a circular to all pastors of the Church
OF Norway for the purpose of finding
out how many of them are in favor
of changing the present ordination
vow. There are two propositions. One
was made by Professor Ihlen, who
suggests the following form for the
vow: II promise to proclaim the
truth unto salvation which God has
revealed in holy writ, and which the
Lutheran church has appropriated and
testified to In its creeds." The other
form is identical with the form agreed
upon In Hamburg, Germany: Il
promise, as true servant of the
Evangelical Lutheran church, that !
will proclaim the gospel according to
Gods revelation In holy writ. and
Gods free saving grace in Christ"
When answers have been received
from the 500 ministers of the gospel
the theological union will send
proposition with regard to the matter
to the church department. which is
expected to take further steps.
An Englishman named Watson, who
has some canneries in Stavanger,
was about to buy some more can
neries in the same city. As soon as
this became generally known the peo-
pie made 1t plainly understood that
they did not want any more foreign
ers in that branch OF business. Mr..
Watson could afford to ignore this
sentiment. But those who are re-
sponsible for the management OF the
canneries already owned by him also
protested for fear that the public SEN
timent would injure the business If
aroused to certain pitch, and so
Mr.. Watson concluded that It would
perhaps be best for his interests to
acquire no more canneries in STAY
anger.

The following facts are used with
telling effect against the Liberal
parties during the present election
campaign. Some two years ago the
Society for the Defense of Norrland
planned the construction of strong
fort by means of private subscrip-
ton. SO that the government would
not be asked to make any outlay.
The outline of the plan was reported
to the cabinet. Nothing was done for
many months. Then the cabinet was
reminded of the matter and asked to
reject or indorse the plan. The min
lister of war explained that at any
rate the matter was of such a nature
as to require absolute secrecy. Then
the matter was put to rest again.
The Staff cabinet dropped out few
weeks ago. and now the secret has
been broken to the public In order
to show up that cabinet, and Incl.
dentally the parties behind it, as a
highly unpatriotic body. The papers
relating to the matter were left at
the Office of the minister Of war, Da-
vid Bergstrom, when he resigned with
the other members of the Staaff cabi-
net.

A BIT OF A SHOCK
6y n. M. EGBERT.

0y 6106ubs
Rittenhouse looked up from his
work impatiently as the sound OF
voices came to his ears. But even an
author at work is not proof against
the merry laughter Of girls. Ritten'
house frowned. pursed his brows. ana
then laid down his pen and looked out
Of the window.
He had rented two rooms In little,
old.fashioned town for the summer
months. 50 as to be at leisure to COM
plete the book on which he was en-
gagged. without the distractions Of city
life. But those girls in the third or
fourth garden would play croQuet-or
was 1t basket ball!-and laugh over
their game. He could not see any
thing Of their garden because Of the
row Of high elm trees that intercepted
the view.
They're Judge Sanford's daughter
and niece" said Mrs. Briggs. his land
lady. You're sure to meet them be-
fore long Everybody meets every.
body here"
Rittenhouse was resolved that he
would know nobody. He was fond
enough Of company. but there was the
book clamoring for his undivided at
tention.
"A hit, May! A hit!" called one Of
the girls.
Rittenhouse turned back from the
window and sat down. His heroine
had to be got out Of difficulty into
which her own folly had led her. 1t
was nice problem. He was puzzled:
he frowned again and then took up
his pen.
Swish! He sprang to his feet with
an exclamation Of pain and clapped
his hand to his left shoulder. To his
amazement he found an arrow stick
ing there-a genuine arrow, with a
feathered shaft and sharp point that
had pierced his coat and stood CULVER
ing in his shoulder. A tiny drop OF
blood was oozing over the lapel.
Rittenhouse plucked 1t out with a
grimace and took off his coat. It had
made quite wound, which was bleed

come through the open window. 1t

by some malevolent power, had passed
through the elm branches and found
its billet in his shoulder.
We'll, May certainly has made a
hit" muttered Rittenhouse.
His first impulse was to break the
thing in two and throw 1t away, but
on second thoughts he put it in q
drawer Of his desk. That incident
ended his work for the morning. by
the time he had washed his wound his
shoulder was stiffening and paining
him a good deal.
AS fate willed 1t, that was the day
he was to meet the Judge and his
family. Rittenhouse was on his way
back from the post Office when he ran
into Mrs. Briggs. who was standing
beside the Judges buggy. in which the
Judge sat, and the two girls.
"Mr. Rittenhouse!" she called. and
Rittenhouse crossed the street unwill-
ingly.
Judge Sanford. this is Mr.. Ritten'
house, about whom was speaking TO
YOU" she said. Miss May, let me
present Mr.. Rittenhouse. Miss Olive
Sanford, Mr.. Rittenhouse."
Miss May was q blonde: Miss Olive

iva az her cousin. In fact. when Kit
tan house had looked once into Miss
Mays eyes he suddenly decided that
he was not 30 much averse from
feminine society as he supposed.
He left her, in fact, with a certain
fiuttering of the heart which he had
hitherto supposed existed only IN
books, and with some new and real
istic ideas for his love passages.
That was the beginning Of an &C.
ouaintance which played havoc with
his work Days sped into weeks, and
the gossips Of the town began to NOD
their heads significantly whenever
Rittenhouse and the Judges daughter
were mentioned.
Sometimes, when he was alone. Rit-
tenhouse would take the little arrow
out of the drawer and gaze at 1t and
behave in an absurdly sentimental
manner which, if anyone had sug-
gested it to him few weeks before,
he would have denounced as bad art.
He would never forget those after
