The Socialists OF Stockholm elected
as member Of the second chamber Of
the Rikstag man named Johansson,
who has suddenly acquired national
fame in rather unpleasant manner.
He asked for certain brand Of Nor
wegian whisky at a restaurant very
late one evening, and when he found
that no such stuff was kept at the
place he abused the waiter to such an
extent that he was saved only by the
laws protecting members Of the
Rikstag. The temperance people seem
to have supported Johansson, and
their organ. Reformation tries to
get rid of this unpleasant joke by de-
Eclaring that the candidate was not
regularly nominated, 2 but was pushed
to the fornt by woman working in q
brewery! 8S
Miss Magma Sunnerdahl, daughter
Of the late E. Sunnerdahl, who be-
queathed over one million dollars to a
children's home, has given an outline
of the plans Of the generous philan-
thropist. She says that little city
will be built in the neighborhood of
Stockholm for the care of poor, sick
ly children. A couple Of years stay
in the country is supposed to kill germ
diseases and to suppress immoral
tendencies in the little ones, and IT
they also learn to love country life an
additional advantage is gained. But
in the first place this children's colony
is to be a resort to which children like
to go, and where they like still better
to stay when they once get there. 1t
will be no dark and dreary educational
institution, says Miss. Sunnerdahl.
