A SWEDISH ESTATE
And the Part which an eX-SWed-
iSh Consul Took i'm the
Matter.

Everybody in Sedalia. nearly,
knows Oscar AnGreen. the weIl-known
representative of the ST. Louis Paper
company, whose visits to Sedalia are
no less welcome than frequent. The
Republic of yesterday relates a little
story concerning Mr.. Andreen that
may prove interesting to many read
ers of the BAzoo:
Ten years ago Mr.. Andreen was the
Swedish and Norwegian consul at St.
Louis, and transacted large amount
of business for those countries, but
the pressure of unremnnerated labor
became so heavy at last that he felt
compelled to retire. One of the most
interesting and extraordinary cases
which came into his hands is detailed
now for the first time. 1t is related
that in 1913, or thereabouts. Lord
Baltimore granted a concession of
lands in Delaware to the great Swedish
missionary, Springer, in return for his
remarkable labOrs among the Indians.
Springer accepted the gift. and in turn
dedicated it to religious purposes for
the erection thereon of a house of pub
lie worship. Shortly thereafter the
missionary returned 10 his native
home, Usalla, and died. After the
lapse of many years settlers crowded
upon Springer's lands and finally the
city of Wilmington arose from its en-
erald bosom. All, this time the Origi-
nal title is supposed TO have been vest
ed in Springer and his heirs AbOu;
ten years ago the descendants of the
headed by Congressman
Springer, of Illinois, got themselves
together and determined to lay claim
to all the territory upon which the city
of Wilmington is founded. They first
traced out their descent with
accuracy. Then they de
cided that there must be
some record at UsalIa of
Springer'a disposition of his property, |
and to procure that record the
services of Mr.. Andreen was sought.
Mr.. Andreen smiled and shook his
head, but promptly communicated
the matter to the government and
was as promptly informed that the
parties shonld communicate
with the American minister at Stock
holm. They were wise enough to
know that the minister wouldn't be
bothered with private enterprise of
that character, so they endeavored to
secure the personal services of Mr..
Andreen in order that he might 20 to
Usalla and himself search the records,
out he was otherwise engaged at the
lime and could not be persuaded to
undertake the task. What finally be-
came of the movement nobody seems
o know, but it was spendid dash for
many millions of dollars worth of
and might have succeeded
f the Swedish records had proved
o be suspicious.

SAMMY TROTTER'S TRIP.
The Faith of a Mother in the
Average Railroad Con-
ouctOr.

Railway conductors as rule are
abused like pickpockeis by the travel,
ing public, especially by that portion
of it that don't know a caboOse from
q palace Car and never made but one
trip In their lives. AS a matter of
fact, there is not a bigger-hearted set
of men on earth than the average
passenger conductor. They are never
found wanting in any emergency.
These reflections were called up vivid
ly to the mind of a BAZoo reporter
who was on last Tuesday, travelling
ON the Lexington & Southern divis-
ion of the Missouri Pacific, between
Nevada and Joplin. On the train
was a wee mite of a boy, about seven
years old. He was travelling alone
and his timidity and lonesomeness
attracted the attention of he passen
gers.
"He's all right" said the big burly
good natured conductor In reply to, a
question by lady, don't you worry
about the kid. He's got his passport"
whats that"
Look at that" and the conductor
exhibited a note securely fastened to
the little wayrarers clothing. 1t read
as follows.
March 10, 1859.
Mr.. Conductor: This introduces
you to little Sammy Trotter of
Nevada, Vernon County Mo.
enroute to Fayetteville, Ark. to visit
his grandmother. Mrs. Caroline Hager.
You will find him nice. manly little
fellow, worthy of any kindness and at
tention you may feel disposed to render
a little fatherIess boy"
The boy had his passport. That
conductor would have waded through
fire and water and wreck for his tiny
charge. There was no danger but that
boy would reach Fayetteville right
side up with care. He wore Cleve-
land and Thurman cap, and was petted
by every passenger on the train. But
the conductor alone had his sacred !
honor bound up in the safety of the
little fatherless boy. The boys mother
resides In Nevada.

RULES FOR SWEEPING.
How to Use a Broom without Exhaustine
All Your Strength.

How to Use a Broom without Exhausting
All Your Strength.
The first requisite to easy sweeping
is good broom. When buying select
one with light, slender handle and
long, plant straws A thick handle
adds unnecessary weight, is clumsy to
handle and tiresome to the hands.
Coarse, heavy straws are too
brittle, they break off easily, and the
broom soon wears out. To determine
the quality of the straws it is neces-
sary to examine them carefully, push
ing the outer ones aside with. the fin
gers, so that the inside may be seen,
for frequently Il layer of longer. slen-
der straws on the outside is used to set
off a very inferior article.
Having obtained a good broom, my
first injunction is do not grasp the
handle too tightly with the upper
hand. Let the hold be light enough to
allow the handle to slide up and down
through the hand with each forward
and backward swing of the broom. This
will prevent your putting too much
weight on the broom, which is an i'm
portant matter. and, what is still more
important, save much unnecessary
twisting of the body and working of
the arms. Care should be taken, how
ever, that the hold be not too loose, as
that will render the broom unsteady
Again, always work with the upper
arm, never the lower, towards the di-
rection in which you are sweeping,
changing your hold upon the handle,
the upper hand for the lower and the
lower for the upper, as frequently as
you turn about to go in an opposite di-
rection. This keeps the broom in its
proper position, which is as nearly
perpendicular as possible, and, since
it is the lower arm that supplies the
power that operates the broom, this
change is restful to the arms and
shoulders by dividing the labor be-
tween the right arm and the left,
and frequently changing the po-
sition of the body. If you have
not been accustomed to doing this.
you will find it little awkward
at first, but it will soon become quite
natural to make the change, and you
will be surprised at the ease and thor
Oughness with which you can do your
sweeping, as compared with the old
method of retaining the same hold up
on the handle throughout
Lastly, do not make too long a stroke
with the broom. Nothing is gained;
while, on the other hand. much labor
is wasted by throwing the broom so
far back that only the sides of the
straws are at first applied to the floor,
and by extending the stroke so far to
the front that the broom rises into the
air, sending the dust flying in clouds
through the room. Use the broom
lightly and briskly, keeping it close to
the floor, and making stroke of but
from two to two and a half feet in
length; and if, while observing all the
foregoing rules, you will in addition
sweep crosswise of the strip of carpet,
you will find the result to be great
saving in brooms, saving in carpet
and saving in much valuable strength

STARTLING FIGURES.
a Mathema teal Genius Describes How
Life Is Made Up.

a Mathema teal Genius Describes How
Life Is Made Up.
A man whose head is bullying with
mathematical problems has figured out
the disposition of every hour of the
daily life of an average man, and tells
just how many hours man of fifty
years has devoted to his toilet, meals
or newspaper. LET us assume" said
he, that the sleeping hours of an
average man will number eight daily.
This is one-third of his time, go in
fifty years your man will have slept,
all told, sixteen years and eight
months. The man who is shaved daily
at fifty years probably had his face
scraped not oftener than three times
per week at twenty-five years, while
during his eighteen years a razor
never touched his face. Say that
the semi-centenarian has averaged
two shaves week for fifty
years, and that will give
$500 scrapes in the half century At
an average of fifteen minutes per shave
the time devoted to this one small ele-
ment of life will run up to fifty-nine
days and nine hours. If man should
not shave in fifty years, and then at
tempt to make up his proportion all at
once he would have to shave night and
day for nearly two months.
1.-The average man, WHO'S not limited
to twenty minutes for dressing, break
fast and catching the train, consumes
about thirty minutes in getting inside
his clothing in the morning. Half an
hour per day for fifty years would
amount to one year, fifteen days and
five hours, so that if man should
dress himself at the start in life for the
whole fifty years he would pass two
weeks beyond his birthday anniver-
sary, and this means working twenty
four hours per day. A bath should
precede dressing, however, and
twenty minutes a day for that
purpose would put a man in
the tub for eight months, thir-
teen days and eleven hours out of the

day, or four months, five days and
twenty hours in half century. Why,
just single minute every day spent in
hunting for a collar-button means twen-
ty days and fourteen hours in the
course of fifty years.
Half an hour for breakfast, forty
minutes for lunch and an hour for din
ner amount to five months, five DAYS
and nine hours of eating in fifty years
of life. A man who lives away up in
the Twenty-eighth ward, and spends
an hour each day jogging to and from
business in a hOrse-car, may not re-
alize it, but it is nevertheless true that
in thirty years, On year, three months,
one day and six hours of his time will
go in that way. When a man reckons
his time as worth 80 cents an hour, it
seems rather rough to think that it
takes $1S2.50 worth every year to get
to business and back home every day."
