A Famous Repiy.

The career of Axel Oxenstjerna is
a proud chapter in the history of Swe-
den. In 1911 Oxenstjerna became the
chancellor of the Swedish empire, un-
der Gustavus Adolphus. and much Of
the glory that befell the reign OF that
remarkable monarch was due to the
mastery diplomatic ability. great cour-
age, resource and moderation" of his
prime minister. For in the days Of
Oxenstjerna Sweden was one of the
powers of Europe, and the Swedish
dominion for time extended over
Prussian territory. During the entire
period of the Thirty Years war in
Europe Sweden, through the instru-
mentality OF her .mighty man In
peace" maintained an enviable place
In the council Of nations. And when
In 104S negotiations for "A general CON
tinental agreement began at Osna-
bruck the Swedish chancellor appoint
ed his own son, Johan, as the Swedish
representative, the son expressed his
distrust of his ability TO properly serve
his country IN so responsible ca
pacity TO this natural dliiidence of
youth the father made his famous re-
ply:
''Dost thou not know, my son, with
how little wisdom the world is gov
erned:"

A Country of Wonders.

The story below was told by the
Hon. Peter White Of Marquette, Mich.
in the course Of his historical address
upon the development Of the Lake Su-
perior region on the occasion Of the
Sault canal semicentennial celebra-
ton:
Some years ago, when the side wheel
or Baltimore was making very slow
progress up the lake against a heavy
head wind, n Frenchman. who was II
passenger, walked out on deck just be-
fore dark. took look at the Pictured
Rocks and was much pleased with the
view.
In the morning, before breakfast.
he again came out ON deck. and the
panorama astonished him.
"What ees dis beautiful sight you
have here?" he asked.
He was told, you are again looking
Mt Pictured Rocks"
"What II great countries" he ex-
claimed. Before you go to bed yon
walk Oh de deck. You have grand
view de Picture Rock. Den you go to
bed, you sleep well all night = de
steamer Is go ahead all de time-you
come out on deck In de morning, you
see Picture Rock again. What a big
countree you got and what big Picture
Rock"
No one told the admiring Frenchman
that the captain, finding that he could
make no headway against the wind
and the waves. had run back to White
flsh point during the night and that he
was then looking at the same rock
pictures he had seen the evening he-
fore.

The Doctor and the Dog.

A family that live In a detached
house out in the suburbs telephoned
for their doctor. The call was urgent.
1t was late in the evening.
When the doctor arrived at the gate
the family dog was there ahead Of
him. The dog did not like the looks Of
man with triangle shaped bunch
Of whiskers and black satchel
The doctor started to brush by the
dog and go in. But the dog soon
showed him that he wasn't joking.
Maybe they'll hear the dog and call
him off," thought the doctor, and he
waited. But they didn't.
There was just one thing for the doe
tor to do. and that was to go to the
nearest telephone and call up the fam
fly. But he learned that 1t was no
easy job TO find telephone. 1t was
then pretty late, and he had to go half
q dozen blocks back toward town be-
fore he found place where he could
get phone.

end. I'VE haven't any dog. You must

Torrens had fascinated her from the
beginning. She had felt 1t would be
SO finely romantic to fling away a
lover and fortune for his dear sake.
And he had asked her to do TIA hun
dred times at least--as plainly as any
thing could be asked without words.
And now he had gone, at Billy's
bidding without word to her.
Sharp across her consciousness had
come the whistle of the departing
train. In a passion of anger and hui
initiation she turned again upon Billy
saying In her hardest voice:
Go tell everybody you threw me
over-because of-the other-and don't
let me see you ever again.
She was sorry for the speech before
the gate shut behind Billy. sorrier still
as the days drew into a week-a week
full of stir and wondering over Billy's
approaching departure. She had not
seen him again, even at a distance
Daily he walked block about rather

gave up his share In the money, put
ting the whole Of 1t safely In trust for
Adela. When word of 1t was brought
to her she turned away her face, ran
upstairs and was invisible until next
day
Torrens had written-a light, grace
ful, lying letter, pleading imperative
business in excuse for his seeming
rudeness. and at the very end limiting
at wishing her JOY with Billy. She
tore the letter furiously into small
bits and next minute wished she had
sent 1t to Billy instead.
Billy was going that night--upon the
same train that had taken Torrens
away. All day Adela thought of him.
All day she fought with herself.
At o'clock she began furiously to
make some small preparations. At q,
cloaked and bonneted, with travel
ing bag clinched In her hands, she
stole down side streets to the station
and shrank into hiding there.
Billy would not come for half an
hour The train came at 7, but she

all talking at once and very fast. They
slapped him on the shoulder and
poked him In the ribs. but somehow
they were not very merry. Billy him
self was not merry, though he kept up
his part manfully.
Adela, watching from her covert,
saw lines In his face unseen before.
Otherwise she might have lacked cour-

do. II was desperate thing, eonsid

SEED OF THE VIOLET.
The Flower Is Aggressive in Spite Of
Its Boasted Modesty.


The common wild violet affords one
of the most remarkable illustrations OF
the care and apparent forethought OF
nature In preserving species. As ev
erybedy knows, the violet grows In the
shade, in pastures, woods and fields
where the grass is abundant and long
1t comes up early In the spring and
flowers at time when the grass Is
most abundant and succulent, OF
course 1t is liable TO be cut down by
the scythe, but much more likely is II
to be bitten off by grazing animals.
The violets that come In the spring
either do not seed at all or very spar
ingly. so that If the plant relied on its
spring flowers for seed II would prob
ably perish off the earth in very few
years,
But in the late fall the plant bears
another crop of blossoms that are nev
er seen save by the professional bota-
MIST They are very small, utterly In
significant in appearance, and grow
either just ut or below the surface of
the ground. These are the flowers
which produce the seeds for the next
season The flowers OH long stems
blooming In spring are only for show
the hidden flowers are for use, and the
number of seeds they bear may be
Judged from the ease with which a
wild violet bed spreads.
When the seeds are ripe the pod ex
plodes, scattering them to consider
able distance, often to ten or twelve
feet from the parent plant, so that In
spite of its boasted modesty the violet
not only takes care of itself, but be-
comes troublesome aggressor - St
Louis Globe Democrat.
