I nm\n Tnnnfriiiipr By H. L CLEVELAND, \ Of the thousands of Norwegians and Swedes set upon the prairies of the Dakotas SO years ago compara tively few read or understood Eng lish. It WAS surprising, though, how quickly they adjusted them selves to their nev environment. V/liilo the women? worked in the prairie fields with the men, while all were tillers of the soil and carriers, of burdens, they yet found time to master much Of the new tongue, to. open American schools and to pur chase American books and news papers, Wnon tho first hard winter came, many of the men and. women willingly went to school on such days as the blizzards permitted and pored over spelling hooks and arith metic with tue children. In tho Hay Meadows school dis- i trict was a Norwegian family of the name of Torgeson. The mother, j Anna, was perhaps 22 or S3 years old. The father was 30, The three children were toddlers, too young for school and books. Never theless when winter school opened, Anna Torgeson, with one child at her breast and two at her skirts, forced her way across the prairie to the sod schoolhouse and asked for admission. Torgeson himself did not go with her. He was one of the few who opposed any effort to change the order of things that had prevailed in the home land. He pro posed to be a Norseman to the last of his days. Ho would speak in no tongue hut his own. He would go , to no church hut the "kirk," and that not existing On the prairies he would do without worship. He wore his peaked hat, his oiled coat, his skin trousers and avoided his American neighbors except as he was forced to trado with them. Although he soon understood a few words of English when a land office collector came for the last payment on his final proof notice, he would speak to him only in the Norse tongue. Then the strong arm of tho government reached out and Torgeson was frightened. He broke his vows and spoke in English until the title to his land was clear. The hay meadows district was a temperance community. The set tlers from the distant lands.of the north were strongly religious, hard workers, moderate fn ' all habits, kindly to> all who met them. That Torgeson should bo the one among them to fail tb rightly accept the new life in the republic pained them. They earnestly labored with bim^but he would not listen. Whsn Anna Torgeson made known her de sire to attend the district school, he swore loudly and at first said she should not go. Later he answered her pleadings: "Gb if you will, hut yon put some thing between us two you will never get over. I am as my fathers were. If you would be different, all right, but it viii go hard with both of us later." Anna Torgeson was straight of limb and blue of eyes. . She was beautiful when Torgeson made her his bride. Motherhood hut added to her charms. She had mind, too --quick witted intelligence, a rare aptitude for knowing the best and clinging-to it. For her children's sake she believed she ought to at tend the district school. When To.rgeson finally gave his consent, she wound her . arms about his neck and kissed him long, hut Torgeson pushed her arr?y and growled. Ho would not surrender/. Ho came to 'America but for gain j when* that was-had, he would return te his folk? ?ii i? unchanged. All through November and De cember of that dreary winter Alina Torgeson made her way. to the \ schoolhouse and worked for mas tery of the English tongue. Torge son staid at the farm minding the cattle and their fodder or. brooding over his pipe and cups. That his wife should not side with him was the bitterest thing ho had to endure, j Ho wja not a had man,' only/ a | cruellj* obstinate one, ?nd, having started on the wrong path, he would ? not turn back and find the rieht one. H \ might have made Iiis wife's T ::ter a bright one. Ho could ha . taken out the sledge and driven h f and the? children the short mile to the schoolhouse, but he would not. ' No matter how dew , tho snow and fierce the winds, lie let them go alone, unaided, un less neighbors gaye a helping hand. When January, the worst month of the season, caine, he miwln va* cf Tori io assist them. So wide was tho gulf between husband and wife now that he even, let tho New Year's day pass without the home celebra tion they had never missed before. Even that night, when Anna Torge son carno to where ho brooded in his chair and, weeping, begged him to be tho man of their first days, he ousted her from him and answered: "I am not of yours. I have not changed. It is you that has chang ed. Let it be." Anna : Torresan went ' on with tho school, pravmg every night to ..her QOd that her husband might yet awaken and bo one with her again. ?In the school sho* was tho most apt pupil. Sh? was tho first to learn to write English, the first to be ablo to speir English rightly. Her neigh bors, many, of whom had knowiti nor bc?ore her marriage, rejoiced over her progress. 'Torgeson will be proud of his wife yet/' they said. But Torgeson remained bitterly against her. Only the babies gave her love and comfort. A. January day came w?.?n thc aim, rose warm over the snow cover ed prairies and in the air there was a false whisper of spring. The hay' meadows folk on their way to the school shook their head. They had learned that this beauty of nature at such a timo meant coming terror of blinding sleet and deathly cold. AU through tho morning the sun shine flooded the interior of the schoolhouse and the water dripped from the snow covered sod eaves, but the pupils within did not trust tho warmth. At noon they ate their lunches by the open door, but n?ne failed to notice. the growing grayness of the sky in the north and the change in the sweep of the wind. When school closed, a frightful blizzard was upon them. The ther mometer had fallen to far below zero and tho air was filled with sleet that cut the skin like chopped glass. Tho twelve pupils of the school looked at each other in the growing darkness. Every woman present had a man to guide her home but Anna Torgeson. Every child had a man protector but the children of Anna Torgeson. "The rest of you will go on," said Anna Torgeson. "There is some fuel here. I and my children will stay until this is over." Some offered to guide her home before they went their own way, but she said the storm was growing worse every minute and they mu6t . hasten for their own safety. They scraped together such food as they had left from noon and gave it to her. It was not much for four mouths, but for the* baby there was Anna Torgesbn's breast. Just as the others prepared to leave Anna Torgeson called to one : "Stay a moment. Torgeson will worry. I will send him a note. Get it to him somehow when you can that he may know I am safe." And she wrote in English. "Dear Husband: I am safe in the school with the babies. Don't worry about me. Annie Torgeson." Late that afternoon, with the most awful storm he had ever known howling about his home, Torgeson got that note, and the bearer did not dare to leave him for his life so fierce was tho blast. "I can't read it," grumbled Tor geson. So the other read it to him, and then Torgeson crumpled it in his hand and said : "Let her stay there. She cares more for the school ''han for me." . He sat before his good fire hour after hour, and once in . awhile when he thought he was unobserved he would glance at the writing of the note he could not read. At mid night ho could stand it no longer. He was Torgeson, the obstinate, but his wife and babies were over in that schoolhouse without much fuel or food. Ho took with him tho man who had brought the note, and they brought the horses out of tho sta bles, and they fought as men never fought before against snow and cold, and they gained the Behool, a mile away, in two hours, and Torge son beat open the door, and the blast came with him, but the anger and the old pain had gone from him forever. Bending over the stovo to keep herself and babies alive, Anna Tor' geson heard his voice, knew by its note that out of the horror he had struggled with to reach her new love and hope had come, and she leaped to him and was caught in his arms, never to be put from him again.--Chicago Kecord-Herald.

The personality of Mrs. Roosevelt, new mistress of the White HOUBO', is little known to tho public. Her pic ture has been published less than that of the wife of any man prominent in public life to-day. The explanation is President Roosevelt's right ideas on the privacy of the home. He be lieves that a man's public and private affairs should be kept scrupulously distinct, and this belief has always govern*i his own life and that of his family. In the oirole of her acquaintances Mrs. Roosevelt is known to be one of the most cultivated and accomplished women who has been a member of the society of Washington in recent years. In the minds of those who know her well there is no doubt that to her steadfast ambitions for her husband and her firm belief in his talents and ability have been a spur to which the President owes much of hi? suuuess in public life. Mrs. Roosevelt was Miss Edith Ca row, whose family has always been in timate with the Roosevelts, and Mrs. Roosevelt und her husband knew one another from childhood. She is of medium height, with fair complexion, dark eyes and hair and a splendid oharm of manner. She has traveled much, and is a good linguist and prob ably one of the best read women in of ficial society. The amount of litera ture she and her husband manage to read is said to be equalled only by the famous record of Lord Macaulay and his sister. As the wife of the Vioe-President, Mrs. Roosevelt has naturally appeared muoh in. society and she has enter tained the most interesting figures in Washington, both foreigners and Americans. But Mrs. Roosevelt's ohief interests have never been in so ciety. Her home duties have always claimed her first, and her children and her housekeeping have her constant personal oare. She is a good business woman and her household finances are under her direct supervision. There are five children in thc Roose velt household. The President was married when very young to Miss Alice Lee, of Boston, who lived but two or turee years after her marriage. She left a daughter, Alice, who is now 17 years old. The other children Theodore, Jr., ?aged 14; Kermit, 12; Ethel, 10, and Quentin, 4, are the present Mrs. Roosevelt's. The Roosevelt borne, near Oyster Bay, is a many-gabled house on Saga more Hill, & knoll that overlooks the bay, and the wooden glen to the west, known as West Hallow. To reach it you drive over a macadamized road along the shores of the bay and then up the hill through a grove of chest nut, oak and dogwood. The house is three stories high, the first of red briok, above which the wide Dutch tsuiDgies give it the air of an early colonial mansion. Tho most striking features are the wide verandas, the squatty chimneys and the great num ber ol dormer windows. A porte-cochero at the South en trance is adorned with a pair of spreading antlers. It is almost cover ed with ivy and Tirginia deeper. The interior of. the house displays . the oc cupants' taste. The reoeption hall is a spacious room in the centre of the house. It contains many of the Presi dent's trophies of the chase, and, like all thc rooms, a fair share of books. A handsome head of a wapiti hangs over thc mao tel, on either side of which are antlers of the caribou. The floor is covered with bear and pan ther skins, and in the corner is a hat rack of a set of antlers, containing twenty-four branches.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Crowds of Two Cities.

That President Roosevelt has un bounded respect and a kindly feeling for the peoplo of the South is well known. He has so expressed himself repeatedly. The following tribute to liobert ?. Lee is taken from Mr. Roosevelt's life of Thomas H. Benton: "The deoline of the militant spirit in ?he northeast during the first half of this century was much to be regret ted. To it is due more than to any other oause the undoubted average in dividual inferiority of the Northern, compared to the Southern troope; at any rate, at the beginning of the war Of the rebellion. The Southerners by their whole mode of living, their habits, and their love of outdoor sports, kept up their war-like spirit; whilo in the North tho ?o-es?cd upper classes developed along the line of a wealthy and timid bourgeoise type, measuring everything by a mercantile standard (a peculiarly debasing one by itself), and submitting to be ruled in local affairs by low foreign mobs, and in national matters by their arro gant Southern kinsmen. The militant spirit of these last certainly stood j them in good stead in the civil war. i The world has never seen better sol die rs than those who followed Lee; and their leader will undoubtedly rank as without an exception tho very greatest of all the great captains that the English speaking people have brought forth-and this, although the last and chief of his antagonists may himself olaim to stand as the full equal nf Marlborough and Wellington/' Speed of Dogs. Comparatively few pe opio realize of j what remarkable speed dogs are capa ble. Some re ru ai kable statisttos in regard to this have been gathered by M. Dusolier, a French scientist. After pointing out the marvelous endurance shown by little fox terriers who follow their masters patiently for hours while the latter are riding on bicycles or in carriages, he says that even greater endurance is shown by certain wild animals that are 'akin to dogs. Thus a wolf can run between 50 and 60 miles in one night, and an arctic fox can do quite as well, if not better, j Nansen met one of these foxes on the ice at a point more than 70 milos northwest of the Sannikow territory, whioh is 480 miles from the Asiatic coast. Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel 45 miles on the iee in five hours, and there is one case on record in whioh a team of Esquimaux dogs traveled six and a half miles in 28 minutes. Aeoording to Dosolier, the speed of the shepherd dog and those used for hunting, ranges from 10 to 15 yards a second. English setters and pointers hunt nt the rate of IS to 19 miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least two hours. Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift, as is proved by the fact that a dog of this breed once beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six min utes and a half, which was at the rate of nearly 18 yards a second. Greyhounds are the swiftest of all fourfooted creatures, and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons. English greyhounds, whioh are carefully selected, and whioh are used for coursing, are able to cover, at a. full gaile a space be tween 18 and 23 yards S Vcr y necond. f - Ho? great as achievement this h maybe judged from the fact that a thoroughbred horse rarely, if ever, exceeds 19 yards. Moreover, it is said that a hare at its greatest speed never goes faster than at the rate of 18 yards. . These interesting statistics are ex citing much comment among sports men and other lovers of dogs, and the opinion is unanimous that M. Doso lier has fully proved the right of the greyhound to rank as thc swiftest of quadrupeds.
