BY this time there wasn't a family in
the village, nor for five miles around,
that wasn't taking sides, and society
was upset and the churches suffering.
Would be mediators had been to the
deacon and his reply was:
I'm sorry there is any trouble. but
can't let no widow run over me-
And when they had gone to the
widow, she said:
If you think am going to let any
old widower boss me around you are
sadly mistaken"
Both sides were waiting for the next
move, when the village was visited by
peddler of rat and mouse traps He
had a whole wagon load. AS he passed
from house to house he heard of the
quarrel, and when he had got to the
Widow Sharons and sold her two
traps, he sat down and said:
'I'm going to stop this rumpus be-
tween you and Deacon Horner. 1t
isn't right, and it isn't nice. You and
he ought to marry
"W-h-a-t!'
And the rat trap man called on the
deacon and said:
drop it! You are hurting yourself,
your church and the town. Court the
widow and marry her"
| "W-h-a-t!''
A seed had been planted, and it
wasn't four weeks before it sprouted.
After their first astonishment was
over the deacon began to speak well
Of her. and when he finally made an
excuse to call at the house, he was
pleasantly received. Within the year
there was marriage.
| "How in the world did that peddler
bring it about?" asked one Of another
Easy as pie: You have got to under

tories Of the prominent part taken by
the Scandinavians in the develop
ment Of the foremost European ma
tions-Russia, France and England
we see that they made sad mis-
take in SO easily surrendering their
language. Here is illustration Of the
fact that with the passing Of the Ian
guage, the nationality passes.
In the year 1000, Scandinavia had
a population Of 100000, Great Brit
ain 6,800,000 and Germany 18,000,-
900. Today there are in Scandinavia
100000 people, in Great Britain
45,O00,000 and i'll Germany 66,000,-
900. This proportionate loss for
Scandinavia is due to the fact that
the other countries preserved and de-
veloped the native tongue wherever
planted. Abroad, while the English
made sacrifice in early days, to main
tain their language, the Germans and
Scandinavians were Indifferent in the
matter. In eastern United States
the Swedes on the Delaware give fail
warning Of the same mistake being
made there. Will the Scandinavians
Of the Northwest, who apparently
now have the last chance of estab-
fishing their language in a foreign
land, be guilty of the same blunder
and that, too, where they have the
necessary liberty, wealth, education
and numbers for the purpose and a
re- awakened fatherland making lib.
eral contributions of new blood? Will
they, with open eyes, deliberately
blunder in this final opportunity? A
successful issue depends largely up.

schools, of the wishes Of the tax

SCANDINAVIANS AND GERMANS
FIRST TO MAKE CONVERTS
AMONG AMERICAN
HEATHEN.

The first work done by modern
Protestant foreign missions on the
American continent was among the
Eskimos of Greenland. The Eskimos
are a heather people scattered from
Greenland to Alaska. The Scandin-
avians were the first in this glorious
work. It was accomplished in the
Danish and Norwegian tongues.
Scandinavian was the first, and for a
long time the leading, civilized Ian
guage in America. Though the Sean
dinavians may themselves forget this
fact, the bright, intellectual Eskimos,
the aborigines of the New World in
the far North, will never forget. Ger
man Moravian missionaries from
Herrnhut, near Wittenberg with Lu-
theirs and Francke's spirit, later
joined with the Scandinavians in
Outstanding the Eskimos, another
instance Of the association of Scan
dinavians and Germans in the ear.
Hest American history. These his
toric languages gained a hold in the
period Of discovery and in evangelis-

as component parts Of the Englisl

Editor Willmar Tribune:
AS it may interest the readers Of

as to conditions here this fall. It is
not near as bad as / have seen it
painted in some Of the newspapers
from the States. We had lots Of
rain here during August and Sep
TENDER 50 it delayed the ripening
Of the crops and we had very late
harvest. But the crops are very
good. Oats is yielding from so to 80
bushels to the acre; barley, IS to SO,
and fall wheat has yielded as high
as IS bushels to the acre and spring
wheat from 25 to 40 bushels per
acre. There are some of the late seed
ed grains that were hurt by the frost,
but it can be used for feed. Pota-
toes yielded, a very big crop. I hal

The markets are comparatively
good. Wheat is worth from 60 to IS
cents per bushel; IS cents is the price
paid for most Of the spring wheat
and Is to 20 cents for fall wheat.
Barley is SOC and oats Csc to soc per
bushel. Hogs are at present $500
to $3.50 per hundred pounds live
weight. Spring chickens dressed are
l5c per pound and turkeys are 22c
per pound.
We had cold snap here the first
part Of November with a light snow
fall, nevertheless, the threshing ma
chimes have been humming every day.
Here is about one third Of the
threshing yet left to be done. But
very little blowing was done this fall,
not more than Is per cent at the
most. The coal strike does not
bother the people here as there is
plenty Of wood for fuel and yet some.

Dad Of grain to Willmar last Satur-

load of grain to Willmar last Satur-
day claimed that he did better here
by two grades than at Pennock, max
ing a difference Of five or six cents a
bushel. We believe that an impartial
investigation showing what has been
paid for grain at all stations along
the line at any certain day would
prove that there is nothing to this
talk, one market being way ahead of
the other. It is an easy matter to
talk and make assertions, but it is
different to prove it in cold figures.
