A BRAVE GIRL.
Her Terrible Experience While on q

Her Terrible Experience While on q
Smuggling Expedition.
This ia Z of heroism displayed by a
young woman engaged in smuggling
contraband goods over the Swiss-Ital-
ian border comes from Geneva: mile.
Poretti. aged eighteen. and her BROTH
er. aged twenty-three. left Swiss terri
tory to cross the Baldisco pass carry
ing contraband goods into Italy. On
the summit they were overtaken by q
violent snowstorm and were soon in
deep snow. The Porettis roped them
selves. the young man leading. They
lost their way. and while attempting
to find the path poretti fell through
the snow into crevasse into which he
nearly dragged his sister. The girl.
however. planted her ice ak in the
snow and withstood the shock.
early the next morning several
smugglers crossing the pass from
Swiss territory into Italian found the
young girl near the ordinary route TAX
en- by smugglers and recognized her at
once. as she belonged to a smuggler's
family and lived at Chiavenna. The
smugglers at once drew up the broth
err but found that he had died during
the thirteen hours his sister had held
him by the rope. He had received Sc
we're injuries in the head. and his body
was frozen.
1.-The smugglers carried down the
brave girl. who was almost uncon-
scious, as well as the dead body Of her
brother. and notified the Poretti family
at Chiavenna. On reaching the valley
the girl had recovered sufficiently from
her terrible experience to explain that
she and her brother had spoken for
several hours after the accident and at
last he had said that he felt nothing
and wanted to sleep.
"A warm night followed the snow
storm, or two dead bodies would have
been found. Under the great strain
the rope had cut through the girls
clothes and her waist was bleeding
when she was rescued. Chicago

OF the sixth annual convention, Asso-

which meets in Omaha, July 1920,
and Mr.. Huse will speak on "The
Country Newspaper as an Advertising

This is not only the first time a
Nebraska speaker has been placed on
the national program. but also the
nrst time speaker has been selected
TO advocate the country newspaper as
N advertising medium. The Omaha
committee made the arrangement, not
only insisting that a Nebraskan be
placed on the program. but a country

An Unfamiliar Alias.

There may be nothing in a name,
but the American traveller of whom
the Living Church tells found at least
confusion therein. He had landed at
Liverpool and fastened out Of the city
to rural village. where he found a
charmingly old fashioned inn which
delighted his soul. 1t was late when
he arrived, and when he asked what
he could have for supper the buxom
landlady suggested minced collops. He
agreed with enthusiasm, the dish
sounded so romantic, so Robin Hoodsy,
so almost medieval. And what do
you suppose they brought him? Just
plain hash!

A CUNNING WEASEL.
This Trick by Which He Trapped His
Big Rat Antagonist.


Once q sawmill in a western town
was infested with rats, which, being
unmolested. became very numerous
and bold and played round the mill
among the men while they worked dur
ing the day. But one day there ap-
peared on the scene weasel, which
Immediately declared war on the ro-
dents.
One by one the rats fell victims to
the weasels superior strength. until
only one very large. puGnaciouS rat
was left Of the once numerous colony.
The weasel had a go at the big rat
several times, but on each occasion
the rodent proved more than a match
for his slender antagonist and chased
the weasel to a hiding place.
Shortly thereafter the weasel was
seen busily digging under a lumber
pile near the mill. He was engaged
for some time. but later appeared
again in the mill. seeking his old enc
my. He soon found him and at once
renewed hostilities. AS usual. after a
lively tussle the rat got the better of
the argument, and the weasel ran, pur-
sued closely by the rat, straight to the
hole under the lumber pile.
He ran in. still followed by the rat.
but Immediately reappeared round
the end of the pile and again lodged
into the hole behind the rat. Neither
was seen again for some time, but the
weasel finally reappeared. looking NO
worse for the fight.
The curiosity of the men in the mill
being aroused, they proceeded to in
vestigate the hole under the lumber
pile. They found that the weasel had
dug the hole sufficiently large at the
opening to admit the rat. but had
gradually tapered it as he proceeded
until at the other end it barely allowed
his own slender body to pass.
When the rat chased him into the
large end of this underground TUNE
he quickly slipped through, and while
the rat was trying to squeeze his large
body into the smaller part of the hole
the weasel lodged in behind him
caught him in the rear and in place
where he could not turn round and fin
ished him at his leisure. = Harper's
Weekly.

Bread In Sweden.

In Sweden the bread Of the people is
for the most part hard, thin as a din
ner plate and about the size Of one. 1t
is baked without yeast, and the water
is practically all extracted in the proc
ess Of baking; hence, relatively per
pound of bread, its cost is much high

1928, for the twenty-fourth biennial
saengerfest of the Saengerbund of the
Northwest.
! For the first time in the history OF
Nhe organization place OF meeting
has been selected west of the Missouri
river. the society having unanimously
selected Omaha as the meeting place
for the big musical event because of
the large Auditorium and hotel ac-
commodations, as well, as because of
the large number Of German people in
Omaha interested in the saengerbund
music.
1t is a great thing to Nebraska to
have this national saengerfest meet
within its borders, as it will bring to
the state hundreds of the most promi-
nent German citizens in the United
States, and give home people an OPP
portunity to hear them.
The Saengerbund has a most thor
ough way of organizing and rehearsing
the music, the director travelling from
one city to another throughout the
year and giving instructions. leading
the local choruses and assisting the
leaders to insure unison when the big
event takes place in Omaha.
This director. Mr.. Theodore Kelbe
Of Milwaukee, has made his last round.
His 1000 singers are ready and could
doubtless sing together without a
general rehearsal. But rehearse they
must, as the leaders never rest.
Such a chorus will be a musical
event in the west. and with the artists
and orchestra. i've grand concerts will
be given. each one different in char
acter.

COL. HARVEY w. SCOTT, EDITOR
OF THE PORTLAND OREGON.
IAN, PESSIusTIC IN HIS VIEWS
REGARDING GRAND OLD PARTY

Col. Harvey w. Scott, editor of the
Oregonian and one of the best known
newspaper men in the country, is at
the Savoy on his way home from the
meetings of the Newspaper Publish
ers' association and Associated Press,
says the Seattle Times.
Colonel Scott is a Washingtonian
having lived until he was Is years
old in Shelton, Mason county. He
walked most of the way to a school
in Oregon, and after graduating en-
tered newspaper work. Colonel
Scott Joined the Oregonian staff in
the days when printers shook dice
about the stone for stock. 1t is
largely through his efforts as editor
and stakeholder that the Oregonian
has been recognized as one of the
foremost newspapers of the country.
"The republicans will lose control
of the house of representatives at
the coming election, and two years
from now the opposition-it will not
be the old democratic party-will
elect majority of the senate, of the
house of representatives and the
president of the United States" said
Colonel Scott.
"Beveridge has no chance Of cleo
ton In Indiana because of factional
strife there, such as exists in Iowa.
Dolliver and Cummins, in Iowa, have
started anew the factional quarrels
in the republican fold. The result
will be that Iowa will vote in the
primaries for the Dolliver-Cummins
slate. but the democrats will elect
the congressman.
"The direct primary has created
and will continue to create factional
disputes which cannot be healed. All
is chaos in Washington and the day
of the republican party is about end

will mildly endorse President w. H.
Taft when he returns to America,
and that he will not be a candidate
