II came across a colored man who
spoke with a German accent the 9TH
er day." said a prominent stockbroker.

from the city hall for lunch, and the
waiter who took my order, although
Enthusiastically a colored man, spoke as
though he had just come from some
Pennsylvania Dutch settlement up the
state. The thing was so pronounced
and found that my suspicious were
correct. The man was a full blooded
negro, but he had been born and rails
ed in a small town near Reading and
had always associated with the whites
who spoke Pennsylvania Dutch. Queer,
Isn't it,"
"Oh, I don't know" said one of the
party whose business takes him
through the west. "a short time ago
l came across a German who spoke
English with a decided Irish brogue.
He was an educated young fellow, a
graduate of n German university, and
be was very anxious to learn English.
He drifted out to Chicago and from
there to a lumber camp up in Wiscon-
sin. Here, he thought, would be an
excellent chance to learn the language.
But all the men in the camp were
Irishmen. OF course the young Ger
man didn't know that, and he fell
readily into their mode of speech. AT
the end of a year he returned to Chi
cago, very proud of having mastered
our tongue, and was greatly surpris-
ed to discover that he had a brogue.
That was several years ago, but he has
never lost it. 1t clings to him as close
ly as though he had been born in Coun-
ty Antrim."-Philadelphia Record.

soil is fertile, and there is a benei-
cent supply of running water for all
purposes. Near the kitchen is a fine
large garden, filled with plenty Of
everything needed for the table.
The Park schoolhouse stands quite
near this ranch, and from the front
porch may be had splendid view of
the whole valley for miles below.
The Big Seven and C~ornucopia
mines of Snow creek are in full
sight of the Thomas ranch.
Mrs. G. A. Allen has lately leased
a ranch claim adjoining Thomas on
the west. 1t is a beautiful site, with
plenty Of good arabic land, and with
improvement it will become a valua-
bic homestead.

this ranch, and finds the soil yielding
IN grateful response to his efforts.
He has stacked about rs tons of fine
hay, timothy and barley, and is to-
day engaged in hauling the same to
the Neihart market. Excellent
springs Of the best water this side of
Eden rise near his door, and his gar
den is the pride of the district. He
is producing corn for table use, and
is experimenting with some of the
harder varieties of cherries, plums
and apples. His stand of small fruit
is an unquestlonable success.
Sam Besson and Joe Thibault, les
sees of the j. l.. Walker ranch, are
industriously plying the vocation in
practical ways, and improving the
place in a marked degree. Haying
and potato culture engross their at

of success ahead of their first years

Across the Tillinghast, to the
westward, situated in favored local..

THE RANCHERS
OF BELT PARK.

A trip through Belt park at this
delightful season affords a most re-
freshing sight. Upon every hand is
to be seen the sturdy march of en-
terprise, and on the faces of the for
tunate ranchers are unmistakable
evidences of contentment and pros
perity. The voice of the mower con-
tinues to break the stiffness, and ev-
orywhere haying is still in progress,
Hay from hat district is now selling
at Sl4 a ton and prospects are good
for it's going to &25 before the win.
ter is over.
Fred Danielson has up about rs
tons of hay. He has a nice bunch Of
cattle, enough for a new rancher to
call a start, and is in a fair way to
build a competence. He likes the
new occupation, and is happy to
make 1t his llfe's calling.
Robert Lamb and Alex. Yule, ir.,
are succeeding well with their ranch
venture. They are operating the
old Nule homestead, and have taken
ny more land in the lower end of the
Park. Their market garden is a
source of considerable revenue, and
this years product will probably re-
turn them $1,000. They send a wa
gon load of stuff to Neihart twice a
week, and will continue this prog
ram till far into the winter. They
have about 80 head of cattle, besides
a nice bunch Of horses. A fine
drove of hogs was carried of this
summer by some form of sickness,
presumably from sympathy with the
Boer republic. Since this startling
casualty list, the prudent SWANS of
Yuleville have concluded not to
buck the pork and lard trust, but to
leave Phil Armour in undisputed
possession of the ham bone and short
rib industry.
Frank Servoss occupies a well-im-
proved, we'll watered homestead in a
coulee south east of Lamb and Yule.
He also runs IA market garden, and
devotes himself to the raising of ev-
erything indigenous to our soil and
climate. He has a good homestead,
and is rapidly forging to the front.
Homer Thomas is ready to cut
about 40 acres of barley hay, which
will give as heavy a yield as any yet
seer this S He has a large
band of well-hred horses, and keeps
a professional buster, named Charley
Johnson, breaking them for the
market. He has some fine roadsters
as we'll as draughts, and can put up
a splendid general purpose team on
short notice.
Thomas's ranch is the one former

GENTLEMEN: | hardly know how
to thank you for the kind and epcourag-
ing expressions, contained in your tele-
gram Of the 29lh. which. has been re.
peated to me from New York.
1t is in the support of those living
along the line, especially the old resi-
dents, upon whom, as fTeeholders and
as leading men in the community, we
must rely for patronage.
1t is needless to say that the Company
through all of its officers from the high
est to the lowest, will cooperate with
citizens of Deloit and other towns along
the line of the Fort Dodge & Omaha
Railroad, to develop a business mutual
ly profitable.
The extreme fertility of the Boyer
Valley and the evidently prosperous
farming conditions there prevailing,
struck me so very fore bly, on my first
trip through your territory some eight
cen months ago, and it will be our eff
fort to build up your town, and others,
into commercial centers as rapidly as is
consistent with sound and assured pro-
gress.
l am sure you do not, and we certain
ly do not, wish to create false values or
anything approaching boom, but
rather to build up business gradually
but surely, and maintain it for all time
on firm basis
w ith renewed thanks for the courtesy

press its thanks to the many subscribers
who have remembered it with their
subscriptions during the month of Jan
uary. We are greatly encouraged by
the hearty support given us, and have
been made to feel that the REVIEWS
days of usefulness are not nearly past.
The results of Januarys collections
have been an inspiration to us to do
our best work for our readers. We are
proud of our readers, proud of the fact
that they are a self respecting, intelli-
gent, debt paying class of people who
know what they want and are willing
to pay for it, Hundreds of times dur
ing the past month we have heard from
our subscribers, 1--WE cannot get along

thank our readers, and promise them
that the Great and Only shall be still
better during the ensuing year.

count on all they owe, providing, they
pay arrearages and one yearin advance
Not more than fifty percent of oul
readers availed them selves of the Jan.
uary offer and there are still hundreds
| to hear from, to them we offer this 1(
per cent discount.
Contrary to our first intentions we
have decided 10 continue our 81. so Offer

is that we have been unable to carry
out all our plans for increasing our Cir
