nent figure in Buck Valley since

tive citizen, having filed various
township Offices. He was a kind
and obliging neighbor, he was
never appealed to in vain in a
worthy cause.
In faith he was Lutheran,

hood. He had been a patient suf-
ferer for the last two years from

EX-Commissioner w. H. Spang-

"to burn" This summer he has
noticed that black snakes have
been rather numerous in the vi

other day. In doing SO, a nest
was found in which were sixty
six snake eggs, forty three young
snakes, and old well, there
is no telling how many. Some
got away; but Mr.. Spangler and
his assistants managed 10 kill

CHAPTER /.

The sun shone bright and warm
upon the lawn of Glyun Castle; a
thousand rare and fragrant flowers
sent forth sweet messages to all, borne
by the summer wind that stirred the
green leaves family.
1t was a pretty scene-the smooth,
green lawn, diversified with masses of
gorgeous bloom. In the foreground
stood the picturesque, gray old castle
of Glynn; in the background, the dark
brown woods. In the midst of the
lawn was a grand cedar-tree, whose
sweeping branches trailed on the long
grass.
Under the shade Of the cedar was a
group that an artist, in painting,
would have immortalized himself.
Just where the sunbeams came filter
ing through the dense green foliage,
where they fell mellow and golden,
stood beautiful young girl. This was
Sybil Jocelyn.
To look at her was to know that she
came from a grand old race; the tall,
slender figure was Of rare grace and
girlish dignity-the carriage, the man
ner and bearing Of a young queen.
Her beautiful head was proudly set
upon graceful shoulders that would

The Ericsson Monument.

It has been learned that the execu-
tive committee of the John Ericsson
monument committee is planning to do
some energetic work this fall. 1t is the
general impression that the raising Of
the fund for monument has ben sadly
neglected. It should be remembered,
however, that all the members Of the
committee are actively engaged in busi-
ness affairs of their own, which demand
almost all their time and attention, and
there is not one of them who could take
hold of the work without making a
greater personal sacrifice than he could
afford. Still, while the money is not
coming in fast it is, nevertheless, COM
ing, and John Ericsson will have a
monument in Minneapolis. without any
question.

the leading Liberal newspaper in Nor

print only accounts of crimes, riots and
deeds Of violence. and make no effort
to get any other class of news. Natur-
ally, the people believe that vice and
crime is rampant, and that the country
is anything but a desirable place in
which to live. Beyond the fact that the
United States won their freedom in .
war with Great Britain. and there was
big Civil War some years ago, the av-
erage Norwegian knows very little OF

For my part, I am not only sur

of the undertakings and the enterprise
Of Americans generally. Everything is
vastly different from what had con-
ceived.
"Your American newspapers natural
ly interest me. l think that the imper-
sonal character of the papers must
strike most Europeans at once. There
seems to be lack of the individuality
which marks the Old World papers. OF
course, as newsgatherers they are un.
excelled, and those in search of inform
alton will find wealth of it in the
American newspapers. But they are
all too serious, and there should be
much more matter Of lighter vein."
Mr.. Maurer has recently been the
guest of Senator Knute Nelson, at Alex.
andria, for some time, and enjoyed his
visit very much. He is at present with
his brother, Fritz Maurer, who is we'll
known in Minneapolis, especially among
Norwegians. 1t is not likely that he
will return to Norway for several
weeks and he may remain here, for the
longer he waits the less anxious he is to
leave.
