What Is Ludefisk =?

1t is not necessary to tell any of
our scandinavian friends what lude-
fisk is, but to a native born it has
long been a curiosity to know some
thing of the large piles of dried fish
found in many of the stores near to
holiday times. More than forty mil
lion pounds are now stored in Min
neapolis, and being prepared for the
holiday trade. Minneapolis is the
big ludefisk center of the United
States, and the soaking season is now
on.
Caught off the coast of Norway, the
fish is dried to the stiffness and hard
ness of lumber and thus is shipped to
Minneapolis. 1t requires two weeks
of soaking in immense watts before
the fish are ready to be sent out to
the retailers, and one pound of dried
fish makes five pounds of the soaked
product, which retails at 6 cents a
pound, about one-fourth the price OF
turkey. The fish is much used as a
holiday dish in the northwest.

The Average Man or Woman.

After all it is the average men and
women to whom the world is most in
debted. Standing separately not one
person may seem to amount to much,
but taken together as mass the
power of the average is well seen. 1t
is the average men that work in mills,
till the soil, sail the ocean, form arm
les, and it is the average woman that
keeps house, and looks after the well
fare and happiness of the home. II
the average person can never be a
genius, he is none the less intelligent
and useful for he takes up the duties
of each day and faithfully performs
them, and in all this he is contribut-
ing to the common good.-Apling-
ton News.

Twas there the frenzied man was seen
With hopeless. troubled face.
The stranger man would fain begone
From him of haggard eye:
Besides. the aisle was crowded with
The folks who would go by.
"I pray thee" said the stranger man,
go chase myself from me-
"Ah. SIR" the other man implored-
A woeful wight was he.
GA tortoise comb. pair of skates.
A whole carload OF toys,
Some things beside for all my friends,
And for their girls and boys.
"And here l am; and ] am here
The things-oh where are they?
For male and female clerks conspira
To hide from me tine way.
But this / know. and this alone;
Three aisles across, then back,
Four counters down, one counter up,
Then double on your track.
1.-THE elevator takes you next,
To land you otherwheres.
And when you weary OF it's crowd,
You amble down the stairs.
Dut btlii-DuI SILL, my honest ITlenQ,
You do not reach the goal
''Tis always 'on the other side,'
1t is, upon my soul!
$50 here am I, and I am here.
And you are standing by.
II care not where the things may be.
But where the deuce am II"
They led him to an ambulance,
Although he did resist.
And now In padded cell he cons
His Christmas shopping list.
He shrieks upon the midnight clear.
And on the MONDAY air:
Three aisles across, two counters bsak,
!! Then up and down the stair!'
Oh. foolish men. take heed Of this,
Before you 60 to shop,
And when you reach the outer door.
Tear UP your list and stop.
