Of going somewhere else, I could not

less there is something to tempt it,"
Evelyn Carter found, at the end of
the first year, that her poultry out

ing the demand Of the local market.
So she made arrangement with the
best hotels in Los Palomares, the
nearest city. to supply them with
fancy dressed chickens and fresh eggs.
She packed her eggs in neat cases,
sealed and stamped. In this way she
was able to command the best prices,
and to guarantee their freshness. In
that she leased all the available land
in the vicinity of the cottage, and
hired some young Mexicans to help
her.
One bright morning in February,
Mr.. Black came over by invitation to
look around the "Carter gardens as
they were known in the village.
Though the far-distant peak Of ''Old
Baby was snow-capped, the oranges
hung in golden clusters on the trees,
and the mesas were gorgeous with
wild flowers.
'It astonishes me, Miss Carter, to
see how everything aourishes,' were
Mr. Blacks first words. maybe those
bright smiles of yours hasten the
growth of vegetation, but really, I am
happily disappointed, I must confess"

are responsible for the rapid growth
of everything on the place, but if that
is true, it will be so much easier for

CHANGE OF NAME.

General w. D Washburn, president
of the Bismarck, Washburn & Fort
Buford railway company, has filed with
Secretary Of State Falley notice Of the
change Of the name of the road to the
Bismarck, Washburn & Great Falls
railway. Private advices indicate
that it is the intention Of General
Washburn to make his railroad pro-
ject more extensive than at first pro-
posed and build the line ultimately
from Bismarck, along the Missouri
river and through the Judith Basin to
Great Falls, Mont. This would mean
a road along the Missouri river for an
extended distance, tapping a section Of
fertile country, and some of the great
cattle ranges of the west. General
Washburn has also decided to follow
the line Of the old Bismarck, Aberdeen
& Missouri valley survey from Bis
marck to Aberdeen If the 500 road fails
to extend to Bismarck this year. This
would give the Missouri slope a COM
peting line to the Twin cities, and
shorter than any other line than Mt
present, for at Aberdeen the road could
connect with any n Of a number of
lines entering the Twin cities. The
main object Of General Washburn is to
secure an independent line over which
ale cOalfrom the fields on his lands
can be shipped to the Twin cities, he
believing that the coal industry is
destined ultimately to become one Of
the most valuable in the state.
General Washburn's interest in lands
along the Missouri slope is certain to
prove of greater benefit to the slope
than is at present thought by many.
He is an energetic railroad builder and
has done much in this line for Mime
apolis and the tributary roads which
he has been instrumental in BUILDING
having opened up much new country

And propose.
When lie said: "How I'd love to shield

Kind lady, I beg you will accept my

Again soon he spoke and l felt Il glad
AS l heard,
My heart tllrobbed with hope as l stood
there quite still,
Never stirred,
When he said: lady fair, l am sure
You must know
How l love-tO see moonlight's soft
glare on the snow"
He pressed my hand gently and looked
with delight
In my eyes.
l thought then twas coming--imag-
inc my slight
And surprise,
When he looked long and loving, kissed
me, and said then:
"Oh could 1 but "Wednesday see YOU
again."
Oh dear! Twas provoking but what
could l do,
Not Il thing.
He spoke once again and his voice had
a true,
Loving ring.
AS he said with his sparkling eyes
flashing and bright:
"Wili you be my-guest ut supper

A KNIGHTLY ANCESTOR,

My dear friend, Mrs. c.
Given to dreams of ancestry,
Much amused me always when she he,
ancestral tales r%ellearsel,
When with pride SHE would refer
10 the time her ancestor
Was 'fbenighted" in the reign of Ed.
ward First.
With %eloquence she'd tell
How bravely he fought and well
His sphere was always ready and his
''armory' so bright.
And when Edward, king, would call
For his liege lords, one and all,
He would ''buckle on his coat of arms
and fight!
No wonder he was dear,
For he was q ''chanticleer,"
Like Bayard, sine insisted, without fea1
in any fight,
Edward dubbed him knight" she'd
read,
But she told it thus instead:
Edward called him then a dub and
made him knight!w
REASONABLE SUSPICIOUS.
He would read tn evenin' paper of TIN
vast prosperity
That had overwhelmed tn country
from TIL ocean to til sea,
OF the firms a raisin' wages, labor ev-
erywhere employed,
Of tn comforts and the happiness by
everyone enjoyed.
Then he'd cross his legs, uncross 'em,
throw TIN evenin' paper down,
Whom 1)o hn1 wool cho1~o hi, - la-1
look DER his specs an frown,
Remove his pipe, his mouth to wipe,
spit, and in cracked tones say:
"I1ooks too blame good! Pm leetle
feared some devilty's to payw
He'd gaze out at the cloudless skies of
perfect, unlocked blue,
An listen to tn chatter Of tn birds
sw1f' flynn through
Th' summer air and watch th' rustlin'
trees wave to and fro,
Anon he looks down where the brooks
waves murmur as they flow.
The air was warm, no cloud or storm,
the glad earth only smiled,
Perfection a I the summer air to
fragrance sweet beguiled,
But he'd remove his pipe to wipe. his
mouth an slowly say:
"LoOks too blame good! Pm leetle
feared some deviltry's to pay!!'
Some times he'd go a visitin' with
daughter Or with son,
1t didn't make no difference to him
about which one,
Tn family would be happy, love q
reignin' everywhere,
TIL home be neat, tn children sweet,
TIL cookin' more'n fair.
They'd try to make tn Of man jes' as
happy as could be,
But didn't make no difference-wheu
he come home, to me
A takin' out his pipe to wipe his mouth,
he'd sithe an say:
