NORWEGIAN HOSPITALITY.
Recollections From the Boyhood Days Of
II Rnvosnn

With delightful vividness / remember
sitting in the prov of my grandfathers
cabln-boat, rowed by twelve sturdy
oarsmen. when he sailed forth in state,
twice year, to hold court in the vari
Gus districts of his circuit. The col
onel, who lived days journey from
our place, always stood on his pier, with
a telescope in his hand, watching for
that boat, and when it hove in
sight he ran up his flag as an invita-
tion to the judge and his retinue to
spend the night under his hospita BILE
roof. The judge then responded with
his flag, and with splendid flourish we
sailed up to the coloners pier, where
the family were now congregated. And
there were speeches of welcome made,
to which gracious responses were re-
turned delightfully."- forid and old
fashioned;) whereupon /, being a very
small boy, was passed down the long
row of the coloners daughters (he had
seven,) and, much to my disgust,
kissed by each one of them. The
twelve oarsmen were sent to the ser.
wants hall, where they were abundant
ly entertained, and my grandfather
and were welcomed once more in the
anteroom (the garden-parlor, they
called it. where bottle of old port
was opened and our healths were drunk
with much heartiness and good will
And thus be continued from day to day
and from week to week our triumphal
progress from place to place in one
ford and out another; being always
sure of two or three hospitable flags
waving their invitation to as between
noon and sun down. Often, when the
weather was bad, we were urged te
stay over two or three days in one
place, with all our oarsmen, and they
were housed and fed without money
and without price, and, what is more.
without producing the least ripple Of
disturban in the household. There
was something truly magnificent about
the hospitality of those days The
silver-twice or thrice as much as was
used-was piled high on the table. in
order to show the dignity and the re-
sources of the family: and there was an
air of quiet prosperity and abundance
which was twice as impressive as the
breathless competition in senseless lux.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 27.-The stalwart
or straight-out, Democrats received q
black eye this afternoon. when the regular
or fusion, Democratic state central com
mittee decided upon July for the state
convention. The stalwarts had been ma
neuvering to secure an early convention
but Chairman Jones of the regular com.
mittee was obdurate. and pulled his
strings so that the above date was selected.
The discussion of the fusion question was
somewhat protracted. AS the fusionIsts
won the fight, it would seem as though
there was probability of the pOpulists'
being taken into camp.
Before the result of the ballot was
known, Chairman Jones said:
THE action of the stalwarts will not in
fuence our actions in the least. We will
call convention, but it is for the MEM
berS OF the committee to say when il is to
be held. The s:alwarts cannot expect us
to pay any attention to them, as they only
cast about $50 votes last fall"
This would Indicate fight between the
regulars and the fusionists.
Topeka was selected AS the place for
holding the convention.

DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27-As a result of
several informal conferences among promi-
nent delegates to the recent congress of
the Daughters Of the American Revolu-
tlon. who were dissatisfied with the
methods OF business adopted at the cou-
gress, some radical changes iu the organi-
cation OF that society are now in contem-
piatlon. Several forms of propositions
looking to restricting the powers of the
national board, and others TO altogether
abrogate them, will soon be submitted to
various influential chapters. The purpose
is declared to be to cause a congress to
assemble which can meet, elect Its own
omcers, and proceed to transact its busi-
uoss without restrictions

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-While the volume OF
business on the Stock exchange was not very
large, there was an approach to buoyancy IN
the dealing, and an absence Of bear sentiment.
which had healthful effect upon the mar
ket. Among the causes which led up TO this
result the most prominent was the decision
in the United States district court at Chicago
regarding the railroad men and the interstate
law. The point made is that under such a
ruling the interstate commerce act is to be re-
garded as dead letter, and the conclusion Is
drawn that this state OF affairs is beneficial
to the railroads. Consequently the shorts
Were in a mood TO cover today, and their pur-
chases. supplemented by buying by the room
did not meet with serious antagonism on the
part of the bears. The news from Washing
ton was favorable to the sugar interests, and
all the shares of the American Sugar Refining
company were benefited thereby. 1t was
rumored that heavy bear operator was en-
gagged in a covering movement preparatory to
leaving town, and this, TOO, helped the bull
side of the market. The day was singularly
free from reports calculated to depress the
speculative mind. and the general trend of
prices throughout the day was in the direc-
tion Of higher figures.
AT the opening Of business prices were tr-
regular, on slight changes, but the market
quickly took an upward turn and, under the
leadership of Sugar, st. Paul, Burlington, and
General Electric. the general list with few
exceptions, recorded a material advance.
During the morning occasional reactions oc-
CURED in the general list but the net result OF
the fluctuations was the establishment OF
higher figures, and the market swung into
noon with a decidedly strong tone to the
speculation. Prices did not change materially
between midday and half past O'Clock being
very firmly held; but at that hour, under the
lead of Sugar, fractional reaction occurred.
The depression was of brief duration, and dur
ing the last hour the market was strong, and
closed at or near the best figures Of the day,
with prices 4@l3s per cent above the closing
sales of yesterday.
The railway and miscellaneous bond mar
ket was firm during the entire day, and closed
strong.

SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 21.-The race track to-
dal was the scene Of intense excitement,
caused by an unsatisfactory ruling in the
pating race. There were three starters in the
2:l5 class, Waldo J. having been given first
money without starting. Ben Butler won the
fr,t heat, and by the rank decision Of Judge
Mtone Almo J. was awarded the second heat
ard also took the third, Ben Butler intention
ally allowing himself to be distanced. At the
finish of the second heat Ben Butler came un-
der the wire a neck ahead of AlmoJ the latter
tlso breaking badly, and howl went up from
the throng when the judge announced Almo
J. the winner Pandemonium reigned and the
track was crowded for while, even the back
ers of Almo J. admitting the unfairness OF the
decision. Mr.. Llewellyn of Los Angeles,
owner of Ben Butler, protested, but in vain.
His horse was sent in again to lose, as there
vas no hope of anything further in the face OF
such q decision. When Judge MALONE left the
ground he was escorted by six horsemen, a
hooting crowd following. The horsemen to-
night signed an agreement not to enter their
horses in any race presided over by Judge
Malone.
In the 40 trot Paloma Prince won easily,
Thompson second, Ell Molino third; time, Z:26,
2:2615, 1926.
In the mile dash Moses B. won in ;45}5, fol-
