Sons Of Norway Entertained

Some time ago Mayor Stiles of
the city of River Falls rendered the
use of the city park of that city to
the Sons of Norway of the city of
Hudson for their annual picnic. The
society accepted the offer and held
their picnic at that place last Sun
day. Several hundred people Of
Hudson took the morning train for
the Falls and spent the day as River
Falls guests, returning in the eve
ming. A large number from neigh
boring places took advantage of this
opportunity of enjoying the hospi-
tally of River Falls.
Every person who spent the day
at the Falls voices the same senti-
ment, that the citizens of that city
did everything that was possible to
make the day pleasant and enjoyable
for all who came. The Commercial
Club served delicious coffee free TO
all, and not only did they do this,
but the members of the club spent
the day in seeing that the guests
were taken care of and that all were
having good time.
The members of the Valkyrien
lodge of the Sons of Norway of Hud-
son and their friends who partici-
pated in the picnic last Sunday fail
to find fitting words to express their
appreciation of the kind and neigh
borly treatment received at the hands
of the citizens of our sister city,
River Falls, through its Mayor, the
Commercial Club, and Mr.. Michel
son, cigar manufacturer, for free
cigars.
The River Falls park is an ideal
spot Of nature, with its beautiful
glen, it's lovely drives, inspiring
trees, and it's fine water. The Park
is provided with a commodious
pavilion, a log cabin kitchen and
numerous seats and swings. Here
one cannot help but enjoy himself
and find relief from the busy world.
Here's to you, River Falls, may
your reward be prosperity.

T. A. WALBY, Sec'y.

A SpIendid Optimist.

Scott Bond, a rich Arkansas planter,
said at TIE recent convention OF the Ma
tional Negro Business League, in New
York:
"The open places are the places for
you, the farm lands. You wont be sick
out there, and the ground will love you
like brother.
81 am an optimiSt for my farm brother.
know he must succeed. And he will
succeed. And any argument you bring
against his success | can answer opti-
miStically. In fact Pm like Calhoun
Washington, who said bravely, TO matter
what misfortune happened, "Well, il
might have been worse" "
"But the deacon thought he'd get the
best OF the optimist, Calhoun, so he said
to him one day:
"T had a dreadful dream one night las
week. thought saw the bad place
There was a great lake OF boiling, blazing
pitch, and we all were swimming in it
you and |, and all our friends, and wher
we'd get near the shore and try to clint
out, inps with horns and tails would jab
red-hot pitch forks in our faces"
lowell, well, said Calhoun. Hethought
a moment, then he added: But it might
have been worse, eh?'
How might it have been worse, you
fool?' shouted the deacon, angrily.
Why said Calhoun, 1T might have
been true"

millions, Common Term.

We think and do things in millions
these days, and should the present rate
ofprogresS continue in matters both Scien-
tific and commercial, the Immediately sue
ceeding generations will employ billions.
1t is therefore of interest to try to real
ize lust what the word million means,
the significance of which is really hard TO
grasp, even though we are accustomed
lightly 10 employ the term.
1t has been estimated that 100000
persons assembled in crowd, with due
allowance of, say, three square feet a
persons, would cover an area OF 6S.S
acres, or, to put it more conveniently, let
us say 70 acres; or it could be contained
in a square having sides 5776y yards long.
Or. again, allowing lSinches to each per-
son, standing shoulder TO shoulder, ,OOO,-
600 individuals world extend distance
of 2S4.l miles.
The population of London amounts,
roughly speaking, TO $4,000. Allowing
IS inches to each person, shoulder to
shoulder, this human aggregation would
constitute wall $50 miles long, or the
population of the British city might be
placed on an area Of OF square mile, or
on a square having sides Of 0.S4 mile.
One million building bricks, if piled
carefully together so as to form a cube,
could be contained in one whose sides
were 1913 feet, or, say, 40feetlong, allow
ing I6 bricks to the cubic foot, laid with
out mortar; or 100000 bricks can be
represented by wall 6feet high, 9 inches
thick and &c miles long.
In astronomical calculation it IS most
difficult to grasp the meaning OF millions
of miles, but some idea in this connection
may be gathered from the statement OF
the time that would be consumed by an
express train or the shot from cannon
to cover celestial space.
Now, the distance from the earth to the
sun is about 92,OOO,OOO miles, and light
travelling from the solar luminary comes
to us at the rate OF 1S6, 700 miles a second
1t traverses this distance in eight and
one-forth minutes, but railway train,
proceeding at 90 miles an hour, would
take 175 years to cover the distance to
the sun.
The circumference Of the ellipSe form
ing the orbit of the earth round the sun
is about 577, ,76O,OOO miles in length, and
the earth covers this distance in 365l-
days, travelling at the rate ofo5,9lO miles
an hour, or ! ,O98 miles a minute, or nearly
LOO times as fast as a train going at one
mile minute. 1t is therefore clear that
a train proceeding at this speed would
require nearly ! 100 years to accomplish
the Journey around the earth'S orbit.

0ermiclde For Internal Use.

Prof. II. c. Carel, of the University OF
Minnesota, for many years head OF The
department OF medical chemistry and toX-
Zoology and chemist to the Minnesota
State Board OF Health, has discovered
chemical that will revolutionize the war
fare upon germ life, arch enemy OF the
human system, and bring success in cases
where the physician heretofore has been
baifIed.
Professor Carel has had exhaustive
tests made by leading psychologists,
and their reports have more than borne
out his assertions.
The new chemical which he calls be-
netol, is eight times as strong as carbolic
acid, and yet is not a poison. Never be-
fore have physicians been able 10 give
doses OF any dlsinfectant in sufficient
strength TO kill germs.
Professor Carel, in speakingoi the new
chemical, said
81 am so confdenti in benetol that am
willing to submit myself to cholera infee-
ton to prove that il can be successfully
treated with my discovery. II may be
difficult for the lay mind TO realize the
great benefits ot a powerful germieide
which can be taken internally. II means
that internal infection can be arrested just
as effectually by its use as external infee-
ton has been in past by old agents.
"As further illustration In another
way, suppose soldier, parched with
thirst after battle, came upon pool OF
stagnant water in which the deadly ty-
phus germ was present by millions. lie
might dip his cup full Of that germ poison
and by adding one drop OF this new
chemical that water would become harm
less and would instantly change from
germ poison to beneficial medicated
drink"

Waiting For a Wife.

"There'S romance for you," said little
BinkS, putting aside his morning paper.
"This paper has a story OF college pro-
fessor who met a beautiful girl twenty
years ago, fell in love with her at FIRST
sight and then lost sightof her altogether.
Now, after waiting for twenty years, he
is rewarded by leading her to the altar as
his bride. Just think ofit, waiting twenty
years for wife !"
"What Of it ?" asked the genial philos-
opher. "There's nothing extraordinary
about that. I've waited thirty-five years
for mine"
you? Waited thihy-fiye years2 Why,
Thought you'd been married that long!"
said little BinkS.
81 have" ." said the genial philosopher.
"Thats how know how long I've wait
ed. I've waited for her TO get her gloves
on about three years. I've waited for
her to change her hat about four years.
I've waited while she said just one last
word 10 the cook for at least five years.
I've waited upstairs, I've waited down
stairs, I've waited at church, I've waited
at the theater, and | have waited in cabs
omnibuseS. takes, motorcars and the
Lord knows what else besides. Fact is,
Blnksy, I've waited so long, so often and
so regularly that between you and me
that little college professor Of yours with
only one wait Of twenty years strikes me
as a miserable little piker."

True ValOr.

Courage is resistance TO fear, mastery
of fear-not absence of fear." ."-Pudd'n-
head Wilson in The Century.
When, in 1862, went into Company B,
I'd Virginia Regiment, Stonewall Brigade,
as private, and was marched to Har-
per's Ferry, one OF my fellow-privates
was lohn P E OF the same
company. He was a plain, hard-work-
ing young carpenter, and day or two
before had married a pretty young wife.
Jackson'S brigade never had much play
or rest, and when the first battle came
they were in it, and so on TO the Apo
mattoX. John P was not one Of
those rare heroes who "didn'tknow what
fear was" He knew very well, but al
ways met it face TO face. He said he was
always scared to death" in battle, but
he had a curious way OF showing ii.
When the battle was joined, and blood
and ruin were everywhere, then, where
ever the front rank OF danger and fighting
was in his regiment, there was John
P, with shaking legs, pale face, and
tears running down his cheeks, ready TO
advance with the first, and staying with
the last that retreated Then and there,
without shout or boast, firing steadily, he
did his duty until the last shot had been
fired. When picket duty demanded
special reliability he was sent. He might
have moaned inwardly, but he never tried
to escape. Once Il was captain then ,
when he was complaining OF his own
cowardlce, | said tC him: "lf you are
half as afraid 70 battle as you say you are,
how can you keep from running away ?
| couldn't"
"Why, captain" he replied, "do YOU
think I'd disgrace that little wife left at
home for half dozen such 'ornary'
lives as mine ?"
"Well, John, if all of General Lees
army were such towards as youare, we d
capture Washington and end the war this
campaign, was all that could answer.
Iohn p and his wife survived the
war, and they have houseiul OF children.
He is Just as faithful and trustworthy in
peace as he was in war, leading quiet
and respected life. When think OF his
constitutional infirmity, and of the sense
of duty and manly courage which con-
quered If, | feel that no braver man ever

Down To Sleep.

November woods are bare and still,
November days are clear and bright;
Each noon burns up the mornings chill
The mornings snow is gone by night;
Each day my steps grow slow, grow light
As through the woods reverent creep.
Watching all things lie down to sleep"
/ never knew before what beds.
Fragrant TO smell and soft to touch,
The forest sits and shapes and spreads;
never knew before how much
Ofhuman sound there is in such
Low tones as through the forest sweep
When all wild things lie down TO sleep.
Each day find new cOyerlids
Tucked in, and more sweet eyes shut tight;
Sometimes the viewless mother bids
Her ferns kneel down full in my sight
hear their chorus OF Goodnight =
And half smile and half weep,
Listening while they lie down TO sleep.
November woods are bare and still,
November days are bright and good;
Lies noon burns up LIES morning chill;
Lies night rests feet which long have stood !;
Some warm, soft bed in field or wood
The mother will not fail 10 keep,
Where we can lay us down TO sleep.

editor, "is Jupiter inhabited2"

truthful answer.
Presently he was interrupted again.
"Father are there any sea serpents2"

The little fellow was manifesuy cast
down, but presently rallied and again
approached the great source Of infoma-
ton. "Father. what does the North Pole

But alasl again the answer, ~ don't

with whitening emphasis, "Father, how
