The birthday anniversary of John
Nystrom which he celebrated at his
home at 1919 Jackson street last night
recalls to his mind many of the fea-
lures of his hilly native home in
northern Sweden.
I'VE believe in celebrattpgg birthdays
and weddings in my country said
Mr.. Nystrom to visitor this morn
ing. Il attended one wedding cele-
bration which lasted four days. On
such occasions rich farmer will add
rooms to his house just for the en-
tertainment of his guests.
However, these additions are we'll
built and last for generation. The
homes in the country of northern
Sweden are built of logs. The sides
of the houses are sometimes painted
red and the ends of the logs are paint
1T is necessary to build the homes
thus substantially and warm other
wise the people would freeze to death
in winter. I have known the ther-
mometer to go as low as forty de-
grees below zero in winter but this is
unusual, the average coolest tempera-
ture being from thirty to thirty-fiVe
below. This often freezes a certain
kind of small bird to death and have
seen many of them lying dead on the
ground after severely cold night.
1.-The spring might be said to begin
about the middle of May, as planting
is started then. That is potatoes and
oats are put in the ground These were
the principal crops when I lived there.
Wheat and oats are also raised, as
we'll as much baled hay, such as tim
othy, and grass.
"Of course the wheat is planted in
the fall. The seeds which are sown
in May mature in about four months.
Perhaps this is because there is so
much moisture in the season. 1 never
knew such drouth as we have been
having lately.
Crops are usually good. One rea-
son for this is, although the farms are
usually small as compared with Kan
sas farms, no ground is wasted. and
all is we'll fortified. If it was not
for this the farms would be worn out
by this time.
Land is very valuable. but the ma

They are very industrious, even if

late. In some places women work in

Urmy their force is not felt so keenly

was demonstrated this morning when a
section of Ash street foreign inhabi-

the history of a family row.
N. Werner, SIS years of age. the
earlier Of which were spent in Bavaria,
was the complaining witness. He lives
at 430 Ash street and on either side live
a Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Baum, the lat
ter his niece. The old man complained
yesterday to the police that Mrs. Bush
had assaulted him. 1t was also learned
that an 11-year-old son of that frau
had leased him excessively. A war
rant was issued for Mrs. Bush last
evening, but when Patrolman Penney
went to serve it he was told that Mrs.
Baum had been the offender. Still the
officer brought Mrs. Bush to the sta
ton.
"Schlagen Sic den alien mann auf den

Ach Colt. nein," she answered and the
officers felt that they had indeed cap
