Of Scandinavian Origin---They

Special to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, MIMI, July 29.-I am
much interested and highly pleased
with the independence of some of the
young Scandinavian people that fire.
quently meet in this section. They are
mostly of American birth and have a
goOdly amount of education, and are
very social and pleasant company, and
L like them; rather glorify my own
country for having such class of peo-
pie, at least those that | have met, for L
believe they will honor the land of their
birth and others the land of their
adoption, though other lands are their
birthplace. They are very proud, bu
it is a
PRIDE THAT I REJOICE IN,
for L have not much sympathy for any
young person that wants fine clothing
and yet will take what money he or she
can any way extract from her father or
mother. utterly regardless of the
straits" her parents may be in and
need the money-a wife is often no bet
ter in that respect, and certainly has
not the independence of spirit to say,
81 will earn the money 1 want in some
way" Not so with my young friends,
as they help father with the spring work,
then they are ready to come into town
and do homework until harvest time,
and then home again to help in the
grain fields. Having the respect of all
they meet they are the welcome guests
among all the best families, and they
do enjoy life hugely. This working

clothing they wear, and which they
would be very much ashamed to ask
father to get for them. Father provides
all that is comfortable for them to wear.
and who shall say they are not entitled
to what
THEY EARN AND WEAR
in their own way; it's honest work they
do for you, and that, too, without any
complaining, even if others think the
task is hard work and might be made
less burdensome. They go to work and
do it. These are not the young
ladies" that sit down at home for an old
mother to wait upon and work for. Not
at all. They are too proud to do that,
and sometimes l think of the woman
wife and mother, who tolls for all the
family day by day in thankless drudg-
cry, and wish her daughters were also
too proud to see their mother a slave
for them while they sit idle or read
trashy yellow-cOvered literature"
If these readers would awake from
such senselesS stupor and 20 out into
the kitchen, take the work from that
TIRED MOTHERS HANDS,
and do it faithfully, while the mother
rested many days and nights, how
good that would appear to those that
could and would appreciate such help
fulneSS, and how much she would be
benefited by it words could not tell. /
know there are daughters that might
lift the burden from the weary, aching
back if they would, and to such daugh-
tiers the blessing is withheld that comes
to the girl who, away from the farm and
at work in town, remembers that her
mother grows tired with little work, land
father is glad to see her come
WITH QUICK, LIGHT STEP
out into the field and take hold of work
beside him all the day long. l would
say to all daughters of the household
that the best and brightest, the most ap-
preciated ornament in the farmhouse
as for that matter in any households
the daughter that brings her young
strength to the help of her father and
mother during the heat and burden of
their day. Do not wonder that am so
in love with my young friends of Scan
dinavian descent for their proud and
independent spirit, that will not ask
father for what he can ill afford to give
them. Mrs. MARTHA CRANDALL.
