Show STYLES AND POLITKNKSS. America Is behind all European countries In politeness. She doesn't believe In much "bowing and scraping." scrap-ing." Here they believe In much. Men raise, their hats, good and high, to each other, ns well as to ladles. One of tho llrst things a boy learns Is to make a nice bow and the girl to bend her knees. Styles, for men and women, are about the same as In Utah. Paris rules the styles here as she docs In America, and I believe "tho latest" often gels hcie sooner than there. The big majority of the podplo dress well, live well and spend all they can. Bapld transportation and tclegiaph have now brought the people of the world so close together It Is dllllcult for ono progressive nation to gel very far ahead of another. IIAltl) TIMES AND WAir.. Theie was a irallstle boom hciea few years ago. You know the lest. Norway Is close and labor Is scarce. A worklmg man Is paid from 40c to 80c per day, 11 lied girls get fiom $2.85 to $4 per month. Clerks fiom V to20 per mouth and thousands aro glad to takeworkat the above figures. Food stull costs as, much here as it docs In Logan, but clothing, outside of foot-wear, Is much cheaper. Leather goods are about the same price as In America, In fact they aio Imported hero in great numbers and sold at American prices. SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION.

He seems to love the people. At the recent Halisund lire where 11,000 people were rcndeicd homeless and $500,000 worth of property proper-ty wasdcstioycd, the coals were still ; warm when he had two huge battle ships sent to the scene laden with money, food, clothing and bedding, and sleeping apartments on board for 1,000 people. He was a friend In need. Ills picture Is hanging everywhere. He is "next man to the king." MOKMON8 AND MOKMON1SM. t There are sixty elders in Norway and in round numbers 11,500 members In this city we have an assembly hall, centi ally located, which at home would cost at least $250,000. It is handsomely decorated, well furnished, electric lighted and meetings woll attended. Each Sunday the house Is well filled. The pilcstsall "give us thunder" the newspapers tell of all tho bad deeds of the Mormons but we go on just tho same. I am acquainted with most of the editors and wo are friends so 1 can get in a reply to almost any article that may appear. And Mr. Editor, you know what It-means to be on tho best side of tho editor. Till "STOltTIIlNOET." Norway's congress Is composed of 117 members chosen by the cities and tho country districts. It has two apartments apart-ments somewhat slmlllar to our Senate Sen-ate and House of Representatives. Odclthlnget has 88 members and Log-tclngct Log-tclngct 20. These form tho legislative bodies. They have no liquor bills on their hands. Its surprising how harmoniously har-moniously they work together. J. A. Hendhickson. |
