Christina Nilsson.

Nearly fifty years ago a curious Incl
dent took place in a Swedish town. A
blue-eyed golden-haired little girl
peered into the windows of a fancy
ware store She was wondering whether
her purse held enough to buy a pocket
book. 1t was to be a birthday gift for
schOolfellow. Plucking up heart, the
child went in. Toys, pictures. books, all
seemed beyond her Tears rose in the
wandering eyes, and she thought of de-
parting. A good spirit yet hovered near
The girl saw a fiddle and bow Soon she
drew forth sweet music. By-andby the
player found rapt ears, and when the
last notes died kindly voices cried out,
Play again. little one" Money enough
was gathered for a pretty pocketbook
and a balance left to take home. The
violinist was Christina Nilsson.
Everything in her life story reads like
an idyll by Willin or Tegner. Born in
the land of Jenny Lind fiftythree years
since, Christina Nilsson's earliest mem
ories are of a humble and pious home,
and of open-air joys in the pine woods
adjacent. The youngest of large fam
lily, she was often the companion of her
father, a forester, who toiled from dawn
to sundown. To a musical genius like
his daughter, the sounds of nature
birds caroling, the wind rustlng sym
phonies in the foliages, and the under
tone of the ripping streams-awoke re-
sponsive chords. She began to warbll
In union with a fiddler brother the twain
made the long dark evenings at home
joyous by strings and voice. Brother
and sister grew adventurous. They stole
to the fairs and performed. Not the
$50, 900 realized by Madame Nilsson in
America ever gave her the delight of the
humble coins put into her mothers hand
after returning from the fairs.
Christina Nilsson's voice, with all the
freshness of a birds, excited strange in
terest among the crowd of pleasure
seekers. One day Bishop Thornerhjelm
heard the girl sing. The good man stood

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
Lands May be Listed in Adjoining
COMMITTEES

An erroneous opinion seems to have
been formed by some land owners on
the Yolo side of the river to the effect
that efforts are being made by the
Chamber of Commerce to get only land
owners of Sacramento County interest
ed in the sugar beet proposition.
Such is not the case, however. AS a
matter of fact, of the committees ap-
pointed at the meeting on Tuesday two
were for districts in Yolo County-Lis-
bon District and Merritt Island
Thsre is a large quantity of land
above Sacramento which is known to
be well adapted to sugar beet culture,
and the same can be said of other por-
tions of Yolo, Solano, Colusa and Sut
ter Counties, most of which territory
is tributary to Sacramento by water or
rail
The Cham Of Commerce has al
ready made application to the railroad
company for special rates on sugar
beets, being satisfied that the company
Will give proper encourag cement to the
beet sugar enterprise.
All persons desiring to list their lands
can do so by calling on or writing to
j. o. Coleman, Secretary, giving the
number of acres, and where located.
Where persons are in doubt about
their land being adapted to sugar beet
growing the same will be examined by
an expert on beet culture.
Some new auxiliary committees have
been selected. J. F. Gladney, William
Berry and James Chatterton have been
notified of their appointment for the
Antelope District. P. S. Driver and
7. H. Cook of the Chamber of Com
merce will assist this committee.
George Mcconnell, John Mahon, Nor
ris Cotton and Abraham Woodland have
