Crossing the Big Pond.

J. w. Samuelson left Friday night
for his old home at Halmstad, Swed-
en-, which place he left twelve years
ago when he was mere lad. He
goes back to spend a few weeks with
his old father and mother and visit
with friends of his boyhood. This Is
his first trip home since he came to
America. He was accompanied by his
brother, August, who has been in
this country two years. August may
not return soon, but J. w. will be
back about March 1.
Mr.. Samuelson came to America a
poor lad, with no friends on this side
of the big pond. He forged his own
way, and has made splendid success
in his business undertaking, that Of
conducting an exclusive shoe store
in this city. During his absence, the
business is being managed in cap.
able manner by Victor Sandberg.
