THE LITTLE THINGS

The little things are those that make
us great,
The little good we do, the seed we SOW
That springs to life and flowers ere we

The stricken heart that beats discon-
ISOLATE,
The little word, the smile, may ssooothe
and cheer,
So little kindness serves to dry aatear,
So little of thine effort ease the weight
OF woe that burdens Sorrows bent
back down,
So light needs be the touch that
smooths the froWn.
And as the little beacon light that safe
Within the lighthouse, pickering in
the gloom.
Saves the spent, struggling ship from
reef and doom,
So may thy little light, shed not too

Warn some spent soul from raging
rock and reef,
Away from foaming breakers OF its
grief,

And thou art great.

breadth of North Dakota and South
Dakota, and used economically by all
manufacturing plants and the locomo-
tiyes Of the various railroads-com-
pete and drive out of use all other
coals-Who can estimate the amount
of business this Washburn road will
dog
The building OF this line has done
more already for the city of Bismarck
in the way of settling up the country
tributary to the capital city than any
and all other influences combined have
done in fifteen years. Throughout the.
length and breadth Of the country the
people are studying the maps and the
finger of destiny points to thousands
OF happy homes where now there's
naught but bleak prairies in the great
region north of Bismarck. The build
ing of the Washburn road e the.
extended use of Ignite coal and warm
and comfortable homes south and east
Of us where now the fuel question is
a problem and where in some in
stances as in the region north and west
of Aberdeen the settlers are burning
straw and hay for fuel. 1t means the
greatest incentive to the establishing
of manufacturing plants that can be
imagined. It means the employment
of thousands of miners and the ex-i
tension OF mercantile trade. Nowhere
in the worlu can such good land be
purchased at such low price. No
where else in the domain covered by
tie land laws of the United States can
such fertile lands be obtained free by
the settler. The opportunities nov
offered on the Missouri slope do not
come5often-they will never come again
in the lifetime of this or any other
generation. The cheap ariable lands
of the United States are rapidly disap-
pearing. Only six years ago the lands
of the Red River valley were selling
SIOWly dtS YISE pie Gil dSiC. LdSS
week land a mile from Casselton sold
for S3T. 80 an acre and a tract south
Of that point sold for $50 spot cash,
and that land is worth the price paid
for it. Texas land is being sold
for 3 an acre for grazing purposes
alone and an acre of broken land any
where in western North Dakota is
worth three times a $ much as Texas
lands for grazing purposes. The
people of Bismarck and the Missouri
slope do not fully realize the import
ance of the present conditions and the
necessity of prompt and vigilant ac-
lion. History is being made mighty
fast and now is the time to lay the
foundations sure n solid for the
Capital city and its environments.

The supreme court Of the United
States has reversed the opinion of the
supreme court of North Dakota in the
case Of the jamestown & Northern
railroad VS.. Jones. The question at
issue was whether the company's right
attached to land after the construc-
ton of the road across it, but prior to
the filing of a map Of definite location
as against the right of settlers who
claimed the land under the pre-emp-
ton law. The state court ruled in.
favor Of the settler, but the supreme
court holds in favor of the company
and has remanded the case for further
proceedings.

IN THE WORLD OF NATURE.
The plan Of the world is Natures plan,
But the way of the world is the way Of
Man.
And the seed of sin is the seed Of Man.
And this is the way since Time began.
For many the gifts that Nature
showed
TO him, and none that was not good.
Breathed in the clay and babe it rise
And gave it earths and seas and skies.
Thrilled Man with life and gave him
light
And Showed him the way-and this
was Right.
Gave him the earth and the germ and
And opened the book and let him
read.
Spake to his soul in the solitude
And taught him love and brotherhood.
Gave him an armor, where no flaws,
The shield Of the soul, and made him
laws.
Set him in the field and babe him SOW
And fashioned him seasons to come
and go.
Smiled and promised him endless day
And babe him only this: .0bey!
Not flaw or fault in all her plans
But fault is here, and fault is Mans.
For the laws she laid and the plans
she made
He heard, and straightway %disobeyed.
Her laws he scorned and her voice he
spurned,
And bitter the lesson then he learned.
Learned he grief and woe and pain
And knelt and prayed to her again.
Prayed that she might take away
His sins, and let him but obey.
But the seed he sowed when he dis
obeyed
Sped on and on by the plans she made.
For only Earth's to bring and breed
The fruit, whatever be the seed.
The plan Of the world was Natures
plan,
But the way of the world is the way
of Man.

II an American wants to go abroad
on a cash capital of $500, there is no
law to prevent, even if he is a news
paper a who has saved and econo
mized for six or seven years to get that
much wealth together. When l started
IL with my friend Gillian, who was
an artist instead of a Journalist, and
had $50 less capital as well, we tool
steerage passage on a steamer and
planned to do Europe on foot and avoid
all eNtravagances. AS to how we got
along until we struck Greece and a
certain event happened is of no great
consequence. We tramped here and
there, ate, slept and had a fairly good
time.
From Athens we wen on q tramp up
the country. viewing tombs and ruins
by the way, and after putting in two
morning for a hamlet called Histro-
plus. We were, first met by about a
dozen dogs of all sizes, ages and colors,
and each n a worse looking dog than
the one who came after. After we had
dubbed the pack off we were charged
down upon by nine children Of various
sizes and ages, all of whom needed
soap and water. They rallied around
us for small coin, and not getting any
they fell back and gave four women a
chance. We got rid of the latter to
encounter three men, one of whom
could speak a little English. They
were dirty, ragged villains, who did not
hesitate to threaten us, and not a word
could we get out of them about the
ruins until we had come down with
~backsheesh. Gillian started out after
a bit to do some sketching, while l
found a place to take a nap, and the
inhabitants Of Histrophus finally got
out Of breath begging for coins and
trying to get us to buy a skeleton old
goat for 81 and went back to their flea
infested huts.
At the end Of two hours / was awak-

member. He acted and the result was
much to his liking for he ate his plate
full, all the time telling his friends
what they we're missing. Hardly any
of the foreigners understand what the
popcorn is. The kitchen is kept stock
ed with the raw material by American
manufacturers of corn products.
The Importance of the kitchen was
not realized until so late that it had to
be given this comparatively out-of-thes
way place where but few of the thous.
ands of people who come to the fair
ever find it. The propaganda which
has charge of the demonstration is
headed by Col. Clark E. Carr OF Ga,es-
burg, Ill, who has been working TO
popularize corn among European ma
tions ever since he was minister to
Denmark some years ago When the
fair was announced he took up the idea
anew and the kitchen was evolved.
Now an average of 300 foreigners are
fed every day and the Colonel expects
more as the pews spreads. The Unit
ed States raises every year two billion
bushels of corr and exports only ten
per cent or two million bushels. while
of the wheat crop 80 per cent is sent
abroad. Thus if the foreign demand
can be increased so that the price of
corn will be raised but one cent a BUSH
ell, it would mean $40, 600, 600 "a year
more to the farmers of Iowa, Illinois.
and other corr states. On the day of
the formal opening. May II, Compis-
sioner General Peck brought this point
out strongly in his address saying that
it was easy to see how In agency which
would tend to teach the world the food
value of the greatest product of the
United States might prove the most
important part the nation took in this
exhibition. AS he concluded, he said:
"The United States corn kitchen at
Paris is now formally opened where all
the peoples of the earth can come and
partake of the greatest American food,
cooked in. an American fashion. served
in an American way and on a liberal
American basis where without let or
hinarance the world can feast in a
foreign land protected by the Ameri-
can flag" Col. Carr is his presenta-
ton remarks said that in placing corn
before the representatives of all lands
they we're doing to these people a
greater service than to themselves.
He believed that Indian corr or maize
had contributed toward Giving Ameri-
cans that vigor of mind and body for
which they we're celebrated. Gen.
Horace Porter, ambassador to France,
spoke from his own experience in the
Civil War when the army of the Cum
berland. besieged in Chattanooga, had
found corn a food for man and horse
which not only gave strength but pre-
vented scurvy as we'll. He said he
felt like doing as the Indians ard or
ganizing a dance in gratitude for corn.
The missionary work done this sum-
mer will return benefits in years to
come in many fold.

State OF Guerrero. and Americans
are pouring into that region in
search Of properties OF lands

The big ocean liners will not
make reduced rates on account Of
the Paris exposition, as they claim
they will have all the traffic they
can handle, without any reduction.
No doubt they will, but such a
decision will prevent many persons
of moderate means from seeing
the exposition, who would most
probably have gone had the usual
low excursion rates been offered.
