 TIME, When I think sometimes of old griefs
 had.
 of sorrows that once seemed to
 harsh to bear,
 And youths resolve to never more be
 glad.
 I iaugh-and do not care. When think sometimes of the joy
 I know,
 The gay. glad laughter ere my heart
 was wise,
 The trivial happiness that seemed so
 true.
 The tears are in my eyes. Time-Time the cynic-how he mocks
 us all!
 And yet. today can but think him
 right.
 An heart. the old joy is so tragical.
 And the old grief so light. Theodosia Garrison in the Reader Magazine. c. Jenks tells of the methods of Dime Novel MakersSi' Mir.

What Land Hunger neans to the
Southwest.
The following editorial from Farm
and Home of Chicago, for Feb. Is, is
significant because it puts in a nut
shell the immediate future of the south
west, as reviewed by q journal which
reaches the millions throughout the
United States. It is written by an
editor Herbert Myrick) whose inter-
probation of conditions has proven
correct every time.
Land hunger is more keen this
spring than ever. The demand for
high-priced lands in the middle and
central states is increasing from those
who do not wish to move to newer
sections. Holders are more disposed
than heretofore to sell out, and with
their profits, buy larger tracts for
themselves and their children of the
cheaper lands in the northwest and
southwest.
I have just finished q TO- OO-mile
tour Of inquiry into this peculiar
situation, and believe that 1904 will
see . movement of population into the
southwest that will vastly surpass
even the hegirs of 1905 or Of recent
years. Good lands a. low prices,
wherever located, are ceriain to he
profitable investments for those who
settle upon and work them wisely.
The tide just now is certainly for
the southwest, toward which land
seekers, cOl0nists and tourists are
travelling In unprecedented numbers.
II al interested In the development Of
this section will improve to the utmost
the present and coming opportunity,
the increase in population and values
win Be rapid, substantial and per-
manent.
