Ie,ters From n "SaiIor Aunt"

uelIesyIt. NorWay-Dear "Favorite
Niece" 1 wish you could look in upon
Elizabeth and me this heavenly morn
ing. This plain little Norwegian inn,
which has the honor of harboring US at
present is situated directly on and at
The head of the beautiful Sunelvsfjord.
On the water side, just back of us, a
great rock projects out like a peninsula,
and Oh it is a small red house, while in
front of the hotel, and hardly a stones
throw from us, tumbling down from the
rocks above, is n magnificent waterfall.
All around, of course, are the snowy
peaks which form part of every Nor
wegian scene-at least, they have SO far
in our travels. Can't you shut your
eyes and see it, and isn't it perfectly
charming picture? Elizabeth and 1 are
seated in her room, which looks out
upon the ford engaged in the virtu-
Gus task of writing to you and she in
the act of sewing a button on her shirt
waist, for altho one may be travelling in
a land where the thoughts are kept
pretty constantly on an upper plane,
the refractory buttons and the little
holes have to be attended to. / suppose
it is all part of the great scheme that
those who are inclined to soar should
be brought down to earth occasionally
by just such humble agents; it helps to
keep the mind normal and healthy and
the crank crop within bounds, if moth
ing else, and enables thee and me"
favorite niece, to endure the compleXi-
ties of modern civilization. If we only
look at il in the right light almost
everything disagreeable is good for us,
and really makes for righteousness in
the end.
But this is neither the hour nor the
occasion for mor3liZing. 1 have quite
all l can attend to at present in bring
ing the story Of our wanderings up TO
date, which chronicle was suspended
for the time being at Molde.
Now, then, let me mount my good
steed Pegasus, tho were going to fly
very close to earth, and I'm off in good
earnest.
Ny last letter ended with our first
night in Mode and the sailing away of
the Amazon. That incident was closed.
and upon the fresh page before US
would now be registered a series of new
experiences 10 which we looked forward
with the keenest anticipation. We
awoke the next morning feeling in great
shape, for we had enjoyed q really re-
freshing nights rest, the first in about
Well, eight or nine days, anyway. The
quiet Of the hotel seemed heaven after
the noise of the Amazon, and We felt
vigorous enough to scale the great peaks
around us, If that had happened to be
the thing we wanted to do, which it
wasn't. Both Elizabeth and / are of
one mind on the climbing question, and
are quite willing to leave all that sort
of thing to Miss Annie Peck, our distin-
guished countrywoman. feeling entirely
satisfied that Americas reputation is
safe in her hands, or, perhaps l should
say, her feet. The sun had evidently
slept well, too, and was feeling good
but tho he blaZed down upon us We
had grown wary and didn't trust him.
and he seemed TO say: Yes I'm out
now, sure enough, and maybe I'll stay
out all day and maybe won't, You

the next morning in the auto. As Eliza

made all the arrangements for us to
make the trip in a lkjaerrc, It oc-
Cured TO her that it might be a very
good thing for us to take advantage of
this unexpected opportunity, and auto

Elizabeth, who has no trace of the
ascetic in her makeup, had a sneaking
dread of the stolkjaerre, fearing 1t
would be uncomfortable, and tho she
really wanted TO try one, and expected
it would be fun, yet she was not un-
willing to postpone the experience a lit

SEEKING The MIDNIGHT sun.
One of The National Tribune People Touring to the Far North

we were to spend the night met us at
the landing, and, taking charge of our
luggage, proposed that we should walk
to the hotel, only short distance away.
This was on a slight hill, and as we
strolled along looking around us, Vest
mes seemed to be sweet little country
hamlet in the regulation Norwegian set
ting of snow and verdure-coveredr rocks,
with the lovely ford winding in and
out. The hotel was a small, plain
wooden house, and the landlady, a
good-lookfng woman with q nice baby
boy in her arms met us at the door
and took us up to our rooms. These
were both very clean and comfortable,

Love is eternal because it never wor-
ries about dying.
The friends We buy are never worth
what we pay for them.
Those who really sympathize know
the eloqusnce of silence.
Faith u often the nearest 70 being
dumb when it has most words.
The virtues are never the strongest
for giving them vacation.
There may be many longing for heav-
en- for whom heaven is not longing.
Most of the philosophy on pain works
well only in its application to others.
To envy those who rise is to cut
down the steps by which we might as
hend.
The champions of the truth are al
ways afraid it may wander from their
paths.
No man ever did much to lift this
world who regarded-it only as a DOOR
step to heaven.
Faith is to be measured by what it
makes you do. not by what it makes
, you want others to do.
1t is always easier to be poetical
over the heather than than to be prac-
tically helpful to your neighbor.
You often hear man say he is do
ing two mems work. That is a physi-
cal impossibility.
You may think you have no luck;
just think of the number of times that
lightning has missed you.
One of the amusing things of every
day life is to watch a young doctor try
ing to look wise.
After man gets married the only
way for him TO win admiration and
distinction is to be devoted to his
wife.
