See wikidata:Q94534156
Life Sketch of Mrs. Mary A. Denny
MRS. MARY A. DENNY was born near Nashville. Robertson County, Tennessee, November 25, 1822—the eldest of three children, two daughters and a son. Her father, Richard Freeman Boren, was a Baptist minister and moved to Illinois when Mary was quite young. The field of his labors covered long distances in this new and sparsely settled country, and the life proved too strenuous for his not very robust constitution. He passed away at the early age of 28, leaving his wife with three small children, the subject of this sketch being only 5 years old. Soon after his death his widow took the children back to her father. Joseph Latimer, with whom they remained until about 1830, when he decided to remove with his family to Illinois. They settled in Knox County, taking up land and opening farms. Mrs. Denny's childhood was spent much like that of all children in a new country, attending the district school and assisting with the housework, which included spinning and -weaving cloth for table and bed linen as well as for the family clothing. She was married November 23, 1843, to Arthur A. Denny, and in 1851, with their two little girls, they emigrated to Oregon. Leaving their Illinois home April 10, they reached Portland August 22, where their eldest son was born September 2. On November 5 they took passage on the schooner Exact, Captain Folger, for Puget Sound, where they and their party landed November 13. After nearly five months of weary travel they had at last reached the "land of promise." Is it surprising that the tears flowed when Mrs. Denny, with her tiny babe in her arms, looked around upon the wild unbroken forest and thought of the trials, privations and dangers of the life now before her? Mr. and Mrs. Denny remained during the winter at "Alki Point," where they first landed. The following April, in company with other members of their party, they crossed to the east side of Eliot Bay, and located claims where now is the city of Seattle.
Of the intervening fifty-three years much might be said, but as it would only be a repetition of the oft told experiences of pioneer women we will only add that Mrs. Denny brought up six children, two daughters and four sons, and was blessed with the companionship of her devoted husband fifty-six years. Now she awaits the end of this mortal life in happy anticipation of a glad reunion with him on the other shore.
Mrs. Denny is living in the enjoyment of the well-earned fruits of early industry and economy. In a beautiful home in one of the loveliest parts of the city of Seattle she is passing the evening of life. A devoted daughter lovingly attends her every want. Through her companionship and tender ministrations is rounded out the full measure of earthly happiness of this pioneer mother.
# The Souvenir of Western Women/Mineral Springs, Nature's Health Reservoirs

Mineral Springs Nature's Health Reservoirs
By WALLIS NASH
THERE is no region in the Northwest where mineral springs are not found. The western slope of the Cascade Mountains is cut and seamed by swift creeks and rivers, and in nearly every one of these valleys the "soda spring" is found. That at Sodaville, in the valley of the South Santiam, has the distinction of adoption by the State of Oregon, and of consequent improvement and dedication to public use. The other developed springs in the South Santiam Valley are those known as Waterloo (close to the Willamette Valley) and the Upper and Lower Soda Springs, high in the mountains.
The hot and sulphur springs on the Mackenzie, some forty miles east of the City of Eugene, situated among the magnificent forests, and on the banks of that most picturesque stream, have a wonderful record of cures of the various developments of the rheumatic poison.
The slopes of the Coast Range are not without their soda and sulphur springs—using the common names bestowed very often without any real knowledge of the constituents of the water.
In Eastern Oregon, throughout the region of the Blue Mountains, medicinal springs are common. Some nine miles along the line of the 0. R. & N. eastward from the town of La Grande, in Union County, Oregon, is found "Hot Lake."
On both sides of the Columbia River in Oregon and Washington medical springs are found, and in the Klamath River Valley, in the extreme south of Oregon, mineral springs are also reported.
In Spokane County, Washington, is "Medical Lake," situated 2,000 feet above sea level, a mile long and half a mile wide, the water being strongly mineralized. The Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane has been built there.
APPENDED BY THE EDITOR
These reservoirs for the alleviation of human suffering created for the use of man were doubtless intended by the All wise One to be as free to all as the sunshine, the rain, and the ozone in the air we breathe; not as sources of wealth to those who might chance to stumble upon them and through this mere accident hold them for personal profit to the exclusion of all sufferers who may be unable to meet such charges as the chance owner may fix.
The government has seen fit to reserve, for public use and pleasure, those parts of its domain peculiar for beauty and grandeur. The justice and wisdom of these reserves no one questions. Should it not with equal wisdom and justice withhold from private possession these health reservoirs, where pain-laden humanity may find relief and through these waters lay down their burdens and untrammeled take up the labors of life?

# The Swedish Government and Parliament Against Emigration

* related portals: Sweden.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Wikidata item.
Nationalföreningen mot emigrationen was a Swedish association, founded in 1907, seeking to prevent emigration both by propaganda and by improving living conditions in Sweden. Svenska Kuriren was a newspaper published 1887-1929 in Chicago. For a background, read Swedish emigration to the United States.
From Svenska Kuriren, May 2, 1908
The Swedish Parliament consented to the proposal of the Swedish King to appropriate 10,000 Swedish Kronen to the National Society against Emigration, according to a Stockholm letter of April 17, received from the Svenska Kuriren's special correspondent, "Einar," Stockholm, Sweden. He writes now about this matter as follows:
"The decision of parliament was not unanimous. One speaker said America is not so terrible. There are many Swedes who have found a good living in the United States, we have much to learn from America," he said. "We should better the living standard here at home. The emigrants will stay at home."
Another speaker said that the population of Sweden should be at least nineteen million, and now we have only five million. Still another member of the parliament thought that the Society could not do much to prevent the emigration with or without the appropriation. he said that it was for the good of young men if they spent a couple of years in America. Finally, another member said that the social condition must be reformed in Sweden before we fight against emigration, and that the value of men should be recognized instead of money when laws are instituted. But then the appropriation was approved.

# The Sweet-Scented Name/Adventures of a Cobble-Stone

original title: Путешественник-камень
Adventures of a Cobble-Stone
THERE was in the town a cobbled roadway. A wheel of a passing cart loosened one of the stones. The stone said to himself, "Why should I lie here close packed with others of my kind? I will live separately."
A boy came along and picked up the cobble-stone.
Thought the stone to himself: "I wanted to travel and I travel. I only had to wish sufficiently strongly."
The boy threw the stone at a house. Thought the stone: "I wish to fly and I fly. It's quite simple—I just willed it."
Bang went the stone against the window-glass. The glass broke and in doing so cried out:
"Oh, you scoundrel! What are you doing?"
But the stone replied:
"You'd have done better to get out of the way. I don't like people getting in my ​way. Everything arranged for my benefit—that's my motto."
The stone fell on a soft bed and thought: "I've flown a bit, and now I'll lie down for a while and rest."
A servant came and took the stone off the bed and threw it out at the window again so that it fell back on the cobbled roadway.
Then the stone cried out to his fellow-cobbles: "Brothers, good health, I've just been paying a call at one of the mansions, but I did not at all care for the aristocracy, my heart yearned for the common people, so I returned."

United States Supreme Court
363 U.S. 278
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Petitioner, v. Mose DUBERSTEIN et al. Alden D. STANTON et al., Petitioners,
Argued: March 23, 24, 1960. --- Decided: June 13, 1960
Mr. Justice BLACK, concurring and dissenting.
I agree with the Court that it was not clearly erroneous for the Tax Court to find as it did in No. 376 that the automobile transfer to Duberstein was not a gift, and so I agree with the Court's opinion and judgment reversing the judgment of the Court of Appeals in that case.
I dissent in No. 546, Stanton v. United States. The District Court found that the $20,000 transferred to Mr. Stanton by his former employer at the end of ten years' service was a gift and therefore exempt from taxation under I.R.C. of 1939, § 22(b)(3), 26 U.S.C.A. § 22(b)(3) (now I.R.C. of 1954, § 102(a), 26 U.S.C.A. § 102(a)). I think the finding was not clearly erroneous and that the Court of Appeals was therefore wrong in reversing the District Court's judgment. While conflicting inferences might have been drawn, there was evidence to show that Mr. Stanton's long services had been satisfactory, that he was well liked personally and had given splendid service, that the employer was under no obligation at all to pay any added compensation, but made the $20,000 payment because prompted by a genuine desire to make him a 'gift,' to award him a 'gratuity.' Cf. Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. LoBue, 351 U.S. 243, 246-247, 76 S.Ct. 800, 802-803, 100 L.Ed. 1142. The District Court's finding was that the added payment 'constituted a gift to the taxpayer, and therefore need not have been reported by him as income * * *.' The trial court might have used more words, or discussed the facts set out above in more detail, but I doubt if this would have made its crucial, adequately supported finding any clearer. For this reason I would reinstate the District Court's judgment for petitioner.

Argued: March 23, 24, 1960. --- Decided: June 13, 1960
Mr. Justice HARLAN concurs in the result in No. 376. In No. 546, he would affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the reasons stated by Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER.
Mr. Justice WHITTAKER, agreeing with Bogardus that whether a particular transfer is or is not a 'gift' may involve 'a mixed question of law and fact,' 302 U.S., at page 39, 58 S.Ct. at page 64, concurs only in the result of this opinion.
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS dissents, since he is of the view that in each of these two cases there was a gift under the test which the Court fashioned nearly a quarter of a century ago in Bogardus v. Commissioner, 302 U.S. 34, 58 S.Ct. 61.

# Danish Fairy and Folk Tales/A Funny Fellow

A FUNNY FELLOW
NE day a man came along the road pushing in front of him a wheelbarrow containing a bushel of rye, which he intended to bring to the mill. He met another man, with whom he fell to talking.
"Good-morning, my friend! Is the road good?"
"I did not taste it."
"Was the mill agoing?"
"I did not meet her."
"Why!" cried the first, "you are a funny fellow, aren't you?"
"I am no fellow, for I am a married man, and so I was for the last twenty years."
"Good enough for you!"
"No, it was not so very good."
"Why not?"
"Because my wife was too old."
"Too bad, wasn't it?"
"No, it might ha' been much worse."
"How so?"
"Because she had a house and a heap of money."
"Pretty good for you, then!"
​"No, it might have been better, for there was too much small coin in it."
"Bad enough for you!"
"No, it might ha' been worse, for we had enough to buy four good-sized pigs."
"Good for you!"
"No, it was bad enough, for when my wife melted off the lard, she set the house afire."
"That was pretty bad!"
"Worse it might ha' been, for I built a new one."
"That was good!"
"Not for me. When my wife went into the new house to see what it looked like, she fell down the stairs and broke her neck."
"Too bad! Too bad!"
"I don't say so, for I married again. My second wife is young and pretty."
"Good for you, then!"
"No, no. It might have been better, for she scolds and kicks me with a broomstick all the day long."
"That is too bad!"
"Yes, that is bad enough. Good-morning!"
# Danish Fairy and Folk Tales/A Rose-leaf

A ROSE-LEAF
AD the fountain of speech dried up, or why did silence prevail in the High Council of Babylon?
There they were, seated in a circle, all the wise fathers of the great city; all were absorbed in deep meditation, fixing their glances upon the ground as if expecting that help and advice would grow up, like herbs and flowers.
What had brought the High Council of Babylon into such a state of helplessness and confusion? It was a small slip of parchment upon which were written these words: "Abdul Kader asks Babylon to show him hospitality."
Abdul Kader—the light of the Orient, the wisest among wise men—whose speech was vivifying as balsam, refreshing as rain. He asked Babylon to open its gates for him—Babylon, the city of ​thousands, numbering already hundreds of thousands. Were he admitted, ten would follow, and hundreds would follow the ten, and thousands would follow the hundreds.
But the worthy man must not be treated like an unwelcome beggar. He could not be refused admittance! And yet—
Suddenly the doors were opened, and Soleiman, the Elder, entered the hall. The marks of wisdom were written by age upon his forehead.
When he saw the lines written upon the slip of parchment he remained standing in the middle of the hall. Every one gazed at him, but a long time elapsed; then a ray of light gleamed from his eyes, and seizing a costly cup, he said to the Council, "Arise, and follow me."
They all followed him to the fountain near the gate of the city. Here Soleiman filled the cup with water, and when it was unable to hold another drop, he lifted it, and with a kind smile, but without speaking, held the golden chalice towards Abdul Kader, as if wishing to say: Behold! Babylon is like this cup which cannot hold another drop of water; Babylon has not room for another man.
But Abdul Kader smilingly reached down, picked a rose-leaf from the ground, and cautiously placed it on the surface of the water in the cup. He spoke not, but Soleiman extended his hands towards him, and the Council forming a procession, conducted ​him to the hall. Abdul Kader had solved the problem.
A wise man is like the rose-leaf on the water. The leaf floats on the surface without exerting any pressure; the wise man is no source of trouble to a community. He beautifies it.
