Animal.

Animal.
Word has been received from AXE
ley of terrific struggle between big
wildcat and Mrs. Denton Patten in a
deserted logging camp in the woods
northwest of there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Denton Patten were
out for rest and recreation Mr. Pat
ten is city marshal at Akeley. At
night they heard unusual sounds near
the larder and in the morning they
found that some beast had been at
the meat Marshal Patten set figure
4 trap with washtub and retired to
rest, hoping to trap the intruder.
Early next morning Mrs. Patten,
more out of curiosity than anything
else, went to the trap and lifted the
washtub.
Immediately there was a tremen-
dous scream.
A big wild tomcat had sprung upoa
Mrs. Patterns back and began to tear
and lacerate her flesh. Her loud
screams and the accompanying scuffie
brought the men folks to the scene.
Patten had to use much skill to kill
the beast without injuring his wife

SWEDEN.

z King Gustaf has lately appeared in
a new role, which has caused much IA
,vorable comment in all labor circles
and which will surely bring him close
to the hearts Of the laboring men in
his country. Not long ago he appeared
disguised as stevedore, carrying
sacks of coal from a lighter. In an
Interview after it was all over the
king said that this was only the be-
ginning. He intended to mix with all
classes of laborers, so that he might
ascertain their opinions and wishes.

| Already, he added, he had obtained
many valuable hints from the men
with whom he worked. The de-
of the condition of the workingmen by
mingling with them and taking part
in their labors has resulted from the
recent great tieup of the business life
of the country by general strike.
King Gustaf interviewed last August in
an endeavor to secure a compromise,
but without avail. The strike contin-
ued for months and involved thou
sands of men and has not been settled
to this very day
That repressive legislation directed
at the labor unions may be expected
of the riksdag this winter is the opin-
ion of Valfrid Spongberg, editor of the
Svenska Folkets, the semi-week1y
radical newspaper, which stood almost
alone in Sweden as supporter of the
strikers cause. Mr.. Spongberg, while
not socialist, is regarded by the
workers as one Of the leading cham
pions, and the typographers' unions
have voted an appropriation of $4,000
crowns to help him turn his paper into
!! daily. Mr.. Spongberg said to a news
paper representative recently in regard
to the recent strike and the outlook at
present: ssOf course labor has not
gained anything this time. 1t is in,-
possible for the men to secure better
conditions for a while and there will
be less work this winter, so it may be
difficult indeed to find employment.
Many have emigrated and many will
do so later. The unions, which had
much money in their treasures before
the strike, have little or nothing now.
The trouble now is not without it's
benefits to the workers. 1t will be
found in the future that the manufac-
turers will not make use of great lock-
outs to force the men to do their way.
The most important purpose the work
ers had in the strike was to stop the
manufacturers from using the lockout
Though the workers have not been
able to force the manufacturers to
agree that lockouts will cease, just the
seen. In the past many contracts
have conceded employers the right to
lockout and the men the right to
strike. The men have not liked this,
but could not help it. Now one lock-
out experience has been very costly
for the employers and they will not
soon repeat it,
Knut Sigfrid Flodin, well Anown
Stockholm publisher, died Nov. II,
aged eighty-three years. He has for
many years been regarded as one of
the foremost book publishers in Stock
holm and he made his fortune in the
business. Few men have been so well
known and respected as Sigfrid Flo
din and the boots that have been pub
Hshed lat his plant run up into the

NORWAY

Says Charles B. Cheney in recent
lstter from Christiania to the Mime
apclis Journal: "The prohibition
movement has grown in Norway until
it as enlisted the support of not less
than 10000 voters, but as separate
political organization the teetolers
have not cut much of a figure The
one-idea parties have almost been lost
sight of this year. Norway is long
ways from prohibition, though one OF
the leading countries of the world on
the temperance question. Sentiment
is overwhelmingly for temperance, buf
against prohibition as impractical
Norwegians point proudly to their
high place in the statistics of temper
ance. Based on per capita consump-
tion of pure alcohol Finland leads all
countries, with one and nine-tenths
1iters year for each person, and Nor
way comes next with two and four
tenths liters. The Norwegian record
is good, but prohibitionists deplore
the fact that it has not been reduced
in recent years. If Norway is to make
further progress, they say, it must be
by policy of total prohibition. Nc
further gains seem possible under
high license and local option. Drink
ing places are confined almost entire
~ to cities and villages, as few coun-
try parishes now license the sale OF
liquor. but in the villages liquor is
accessible to all"
''The fight is for or against So
cialism," said former Premier Michel
sen in commenting on the results OF
the recent elections in Norway and on
future political campaigns. He gave
out the following interview: in ou1
political life of late there has been a
movement towards 'Hoire.' AS fol
me, / believe that this movement will
continue and that in a short time we
will see similar movement towards
sVenstre,' that is to say, the now ex-
listing consolidated 'Venstre' will be
compelled to split into two factions,
one joining the existing parties and
the other going over to the socialists.
This is the natural development in
every country. 1t must happen in this
country in spite of all opposition, in
spite of all theoretical ideas advanced
against It.. 1t is coming and must
come That fact is shown already by
the recent elections
American dispatches received in
Christiania lately state that Dean
Owrie of the geological faculty of the
University Of Minnesota is Planning
walking trip through Iceland in the
near future for the purpose OF securing
original documents containing the
sagas of prehistoric bards, geological
and anatomical specimens as trophies
for private collections for the Mime
sofa uniyersity's museum. Norwegian
scientists are much interested in Dean
Owrie's venture and predict that he is
bound to- find much of interest in Ice
land, but that Norway's explorers
have already traversed the field and
left but comparatively little to discov-
er along these lines.

tleirs big barns, houses, draft horses

tion il solved by' q view OF the big
dairy nerds on every farm, and the
busy crearnee-ies at every postohace.
When the drouth took their crops,
the necessity Of dairying was forced
upon. them, and it proved so profita-
bic that they don't even raise baby
beef for market, but kill most OF
the calves IN infancy, believing with
present facilities that they can make
the most out of straight dairying.
These farmers south of the Missouri

the route to success to Mclean and
Sheridan county farmers, who will
find diversified farming and dairy
ing to be the safest and surest way
to wealth. Ralph pointed out that
our farmers are idle during half the

what they earn through the summer,

all with me,
Then in one breath her wondering spir

To that unknown and vast eternity
I knew her every thought and she
knew mine,
We loved small piping birds, fail

Green meadows, singing brooks, tht

Instead of these she knows all mys

Wander beside still waters, through

I see her gathering asphodels, and

She waits for me through all the
