trict for wheat growing. It is not good
for mixed operations as well. 1t is be-
cause it is level, has sufficient rain
fall every year, plenty of snow in the
winter for moisture in the early spring
and favorable climatic conditions the
year round that it is specially marked for
this branch of husbandry.
In this part of the country wheat is
king, and here it is raised in the great
est possible perfection by combination
of soil and climate in its favor, and the
tendency has been to neglect the more
laborious branches of husbandry for
which the country is equally well
adapted.
AS if to cope with the offerings of ma
ture, the railway companies are ready
with their railways to haul the grain as
soon as 1t is relieved from the straw in
the fields by the threshers. Throughout
this entire belt there is an enormous
length of railway mileage. branches are
radiating in every direction from the
trunks until they scarcely leave grain
field more than six or seven miles from
road. and they are all required, for in
the fall and early winter the sight of the
trains passing to and from the elevators
at the railway depots makes the entire
country look like one hive of industry.
Free Homestead Lands.
There Is yet Il large quantity OF
government land for homesteading in
this country, and as in everything
else 'the early bird catches the
worm" Those who come first are
first served. When it is preferred to
purchase railway or other company
lands they can be got at from five
dollars per acre up. This section can
not be better closed than by show
ing practically what is made by wheat
growing in this district. The average
from the first Of operations is 20
bushels per acre. Breaking the

CAPT. WHITES BRAVERY.
Commander of Chicago Mercantile
Battery Did Deed of Wonder at
Grand Gulf, Miss.

81 have often heard my father, Gen.
A. j. Smith, say that the hottest place
he was in during the late war was at
Grand Gulf, in Mississippi. l still have
among my treasures at home piece of
flag which was almost shot to shreds
by the confederates on the hill, while
the federals were in ditch" Mr.. Beau
mont Smith, of st. Louis, is the narra-
tor of his fathers hottest experience in
the war.
-Four hours the northern troops re-
mained in the ditch, while hand gren-
AIDES and loaded shells rolled over them
My father had been ordered by Gen. Nc
Clernand to get two guns up to posi-
ton on the hill and called upon five
to six batteries successfully. The cap
tains all protested that it was impos-
sible to drag guns by hand down one
slope and up another under fire. MY
| father, however, exclaimed: L know
battery that will go to h, if you
| order them there So he sent for Capt.
| White, of the Chicago Mercantile bat
terry, and told him what was wanted.
"'All right, replied White, T'll take
| my guns there
"rhe general never forgot Whites
bravery. His men actually dragged the
pieces over the rough ground by hand,
carrying the ammunition in their ham
mocks. One gun was stuck on the way
but the other they hauled SO near the
confederate works that it was difficult
to elevate it sufficiently to be of use.
Finally White succeeded in shooting
1T into an embrasure, disabling a gun
in the very act Of discharge, and scat
tering death among the gray-coated
cannoneers. A detachment got into
the work, but every man was captured.
Whites battery was the only one that
even for moment gained possession of
a portion of the enemy's lines"

The Barrier
By NELLIE cRAvEY GILMORE
Copyright. laOt. by Daily Story Pub. Co.,

MI ILLICENT DREXEL never could
VI have told how long she had sat
Staring dumbly at one of the four walls
of her 7oom, had not a servant entered
with tea and waters and announced that
dinner would be served in half an hour
She rose stiftiy and, leaving the re-
freshment untouched, crossed with list
less feet to one of the deep, curtained
windows that stood open to entice every
chance breath of wind from the river
below.
Her face, smooth, transparent, clear
as a cameo, looked almost ghastly in the
waning afternoon light. Into its ex-
preston of hitherto unruffied sweetness
and calm had crept a despairingness
whose climax seemed to stand invul-
nerable against all further mortal suf-
fering.
Pale shafts of dying sunlight slipped
insiduously into the darkened room,
lighting it with a sort of golden dim
ness
Minutes passed, and presently a
cuckoo clock struck a shrill warning of
the passage of time. Mrs. Drexel
caught her breath and turned mechan-
ically toward her dressing table. She
made her toilet absently, but with the
same strict regard for personal adorn-
ment that was part of herself.
Fifteen minutes later, when she went
downstairs to dinner, Allison had al
ready arrived. 81 received yonr note"

She smiled in q wan little fashion,
struggling as she had never struggled
before to hide all the bitterness and
misery and despair that surged over her
afresh at sight of him She sank
gratefully into the chair he had drawn
up, inexpressibly glad of the semidark
that masked her face from his unsus-
pecting eyes.
At dinner she frightened Tsibly, sue
ceeding far beyond her own expectations
in binding her lover to every suspicion
of the tragic barrier that had so sudden
ly sprung up between them.
When the last course was finished, she
led the way with her old gTaciousness
and motioned him to chair opposite
her. Allison took the prOnered seat
with a smile that portrayed only joy
IN the consciousness OF her nezrness.
And Millicent? She felt, somehow,
that she was going to be a coward, and
realizing that the inevitable disclosure
required all her courage and tact, set
about fairly and squarely to muster what
stamina she could.

And mid the clay heaps cluttered
The digging crew has come upon
The house OF him who muttered:

Above Udnunki there was built
a long-forgotten city;
The excavations in the silt
Show buildings quaint and pretty,
And of the houses brought TO light
Is one in rubbish tumbled-
'Tis where once lived that griz2lcd wight
Who to his neighbors grumbled:

Another city grew on top
or that which topped Gdnunki,
Its palaces knew bow and hop
And smirk of beau and tlunky-

But patient search has Melted
The house of him whose gloomy fears
Were pictured when he fretted:

Through relics worn and junky.

which readily cross the Rocky noun
tains in southern Alberta through gaps

of the Canadian provinces is regarded as
somewhat arid and less fertile than
other portions of the country. AL
though this has been prevailing idea
in the east, it has been left for American
settlers who have invaded this district

prove that splendid crops of grain can
be grown on the land which had hitherto
been the feeding ground for the herds of
cattle and bands of horses that ranged
here.
