Ministerial Work too Heavy

1t is with sincere regret that we
learn of the resignation Of Rev. Fin
stad as pastor of the Lutheran church
The reverend gentleman has supplied
this parish as pastor for the past
nine years, aid during his staY among
us has made host of friends who re-
greet very keenly his decision to resign
Rev. Finstad felt that his duties as
pastor to the Utica, Freeman and Kick
apoo churches were all that he could
possibly look after, and this with the
added duties of holding English servic-
es in the local church, which request
had been made by members of the con-
gregation, conclude bis decision. Since
his pastorate at Soldiers Grove he has
been faithful and tireless worker, and
the raise in salary given him by the
other churches of which he is pastor is
well warranted. Soldier Grove Scout.

Captain Stodder.
The original log book of the famous
| Monitor, covering the period of her Ell
gagement with the Confederate iron
clad Merrlmac in Hampton Roads on
March 8, 1862. is preserved among the
historic records of the navy depart
ment
THE restoration OF the log to the de
paltment was due to Captain Louis
StOdder Of the United States revenue
cutter service and an officer ON the
Monitor during her entire service. For
years he treasured the log among his
most valuable possessions, but as the
inirmities of age increased he desired
to see it placed where its preservation
might be assured. Hence It was that
he forwarded II to the library of the
navy department.
The entries cover dates from Feb. &c

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great COM
mercial G and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
T~elegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has eve made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever r a more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct it's organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con
te~mporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.

Baltimore, to spend week with an
aunt there, and Harry, growing
anemic in the hot city, decided to run
up to the mountains for brief rest.
And there he met Miriam Bendish.
And the moment he saw her ne real
lied that his latest heroine had come
into incarnation She stood before
him, bronze-haired, demure and
piquant by turns; he knew every
turn and twist of her complex soul.
Even at the first interchange of
chances he knew that Miriam under
stood.
He watched her through the dinner
like man in a dream. They were in
troduced that evening They danced
together, talked together on the porch.
Their conversation, perfectly proper
and platonic, was Enthusiastically one OF
understanding.
All that night Harry lay awake,
thinking Of Miriam and again of Nor
ma. He remembered how he had
come into Normas life, six months
before He recalled how the serenity
of her nature had appealed to him.
There had been a sweetheart of Nor
ma's-a young man named Willis.
They had been comrades since child
hood, and, though nothing had been
said of love, most people had be-
lfeved that Willis would marry Norma.
After Harry had made his appearance
Willis had left the town. Harry had
suspected that Miss Arbuckle resent
ed his having supplanted Willis, and
that that had been the cause of her
hostility
Harry became conscious, VITA
amazement and distress, that he was
wishing Willis had stayed. He found
himself questioning his fitness to
marry Norma. Would their natures
blend, any more than light and dark
ness? He knew his weakness. his
constant searching for that ideal whom
Norma did not represent and never
could represent

I'm glad you are going to marry
Norma, Harry" said Norma's father
to her fiance. "She is the best and
sweetest girl in the world, and have
always hoped that she would marry a
good man. / think you are. the best
suited to Norma of any man know"
And Harry MacIntyre had gone
away from the dreaded interview feel
ing as if he were treading on air.
He counted the months that lay be-
tween him and the goal of his desires.
Norma, with her sweetness, her radi-
ant goodness, her simplicity of heart
was always in his thoughts. And
Norma was not "temperamental."
Like many, perhaps most literary
men, Harry was "temperamental." A

Portable income, Harry had created
heroines innumerable, blondes and
brunettes, piquant heroines, stately
ones, demure and dainty ones. Some
times he had wished that he could
turn some of these ideals into flesh
and blood. But alas! the ideal hero

nothing.
And Norma was not Harry's ideal.
She was simply sweet girl, admir-
ably suited to him. Harry felt re-
freshment of the spirit when, turning
away from his latest creation, he en-
countered the blue eyes Of Norma,
sane, healthy and always bringing him
back to his proper appreciation Of
life.
There was only one flaw in their
happiness. May Arbuckle, Norma's
best friend, was "temperamental."

Dodge War Bread With Cake.

Those who have been unable to
adapt their appetites to the new style
of bread now in use in Germany have
taken advantage of the rule allowing
a certain percentage of white flour to
be used in cake and are eating so
much of the latter that the mayor of
Berlin has had to issue a warming to
them.
He declared that the permission to
use -four in cake does not indicate q
permission to use cake without re-
striction and says that this substitute
for bread must be eaten sparingly. The
continuance of the habit Of using cake
without limit. he says, will be followed
by action on the part Of the authori-
ties.
