KsON’S IDEA OF AMERICA
|”A Dangerous Stepmother—Rich and
Beautiful,” Said the Gifted
i Norwegian.
i
i Bjornson lectured in America in
. 1880, and has always had friends and
. admirers in this country. Bernard
Stahl, who has lately published in
। New York a translation of “Wise-
Knut,” one of Bjornson’s most charac-
teristic tales, gives an interesting ac
count of his last meeting with “the
master” in Christiania in 1902, says
Current Literature. The occasion was
a birthday banquet held in honor of
Bjornson's seventieth anniversary.
There were two main tables. At the
head of one sat the guest of honor, at
the other Nansen, recently returned
from his memorable trip to the north.
“Many a mery jest,” Mr. Stahl records,
“flew from one table to another; and
though it might be difficult, at a glance,
to tell which of the two giants looked
the younger, it was easy enough to
determine which of the two swords
beat sharpest. The author had the
readier wit.”
Mr. Stahl’s narrative proceeds: “The
famous master had a cordial hand
shake and a cheerful word for all. I
was introduced to this uncrowned Nor
wegian king by his son Bjorn Bjorn
son, who at that time was director of
the new National theater, for which
the old master had done so much. I
^rave met many a big man whose
thoughts have been far away while ap
parently speaking with interest to his
listener, but not so with Bjornson. If
he spoke or listened at all he put both
his soul and body into the subject so
to speak.
“Speaking about his old love for
America, he said: ‘Several of the en
terprising American managers have
tried hard to get me across the water
again, but so far I have resisted the
temptation—though with a sore heart.
Not that I am afraid of touring the
country and turning out a hundred
lectures, no sir; but what I’m afraid
of, I am sorry to say, is the hospitality
of the American people. Look at Nan
sen there! He seems quite able-bodied,
doesn’t he? Well, sir, he had to “beat
: it," as they say in America, and why?
i On account of too much champagne!’
f And his eyes sparkled with mirth as
• he emitted a roar of buoyant laughter.
■ ‘However, I may risk it,’ he continued
“ seriously, ‘ I shall have to say many
i a harsh word to young America,
though, because she has deprived Nor
. way of her best children, although she
I deserves praise for the great oppor
. tunities she has given most of them,
i She is a dangerous stepmother be
i cause she is rich, and beautiful worn
i en are dangerous through their power
i over young men.’ And again he laugh
i ed. And the 500 guests joined him,
i joined him heartily, because his laugh
■ ter was such that it could set the sun
> dancing on the mountain tops in wld
' winter, and that means much in Nor
• way."

■RING his recent stay of a day
BMand night in Omaha, Col. Roose
velt was initiated into the order
of Ak-Sar-Ben, an organization of Mid
dle West “boosters.” Such details as
have leaked out give the idea that
the ceremonies were of a peculiarly
lively character, and the distinguished
Initiate is said to have enjoyed them
hugely. The character of the doings
may be judged from the illustrations
representing “stunts” through which
the ex-president was put. From the
expression on his face it may be
judged that the fun in no way dis
pleased Col. Roosevelt.
Last year President Taft was in
itiated into the society, which is chief
ly made up of business men who have
banded themselves in a co-operative
movement, having for its object the
development of the transmissouri
country.
IN THE SCRAP HEAP
Remnant of French Panama

Costly Machinery Brought Over by
Backers of Ferdinand de L^seps
Being Sent to Furnaces to

Harrisburg, Pa. —The ghost of old
Ferdinand de Les»eps, the French en

visit the yards of the Harrisburg Iron
and Steel company and see what Is be

and equipment which he shipped from
France to the Isthmus of Panama in
the ’7os, to ^id in the construction of
the big ditch that was to be dug solely
by French labor, conducted by French
skill and paid for by French cash from
the strong box of the banker and the
humble woolen sock of the French
peasant.
As all the world knows, after De Les
seps had made such a great success in
building the Suez canal, he was urged
to greater efforts to build a canal
across the Isthmus of Panama to con

and he set about the task with fer-

New York Magistrate Rejects Offer

New York. —A simple and easy

Eskimos Have Girl In Moon.

Instead of having a man in ths

their young warriors, according to the
legend, became angry with his sister,
and ran at her to box her ears. Final

Miss Zoe Boyle Explains Workings of
Her Nomenclature System—
Not Fortune Telling.
New York.—What’s in a name?
Nearly everything from a sure throat
to a steady job, in the opinion of Miss
Zoe J. Boyle of this city, who calls
herself “a name analysist.” She main
tains that when one writes one’s self
"E-D-Y-T-H-E,” instead of “E-D-I-T-H,”
one actually makes one’s self a wholly
different person. For, she says, as
“Edythe” one may be more unlucky
than when it’s spelled with an “I.”
“It isn’t, fortune-telling,” said Miss
Boyle. “It is the working of a natural,
ordinary law. It means a lot of accu
rate, careful work. Every letter of
the child’s two or three names—Chris
tian, middle and surname—stands for
something. Then each letter is equiva
lent to a npmber in several mathe
matical tables which I use. The sim
plest is like this,” and she showed the
following diagram:
123456789
abcdefgh 1
Jklmnopqr
stuvwxyz
“I add up all the numbers to which
the respective letters of the name be
long. For Instance, the name ‘Mary’
would be 4-plus 1, plus 9, plus 7. The
sum of these is 21, and I consider the
. vibrations of that number in two ways,
i as the compound number, 21, and as
। the sum of the two component parts,
2 plus 1, or 3? I have many books tell
i ing what qualities and tendencies
' every number stands for, away up into
i the hundreds.
, "Using this simple table, I analyze
• each of the names borne by the person
i I am studying. I then add the sum
. of the letters of the three names to
; gether, coupled with the mother’s
i maiden name. Only with all this data
• do I attempt to make a reading."
i "But people don’t name themselves."
the reporter ventured, "and Isn’t It
when De Lesseps and his merry men
began to dig the ditch that failed.
There was only one thing to do with
this old stuff, and that was to gather
it, ship It north and sell it for junk,
to be remelted in the Yankee smelting
pot, to make useful things. Tons upon
tons of it were sent to New York and
sold, and among those who got a share
was the Harrisburg Iron and Steel
company. Thus far Harrisburg has
handled 1,500 tons of this scrap. As
none of it can be used for its original
purpose, as fast as it is received here
it is cleaned of the rust of years and
the mud of Panama and sent to fur
naces, for there is always a demand
for it, because of its quality.
'Gator in Hen’s Nest.
New York. —A pet alligator owned
by the family of Jesse Irving Taylor,
249 Broad street, Bloomfield, N. J.,
disappeared and had been given up as
lost.
Miss Jeannette Taylor, while gather
ing eggs from the nests in the chicken
’ coop was startled to see the head of
the alligator sticking from under the
wing of an old black hen sitting in
one of the nests. The gator, Ted, was
removed from its comfortable quar
ters and placed in an aquarium. The
alligator had grown considerably, and
judging from the number of shells
found, had been subsisting on fresh
eggs.

rather unfair that their characters and
their luck should be determined in
spite of themselves, at their christen
ing?”
"Science is seldom fair,” she an
swered, “and people have only to
change their names. Os course, fre
quently it would be rather inconve
nient to disturb the surname. But-even
if that is an unlucky one, the Chris
tian name can nearly always be
manipulated to neutralize the bad
qualities of the other.”
“That’s why some women are so
different after they are married?” was
suggested.
“Yes, indeed,” said Miss Boyle, “and
you know many unhappy marriages
are simply the result of an unlucky
combination of names;”

Nitric Acid Helps After Year of Hard,
Conscientious Work, Winning
Girl’s Heart.
New York. —After a year’s conscien

from the third finger of the left hand

Miss Lilith Borsberg has consented
to their betrothal.
Just 13 months ago Mcßian asked
Miss Borspherg to promise to marry
him, but she told him such a thing
was out of the question, as she would
be unable to get the solitaire over the
warts, and even if this were possible
“the ugly things” would have detract
ed from the beauty of that symbol of
their plighted troth. So Mcßaln went
to work, and after what seemed to
him the longest year he ever lived,
succeeded finally In vanquishing the
last stubborn excrescence of the flesh,
and now he wears a smile and Miss

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.
Children’s taste is ofttimes more ac
curate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate

A Brooklyn lady says: “Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were puz
zled to know what to feed him on.
“One lucky day w r e tried Grape-
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such a relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
it seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape-
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
“The difference in his appearance is
something wonderful. _
“My husband had never fancied ce
real foods of any kind, but he be

“We are now a healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
“A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with rickets. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment They

Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
“They continued (he food and today

course, my friend is a fiym believer In
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
