Many tools and other stone OBJ
jects left by the Cave people of
Europe have been found, but
nothing in the nature of a bed.
It is likely that those folk slept
on leaves or other soft material
on cave floors.
So far as is known, the people
of ancient Egypt were the chief
pioneers in making frames for
beds. The residents of Babylo-
nia-who were closely related to
the EgyptianS-also had frames,
or bedsteads, during early times.
In Egypt today we can see beds
which date back thousands of
years. When ! visited museum
in Cairo, eight beds from the
tomb of King Tut were on dis

King Tut Cor Tutankhamen)

SMALL BOATS TO AMERICA

The trips from foreign lands by
early settlers of Minnesota con-
stitute extended accounts of hard
ship and ambition. Among the
manuscripts and stories in the
Minnesota Historical Society are
those which concern this long
journey made by so many thous-
ands OF the pioneer people Of the
state.
Ole Brude lived in Norway and
wished TO join his father at Bear
River in upper ST. Louis county.
In common with many Norwe-
gians, he knew boats and the big
ocean. In 1905 he designed a boat
for a trip to America. 1t was a
sailing boat only IS feet in length.
He helped build it. About the mid
die of the year he and three COM
panions left Norway, They took
the dangerous north route in a
dangerous time OF the year. Five
months were required for the
crossing Ole Brude and his
friends wanted to show the world
what a small boat could do on a
rough ocean.
II is believed that the Brude
boat with its passengers for Min
nesota was the smallest craft ever
TO cross the Atlantic.

The album was recorded in De-
cember. 1850. and consists of three
Ellington compositions from the
early 's--said 10 be Dukes most
creative period and one which
dated from tho year OF the record
ing and which demonstrated con-
temporary influences.
The 1890 compositions, revamp-
ed, revltalized, harmonically and
metrically enlarged, reflect the
Ellington group just before II I'M
derwent a change In musical
mode. Titles Of the trio are Mood
Indigo, 1891 writing, which in its
revamped version, has the mellow
ness Of Jimmy Hamilton's baritone
sax in the forefront Sophisticated
Lady, dating from 1888; and Soil
tudc, 1894 number. The fourth
item is Tattoocd Bride.
