Remarkable Career of Norwegian
Who Loved Not His Own Coun-
try Less, But America More.


Prof. Boyesen, who died at New York
yesterday, was born at Frederiksvaern,
Norway, September %, 1s4S. He was u
very robust young man. He studied at
Leipsic, Germany, and was graduated from
the University of .Cbristiania, Norway, in
1868. In 1863, with a younger brother,
he came to the United States. The English
language interested him greatly, and he
studied 1t very diligently. The years 1869
and 1870 he spent in Chicago, editing
Norwegian paper, Fremad, devotng the
evenings to. the English poets. He himself
has said he was very fond OF Shakespeare,
Shelley and Keats. but disliked Words
worth. Of this perior he said:
'It was during this first winter In Chi
cago that my fathers words-about max

guaEe the test of my ability-returned
to me with renewed force, and l resolved
to make the English language completely

finer sense of the color aud individuality
of the language I would have to cease 10
be bilingual. l would not acquire English
as an additional accomplishment, but 1
would, If possible, substitute it for my
mother tongue. 1 would make it the nat
ural medium ofmy speech and thought.
In order to do this would have 10 put
my mother tongue behind me; would have
to live in a community where 1 heard
nothing but English. I. therefore, ex-
changed my editorial position for
tutorship of Latin and Greek in a small

His first romance "Zuunar," written
while he was at Urbana, was a Success.
While in Boston looking for publisher

Readers Of New York Sunday Pa

New in The Sum-

IT TLEADSINLOOAL FEATURES

A great many people object,
and very naturally, to buying a
local Sunday Paper when most
of these papers charge nearly as
much for only part of the gen.
eral features which are found in
the great New York Sunday news
papers.
THE SUNDAY TIMES quiets both
these objections.
1t costs less than any large
Sunday paper in America.
1t makes a speciality of features
which cannot be found in the
New York newspapers.
THE SUNDAY TINES, then,
while it is a great and sufficient
newspaper in itself, is also neces-
sary to Washington readers of
New York Sunday newspapers.
Here are a few articles to be
found in its columns tomorrow:

Mile. Jeanne Benaben is a young
bluestocking of whose extraordinary
attainments all France is talking. This
exceedingly scholarly young woman re-
ceived the college degree of bachelor Of
arts two years ago, when she was 16.
She then became professor of philosophy
in a woman's college at Lyons, and this
year she was candidate at the Sor-
bonnie for the important degree of licen-
tiate in philosophy. The examiners
were prepared for a prodigy, but were
nevertheless amazed at the extent of her
erudition and her serene composure in
dealing with the vexed problems of Des-
cartes, Kant and Comte. She was third
on list of 900 candidates, all of them
older than herself, and is now lecturer
on the science Of the mind in the Col
lege of Rouen. If she does not develop
an unlucky love affair Of the Bashkirt-
self or Kovalevsky kind, she will have a
great future. New York Tribune.

Favor Woman Suffrage.

Those who are in favor of woman s
suffrage will be gratified to learn that
there are in the new British parliament
no less than 240 members pledged to
female enfranchisement. And, what is
more, they for the most part belong to
the Conservative and Unionist side Of
the house and include several members
of the cabinet, among others Mr.. Arthur
Balfour, the leader of the house and
first lord of the treasury, and Sir John
Gorst, the minister of education. Incl
dentally it may be mentioned that in
olden times ladies who were great land
owners enjoyed the right of voting at
parliamentary elections, and there are
several cases on record, notably one in
1912, when Lady Dorothy Patington,
by reason of her proprietorship of the
land, enjoyed the exclusive right of
electing the member of parliament for
Aylesbury In times still more remote
all the women freeholders of the city Of
London were inscribed on the list of
registered voters This shows once more

Topeka has young woman, aged II,
Adele Pollock by name, who for amuse-
ment learned to turn horseshoe in her
fathers blacksmith shop. At recent
entertainment for the benefit of a church
Miss Adele appeared in match against
two of the most expert blacksmiths in
the city. Three portable FORCES were
placed upon the stage. Each of the con-
testants was allowed a helper to blow
the bellows. She appeared in very
workmanlike garb-a corduroy skirt
and leather apron, Her competitors
smiled indulgently at her when time
was called, but became anxious, then
alarmed and finally discounted when
she turned and cast perfect horseshoe
before the judges in less than four min
utes, The curtain dropped on the pretty
picture of the flaming forge, and few
minutes later Miss Pollock appeared
among her friends daintily clad in
white, and charmed all by her graceful
manner.

it was necessary to have her admitted to
