CHARLES LINDBERGH i | l( OXTIM Ell FROM PAGE OXEI ■years and years. One finds that the ■ blood of the Norsemen in him i; mix- | Bed wi.h the blood of the crusaders of ■ the England of King Richard the I Lionhearted’s day. And those are the ■ bloods of courage, of simple thought ■ and living, and of high adventure. | it was February 4, 1902, that this | ■ lad was born, in a comfortable home, ■in Detroit. Michigan. His mother was ! ■ Evangeline Lodge Lindbergh, and his ■ father Charles A. Lindbergh, lawyer’ ■ and later a member of congress. | His father was born in Sweden. Hut ■ in 1860 he had come with his own ■ father to Sauk Center, Minnesota. ■ There the elder Lindbergh had set I himself to the task of building a I pioneer home. He had felled the I trees and built a log cabin, 12 by 16 I feet, and in it the father of Charlie I Lindbergh played -through his tfcarly I childhood. Before going a bit behind the I scenes he may seem only an amazing I adventurer. You, believe he must be B a genius and that Charlie Lindbergh I just happened to be born blessed with I luck and a darling of circumstance. But if when one is amazed at his I splendid tact shown in a speech of I 100 words which sends a gathering of I French statesmen and citizens into I wild enthusiasm, it is recalled that I his father was a power to be const.iI ered in politics for 20 years and his I grandfather sat in the parliament of I Sweden, it is realized that his heredJ ity is one which points to such skill X When one reads of his exquisite | courage, it can be recalled that his ! grandfather lost his right arm hewI ing at the trees to clear his homei stead in the Minnesota forests and a few months later was back wielding in his left hand his great axe once i more. And it was his own father who, because he was busy, summoned a fi lends to an operating room upon him. surgeons were operating upon him. and for an hour while the surgeons worked, without an anaesthetic, talked politics and then feared his friend, not himself, had suffered. There came an incident, typical of the history of this family. One day the elder Lindbergh fell across a saw. He right arm was all but severed. It was 60 miles to the home of the nearest doctor. Neighbors, notably tlie Rev. C. S. Harrison of York. Neb., who told of the incident, gave him what care they could. It was three days before the doctor arrived. The arm was amputated and a few months later, the Rev. Harrison records that tlie elder Lindbergh was back hewing away at the forests, swinging an axe with his left arm —not to be defeated in his purpose. As to Lindbergh’s father, much is written in contemporary history. He spent his boyhood attending common schools and gave much time to hunting, fishing and life in the open. In 1881 he entered Grove Lake Academy, Minn., and in 1887 he was graduated from the University of Michigan and , began the practice of law. He rode into congress in 1906 in the crest of the wave of trust-busting. He threw himself into the fight to unseat "Uncle Joe" Cannon from the speakership and for the next 10 years was known as an insurgent and a Progressive in congress. In 1916 he was defeated for re-election and two years later he joined the Non-Partisan

| league movement in Minnesota, be-1 coming its candidate for governor. Ife lost by a narrow margin, I In 1923 ho sought the governorship again. This time Charles had learn- , ed to fly and he carried his father | from town to town by airplane ns the .campaign became spirited. | Again Lindbergh was defeated. In 1924 Congressman Lindbergh died | from a long standing malady and Charlie seatiered ills father’s ashes | from an ay piane, over tin 1 farm where his boyhood had been spent.
