unable to explain the phenomenon;

means Of powerful pumps running
night and day.
August Strindberg has completed a
new drama entitled "Abu Casem's
Slippers" The work ts built on q
French legend and ARABIAN Nights"
The drama is expected to take we'll in

upon the Stockholm Massacre" in
which the Danes played an unenviable
part.
Two poachers were found by mem.
bers of royal hunting party at
Bokeberg. Both of them took to
their heels, and one of them started
for the spot where the king was stand
ing. When he understood that he
could not escape he threw away his
gun and crept under bush, where
he was picked up and placed before
the king. The king enjoyed the situa
ton hugely and had talk with the
man, who was set free without any
molestation.
The rush Of people from Sweden
to America was so great in Septem-
Der that it caused general uneasiness.
But closer scrutiny Of the records
soon revealed the fact that a large
proportion of the emigrants were peO-
pie who have their homes in America.
A majority of the returning Swedish
! Americans were women whose hus-
bands were tied down by their bust
ness at home. Many of the Swedish
Americans who are returning this fall
are people who went to Sweden for
the purpose of staying there but who
found it impossible to obtain satisfac-
! tory positions in their native cOun-
try and therefor returned to America
| The labor conflicts in Sweden are
| largely responsible for the return OF
many Swedish-Americans to America
The strangest farmer in the king
dom of Sweden died this fall at the
age of "a years. His name was Mick
ell Person, and he lived and died
in the Farila mountain valley, Helsin g
land. At the age of nine his lower
limbs were paralyzed, and for three
quarters of century he moved about
by means of walking on his knees
or crawling on all tours. His arms
seemed to receive the combined
strength of hands and feet, and the
cripple became toiler~ of almost
: superhuman endurance. To swing the
blacksmith's hammer, do carpenter
work and carve was his delight a
spare moments In other respect!
he was a prototype of Helsinglant
farmer. Without legs be plowed
and reaped his fields as ably as any o
his neighbors. In winter he fellet
, trees and hauled logs like other men
Like a worm he crawled about IL
earth and water, sawed down tn
trees of the forest, loaded them o,
his sleds and hauled them down tn
mountain slopes-nothing done b,
others was shirked by him. He ha,
to take hand everywhere, and every
thing that he touched was apt t.
succeed. At his death he left large
/ fertile fields which he had worke'
, day and night-on his knees!
