tage was undeniably suitable for an
alliance with the chief heir of one Of
the wealthiest men of the day. Per-
sonally she was the embodiment of a.
beautiful, gracious, vivacious, we'll
bred and mentally lowered American
girl.
Ideal is hackneyed and greatly
abused word, but it Is the only one
that aptly and satisfactorily describes
the life and companionship of the
Goulds in the two decades that have
elapsed since they stood at the altar.
Mrs. Gould is prominently a domes-
tic woman. Her home and her stall
wart boys and handsome, sprightly
girls are her first consideration, in
common with her husband.
Regardless of their great wealth,
the Goulds live their lives simply. Mrs,
Gould has artistic tastes developed and
cultivated along rational lines, and
these she INDUCES to the top of her
bent. Mr.. Gould is in fullest sympa
thy with her inclinations in this di
rection and shares them with her
Probably there are nowhere persons Of

sons accept the term, but Is found O

They seem to spring to meet the sec.
ond awful crash and glare Of the guns.
Not yet down? Impossible! No flesh
and blood could withstand such fire!
Into and through the columns OF
shrinking horses and men in blue they
burst, like devils incarnate. Some Of
the horses reel and go down with the
troopers. But instantly the cavalrymen
whirl and give the swaying flying
braves another deadly volley at close
range.
Head Chief reels frightfully In his
saddle. His pony goes down with q
sickening thud, riddled by a dozen
balls, not twenty feet from the cres-
cent line. Young Mule convulsively
throws his arms in the air and lurches
backwards. Again the merciIess volley,
and he collapses. His pony plunges
headlong. Dead! Stone-dead they lie,
still dashed to the bodies of their
twitching ponies.
Again the bugle calls. The fight Is
over. Squaws begin their wailing.
Their young braves have died fighting.
They are heroes.

position in the form of crescent, and
sit with loaded carbines unslung,
waiting.
AT the top Of the long steep hill In
their front, silhouetted against the
flaming sky, sit the two slender braves
on their ponies. Cody they lash them.
selves to their saddles. Raising their
rifles high above their heads, they
shake them at the troops and begin a
shrill song of defiance. Suddenly they
fire at the Agency. Their signal!
Into tho Jaws of Death.
A bugle blows. In an instant they
launch their ponies, straight as arrow
from the bow, at the center of the cres-
cent of soldiers. Down the hill they
come, full charge, shouting the savage
Cheyenne war-cry and firing as they
ride.
A bugle blast! and whitening volley
blazes forth from five hundred guns.
Still the ringing war yell. On through
the smoke they come, apparently un-
scathed, working their rifles like mad.

for additional reclamation work.
Would Create Thousands Of HomeSs
This plan Of developing the Internal
resources of the country and making
homes of waste places, is splendid in
its scope, and appears to be entirely
practicable and profitable. Take for
instance, the single example of the
swamp lands of the Kankakee River
basin in Indiana and Illinois. Here
are some 400 thousand acres Of the
very richest of bottom lands, but sub
ject to overflow. They are worthless
except where they have been reclaimd
through expensive private drainage
works, when they have become worth
$500. and $3.50. an acre. Yet 1t is es-
timated by the government surveyors
and engineers that the entire system
could be effectively drained at a cost
in the neighborhood of $40. an acre.
The same can be said Of the lands Of
the Red River Valley in Minnesota.
These include ethe finest grain and
farm lands in the northwest except
that they are frequently overlooked. 1t
would be worth millions of dollars to
the farmers and settlers, who would
occupy these lands in small tracts, to
have perfect system of drainage pro-
yided. These extensive systems, how
ever, especially where they are inter-
state, seem to be feasible for handling
only by the general government.
The Stevenson bill places the en-
tire management of the work in the
Reclamation Service and the plan OF
operation follows very closely the ir-
rigation work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Department.
Government lands, coded Indian lands
and private lands may be included in
any drainage project, but in each case
the cost of the drainage improvement
is to be borne by the owner of the
land and no settler can have drainage
provided for more than 100 acres, thus
insuring the division Of the tracts into
small farms which must be actually
settled upon and titled.
Drainage Work Already In Progress.
This work the Reclamation Service
is qualified to do at this very moment.
While primarily an engineering bureau
1t has, in all its great irrigation pro-
jects, to deal directly with the farmer.
1t must outline comprehensive drain
age system for each irrigation project,

A very comprehensive bill has been
introduced in the House of Representa-
tives by Congressman Stevenson Of
Minnesota, who, If he can push his
measure to enactment into law, will
be deserving Of the praise of not only
this but future generations. His bill
is practical extension of the old
homestead idea, or rather, perhaps, an
application, to the vast areas of our
swamp lands, of the idea embodied in
the national irrigation law.
There are in the neighborhood of
100 million acres of swamp lands in
the United States, some 70 million OF
which have been surveyed, the great
bulk Of which would make splendid
farms, if the excess of water were
drained off.
The Stevenson bill provides for the
beginning of the work of reclamation
of these huge areas. The measure is
framed after the irrigation law; tpro.
vides that the receipts from the sales
of public lands in the non-irrigation
states shall constitute drainage
fund" to be expended by the Govern
ment in great drainage works, and
further, that the cost Of such drainage

FARMING THE SWAMpS.
PLAN TO DRAIN MILLIONS OF

FOR NEW FARMS.

Representative Stevenson Has Bill
to Provide a Government Fund to
Reclaim Hundred Million Acres of
Wet Lands.
The great swamp areas are destin-
ed to come in soon for their share
at the hands of the government The
irrigation of desert lands has been
provided for; but no definite move has
been made as yet to convert the enor-
nous areas of government swamp
land into productive farm homes. The
other day bill was introduced to pro-
vide for the drainage of the great Dis
NAL Swamp of Virginia, which Gener-
al Washington, a century ago, pro-
claimed would one day be converted
into farms.
