter, keep
in close touch. A few years ago Major
Carter visited the senator-he was
governor then-at his farm home near
Alexandria, Minnesota. It was in that
town where the senator practised law
for many years. From there he was
elected to the national house Of hepre-
sentatives and as governor, then as
senator. The house is large, plain,
comfortable, such home as a thrifty

are five hundred acres and the senator
has the reputation of being a model ag-
riculturist.

stout hearted representative from
the battlefield of Port Hudson met at

mander, a banker and lawyer and his
former corporal, governor of the
state. They attended a camp fire one
evening. Major Carter was on the
platform at the side of the governor.
The presiding officer, in a high sound

honored and distinguished governor
of the state of Minnesota.

Twice Told Tales
BY Colonel j. A. Watrous.

A very proud old lady resides at Deer
field. She is the mother of Senator
Knute Nelson ofMinnesota, and recently
celebrated her ninety-third birthday.
Mrs. Nelson and her husband came
from Norway to Chicago in 1910, when
they could have purchased lots in the
center of the city with their little
stock of worldly wealth which would
have made them multi-millionaires
long ago. Land worth $1,000000 now
could have been bought for 500 then.
Ten years later they moved to Wis
consin where Mrs. Nelson has lived
ever since. Her husband died nearly
twenty years ago.
When the civil war came Mr.. and
Mrs. Nelson had been residents of
America twenty-one years and they
had the reputation, at that time, of
being among the most patrioic Ameri-
boy. Knute, came to dinner one day
| in May, 1861, and asked permission 10

Knute Nelson reached the rank Of
corporal. At Port Hudson, in June,
1868. he was seriously wounded. Cap
tain George w. Carter afterwards ma
jor, his company commander, was
wounded at the same time. The two
soldiers were lying close together, on
the field. Both had planned to ac-
quire a college education, and they
went into the war without changing
that plan-they would go through col
lege after they had finished serving
their country.
These two typical American soldiers,
shot down on the battlefield, suffering
from wounds that promised to result
fatally. could yet talk of their plans.
