DENMARK.

At the recent parish election in Lok-
ken-Furreby. the wife Of the inn-keeper
at Lokken did not take the trouble to
vote on the dangerous principle that
zone vote either way will make no
odds" But the tickets of the "wets'
and the "drys" were equal, and by
casting lots the prohibitionists won the
day. The result OF this compelled the
authorities to call an election to de-
eide whether liquor license should
be granted to said inn. The parish
went dry" and the inn will lose its
license. What does this mean? The
very practical meaning is, that the inn
win lose about $4,000 because the wife
of the inkeeper did not take the trou-
BILE to vote.
Some fishermen at Vendsyssel came
across huge Goldfish lying helpless on
the surface of the water, and they
picked him up without any trouble
Upon investigation they found that he
had swallowed wolffish that stuck in
his throat, so that he could not get the
big meal neither up nor down. The
Goldfish weighed 81 pounds.
Miss Laura Haslund, of Copenhagen,
provided in her will that her estate,
which is worth 100000, shall consti-
'tute permanent foundation for the
benefit Of needy women.
A sudden and violent fire sprang up
in the city of Gentofte, and in a short
time fifteen Of the Oldest houses in the
city were reduced to ashes. About $50
persons were rendered homeless.
Most of the sufferers were people of
moderate means. and the insurance Of
the property is not worth mentioning.
The homeless people were taken to
the Gentofte hotel and cared for at
the expense of the city. The fire was
started by six-year-old boy. who was
to build fire in the chimney, his moth
er being sick bed so that she could
not do it, and the job was really too
much for him. The neighbors carried
out the sick woman in time to save her
life.

PROVERBS BROUGHT TO DATE
Unlike Those Generally Known, but

A man with small feed hideth them

Why doth the virgin rejoice? Why

Enthusiastic is women's praise of q
passable damsel; yea, they lift up
their voice continually, saying, 10, she

The shop damsel extolleth her
wares, saying, Lo. myself wear this

To a clever woman, man without

and as for the timid one who obeyeth
her, 10, she sendeth him upon errands.

Mai r. w. McClaughry. who has
been warden of the federal prison at
Leavenworth for fourteen years. re-
signed his position few days ago.
He is seventy-four years old.
Discussing his treatment Of pr.s-
oners, the major said: "The question
of proper Imprisonment resolves itself
simply to this: Is II better to beat q
man through his prison term and turn
him out a criminal. or make him do
good. honest work, and keep his mind
on of mischief and endeavor to re-
