one or two others set out along the
banks of Yellow Creek to find a spot
where grain would grow and food spring
from the soil. They realized they had
violated one of the fundamental prin-
ciples of their doctrine in trying social
ism without having tillable soil. They
walked and rode through the forest and
finally came upon an Eden. They had
not passed settler on the way, anG
suddenly came to the brow of a cliff
which looked for miles down a valley,
where the foliage of the great trees
was waxen and rank and the soil rich
black from the washing of the forests.
There was running brook, clear as a

and three miles beyond was the spire

CHANGE TO NEW RUSKIN.
1t took a long time to conclude the
+,
but they were finally concluded and a
year ago old Ruskin was a deserted and
crumbling cluster Of huts, and new
Ruskin sprang up in a night. This
change happened after planting time,
but the consecrated colonists turned in
and made the best of the loss of the
first crop. They forced the bottom
lands, and the first report of the super
intendent of farming reads like an in
voice from wholesale commission
house. 1t includes all manner Of things
that grow for eating. They started
fruit trees, prepared a hillside for a
vineyard, worked overtime for them
selves without extra pay, and before
winter set in had forty cottages ready
for the stockholders, and the town start
ed with a rush.
1t has grown like a gourd since this
spring. The association has completed
it's cooperative boarding house-three
stories. It has the printing establish
ment on the ground floor, the dining
room on the second, and a theater on
the top. The sawmill works most of
the time. The grist mill gets trade for
as far around as the natives can ride
in two days. One building has the
school, including an industrial depart
ment, where the children are taught the
useful arts. The grove is the school,
house for the kindergarten. The gen.
eral store and postofice fill a long
structure. The community worked it's
rest hours to build a home for the COM
munity machine laundry plant There
are other industries growing and pros
pering, until the applications for mem
bership exceed the admissions ten to
one. This is Utopian Ruskin as it
stands.

Splendid Reasoning.
(Yankton, S. D., Press.)


The Record and Republican, Casta-

that this is an indication of hard times
growing harder, but such we do not be-
lieve to be the proper inference. We
look upon it as a sign of the dawn of

that the property is worth foreclosing
upon in view of the promising future.
Heretofore for years they have avoided
foreclosure, If possible, not deeming the
security worth the loan. South Dakota

But made trail all bent askew, 4
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have fed,
And, infer, the calf's dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my mortal tale.
The trail was taken up next day,
By lone dog that passed that way.
And then a wise bell-weather sheep,
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep.
And drew the flock behind him, too,
AS good bell-weathers always do.
And from that day, DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods a path was
made,
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath,
Because twas such a crooked path,
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first migrations of that calf,
And through this winding wood-way
stalked,
Because he wabbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane,
That bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many poor horse, with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in one.
And thus century and half,
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness feet,
The road became village street,
And this, before the men were ware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare,
And soon the central street was this,
Of a renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and half.
Trod In the footsteps of that calf.
Each day hundred thousand rout,
Followed the zigzag calf about:
And o'er this crooked journey went,
The traffic of a continent. ...... IL.
A hundred thousand men were led,
By one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years a day.
For thus such reverence is lent,
To we'll established precedent.
A moral lesson this must teach,
Were l ordained and called to preach.
For men are prone to go 1t blind,
Along the calf-paths of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun,
To do what other men have done.
They followed in the beaten track,
And out and in, and forth and back,
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that others do.
But how the wise old wood-gods laugh,
Who saw that first primeval calf!
And many things this tale might teach
But l am not ordained to preach.
