SHORT DAYS AND NIGHTS.
When the Sun Rises and Sets in Some
Points Of Sweden.

Mr.. Carlson, of Spartanburg, who is
a native OF Sweden and spent many
years Of his life in that far northern
country, in conversation with a re-
porter of the Spartanburg Journal
told something Of the peculiar meteo-
rological conditions that prevail there
by reason of the northerly latitude OF
Sweden. We thinknow that our days
are short, but an inhabitant of fSweden
would find the days as they are now
with US so long that he would prob
ably get sleepy before dark Mr.. Carl
son says that in midwinter in the part
of Sweden where he lived the sun does
not rise until 9;30 and it sets at 2::30.
This gives only five hours Of sunlight
and 19 of very black darkness except
when the moon is shining. a little
further north from his home the sun
rises even later and further still it
does not rise during the winter at all.
In spite of all this Mr.. Carlson says
the people observe about the same
hours with their work as we do here.
OF course, farm and outdoor work cam
not be carried on without light, but
during the cold season farm work is
necessarily suspended anyhow. In
factories, however artificial light is
used and work goes righJ ahead. The
people there eat four meals a DAY. A
light breakfast is taken on rising,
which is before day, another neal
about 10 o'clock. dinner about three
o'clock, which is after dark and sup
per along toward bedtime.
In summer these conditions are just
reversed, the sun rising about 2::30 a.
m. and setting about $3.50 p. m. Civ
ing about five hours with the sun be-
low. the horizon, but even during this
time there is twilight enough to see
how to read. The change in the
lenth Of the days comes on very rapid
ly and even in so short time as that
between Dec. 81 and Jan. l the
difference is quite perceptible.

E.e the Rich Indian.

1t appears from census statistics
that regrets for the passing OF the In
6ians OF the United States are vain
and useless: that, as d matter OF fact,
there is more Indian blood in the
United States today than ever before.
Secretary Nitchcocks recent report
shows that there are now in the coun-
try 2G9.oo0 pccSnnS If Indian blood
a larger number than when the PHI
orin7 fathers landed in Massachusetts.
And the Indians are living better no"
than ever before in their history IN

thought to have hastened the END.
Since the death of Mr.. Shorthill, on
July g. 1902 Mrs. Shorthiil has per
sonaily had charge of many of the de-
tails of the large estate. The worry OF

Ladies Cemetery Aid Society. and for

This office she held at the time OF her

Two More Iowa Central EN-
ployes Seek Damages For
Personal Injuries
SECTION MEN ARE PLAINTIFFS
j. H. Mccarthy and James Castillo
AIIese That They Were Injured by
Being Thrown From Hand Car by
Reason Of Negligence on the Part of
EmpIoyes-Each Asks s1,9ee.

Following close upon the damage suit
of A. A .Novatny, a shop employe,
against the Iowa Central Railway
Company, two more actions were COM
menced Saturday afternoon, in which
two section employees, J. H. Mccarthy
and James CASTILLO, pray that they be
given judgments for $1,999 each for
personal injuries sustained as re-
suit of a hand car derailment on Octo-
Der 2. Negligence on the part of COM
pany employees is alleged as being re-
sponsible for the accident.
The petitions of the plaintiffs are
similar in every particular with the ex-
ception of the extent of injuries. The
men claim that they were employed as
section hands on the date of the acct
dent. and that they were working near
Moore. a small station near Grinnell.
They We're on a hand car. in charge of
Division Roadmaster john Laughlin, of
this city, who was operating the brake,
and left Moore for a point one mile
south, TO pick up number of tools that
had been left by workmen. While on
their way TO the scene the car ran into
an open switch, which had not been
lined up after having been passed by a
work train. Mccarthy alleges that he
was thrown seventeen feet when the
car was derailed. and sustained injur-
les to his side, shoulder and arm. He
claims that his injuries are such that
they will be permanent. and that he has
as yet not been able to do any work
whatever. CASTILLO AYERS that he was
thrown from the car q distance of f1f-
teen feet. sustained an injured side and
back, had several ribs fractured, and
received severe internal injuries.
Aside from the damages in the sum of
s1,999 each the plaintiffs ask that they
be awarded judgments for the costs in
Cured in the actions.
