ings; there is not an acre Of it that has
not been charted. A dozen States have
been carved out Of it, and the borders
Of the brush and timber lands are
rapidly receding before the .woodman
with his ak and the farmer with his
plow In the near future there will
not be left a single acre of unproduct-
I've land, for the gigantic projects Of
irrigation that the Federal Govern
ment is undertaking will, within the
next decade, transform every arid area
into a fourishing garden.
This great Northwest territory COM
prises fully one-sixth Of the entire area
of the United States and Is now peo-
pied with 100000 Americans who are
engaged in various industries. the an
nual output from which aggregates,
In value, millions Of dollars.
If there is one thing more than an
other that has fostered this marvellous
development it is the modern rail-
road In the great Northwest there
are over $4,000 miles Of railway track
and the capital that is represented by
way companies serving the people Of
this territory amounts, in round num-
bers, to over S2,500,000,00O.
1t is marvellous that such transfer
nation Of a wilderness into flourish
ing home Of civilized beings could be
effected within the short span Of one
human life; yet the progress made
during the last decade is still more re-
markable and the most reliable indica-
ton Of the increasing wealth Of this
section of the United States is the
erection Of some Of the finest public
buildings to be seen anywhere on the
American continent.
The expenditure involved in the
erection Of State capitols alone counts
upward Of $25 100000. The State Of
Montana, with a population Of but
243, 400, has just completed a commo-
dious, new State House that cost in
the neighborhood Of a quarter ofoa
million; South Dakota Is contemplate
ing the expenditure Of several thou
sand dollars in charging and embel-
fishing it's present legislative hall, and
it's twin State to the north has already
appropriated million dollars for the
erection of a beautiful new capitol to
replace the ramshackle frame struc-
ture that is now used as a State
House; Wisconsin has recently ap-
proved designs for a new capitol that
calls for the expenditure of $10,0OO,-
600; Iowa has spent a vast sum to re-
build her present structure that was
partially destroyed by fire; and Min
nesota has just dedicated a 100000
marble palace to the use of the people.
In many respects this latter struc-
ture is the most remarkable in the
United States, and to the tourist trav-
eler. who comes to st. Paul in the
future, twill be a source of pleasure
and inspiration.
When Glenn Brown, the secretary
Of the American Institute of Archi-
tects, of Washington, D. c., visited the
new capitol Of Minnesota, he declared
1t to be the finest structure In Amer
lea to-day with the exception Of the
national capitol at Washington. Not
SO much money has been spent on it

A sweet little robin sat on a limb.
And these are the words she sang to me,
THE world is wide. The world is freei
And naught can its brightness DIM"
And these are The words she seemed TO
i've brides to care for one. two and
three,
And the world is bright and merry and
free,
So with music the world shall ring"
And 1 said Birdie singing sweet melody,
Do you not fear the hunters ball
Or. lest the truant takes your brides
small,
Though the world be bright and free?"
But back and forth. from tree to tree.
Feeding her birdlings through shine and
rain,
She kept singing and singing her glad re-
frain-
"The world is bright and free"
Oh. sweet little birds that sing as you go,
'Tis better far that you know naught
OF the evils with which the world is
There is brightness. but much of woe.
But dear is the lesson. Oh, birdie small,
There are days Of sunshine and days Of
There are days of pleasure. and days OF
Brave are they who can sing through all.
Listen. Oh, heart and cease repining,
When the dark clouds hang low oerhead
Tho all the hopes save life be fed.
Meath the cloud there's a silver lining.
For there was never yet day so wild.
That the sun did not shine out again.
DispeIling all the clouds and rain,
perfect calm and mild.

brighter by our own acts. We are too
apt to hide behind the selfish motto, II
have troubles of my Own-don't tell me
yours" The busy world has neither time
nor inclination TO listen to the tales of
woe so frequently breathed into unwilling
ears. But we would realize the friendli-
ness of sunshine if We took time TO listen
TO the woes of our friends. and rendered
them such aid as was in our power to be-
stow
Ali hearts have not the same troubles,
but each heart knows its own sorrow
and each heart needs its particular en-
couragement. its particular sunshine. II
may be but a word of encouTa cement, or
a word of counsel. or a pecuniary assist
ance. Whatever il is. we fail in our duty
If We do not endeavOr to bring a little
sunshine into the life of a struggling
brother. II is a duty We owe to our
selves. as well as to others TO show the
friendliness of sunshine. We are apt to
magnify our own troubles and thereby do
an injustice to ourselves and to those
about US. We should bear our own bur
dens properly, and by shedding sunshine
on the path Of others, help TO bear theirs
We should do this at all times and under
all circumstances, remembering

When life goes by with a song,
But the man worth while
Is the man who can smile
When everything goes wrong"

sense, That people still go around in that
depressing way. There's sort of a pre-

But not a bit of il. Aunt DolefuT'
hourishes, and still manages to get past
the guards into the sick roonf,- to pour
out her tale OF woe, and to leave the pa

Just the other day to a girl barely
over the operation for appendicitis went

themselves. who give the advice? Yet
after they've advised you to be brave and
told you how much worse off you might
have been, they enter upon long complaints
Of their aches and pains and troubles.
Don't make the mistake of giving them
the advice they gave you. unless you want

proving that no one ever had such trials

They say a man often feels he atones

the Scotch say. "sonsie," and who carries
her nonsense in with her TO the sick room.
There she treats the invalid to harm

about as good a tonic as there Is.
Before she leaves she has told what is
going on, as completely as a Court Ga

the invalid is interested and amused, and
looks forward to her coming again.
But right here should be a wee word
good cheer; and exuberance will tire the
invalid while IL is enlivening her. Those
strong people, who are joyously poised
in health, are sometimes too bluff, too
hearty. They are like a gust of wind in

~ UESTIONS of ethics, of morality,
l of religion and what not are
/" nowadays all exploited in books
of fiction. If a man or woman
has revolutionary ideas on any sub
ject under the sun, he or she, instead
of writing a sober, serious statement
of these ideas, will write a story in
which the authors newly devised sys-
tenn is set forth by the hero or heroine
1t must be said that most of these
books are by women, and there has
been an undue amount of them given
us during the past six months. The
so-called inferior position Of women
seems to be the chief grievance of the
feminine writers who would revolu-
tioniZe things, and they talk learnedly
about the injustice of asking women
to promise to love, honor and obey. In
one of these unconventional books,
written anonymously and sent out from
Chicago, the author would abolish
marriage entirely and establish sys-
tenn of free love. In another the hero
inc cannot bring herself to become
white slave" by promising to obey
mere man, and she allows the man she
supposedly loves to live miserable and
alone, while she goes out to reform
the world and educate people accord
ing to her wonderful ideas.
These books merely proclaim to the
world that their writers have a griev-
ance; that things have gone wrong
with them, and instead of seeing their
own mistakes-which generally cause
our troubles-they are inclined to
blame the world and existing institu-
tions. If they are not drawn toward
religion, they regard it as a failure; If
their husbands go wrong, all marriage
is to them a mistake. 1t is surprising
that writers such as these can find
publishers. Something more than a
disappointment in life is necessary as
an equipment to write, and many of
these books are poorly written, and
their value as literature is simply nil.
1t is actually refreshing to come across
story pure and simple; one with a
heroine who is unmarried, has no trou-
bles and falls in love and marries like
rational being. But the simple sort
of fiction has gone out entirely, and
the modern novel seems to be a sci
entific study, instead of an amusing
recreation.
