French fur-traiers called them, are in
Dakota, Wyoming and Northwestern
Nebraska, between the north fork of
Platte and the south fork Of the Cher
enne River, and cover an Of about
LOCO square miles. They are de.
scribed as one Of the most wonderful
regions in the world. Oeoogis hold
that during the miocene period a vast
fresh-water lake covered this portion
Of the American continent. As these
lakes drained OF, after the subsistence
Of the plains further east, the original
lake-beds were worn into canyons that
tNined in every conceivable direction.
Here and there abrupt and almost per-
pendicular portions Of the ancient beds
remain in al imaginable forms, some
resembling the ruins Of abandoned
cities. Towers, spires, catbedrals.
obelisks, pyramids and monuments Of
various shapes appear on every side.
DIR. Hayden, the earliest explorer Of
this region, SAYS.
"Aoti0frequently ths rising or setting

The harder layers project from the

If you have done much shopping You
must have noticed that more mea Than
women are employed At the dress goods
counters. II occurred "a the writer 10
ask il there was any reason for this.
The manager replied, just as II he had
been expecting some one to ask the
question. There are several reasons
for it. Women do not like TO take the
say-so Of their own sex on dress goods:
men have better ideas Of combination
than women men are more diplomatic
IN dealing with women than falesuom-
en- are. a salesWoman can accomplish
more at some other counter than mon.
But at the dress goods counter men
make the best employees. You would
naturally think that a woman coald
grab up piece OF goods and show il
to advantage. j never saw one that
could d. Il. Few women are good
Judges Of combinations Of colors on the
counter. A modiste is. Of course. but
q woman cannot always have a modisie
with her when sho goes shopping.
Men y no are in the business take 70 q

as ducks take 10 water. They seem to
