again the country
Furrowed, weather-beaten and studded
wi tn thousand homes.
We love it and think upon our fathers
and mothers and the dim age Of
the Sagas which cast a dreamy
spell over our land.
When the song ended there was no
doubt that friendship had been estab-
lished, the students waved their caps
and called greetings from the stage,
the people waved back kerchief and
hat, sent out to the stage Hello! Hell
10! Goodbye Good-by!" 1t was as
though the platform were the deck Of
and outbound vessel, the crowd cheer
ing the voyagers as friends are sped
at parting.
Norwegian words flew back and
forth, even the second generation,'
that so often disclaimed the foreign
origin, tonight were proud they were
Norwegians. Young America walked
proudly beside little old Norwegian
grandfather, talked with him in his
own tongue. Prosperous ladies with
pale gray cloaks and diamonds in their
ears forgot fashion and hummed I'm
Jotunheimen." Men of affairs forgot
American dollars and thought on "Olaf
Trygvason." When the students min
gled with the crowd, what news from
home? Tell us of Bergen and Chris
tlania. Isn't the kaiser coming this
summer? AS many English as ever?
And is there much excitement about
the separation? What do you really
think of it?
