PIONEER LIFE IN MISSOURI
Was "Fine for Men and Dogs" but
Undoubtedly Also Hard on
the Women.

SIN Pioneer Families of Missouri
is printed a letter written by a woman
to her sister in Kentucky, the Kansas
City Star says:
''The men and dogs have a fine time.
but we poor women have to suffer. We
pack water from one-half mile to one
mile for cooking and washing. My adj
vice is stay~where you are. But If you
see anyone coming to this country,
send q plank cradle for poor little Pat
rick. His poor little back is full of
hard bumps, lying in a cradle George
made out of a hollow log, with a piece
of wood for a pillow. George and I at
tended a wedding last week. The
preacher, a hard-shell Baptist, had a
long buckskln overeoat. The groom
was in his shirt sleeves, with white
cotton pants that came just below his
knees, and white cotton socks and
buckskin slippers on his feet. The
girl was dressed in a low-necked, short
WASTED, short-sleeved white cotton
dress that was monstrous short for q
girl like her. She had on buckskin
slippers and her hair was tied with a
buckskin string, which is all the go
here. And when the preacher was
spelling and reading the ceremony
from the book, the girl commenced
sneezing and the buckskin string
slipped off her hair. which fell all over
her face, and everybody laughed"
An early marriage ceremony in Liv-
ingston county took place with the
couple on one side of Medicine creek
and Squire Jordan on the other side,
The creek was booming. The young
man swan the stream and brought the
squire down from his house. Then the
young man swan back and took his
place beside the young Squire
Jordan couldn't swim. He wanted to
postpone the ceremony a few days I'M
til the creek went down. The young
folks wouldn't have 1t. They Joined
hands and told-tfTe squire to go ahead.
The questions and answers were shout
ed across the creek and the knot was
tied. Medicine creek got its name, ac-
cording to tradition, because a country
doctor in trying to swim it lost his
"pill bags" as they We're called.

ST. PATRIcks CATHEDRAL AT DUBLIN.

but with those in the back of his head
he saw secret things and he now say
a monk hiding some fresh meat that
he might eat 1t secretly. st. Patrick
was at once stricken with remorse and
prayed for forgiveness. An angel then
appeared and commanded him to put
the pork into water. This he did, and
1t was Immediately changed into fishes.
His Memory Worshiped.
Such tales as these are told of by
the Irish themselves with no hint of
d%isrespect. They are merely the evil
dences of the all-pervading humor of
this light-hearted people and should
be taken in the same spirit by others.
In spite of them the Irish worship the
memory of st. Patrick above all other
saints.
1t should not be imagined, however,
that the traditions concerning the pa
tron saint of Ireland are all humorous.
Some of them embody that sense of the
beautiful which is also an Irish char
acteristic. One of the most attractive
of these tales is that Of st. Patrick
and the kings daughters.
In the year 433 he celebrated Easter
by converting many thousands of the
inhabitants. After the termination of
the services he went to Tara to try to
convert the king. But the king would

IreIand,a

The first day of February is the an-
niversary of st. Bride, or Briget, the
''p~atroness" of Ireland and of Fleet
street. She was the beautiful daugh-
ter of an Irish bard, and her story
seems to have fired the Celtic imagi-
nation. Wherever the early Irish mis-
sionaries wandered in western Europe,
from Cologne to Seville, churches or
abbeys will be found dedicated to her
honor, and wherever the "exiles of
Erin" may migrate the name of Bird
get marks a woman OF Irish race. The
spire of her church in Fleet street has
been repeatedly struck by lightning
and is now much reduced in height, but
remains one of the three tallest stee-
pies in London.-London Chronicle.

Delicate Youth.

Here is a little story made public
by the United States Marine corps:
Fearing that the rfgors of warfare
would be too much for her delicate son,
a woman living at Fresno, Cal, wrote
to the United States Marine corps
headquarters at Washington, ask
Ing that the young man be dis
charged.
HE Is too weak and delicate to be
In the service she wrote. HE is a
blacksmith's helper by trade, and I
would prefer him to stay at his iagt
job"
The mother was informed that, Tor
the time being, her son would remain
a marine.

have none Of the new religion, and st.
Patrick's life was in danger. In de-
spair he was departing from the town
when he passed a fountain near which
were two fair maidens. The maidens,
full of wonder at st. Patrick's' white
garments, asked him who he was.
Brought King Into Fold.
st. Patrick told them he was a bish-
op of God and expounded the prin-
ciples of Christianity. They were de-
lighted with his discourse and became
converted at once. Then they asked
st. Patrick to return to Tara, where
their father was king.
st. PP+rick, much surprised to hear
that the two maidens were daughters
of the king he had just visited, accom-
panied them back to the castle. Here
the king was persuaded by the prin-
cesses to accept the new religion. The
next day 10000 of the people followed
the example of their king and prin-
cesses.

GA. vi EISKER."

The first three stanzas of this
great song by Bjornstjerne
Bjornson, Norway's poet-patriot,
were translated for American
readers by Rasmus B. Anderson
several years ago. Recently
Professor Wilhelm Petersen pro-
duced his English version of the
poem, which breathes the poets
spirit to remarkable degree,
but does not retain the original
meter. In the following version
| have retained and rearranged
the best in the two translations
above referred to and have en-
deavored to preserve somewhat
of the lyrical harmony Of the
great original. Carl Nelson.

Yes. we love with fond devotion
Norway's mountain domes
Rising storm-lash'd DER the ocean
With it's thousand homes.
Love it while our thoughts are bend

To our fathers bold
In the saga-night descending
With its dream of old.
This our land King Harold tended
With his heroes strong,
Haakon Norway's right defended
Moved by Eivind's song.
On this land the Cross was painted
With st. Olafs blood.
And King Sverre. fear-untainted.
Made defiance good
Peasants stood with axes frightened
Where an army came,
Tordenskjold with martial lightning
Set our coast in flame.
Even women did assemble
On the bloody plain:
Others could but weep and tremble.
But twas not in vain.
When in misery deep-dyed
Norway was forlorn;
In our direst need blue-eyed
Liberty was born.
Then with patient courage bore we
Want and war with ease;
Even death was crowned with glory.
For it gave us. peace.

Thank the living God,
That our land so well He Tended
With His mighty rod.
For our fathers faith and daring
And our mothers tears.
Did the Lord with love unsparing
Grant us freedoms years.
Yes. we love with strong devotion
Norway's mountain domes
Rising furrowed DER the ocean
With its thousand homes.
As our ancient heroes speeded
Unto victory.
We will give our lives when needed

Petitions asking for money To
help defray expenses Of the Pine
County War Board, were circu-
lated in the vicinity of Askov by
Hans c. Hansen, Carl NJ. Madsen
and Iohan Sorensen under the
direction of l.. c. Petersen.
Those in the village were not
solicited as they had previously
given toward comfort kits for
our soldier boys. A sum of 500
was raised which is little above
Askov's quota.
The petition read as follows:
We. the undersigned, believ-
ing that the expense of the pa
triotic activities of Pine County
should be borne by all of the peo-
Pile, thereby lifting the burden
from the few who have carried
it in the past, hereby subscribe

promoting campaigns for the
sale of Liberty Bonds, for Red
Cross and other patriotic pur-
poses.
