Lokensgard was noteworthy as a writer as well, serv-ing as »*ditor of “Skoien og Hjem-inet and of “Visergutten.” In addition. he compiled several textbooks in the Norwegian tongue.Since 1 925, the home of the fxk-ensgard family had been in Galcs-ville. where he was at the head of the thriving Gale College, a Lutheranacademy. Much of his time during\a*ation periods was annually spent in securing students for the school, and it was during such a trip that the break in his health caine. He entered a hospital at Minneapolis one week before his death, supposing that an operation for appendicitis would effect a cure. A complication of troubles was found to he present, trom which he could not recover.

In the “Diary of a (ientle-rnan of Fashion,” dated 1725, we find the following comment:Monday S’enight. went to Rane-lagh, and the following day went to Kennington Common to see a tryalof bludhounds that are to be sent to the lx*w Countries to track criminals. One dogg scented true, but the other was scarce so satisfactory. Numerous noblemen and gentlemen of fashion were present, to one of whom the diarist lost a wager of fire guineas, through the hound he favored being so w’rong in the nose.”How the bloodhound came hv hisname is a matter of conjecture. In the early days of the breed they wore associated with the hunting of Mood scent of a wounded animal. Butfrom other early writers, the inference is gathered that the purity of the breeding lead to the name bloodhound. just as a thoroughbred is spoken of as a blood horse.The bloodhound stands high in canine arts toe racy, for he is a well-bred gentleman. There is a kindly look inthe bloodhound’s face and his disposition is invariably in keeping with his looks. A bad-tempered blo.*d hound is the decided exception. At one time the breed had the reputation of being headstrong and nervous, bnt this was an injustice and soon passed out.Police records offer many concrete examples of the efficiency of thebloodhound in tracking down criminals. In a number of mystery cases, after the police have been baffled, the bloodhound, pressed into service, often as a last emergency, has put the law back on the track and brought alwmt capture.IARTISTIC WRANGLENT7W YORK—The Supreme Court has been asked to decide whetherA.
