Serene and busy, meeting friend
and stranger alike with kindly serv-
ice, Mtssoula has enjoyed quiet, hap
py week; while over the telegraph
wires has come news of war with all
ITS cruelties, of murders and disasters
suffered by our fellow men.
The week has been full of laughter
IN Missoula, while in many another
town its dominant note has been sor-
3 row or horror.
In all the social functions OF the
week there has been evident a spirit
Of thanksgiving for harmony and hap
piness. Although it has become a ma
tional habit at this season of the year
to count up personal and public
] blessings, it would seem that no one
! In all the length and breadth OF the
land has more reason for a grateful
heart than Missoulas womankind. So
much OF sweet hospitality in its
homes, so little of trouble and danger
has been the portion of this commu-
nifty, what wonder that it's daughters
are devoted to good works and pleas
antness?
The largest social affair Of the week
was Mrs. Tylar b. Thompson's de-
lightful reception in honor of the la
dies OF Fort Missoula, when this lit
tie coterie of ladies really belonging
to aMissoula society. though separated
by few miles of distance were in
troduced to those who had not al
ready the pleasure of knowing them.
Next week there will be sugges-
I tions Of Thanksgiving in the sales OF
cooked food offered by various church
organizations, the packing Of baskets
for those less fortunate than them-
selves by the Kings Daughters, and
then on Thursday the bountiful
Thanksgiving dinner at home for every
one who has home available. One
of the larger social gatherings will
be the Thanksgiving ball, given by
the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Ancient
Order of Hibernians in Elite hall
Thursday evening. but for the most
part the good times will be small
enough to make a comfortable home
party. #
Mrs. Thompson's Reception.
Several hundred ladies' were happy
to accept Mrs. Tylar B. Thompson's
invitation to meet the ladies from Fort
Missoula Wednesday afternoon, at her
home on East Front street. In the re-
ceiving line with Mrs. Thompson were
Mesdames Learnard, Sorley, Ruffner,
Wood, Won dem Bussche, Niche,
Mitchell, Lewis Ayers and Lyon. Mrs.
Kennon has not yet returned from
hunting trip with Colonel Kennon and
Mrs. Slaughter is i'll. 1t was a rare
pleasure for the Missoula ladies to be-
come better acquainted with the
charming group from the post and
they hope they may be able to con-
tinue this acquaintance. Those of
Mrs. Thompson's friends who assisted
her in making the guests comfortable

Did the Scandinavians Colombo
America in the 18th Century.

OlO luC oSdlAuAAo VAoAS SoAoAAAS
America in the 18th Century.
(By Jean Revel.)
Did the Scandinavians colenize the
New World from the eighth to the
ele venth century?
This question is still being widely
discussed, but the Affirmative answers
are becoming more umerou and con
vincing.
One part of the question has already
been ~proved-all the world now recog-
nizes that the Scandinavians as early
as the eighth century occupied the
Shetlands, the Farce Islands and Ice
land.
The voyage of Grim Kamban to the
Farce Island In 725, the colontzing OF
Iceland by Ingolf and Heriulf in SS5,
the occupation of these islands by the
Scandinavians, their photographic
union with the mother country-all
this is no longer contested; it is posi-
tive history.
Iceland in particular became to the
Scandinavian rae a most important
colony. l might almost say that Ice
land Is even more Scandinavian than
Norway, because alliances and in
vasions from other parts of Europe
have in Norway quickly changed the
pure ancestral race
This is so true that historians de-
string to study the habits, customs,
laws and literature Of Scandinavia
have always concentrated their efforts
on Iceland.
But what Is there to prove that the
Scandinayians knew Greenland and
nayigated the rivers of North Ameri-
ca?
First of all are the sagas, which tell
with considerable detail Of the ex-
peditions of Eric the Red, of Bjorn,
of Left, Of Thorxald, Thorinn and
Gudrida.
But" some will object, "these
sagas are fiction. They are Homeric,
Virgilian, Ossianlike legends"
This has long been the general be-
lief, but should be believed nc longer.
Helluland. MARYLAND, Vineland, Of
which these venerable tales speak,
describe accurately New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia and the shores of Massa-
chusetts.
The description OF the places where
Left landed exactly fits the land Of
Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod and
Mount Hope Bay.
The deeds OF Thorfinn are confirmed
by a Runic inscription still in exist
ence there under the name of Ding

would take up too much space. l

records affirm the tale.

W. WAN "AS
In support of my theory, may
finally remind of the testimony of
Christopher Columbus himself. In
1477 and the following years the
Genoese navigator made extensive
cruises in the waters OF Iceland.
What did he seek? The results of the
discoveries of the Normans.
1t was after his return from one OF
these cruises that he stated his belief
in the existence of a Western con
tinent. He searched and did well so,
but he was too discreet, and in this
he was wrong.
"But," you may object, elf these
Norman American colonies have ex-
listed, how is it that they have dis
appeared? And how is it that all
memory of them has been lost?"
They were ruined by the fiscal and
centralizing policies of Queen Mar
garethe of Denmark, who placed upon
her head the triple crown OF Den
mark, Norway and Sweden. Short
sighted and greedy as they were, the
Scandinavian ministers in 1889 Great
ed government monopolies on navi-
CATION and colonization, and this
meant economic death to the proud
Vinelanders.
They refused to submit and went
into the interior Of the American
continent.

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft,s recent message
suggesting an amendment to the
Pure Food and Drugs law In it's re-
lation to Prepared Medicines, does
not refer to such standard medicines
as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
and Foley Kidney Pills, both OF which
are true medicines carefully COM
pounded of ingredients whose medi-
cinal qualities are recognized by the
medical profession itself as the best
known remedial agents for the diseas-
es they are intended to counterfeit.
For over three decades Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound has been a stan
dard remedy for coughs, colds and
affections Of the throat, chest and
lungs for children and for grown per-
sons, and it retains to day its pre-
eminence above all other preparations
of its kind Foley Kidney Pills are
equally effective and meritorious.

What 10 Electricity?

Man? persons young and old often
wonder how the modern electric cars,
trains and locomotives are operated
and what electricity is. No one knows
what electricity is. We know some Of
the things that it will do. We have
to a certain extent learned how to con.
troll it and for want of better name
call it q fluid. We have discovered.
too, that it is one of the most impor-
tant forces, If not the most important
force, of which we have any knowl-
edge. We are almost as ignorant OF
many other great forces of nature-as,
for example. the attraction Of gravita-
ton. For the present we must be con-
tent to observe such forces In action
and to devise the best methods to con-
troll them. In this knowledge mankind
has progressed wonderfully within a
few years.-St. Nicholas.

Fishina Without Bait.

On the Nad0o creek, at Hukow. we
saw a novel way of fishing. Two
small boats were moving parallel with
each other about thirty feet apart.
The ends Of line about sixty feet
long to which small undated hooks
were attached about four inches apart
to two sticks were held respectively
by a man in each boat. AS the boats
moved slowly along first one man and
then the other would give his stick
Jerk. Immediately that the hooks
struck anything the line was gradu-
ally hauled in and Invariably with
success. We saw fish struck four out
Of five times. many Of them running
apparently from half a pound to two
or more pounds. 1t may be that Chi
ma is the only place in the world
where fish are caught with Undated
hooks.-North China News.
