Arneberg I'm Vienna.
Letters have been received from DR..
]. G. Arneberg of Grand Forks, N. D.,
showing that he is at the present time
in Vienna where he pursues clinical
studies. DR.. Arneberg, a native of
Norway, who has for years been a
practicing ear, eye and throat speci-
alist in the North Dakota city, left
the United States some months ago
together with DR.. Harold Petersen of
Minneapolis; the two men were to
tour Europe by automobile, according
to their plans.
Receives High Order.
Dr. Victor Nilsson, music critic of
the Minneapolis Journal for many
years, has been decorated with the
Swedish North Star order by the king
of Sweden who in this way has desired
to show appreciation for the fine work
DR.. Nilsson has done in creating
American interest in Swe fish music.
About ten years ago DR.. Nilsson re-
ceived the Vasa order. 1t might be
added that the distinguished critic has
not confined himself to calling atten-
ton to Swedish music but has also
very generously contributed to Ameri-
can understanding of Norwegian and
Danish music.

its noble work. Will you not con-
tribute Ten Cents to this very worthy
cause? And complete the chain OF
good vibrations by sending copies OF
this letter 10 three of your friends IN
whom you have confidence? In this

"Do not break the chain.
"E. Tolliver, treasurer,
"Red Thrush, Iowa."
Ginger was greatly pleased with the
formal tone of this letter. She knew
very well that if she received such an
appeal, she would contribute gladly
If she had the money. She read It
over and over, adding a word, omit
ting q word, substituting word. until
the final version seemed impossible of
Improvement.
The question to whom the letter
should be sent was subjected to deep
thought. Indeed, it was more than
thought, so deep 1t was. Men. she
knew, were more susceptible Than
women to personal appeal-particu-
larly when the personal appeals came
from not unattractive girls. But wOm-
en- were more superstitiOus and would
be more reluctant to bring upon them
selves the implied curse that would
result from a breaking of the chain.
Women, then.
As for location, she was not par
ticular, except that it would be best
to start at some distance from Red
Thrush. Methodist interests are close
ly allied in neighboring towns. and
she realized the importance of pro-
tecting the family name. Now Ginger
herself was deeply enamOred OF the
chain letter idea, 70 her it smacked
absolutely Of the hand of Providence.
But one could never know just how
fathers and older sisters would react
to things, hence she realized it would
be the part of discretion to avoid
questions whose answers could not be
evaded. Ginger's unfailing resource
in an emergency was the daily press
She got the last issue of the Burling-
ton Hawkeye. and studied its col
umns. Now, theoretically, chain
should start from single link, but
she was not willing to trust the
foundation of her fortunes to one
small dime which might nor be forth
coming.
She decided upon three as a fair
start. ''Three links are better than
one" she said thoughtfully "And if
1t starts three chains, so much the
better"
When ever she came to the name of
a woman mentioned prominently, she
put her finger on the place, closed her
eyes, and tried to get a vibration
about it. Finally the three letters
were written, enclosed in envelopes,
addressed, and Ginger took them at
once to the corner mail box, and put
them in.
"Ah," she breathed ecstatically, as
she turned back toward the parsonage.
Her heart was as light as the wings
Of butterfly, it seemed to carry her
home. Already the old house looked
a new place TO her. rosy place. bright
with flowers, fresh paint, new furni-
ture. Thousands upon thousands.
Helen herself had said it. Thousands
upon thousands
"Oh, / wish | had asked or quar-
ters," she thought. 'Such a very good
cause, nobody could hegrudge It,"

Light laughter, light talk, which hid
the sadness beneath, but did not hide
the tenderness. the pervading SYM
pathy, the great gladness that they
were five together, even in their
sorrow.

university Of Texas and author OF
the recently published book va
quero OF the Brush Country" writes
the Brownsville Chamber Of Com
merce Wednesday in an attempt
to determine the exact route Of the
Old Chisholm Trail trough the
Valley.
The trail is to be marked with
numerous road signs and a monu-
ment will be erected in Brownsville
showing the end Of the trail.
"Of course, the cattle trail took
about the most direct route on
which there was water, and it
could be easily determined" Mr..
Dobie writes. However, IL would
not, 1 believe, follow either one Of
the present highways"
MI. Dobie suggests that local
men get in touch with old cowmen
and trail drivers. and interview
them as TO the routes they took.
A meeting Of the old Trail drivers
early in october will be held and
at the meeting the route will be
settled, he explained.
Mr.. Dobie's book was we'll re-
