now a man Of nearly four score years,
but standing erect and as hale and
hearty as a man Of forty. Honor to

We were invited to brother Franks
for Sunday dinner and In the after
noon he took us in his car to the banks
Of old Grow river which flows past his
land. Seeing the river recalled mem
cries Of an old swimming hole, some
fishing and little partridge hunting
in the thickly wooded region thru
which it flows, although we never were
much Of sportsman. Brother Frank
before his marriage spent some years
in Marshall county engaged in teaching
and was a while a compositor on
the Sheaf. He is now engaged in a
more lucrative business, that of farm
ing, and as side issue acts as secre-
tary of the WATERFOWL Creamery Asso-
citation.
On Sunday evening we had luncheon
with Mr.. and Mrs. J. p. Atkins, Mrs.
Atkins is daughter of Mrs. Miller, our
first teacher, previously mentioned, and
Mr. Atkins father had also been our
teacher. On their fine model farm we
saw for the first time milking ma
chine in operation, electricity being the
motive power. The machine apparent
~ worked to perfection and the cows
seemed to like the process, which GER
tainly is far more clearly and sanitary
than milking by hand. No dirt can get
into the milk and the machine and con-
tanners are thoroughly washed and
sterilized after each milking. Further
more the barn where the cows were,
was so clean and free from barn odor,
that one might easily think the cows
had been led into the parlor. The milk
cans were taken to the, separator i'm
mediately after milking and this ma
chine was also operated by electricity.
Mr.. Miller's two young boys with the
aid of these machines did all the work
Of milking and separating, and did it
quickly and easily. In winter about
80 cows are MIXED, in summer less
number, as most Of the cows come in
fresh in the fall Mr.. Akin's cream
checks exceed 5000 most months of the
year. He has an elegant bunch Of pure
bred cows. When looking around for
good cattle with which to stock his
farms, Senator B. q. Sundberg, of Kilt
son county, called on Mr.. Atkins and
bought from him thirteen calves for
which he gave his check for consider
ably more than one thousand dollars.

". The following morning brother
Albert and his wife returned to their
home while we continued our visiting.
Sister Anna who resides in the city
was the next one we called upon. We
were glad to find that she is cheerful
and happy and contented with her lot,
in spite Of her physical misfortune

her in her young womanhood and In a
short time changed her from strong,
robust girl to cripple. Be OF good

Next we called on Mrs. Hokanson, also
a cousin, at the Augustana Hospital,
where she was a patient, having re-

cumstances, placing her trust in God

Having come so far we could not
think OF returning home without a
visit to St. Paul, the capital Of the
state, and our two boys were very anx-
ious to see the capitol. A street car
brought us there in short order and
our eyes caught sight Of the imposing
structure of marble with Gov. John
sons statute in front at sthe main en-
trance. Intent on seeing the building,
we had little time for seeing any Of the
state officials. However we had a
pleasant chat with Judge Mills, Of the
State Railway and Warehouse Com
mission, who always is interested in
hearing from the Red River Valley,
where he formerly had his home. We
also saw Sam Gordon, who was happy
in. his new position as public printer.
We. did not see the governor, who is
very busy keeping the people Of the
state loyal. Turning q corner we
caught glimpse of Harry Ives, -ofzst.

veteran took q party thru the building
and we Joined to learn what we
could, but he talked SO fast that we
are unable to remember single word
OF what he said. From the capitol we
boarded street car for the home Of
Prof. O. p. AbrahamsOn, but when we
got there we found no one at home
Returning to Minneapolis, we decided
to visit with Mrs Andrew Broberg,g
formerly Miss Mary Bergquest, another
old teacher of mine from the log school
house at SWede Lake, whose address
had accidentally obtained on this trip.
We had not seen her for at least
forty years and it surely was
pleasure to see her and to greet her
once more In life. She taught the
school two years and was one of the
most popular teachers the district has.
ever had. We are exceedingly sorry
that our time was SO limited that we
could not talk about the old school
days as fully as we had wished As
she had quenched our thirst for.
knowledge in our boyhood, she, with.
the same kindness and willingness to
serve, Quenched our physical thirst on
the warm afternoon Of our visit.
Again we say, as we did in our boy
hood when we trudged home from
school, Goodbye, teacher
She was teacher true and kind,
a gentle guide for youthful mind,
Thanks for the precepts good you
taught
Thanks for the encouragement you
brought. 5
Turn back, oh Time, turn back, pray,
Make me boy again, just for day,
And let me attend the Swede Lake
school,
Where Mary Bergquest doth mildly
rule.
After arriving in Minneapolis we
again boarded our faithful Ford and
made the run back to WATERFOWL In
the evening. On the following day,
Aug. 20, we babe goodbye to our dear
brothers and their happy families and
started for home. Again we called on
our sister in Coktato, and remained
until the following morning, when
daughters Myrtle and Agnes and Mr..
Nelson accompanied us as far as Nelson,
near Alexandria, where Miss Myrtle
was to teach school. Another teacher
in a car driven by her brother joined
our party at Paynesville, also destined
for Nelson, where we arrived about
four in the afternoon. We continued
our journey to Wadena, wllere we put
up for the night. Next day we con-
.tinued our Journey on tha Sanerson
Highway, passing thru the SItasca State
Park, where we ate our dinner. Space
