Do you Know 2
Abraham Lincoln

When leaving his home at Springfield, ILL.,.
TO be inaugurated president of the United
States, made farewell address to his old
friends and neighbors, in which he said,
''NEIGHBoRs GIVE YOUR BOYS CHANCE"
These words come with as much force
to-day as they did thirty years ago.
How give them this chance?
Up in the Northwest is great empire
waiting for young, and sturdy fellows to
come and develop it and grow up with
the country" All over this broad land
are the young fellows, the boys that Lin
coin referred to, seeking to better their con-
dition and get on in life.
Here is their chance.
The country referred to lies along the
Northern Pacific X. X. Here you can find
pretty much anything YOU want. In Min
nesota, and i'm the Red River Valley OF
North Dakota, the finest of prairie lands
fitted for wheat and grain, or as well for
diversified farming. In Western North
Dakota and Montana, are stock ranges
limitless in extent, clothed with the most
nutritious OF grasses.
Ii fruit farming region is wanted there
is the whole state of Washington to select
from.
AS for scenic delights the Northern Pa
cific Railroad passes through a country
unparalleled. In crossing the Rocky, Bit
ter Root. and Cascade Mountains, the
greatest mountain scenery to be seen in the
United States from car windows is found.
The wonderful bad lands. wonderful in
graceful form and glowing color, are q
poem. Lakes Pend d'Oreille and Occur
dAlene, are alone worthy OF trans-conti-
mental trip, while they are the fisherman's
Ultima Thule. The ride along Clark's
Fork of the Columbia River is a daylight
dream. To cap the climax this is the only
way to reach the far famed Yellowstone
Park.
To reach and see all this the Northern
Pacific Railroad furnishes trains and serv-
ice of unsurpassed excellence. The most
approved and comfortable Palace Sleeping
cars the best Dining cars that can be
made; Pullman Tourist cars good for both
first and second class passengers; easy
riding day coaches, with Baggage, Ex-
press, and Postal cars all drawn by power
ful Baldwin Locomotives, make a train fit
for royalty itself.
Those seeking for new homes should take
this train and go and spy out the land.
To be prepared, write to

ruined again if the water reaches the
mark predicted by the weather bureau.

Call Of the Levy Court Commissioners.

/ full of this idea that he forgot to take a
pitchfork or anything In with him.
The Levy Court commissioner made a
grab for the ring and missed. The bull
saw its opportunity and charged in such
a way as to throw Mr.. Armstrong on his
face about five feet away. From that
time out the bull had It all his own way.
Mr.. Armstrong saw that IL was useless
to make fight and he began to dodge
and cry for help.

ing near by, heard his cries and rushed
to the rescue, but not before the bull had
driven its horn into Mr.. Armstrong; leg.

him Of his clothing.

its corner, where II was secured. Mr.
Armstrong was helped to the house and
