$40 ACRE HOMES
What a Stanley County Ranchman
Thinks About Il.

The following communication ap-
pears in the last issue of Fort Pierre
Stock journal:
With IA 64O-acre homestead the pro-
blem OF free range will be entirely
solyed-there will be no more free
range. All the land will be occupied.
Where the land is filed ON now and is
yet open because OF the fact that a
man can't afford to live on Il quarter
section, one person can buy three re-
linquishments and then have enough
land to furnish pasture for several
head the year around.
There is no use in Disgusting the
fact that those who have tried it and
who are in a position To know all agree
that Il section of average land. out
side OF river bottoms, will pasture
only from twenty-five to fifty head of
stock the year around. OF course the
method Of raising some kind OF Il crop
adapted to Il soil and climate like
this. for winter feed, will become
common IN a few years, but stock
raising is now and must be Iur some
time yet to come the principal and in
reality the only industry in this Sec
tion. A family may establish them
selves permanently on II section of
this land, but on IL quarter section.
until some methcd entirely new and
as yet unheard OF is forthcoming, it
is an impossibility.
Under the present system a man
proves up on his land and as he cannot
, not make living on SO small a tract
he is forced to sell and the country is
not benefited by the addition of an
other family to the population. The
present systems fosters the very thing
which the opponents of a larger home
stead urge us their reason for fighting
! the measure-that is, the man who
already has considerable land IS en-.
abled to further enlarge his holdings
and as fast as the land is proved up in
small tracts it becomes part of some
large holding. a 64O-acre homestead
means actual settlers who are going
to stay and do their part in the build
ing up OF the country.
The opponents Of this measure are
mostlymen who are totallyunacquaint
ed with the real situation and who
would advise others to stake their all
IN trying to live and prosper on
quarter section Of grazing land, but
who would not relish the job of doing
it themselves.
Ii the land is good for farming, this
is the way to prove it, for farming and
stockraising 90 hand in hand and if
the land can produce crops, no one
can afford to use from ten to twenty
five acres of it to pasture a steer on.
The sooner it is taken in hand by ac-
tual settlers who are going to stay and
put the land to the best possible use
the sooner will it be permanently cs-
tablished what the ground will produce

MOSCOW Has a strike.

Moscow was without newspapers
for two or three days recently, because
nearly all the printers in the city sud-
denly went on strike, says the New
York Evening Post. The exact cause
of the trouble is uncertain, but it is
generally thought that some relation
existed between it and similar demon
STATIONS in southern Russia
The men behaved themselves in an
orderly way, but collected in groups,
which was unlawful, SO that 200 or
500 fell into the hands of the police
Most of the employers made terms
with their men, in obedience, it is said,
to strong official pressure, and the
strike did not last long. Report says
that the most incendiary prociama-
tons We're distributed by and among
the strikers. Some of those tlwelt upon
what had been done by 'our French
friends and spoke of the destruction
of the BaStile. As matter of fact, a
large crowd did gather in the neigh

tiously called the New University
building, owing to The number of stu
dents confined there, cut was soon dis
perSeG, all the authorities being on the
alert. AS matter of precaution, the
guards about the prison had been dou-
bled. The Moscow papers, when they
reappeared, scarcely mentioned the af-
fair, although some of them did allude
to scarcity of printers

and less trustworthy in his work.
The glorious voice began to go. 1t

A of which he had been so proud, and
which had indeed been wont to ring out
like ciaricp. He turned into a restau-
rant after that nights concert, and sat
| alone in a sort of sick-hearted stupor
He had been Missed for the first time in
his life, and he resolved that it should
be the last. 1t was time to end it all,
time to ring down the curtain on the poor
| tragi-comedy his life had been all along.
The deserted wife came back to him in
memory. He recalled her as she had
been when he had first known her, and a
faint remorse touched him. She had been
right, after all, and had had reason
for her reproacheS.
While in this mood he sat absently tap
ping with the tip of his knife upon n
newspaper which lay on the table before
him. The journal was creased and
crGmpled, and had evidently been left
there by some recent guest. Hackett's
eyes fell upon it. and he looked at it
with no interest until he awoke to the
fact that it was a newspaper from home,
and began to glance at its columns here
and there. A Brocton newspaper! The
thought touched him oddly. and he went
on glancing here and there without no.
ticing greatly what he read. And mean
time the knife went on. tapping, tapping
mechanically at the same spot of the
journal.
The fancy came into his MIND sudden
~. what if there were something there
where he was tapping which might in
terest him, which might be of good or
bad augury to him! He thought of this
for minute or two, fancifully and
vaguely, and then glanced at the spot.
The tip of the knife blade fell upon the
name of John Howarth. The name of
John Howarth was in the register of
deaths, and the name that followed it
was the name of Fanny. his wife.

water from a tank at Gardeene Creek
forty miles north of St Louis. Three
dead bodies were taken from the wreck
and many that were injured
The rear end of the Denver express
was standing on the bridge over Gar
deene creek when the crash came. The
bridge and accommodation train took fire
from the demolished locomotive and
burned, the loss of the bridge temporarily
blockading traffic. The rear car of the
Denver express was the Denver sleeper
1t is said that most of those killed and
seriously injured were in this ear.
The express train was running behind
time because of the blizzard weather. 1t
Is stated that because of so much extra
steam being used it was found necessary
to stop at the Gardeene tank for water.
The snow was falling and the wind

off the signal lights from the view of the
engineer on the local train. which plowed

Hepzibah, who stood mourrfully pressing
the window of the dark front room, star
lng out upon the street. She saw him,
however, and was struck by a something
heartless in his gait and the attitude of
his figure. He was strolling in the di-
rection of the Miners Rest, and Heppzi-
bah knew what her own fears were. She
paused in the narrow hall to snatch a
wrap OF some sort from hook, and then
slipped after him into the street. He

had come within a yard or two her heart
failed her, and she found no courage to
speak 20 him. But he in little while
becoming vaguely conscious that a hur-
rying sep behind him had suddenly ac-
eonlmodated itself to his own, turned
round and recognized her.

Good night. Hepzibah," he answered,
without so much as looking at her. The
stony voice and manner quelled her. and
she dropped behind and suffered him to
walk away without further molestation.
Seeing that he did not turn. she dared to
follow him, ana having seen him enter

nod here and there, and obscured himself
behind newspaper which he did not

company for minute or so, but the
broken conversation was resumed, though
not without some meaning glances in his
direction. The old landlady served him
unwillingluy, and was evidently DESTROYS
that her unwillingness should be seen.
He took this with stony unconcern, as
he accepted everything. He was going

WORDS WITHOUT RHYME.
Some Difficulties the Poets Came


Some Difficulties the Poets Cannot
Overcome,
In well known musical comedy the
kingly poet of mythical state makes
frantic demand on his subjects for a
rhyme with sarsaparilla. The question
calls to mind the surprisingly few
words there are in the comparatively
harsh English tongue, with its plethora
of consonants, for which there are no
rhyming equivalents. Sarsaparilla as
manufactured name is hardly a fair
example. but there are said to be only
three familiar words of every day
speech which loom up ferociously be-
fore the student of metrical possibili-
ties. They are silver, month and car
pet. OF these silver alone remains alb
solutely unassailable, for Swinburne
has in one of his poems word Of
Greek derivation which may be said
at a pinch to rhyme with month, and
w. S. Gilbert of "Pinafore' and mi
kado" fame has in the Dab Ballads
ingeniously conquered carpet as fol-
lows:
One day that Turk he sickened sore,
Which threw him straight into a sharp
pet,
He threw himself upon the floor,
And rolled about his carpet.
The sane author has also establish
ed a record in Patience" fer rhyming
unfamiliar words that look extremely
formidable TO the novice. The verse
runs
When from the poets plinth,

hardly ineligible.
But silver is still obstinate, and the
young Musaen who ends his first line
with that fatal word had better stick
to blank verse.-Philadelph Record.
