HIS WIFE WAS A WONDER.

When the news Of the death of the
Hon. Yonks Van DolSen reached
Wighanton it fell like a wet pail owe
the place. Richard Van Dolsen was In
the wild Missouri Mountains looking
up timber tracks that had been offered
at tempting prices, and Mrs. Van Dol
sen had to bear her sorrow alone. She
shut herself in her house and would
see no one but Miss Arsdale. When
she appeared again she was in deep
mourning and fled East with her sor-
row.
There was no one in Wighamton
who could boast of such distinguished
ancestry as the Van Dolsens, except
Hetty Arsdale, and she, poor girl, was
the last of her line. Poor in purse,
but rich in pride, Miss Arsdale was
a source of considerable worry to her
many friends in Wighamton. Being
an Arsdale, she could not stoop to
work, nor could she accept indiscrimi-
nate charity. She was, however, CRATE
full for opportunities to relieve her
good friends of the regrettable neces-
sity of destroying such things, as they
no longer could conveniently keep, In
doing this she thought she was doing
a favor and her friends respected her
pride. but found it extremely difficult
10 keep her alive and clothed.
Everyone said that it was really too
bad that the death of Yonks Van Dol
sen should occur at just the time 1t
did. three weeks before Miss Hetty's
wedding. Miss Hetty had long been
looked upon as a confirmed spinster,
but, after having passed the forty
mark some distance, had met n Hec-
tor McGregor. and their wedding day
was soon settled upon. Yonks Van
Dolsen nearly upset everything, and
Mrs. Van Dolsen went into black, shut
up her house and then went away.
Some days after Mrs. Van Dolsen
had left for the East, Richard Van
Dolsen arrived in Wighamton, and
while on his way home met his friend,
Tom Garrick, and the two men ex-
changed a hearty greeting, after which
Mr.. Van Dolsen asked about village
news and learned for the first of Miss
Arsdale's approaching marriage.
Garriek walking by the side OF his
old friend suddenly said, "Dick, l sup
pose you know Mrs. Van Dolsen has
gone East?" well no." said Van
Dolsen easily, but she rather expected
to leave before | got back" He looked
at Garrick curiously. why do you
look at me that way, Tom, there's
nothing wrong with Elizabeth. Is
there?"
No, not with Mrs. Van, Dick, but
Yonks Van Dolsen is dead" We'll, l
should say he was. Tom; it's certainly
time he was" But what is the joker"
Il guess you don't understand me,
Dick, | said Yonks Van Dolsen was
dead. Your wife felt his death deeply
and when she left for the East was
in heavy mourning for him."
Van Dolsen dropped the heavy valise
he was carrying and laughed until he
was completely out of breath and
the tears were streaming down his
face.

600 acres, or more than half of the
area of the total project, is rich tule
land covered by eight or ten feet of
water, and is to be drained and con
verted into over a thousand farms.
The topographic branch of the Geo

The fund provided by the bill would
be small as compared with the irri-
cation fund-it would approximate
half a million dollars a year and would
start off with about $1,000, 900, the re-
ceipts from the sales for the fiscal
year 1905 being ineluded-but on the
other hand the cost of drainage would
not be so great as that of irrigation.

cases would be far more simple and
less expensive; it is simply a ques-
ton as to whether the nation will see
the wisdom of setting its hand to this
work.
Another hland Empire.
In Florida the everglades alone-al-
most solid muck beds-would afford
an empire of some Z million acres: in
New Jersey and Virginia are vast
swamps, among them the famous Dis
NAL Swamp. In Illinois which is gen
orally regarded as a we'll settled agri-
cultural state, there are 4 million acres
of swamp land: in Michigan there are
nearly Is million acres. Fertile Iowa
has about . million acres of swamp
land In Minnesota there are almost
5 million acres of rich surveyed swamp
lands and huge swamp areas not yet
surveyed. Arkansas has tremendous
swamp areas which could be drained
and made habitable, and in all there
is a swamp area in the eastern half of
the United States which is equal in ex-
tent to the great agricultural states

three or four smaller eastern states

seems to be 10 reason why this work
