Fart OF q teacner report TO the par
fish council Of Them read as follows:
AN especially remarkable case has
been observed in Marius, the son of s.
2. Christensen, who has not attend
ed school for three months. To lay
men he seems to be as sound as oak.
He works. rides the bicycle, etc. with
out being troubled by his disease in
the least. But according to Doctor
-, II the boys father quoted him
correctly. the boy must be treated now
in order not to contract tuberculosis
80 years hence. Who would imagine
that there could be such great proph-
ct IN Silkyeborg?" The doctor claimed
that these remarks were defamatory,
and sued the teacher. But the court
exonerated the teacher. In a literal
sense the report was libelous. But
being an official report to superiors ex-
clusively, with regard to a delinquent
pupil. it did not exceed the limits of
legitimate utterances. and therefore
was not punishable according to law.
Anders Magnus Svendsen of Tyl-
strip Is ninety-three years old. Some
ten or twelve years ago his eyesight
began to fail, and for five years he
could not see enough to tell the diff
terence between day and night. He
could be seen tottering around the
house, which he never dared to leave.
About four months ago his eyesight
began to return without the use OF
any remedy whatever. and he has i'm
proved so fast that he can walk alone
In the woods and fields and do some
light work. He can see the pictures
in the newspapers, but cannot dis
tinguish the letters. He explains
that he can see about as well in day
light as an ordinary person can see
in bright moonlight.
Report from the statistical bureau
indicate that the crops will be rather
below the average this year. Winter
grain and legumes look fairly well,
but the spring grain and buckwheat
are poorer. The root crops are doing
pretty well, but the indications are
not above the average. The hay crop
Is light everywhere, but the quality Of
the hay Is good.
A violent rainstorm swept the whole
country July s. Rev. Knudsen OF
Korby and his son were both killed
by lightning while standing in
the orchard of the parsonage Many
farm buildings were struck by light
ming and burned to the ground. The
rain came just in time to save the
crops from being dried up.
The population of Denmark July
was 2.s90.000 The increase for the
year was $1,000. This large increase
was due to the reduction of emigra-
ton on account of the war.

Changes In Auto Laws.

the distribution of the license moneys.

exactly as 1t was. IS per cent TO the
county OF origin. end % per cent to
the state highway fund, all to be used
for highway purposes outside Of cities

cost of administration of the law is
deducted
One OF the new laws provides the.
any person who drives an auto vehicle
on a public highway while intoxicated
shall be subjected to fine not to ex-
coed 800 or to imprisonment from
five days to three months.
Another act provides that a garage
keeper who keeps posted conspicuous
ly fee bill, may have a lien on any
auto vehicle left to be cared for. 1t
is practically the same as the hotel
keepers lien.
The speed limit law was amended
TO forbid driving faster than eight
miles per hour through the grounds
OF any county OF state hospital or poor
farm.
Cities and villages are given author.

automobile traffic not in conflict with

given the right to exceed the speed

Transccnding Lies Tragedy
