Omaha Boy, 13, Travels 5,000 Miles Alone by Land and
Sea to Get Back to School; Mother Is III in Norway
First to Sight Land; Thrilled
by New York
Skyline^
Traveling a distance of more than
5,000 miles alone across, hind and sea,
John Kvenlld, 13-year-old son of Mr,
and Mrs. B. Kvenlld, 5118 California
street, arrived home Wednesday
morning safe and sound.
John, a pupil at Dundee school, had
spent the summer with his mother
and little brother, Robert, 4. in Nor
way, but it was necessary for him to
leave them there on account of the
Illness of his mother.
In his recent letters to his father,
an Omaha architect, John had ex
pressed a wish to return to home and
school.
First to Sight I.and.
On September lil the Omaha youth
boarded the steamship Stavengerfjord
at Christiania, Norway, to be the
guest of Captain Irgeno, a family
friend.
In addition to the unusual adven
ture of making the ocean voyage
alone, John was permitted to put
hands on the steering device and to
assist in the making of charts. He
stood on the bridge with the captain
to learn the ways of the sea.
"I was the first man on the ship
to sight land,” said John enthusiasti
cally. “The first stop was at Halifax,
then we went down the coast to New
York.”
Fight at Midnight.
John explained to his father the
lighting of (he skyline of New York
Ci(y lost Sunday night as the ship
enchored in the bay to await the
time of docking the next day.
"It was great to see the lights
twinkle,” he said.
John declared that the strangest
thing he saw while in Norway was
the light of day about midnight.
"We had returned from a circus
that evening and it was still as light
as a cloudy day in Omaha.
Iliad to Be Home.
John bade the captain of the ship
goodby in New York and boarded his
train for Omaha.
"It was a great trip. I am glad
to bo home,” said the boy, as he
smiled at his schoolmates who had
come to his home before the school
hour to welcome him. The boys
grouped about John heard about the
treasures in his trunk, the best of
which was an entire skiing outfit
such as used In Norway.
The return of Mrs. Kvenlld and
small son. Robert, is indefinite, said
Mr. Kvenlld, but John reported that
his mother was much Improved and
that he expected her home soon.

Too much Independence may
End by throwing It away.
—Jimmy Skunk.
Inc’ Billy Has a Quiet Chuckle.
Where was Unc’ Billy Possum? You
remember that Farmer Brown's Boy
was sure that Unc’ Billy was in the
box trap that had been set for him.
It wasn’t until he hart opened that
trap that he had discovered that In
stead of Unc’ Billy Possum lie had
caught an independent little gentle
man dressed In black-and-white. At
a safe distance from the barrel into j
which Jimmy Skunk had been
dropped from the trap Farmer
Brown’s Boy had turned and stared
at that .barrel as if even then lie
couldn't believe his eyes had seen
what he knew they had seen.
At thlrt very time when he should
have been In that barrel, according
to Farmer Brown's Boy's way of
thinking, Unc’ Billy was curled up
in' his bed In a certain hollow tree In |
the Green Forest. And the very lust
thing he did before going to sleep
was to chuckle and wonder what had
happened to Jimmy Skunk.
You remember that Unc’ Billy had
found a very comfortable retreat un
der the back porch of Farmer
Brown's house, and that Farmer
Brown's Boy had guessed that he
was there and had set a box trap for
him. Unc’ Billy had known nothing
about that trap. He had made up hi*
mind that under that porch was a
very good place and that he would
stay there for awhile, sleeping during
daylight and going out after dark
lo see what he could find around
Farmer Brown's dooryard.
Farmer Brown s Boy had set that
trap Just In front of a hole under the
back porch late in the afternoon. Unc’
Billy had heard him. Ho hadn't
known what Farmer's Brown's Boy
was doing, but he had shrewdly de
cided that It would be best to wait
