NORTH DAKOT
A GREAT A e.

BJornstjerne BJorson and His LIES
Work.
The leader of the N%orwegians is, of
course, Bjornstjerne Bjornson, far
mer, novelist and statesman. An in
dependent Norwegian republic has
been and still is the dream and am
bition of his life,
To it best thoughts and hardest
toll are given. Years ago, when he
first avowedh his republicanism, he was
unpopular. Norway wanted indie
pendence, but under a king OF her
own. She was not yet educated up to
republicanism. Then, amid unpopu-
larity, Bjornson began the task OF
educating thepeople inpolitics. Now,
he has succeeded. Norway is repub-
lican to the core. And he is by far
the most popular leader in the whole
country. He is not only a republi-
can-he is an advanced radical and
as such he not only has a majority of
the Norwegian parliament, but Of the
Norwegian people also at his back.
Bjornson's writings are we'll known
to the world. And Norway is very
proud of his fame as a writer. Yet
to-day l think he is held in higher es-
TEEN as a statesman and political
leader. Heis regarded as the destined
liberator of his country and as the
founder OF the republic. He has,
moreover, entire faith in himself and
in the success of the cause he cham
pions. His oratory is superb. No
where else in Europe, now that Gam.
BETA is dead, is there any like it. His
speech is like one OF his own Norwe-
gian cataracts in the impetuosity of
it's flow. 1t startles, and flashes, and
CLOVIS with enthusiasm. 1t roars and
thunders with intense conviction.
Whether on the public platform or in
his own house at Aulested, before a
multitude or in the presence of three
or four friends, he is one of the most
masterful speakers in all the world

Discoverers Of Rich Finds Always
Come to Violent Ends.
There is a superstition prevalent in
the gold fields in the West that the
discoyerer of a rich find is sure to
meet with a violent end, and some
thirty-five or forty instances in point
are readily quoted. Out of the forty
or less twelve were shot or stabbed to
death in saloons and other broils,
five committed suicide, three were
engulfed by land slides, five turned
murderers and robbers and were
caught and executed in various ways,
one fell into a boiling spring and had
the flesh literally stewed from his
bones, while the others have disap-
peared and no one knows what ever
became of them.
George H. Fryer, once the million
aire and proprietor OF the "Fryer

between himself and starvation.
