Farm In Norway which Has Been owned

The Freeman of Webster City. Iowa,
says: Last Saturday morning ]. e.
Sogard received remarkably interest
ing document from Christiania, Nor
way, and onh 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 OF his brothers-Simon OF Web
ster City and John OF Iowa City--were
born. The first deed is dated July l,
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 II 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 tho
Norwegian language. He adds thai
the property is In the town OF Oalen
near the town OF Hamar, and that th'
largest city near the place is Chris
uania and that the document states i
is given in the reign OF King flakon
by the grace OF God king OF Norway

existence among the blacks. 1 there
fore walked straight up to the evil
looking monster, and then, taking
short run, / leaped high into the air,
shot over his head, and landed on his
scaiy back, at thef.same time giving a
Yamba, whom 1 had left in charge of
the boat.
A FIGHT WITH AN ALLIGATOR.
The moment landed on his back 1
struck the alligator with all my force
with my tomahawk on what I eonsid-
cred the most vulnerable part of his
head. So powerful was my stroke that
I found, to my dismay, that I could not
get the weapon out of his head again.
While was in this extraordinary stu
misunderstanding on the back of an enor-
nous alligator, and Juggling at my TOM
ahawk imbedded in its head-Yamba
came rushing up the path carrying one
of the paddles, which, without a mo-
ment's hesitation, she thrust down the
alligator's throat as he turned to snap
at her. In this way the monster was
prevented from moving his head either
backward or forward, and then, draw
ing my stiletto, 1 blinded him in both
eyes, afterward finishing him leisurely
with my tOmahawk, when at length I
managed to release it. Yamba was i'm
ment, and when we returned to the
mainland she gave her tribesmen
graphic account of my gallantry and
bravery. But she always did this. She
was my advance agent and bill-poster,
so to say. / found in going into a new
country that my fame had preceded
me; and 1 must say this was most
convenient and useful in obtaining hos
pitality, concessions and assistance
generally. The part I had played in
connection with the death of the two
whales had already earned for me the
admiration of the blacks-not only in
my own tribe, but all over the coun-
try; and after this encounter with the
alligator they looked upon me as
very great and powerful parsonage in
deed. We did not bring the dead mon
ster back with us, but next day num-
Der of the blacks went over for it with
their catamaranS, and towed the rep
tile back to the mainland, where it was
viewed with open-mouthed amazement
by crowds of admiring natives So
great was the estimation in which my
prowess was held that little scraps of
the dead alligator were distributed Gas
relies, presumably among the tribes
throughout the whole of the surround
ing country.

one of the chiefs on board came I'D
with US, but, although deeply grateful
for Yamba'S and my own safety, l was
still greatly distressed at the loss OF my
boat. Never once did this thought
leave my mind. / remembered, too, with
Dang, that l had now no tools with
which to build another boat, and to
venture out into the open sea on
catamaran, probably for weeks, simp-
ly meant counting certain destruction.
My harpoon had evidently inflicted
mortal wound on the whale baby. be-
cause, as we looked, We saw 1t lying
exhausted on the surface of the water,
ard being gradually swept nearer and
nearer the shore by the swift-f1ow1ng
tide. The mother refused to leave the
little calf, however, and still continued
to wheel round it continuously, even
when her offspring had reached dan
gerously shallow water.
GIGANTIC PRIZES.
The result was that when the tide
turned, both the mother and her calf
were left stranded high and dry on the
beach. to the unbounded delight and
amaZement of the natives, who swarm
ed round the leViathanS, and set I'D
such a terrific uproar that l verify be-
lieye they frightened the mother to
death. Furious smoke signals were at
once sent W to summon all the tribes
in the surrounding cOuntry-enemies as
well as friends. Next day the carcasses
were washed further still inshore-a
thing for which the blacks gave me adj
ditional credit

of my boat was in some measure COM

Obituary.

Died, Jan. 10, 1898, at Layman, o.,
Mary Adliza Gage, aged SO years, 10
months and days. She was born ut
Jerico, Chittenden County, VT, and
came 10 this County when two months
old. At the age Of 25 years she mar
ried Joseph Haselton Gage, who pre-
ceded her to the realms above Nov. 25,
1895. Soon after their marriage they
moved onto the farm on which her
strength and good cheer assisted in
changing from the dark forest to sun
shine and meadow. She was the moth
of 0 children, 6 of whom survive her,
and for whom she was ever thoughtful
and sacrificing. Few mothers have
done more to cheer the weary. or giver
more aims to the hungry than she
She was consistent member of the
Uniyersalist Church for 40 years, an(
she felt "All Is well" to the last. Hel
bright hopes were presented to hel
many friends by Rev. j. R. Carpente,
in most impressive sermon.
May peace be her souls rest.
