THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.
Many Seeking Homes Where Lands
Are Cheap and Climate is Mild-Low
Rates for f1omeseekers and Colon .
lists Twice q nonth.

Many farmers in the Northern and Eastern
States are selling their high-price lands and
locating in the Southwestern Missouri, Ar
kansas, Louisiana and Texas. Many who
have been unable to own their homes in the
older country are buying land at the low
prices prevailing in the new country-$5,
SO, SIS per acre and up. These lands are
mostly cut-over timber lands, some of them
possessing a deep rich soil producing corn,
wheat, oats, clover, cotton, fruits and vege-
tables. Well improved farms are scattered
throughout this country. Many places with
small clearings and some improvements can
be bought very cheap. Our descriptive liter
allure gives fairly good idea of this coun-
try. 1t tells obout the soil, crops, climate,
people, schools and churches, water, health
1t contains maps showing location of coun-
ties, towns, railways and streams, and gives
names and addresses of real estate dealers

Reduced rates for homeseekers and colo
nists are in effect first and third Tuesdays of

The ATHLETES HEART.


In t.ie Rowing Man 1t Ii Strong and
Well Developed.
A prominent member Of the faculty
of the University Of Pennsylvania Med
ical school has made d study of the
heart action Of athletes. He has ex-
ulGined q large number Of men in ath-
lctics, especially rowing men, and he
has come to the conclusion that no man
In perfect health who has been proper
ly trained is injured by rowing, but
that, OH the contrary, his heart is SO
strengthened that. with moderate
amount of exercise after he has finish
cd his rowing career, there is no rea-
son, so far as the heart and lungs are
concerned, that be should not live to a
very Old age.
The heart" said Le, lis both a very
delicate ana very strong organ-that
is. If 1t is we'll developed it will stand
any permanent injury, but If it is not
we'll developed it is very easily weak
ened Violent exercise, like rowing,
places a great deal Of strain on the
heart because when the body is being
eXerted it requires so much more pres
sure to force the blood through the
body. Like any other muscle that is
worked, the heart under the added la
Dor becomes larger, and most athletes
have extra large hearts, just as they
also have larger muscles throughout
the body
IF the strain is put upon the heart
suddenly it dilates-it becomes larger,
but not more muscular-and that is the
danger in athletics. If man exercises
gradually then his heart also increases
in size gradually because the muscles
become larger, and this is perfectly
normal condition. 1t simply means
that the athlete has a stronger heart
than the average and can cope with
the extra strain that is put upon 1t. A
man needs a larger heart to row a
race, and if gradual exercise has so
provided him with one then he can
safely undergo the most severe tests.
1T is the same way with the lungs,
and they must be developed gradually
until they can undertake the extra
work. A man with his heart and lungs
we'll developed is in no danger, no mat
ter how hard the race. He may COM
pletely keel over at the end Of the race,
but 1t will likely be from sheer exhaus-
ton, and his heart is so strong that the
effect is not at all injurious. He will
be as good as ever in a few moments"

Rules With Majesty Unique.


Christs death, so far as human vision
IL concerned, was pathetic failure.
He had come to found q kingdom, he
had declared himself, at Rast by the
consent that silence gives, to be king.
He had openly announced himself as
the Messiah, and yet in his death he is
the weakest Of the weak, an object of
contumely and Of scorn. But now to-
day, after nineteen centuries Of time.
Christ Jesus rules with a splendor,
pomp and>a majesty unique among the
monarchs of the world who have ex-
ercised autocratic sway over huma nifty.
He is worshiped as the divine one, as
the Son Of God, by countless hosts of
people. Churches in every civilized
land, representing incalculabler wealth,
are lifted up in his name. Gifts large,
lavish, generous, are given out of
hearts naturally otherwise selfish for
the worlds enlightenment and enrich
ment in obedience to Christ's word to
preach the gospel to every creature

dQealist, New York.

Atrocious Cruelty.
Newport Express and standard

Newport Express and Standard
\ case of cruelty to a town charge like
this of Almeda Hoyt of Westiield is
enough to make a persons blood boil
with indignation. Think for a moment
of the facts in the case as they are shown
to appear. In the first place a poor I'M
derwitted girl without a friend in the
world, let out, disposed of, got rid Of for
one dollar and fifty cents a week, sum
not large enough to feed a hungry cat,
much less a human being. This girl
made to act day after day as a scare
crow to keep crows out of the corn;
made to drag wood and rails as fuel
from the fields to the house: scantily
clothed; fed on the slop of the milk that
the separator leaves for the hogs; made
to sleep upon a bed of filth, starved,
pounded and abused until death comes
to her relief and leaves the poor emac-
lated framework, covered with bruises,
the intestlnes void of food and the
crushed, drawn and pinched features as
proof of somebody's terrible guilt And
all this in a civilized community of God
loving and God-fearing people The
woman, Mrs. Rose Ducharme Ostrout
human brute as she seems to be, is to
blame for this, but she is not all to
blame.
The overseer of the poor of the town
of Westfield is to blame, and so is the
town. To be sure, the people were not
cognizant of the facts in the case until
! it was too late to remedy them; but they
should have been. Men are appointed
to look after just such cases, and If
they attend to their business no such
case as the above would ever have hap
| pened. 1t was not wilfullness on the part
of the town, but carelessness, and it was
negligence on the part of the overseer.
But it was a grievous fault. The poor
are among us and it should be the pride
of every town, not to see how cheap a
town charge can be disposed of, but how
comfortable they can be made so that
their last days may be days of peace.
Especially should this be the case with
female paupers who are frequently made
such directly or indirectly through men.
And it should be so in all cases. What is
a paltry tax when that tax goes to make
somebody comfortable?

of the first half actually outplayed Yale,
ripping big holes in the line and going

rallied in the last ditch, and just as
Harvard seemed bound to score held to
the third down, and forced Marshall to
try a goal from the field to no purpose
whatever.
once Harvard had the ball inside the
one-yard line. Two of Yale's scores
came from the blocking of punts, and
both in kicking and handling punts Yale
excelled. To Harvard it was a game OF
