in Northern Norway. The houses
have fireplace in the center Of the
room Around the walls is built a
broad wooden platform, about foot
and half from the floor, which
serves the purpose Of chairs by day
and as bed by night. The men
lie with their heads to theS wall and
their feet towards the fireplace, ex-
actly as the ancient inhabitants did.
These one-room houses have no win
dows in the sides, but an opening in
the roof that serves as a chimney
and to give some light to the interior.
The main article Of furniture besides
the platform around the room was a
huge chest made of heavy planks
bound and fastened with a huge lock
that was meant to defy the skill of
man to open, except with the proper
key. The chest was used in all sorts
of ways. It was utilized a. a bench
and as bed, for usually it was
large enough to sleep in. Merchants
kept their stOck-in-trade i'm 1T, and
the lid served as an admirable coun-
ter. III was considered q safe cash

There are good qualities in every
person even the tramp who begs for
his bread. The same may be said of
the world war if it was responsible
for Mothers Day" A noted evan
gelist once preached a sermon on
Mother, Home and Heaven" linking
/ the first two on earth with the third.
Many thousands Of soul-stirring let
ters were written on Mothers Day"
by our soldier boys in Germany,
France, Russia and u. s. camps to
the patient mothers at home who
watched over them as long as they
were near, and then spent hours in
prayer and supplication in their be-
half when they left Home, Sweet
Home" to fight the Great Battle that
will make the world safe for Demo-
cracy.
1t may not be generally known
that Norsemen, men of Norway that
ancient country of Northern Europe,
were instrumental in first discovering
the mainland of what is now North
America. Some of them still live

of the twelve million farmers in our
country, through their 1913 organiza-
tons, favor the entrance of the
United States into the League Of Ma
tons.
If the Bull and Cock fights in
Mexico are considered brutal, why
should 10000 or more people be al
lowed to gather together at Toledo,
Ohio, this coming July 4th, to witness
two men battering, bruising and
mutilating the bodies given by our
Creator to use unto His names honor
and glory?
If it be true that each soldier gain
ed on an average Is to 25 pounds
while in France, then fresh air, good
food and proper exercise are con-
ducive to health and happiness.
Mothers Day.
Mother, my mother; oh name so dear.
Who cares for us without dread or
fear,
Who lovingly watches every move
Always ready to praise or approve;
Who works on in this noble way,
Until God sees fit to call her away.
