By A. EDWIN LONG,

When Jorgen Michaelsen, as ;
small boy, played arourd the dis
tiheries in Denmark, herded hi;
fathers sheep and dairy cows, and
skated down the river on his wood.
Ell shoes, he had never heard OF
Omaha.
Likewise the Danish Brotherhood
OF America of which he is now ST.
preme secretary, was not yet in ex-
istencc.
Michaelsen longed to be business
man. He stood at his fathers knee
and coaxed to be allowed to enter a
dry goods store in northern Den
mark as an apprentice. But there
was cheese and butter to be made at
the Michaelsen home, and conse-
quently there were number of dairy
cows that must be herded daily. So
young Jorgen was kept busy herding
the cows and also the sheep.
He herded the sheep in pairs. That
is, he tied two sheep together with
rope from six>to ten feet long. They
were easier to handle that way. They
could not scamper away and STAN
pede so easily.
He tied two strong bucks together
in this way and when he took the
rope to yank them homeward in the
evening the bucks were frolicsome.
They reared and pitched and ran
circles around the young herdsman.
Thus they bound him hand and foot
and galloped away over the hills with
young Jorgen a helpless mass bump
ing over the stones at their heels.
About the forty-second bump they
snapped his thigh bone and so rid
themselves Of their shepherd for six
weeks.
The lads parents were away from
home, visiting in southern Denmark.
The boy had to lie all night and part
of the next day before he could get
medical attention. From the suffer
ing Of that night, he declares today,
he has something of an idea what the
men are suffering on the battlefeds
of Europe now.
Michaelsen never went to school
after he was IA.
Instead he worked In distillery at
Denmark, He used to
stand over the spout where the new
ly-distilled spirits flow from the cool
ings coils to the kegs. There he
sampled the product as it trickled |
past Yes, he used to stick his finger
into the spout and then lick his An
ger until sometimes he saw two
spouts where only one should have |
been, but then such was the life of
the boy of his day.
AT Is he sailed for America and
Omaha. He had a brother already in
Omaha. He came to join /him. Here
he found only hard bumps. He
shoveled gravel and laid ties for the
street car company, and for years
welded hammer and tongs at the
Burlington repair shops.
With horny hands and furnace
blistered face he took the civil serv-
ice examination and became letter
carrier. He carried for eleven years.
Then, because he was live wire, an

interesting one. Coming In from the
states they Travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river. the
Red Deer river. through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money. with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river.
and this they had to borrow. It was
In 1905 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell shotgun for ten dol.
lars in order to get suficient money to
do 30. Frank Lawrence says:
"Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half Of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters Of a section. II we
had to sell out now We could probably
realixA about $4,000. and have made
oil this since we came here. We get
