Why is it that good women are so lacking

who we're interested in me for my mothers

but he knew there were hungry ones at home
awaiting his return. As the wolf came near
he hit him square upon the head with a stone,
when, with an angry "yelp," the wolf sprang
into the thicket, and set up a long and dismal
howl. The boy listened to hear if there were
any answering howls, and hearing none, took
courage but soon the savage beast, madden
ed with hunger, came at him again With bis
club he gave him a well directed blow between
the eyes, which sent him bowling back again
into the thicket Again and again was the
contest renewed many times did the savage
yet cowardly animal make aspiring at the lad,
and many times did the brave boy beat him

What 1t is to be a Widow.

" | think it must be jolly thing to be a
young widow !" | heard this remark the
other day, in a group Of laughing girls. |
think | remember saying such thing my
self in my girish times. Do you know,
girls, what it is to be a widow ? 1t is to be
ten times more open to comment and criti-
cism than any other lady could possibly be-
1t is to have men gaze as you pass, first at
your black dress and then at your widows
cap, until your sensitive nerves quiver under
the infection 1t is to have one i'll natured
person say, wonder how long she will
wait before she marries again ~ and another
answer, " until she gets a good chance, | sup.
pose" 1t is now and then to meet the glance
of real sympathy, generally from the poorest
and humblest woman that you meet, and feel
your eyes fill at the token, so rare that it is,
alas unlocked for. 1t is to have your dear
fashionable friends console you DER the fol.
lowing fashion: "Oh, well it is dreadful
loss. We knew you'd feel it, dear" And
in the next breath, " You will be sure to
marry again, and your widows cap is very
becoming to you"
But it is more than this to be a widow. 1t
is to miss the strong arm you have leaned
upon, the true faith that you knew could
never fail you, though all the world might
forsake you. Itis to miss the dear voice
that uttered your name with a tenderness
that none other could give it. 1t is to hear
no more the well.known footsteps that you
flew so gladly once to meet, To see no more
the face that to your adoring eyes seemed as
the face of the angels of God. To feel no
more the twining arms that folded you so
lovingly the dear eyes that, looking into
your own, said plainly, whatever it might
seem to others, yours was the fairest face
earth held for him. 1t is to fight with
mighty sorrow as man fights with the waves
that overwhelm him, and to hold 1t at arm
length for a while only to have-in the hours
Of loneliness and weakness-the torrent roll
over you, while poor, storm-driyen dove
YOU see ne haven. -.Ne,o York Home Jour-

From the 81. Paul Press
The New Territory Of 0iibway.

The parallel Of forty-siX degrees which is
to form the Southern boundary of the new
Territory to be set of in the Northern part
of Dakota, if the bill introduced by Senator
Ramsey to that end shall pass, divides the
present territory Of Dakota into two nearly
equal parts intersecting the Western bound
airy Of Minnesota some eighteen miles South
Of Breckenridge, and crossing the Missouri
about thirty mile. South OF Fort Rice. The
Red River forms its Eastern boundary the
parallel Of forty-nine degrees divides it from
the British territory on the North, while
Montana forms its Western boundary These
boundaries incose, above the parallel of forty
six degrees, an area for the new territory Of
OJbway, Of about $4,000 square miles, leav-
ing to Dakota about $4,000 square miles, or
nearly as great an area as that Of Minnesota.
These nearly equal divisions Of the pres
ent vast extent OF Dakota will make two
States Of the very largest class. There can
be no objections to the proposed division, nor
do we suppose that it will meet with any op-
position. The present population Of Dakota,
about ID 900, is concentrated chiefly in the
southern part Of the Territory, on the banks
X
its present capital, Yaukton, being at the
mouth Of the James River Except this
southern fringe of settlement the Territory
is almost destitute Of white population, until
its northeastern border is reached, where the
Territory Of Pembina has a population Of
1913 souls, by the L. s. census. This, and q
few hundred settlers who have recently gone
in advance of the Northern Pacific Railroad
to the Red River valley, on the west side oil
the river, and a few attaches of trading post'
and forts on the Missouri, form the whole
present population Of the proposed Territory
Of Ojbway, saving and excepting, of course
the Sioux Indians who have their habitation,
in that section, in what numbers We have nc
information at hand.
The new territory contains a large area o.
fertile and well watered lands, especially
along the Red River and its tributaries aud
the Missouri aud its tributaries. But the
most important advantage that the new ter
ritory will possess consists in the fact that il
will be crossed midway by the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad, which will build up settlement,
and towns rapidly along its route, and doubt
less furnish among them at some central loca.
ton the site Of the future capital Of Ojibway
From this GENITAL backbone, population aud
agricultural development will be diiiused tc
the borders of the territory, instead of, a,
usual, spreading from the borders to the in
terror.
The fact that the speedy development oil
tho country along the line of the Northern
Pacific would soon transfer the preponderancC
of political power to Northern Dakota, /,
doubtless the consideration which prompt,
the cordial aequiescence of the Southern
Dakotians in the new Territory, which more.
