A travelling man who covers the whole country, living at the best hotels and meeting all kinds of people, gets lot others. typical young salesman an evening or two ago, in one of the lohbies in Birmingham, was discussing with a new-made friend the manner in which the dry law is enforced in various sec tions.
 The wettest spots in the country so far as I have observed" he said are in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania This came about in an unusual way The miners are nearly all foreigner D. It was a strange coincidence that the date the dry amendment became effec- tive was the time of the greatest demand for coal. The miners were being urged and implored to make every effort and to turn out every possible ton of coal. They were making tremendous wages and they had always been used to their drink.

COMES OF ANCIENT FAMILY
Danish Minister to Iceland Traces
Origin to First White Man Born
In America.

Information has been received from
Copenha gen that the Danish consul
general in London, ]. E. Boeggild, has
been appointed Danish minister to Ice
land. Mr.. Boeggild is widely known
in America, having been Danish con-
sui In San Francisco and Chicago
consul.general in New York and com
mercial adviser to the Danish legation
In Washington.
Mr.. Boeggild seems especially fitted
for this post, as he has 1celandic blood
In his veins. On the maternal side he
is descended from the Tulinius family
of Iceland, which traces its origin back
to Thorfinn Karlsefni, one of the IA
nous Norsemen who discovered Amer
lea nearly one thousand years ago.
Karlsefni, Of whom a statue was re-
Gently erected in Philadelphia. was the
first white man to settle in America,
spending two years in "Wineland,"
where his wife, Gutrid. gave birth to a
boy, who was called Snorri. From
Snorri descended a numerous and dis
tInguished lineage, among whom is
numbered the Tulinlus family, and the
new minister to Iceland can thus lay
claim of being descended from the
first white man born in America.-De-

Where Soft Drinks Orioinated,

"neFe ooIt OrInkS originated.
A Philadelphia writer says that
there is not much inspiration for po-
etry In soda water.
Let it be remembered that another
first" to be credited to Philadelphia
is for the manufacture Of soda water
that is to say, the commonly accept
ed beverage with fruit slrups.
1t was made by Eugene Roussel, who
conducted perfumery establishment
here about a century ago.
Moreover, the Philadelphia centen-
NAL finally confirmed the important
place of the industry and the popular
ity Of the beverage in the United
States. Robert NJ Green began to
build soda fountains in "a, showed
one at the centennial, and at the
Franklin institute exposition, held not
long thereafter, dispensed his new in
vention, ice cream soda," to an in
creasing throng that presently was
paying $500 a day over the counter
for the seductive new soft drinks"
With the present soda water and
soda fountain business approximating
one billion dollars year, this Phil
adelphia born industry is still in its
infancy. But what prodigious infant
it is !-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Cook With Oil on Warship.

The Hood, the monster mystery bat
tleship, launched from the Clyde the
other day, is fitted out with a large
oil-fuel cooking galley. For several
years past the use of oil fuel has been
common in the British navy for pro-
pulsion purposes, but its employment
for cooking is quite an innovation.
The galley referred to is capable OF
cooking for 1000 men. The heat is
obtained by means Of special burners,
which consume the oil under pressure,
compressed air being used to atomize
the fuel. The result is white flame
Of extraordinary heat and cleanliness,
which leaves no residue whatever and
Is easily controlled. There is an en-
tire absence Of smell-a usual disad-
vantage in cooking by means Of oil
and there Is no chance Of the food
being contaminated.

The league picnic at Tolstad's
grove day before yesterday was at
tended by large crowd, but it was
not attended by any amount of en-
thusiasm for the league side. In fact
most of the crowd present was against
the league. Townley did not show
up at all and the speakers present
failed to rouse any interest in the null
titude but rather bored them. The
only speaker who did raise any stir
at all was our friend Prof. Selden,
who succeeded in spilling the beans as
is his usual custom and in raising the
ire of the crowd. The band was un-
fortunate in having it's tuba player
taken sick and M. o. Grangaard, can
didate for state legislature for this
district, being the good fellow that he
is, volunteered his services to pump
wind into that tuba and helped out in
fine shape, then this great apostle of
the doctrines of state socialism and
free love arose in all his majesty and
glory and started roast on Mr..
Grangaard. It was uncalled for, very
foolish and shows what man will do
who is trying to land something from
the bunch he has so suddenly adopted
as the outlet to furnish him a meal
ticket. If Mr.. Selden wants to advo-
cate the league program that is all
right, but just why he wants to hop
onto everybody each time he does
some talking we cannot understand.
It is safe to say that he made lot
of friends for Mr.. Grangaard.

Nickel Coins Again.

An innovation in currency has beer
made by the Indian government,
which has coined and issued nickel
Sauna and 4-anna pieces. Tw0-anna
and lama pieces have been in c1rcu.
lation in India for many years, but
hitherto no nickel coins Of value
equal to the new issue have been in
use in any country-ln fact, the g.
anna piece is credited with being the
highest-valued coin struck in base
metal in the world, its recent sterling
exchange value being 1 shilling 2
pence, or % cents, at normal values.
The Indian government was Influenced
in its decision to issue the new coins
by the high price Of silver, and it is

BIG CHANGE NOTED TO ASSIST CUPID
Movement for "Mixed Clubs" in
City of London.
Method Has Been Suggested to Check
Decline In Marriage Rate, Which
IL Viewed With Consid.
cradle Alarm.

Social reformers, bishops, clergymen
and physicians are continually remind
ing US that in England we need more
marriage and earlier marriage" The
postponement Of the age Of marriage
among men until thirty or the begin
ming Of middle age is not a healthy
social sign.
In the middle class this deferment
of wedlock is attributed chiefly to the
increased difficulty in earning sufi-
cient income to support the family.
The same factor comes into play among
the skilled craftsmen who wish to at
tain fair financial position before
they undertake the responsibilities Of
parentage. We f1nd, therefore, that
early marriage is the custom chiefly OF
the unskilled workers, casual laborers
and the very poor.
The economic question Is not the
only barrier to early marriage and more
marriage In the great middle class.
Strange as it may appear, a vast num-
Der Of men and women who wish to
marry cannot find mates. Even in
these days there are a multitude Of
men who have very few women &C.
Quaintances, and still larger host OF
women who rarely enjoy the society
of men. We are apt to forget that a
large proportion of the Inhabitants Of
the big cities are practically 'strangers
in the gates" Their "homes" are a
bedroom in the suburbs, a boarding
house or little lookup fiat. They are
country immigrants to the large towns,
and in many instances they have not a
single acquaintance in the place.
If we are really in earnest about the
decline Of the marriage rate and the
deferment of matrimony, we should set
about facilitating social intercourse be-
tween the sexes. The first practical
step is the provision Of mixed clubs"
under municipal control. Clubs. as they
exist now, are simply internment camps
for men or women, and there is no
doubt that they tend to further seq
regation Of the sexes.
1t is true that there are clubs in Lon
don where men and women can meet.
But we require very much larger
number in the metropolis and in all
parts Of the provinces.
My own experience Of mixed clubs
is that they undoubtedly promote mat
rimony. They are pleasant meeting
place for young men and women after
the days work. 1t is appalling that
thousands of youths and maidens
should have nowhere to foregather in
the evenings and no choice between the
lonely lodging and the streets.
would suggest also that every mu-
nicipality should establish a marriage
bureau and provide candidates for we'd
lock with ntroductions.-From CONT

N. P. Langemo, candidate for the
legislature from the thirty eighth dis

He has been out campaigning in his
district and while he does not say
that he has easy sailing like his COM
petitor, he does say that he is meeting
with much encouragement at the
hands of the voters of the district.
Mr.. Langemo is by far the best man
of the two to elect to that oh, because
he will be Influenced in his work by
the need of the people instead of by
the wishes of the big boss. Mr.. Lam
gemo left for Fargo today to look

down to defeat for tn first time in
several days yesterday, when they
were taken on by the Jamestown
bunch and beaten by the score of 2 to
1. Only seven innings of the game
were played, on account Of darkness
falling so early. This is the first
game this season that Valley City has
lost to Jamestown. Two or three of
Valley City's best players quit yester-
day just before the team left for
Jamestown, greatly Gripping the eff
cheney of the team.
