Ole EdVart Rolvaag, professor of
Morse literature at st. Olaf's College
Mortified, Mimi, and author of nu-
merous novels, gained his first real i'm
preston of the spirit of America from
team of balky horses after he had
come here as an immigrant.
II found myself on a streetcar in
Brooklyn" he said, "and the car was
being held up by big van. The
horses drawing the mountainous wag-
on had baked and it seemed that
nothing could move it. Traffic and
the busy people on the car were COM
pletely tied up. Finally the motorman,
after changing his bell in vain, turned
on his power and the horses had to
move. He showed the van and team
for nearly two blocks, after which the
horses changed their minds and went
ahead of their own accord.
"That served as my inspiration"
he said. 'It came over me in a wave
that America was like that. Clang,
clang, over the top. If you can't do
1t one way try another! Such a
thing could never have happened in
Europe. l have seen many wonder
full things here since, but that incl
dent was the keynote of all I have
found lin this ountry."-American

Race Mingling

In Hawaii, according to the Homo.
lulu Nippu-Jiji, intermarriage between
its many races is becoming more and
more prevalent. American men in the
islands showed the highest percentage
of intermarriage in the year ending
June 80. 1927, only 152 out of total
of 1888 being with women of their own
people. Hawaiian women also inter
marry frequently, for out of 271 mar
riages recorded, 156 were with men,
bers of other races. The Chinese, in
spite of popular belief that they are
inclined toward intermarriage, showed
a total of but ~ such weddings out of
IT'S men who were married. Only 90
out of 1913 japanese men married wom-
en- of another race, and intermarriages
among japanese women totaled Al out
of $40.

Largest Rose Garden
Ouned BY King Boris

King Boris. the bachelor king of Bull
garia, who has just paid private visit
to King George at Balmoral, has royal
rights over the biggest rose garden in
the world. 1t is about 40 miles long
and 10 broad. The peasants of nearly
200 villages cultivate 1t. Their women
folk get up before dawn to strip it.
When gentle breeze blows they say
that it's scent penetrates far beyond
the Thracian plain in which it is sit
uated.
1t is this garden which yields the
world-famous altar of roses, that
luscious perfume which, in olden
times, Persian shahs commanded
should be used exclusively in their
harems. 1t is said that this even to
day in India Is offered to wedding
guests on little twisted cotton at the
end of short stick.
Altar of roses has long been the
costliest perfume put on the market.
During the war it ran up to $50
per ounce, and at present is round
about $15.
The Bulgarian rose grower who does
his own distilling does not get any,
thing like such prices.

Buck Paid Board Bill
With Set of AnfIers

Superintendent J. r. Eakin of Gla-
cier National park is authority for one
of the most striking instances of wild
animal gratitude recorded In natural
history. He relates:
"a buck deer with especially fine
antlers has been a great favorite at
headquarters this winter, and several
people expressed desire for his
horns when they were shed, which in
variabIy happens around January.
Zone morning while feeding this
buck on her back porch, woman re
siding at administrative headquarters
was astonished to see him rub his
horns on the wall until they fell to
the floor. AS she fed him more often
than any other person, she believes it
was his way of showing gratitude"

THREE PHOSPHATE CAVES.

Phosphate deposits in mountain
caves, the product of long centuries Of
habitation by swallows, bats and
other animals, have been opened to
exploitation for use in Europe's grain
fields. Three notable caves have late
ly been explored, according to Franz
kirnbauer, an engineer resident in
Rumania. These are the Dragons
cave and the Czoklovina cave in Aus
trla and Minerva cave in France.
The first two have already yielded
10000 tons OF phosphate earth. The
latter, estimated to contain 10000
tons, has not yet been exploited

of actuality paints different picture.
To begin with, no self-respecting
camel would ever think of submitting
to mans dictates without argument.
He is a naughty, obstinate, vindic-
tive creature, and fault finding is. as
much part of his makeup as the
graceful neck upon which his proud
head is set.
If this so-called trusting individual
gets the notion that too much of a
burden has been placed on his back
nothing on earth will induce him to
rise from the kneeling position he
assumes at loading time. He squats
as immovable as the rock of Gibral
tar.
The Arabs try to trick him into
getting up by removing part of the
load and then replacing it as the
camel scrambles to his feet. Some
times the trick works and sometimes
it does not. In either case Mr. Camel
will spend the rest of the day grum-
bling.
And he does not always express
his resentment in mere grumbling.
When his ire is aroused his temper
wakes hot as the MONDAY sun. He
has terrific kick and is uncannily
proficient in delivering it.

CHILD AND MOTHER

o Mother-my-Love, If you'll give me
your hand,
And go where / ask you to wander,
will lead you away to a beautiful
land
The Dreamland that's waiting out
yonder.
Well walk in a sweet posie garden out
there
Where the moonlight and starlight
are streaming
And the flowers and birds are filling
the air
With fragrance and music of dream
ing.
There'n be no little tired out boy to
undress,
No questions or cares to perplex you;
There'n be no little bruises or bumps
to caress,
Nor patches of stockings to vex you.
For I'll rock you away on a silver dew
stream,
And sing you asleep when you're
weary,
And no one shall know of our beau
tiful dream,
But you and your own little dearie.
And when l am tired I'll nestle my
head
In the bosom that's soothed me so
often,
And the wide awake stars shall sing
In my stead
A song which our dreaming shall
soften.
