pursuits for a number Of years, our
efforts should be directed hereafter
more to the improvement of our land.

prosperity on the improvement of it's

In $50 acres of good farm lands for
agricultural purposes, and, again,
there is a fortune in the rise in value
OF Dakota land. Raw prairie in east
ern Nebraska doubled in value in a
single season, and it will do so here.
"A few hundred dollars improvement
on farm is worth more than the
same amount invested in almost any
mercantile trade, and tbs surer than
a gold mine. Let us then direct our
efforts to the true development of
Dakota, and in a few years we will
enjoy living in the most prosperous
state of the Union.

A Judge on % Treadmili.


The fact has been solemnly telegraphed to
on the treadmill-eXperimentally, Of
course-and the incident has been made
the subject OF several editorial comments
and not few ponderOus jokes. Mr.. JUS
tice Day was the superintendent. but the
reporters do not say how his lord>hip liked
the task OF going upstairs ard never get
ting 10 the top. 1t is to be hoped his eX-
perience was not so bad rs that Of one
of the English Judges few years ago, of
whom the following ludicrous story is told:
His lordship. while visiting model show
prison in the provinces. noticed a tread
mill, and his curiosity being excited, he
determined to try the labor to which in his
time he had sentenced so many prisoners.
He was not to be persuaded ont OF the
notion, and stepping on to the machine.
told a warder to set il going. The man
did so, and after about one and a half
minutes experience his lordship's curiosity
was quite satisfied, and he ordered the mill
to be stopped. But it turned out that al
though the mill was set to do the shortest
possible spell, it could not be stopped until
that time was finished; so the Judge had
to 20 on grinding until twenty minutes
had expired. His lordship afterwards re-
marked that there was only one man in the
world he would like to sentence again to
hard labor on the trcad-mill. Need say that
that one individual was the stupid warder
who had neglected to explain the "spell "
principle before his lordship took his
- turn?
