Old Norway, thy fairy-tales throng From nature, from Baga and song. Where Norsemen assemble Hearts' yet thrill and tremble In love for thee, faithful and strong. In song, then, plain American song, Wo greet the thy mountains among. Brave landlet, yet evermore viking like vieing With continents, foremost and blest, Thy banner of freedom as proudly is flying As that of the Queen of the West. Dear sod, where our fathers and ' mothers are lying In slumbering church-yards at rest. Old Norway, sweet memories throng From thy nature, saga, and song. Where Norsemen assemble Hearts yet thrill and tremble In love for thee, faithful and strong. In song, then, free American song, We greet thee all nations among.

CAUTIONED "Have you noticed how the 'thou sand' is misspelled on the new $1,000 certificate?" asks the Minneapolis Journal. "Yes, and every time we handle one of the certificates we look at the word and laugh fit to kill." The Commoner. We have repeatedly cautioned the cashier of the Journal to examine with great care all bills he puts in our weekly envelope above the $500 denomination. Richmond (Va.) Evening Journal. . JUST AS HE WAS A Richmond minister not long ago .was asked to perform a marriage ceremony by a young negro couple. As he had employed the groom for a year or two, he consented, knowing what prestige would come to the couple by reason of having been inar tled by a white minister. At the appointed time the happy pair ar rived, and the. ceremony proceeded "Do. you take this man for better or for worse?" the minister asked. For all her shyness, the bride spoke up "bravely. "No, sah; ah don't," she said; "Ah'll take him jest, like he is. If HARD TO BELIEVE Jack na'd just come home from sea after & long voyago and his granny wanted to hear some of tho wonders of the deep. "Well, .granny," said Jack, "the first thing that surprised mo was tho flying flBh." "Flying fish!" said granny. "You won't gull mo with cock-and-bull stories about flying fish. Tell me something true.' "Well, then, we had to cast anchor In a calm crossing tho Red Sea, and when we hauled up tho anchor it brought up one.of Pharoah's chariot wheels!" "Ah," said granny, "that's Scrip ture truth, Jack; but bone Of your flying fish for me!" Tfd-BIts. POOR ORPHANS Two of the young , friends of Bishop Wilberforce of Oxford gave the authorities of the university so much trouble that they won the nick names of Hophni and Phineas. One day, says T. H. S. Escott in society in the country house, they we're lounging about the hall at Cud desdon palace, singing the Lutheran refrain, "The devil is dead," when the bjshop suddenly appeared. He walked very gently up to them, and in his most caressing manner, placing one hand on each head, said in a consolatory tone: t .' ('Alas, poor orphans!" Youth's Companion . POOR WAGES A Sign John B. Lennon, treasurer of the American Federation of Labor, de livered recently in Bloomington an interesting address on strikes. Turning to tho amusing features of the strike question, Mr. Lennon said: !'I remember a strike of bobbin boys, a just strike, and one that suc ceeded. These boys conducted their fight well, even brilliantly. Thus, the day they turned out, they posted in the spinning room of their em ployers' mill a great placard in scribed with tho words: ' 'The wageg of sin is death, but the wages' 'of the bobbin boys is worse. t -La"bor News. of poor blood circulation Is shortness of breath after walking, going up angor! frlsht; etc. Poor blood clrcuianlable increase In travel.
