 While so many improvements are going on in our little hamlet, that is Frightening our homes with new paint, trimming the trees, repairing fences and buildings, all of which speaks of a laudable pride on the part of the good folk of Great Plain, we regret to notice one thing in a place that should be beautiful and we'll cared for. We re- fer to- that which has for long time been an unpleasant sight, a fallen tree in the s'little city of the dead" We have often wondered whose duty it was to care for this place. Is it be. cause ''every business is nobody business?" Perhaps the writer ought to attend to it. Any way, it seems to us as if it would be good thing tC have it removed.-[*

 The committee of ladies appointed at the last annual meeting of the New town Library Association to plan en- tertainments for the raising of money through the year has hit upon novel scheme.

Thus our book house will be set in good order when our guests come to see how we look at our great Bi-centennial. This is the right thing to do and we must help the good work (which means the la dies) along. Remember that the first date when ice cream and cakes will be on sale is Saturday evening, July l.

GREAT PLAIN.
A LITTLE NONSENSE N

LITTLE NONSENSE NOW AND THEN. There is man in our town.
 Whose duties take him up and down The country roads and city streets.
 He always has word and smile for every
 one he meets. His horses, two. are not brand new
 But one is hard to pass. The other one, a dapple gray,
 Is notso swift, alas. A Yankee Doodle'' boy is he.
 A mail man staunch and true, And if you try to quiz him,
 You'll find its ''up to you.' He seems to ''know whereof he speaks,' Thus ran the Rumble Bee, And yet he's off on wOmen's ways,
 It's very plain to see. He seemed to think all they could do
 Was wash and iron and bake, But now he finds Great Plain has one,
 Who -2arely takes the cake. Ten mighty post holes she did dig
 And set the poles therein, The Lord of the Manor will do the rest, Or we'll call the neighbOrs in.

A very attractive and handsome booklet, entitled Wonderland, has just been issued by the Passenger De- partment of the Northern Pacific rail road. Those interested in the growth and progress of the West, particularly in the arts and in the refnementS of society, will be glad to note the great stride forward taken by Minnesota, so we'll shown in the construction of one of the finest and most costly public buildings of the countrywide new and magnificent marble Capitol at St Paul, and which Wonderland describes The shores and islands of Lake Superior, known to the Indians as Kitchigami, are yearly becoming more and more a fine summer pleasure ground, and re- treat for hay fever sufferers. Wonder land has a chapter on this region, made memorable by Longfellow in Hiawatha. A story of the days of '76 and TT, when Indian uprisings were the vogue in the West. This briefly recountS the events leading up to a fight with the band of Lameu Deer, a Sioux chief, in the valley of the Rose bud in Montana, the death of the chief, and his supposed 1nterment in a natural rock sepulchre. The descrip- tion of the Yellowstone is partly his UOI lCdl3 p0AuAy uOoOA1PUASO, onN SiNSo one at some length a many.sided view of this wonderful land of geysers, hot springs, bears, terraces, cataracts, bi- son and canons. The holding of the Lewis and Clark exposition, the cen tennial of an event of momentous con- sequence to our entire country, is preg- nant with great possibilities. The ex- position city, Portland, Oregon, is one of the most attractive in the United States, and the surrounding country is wonderfully rich in historical and scenic attraction, and in an agricul' tural and horticultural way. The ex' position offers the best opportunity yet known to visit the Northwest and the Pacific Coast during the vacation
 period at an almost ridiculously low
 cost. The exposition marks an epoct
 in the history of the West. The book
 will be sent to any address on receip
 of six cents in stamps.

WRITTEN FOR THE BEE BY REV s. D. WOODS
 WORTHWHILE When the wind blows there's 8 rustic, As the leaves and light things hustle, There's 8 rattle bang and chatter. And we wonder what's the matter When the West Wind blows. There's no time to leave the helm, Lest the huge waves overwheim, As they roar and plunge and batter And we're sure something's the matter When the East Wind blows, There's softness in the Sea Breeze, As it murmurs in the shade trees, When we hear the cooing, wOoing, Then we wonder what it's doing When the South Wind blows. There's time to run for shelter, When the snow comes hel.er skelter. When the wind flaps coats and bonnets, Singing not in soft, sweet sonnetS, When the North Wind blows.
