"I'd rather be my own man. la Al
aska tnan a younger soa In Sweden,
la the way H. Petersen, as be la
known In Skagway, or Herman of
Fetersens as his true name Is, ac
counts for his being in the north
country Instead of remaining In the
place of the third son of a noble
Swedish family.
When the Alamedla sailed Sunday
for the west coast, Petersen was
one of the passengere. For the
oast year and a half he had been
in the Skagway country, and now he
is bound for Seward to seek new
adveu' ures and that will o' the j
j wisp, fortune, which he has been
following over the world for more
than twenty years.
Bluu - eyed and tawny - haired,
stowing his Norse ancestry, and
with well-set shoulders, telling of
miitary training, he looked the part
of one who would not be satisfied
with tbe role of a younger boji in
a titled family of Sweden, where
sous who come after the heir are of
even less, importance than the vice
president of a republic.
India and Australia
Af'«r some servioe In the Swed
ish uivy, where he was a petty of
ficer, Petersen, as ho told his 6tory
Sunday, just before sailing west war
decided to be his "own man." Ad
venturas in India, Australia and
South America followed. Nineteen
years ago he acme to Alaska and
Joined 'he gold hunters, mushing
rver ;he trails fhat sometimes led
to "pay" but more often to barren
gravel.
During these years, in which Pet
ersen has become an old-timer in
Alaska, his eldest brother, August
of Petersens, has been made a cap
tain in the Swedish navy and cham
berlain to the Queen.
Petersen's father was master of
the iiunt to King Oscar. Hia mo
ther was Countess Stenbach, whose
family has played an| important part
in Swedish history, giving the count,
n- oue queen and being one of its
foremost defenders in 1700 under
tlic young Charles XII.

Because announcement yesterday

that she would not make a t!rip in

pression. The Sophia will sail to

HANGING BOY WINS IN
FIGHT WITH BUZZARD
Giant Bird Gives Up the Battle After
an Hour's Tsrrifio Grueling.
Santa Rosa, Cal.—A battle between a
giant buzzard and a fifteen-year-old
boy clinging to the root of a shrub 250
feet up a straight ledge of rock wag
won by the boy, who is now recover
ing from an experience that rivals
Poe'a fictional terrors.
The boy is Hans Mierbach, und he
hung high above a pile of jagged rocks
for four hours. He was walking on
the brink of a precipice when his foot
slipped nnd he fell over. Twenty feet
below he caught a root and hung on.
With his handkerchief he tied his left
wrist to the root and then wrote a note
to a boy friend bidding him farewell
and saying that no one was responsible
for his predicament.
Just as he finished writing a huge
buzzard flew down upon him and start
ed to peck at his head and body. The
hungry bird inflicted deep wounds in
the boy's flesh. Young Mierbach fought
the buzzard with his free hand for over
an hour. He had been tormented to a
frenzy and was about exhausted when
the bird gave up the fight.
At nightfall a searching party found
the boy and.^escued him. He had
nearly lost consciousness from his ex
perience and loss of blood.
Striking Thought.
"Do you think that the automobile
will displace the horse?" asked the
conversational young woman.
"It will," answered the nervous
young man as he gazed down the road,
"If It ever hits him."—Exchange.
Prejudice.
Prejudice Is knowing it Isn't so when
you don't know anything about It
Prejudice Is something yon are sure
you haven't a bit of yourself, but you
are sure everybody else has a lot of.
Prejudice Is the mother of laziness, the
ally of Ignorance and superstition and
the world'B greatest bar to progress.—
