United States Senator Knute Nelson
of Minnesota, In an address before
' the convention of the Luther League
of America In Chicago, said:
"Severed by two vast oceans from
the other great powers of the world,
he said, "with our hundred millions of
people and our almost limitless re
sources, we have no occasion to fear
any attack or Invasion from abroad
"The enemy that will attack us and
the danger that will threaten us
against which we must constantly be
on our guard, will come from within;
will come when we are untrue and un
faithful to our great trust and duty;
will come when we cease to pass good
laws without fear or favor against the
laws Ithout fear or favor against the
rich and the poor, the high and the
low; will come when we grant immu
nity to transgressors and law vlolat
ors; will come when we allow the
mammon of pelf and unrlghtoousness
to rule and dominate; will come when
we stifle or permit to be stifled the
conscience of the masses of the na
tlon. ;
"Against this enemy and this dan
ger the only navy that can protect us
and guide us In the future as In the
, .past, are our schools and our churches,
These, rather than brute force, will
be our solace, our hope and our salva
tion." ,

this week at his home In New Tork,
at the age of 18. He not only was a
great singer, but a great musical au

Rolled Away" are known and sung
today the , world round. Sankey's
name cannot be spoken but Intuitively

ligious teachers were associated to

are almost synonymous, During the
past five years Mr.. Sankcy has been
blind, but up to the time of his death

He received a great Income from his
productions, but the greater part he

Society and hunting circles at Ka

gossip from the woods. Charles Mer

some time-ago, and Is yet forced to
walk with crutches, and "Richard,"
the Bay family's pet canine, were
picking huckleberries last Friday and

fright which the lap dog received, he
did some tall thinking. His weapons
were In camp, and his method of loco

The huckleberry crop on the sum

this year, and even what did ripen
are now well picked. Campers at
Kamela find that It Is necessary to go
several miles Into the heart of the
mountains to find quantities worth
while picking. In the wilds, of course,
Mr. Indian has reaped his harvest and
the whits men are finding but few
left. The redmen find ready sale of
their fruit at a dollar per gallon, as
pickers find It much ensler to buy
them at that price than to spend the
energy necessary In picking them. As
a rule, the limited supply Is of a
splendid grade, ...
