Meeting Her Lost Brother.

What are North Dakota's pros
poets Of development next year?
That is question good many
people would like to have answered
and answered correctly. Having
about concluded a year Of unparal-
leled prosperity, all things consid-
cred, what is the outlook for 1904?
Secretary Of Agriculture Turner
recently estimated the total value
Of North Dakota farm products for
1903 at about 135, 100000. This is
q pretty satisfactory showing for
even North Dakota when it is re-
membered that Iowa, the leading
icultural state in the union with
four times the cultivated area Of
North Dakota, produced less than
three times the value in farm prod

ucts Of the aickertail state. That
sum will pay off good many old
debts and provide for numerous
improvements. More than that, it
is another valuable tribute to the
greatness Of North Dakota as an
agricultural state and the best ad-
vertisement of what the state has
to offer the homeseeker. Those
claiming to be familiar with the
real estate situation assert that the
outlook for a large immigration
next y9aris very promising. In
quiries concerning land are numer-
GUS and come largely from the
middle west Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri being
apparently the most interested.

Red River Valley has given an i'm
petus to the demand for real estate
in this section, and prices have
shown steady increase.
Real estate men predict very
good business in the spring and
are reaping the harvest occasioned
largely by the good crops of this
year. North, Dakota during the
present year experienced the great
est building boom in her history,
and while it is too early to speak
definitely Of next year, it is proba-
BILE that this record will be sur
passed The prosperity Of North
Dakota is Of the permanent kind,
and at present there appears no
reason why next year should not
be more prolific of results than this.

Sacajawea, the Indian girl who served
as guide to Lewis and Clark. renders

Lewis and Clark journals:

the slave and wife Of Chabonneau, a
French voyageur. who, like many 4
waif Of his race, had sunk far towards
savagery and was living with the
wild men. Perhaps the best strike
the Captains made in preparing for
their work was in engaging Chabon-
neau and Sacajawea to join the ex-
pedition. It was believed that he
would be a useful Interpreter, and
that the Bird-woman, too, might be Of
some service when they reached the
mountains from which she had come.

the spring Of 1906, these two were in

"From the first, however, the Bird

their men by mild and engaging
qualities; and as they worked their
canoes up the Upper Missouri, she
showed extraordlnary -. afaciency..
Though burdened with her babe, she
labored with the men, with paddle
and tow-rope. and soon rendered an
important service. A canoe loaded
with the most valuable belongings Of
the expedition, the Journals Of the
Captains. their scientific instruments,
and their medicines. was caught in q

from an overturn only at the last
moment, her precious cargo floating
out upon the stream. But the Bird

saved not only herself and baby, but
grasping right and left at the escaping
packages rescued what was indispen-

of her presence of mind and

After which he went dow nto the Sta | ton to see Number Six go through. | After which he went up to the Post | office to wait until the Mail had been distributed, One day in 1889 Mordecai re- celved a Seed Catalogue and after that he | was encouraged. While waiting for his
 Mail, MT. Quinsy said a few plain Words about the Kaiser and stood up for the
 Monroe Doctrine.
 About II o'clock every day Mir Quinsy acted as Referee in a Pool Game and
 then went over to the Barber Shop to
 look at the Illustrated Papers contain
 ing the Pictures of Footlight Favorites
 and Noted Criminals. Mir Qulnsy, being
 possessed of m Analytical Mind. was
 deeply interested in all Murder Mysteries
 and for every Case he had a few Theo- ries of his own that would have been great help to the Police.
 Just at 12 o'clock MT. Quinsy went home and ate a hearty Dinner. after which he returned to Main Street. smoking a Farm Hand Regala, and gazing thoughtfully at the Ground, trying to straighten out the Panama Canal Business.
 Tn the Afternoon he hung around the Court House more or less, because he played a good Game of Checkers, and besides he liked to be on hand in case the State needed the Services of an un- prejudiced Juror.
 MT. Ouinsy had a weak back, which prevented him from splitting Wood, but he loved some kinds of Work and the Honest Foil that suited him best was to sit on a Jury in a Case involving Assault and Battery.
 If there was nothing doing at the Court House Mir Quinsy usually went to Real Estate Office and grappled with the Trust Problem. He had given much Thought to the Matter of legislating against infamous CombiSes and he was one of the first to discover that the Trusts were trying to whipsaw the Work ing Classes.
 About the time that he had solved the Trust Problem, he had to go over and see the Afternoon Train go through and wait for his Mail once more.
 Late in the Day he usually dropped in at an Undertaker's Shop where a Veterinary Surgeon and a retired Truck Farmer were collaborating on a Foreign Policy for the State Department. Mir. Quinsy was always able to slip in a few suggestions. He was dead set against the Anglo-Saxon Alliance and believed in the Annexation of Canada even if 1t in volved War.
 At 5:30 he would purchase Pound of Oyster Crackers and have them charged. Then he would go home to Tea and tell Mrs. Quinsy and the Daughter to fix up the Sofa for him as he was suffering from a Headache and wanted to Rest for a little while.

I started to get down and when l reached the lower limb looked for place to drop. But I didn't drop, for there, standing at the foot of the tree, stood my crazy man, the knife still in his hand.

 But 1 didn't come. I scrambled high CT and yelled for help. though none came.
 'sThe maniac found heavy board near and, placing it against the tree, started to climb up, but in his hurry and excite ment he did not place 1t securely, and when he was about half way up 1t slipped and he went spawling to the ground. He got on his feet and tried 1t once more. Again and again he tried it, but it would slip and throw him. Sev- eral times, however. he came within an inch of reaching the lower limb. from which he could have easily climbed up to where I was.
 About this time another inmate came sauntering along and took a hand in the game and held the plank for my friend who soon made good headway. and ] saw fin a few moments he would reach me.

 MT. Quinsy could sit on a Kit of Mack erel with a Bunch of Keys. a Barlow Knife, Plug of good eating Tobacco and about 35 cents in Currency secreted in his Jeans and he could tell the Treasury De- partment just how to manage the next $l00,0O0000 Issue of Bonds.
 One thing that worried MT. Quinsy a lot was the Possibility that Teddy would make some serious Mistake. He felt more or less responsible for Teddy inasmuch as he had formally nominated him in front of Pilkin's Hardware Store as far back as 1899. If he could have been at Teddy's Elbow all the time to whisner Advice there would have been no Chance for the Administration to get balled LID But the Trouble was that MT.
