Roosevelt Ranch.
Dickinson Press: P. J. Pelissier is
perfecting an organization which is to
give eastern people an idea of EVERY
day Life on Western Ranch"
Born in Pennsylvania, Mr.. Pelissier
came to Jamestown when eight years
old and there first saw a railroad, his
father boasting that he had kept in
advance of civilization. From James
town Mr.. Pelissier moved to Medora
where he has resided twenty-three
years, engaged in ranching. He has
been associated with the cations at
Custer Trail and later at this famous
ranch summer resort with George
Donaldson of Minneapolis. He is a
personal friend of President Roose-
welt, with whom he often rode should

ranching days.
Mr.. Pelissier will have with him a
nice company, each an expert in his
line, and will have 70 head of the
best saddle horses and bucking
bronchos from the Medora ranches
He will open in Dickinson about June
1st and travel east along the line of
the N. P. and later make a tour of
the various Minnesota fairs. Expert
ranch cooking from the mess wagon
will be a feature of the entertainment
as well as daring riding and Droncho
busting. 1t will be good, clean
representation of the ranch lifesin
which every one finds an irresistible
charm. None knows better than Mr.
Pelissier just how to select and pre-
sent features of the free ranch life
of the plains-which will soon be a
thing of the past-to interest and in
struct people to whom Ianching
stands for all that is wild and woolly
and the cowboy for evil incarnate.
Pete Pelissier is a typical west ern
man and has hosts of friends through
out this state and Minnesota, in fact
it would be hard to find man with a
wider acquaintance. Every detail of
the ranch life which he loves is
familiar to him and we predict that

Reunited.

An eFecting scene was enacted in
Windsor Wednesday morning whena
father and his two sons met for the
first time in fifteen years
Years ago Nick Redding, now
prosperous farmer living near Brace
we'll, was the head of a happy home
in Kansas. Two sons came to bright
en- the households, but the mother
died when the little fellows were at
the ages of three and five years.
After much persuasion on the part
of friends, the father, being a labor
ing man unable TO give his children
the care they needed, decided to give
up his young sons to the care of ST.
Vincent's Orphanage at Leavenworth,
Kas. Here the boys were given the
best of care and finally found comfort
able homes in private families, where
they grew to manhood.
In the meanwhile, the father had
sought work in other localities. For
a long time he herded sheep near
Denver. He suddenly left the place.
however, and was last heard of in a
report stating that he was found dead
in the streets of Denver. This report
was generally accepted until Mr. Red
! ding wandered into Windsor much to
i the surprise Of his old friend, It r.
Brooks, who. like many others, had
believed him dead. This was ten
years ago. Mr.. Redding gave up his
wandering habits and soon settled
down 80 farming near this place. In
this he was upheld by Mr.. Brooks,
both morally and financially, and to-
day he is one OF the we'll to-do farmers
of this valley.
During these many years Mr..
Brooks kept trace of the boys through
Il spondence with the sisters at
the orphanage, writing to them as
the father of the boys. It was he,
who. at the fathers request. wrote
the letter enclosing the money that
was to bring the boys home, and it
was in his store that the closing scene
in this touching drama, where father
, and sons were reunited after wears of
J separation, was enacted.-New Wind
, sor (Colo.) Poudre Valley. MANY of
, our old readers will remember Nick
, and will be pleased to learn of this
happy reunion.

ATest of MaCaroai Wheat.

The experiments that are being
made at Fort Riley with Macaroni
wheat bread for the soldiers will open
the way. if successful, for the devel-
opment of new industry in which
the farmers of western Kansas are
greatly Interested. That section is
unsurpassed for the growth Of what is
called durum or macaroni wheat. the
very hardest kind of wheat, spring
variety. With the present process of
milling the millers have found it diff
cult to use this wheat in large guam
Titles, and consequently prices have
been so low as to discourage the farm
ers who raise it. On the other hand,
when properly handled, it makes a
superior article of flour, which, it
is claimed will keep in any climate
better than the ordinary grades.
The government experiments are
being conducted with a view to de-
termining the value of durum wheat
bread as any army ration. So far the
reports are favorable to its use, and
Captain Silver, purchasing agent of
this department. of the United States
army, declares that the flour is far
superior to the ordinary kind In the
Journal yesterday this officer said:
| ssAll the European armies use durum
wheat. 1t makes better bread from
the point of taste and sustenence.
1t contains more gluten than the or
dinary soft wheat and it is gluten
that we are after. I have been ex-
perimenting with it for some time
and the experiments all resulted fav-
orably for the product of western
Kansas
If the experiments which are being
conducted by this enterprising officer
result in the adoption of durum wheat
-four for the United States army, the
amount needed for the troops
in the Philippines alone will
afford a profitable market for the
/. Kansas farmers. The demand will
} also be an incentive to the millers to
| adopt new methods in regard to this
wheat with the probable result that a
new and higher grade of flour will be

Brown County World: If the aver
age Kansan was asked "Was Lincoln
ever in Kansas the answer would
probably be NO." yet 46 years ago the
srail-splittern visited Kansas and
Doniphan county for the first and last
time. In November, 1859, after the
state and county election in Illinois
had gone Democratic and assured
Douglass an election to the United
States senate, Lincoln determined to
visit Kansas on a political tour. Mark
Delehay lived at Leavenworth, Kas.,
and had married a cousin of Lincoln.
u. w. Wilder, author of Annals of
Kansas, the greatest Kansas book.
was then at EIwood. LIncoln's arriv-
al could not better be described than
by Mr.. Wilder in letter written at
one time to the secretary of the Kan
sas Historical society. en- extract
from it reads as follows: ''Delahay
came to Elwood and stayed all night.
He and I went to st. Joe The next
morning and to Hannibal depot where
we met Lincoln and took him up
town in an omnibus. / took him to a
barber shop and bought newspapers
for him. All sat in the dirt waiting
for the Ferry boat to the Great Wes-
tern hotel, large frame building in
Elwood. That night he spoke in the
dining room of the hotel, the meet
ing announced by man going
