Lee Gives I'm It's Dead.

The recovery of a guides body after
twenty-eight years entombment in a
glacier of Monte Rosa is the third res
toration of the kind, if we are not mis-
taken, in Alpine history. In 1877 his
tourists saw him disappear in the
crevasse, and the body could not then
be recovered. But during the interval
the slow movement of the glacier has
been continually bringing it down I'M
til it has been disgorged at last-his
ice ak still in the dead mans hand,
his pipe in his pocket. The two pre-
vious instances, as will be recalled
occurred at the Glacier des Blossoms,
beneath Mount Blanc. where the re-
mains of the victims of the HameI
catastrophe in 1920 appeared after
forty-one years, and those of Captain
Arkwright Cost in 1860, after thirty
one. Perhaps this third case may
strengthen the hope that, as some
have been predicting, the body of
Lord Francis Douglas, lost in the his
torie first ascent of the Matterhorn
may be given up near Zermatt this
summer. But the probabilities are
altogether against it. In the opinion
of the vast majority of experts, Lord
Francis fell upon some inaccessible
ledge or into some cleft on the noun
tain's side, and will remain there to
all time.-Pau Mall Gazette.

The COMING Country.

The opportunity for the man of lit
tie means is probably better today in
the prairie states of the southwest
than ever before in the history of the
claims or of taking up lands under
government laws is gone and will not
return again. 1t is a different kind of
opening which lies before the settler
and its promise is of exceeding bright
ness. Its best opportunity is shown
in the great southwest where the
Transformation is going on and where
the conditions of soil and climate is
in harmony with the warm skies and
temperate winds. To the man who is
not satisfied with his condition, the
southwest has an inviting future.
Along the lines of the Missouri,
Kansas g. Texas railway there are vast
areas of unimproved lands awaiting
willing hands to make them yield the
nountiful crops of which the land is
factories and new business of every
description. 1t is the finest kind of
an opportunity in the finest section of
the United States. The southwest is
tiIity of its soils-for its climate. Its
people are progressive and up-to-date,
its religious and educational facilities
are as good as can be found elsewhere.
The n. K, & T. railway has no
lands for sale, but is interested in

brighter prospects and offers better
opportunities than any other section.
