N0PENHAGEN, the capital of Den
~ mark and general receiving sta
ton for north pole discovery re,
ports, Is not seriously infested with
American tourists, owing to the 1aeJ
that it Is hard to impress anyone IN
this country with awe by talking about
Copenhagen.
There is also another reason, however.
Copenhagen does not advertise itself
skillfully. 1t is in the center of the
greatest egg and butter country OF
Europe and fresh eggs can be secured
an winter long at very low prices. II
tins TACT were to be iudiciOuslv disclosed
IN America, the Danes would have to
install steamer line direct to this
country to take care OF the rush from
New York.
Copenhagen is a city of half a million
people, only very few of whom are
birthday and there Is nothing mOnOt-
onous in its history. 1t began business
ON a small island, gradually spreading
20 Others until 1t covered an entire archI-
pelago,. and spent most of its spare cash
Tor bridges. Whenever any northern
power from HOO to 1900 ran out of
cGgher enemies it attacked Copenhagen.
me city has been bOmbarded by SWedes,
o2Gons, NOrwegians. Germans, Dutch
ana English, but has always been found
afterward.
Copenhagen runs largely to bridges,
1I( galleries and ThOrvaldsen statues.
1hQrValdsen was citizen of Copenhagen
ana whenever q public building was built
uurlng his life he carved up a bOatlOad
o. marble Tor its ornament. Hans Chris

is now q foreman. He has spent near
" 90 years as workman and foreman,
and as foreman he works as hard as
he ever did. He is able to say that
he has never ended a year without
some new savings in the bank. At
the end of nearly 20 years he finds that
his savings are considerable, enough
so that he feels fairly Independent. OF
course, he has helped his savings by
making a few good investments Such
opportunities are always to be found,
if man has a little money that he
can use for them. And one does not
have to drop very much into a savings
bank account each month for 20 years
to get ahead. Compound interest will
help materially for one thing. and then
there is the capital to invest wisely

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am q young man of IS and have
q stepfather. He expects me to stay
in the house in the evenings. After
~ OrkiuS all day, I think I should
have some liberty. Ny grandfather
was to take me to Atlantic City and
my Step-father said could not go j
rode oyer on my bicycle and told my
grandfather / could not go When my
step-father found out I had been over
to tell my grandfather he forbid me
using my wheel again. I could
name many cases where he has made
life unbearabIe for me in the past
nine years, and it is almost impossible
to endure it much longer. I told him
was going to go away and ne said
TO go ahead. Remington.
If you. at Is, are dependent on your
SrCpfather, he has the right to expect
obedience from you. Take my advice,
SO away. Perhaps the effort you VIII
have to make to support yourself wiz
give you better understanding of his
motives and of him.

STATEMENT.
Il went to the house and was figur-

and saw there was no one at the house
and then I saw two men at water
trough they walked on to their work
and went to bed and slept till about
3 D. m reached the house in the at
ternOOn.
About 9 o'clock woman showed up
IN the door and lit match when I was
asleep at which took gun and point
ed II at her but did not make any at
tempt TO shoot her. and then I handed
her the gun, and awhile afterWard she
began to talk about me being IN the
house, so she told me to stay in over
rnat nlgnIs so did And she got out Of
bed and commenced to walk around
outside, and it made me think she was
going to report me to Clint.
$50 as she got in the buggy I took
the pistol and pointed 1T at her and
pulled the trigger which fired the gun
and was worrying after L did it Then
/ helped her to the bed and helped her
generally waiting on her. And she
asked me why did do that and I told
her about that reporting she was going
to do, so she said that she was sorry to
hear about that
she told me she would kill me f
she happened TO get her pistol but as
she did not have any in her hands made
no attempt OF any kind. So I was sorry
for doing that
Il would not have done that shoot
ing if she would not have walked
around the house that night I would
be away from the house when she told
me TO go, but she had me scared all of a
sudden and pulled the trigger and
fired at her Then L took the buggy
and left Clint the same night for FL

tloafcd for mile. At a place where
the shore seemed closer to him he
let go of the providential life pre-

of strength, swan to the shore.
After resting for short time, he

Almost overcome by his injuries, he

heroic workers.
For about four years Mr.. KILN
was almost an invalid. Mr.. Gilber,
