The FLAG Of Denmark.

In the year 1919 King Waldemar of
Denmark, when leading his troops to
battle against the Livonians, saw, or
thought he saw, a bright light In the
form Of cross in the sky. He held
this appearance to be promise Of
divine aid and pressed forward to vic
tory. From this time he had the
cross placed on the flag of his country
and called it the Dannebrog- is,
the strength of Denmark. Aside from
legend there is no doubt that this flag
with the cross was adopted by Den
mark in the thirteenth century and that
at about the same date an order,
known as the order Of Dannebrog. was
instituted. to which only soldiers and
sailors who were distinguished for
courage were allowed to belong. The
flag of Denmark, a plain red banner
bearing on it a white cross. is the old
est flag now in existence For 300
years both Norway and Sweden were
united with Denmark under this flag.

form long prickly chain, round in
appearance and about three feet in d.

woven to a length of half a mile
When the chain is complete all the
men of that particular village turn
out en- masse with their "paopaos," or
Samoan canoes.
When the tide is high the chain is
stretched across some convenient
place, supported by natives in their
paopaos or simply wading where
the shallowness will permit The CO.
coanut seine is then submerged and
slowly forced shoreward, the prickly
points driving the fish before them.
When the point is reached where the
chain can rest upon the bottom and
still protrude slightly from the water
the natives after securing the ends to
the beach retire and wait for the tide
to recede. leaving the fish high and
dry.
It is often found that large fish are
driven and caught in this manner,
but since they are capable Of jumping
the barrier they are dispatched with
spears at once. The catches OF fish
thus made are sometimes enormous
and often number thousands.-Los An

Where School Houses and Good Roads
Are in Evidence is Desira-
bic Place to Locate.

Charles Keith and Ira Stanley re-
Gently returned from an automobile
tour of the northern part of Mile
Laos county and portions of Aitkin
and Kanabec counties. The weather
was favorable and the roads, as a
rule, in fair condition, consequently
the trip was most enjoyable. Mr..
Keith says that after leaving Wahkon
and proceeding northeast they noticed
that a great many new farms were
being opened up, this was especially
noticeable in the towns of East Side
and Lakeside. While many new
settlers we're met, many were found
who had been there from ten to fifteen
years.
The town of Seavey in Aitkin
county appeared to be developing
very rapidly. Numerous farms are
being opened up and various i'm
provements instigated. A fine, new,
modern school house was noticed in
the northeast corner of section 80 of
this township. The roads we're all on
section lines and we'll constructed.
One piece of road is now under con-
struction, a strip four rods wide and
four miles long has already been cut
and corduroyed, which will extend
through the town of Seavey to Nc
Grath, a station on the 500 line.
Teams and men are fast bringing this
road to completion.
The return trip was made from
Wahkon by way of Mora. When the
west line of Kanabec county was
reached a few miles of road we're en-
countered extending as far east as
Hillman, upon which "the improve
ment committee" had done consider
able work. The sod had been scra ped
from the sides of the roads and thrown
into the center, making a road,
heretofore very fine, most rough and
disagreeable, to say the least.
Crops all along the way appear to
have suffered markedly from the
drought. No more rain has fallen
there than i'm this neighborhood.
Mr.. Keith relates a rather amusing
incident which occurred in the wilds
fof Aitkin county. While passing
along the road they overlook a young
boy, probably II years old, whom
they asked to ride. He soon informed
them that this was not only his first
ride in an automobile but the first
machine he had ever seen, he had
however seen a picture of one once.
He thoroughly understood the crop
and political situations but after some
moments of silence observed that,
IAN automobile must cost most a
| million dollars.'

The Wolves and the Meat.

which one has not. but l had reason
to change my opinion the other day."

"a keeper tossed four pieces of meat
into the den of two gray wolves. One
piece landed on the roof of the shelter
house, and a wolf With lame fore leg
passed over the pieces on the ground.
and, standing on his hind legs. tried
and tried to get that on the roof. which
was just out Of reach. The other hun
cry wolf gave his attention to the
pieces on the ground and disposed of
all three. Going over to the house, he
shifted for moment and then sprang
upon the roof. ate the fourth piece and

THE BLACK HAND:
Origin Of tho Name of This Group Of
Daring Criminals.

Origin Of tho Name Of This Group Of
Daring Criminals.
According to the United States Sc
cret service. the Black Hand is a title
common to innumerable groups of
criminals operating under the direction
Of some secret central government.
These men are blackmailers, using
murder, arson, kidnapping and bomb
throwing as punishments for those
who will not submit to their Ubiquitous
demands. Black Hand is, in short,
handy name for a brand of crime Pc
culiar to Italian criminals who are sue
cessful in it because of the tempera-
ment Of the foreign immigrants and
their Unborn dread Of the extortionist.
Whether the central government which
guides the Black Hand society is To-
Gated in the United States or in Italy
is something which neither the Italian
nor American authorities can discover.
United States officers say the name Of
the American Black Hand emanated
from Chicago about ten years ago,
when one of the first Of many mystic
rious murders in the Italian quarter
remained unsolved. The victim Of the
murder had received warning that
death would follow his failure to con-
tribute a specified sum Of money. The
letter was embellished with crude
drawing representing a fist clutching a
dagger. The fist and dagger gave the
name Black Hand-later to become I'M
pleasantly familiar to every citizen of
the country-and the sinister sketch
was soon source Of terror to all law
abiding 1talians.-Wide World Maya

Paddle Close to the Shore,

There is no use of attempting to
disguise the fact that a serious con-
dition confronts the people of this
vicinity. Tame and wild hay and
small grains will not average more
than Is per cent; potatoes will not be
worth digging unless rain falls within
the next few days, and at best there
will not be so per cent yield; even
corn is beginning to show the effects
of the long continued drouth and
blistering weather. During resi-
dence of IS years in Minnesota we
have never known of less propitious
season. We are not an alarmist, but
it behooves people to keep close to
the shore these times. The partial
failure of crops means corresponding
business stagnation.

They are becoming the pioneers, too,

to see further, and to hunt out new
