The Western Trail, paper pub
lished by the Rock Island
Railr DAD Co. has the following ar
ticle with picture of former Reno
County girl. Miss Leta Abbott OF
of Meade County, Kanaas, young
girl wha has 'd)ne something"
When she was eleven years of age
her father moved from Reno to
Meade County, Kansas. Th. house
hold goods were loaded into two
"prairie schooners." one drawn by
six horses, driven by the father and
the other by four driven by this
little girl. The trip although made
late In winter over bad roads, was
successfully accomplished, and dur
Ing the following spring and summer
Leta and her little sister, then nine
years old, earned 5000 breaking
prairie sod. In the fall of 1906 she
unaided. drilled over I, 900 acres of
wheat. This work has not been
forced upon these girls but has been
done by them as matter of choice;
they have been happier driving a
three or four horse team to a plow
or drill over the boundlcss prairies
of their chosen home state than
in pla, ing around the house. They
have not neglected their studies OF
reading, and are as modest could be
wished. Of such as these will be
fth= mothers and bumemakers of the
next generation of sturdy, clear
Drained men aud women of the great
Southwest, destined in few year:
to be the garden spot of the CONT
nent
If such a girl lives in Meade Co
we do not know her.

CYPRESS KNEES.
How They Are Formed-Trees' Curious
Blunt Roots.

How They Are Formed-Trees' Curious
Blunt Roots.
The cypress knee is Il familiar object
in all the lowland forests Of the south,
but there are thousands of northern
people who have never seen them and
there are many southern people. too.
who have not seen them till they
stumbled over them some dark night.
The knee is of solid wood, has no limbs
or leaves, is anywhere from six inches
to six feet in height, and its rounded
top and fiattened sides give it very
much the shape of human leg bent at
the knee till thigh and calf are brought
together; hence the appropriate name
of knee"
For number of years | was curious
as to what part the knees played in
the life of cypress tree, writes cor
respondent of Forest and Stream. for
they are part of it's root system and do
not grow independently. They were
not sprouts. trying to grow into trees,
for they never developed branches. and
the final conclusion was that their only
use was for people to stumble over.
How and why such useless appendages
to the tree were formed was mys-
terry until one day when drifting down
a deep channel which had been washed
through a cypress swamp the secret
was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots of some of the trees,
and roots in all stages of growth were
in sight. None Of these roots was less
than two and one-half inches thick and
of uniform size clear to their tips or
rather clear to their blunt ends, for
there was no tip.
Nature intended these roots to grow
in soft mud, and they were all right
for that purpose, but when the blunt
end of a root encountered something
too hard to push through it bent or
buckled in the line of least resistance,
and this was generally toward the top
Of the ground, and the continuing
growth of the root pushing the bend
further upward made the bend closer,
Until finally the two arms Of the bend
were close together and they grew to-
gether, with one sheet of bark inclos-
ing both.

Northern Pacific is planning on
building a new depot at Washburn
