Nothing is pleasanter than the arrival
at a retired Norwegian inn after a long
days walking. There stands the land
lord, spare, ,nimble-looking figure, with
shock of reddish hair, queerly-cut
and freckled face, and eyes brimming
with good humor. He at once requires,
in the directest way, respecting your
movements, where you started from, how
many days have you been on your jour
ney, whether you intend going farther,
etc. You feel at once that this kind Of
accost is not impertinence, but friendly
curiosity; and worn out with your days
toll, you gladly resign yourselves and
your concerns to such kindly and eff
cient hands. The whole house is soon.
actively employed in providing for your
wants. Fresh pink trout, timed meats,
which are savory and lucious enough to
the tired pedestrian, and a dish %
stewed wild fruit are set before you,
and, peradventure, a bottle of good wine
is unearthed from some remote cellar to
give a yet more festal character to the re-
past.
Your entertainer could hardly make
more of you if, instead Of being for
eigner happening to pass by, you were
long expected son from America. II you
are alone he will gladly chat with you
after your supper about his farm, the
hardships Of winter, the impoyerishment
of the country by emigration, the pros
porous doings Of his children in the faI
West, and the great constitutional strug
gle which has Of late agitated every
patriotic Norwegian's breast. In his turn
he will ask for information from YOU,
questioning you with delightful frank
ness about your home, family, profession,
ETC. BY such mutual condolences your
friendly footing in the house is firmly es-
tablished; and, as there's little ii the
building itself to remind you TINT you
are at an inn, you soon grow quite Oh
livious Of the fact. If you prolong youI
stay he will be ready to do the part Of
friendly host still further, showing you
over his farm with its goodly finely-carved
storehouse (stabur), its elaborate system
irrigation, and 50 forth. Or if YOU wish
to outwit the willy trout, he will conduct
you to the best pools Of the neighboring
river
When the day for saying adieu to your
kindly host arrives there will be unmis.
taxable signs of sadness on both sides.
The landlord has quite forgotten The
trihing circumstance that you have a biz
to pay, and only brings forward the
regning'' after many demands, ana
even then in an awkward apologetic man.

and that the good man has probably dons
himself the wrong OF omitting one Or

lce-Yacht Against Train.

E. Vinton Blake contributes story ol
ice-yachting on the Hudson to the st.
Nicholas, from which we print the fol-
lowing vivid account of trial Of speed
between an ice-yacht and the fast ex-
press.
There is a roar and rush behind
them. What nuxt2
The down train! The boys look over
their shoulders as the big black monster
shoots past. The whistle blows sharply
there are handkerchiefs waving from the
windows. The ice-yacht is just now
holding nearly acress the river.
"A racel a race, boysp cries the
skipper, as he gives quick turn of his
hand, and with sheer and spring they
are off after the train.
''Now the race-the race, boys! Steam
against wind How they fyl Every
thing is blurred and melted together and
indistinct. The ice is all blush white
haze, with that diamond sparkle from
the runners blazingup.
''The windows of the train are filed
with heads; they seem to shout at the
party on the ice-yacht, who hear only
the rush and roar of the wind and the
runners. The wind increases; the boat
rears higher; the windward runner cuts
fiercely through the air, and the crushed
ice flies in shower. Almost up with
the train, now; and creeping onl
4Will the wind hold? But never fear;
this is no flaw, but a steady gale. II
seems as the black train were slowing
up; yet mott is the yacht which is fly
ing faster, literally on the wings Of the
wind. And nova crack in the ice
ahead
THE skipper raises himself and scans
the ice with eagle eye. An old hand at
ice yaching is he.
"'We can do it, Think, he says.
s'Now, brave 'Rondinar And the
train sees the crack, too; the cars seem
alive all their long length with heads
and gestures and warning shouts. Dc
they think everybody is asleep there on

snorting engine falls behind Wind

boys, and swing your caps, and hold fast
while you are about it. The track is
clear ahead; the locomotive whistles and

A Texas Eden.

Travelling on the old Mckenzie trail
on the third day we stopped to lunch
and water our horses at the fow-out Of
the Blanco (or Whitel river, which flows
through Blanco canyon for forty miles,
and which, it should be remembered,
is only the fresh water fork of the Bra
zos. We had halted at the gate of the
Texas Eden, where the painter would
have stood entranced, pencil and brush
being all too tame to put in lines or
color the grand landscape where earth
and brush and hill and water and cloud
and sky mingled into an indescribable
picture. The sun was shining brightly
adown the valley and upon the mountain
bluffs looming up hundreds Of feet above
the limpid stream flowing through the
center Of the canyon. The grass, which
was tinged with the autumn brown in
the open valley, appeared in great plats
and patches in the hollows and under
the shadows Of the canyon bluffs
Myriads Of flowers, blooming and
withered, cropped out from the hll-
lock, rcck base and open prairie.
Rare among them was the Texas star,
a fve-leaved flower, which heads to
the north-a veritable flower magnet.
Rare it is, and growing still rarer as the
rude hoof Of horse and cattle continue to
trample it out. The hardy Towering
cactus is everywhere. Nature made
big effort in the spreading mouth Of
Blanco canyon. This canyon is about
forty-fve miles long, and widens from
its source like wedge, until at its
mouth there are fifteen or sixteen miles
Of plain and brush and rich grasses. AS
we cross the crystal stream flowing over
limestone and gussum bedswe follow the
trial up over the bluff, where the fossil
sea- shells crop out on every bare surface,
and there, stretching away to the far dis
tance, we see and for the first time re-
alize the extent Of the ranges known as
the ''Staked Plains" In the wonderfully
clear sunlight we see herds of cattle feed
ing, and away toward hill range some
startled antelopes are scampering off in
alarm. This trail up the steep bluff over
which we have just come has been beaten
into smooth path by the countless feet
of buffalo anG antelope and Indians for
centuries. Here, where the savage in
his primitive brutality once hunted the
noble game, we now see cattle feeding
undisturbed in the great range of the
Kentucky Cattle Raising company. The
buffalo have departed, but in their place
have come short-horn cattle, showing
the peaceful marriage between the wild
cattle of the West and the thoroughbreds

The Future Newspaper.

A few hundred years, says writer in

A newspaper Of one hundred years ago

the time when published, relates to facts

Once there, he had to pull and tug at
the rope until the rowboat was directly
under the stern of the canal barge; and
then, still terribly frightened, and as
much afraid of the water as of the men,
yet knowing he must getaway from them,
he dropped into the rowboat, drew his
little pearI-handled knife from his pocket,
and after some saving back and forth
with the not very sharp blade, succeeded
in cutting himself free from his prison,
and was speedily floating about on the
dark waters. far behind the canal boat.
Poor little Johnny he cried then fast
and hard enough; but neither the sobs
nor the voice reached the ears Of the two
men, who were half -tipsy over their beer

There was danger that Johnny's boat
would be run down, of course, by the
many vessels going by; but a kind Prov

and when large boat, from whose

THE CONVENTION. - Last week 8
convention in the Ev. church was in a
general sense a successful affair. In
the last few days there was consider
able increase of singers and when the
time for the concerts had come the
class numbered about sixty. The best
talent in town vas represented assisted
by good musicians from other places
and under the able direction of Prof.P.
III. Meyer the choruses. quartettes, &c,
were, executedIn an admirable manner.
The concerts on Friday and Saturday
evenings were voted fine treats by all
who attended them.
Prof. Lowell Meyer deserves marked
credit for his excellent performances
and much of the success.of the concerts
was due to his valuable help. Among
other pleasing songs Prof. Lowell Mey-
er rendered several Irish dittys as orig
NAL as il he had come fresh from the
Emerald Isle.
One of the most comic features was
the "bazoo" band led by Prof. Lowell.
Prof. Kurzenknabe as organist acquit-
ted himself in his usual mastery style
and his skillful playing greatly aided
the conductor in his weeks work.
The concert on Saturday evening was
especially good and the building was
we'll filled with spectators. all of whom
seemed we'll entertained. Rev. B.
Hengst on this occasion made few ap-
propriate remarks which were much
appreciated by his attentive audience.
All concerned feel that they have spent
a pleasant week together and we cheer
fully sustain Rev. Hengst in his wish
to have it repeated at least once year.
The net proceeds amounted to 1921
which will be applied to the Town
Clock fund.
Last Monday evening singing
class was organized IN the Evangelical
church, to be instructed by Prof. H. j.
Kurzenkuabe, for a term of twelve les.
sous. The class will meet twice
week, Monday and Saturday evenings.
Prot. Kurzenknabe also proposes to
start juvenile class, to be taught on
the same days in the afternoon. Per-
sons wishing to receive thorough rudi-
mental instruction in vocal music
would do we'll to join the adult class
and parents are invited to send their
children to tie juvenile class.
