ROMANCE OF a FARM.
After Many Generations in One Family
lit Has Become an Orphanage.

After Many Generations in One Family
lit Has Become an Orphanage.
A romantic story, one in which n
number of stirring incidents are re
lated, is told of a little farmhouse and
forty-seven acres of land that have
been turned over to great church or
ganization for an orphanage.
The property is located on the main
line of the Northwestern road, about
two hours out from Chicago. and adj
joins the little village of Nachusa. The
land was handed down from genera
ton to generation by a family of the
name of DySart. BY member of this
family it was originally taken up from
the government, and remained in the
family until it fell into the possession
of Colonel Alexander Dysart. who for
years was one of the best known citi-
zens of the section. He was man of
some eccentricities, but beloved by the
whole community. He raised a family
of sons, three of whom became engi-
neers on the Northwestern road and
are now running trains. The colonel.
during his lifetime. improved the old
home, which in early years was but
cabin, until it assumed the proportions
of fine country home. He surround
ed it with a double row of pine trees.
and these for miles may be seen from
points along the road.
When the colonel was we'll along in
years he fell in love with a widow,
and against the wishes of his family
married her, only to be divorced in Il
few years.
Within sight of the Dysart home
was the farm of Peter Durham.
sturdy German, the father of an IN
dustrious family. Among the children
was a daughter, Mary, who grew up
to be as pretty a lass as could be found
in all Lee county. A farmers daugh-
ter, she in due time became a farmers
wife, marrying Henry Shippert. Both
husband and wife had not one but sew
eral farms of rich Lee county land,
but after the body of old Colonel by
sart was laid to rest and the property
was offered for sale, Mrs. Shippert
bought it. Then she proposed to the
Evangelical church, of which she is a
member, to convert the little farm into
an orphanage. The church accepted
the charge and recently the home Of
the kindly old colonel was dedicated to
its noble purpose.-Chicago Tribune.

the vast new oil. copper, coal, gold and
tin fields. Central Alaska is destined
to be the real empire of the territory,
having a very tropical foliage and
wealth beyond conception. 1t is

sentinel of which is Mount Mckinley,
2O,2OO feet high, having none of the

new trip will take four days from
Seattle to Seward by steamer and
twenty hours by rail to Fairbanks at
cost of $145.

venturesome spirits who dare the

Ihls valley, now unknown to the av-
erage American, has been the scene of
many stirring events. History has
known it for nearly 400 years, having
found it in possession of a village of
PueblOs in 1912. Before history stray
ed this way there had been another
race and civilization there. The ruined
walls standing to-day point to a great
city, and half-flled irrigation bitches
prove considerable engineering ability
but the ancient people have not left a
tradition.
The Pueblos of this valley led the re
volt of 1850, which drove the Spaniards
from New Mexico for IL years. Pope,
the San Juan Indian who was the chief
of the red rebels, made his headquar-
tiers in this valley, and here was the
capital of New Mexico during the life
of the great Pueblo Confederacy. The
aborigines of this mountain region were
always brave and lovers of freedom.
They Joined in many revolts against
their Spanish oppressors. When the
Mexicans rose against their own cor
rupt officials in 1887 the Pueblos of the
Taos Valley aided them, and one of
these Indians, Gonzales, was installed
In the historic palace at Santa Fe as
Governor of New Mexico. Even 10
years later. when called on by their
Mexican neighbors to redeem their
pledge as allies, these Pueblos did not

WOMAN SELLING FARMS.

Chicago Teacher Earns ST. 800 in Conn
missions During Vacations.
Woman's ability to sell farms and in
duce city people to move to them, no
matter how far away they are, is
proved by the experience of Chicago
woman school teacher, according to the
story an Illinois land agent tells. He
says one of the women teachers in
Chicago schools made $1,000 in COM
missions during her vacation last year,
selling farm lands in a far northern
country. This woman is not only
good talker, dresses and looks well,
but she seemed to know just what fam
lilies or heads of families to select. In
each case they were the best adapted,
according to her view of the matter, to
farming. and as a result some of them
are on their farms and have crops
growing She did not sell to women
particularly, but to men who are good
judges of land.
She had one advantage in talking up
the country in which she was selling
land. She had herself invested in
quarter section. She knew what is
raised there, what class of people go
to that locality, and something about
the weather of the region, acquiring
familiarity with so many features she
was able to answer almost any uues-
ton asked of her. Not long ago, among
a party that left Chicago on an evening
st. Paul train, at least half were Chi.
