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.

borrowing from health.
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. The Hypophosphites make it a nerve food, too.
It comes as near perfection as good things ever come in this
world.
Be sure yeu get Scott's Emulsion when you want it ami not a tktaf tutttltutt.
