Home-brewed beer has of late
gears, says Harold Simpson in his
recently published ''Rambles in Nor
way" largely displaced spirits as the
national drink of the Norwegians. 1t
is so popular that it is used even at
breakfast to wash down the stock
dish-fried pork smothered in on
ions. The first sight of a Norwegian
breakfast table, adds the author, is
apt to astound one. 1t is covered
with small dishes, principally fish
fresh fish, smoked fish, fish in tins,
fish in miniature barrels; there are
also cold meats, and an endless vari-
ETY. of cheeses, Of which the Norwe-
gians are very fond. tssrFs ~

the village carpenter was ignorant.
When the first warm spring days
came Aunt Patsy began her work
on the unique beehive. For two
weeks she labored, cutting and CHS
cling the hard wood with rare skill
and patience BY aud by it became
apparent that the side Of the hive
facing the turnpike was taking on
the semblance Of, a human face.
Aunt Patsy smiled grimly when
Craig leaned over the fence one
night and asked her whose portrait
she was carving.
"Its the face Of the man Pm
goin' to marry she said.
"That report spread rapidly and
thereafter Aunt ratsy's open-air stu
'dio was thronged with people anx-
ious to discover through the Inca
ments Of the sculptured face some
clew to the identity of the intended
husband. / don't know anything

isn't an artist in New York who
could bring his work so near to COM
pletion that it would require but q
few finishing touches to produce a
most striking likeness, and yet keep
people in the dark as to who the
model was. But that was what
Aunt Patsy did. One day when the
twilight came Aunt Patsy laid aside
her chisels and the crowd went home
as much at sea as ever as to whom
she intended to marry. The next
morning there were a few def
touches and we saw before us, as il
in life, the squirting eyes, the far
ing ears, the high forehead and The

Ralph began to initiate him into
the pleasures of life. Among
other things, he inspired him with
a passion for motor cars. A
strange fancy in an old man-but
we lawyers are used to these
strange streaks in human nature.
"They were on an automobile
tour when the accident occurred.
The car. ran into ditch some
where along the boundary be-
tween two SITES of the middle
west, and both men were killed.
Witnesses proved that the father
died instantly, while Ralph Brent
lived just ten minutes longer than
his father.
"That was where | came into
the story. For the will was so
drawn that if the father died first
all the property-valued at about
six millions-went to the son of
his heirs. As there were no heirs
this meant that some distant rela-
tives would inherit it. If the elder
son died first the will became null
and void, and the property went
to Jack, who was then ranching
in California. His wife had made
him a successful man in a small
way-but l wanted her to get the
money with all my heart. And

arming citizens of the United States in
that district.

Washington, April 15.-Warning
was issued yesterday by the United
States to the Mexican government, as
we'll as to General Pascual OroZco,
chief of the revolutionary forces,
that
The United States demands that
American life and property within the
republic of Mexico be justly and ade-
quately protected, and that this gov
ernment must hold Mexico and the
Mexican people responsible for all
wanton or illegal acts sacrificing or
endangering American life or damag-
ing American property or interests.
TO EXACT STRICT ACCOUNTING.
The attitude of the United States
as expressed to both the federal and
rebel authorities is that any maltreat-
ment of American citizens will be
deeply resented by the American gov
ernment and people and must be fully
answered for by the Mexican people. "
Acting Secretary Huntington Will
son of the state department, who yes
| terday issued special instructions to
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson at
the City of Mexico and Marion Letch-
er, American consul at Chihuahua
authorized the statement that inter
vention was not contemplated by the
United States.
Ambassador Wilson was ordered to
| communicate at once the views of the
United States to the Mexican minister
for foreign affairs and copy of his
instructions was likewise sent to Mar,
ion Letcher, American consul at Chi
huahua, with special representation
addressed to General Orozco.
Orozco recently refused to recog
nize Mr. Letcher as the American
consular representative, because the
United States withheld recognition o.
the rebel cause. The representation
of Orozco accuse him of 'practica
murder" of Thomas Fountain, al
American gunner, enlisted with th'
federals, but summafily executed las
week when taken prisoner by the in

TWO PERSONS ARE DEAD
IN NEBRASKA BLIZZARD

Hemingford, Neb.. April 15.-The
blizzard which ragged in northwestern
Nebraska Saturday afternoon and
through the night claimed at least one
victim and probably two. Mrs. Rich

to bring stock TO shelter. was lost in
the binding snow and her dead body
was found this morning not far from
her home. The child has not been
found, but II is feared he perished.
Richard Path, the husband, was at
Alliance proving up on a homestead.
The Paths lived 10 miles from here.
NeighboTs searched all night for the
woman and boy without result.
The blizzard was the worst ever ex-
perienced in this section at so late a
day in spring. and ranchmen were en-,
unprepared for 1t. The wind was of
almost hurricane force, driving a
heavy snow before IL, making it i'm,
possible TO see more than a few feet
ahead.
many houses were uuIOOleu anu
buildings damaged. Reports came in
today of stock in the open perishing.
The storm extended as far west as
Sheridan, Wyo., and eastward nearly a
hundred miles, where II was of less
severity. Snow fell throughout the
Black Hills, but there was an absence
Of the high wind. Ranchmen fear the
stock losses will be heavy, as cattle
we're turned out several weeks ago fol
forage, and we're without shelter.
