An Ancient Scald.

During the recent visit of the King
Of Denmark to the Norwegian court,
most interesting figure might have
been remarked among the distin-
guished guests there assembled.
This was an old minstrel, or scald,
close upon ninety years of age, with
long, snow-white beard and hair, and
an air of proud dignity in spite OF
his rude, coarse clothes. Had he
not a right carry his head high
among the other mobiles, he, a de-
scendant of Harold Fairhaired, the
first king of united Norway? That
doughty Harold, who went unkempt
and unshorn until he reached this
high position, in order to fulfil VOW
to his high-born ladylove, Gyda?
Never before had the old scald left
his home in Telemarken, where, true
to the habits of his very long line of
forefathers, he lived in cave.
1t was also ancient custom that the
scald should amuse the king and his
court with song and harp, so in an
swer to the request of his majesty
of Norway, the ancient bard left his
cave and appeared at court with his
precious old viking lutte.
This lutte, called in Norwegian a
langleik, is over three hundred years
old. 1t is of wood, fashioned with
much artistic skill. In shape it is
not unlike the lutes of later times.
Six heavy strings stretched over the
opening give forth deep, full reso-
nance Solemn, thrilling voices from
a dim, forgotten. past seem recalled
to life.
The scald sang many folk songs
old as time, and his distinguished
audience listened with the deepest
emotion.
The King of Denmark was so i'm
pressed that he warmly urged the
minstrel to visit him as guest in his
palace at Copenhagen-an invitation
which the old man accepted with
quiet dignity. Was he not also the
descendant of Youths Com
panion.

that stretched away in curving lines
along the hillside damp and cool from
the ploughshare.
Squire Yokum, with your kind per-
mission, Sir, think will postpone
my return to Lexington today" said
Len, his diffidence leaving him for once
as he watched the girls disappearing
figure. Then, without waiting for re-
ply, he was off with giant strides, on
the trail, exulting in the certainty that
this time no maiden wiles or masculine
timidity could prevent that long-de-
layed ardent declaration.
He stood silently contemDlat.7e for
fully five minutes stroking his beard.
Then he broke out:
Gee bang" said the Squire, watch
ing the impromptu race with an anus
ed chuckle, "Hit do beat all heow tibet

prepared to leave the field, his move
ments being somewhat accelerated By

Trawlers and Gables.

In connection with the damage
which is repeatedly being caused to
+, the cables of the Commercial Gable
company off the Irish coast by Brit
ism traWlers, letter written by Mr.
Clarence H. Mackay to the United
States Secretary of State shows the
cost and trouble to which the COM
pany is put in order to maintain its
service unimpaired. During the
past three months" he says, 'our
cables have been injured and broken
two and three at time by these
nshlng trawlers at a distance of about
nifty miles from the Irish coast. We
nave expended over 100000 already
this year in making repairs to our
cables off the Irish coast, and each

mas been due to these fishing trawl-
ers. The iniurv tn us is not
only the enormous expense of repairs,
but also the necessity of refusing to
accept business from the public for
transmission The trouble
IS that it is impossible in most in
stances to find out who the guilty
party is, and even after that is found
out it is almost impossible to obtain
proof that the injury was wilful. -

Instinct in nearly all animals would
no doubt be absent. Wherever man
comes into contact with birds and
beasts which have never been mo-

no emotions but those of curiosity

The classic example of alliance be-
tween animals of different species is,
of course. the friendship between man
and dog. When to the strength and cum

sistible combination was secured
which ended in the perfdious enslave-
ment Of the lower creature by man.
Birds are nothing but snakes which
have evolved feathers and wings dur.
ms countless millenniums. The in
eradlcable hatred between monkeys
and snakes has been beautifully
changed into the friendly tolerance
between birds and men. Owls, which
are instantly mobbed by all birds

their rat-catching procivilities. The

means of suction ridges upon the

In South Africa. where insect life
is perhaps more abundant than in
any other part of the world, sheep

HEARST ST|RS .
EN- Up AGAIN
RAPS FORAKER SOME MORE
AND OFFERS HIS EVIDENCE
THAT HASKELL is ACTIVE
ENEMY OF LABOR.

DENVER, Col, Oct. William
r. Hearst last night renewed his
charges against Foraker and Has
kell. He read two letters from
John D. Archbold of the Standard
Oil Co. to Senator Foraker in which
were inclosed certificates of de-
post for $4,000 and $4,000. In re-
ply to Foraker's assertions that
Hearst had not made public letters
which would prove his innocence,
Hearst declared he possessed no
such letters.
Haskell, Hearst charged, was in
league with the Citizens alliance
against labor. In support of the
statement he read an affidavit
signed by Morgan Carroway, secre-
tary of the alliance at Muskogee,
Okla. 1t said Haskell had paid
regular dues and had frequently
talked of the policies to be pur-
sued toward labor. Another afiida-
Wit was from John Farrell of Mus
kogee, who said he was made
sergeant at arms of the alliance
through Haskells influence.
Referring to statements that he
and the president have patched up
differences Hearst declared they
are untrue and he dislikes the pres
ident thoroughly and is DESTROYS
of settling scores with him when
he once more becomes a private
citizen. But so long as Roosevelt
is president, Hearst declares, he
will treat him as a loyal American
should.
He praises the president for re-
pudiating Foraker and declares
Bryan acted disloyally in forcing
Haskells resignation as chairman
of the national committee, while
yet declaring he believed him limo

HAz|NG NEARLY
KILLS HIM

ST. LOUIS, Oct. las a result
of being tied to a telegraph pole
and allowed to remain there gagged
for eight hours, George Harnisch,
age 10, a Washington university
freshman, is in a serious condition
at his home.
Harnisch was found by number
of sophomores shortly before 8
p. m. and tied to a telegraph pole
on the campus. The rope was
wound tightly around him many
times and then a gag was inserted
between his teeth SO that he could
scarcely breathe.
When the ropes were united the
boy sank senseless to the ground.
His arms and legs were SO cramped
by the rope that it was nearly an
hour before his blood began to cir
culate properly.

HASKELL STILL
HAMMERS
INVITES ANOTHER SWAT WITH
THE BIG STICK BY CASTING
ASPERSIONS AGAINST PRESl-
DENT AND PARTY.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Oct. Another
Arrangement of the president is
contained in letter which Charles
N. Haskell. former treasurer of the
democratic national committee, has
written to Roosevelt.
He declares the president lacks
the least semblance of manhood,
and with reference to the charges
against himself says he will seek
redress before the people and in
the courts. That the presidents
manner in vacillating from one
charge to another and admitting
certain charges were without
foundation, yet not apologizing for
untruths, Haskell declares shows
reckless partisanship which would
pack court or fix jury.
With reference to the presidents
first statement that suit has been
brought against him to recover
title to Creek Indian lands, Has
kell charges that petty politics
acquiesced in by the president. are
back of the suits and the object is
to republicanize 10000 Indian
votes.
That Roosevelt was in on a deal
with the Standard Oil and granted
to the Prairie Oil & Gas Co. vest
ed rights over which the state of
Oklahoma has no control, is a
further charge Haskell repeats.
This issue he says the president
has tried to evade. He challenges
publication of records of the in
terror department on the matter
and hints that the president may
garble or suppress derogatory por-
tons.
That Roosevelt's 16 objections to
the Oklahoma constitution struck
at the vitals of honest government
is further charge. Haskell infers
by declaring he himself does not
get drunk, that the president does,
and says he will be glad to publish
a letter the president wrote him
with regard to interstate commerce
of whiskey into prohibition terri
tory. The letter. he says, would
freeze the hearts of honest citizens
trying to administer laws of their
state as they made the laws by
their votes.
Concluding Haskell says that if

jury to try him he challenges Cor
telyou for cause on account of Cor

ELOPING PREACHER
CAUGHT IN WASHTUB

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct
Charged by his wife with non
support, the Rev. William c. Cum
mings, formerly an Episcopal rector
at Ionia, Mich, was arrested here
in the company of woman said to
be his sister in law. The pair had

arrived to arrest him
1t is alleged that he left 1onia
three weeks ago for Elk Rapids,
where he delivered a special ser

the head of parish. He sent word

not permit others to encroach upon
his dignity.
That was a matter of taste. Per-
haps he might have unbent more.
But he preferred to live a happy
life in his own home circle, un-
afraid of the gossips, and keeping
aloof from most of the gayeties of
garrison life. Fort Monroe is a
pretty gay place, and any man who
excludes himself is marked.
So there you have the secret of
the Stewart case. When he was in
command he declined to indulge
certain officers in their attempts to
shirk. That was poor diplomacy,
applied to men with a pull He
stood up for the enlisted man, every
time. He made charges against an
officer who abused an enlisted man,
and that went down against him.
He insisted that his garrison was
a military post first and a society
nursery afterward. More poor di-
plomacy. He favored drills, and
plenty of them, even if they inter-
fered with other peoples plans,
having notion that drills was
what the army could never get
enough Of And he had an abom-
Unable habit remember the fierce
resentment with which one young
ster told me of it-of getting up at
unearthly hours and looking after
his official family and the way they
caused breakfast to he cooked and
served to the men. That was the
last straw.
What, ask you, under heaven, is
to become of the army when a man,
not charged with any violation of
the regulations, can be punished
without trial and retired without
redress, when the country is en-,
titled to at least five years more of
his services and of his military ex-
perience?
My impressions concerning
Colonel Stewart can be summed up
in a word: They rankle, as per-
haps the grossest exposition of in
justice crammed down the threats
of the American people in many
years. Yours truly,
