J'-J"' -n plays jokes on him and giggles and flirts witn other men until Canute decides he cannot stand it uny longer, then he takes his gun and rests his forehead on it with his finger on the trigger and de bates with himself if ho would not better pull it. He decides not to and though the sun has set and a blinding snow storm rages. Me puts on his bat and goes over to Ole Jansen's house and asks him for his daughter. Ttfe father re fuses his consont and so does the daugh ter. Canute puts her shawl and hood upon her and bears her away in his arms to his own house. Then he locks the door and goes four miles to secure the services of tne little Norwegian minis ter. The minister refuses and Canuto harnesses his horse, puts the minister's hat on his head, the minister's coat on his body and carries him off. When ho arrives ut his own house ho makes the ainister read the regular marriage ser vice. Then he takes him back to his home and returns to his sobbing bride who has stopped weeping and begun to admire the strength and will of the man who has married her. "So it was that Canute took her to his home, even as his bearded barbarian ancestors took the fair frivolous women of the south in their hairy arms and bore them down to their warships. For ever and anon the soul becomes weary of the conventions that are not of it, and with a single etroke shatters the civilized lies with which it is unable to cope, and the strong arm reaches out and takes by force what it cannot win by cunning." It is a good Btory, told with originality and a sympathetic insight into the lives of the lonely men who occupy the wind parched plains of a foreign land. Her hero is heroic in spite of alcohol and moroseness. 'Joel. A Boy of Gallilee," by Annie Fellows Johnston! sold by Leming fc Co., is a' story of the times of Christ. Joel is the boy who gave Christ the live loaves and two small fishes with which Ho fed the Ave thousand people. It is ho same kind of a narative as "Titus, a Comrade of the Cross," which was pub lished in Chicago, and in a little whilo sold 300,000 copies. French artists, in the last ten years, have been painting pictures of Christ and His disciples in the ordinary clothes of tho peasantry trousers and a smock. Tho tirst sight of the familiar features of our Lord in a modern dress is shocking. There is no reason, except a probably incorrect sen timental one, why he should not be dressed so. Eighteen hundred and ninety-five years ago he wis a modern of moderns. At the close of the nine teenth century men still think his teachings on ethics irrational and vis ionary. A few "fanatics" like Tolstoi put his teachings into practice tho' the church still says "He did not mean what He said but this, my interpretation of it." Therefore His dress may be fash ioned according to tho vogue of any time for He belongs to all and none. Stylo is the clothing of ideas and Joel's story is told in the style of today. It is interest ing to read an old story told by one of the characters in it. We have been looking at him; wo cross over and be hold the others through his eyes. The book is printed in tine large type on cream paper with wide margins. 1 have given it to several children to read and they have not wished to lay it down be fore finishing it. It is illustrated with ten illustrations by Victor A. Searles in photogravure. A man in Portland, Maine, is organ izing a ladies European tour on wheels. He advertises for twelve ladies. Tho party will leave New York July 25, and be back in two months expenses of the whole trip to be covered by three hun dred dollars. The trip in prospect has its fascinations. Imagine it in reality. Twelve strangers cathered from differ ent parts of the United States, obliged to remain in each other's comDany for two months two months! The most entrancing scenery, the balmiest sky, castles reeking with traditions and other things, the most picturesque peas antry, the finest cathedrals and pictures, can not make that party happy if one out of tho twelve is an impossible. It is safe to say that one out cf every twelve persons iB very disagreeable under cer tain conditions and that those condi tions inviriably prevail when travel ling. This party of twelve ladies chance-selected, may have more than one disagreeable twelfth to rob death of its terrors. Life Icng friendships have been broken up by European tours. Some have been more firmly cemented, to be sure, but these latter were tried as by fire. If they came out of the fatigues, starvation's dirts and smells of a Euro pean tour smiling and fond it ia likely hat the journey of life will still see them hand in hand but these aro raro instances not to be counted on. Many of these parties havo left Lincoln for Europe, each member dreaming of tho long days uninterrupted by business in which ho can enjoy tho society of that friend whoso adoption ho thinks tried. How different tho talo they tell when hey return. Scraps. The Merchants Dining hall, corner Eleventh and P streets, has heretofore been run as a regular dining- hall.

If you have borrowed from health to satisfy the demands of business, if your blood is not getting that constant supply of fat from your food it should have, you must pay back from somewhere, and the somewhere will be from the fat stored up in the Lody. , The sign of this borrowing is thinness ; the result, nerve waste. You need fat to keep the blood in health unless you want to live with no reserve force live from hand to mouth. Scott's Emulsion of Cod-?:ver Oil is more than a medicine. It is a food.
