While there is no doubt but that wheat
can be grown succ cessfully in the western
Dakotas, yet that fact is only an entering
wedge to the favorable solution of the
entire question Of small-grain cropping.
One Of the most vital points yet unde-
cided, is the class Of wheat most de-,
;sirable 10 grow. The introduction into
the field few years ago of i wheat from
Russia, now commonly known as durum
or rmacaroni wheat, seemed epoch-mak-
ing as far as. dry land agriculture is con-;
cerned. While this wheat in the field Isl
doing, probably, all that was hoped for
itsaslfar as thewestern Dakotas is con.
cerned, yet it is meeting with much
opposition after it leaves the threshing
machine. This is certainly very unfort-
urate as far as the region indicated is
concerned as its ready acceptance at
what is believed to be its full value
would mean q greatly increased amount
of1wealth q the dry areas. 81,
The opposition to durum wheat and
its. Hour seems to be- two-fold. The
milleTs, and incid dentally the elevator
men. object to il, ostensibly because Of
the difficulty in grinding the wheat and
alsos because Of the difficulty of dis
posing Of the flour. The American bread
eater also objects, indirectly, to .durum
wheat as the durum wheat bread is gem
orally darker than that made from the
common wheats, and in some instances
ofpoorer quality. r ss5 stg

CUSTOM OF YUMA INDIANS.
Burning the Dead. One Of Their In
terestine Ceremonies.

Burning the dead as observed
among the Yumas is interesting. The
body is first thoroughly wrapped and
then placed in logs and brush over a
hole in the ground. A bed of logs is
built up at each side and at the head
OF the bier, which is next covered over
and strewn about with dry fagots.
The flames are applied and, while they
burn, the clothing, blankets, etc., of
the deceased are added to the fire.
The horse of the dead man, however.
is not burned among the Yumas, as is
the custom with some Indians. A day
or two after death the wigwam of the
deceased, if an adult, is burned, the
rest of the family then going to live
with some relative The Yumas make
a great show of sorrow over their
dead. Later they are never mentioned
at all. The medicine men are still
largely in control among the Yumas,
and the government makes no attempt
to interfere. Usually their patients
grow sicker, so that they proclaim
them doomed to die and their proph-
ecy will almost always come true.

SIDEWALK TELLS A Fi6.
Jim Crosby Suffers Injustice Because
of NewfanoIed Invention.

1T all resulted from Jim Crosby's
wife's curiosity to know how Jim
passed his time while she was visit
ing her mother in the next town.
Jims wife had brother who ran a
novelty factory in the city, and she
induced him to make a musical side
walk about Is feet long, leading from
the street to the front door. 1t was
so fixed that when you stepped ON a
plank clear bell-like note was
struck. If you walked fast it played
quickstep. If slow and loafing like
it was a dirge. If you sidestepped it
was discord. And when you opened
and closed the door it registered just
the hour you arrived home. She
wound it up, good for eight days, and
went away contentedly.
Il shall remain at home every
night, DEAR says Jim, as they said
farewell.
You'd BETTER" says she.
"And the peculiar part of it was
Jim did stay at home. He had a re-
pentant spell and we couldn't get him
to bulge from the house for the whole
week. But we didn't know anything
about the musical sidewalk and little
rocked that 1t was piling up evidence
against Jim. You see, we got to run
ming up to Jim's door at odd hours
and dancing teasing morris on the
walk, just to coax him out. We heard
lively music when we did 1t, and sup
posed Jim was playing some instru-
ment inside to accompany us. And
he thought we were serenading him.
Then he'd often come to the window
and grin denial to our prolonged in
vitation and at last go away.
well, when his wife got back she
produced the dial and records aud his
eyes bulged when she told him what
had been keeping tabs on his exits
and entrances.
sim mighty glad was good he
sighed with relief
Then she opened the mechanism
and gave a scream. For all our carry
ings-on were faithfully recorded. The
first record showed he had spent the
night dancing on the walk to the
tune of Don't Treat My Baby So
From the second record she deduced
he was repentant and sentimental, as
it showed staggering effort, accom-
panied by She Is Sleeping in the
Valley by Request. And so on for
the entire week. OF course, we all

No one could tell just how II hap
pened, or when, but at the last count
the two carbines spoke simultaneously
and Camilla sank at the feet Of the
brigAtd chief with a bullet in her
breast, De Gomara's right arm was
perforated by the ball from the enc
mys detected weapon. With q strange
cry, Moreno stopped and lifted the
stricken girl. Then he looked across
the gorge.
"A truce, gentlemen" he said; "the
lady's hit. will Senior de, Gomara
please come over? My men win guide
him and protect him"
Moreno walked down the narrow
cliff roadway and then disappeared In
rude shanty on the mountain side.
When the hacendado entered a few
minutes later he saw the brigand on
his knees beside the cot, the dying
girls arms around his neck. Her eyes
we're looking into his with pathetic
devotion.
They made me do 1t, my dear
Moreno" she murmured; thou wilt
forgive poor Camilla, who never
ceased to love thee?"
The brigand run his hand through
the tawny tresses and whispered some
thing no one else heard. The dark
eyes smiled; then closed forever. For
a moment or two the hunted man
knelt with bowed head Then he arose
and looked into the face of the one
with whom he had fought
Her last words were of love and
forgiveness" he said, with curious
trembling of the voice. Il imagine
she mistook me for you"
The hacendado's eyes frightened.
Heaven be praised!" he exclaimed;
Il feared she loved you"
mot likely" returned Moreno, with
affected carelessness, Il had heard
of her in-in general way-thats all.
Her dust is yours.

a SAUSAGE secret.

DR.. John L. Morse of Boston, an au-
thority on pure foods, said recently
that the public could not expect pure
food at low price.
Take milk, for instance ne said.
Milk absolutely pure cannot be sold
to-day under Is cents a quart.
And SO, till we are willing to pay
for genuine article, imitation arti-
cles, adulterated articles, will be sold
to us,
"And the morality of the dealers
will grow worse and worse, till, finally,

Copyright. 1906, by Daily Story Pub. co.
She was such little thing, and .,
nsed to bow her tawny head at thu
caprices Of earth, air and sky, tia
nothing was further from her parents
minds than her reluctance when thu
lord Of San Jose valley condescendet
to ask his Woodworking poems To-
their daughter. Just why Camilla'i
glowing, black eyes should flush with
tears instead OF shine with delight a
the great honor was beyond the di
vination of the star readers, and she
never told. The marriage of thC
daughter meant the liberty of the par
ents. The big hacendado had sworn
1t. He was good man and would
keep his word. Camilla knew that
The prelado who was to perform the
ceremony had called to congratulate
He told her any maiden in the prov
ince would be rightly proud to win
the love of de Gomara, and left her
quite dutiful.
The wedding was fine affair.
Looking like some glorious bird OF
the tropics, the little bride smiled
sweetly beside her lordly husband and
extended soft white hand to we'll
wishing friends. Military men from
the Alajuela mountain garrison
formed a fair proportion of the guests,
and their smart uniforms blended
artistically in the sparkling panorama
under the chandeliers.
The perfume of rare flowers, the
languorous melodies of CASTLE and the
subtle magnetism of bright eyes that
outshone their own diamonds chased
the glad hours away. In groups Of
two to ten the guests were scattered
about the verandas and the softly
lighted lawns. AS they walked side
by side under the shadow of the date
palms the young husband was gently
breathing the story of his first love
to the starlit face beside him. In
words of boyish enthusiasm he
sketched the rose-strewn way along
the velvet path of life. She listened
as glad child and for answer raised
her warm, trembling lips to his. A
tall streak of fire shot out from the
sullen mouth of Carriage volcano.
ITS the birth of love-" murmured
the adoring husband; its a good
omen, sweetheart
Camilla assented, her coral lips
showing the white gems beneath.
They had reached the far end of the
lawn where de Gomara stopped and
raised his hand to the star-decked
heavens.
May thy richest blessings"
Quicker than the stealthy action of
a tiger two dark-eyed men came out
of the shadows and, leaping upon the
gagged him and bound his
hands. Then as swiftly and as noise
lessly they gently picked up Camilla
and gently passed her across the
hedge, where a sinister crew of dark
figures awaited, like vampires of the
Iwamps.

against the bandit captain by federal

bank at Alajuela some moons back,

and lived.
Under the tropic heavens, through
