the splendid ideals that led to its es-
tablishment
The great Norwegian violinist, al
ways an adiairer of America, wished
10 obtain a location for mt 1 colony
of his countrymen He bought u thou
sand acres OF firm of land dealers
and soon afterward brought to this
country several hundred Norwegiuns.

townspeople, Ole Bun set forth the
hopes that had inspired his mission.
The address follows:
Brothers Of Norway From the
cline where the north wind has It's
home; where the maelstrom roars, and
where the aurora for half the year
have come to find home. When we
were among our mountains, and war
was bringing want and famine upon
u.s. we heard there was country in a
mlider climate where liberty dwelt and
plenty reigned. Upon looking over our
records, we found that our country
men, under Thorfin, had discovered
that land more than eight hundred
years ago, but that they were met by
cruel and savage Indians, and had left
no record of themselves, except some
traces of their sad history engraven
in the rocks Of Fall river, and one tenn
pie which they raised to God on an
island at the mouth of Narragansett
bay. All other record Of them had
passed away.
How different is our reception from
that which 1horfin and his followers
received. No savage Indian startles us
with his war whoop, but kind friends
meet us on every side, taking us by the
hand and giving US welcome to our
new home.
Brothers of Norway We must not
disappoint this confidence, but by
lives Of industry and honesty show TO
our new brothers that they have not
misplaced their friendship.
"And now, to these gentlemen of
New York and Pennsylvania, who have
so kindly assisted by their counsel and
advice in this work, return my most
sincere and heartfelt thanks. and cast

heavenly Father resting secure upon
his promise, let us go on in the daily

Overcoming camoufane.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages of camounage-or st
least certain kinds of camoufage-
can be overcome by an opposing army
by providing its airmen and other
scouts with colored glasses or screens
of contrasting colors to use with field
glasses, notes Popular Mechanics
Magazine. When the colors of these
screens are properly selected, uni
forms and other objects may be made
to appear In contrast, instead of in
harmony, with their surroundings, he
claims Camouflage as practieed in
many cases is accomplished largely by
the use of paint, objects being given
shades. that blend with the landscape.
In spite of certain difficulties that
would arise, it is believed that such
efforts at concealment could be rem
dered quite Intellectual by the means
stated.

Casualties in American Mines.

With the wives of miners and other
women members of mining committees
as pupils the United States bureau of
mines has entered upon an active cam
paign to reduce casualties. Eight
mine rescue cars" each with a crew
of men highly trained In modern res
cue methods, have been equipped and
are making the rounds of the mining
communities. Five hundred women
have taken the course given and the
bureau has been overwhelmed, since
the declaration of war, with applica-
tions from women who wish to replace
men on the cars.
Casualties in American mining have
been large and the fatalities have been
figured by the bureau at $50 for every
thousand men engaged. According to
reports from mine operators during the
months in which the first-aid courses
have been conducted the loss of time
from accidents has been materially re-
duced. The results of the campaign
are also noticeable In the better school
attendance of miners children.-New

FIRST WHITE BOY.
Youth Accompanied Columbus
Expedition in 1892.
Detailed at Helm While superIors
Slept, Youngster Was Blamed
for Wreck of Santa Maria.

Many phases of the life of Colum-
bus offer mysteries that the histori-
ans have never been able to clear
away, and one student of the life of
the great explorer has come across
an incidental mystery that has an ap-
pealing interest. 1t relates to a boy
who accompanied the expedition of
1492-the only boy among its mem
bers, and consequently the first white
boy to set foot in America
The contemporary accounts of the
first expedition of Columbus mention
the boy in question only once and
that briefly. They indicate that he
was the only boy in the expedition
and they place on his young shoul-
ders the blame for the great catas-
trophe that befell when the Santa
Maria was wrecked on the coast of
Hayti To be sure the story of the
wreck shows that the boy was less
to blame than his elders, but it was
easy enough to make him the scape-
goat. 1t was the night before Christ
mas, 1892, ten weeks after the dis
covery of the land, and Columbus was
pushing his search for gold among the
West Indies. The flagship, the Santa
Maria, was skirting the coast Of Hay
ii, and late at night, as the wind was
light and the ship barely moving, Col
umbus went to his cabin for rest. He
passed the helm over to the captain.
He. too. soon felt the need of sleep
and went below His successor at the
tiller was a sailor and he shortly fol-
lowed the example Of the admiral and
the master. Before he went ne awak-
ened the lad in question and told him
to mind the helm
The boy did not go to sleep, He
was doubtless a live lad and he felt
the Importance of being trusted to
steer the ship But he was in strange
waters and the currents we're treach-
erous near that coast says an ex-
change The ship struck a reef. The
admiral and crew rushed on deck fin
terror. OF course they blamed the
boy. That was the way Of the world
before 1892 and the fashion has never
changed.
That was the end of the Santa
Maria. The crew reached the shore
in safety and made a fort from the
timbers of the wreck. In that fort,
which they called La Navidad in
honor of the day, about forty of the
crew remained while their companions
went home to Spain on the Pinta and
the Nina One historian mentions a
tradition that the boy remained with
this number, but It is only tradition.
The fate of the forty is a mystery, for
when the second expedition Of Column
bus reached that island a year later
there were only a few charred timbers
and bones to be found. Perhaps the
boy perished there. His name has not
even come down to us, but the brief
glimpse that we have of him is a fas-
cinating one. There is something to
stimulate the Imagination in that
fleeting picture of the boy who stuck
to his post while his superiors slept.

The Smallest Cartoon.

A certain small boy has drawn
caricature picture of President Wilson
upon a single grain of corn. He spent
about a half nour in doing the work,
for which he used water colors, says
Christian Science Monitor. 1t Is said
that some time ago he drew similar
picture upon a single grain of corn
and, upon sending his work to the pres
ident, he received an appreciative ac-
acknowledgement from Washington. This
is believed to be the smallest cartoon
picture in the world, for 1t measures
only about a quarter of an inch In
the longest direction. The likeness +

release from that institution was
said to have been sent to Chicago,
by whom is not known. The Sheriff
said he was unable 10 find Descent.
Four of Hamilton's policemen
appeared as witnesses and they also
had Bert White of the At as Hotel
and M. c. McGaughey, manager
of the hotel to testify. It's claimed
that Smith shot Descent in self de-
fense.
The prosecutor says that any
time that Descent can be located
ard made to testify that the case
can be re.opened 1t looks to a
little bird up in the tree that Mr.
Smith can breathe easy and that he
need never worry about this case.
We are not blaming any one in
particular but it locks rotton to us
that man can shoot skylights
into another man on a Sunday
morning, when our good citizens
are on their way to church, and
stir up the whole city and simply
because the man shot fails to ap
peai, his case is ignored On the
other hand If you are In the vicinity
of a disturbance, you are charged
with rioting, indicted, and if you
fail to give bond must go to Jail.

'Punkin" Peters
Is Indicted For
Burglary.
Was Caught In a Shoe Store
Cellar.

The grand jury which reported
to Judge Clarence Murphy on last
Friday afternoon returned a true
bill of Indictment against one AL
oert Peters. Peters is better known
by his friends and acquaintences
as "Punkin. "Punkin it will be
remembered, was caught in the
cellar of south Third Street shoe
store, along about midnight several
weeks ago. The police found him
hiding behind some barrels and
there were about dozen pairs of
rubber boots piled up at the foot of
the stairway ready to be removed.
Those connected with the store say
the boots were not placed by them
where found by the police.
1t Is claimed that "Punkin"
when arrested declared that he was
innocent, that in passing the place
the CRATE covering the cellar hole
gave way and precipitated him into
the cellar. He failed, however, to
explain his presence behind the
barrels.
"Punkin" was locked up at the
time ot his arrest and later sent to
the county jail In default of bail.
After several days he gave bond
for his a arpearance, was released and
is now working at the Niles Tool
Works Co. foundry where the un
ion moIders are on strike.

snake slte Industrial AccIdent2

Rattlesnake bite now appears IN the
category of industrial accidents" !"
Juan Pacifico was piling wood in Can
ada Diablo, Ventura county, when he
was bitten by snake, and he died
the next day. His sister, Josefa Del
phina Castiano, of Ventura, began ac-
tion before the industrial accident COM
mission, asking for compensation based
on $50 month and board. Pacif1co's
employer, G. RamelIi, sets up a defense
that the sister was not dependent, rath-
er than that rattlesnake bite is not an
industrial accident.
