Nurseries of HeroisIn.

From the New York World.
It has been pointed out as an explain
alton of Funstons remarkable personal
courage that he is of Nirginian ances-
try and grew UP" in Missouri and
Kansas. The suggestion is a recognl-
ton of the fact that extraordinary dar-
ing is characteristic of the men of those
three states particularly and of the
South and West generally, just as 1t is
of Scotch HighlanderS and Irishmen. 1t
is SO, of course and the reason of 1t is
that in the regions named physical
courage has been for generations nee
essary equipment for genuine manhood.
and as such has been cherished and
honored by public opinion. 1t is in ku-
man nature to cultivate especially those
virtues that are most highly regarded
by the community in which one lives,
and they are usually those virtues that
best minister to the welfare of that
community by reason of their sIpta-
ton to it's circumstances and needs.
In a highly developed commercial
community there is not less Of cOura Sc
than in regions where physical proves
is especially valued, but it is directed
to different ends and assumes different
forms. The merchant or barker who
preserves his integrity at cost of his
fortune, and pays his debts frCm a
sense of honor, even when the law af-
fords means of escape, is every whit
as brave as the hero who stands by his
guns in desperate conflict or sWims riv-
ers to attack an entrenched foe. AL
ways and everywhere the true point of
honor" is a readiness to do ones duty.
whatever it may be, in courage 0us dis
regard of personal consequences. The
heroes are not all soldiers by any
means They exist in every walk Of
life and every region breeds them.

Miles City had a backward spring,
and the water did a great deal of dam
age to all in the section who have ir-
rigating bitches. These were washed
out and the settlers were put to great
expense to repair them. The loss will
run from $100 to $1,000 to each ranch,
and as consequence trade in the city
has been somewhat depressed. The
roads, too, have been very bad all the
