THEIRS FOR 500 YEARS.
Farm in Norway Which Has Been Owne
by One Family Since 1881.


The Freeman of Webster City, Iowa,
says: Last Saturday morning J. E.
SCgard received a remarkably interest
ing document from Christiania, Nor
way, and one which he prizes very
highly. 1t came from the government
museum at Christiania, and is an exact
copy Of two deeds of very ancient date,
the original deeds having been pre-
served and placed on exhibition in the
museum. The deeds are for certain
farm which the Sogard family has pos
sessed for centuries and upon which
two CT his brotheTs-Simon OF Web
ster City and John Of Iowa City-were
born. The first deed is dated July 1,
1891, or more than SEQ years ago. A
better realization OF the age OF this
deed is had when it 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 instrument
was executed in 1913, nearly seventy
five years before the landing of the pill
grim fathers at Plymouth A 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 it is written IN the
Norwegian language. He adds that
the property is in the town OF Oalen,
near the town Of Hamar. and that the
larges. city near the place is Chris
tiania. and that the document states 1t
is given in the reign OF King Hakon,
bv the grace Of God king Of Norway
and Sweden.

try To do the same. You may remem-
Der that | said | should allow myself

yes, recall the conve:sa ton, but
don't quite see the connection"
Well, | never smoked, but l nut by
the price OF a iive-cent cigar every day /;
and, Is the money accumulated,
bought books,-the very books YOU
see"
You don't mean to say that your
books cost no r.ore than that, Why,
there are dollars worth of them"
Eyes, know there are. l had six
years more Of nay apprenticeship to

WAR At LAST.

Those who foudIy hoped that the
Cuban question would be settled with
out an appeal to the arbitrament Of the
sword have been disappointed, and to-
day an American squadron is blockad-
ing the harbor Of Havana, and troops
are being hurried to Key West to be in
readiness 10 embark for Cuba as soon
as possible.
While every citizen OF this country
cannot but believe that the result Of the
struggle viii be the complete overthrow
Of Spanish rule, and the establishment
of free government in Cuba, still ii is
to be regretted that, in this enlightened
age, two Christian nations could not
arrive at a settlement Of their differ
ences without resort to war, with all
its inevitable horrors. The righteous
Indignation OF our people at the destruc-
ton 81 Maine, however, and the refusal
Of The, Spanish government to Weld up
possession Of 1aisgov erned Cuba to the
patriot army, could Laye no other re-
suit than struggle the end of which
maj he near or remote and viii be &C
oompanied By sacrifice Of blood and
treasure that only the glory Of victory
in freedoms canse can atone for. Snain
viii be no easy foe, upon the ocean, at
least, to yanqU;sh The pride Of the
Spanish people las been reused as it
lever WAS before, aud may never be
again, so that It vile as well to expect
some Eery hard knocks before the sati-
ron flag Of SPAN is lowered for ali time
in the Western seas.
But no matter how great our sacrifices
may be, Cd Glory will never be low
cred IN diahonor. 1t Will be borne to
victory 4; any cost by united and ir-
rcsistiblc army.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such il is not liable to any form
of disease except bv one of two WAYS.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other dis
eases.
Chief Cause.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neps Is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. SO the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not IL
able TO weakness or disease, except in
rare cases. 1t is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, therefore
any pain, disease or Inconvenience
manifested in the kidneys, back, blad-
der or urinary passage is often, by ms
take, attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error
is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty ;Our hours;
sediment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect OF DR.. kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder
remedy is soon realized. Ifyou need a
medicine you should have the best. At
druggists fifty cents and one dollar
