severe illness of ten days, during
which she was confined to her
bed.
She was buried in the Swed-
ish church burial grounds, Thurs
day, May 18th, and was carried
to her last earthly resting place
by six of her grandchildren.
Rev. Christian Swendson of
West Duluth, conducted the SER
vices at the house and read the
last rites at the grave.
A large number of sympathetic
friends and neighbors met at the
house and followed to the grave,
and many beautiful floral offer
ings were left.
Mrs. Lena Larson was born in
Sweden Jan. 9Th, 1910, and was

She was married at the age Of

our lumber chiefs evidently also
felt the delight by the way they
were cutting them down on
every hand.
We had a short stop at Spo-
kane for lunch that night, and
as soon as we were on our way
again, it was card playing, songs,
stories, and bunk again, wonder
ing what new sight the next day
would bring us.
Tuesday morning found us run
ming along the Columbia River
about a hundred miles from Port
land. That strip was beautiful.
Let me off with that; | have no
gift for description. Suffice to
say that winding along the banks
of the mighty, turbulent Column
bia, seeing snow-clad mountains
close by checker board orchards
in bloom, and small we'll kept
farms below, was a sight that
gratified.
While we were waiting in
Portland for our train to pull
cut, one of our recruits had dis
covered two fair damsels in a
coach on the next track. A little
adventurous spirit on his part,
and a pair of encouraging eyes
on their part started things and
soon whole boquets of flowers
came steaming thru the window
in sympathy with the boys who
were going away. For my part

for any flowers just yet, but
perhaps there is something in
the expressions: Better flowers
before than after" Our dog
mascot was showed thru the
window for a tender caress. and
upon the execution of this move
ment, one of the boys failed to
muzzle his feeling of jealousy
toward the helpless canine, so in
spite of his protests and loud de-
mails, we showed him head first
thru the window also. Finally
The girls gave us a large box of
candy which did not fail to find
large number of sweet teeth
among us.
All the way down from Port
land seemed like Paradise. Ir
the valleys were orchards ir

wild flowers without number.

fragrance of the air. 0. Henry
