woman suffering with rheumatism. The
duties are light to care for the in
valid $ room, do a little mending and

A few days later Sunshine heard of
a refined and well-educated woman who

How Hogberg Was ."Found.'

Like Byron, Olof Hogberg woke one
morning and found himself fam GUS. The
way it happened is interesting. The
well-known Swedish ladies illustrated
paper "Idun' has several times started
literary competitions, where the prizes
according to Swedish conditions, have
been pretty large. So it happened a
few years ago that the now celebrated
authoress Selma Lagerlof, at present
next to Strindberg, the best-knowr
Swedish literary name me abroad, was dis
covered BY Idun in It's f{st literary com
petition. She had sents in her famous
7'Gosta Behring'S Saga, = which now il
translated to, / think, eight Languages
From that moment the till then un
known schoolmistress,, who lived in, a
provincial town, was overwhelmed with
offers from publishers near and far and
is now probably the best-paid author in
Sweden This big "find' was of course
a good thing for the paper also, and one
should have thought that such luck
would not happen twice.
But this is just what has happened
Idun announced a big literary contest
this year with kr. 5000 for the first
prize and-see, new great author is
landed again. This time it is the male
sex who has taken home the honor in
the person Of Olof 'Hogberg, who hither
to had lived retired life az Journal
list in small provincial town in the
north. His literary output has beer
small; heretofore it has passed almost
unnoticed. For fifteen years-he is now
52-he has written on his great work
FFThe Great Anger, = which, in five vol
umes, treats the history Of Norrlani
(the northern part Of Sweden) in {
novelistic form during two centuries
and which is said by those who have
read it, to be masterpiece. Naturally
enough Hogberg, too, is overrun, mo-
only by Swedish publishers and editors

A SWEDISH BANQUET
in AMERICAN FASHION
Swedes and Americans in Stockholm Celebrate Thanks
giving Day at the Continental The Finding" Of the
New Literary Genius -Brynolf Forgery Case Full Of
Mysteries
ny HUGO vALLENTIN.

q TOCKHOLM, Dec. 1.-The Swed-
ish-American society," society
which has existed only SIX
months and consists of Swedish Ameri-
cans who have returned to their ma
tive country, and Swedes with interests
in and for the statesmen at Hotel
Continental yesterday to celebrate
Thanksgiving day with a banquet.
Among those present were Colonel
Graves, the American ambassador, and
Mrs. Graves and Consul General Adams
and Mrs. Adams The banquet was
held in one of the private dining rooms
which was decorated to suit the occa-
sion. On the walls the stars and stripes
intermingled with the Swedish blue
and yellow and against one of the walls
rose proudly the big harvest trophy,
the collection Of all the fruits Of the
earth. Above this hung a giant menu
SO that everybody who ate might read.
This menu, where was depicted Uncle
Sam, Dalecarlian girl, an Indian and
Swedish peanant boy running after
turkey, was as American as possible.
Contrary to Swedish custom, no
speeches were allowed during the din:
ner, but followed the dessert. May
this fashion continue. 9
The president, Editor Gullberg Of
Stockholms Tidningen, spoke first Of the
aim of the society. Then came a speech
by Lawyer Fahlcrantz for America and
President Roosevelt, to which Colonel
Graves replied in a splendid speech fol
Sweden and King Oscar. There were
many other speeches, but the one which
was greeted by the loudest applause was
the one in which Consul General Adams
reminded the company that this day
Mark Twain celebrated his seventeen
birthday. Appropriately, Mr.. Adams
adorned his speech with many stories
told in. the best American style. At the
table and afterwards the favorite singer
at the royal opera, Mr.. Forsell, and sew
eral others of the artists from the opera
entertained the company in a way tina
gained them loud applause. Afterward
followed an improvised ball and when
left the Hotel Continental in the small
hours we had just finished a light
"sexa "a cross between late suppe
and an early breakfast. So, you see, tn
Swedish-Americans know how to enjo,

Solitude.

Laugh and the world laughs with you;
Weep and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth,
Must borrow its mirth,
1t has troubles enough of its own.
Sing and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost in the air;
The echoes bound
To joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice and men will seek you;
Grieve and they turn and go;
They want full measure
Of all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many:
Be sad and you lose them all;
There are none to decline
Your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast and your halls are crowded;
Fast and the world goes by;
Succeed and give
And it helps you live,
But it cannot help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For long and lordly train;
But one by one
We must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

years we do not read of any serious en-
gagements. The Indians had planned
massacre of the Virginia colony
some five or six years after Captain
Smith had been saved through the ef-
forts of Pocahontas, the Indian maid
en-, but the colony was saved by this
same Indian girl, (referred to by King
James as princess). On April 1st,
1922, the Indians felt that they could
stand the injustice of the colonists no
longer, so they massacred three hun
dred and forty-seven men, women and
children of the Virginia settlement,
and there is no doubt that the whole
colony would have been wiped out of
existence had not a converted Indian
named Chance, revealed the plot. The
next year the Massachusetts, settle
ments were saved by the heroism of one
Miles Standish. He learned that the
Indians were planning massacre and
taking eight men he surprised them,
killing number of their chiefs. This
caused the Indians to have more re-
spect for the whites. and for the next
twenty years we do not read of any
serious outbreaks. In 1913 another
Virginia settlement was massacred,
and this resulted in a two years war
fare, during which time sixteen hun
dred Indians were slain.
In 1925, when the Dutch were settl-
ing at New York they bought the
island of Manhattan from the Indians
for twenty-four dollars. 1t is interest
ing to study the early history of the
different states and note the part
played by the Indians. Nearly all the
troubles can be traced to the injustice
of the whites. In 1912 when the Gov.
ernor of New York endeavored to get
young Indian who had killed white
man, the tribe refused to give him up
and during the parley the chief of the
tribe said to Governor Kieft: cit is
your own fault. Why do you sell oul
young men brandy? 1t makes them
crazy. Your own people get drunk
and fight with knives" Follow the
Indians during the first hundred years
of colonization on the eastern coast
and you will find that their faults car
be traced to the injustice practiced up
on them.
I have touched upon but few
points of interest in the first fifty years
of colonial life, and will endeavor al
some future time to treat briefly witt
the remaining years prior to the Dec
laration of Independence. C.L. G.

FIRE SWEEPS COLON
Canal Terminus City Saved
 by Sheer Good Fortune.
ALL GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS CONE
Municipal 0mces, Postoace, once of Governor MeIendez, Judiciary and Other Structures Re-
 duced to Ashes.

COLON, Sept. 2S.-By sheer good luck the city of Colon has been saved from complete destruction. At 9:25 at night, when more than half the people of the city were asleep, the sharp whis- ties of the police announcing fire were heard from end to end of the city, quickly followed by the loud footing of the railroad engines.
 Thousands were soon gathered at the scene of the fire, which was next to the residence of the Spanish consul, on Bolivar street, hundred yards east Of the railroad, the main buildings Of which owing to fresh breeze from the southeast were completely demolished in less than thirty minutes
 There being no fire brigade at Co., lon, the railroad officials under the per sonal supervision of Superintendent Bierd with commendable alacrity brought hose from Monkey hill and soon began to play salt water on the fire. The Royal Mail steamer Trent also pumped water on the flames and detached seventy of her crew to aid the fire fighters.
 The Panama Banking company, an American concern, and the Panama railroad main offices had most mar row escape from destruction. Nearly all the records and documents of the government were destroyed. The post office was completely burned out, only a handful of mail being saved. It is believed that the governments specie was the only property saved.
 Only small percentage of the loss, which is conservativeIy estimated at S75.000. is covered by insurance owing to the high premiums asked and the difficulty of obtaining acceptances of risks.
 The fire next destroyed the Phenix hotel, an American owned concrete and iron trussed building. The heat was so intense at this spot that the railroad rails were twisted into all sorts of shapes.
 The fire then leaped across the street to liquor store, continuing northward and completely destroying two hotels, several liquor establishments and the tenement houses along Bottle alley and Bolivar street almost up to Cartagena street Within this zone was a large house known as Rowe's building, con taining the postofice. the offices of the municipality, of Governor Melendez, the port inspectors, the judiciary and other offices This building soon caught fire and was quickly destroyed. The treasury building was also burned.
 The fire destroyed considerable DOT ton of the business and residence sec tions of Colon, including practically all the Panama government buildings.
 With the assistance rendered by the Panama fire department the connagra- ton was finally overcome.

THE PUGILISTS.
SOME BOUTS
 UNDER WAY.
Baltimore Will Witness Good Centests..Tim SuI- Iivan Has a Kick-Cor- bett Still Loafing.

Baltimore, Sept 2S.-Just how far Joe Cans has gone back, as he testified in court when his wife sued him for alimony, and in which he was cor roborated by his manager, Al Herford, and his brother Maurice, will probably be shown next month when the light weight champion is to meet Jimmy Gardner in San Francisco.
 Manager Al gave out the information himself He said:
 "I have just received a telegram that the required permit will probably be granted, and I have matched Joe to meet Jimmy Gardner in Frisco next month"
 That Cans is not as good as he was three years ago is the generally ac- cepted opinion, and whether he can make 133 pounds and be strong is an- other question, but that he. is not good enough even now to make Jimmy Gardner ct al hustle to keep their lau- rels, is not even claimed by his worst enemies.
 Cans was not trained for his bout in which Mike (Twin) Sullivan gave him fierce trouncing, but Manager Al has put the shaekles on him, and when Joe does meet Gardner he will be physically as good as is sopOssihla for him to be. Cans seconded Kid Sulli- van when the latter bested Harry Lewis last Friday night. His left eye was still in such bad shape that the lightweight champion wore goggles.
 For the coming Friday night Herfor,l has arranged a fifteen round bout be tween Sam Langford and Young Peter Jackson, to take place before the Flu reka Athletic club. Langford has two decisions over Jackson and one over Cans. Jackson is not popular with Baltimore fight followers and will have to put out Langford to get another date here. .v--,,.
 Young Corbett is talked of for a fif- teen round bout with Kid Sullivan be- fore Herfords' Eureka club, October 6. There is a desire here to see Cor bett, but it would seem like crime to stack him up against Sullivan, who routed Battling Nelson fin ten rounds and fought twenty rounds with Jimmy Britt
