a higher and better thing to run your

written by James w. Foley. This tells
how l'feel and think though never could
express il:
Like to come and see yctls daddy, and
perhaps ! will some day:
Like to come back east and visit, but
wouldn't care to stay.
Glad you're doing well and happy; glad
you like your country best
But, for me- always hunger for the
freedom of the West.
There's wholesomeness about it that
couldn't quite explain,
Once you breathe this air you love 1t
and you long for it again;
There's tie you can't discover in the
splendor OF i:s sky
It's just home to you forever and
can't just tell you why.
It's 50 big. and broad and boundless and
its heaven is so blue
And the metal of its people always
rings so clear and true;
All fs~billowed acres CULVER like a
shudder of the sea
And its waves roll, rich and golden,
in upon the shore for me.
Why. your farm and all the others that
we used to think so fine
Wouldn't-lump EN- all together
make corner lot of mine;
And your red clover pasture. with its
gate of fence rails barred,
Why, it wouldn't make grass plot
in our district school house yard.
Not foot has touched its prairies but
is longing to.-return,
Not an eye has seen the sunset on its
western heavens burn
But looks back in hungry yearning, with
the memory grown dim,
And the zephyr of its prairies breathes
the cadence of hymn
That is sweet and full of promise as
the 'Beulah Land" we knew
When we used to sit together in the
queer old fashioned pew,
And at eventide the glory of the sun and
sky and sod
Bids me bare my head in homage and
in gratitude to God.
Yes, l,loye you daddy, love you with, q:
heart that's true as steel,
But there's something in Dakota makes
you live and breathe and feel:
Makes you bigger, broader. better; makes
you know the worth of toll;
Makes you free as are her prairies
and as noble as her SOIL
Makes you kingly as a man is; makes
you manly as king;
And there's something in the grandeur
of her seasons sweep and swing
That casts of the frettlng letters of your
East and marks you blest
With the vigor of the prair,es-with
the freedom of the Vest

fact Of an assessed valuation of $1o6, 462,-

more than billion dollars We have 36S

greater amour, than can be shown by any
other state, and, mark you, this per capita
value was more equitably distributed than
could be possible in any state OF the east.
The new northwest portion of the state
holds and sus,ans population of 10000

To be sure the blight. insect pests,
the various scale, worms and caterpil.
lars that infest shade as we'll as fruit
trees, are not an encouragement to
tree planting, but the Investigation
and the methods which the state and
national governments are making to
subdue or eradicate the pests lead TO
the hope that with little effort on the
have relief from the devastation now
going on. There is nothing that adds
more TO the value and the appearance
of a lot or farm than we'll grown trees,
and as it will soon be time for Aut-
umn planting-the best season of the
year in the opinion of many for such
work it is we'll to direct the atten
tion of farmers or owners of property
along country highways, to all act of
the assembly of 1879, which was mem
toned some months ago in The Morn
ing News and which provides Per-
sons planting trees on road sides to be
allowed credit on road tax. Any per-
son liable to road tax, who shall trans
plant II the side of the public high
way on his own premises any fruit,
shade or forest trees of suitable size
shall be allowed by the supervisor of
roads where roads run through OF
adjoin cultivated fields in abatement
of his road tax one dollar for every

shall be placed nearer than seventy
feet. no row of maple or other forest
trees nearer than fifty feet, except
locust, which may be set thirty feet
apart: and no allowance as before
mentioned shall be made unless such
trees have been set out other year pre-

force obviously cannot help, but must
necessarily hinder, tie removal of OBJ
stacles. since itself has already sapped
the very qualities essential to success
and broken the power of resolu tion.
Moreover, constant brooding often
brings TO pass the very thing dreaded.
which otherwise would not have hap
pened. We all have noted instances of
the making up of a story from moth.
ing, and its telling and retelling so
many times that ultimately the author
himself honestly believes it to be true
So with worry. beginning with doubt
and mere imaginings, procdeeding by
steady stages through more definite
apprehension TO settled expectation.
and finally eliminating in actual re-
alizstion. Even though his conclus-
ion be not reached, it often happens
tnat a mere fancy feeds and feeds and
grows aud grows, until the contin-
uous thought becomes SO dominant
that the effect of the dread becomes as
harmful as that of the uufulfilled re-
ality would have been. Yet more SER
ious is the deprivation of aid from
others brought about by the transfer
ence Of impression.
The fact is, worry becomes habit,
and grows on person if he or she al
lows it. 1t can be overcome if per.
sou so wills. 1t is not an incurable
trouble. If one recognizes the folly of
regret with appreciation of the fact
that worry is never over actual, but
always over imaginary ills, and is uu.
necessary as it is unwise and ineffi-
cient, long step will be taken to-
wards the definite elimination of the
chief bane of mankind.
