Gus residences supplant the log hut;
Trees grace the once open prairie
and fortune has smiled upon Union
county with such prodigality that I
wonder there can be q croaker in
the land.
"Thereis an old fellow going by"
said the colonel, az he pointed 10 q
well-to-do farmer who was driving
by behind a fine team Of drivers,
and seated in an expensive carriage,
"who came here with an OK team,
not over $40 in his pocket and as
poor as a church mouse. Look at
him now. He is worth easily S20.-
900. Talk about hard times boys.
You only have to recall those
days Of '69, 70 ard.'71 and compare
your circumstances now and them"
"Croaking is Lucrative profession
just now. 1t is the path to Office
for some. Kicking, back-capping,
calamity bowling, grudging and
curbstone philosophy are the worms
which are playing havoc with our
alimentary canal. Some gingle the
dollars in their pocket and immedi-
ately begin to kick because they
haven't more"
Juet then the train whistled and
the colonel walked to the depot re.
volving in his own mind a new
maxim which read, "The worst
kicker is he who doesn't know what
he's kicking at."

MANY YEARS AGO.


On Friday Col. B. f. Cambbell,
now postmaster at Sioux Falls and
to the southern part of the state one
Of it's oldest and most respected citi-
sons, was in the city, and while
waiting for the train sat cooked
upon a dry goods box in the pre-
sence of Q number Of friends. The
colonel was evidently in a remini-
scent mood, for he was telling Of the
days when OK teams were numer-
Gus, and when the farmers threshed
their wheat in Union county with a
fail and then carted it to Sioux
City, where only 81 cents was paid
per bushel for the staff of life.
"Those were pioneer days" said
the colonel during his reminiscent
talk. 1.-THE people were not as
paticular then as now. Coffee, SOW
belly and corn cake was q meal APP
preciated by the wealthiest in the
community. Organs and pianos
were unheard of in this wilderness
except after many days Of travel

furnished music enough for all to
dance by, while sunbonnets and

with parlor regalia in the summer
season. Yes, l came to Dakota in

In the whit. of 1901 Ereat costume
festival was held in Munich. Among the
many beautiful wo' Zen present was a
Greek girl, dressed in classic costume OF
extreme simplicity her only jewels be-
ing a string of pearls aoout tie neck.
A Boston artist, then a student at the
Royal art academy, who was present.
was impressed with the classic charm
of this young virgin beauty, made
sketches and potes, and at once set to
work to paint the picture, but in vain !;

ize the conception, and the canvas ives
laid aside Two years age, as tie artist,
was returning from a summer trip il

New York. When introduced to the
consuls family, gil nee at the daugh-

look at the mother. and, indeed, it was

A momnn.s uotslIn Chicago.

In Chicago there is womans hotel
that so far is success. The great expo
sition overshadows everything else. and
lady visitors who come sightseeing and
have no responsibility Of getting up the
show accept things as they find them,
The wolnan's hotel is called the Woman's
Domnitory, but is no Sleepy Hollow in
spite OF its name. There are very wide
awake wolUeu here. IL is II temporary
structure of two stories, with three sto-
ries in the center, and occupies an entire
block in length and about quarter of a
block in width. The Chicago blocks are
an eighth Of mile long, and we soon ac-
complish a mile walking about the house.
1t is built of plain white boards. Day
light comes through the cracks, and
when it rains the rain beats in. There
can DO five fires in the five fireplaces. AS
the face gets hot the back gets cold, and
if the circle is 90 or 30 the fraction of
heat is small for each person such cold
days as we had in May.
The pine boards of the house ooze out
with the tar balsam, and that has no
doubt cured many of influenza and
coughs. The doctors carriage does not
drive up though. We are 700 or 900
women, but each one is natural nurse,
and there are some who have the title Of
NJ ID, to their names. There are no mod
ern improvements in the house. There
is cold water, but not hot, except at GER
tain hours, from two gas stoves, where
the supply is limited. The gas is in the
halls and candles in the rooms. The
rooms are furnished with bed, mattress
and bedding, table, chair, washbowl and
pitcher, mirror, some hooks to hang up
apparel, and in the double rooms there
are two single beds. The sanctum sane
torum of ones little room is somewhat
disturbed because the cracks in the pine
boards at the top, over and under the
doors admit all neighboring sounds, and
in any household of 1000 guests there is
a wonderful amount of talking. May

The Grand Canon of Colorado.

The Great Granite Gorge Is about
forty miles in length. That portion from
Its head to the Bright Angel Creek, some
fifteen miles is narrow, dark and gloomy.
1t stands at the upper gateway OF the
great canon as if by its very frown to
keep back the intruder, and guard from
vulgar eyes and sordid greed the gran
deur, the beauty, and hidden treasure of
the lower canon. At the Bright Angel
Creek everything changes-the granite
slopes are fatter, they are of a softer
black granite. cut into sharp pinnacles
and crags, and seem more as If formed
OF very coarsely stratified slate
The canon grows more and more
picturesque and beautiful the farther we
proceed. The granite has lost its awful
and threatening look, and slopes back in
beautiful hillsides of variegated black,
gray and green.
At the side canons and from the bends
of the river, the upper portions of the
whole gorge are brought into view,
showing the great marble and sandstone
cliffs, benched back far away from the
river, while mountains jut in close be-
tween the side canons and washes nearly
a mile in height. As we look down the
river, or up low side canon, with the
placid water between it's polished walls
of black. and gray, and green, for fore
ground, there rise above the dark sand
stone tier upon tier, bench upon bench,
terrace upon terrace, and higher, and in
immensely of height and proportion
seeming to tower almost over our heads.
First above the dark sandstone come
the flattened slopes of the lime and
mineralized matter, in horizontal layers
OF yellow, brown, white, red and green.
Then rise sheer walls of stained marble
one thousand feet or more, the lower
portions yellow, brown and red. the
coloring Of red growing brighter as it
nears the top. Above this smaller
benches of marble, at the top of each a
little mesa covered with green bunch
grass and bushes, and above these a
dozen or more terraces of scarlet and
iame-colored sandstone, stained on
their outer points with black, and the
little benches between them relieved by
the bright green of the greasewood and
bunch grass, the whole crowned with
perhaps a couple of thousand feet OF tae
lighter gray, yellow and white sand
stone lodges, capped by pinnacles and
spires, turrets and domes, in every
imaginable shape, size and proportion
