was married prior to marrying Alberti.
She was first married to prominent
farmer who died few years after
wards, leaving her considerable for

husband, Professor Bendix, but was di-
berti. AS soon as Alberti had been
placed under arrest for wholesale
swindleries she secured a divorce from
him and remarked her formed hus-
band. She, is therefore, a very much
married woman.
]. C. Christensen continues to be
very unpopular in all sections of the
country. His return to the cabinet
was resented by the people at large,
because his connection with the AL
berti scandal has not been definitely
ettled. The sentiment became SO
strong that more than $4,000 people
took part in an anti Christensen dem
onstration in Copenhagen. They are
still clamoring to have him ousted, but
as yet the king has not signifed his
intention of so doing.
The Nordenskiold Greenland expedi-
tion returned to Copenhagen last
month. The program of the expedi-
tion was carried through to the slight
est detail, and there have been some
splendid results. Some very fine col
lections were procured and much data
was gathered by the members of the
expedition regarding the natives and
their customs.

ECONOMY The WATCHW0RD.

The most important matter
discussed by President Taft
in his FIRST regular message to
congress is the necessity for
reduction in the public eNpen-
ditures. America has passed
through an era of reckless
extravaganza in the expendi-
ture of money by the govern
ment. The government,
both state and national, must
effect a curtailment. The
people are commencing to de-
mand economy. The public
expenditures have been Sim
ply the reflections of private
extravagances. it is Il good
sign that d sense of realiza-
tion is coming home to the
American people. The pie
thola of prosperity that has
enyeloped the country during
the past ten years or more
naturally invited and encour-
aged private and public ex-
travagance. There seemed
no end to the money supply.
The products of the farm and
factory advanced. by leaps
and bounds; the cost of living
daily increased; the cost of
government increased. So
long as all things increased
preportionately. it made little
difference, except for the bad
moral influence, how much it
was costing But there had
to be an end somewhere.
The cost of living; of main
tanning the government; of
sustaining the home; was
commencing to bear heavily
on the people. They began
to realize the pace they we're
going and of course demand

government will economic.

ticed to any great extent in
the Z. S., except where and
when conditions necessitate
frlgallty. Most Of US live as
high as the income permits.
The Injuries of twenty years
ago are the necessities Of to-
day. The economies Of our
grand parents would be des.
pissed now as .parsimony. The
thrift of our fathers, even,
would excite contempt. The
