Four officers of the Swedish navy
have cuased great hubbnb in the
press Of Sweden and Norway. The
officers In question were hunting in
the mountains around Storlien, sta
ton near the boundary line, on the old
railway running across the peninsula
from Trondhjem to Sundsvall. A Lapp
living on the Norwegian side Of the
line, and himself a Norwegian subject,
Induced them to pursue some wolves
into the mountain districts on the Nor
wegian side. The local authorities
took the Swedish officers to be spies,
and the sheriff at Gudaa took their
rifles and grip, and also made them
pay fine of $27. The Swedes main
tain that the officers were hunting in
good faith, and that there was no
sense in the harshness with which
they We're treated by the Norwegians,
while the Norwegians are loath to
give UP the idea that they were spies.
Some Swedish newspapers show much
Ill feeling, and the position of the Nor
wegians in this trouble seems to be
weak one. -, g., -.

Dearly Nancy Lincoln loved the Bible, and
there were readings from the sacred book;
there was told the old, old story. And these
stories Lincoln never forgot. When, in after
life, he electrified the world by his eloquence,
his mastery of pure and perfect English and
his tempestuous oratory he retold the same
stories-the stories he heard at his mothers
knee.

among the scattered Inhabitants of the solitary
region. They began to prosper. But the life
had been toe hard for the tender, loving wife
and she sank under the burden
One day in October, 1878 as she lay in her
bed in the little cabin. she called her two chill
dren to her.
"She took the hands of Sarah and the thin.
serious-faced boy. BE good to one another, !"
she said, brokenly, with infinite tenderness.
Then she closed her eyes. The wonderful
smile deepened. The sunlight faded into even
ing, and little Abe, leaving Sarah kneeling by
the bed, crept away and climbed the pegs in the
wall to the garnet, where he flung himself on
the mattress of leaves.

Mr.. Smith has made a comprehen-
sive report on the standing timber of
the country, showing that three cor

ordinary five or six-room frame house
for each of the 100000 families in
the United States in 1900. Putting 1t

COURT PROCEEDINGS
ARE INSTITUTED
Minneapolis Resident Fighting
Seven Senator Bill

Minneapolis, April 26.-Charles r.
Fowler. who during the last session of
the legislature was a representative
from Hennepin county in the state
legislature, has filed suit in the Hen
nepin county district court asking
that julius A. Schmahl, secretary OF
state, be permanently enjoined from
''in any way recognizing senate file
$50 as a valid law"
Senate file $50 is the "seven sena.
tor" bill by which it is proposed to
limit the representation in the state
senate from big counties to seven
members.
The suit is brought by Representa-
tive Fowler as taxpayer. 1t sets out
the following reasons for the prayer
for the Injunction:
First-That the bill was transferred
fom the house to the senate while a
motion was pending in the house and
that it is, therefore, illegal.
Second-That the bill, not having
been signed by the governor, cannot
therefore. be legally submitted to the
voters.
The suit is based upon the allega
tion that the act is in contraventior
OF that part of the Constitution Of the
United States which grants free anc
equal representation. 1t sets forth
that c. r. Fowler, as taxpayer. ant
the county of Hennepin are deprived
of equal representation and that they
