ment with what she has seen OF the east,
her surroundings not coming up to the
STANDARD she had pictured, and by the
way OF comparison she says the people
OF South Dakota do not half appreciate
their homes and general prosperity.

with whom they associate the sod house,
the wild Indian and the buffalo, and ap-
pear somewhat surprised that she is not
clad in the regulation blanket. Miss
