fruit of his labors. The letter follows:
"Let me tell you first that I speak
the unvarnished truth, without being
actuated by any pretended modesty,
when l say that I have never been &C.
cused of being brilliant, by even my
closest frields.
Like most of the people born and
raised in the Arctic regions, my INTEL
lect is inclined to be sluggish. It needs
continuous prodding and oiling in or
der to keep it from becoming stag
nant, and the only qualifications in
the nature of gifts that I possess is a
fairly good memory and bull dog to-
nacity.
II was born in Finland forty-seven
years ago, Of poor parents, and the
earliest recollections l have of my
childhood are my pilgrimages in
poverty-stricken country, going from
house to house, begging bread. There
were 70 public schools in the country
then; the dearest to my home being
twelve miles away, and we might just
as we'll have cried for a piece of the
moon as for the privilege of attending
school.
However, with the help of my
mother, learned to read and write in
the Swedish language; mathematics
never did learn and the simplest prob
lem is as yet mystery to me. ex-
perienced many times the depressing
feeling which comes from hunger. In
fact, it was not often we were not hun
cry. During famine, when I was
six or seven, we lived for a period of
six months on salt, bad potatoes and
bread made of mountain ash berries
and a moss We picked in the mountains
called iceland moss At the age Of
twelve l went to sea with my country
men, and really believe that I got
more beatings than any boy Of my age
ever got in given time. They SEEM
ed to revel in the occupation of fog
cling a poor little devil who could not
defend himself.
AT the age at eighteen 1 left my
country ships for good took French
leave, and sailed with Swedes, Hol-
landers and Germans. They were all
pretty tough, but they were a decided
improvement on my own country peo-
pie. l was twenty when I first ship
ped in an American vessel, in Swansea,
Wales. 1t was the full-rigged ship
Oneida, Captain Eaton, of Searsport,
Maine, and there l learned for the
first time that even poor devil had
some rights. Captain Eaton was a
strict man, but he was just, and be-
lieve it was the treatment I received
on his ship which implanted in my soul
love for the country which I now
proudly call my own.
From the negro cook on the Oneida
I got my first lessons in the English
language; while the others made fun
of my attempts to master: it he cor
rected me, and when I finally left the
sea, in 1881, I had advanced so far
that could read and understand what
l was reading. l then went to the
iron mines in northern Michigan, and
worked at Norway and Iron Mountain,
chopping cordwood and using the pick
and shovel in the day time and reading
at nights. ..;,.s >-.: ..s,.....-.-.. -

RAINS IN KANSAS
Considerable Portion Of State
Receives Good Showers.
END OF DROUGHT IS IN SIGHT

Missouri and Northern Oklahoma Also
Receive General Showers-Mercury
at Concordia Above Hundred TWEEN.
ty-fve Days.
The end of the longest, hottest and
most costly drought in the history OF
Kansas is in sight Rain of some con
sequence fell over a considerable por-
ton of the state. Government wealth.
er forecasters said the rainfall prob
ably indicated that the drought was
broken. Good showers were general
over Missouri and northern Oklahoma
The precipitation in Kansas ranged
half inches, the heaviest rains being
in the southern part of the state.
The first rain in seventy-one days
fell in Concordia. During the drought
the mercury there climbed above the
100 mark or twenty-five different days.
In many places where rain fell the
drought has been continuous for nine
weeks. Both in the cities and on the
farms the people took advantage of
lhe novelty Oh DelnS falned upon and
the man who had the temerity to ap
pear with an umbrella was ostracised.
A drop in temperature was expert
enced at all points where rain fell
Chinch bugs, which have aided the
| drought in the destruction of crops,
| We're routed by the rains. Near Ar
kansas City, where quarter of an
inch of rain fell, millions of the pests
rose from the corn fields and flew to-
wards the north.
The high temperatures of the last
two weeks continued in portion of cen
trail Kansas where no rain fell Abb.
lene reported 1o5 degrees, Emporia 1o4
and Saline 103
At Junction City. where light show
ers fell the mercury reached the 100
mark for thirty-five consecutive days
