the shells you see lying around here,
and see that you leave not one"
Hans was so scared that he did not
dare say what he thought-that he
could never in a thousand years pick
up all the shells. He meekly went to
work, and into basket which the man
on the throne gave him, he put the
shells.
His back began TO ache and he grew
very tired indeed, but always, when he
stopped, he saw the man on the throne
looking at him and holding in a
threatening manner a three-pronged
fork that Hans was certain had very
sharp points.
Days and days Hans thought he must
have worked. He did not remember
the nights at all. And then all at once
he felt very wet. He hadn't before,
He shivered, and to his surprise he
found himself in the river beside the
bank where he had been fishing when
the big fish carried him off.
Hans scrambled up the bank and sat
down, rubbing his eyes. Il wonder If
I fell asleep" he said, land dreamed
it all" But his back still ached and
Hans believed in fairies and COLLINS
and he had no wish TO work at the
bottom of the ocean again.
81 wonder" thought Hans. "if I sell
the fish I catch and carry the money
home TO Gretchen and little Hans, If
the magic folks will let me alone. 1
believe l will try it and see."
What ever has happened to lazy
Hans" asked the people in the village.
"He does not spend his time or money
ar the tavern any more. and little Hans
and Gretchen look so well and happy"
1T must be the fairies that made
the change in him." said one.
1T would have taken more than the
fairies to have changed Hans" said
another. My belief is that the COB
Inns carried him off and gave him
sound beating"
But Hans held his peace and never
told, and never did he again see the
big fish or any of the magic folks, for
always he sold the fish he caught and
carried the money home to Gretchen
and little Hans. And those who do
right have no reason TO fear the COB
Inns or any of the magic people.

Have You This Habit?

"WHAT Ben Blower has is always

they smiled.
Mr.. Blower was spending the week

Mr.. Blower but had not met him. Her
husband introduced. that Saturday
night at dinner. brisk little man in a
black coat that somehow suggested
the cut of robins tail feathers.

Blowers hostess began.

nunciation of words ending in the let

Assertion of Rights

''The Rights of Man" is a famous
statement, in II clauses, adopted by
the French national assembly in
August, 1879. 1t was modelled after the
American Declaration Of Independence
and marked out the leading principles
Of limited monarchy based upon a
constitution. 1t was severely criticized
by Edmund Burke in his Reflections
on the French Revolution" and warmly
defended by Thomas Paine In his

THE VOCATIONS OF
SENATORS

If you want an artesian well or
a tooth drilled you can find some
one in the United States Senate
qualified to do it for you.
If you want a lawyer, a ply
stefan, or an engineer, the Senate
can supply him from among its
ninety-six members. Often you
will find one man qualified in
many lines, as for instance SEN
ator Brookhart of Iowa, who is
listed in the Congressional Re
cord as farmer, teacher, lawyer
and soldier"
AS in all legislative bodies
the lawyer predominant. Next
in number are the Senators who
describe themselves as stockmen

ton for the vote-hunter in recent
years. Editors and writers are
plentiful. More than so per cent

Among the occupations under
which members of the present
Senate are listed are: Law, news

SAVING WOOD AT
ASSEMBLY HALL

Don't let good thing go by:
The wood has not been sawed at
the assembly hall, and most likely
it will not be sawed until Mon
day, December 20, in the after
noon. If anyone else wishes to
haul stumps they should have it
in by Monday afternoon. Will
want about six to eight boys to
help saw and split Monday after
noon. Girls welcome as usual.
Are you all game? The more the
merrier, both stumps and help.

Maurice Nielsen came over from
Minong. Wis, Tuesday, to spend
the holidays at his home here.
Viggo Andersen, employed at
a lumber camp, Minong, Wis,
came home Tuesday TO spend
Christmas.
Miss Elna Petersen, student at
st. Olaf's College, Mortified,
came home last week to spend
Christmas vacation.

spend the holidays with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Soren Jensen,
northeast of town.

who are employed at the "Askov'
lumber camp near Rainier, came

days with their families.

Band met at the town hall Mon
day evening for preliminary in
structions. The class will not

ming. Jan. S, when it is expected

mark. Wis, was over here Satur-
day to attend the funeral of his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ernst M.
Mailing. He visited with Askov
relatives and friends until Tues
day.
Mrs. Rasmus Jensen returned
to her home at Alpha in Jackson
county. Monday, after a short visit
with her daughter, Mrs, Nick
Larsen, and family, south of
town. Her daughter, Emma, and
son. Leon. are remaining to visit
over the holidays at the Nick Lar
sen home, and the Carl Larsen
home in the village.
The temperature Monday morn
ing was rather low so Emil Fogt
decided to make his potato cellar
nice and warm to keep the "valu-
able" spuds from catching cold.
Returning to the root cellar a
short time later he found that in
some manner it had caught fire.
The blaze was beyond control
when discovered so the structure
burned completely. Saw dust was
procured and thrown over the
potatoes so it is possible that
some of those which were not
baked might be saved from freez-
ing. There was something over a
thousand bushels of potatoes in
the cellar, so while the price on
them rs low it amounts to quite a
bit anyway.

she'd checked her handbag, with the

what might become her home.
She fell asleep at once, having had,
since she'd awakened in the Mime
apolis train that morning, pretty full
day. But later, in the dead of night,
she found herself broad awake and
unable for few minutes to remem-
Der where she was. A high wind had
sprung up and was banging the loose
window-sashes furiously. The bed was
cold and worn down into unaccom-
modating hollows.
The thought of sharing that bed
with George Burns presented itself to
her as antastic-impossible She
