Prayers for Horses.

Marcus Horton, author of the re-
Gently published novel, Bred of the
Desert"-the story of a horse and his
owner-has approached in fiction what
the Russians have done in fact. He
recognizes the great service of the
horse to man in peace and makes one
Of his characters repeat an imaginary
prayer of the horse to his master. The
Russians have put into their war lit
urgy the following petition for horses:
"And for those also, o Lord, the
humble beasts. who. with us, bear the
burden and heat Of the day, and offer
their guiltless lives for the well-being
of their countries, we supplicate thy
great tenderness OF heart For thou
hast promised to save both man and
beast, and great is thy loving kind.

t is impossible now to go from
Christiania to Copenhagen by
boat, writes Mary Ethel McAnley
from Denmark to the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. All lines for passengers
have been stopped on account of the
mines, so one must go through Sweden
by rail and then cross the North sea
at Helsingborg. If you go at night the
trains are taken over on a ferry, one
carload at time. AS the ride is 16
hours long we stopped all night at
Gothenburg, the great Swedish seaport
town and second largest town in Swe-
den. 1t is great, bleak sort of a
place, not interesting, but evidently
progressive, for it is the first place in
Europe where I have ever seen any
extensive building going or, and large
houses were going up everywhere.
This town is where the great Gothen-
burg system of controlling the liquor
traffic first sprang from, l expected
to see a very model place, but, alas
we met six drunken men in three
squares. Perhaps they were only
sailors off duty.
The first thing we saw when he
landed in Denmark was the Kronberg
castle where Hamlet lived. 1t is
wonderful old place, standing right on
the sea. The people around there say
that on dark and moonless nights the
ghost Of HaElet's father comes out
and stands on the ramparts, and waves
his long white-robed arms.
The ride from Helsingborg to Co
penhagen takes about an hour and on
the way is Fredriksborg castle, where
Queen Alexandra of England stays
when she is in Denmark. Her suite
OF rooms is shown to the public when
she is not n Copenhagen. Denmark
is a country Of palaces and the Rosen-
borg and Amalienborg are among the
most beautiful.

An UntImely Visitor.

days 1t is an elastic term, and in
Blanche's case there was no apparent
reason why 1t should ever cease to

tongue except her own.

Hindenburu's New Garnet

A translation issued by the German
Information service concerns the pres
entation Of a remarkable carpet to
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. 1t
reads:
"The city of Konia, in Asia Minor.
recently presented Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg with a magnificent carpet.
On 1t is woven an exact map of East
Prussia, the seat of the field marshal's
great victory. In the left corner of
the carpet, surrounded by a laurel
wreath, is a portrait of Hindenburg,
and below an inscription in German
and Turkish containing the words: TO
his Excellency Gen. Field Marshal Paul

victorious battles at the Masurian
lakes, presented by the inhabitants Of

The food in Scandinavia is so differ
ent from that in America that many
Americans become sick when they try
to live on the same things that the
natives do. They don't eat fruit and
vegetables, but live on bread, fish and
meat. The Danes are like the Nor
wegians, for they adore fish, and even
eat fish sandwiches for breakfast. An
American lady we know here in Copen-
hagen went to dinner party and she
was served with cold boiled goldfish,
and cold fish gravy tough as leather.
She was polite and ate it, but as re-
suit she was sick all day.
The Copenhagener likes to think
himself very Bohemian, especially in
his cafe life. The women also boast
of being Bohemian, and a great many
of them smoke cigars and drink whis-
ky. One can often see a young wom-
an enter cafe, hang up her hat, flop
into chair and order absinthe and a
cigar. The Danes are great drinkers
and the wine they drink takes the
place of the fruit we eat in America.
The Danish women are not nearly
so attractive as the Swedish and Nor
wogian girls, and the women of Copen-
hagen are not so stylish as the girls
of Christiania. In Christiania one sell
dom sees a fat man. There the men
are all big and rather angular. Here
in Copenhagen tto men are inclined to
be fat, and they are much shorter
than the Norwegians.
Things are not very expensive here
in Denmark, except the things that are
imported from Germany. We paid so
cents for small leather strap and the
salesman said that all the leather
goods sold in Denmark were imported
from Germany, and that the manufac-
turers of Germany were so busy max
ing war material that they had no time
to make straps. Fruit is, of course,
very dear. A bunch of grapes costs
a dime. In one window we saw dis

Old Martha had known him all his
life, but best at the period when he
used to come to nursery tea at Little
ford. She declared she would have
known him anywhere as he was, but
she simply hadn't recognized him in
that photograph with his beard.

Martha, looking him in the lower tenn

some of the hotels were as bad as in
America. Ever since we have been
here we have seen taxicabs full of
strangers frantically driving around
trying to get place to sleep.
Copenhagen is very dirty town.
The city evidently tries to keep things
cleaned up, and everywhere you see
the sign "Spytning formudt." This
does not mean spying forbidden as it
at first seems, but merely splitting for
hidden. Everybody here rides the BIZ
cycle, from the boy of six to the wom-
an of seventy. The bicyclers take up
all the street room and part of the
sidewalk. They are very much like
the taxis in New York city-they don't
care whether they run over you or
not.
Are Partial to Phones.
Next to bicycle riding the most pop
ular exercise is telephoning. Every
body telephones all the time. and the
little bells jingle everywhere. Every
street corner has a telephone booth.
These booths look like a cupboard
standing On table. When you want
to telephone you step inside the ia
BILE, put your head in the cupboard.
close the doors and none of the out
side noises can be heard. If you see
a fine building in Scandinavia, it is
not a bank, nor hotel, nor yet a
palace, but it is a telephone building
central.

ritorysand become the possessor Of an
undeveloped empire far greater in
area than the present empire of
Japan.
With these prizes in view-a war
indemnity that would instantly en-
rich impoverished Japan, and a pros
pect of taxing over the wealth OF
Alaska for all time-it would be
folly for the american people to as
sumo that Japan would be incapable
of picking a quarrel with them over
the issue of Japanese exclusion, jap
anese land tenure in the Pacific coast
states and the admission of Japanese

Prudent Nation Must Pay.
To "chuck" the Monroe doctrine
and forget the open door in China,
as the New Republic says, would tend
to relieve future tension and greatly
minimize the risk of war with Ger
many and Japan. But on what in
dication can we build expectation
that either policy will be abandoned
by the American. people? Is it likely
that the Wilson administration will
risk the coming election on that pro-
posal? Or that the republican party
or the progressives under Roosevelt
will go before the country on that
issue?
Even though these causes of poten-
tial friction could be removed the
United States undefended would not
have dependable insurance against
war. Wars spring from many sour
ces. We went to war with England
a century ago-not over disputes
about territory, but over our rights
at sea-chiefly because England held
to harsh course of search of Amer
lean vessels and the impressing into
her navy of sailors of disputed or
"dual" nationality. Wars come from
every point of the compass, and fire.;
quently from unexpected sources and
over new and quickly developing con-
trOversies.
Preparedness is burden, but in
surance against death and fire is
likewise a burden. For all that the
prudent man buys insurance. The
prudent nation must buy prepared
ness.

RAIN FOR DELEGATE

A. A. D. Rain of Minneapolis, close
personal friend of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, has filed as candidate for
delegate-at-large to the Republican
national convention. Mr.. Rain has
filed under the Cummins column.
The filing of Mr.. Rain created
quite stir in political circles. Early
in the winter it was considered likely
that Mr.. Rain would take charge of
the circulation of petitions to place
the name of Colonel Roosevelt on the
primary ballot. The former president
requested that his name be not en-
tered in the primary fight, however.
Mr. Rain was born at Valparaiso,
Ind, Oct. 9, 1875. He came to Min
neapolis in 1880 and has lived there
ever since. He was educated in the
public schools in Minneapolis. For
Is years he was connected with the
Hardwood Manufacturing company Of
Minneapolis. He then went into the
general contracting business for him
self.
Mr.. Rain is interested in lumber
ing and farming, having large farm
north of Bemidji, where he has a herd
of so head of cattle. He is inter-
ested in banks at Baudette, Williams
and Dayton.
INF. Rain is essentially Mime
sofa product and has taken keen
interest in all things pertaining to
the. development of the state. He is
a member of the general committee
having in charge the campaign for
Amendment No. 1, which provides
for a revolving fund to be used for
the development of Northern Min
nesota.
Mr. Rain has taken an interest in
politics for many years. He was a
Roosevelt delegate to the Republican
national convention in 1912.
The friendship between Colonel
Roosevelt and Mr.. Rain is such that
a special significance is given to his
filing at this time, especially as Mr..
Rain recently met the Colonel in the
east and went over the situation in
Minnesota with him.

that you believe in pushing this city
along, and incidentally yourself with
the city.
Very good. Now read and think
while we talk-or write.
Every dollars worth Of farm prod
uce that is shipped direct from the
farmer to some city commission mer-
chant should ebe sold to a farm clear
ing house in this city.
True, I'VE haven't such a clearing
house, but that is our fault and not
theofarmer's.
five had such clearing house
under capable management, operated
under the direction of the business
mennof the city, farm products could
be-marketed without going through
soemanylhands,it thus realizing better
returns for the farmer.
This would cause the farmer to
bring his produce here instead of
shipping to outsiders and in bring
ing his produce to us for sale he
would naturally dofhis trading with
us at the same time.
If commission house in the city
can distribute the farmers products
and earn great profits, and steal
more, then a, local clearing house
can do the same at greatly reduced
expense, without stealing
This clearing house should not be
operated, as matter Of profit. Barely
a sufficient amount to pay actual ex-
penses should be charged. It should
be community enterprise and man
aged for the benefit of the whole COM
munity and not for a few individ-
uals. .. ..
It should be, maintained for the
purpose of making this city the farm
er's market place instead of some
other city, and in our opinion it
would be the greatest financial step
in advance that we as community
could possibly take. It would be the
