VIKINGS EVER IN MINNESOTA?


Cr0okston. M1nn.-Photographs have
been taken of the ancient Morse an.
Choir found on the state experiment
farm the other day. and copies of
thcse will be sent to the Swedish
snd Norwegian governments in the
nope of ascertAining the true histor-
teal value Tuf the discovery The an.
chor itself will be sent either to the
smithsonian institution or some mu.
scum. and efforts will be made to
connect 1t with the supposed visit of
the Norsemen to the continent OF
North America centuries before the
discovery by Columbus.
According to tradition. Lief Erikson
ieft n party of 60 men when he
touched on the North American coast,
and 1t is possible that this anchor is
a relic of that little band. of whom
nothing ever was heard afterward.
The anchor is light. weighing not
more than 30 pounds. 1t consists of
q rather heavy cylindrical center
Niece and from sockets on either side
prongs project. the prongs swinging
on iron pins through the center of the
cylinder.
From the nature of the stratum OF
ciay-an' which the anchor was found
IL is certain that the earth had not
been disturbed for centuries, as the
clay was not mixed with the least
particle of black dirt. The depth at
which the anchor was found and the
fact that it was imbedded in solid clay
probably accounts for its good state
OF preservation.
Efforts are 'betng made to discover
other evidence Of the Norssmens
presence In this part of the country.

Residents of rural communities
should beware of travelling agents
who are disposing of new-fangled cold
air refrigerators. This refrigerator is
represented as requiring no ice. All
that is necessary is to fill some of the
reservoirs it contains with cold water.
The agent does not ask that the farm
err even buy this refrigerator, and
represents that he is merely advertis-
ing it, and desires to place one on
trial without cost to the farmer. OF
course receipt for the wooden box
is asked. This receipt in the course
of few months turns up as a prom
isory note for SOS. The farmer has a
cheap wooden affair on his hands that
is not worth the room it occupies,
and a total failure as far as the re-
frigerator goes.

Former Librarian Explains
the Absence of Complete

In 1894, when the reading room
was opened, the Evening Item and the
Sun-Telegram were donated, but the
proprietor of the Palladium did net
wish to donate copy of his iaper,
therefore there were no papers to
preserve.
The other papers were used in the
reading room, and at the close of each
month they were carefully wrapped
and laid away for binding. The funds
of the library were very 1ow-and the
Item was the only paper bound regu-
volumes of local papers. The Jeffcr-
sonian will be found among them. 1
am sure list of the bound volumes
and of others accessible for reference
might be secured for publication.
1t was great mistake not to secure
the early papers offered by Isaac
Julian, no such collection will be Of
fered again. 1t is very important
that local papers should be preserved
and stored conveniently for reference
in the Public library.
During the past winter I had occa-
sion to consult the broken volumes
of the Palladium belonging to the His.
torical society, they are very interest
ing and contain information not to be
obtained elsewhere.

M. L. Bowmaster of Cambridge City

to visit it and study it. How many of
my fancied ideas of Paris, the French
and their customs, gained from read
ing the romantic and sentimental
words of some enthusiast, have taken
flight and in their stead 1 have the
reality.
The language of the French 1 had
always been told was soft and liquid,
falling upon the ear like music, but
the truth is it is the reverse. The
Partisan all talk through the nose and
instead of meditation they gesticulate
and the more they do so the louder
they talk, so that one unacquainted
with them would imagine a deadly
quarrel to be in full progress, but not
so, they are just talking; and again
the proverbial politeness of the
Frenchman can only exist in the
minds of those who never met them.
