II an American citizen Of even fifty

The Freeman of Webster City, Iowa,
says: Last Saturday morning j. Il.
Sogard received a remarkably interest
ing document from Christianla, Nor
way, and oie which he prizes very
highly 1t came from the government
museum at Chrstiania, and is an exact
copy of two deeds of very ancient date,
the original deeds having been pre-
served and placed on exhibition i'm the
museum. The deeds are for a certain
farm which the Sogard family has pos
sessed for centuries and upon which
two of his brothers Simon Of Web
ster City and John Of Iowa city were
born. The first deed Is dated July /,
1881, or more than 500 years ago. A
better realization Of the age of this
deed is had when II is remembered
/ that the Sogard family was in posses
sion of the farm more than 100 years
before Columbus discovered America,
and IT is probable that their ownership
dates much farther back than Is shown
by this deed The later instrumen,
was executed in 1913, nearly seventy
| five years before the landing Of the pill
grim fathers at Plymouth" gentle
man from a neighboring town tells
the Troy Times that he has seen the
ancient document alluded TO, but was
unable to read It, as 1t Is written in the
Nor wegian language. lie adds thai
| the property is in the town Of Oalen

Add It's the Kind OF Peide That Isn't
at All Productive.

The daughter OF the South African
Boer must not become a domestic
servant, except on condition Of having
her meals with the family III my
child is not good enough for your fa-
bic she shall not live in your house"
said father A poor woman With
drew her son from an office because he
was learning some duty which she
deemed menial, and, "thank God" said
she, my family never yet did any
slavery OF that kind" A gentleman
whom | knew secured employment on
the railway for a young fellow as por-
ter. On the very FIRST request Of
passenger to lend hand with luggage
he replied Indignantly, What do you
take me for? Do you think I am a
Kafiir2" These poor folks cannot for
get that they once had farms and were
independent For two centuries they
compelled the service Of a lower race,
and now they would rather starve
than work like a KaHr." For various
reasons they have lost their lands. and
1t Is bitter cry that is being raised
throughout South Africa that these
lands are passing into the hands Of
strangers, and the erstwhile landed
gentry OF the country are face to face
with the dread alternative, work or
starve."
