LETTER Of ANCIENT DAYS
supt. auigley Possesses a Lette,
Written in the Days Before
Using Envelopes.

County Superintendent QulRley
showed US quite a novelty in the
letter writing of SO years ago. 1t
was a letter written by..his mother to
her brother in May. 1888. The Ink
was we'll preserved and was perfectly
plain. The novelty Of the letter was
that it formed its own envelope by
folding in a particular way and sealing
with wax. 1t was the day before en-
velopes were invented and it was
quite a difficult matter to SO fold a
letter Us to form an envelope. The
letter came Into his possession by
the recent death OF the brother and it
was sens to Prof. Quieley 10y bis
children as a keepsake OF hismother.
The professor values the letter very
highly for it's historic WORTH.

Huxley and Lewes.


Here is an anecdote once related by
Herbert Spencer-who, by the way,
was rather heavy in hand when he
undertook to play story teller. Apropos
Of Huxley's humor he described a din
ner of distinguished authors:
Over their cigarettes they fell to dis
cussing their various methods Of com
mencing to write. One said he wrote
and wrote, tore up. then wrote again.
and SO on.
George Iewes, who was present,
looked surprised, and then cried out:
"Oh, I'm not like that. l commence
to write at once, directly the pen is In
my hand. In fact, I boil at a low tenn
perature."
'Indeed," cut in Mr.. Huxley, "that
10 very interesting, for, as you know.
to boil at a low temperature implies a
vacuum in the upper region"
Lewes himself was the first to lead
the shout Of laughter which of course
greeted this clever repartee.

THE VANISHING WEST.


Chicago Tribune: a recent writer
recorded the fact that in the Uniued
States there no longer is a west,
meaning by that word the distant
place to which pioneers make their
way, where wild animals are found
in abundance, where the Indian is a
factor to be feared, where mankind
takes on certain rough Characters
tics, uses a peculiar language, wears
a striking and picturesque earb.
The railroad and the telegraph have
eliminated space. Immigration and
the westward movement of native
population have filled up the land.
Substantial homes stand where the
cabin was built. The lawless and
the adventures have given place to
the peaceful and law-abiding, and
the western man has taken his po-
sition in the great mass of Americans
with little to distinguish OF differ
entiate him from other citizens.
This process OF transformation has
been slow and gradual, 80 gradual,
indeed, that only occasionally one
aHakes to the realization that a
type OF citizenship has disappeared
completely or a custom or character
istic Of a former day has entirely
vanished. Now and then magazine
article describes the attempts to de-
yelop small herds of a buffalo which
once roved the plains in great num-
hers, emphasis being laid upon the
difficulties Of such effort at saving
IN animal type. The plans for the
formation Of a state out Of Indian
territory tell their own tale of the
change in the lite OF the wandering
red man who was assigned lands
there in exchange for lands given by
q treaty of the year 1928, which
stated that the homes thus granted
should be permanent, "a home that
shall never in all future time be en-
barrassed by having extended
around it the lines, or placed over
1t the jurisdiction of a territory or
state, noI be pressed upon by the ex-
tension in any way of any of the
limits Of any existing territory or
state The disappearance OF the
buffalo and the change in the life of
the IndianSare two examples where
many might be cited.
There still will be movements of
population toward desirable regions
beyond the Missouri. Homeseekers
will stillsfnd inducements to settle
Ia the river valleys or on the
plains where Irrigation methods have
reclaimed arid lands, but these
migrations Will be devoid Of those
peculiar scharacterislics which once
marked settlements on the frontier
and the dif1culties and dangers
of the pioneer Of yesterday will be
but traditions to the westward NOV
ing citizen OF today.
