GIRL DRIVES MAIL
COACH IN DAKOTA
PLUcKY SIxTEEN-YEAR-oLD MAID
RUNS STAGE ON LONELY
TRAIL.
IS IDOL OF THE COWBOYS
Takes Up Fathers Work When Health

Waymen and Billiards Don't
Terrify Her.

Mile, S. DIFF bold bandit should
step out from behind a clump of BUSH
es on the lonely trail between this
place and Washington Springs and de-
mand that the dust-covered mail stage
halt he would be faced by small de-
termined looking girl behind a small
determined looking revolver.
The girl would be Miss Della Spain,
who has recently celebrated her six
tcenth birthday and is known as the
Quickest lassie in the land of the Da-
kotas.
Four trips a week, 2O8 miles in all,
does Della make in the stage, Journey
ing fifty-two miles each way, and a
difficult trip it is. Lighter and less
cumbersome than the old-fashioned
rumbler, perhaps, but still very much
the genuine article is the stage that is
driven by the winsome little maid
in her cowboy garb, with kerchief
knotted loosely about her slender
throat and broad sombrero browning
her curly locks, as picturesque a fig
ure as ever stepped out before the
footlights in a play of the Wild West.
Though so thoroughly the girl of the
plains, Miss Della is quite able to hold
her own in the social world, for the
little girls father was too proud of
his daughter not to give her all the
advantages that could be had, al
though many a sacrifice it cost him.
Unlike many giN for whom much
has been done, the little maid of the
plains was not unmindful of the effort
that had been put forth, and when the
time came that her father, himself the
driver of the stage and mail carrier
over the route from Miller to Messing
ton Springs, failed in health and
strength by reason of exposure to the
elements and long years of driving
little Della instantly took up the work.
At first her fathers affection for
babe the thought of such sacrifice,
but with clear business logic she
pointed out to him the hiring of men
to drive the stage would eat up all
the profits and also open the way for
him to be deposed; so he gave up to
her.
THAT was a long time ago, and for
many months little Della has been per-
forming all the duties Nof the regular
messenger of Uncle Sam, as well as
carrying out! the usual side lines of
the mail carriers of the plains, thus
earning a few pennies in addition to

A REAL MAN.

Leaving women out Of the question,
a mana real man-is about the
noblest work OF God. A real man
isn't a narrow, lop.sided, fanatical re.
ligionist; he isn't sordid, selfish,
grasping man In commercial life bent
on amassing millions he can have no
legitimate use for, and above all
things else he isn't scheming politi-
clan seeking hOnors at the expense OF
his keener moral sensibilities and the
disadvantage Of public service. With.

tiOns OF real man, we are pleased to
give space TO an editorial comment on
one who comes near filling the

This recognition is fine thing to
those striving to upllft political life

The contrary has so long been the GUS
tom that il Is Il decided relief to find
It's opposite In the case OF Mr.. Hughes.
He did not wish the governorship, for

the pressure 10 nave him run both

improvement Of roads, will be of the
greatest help In the conduct Of forest
business, and especially In the control

public will also be stimulated by the
marking of roads and trails, giving
the direction and distance TO the

The governor

on the government. The governor
would have none Of II. He was there
to give the people an administration
solely in their interests. Senators and
assemblymen and lobbyists and those
who live of politics were made aware
OF this before Mr.. Hughes had been in
Office a week. The kitchen cabinet
was abolished and no privileges were
granted to those who had brazenly
demanded them. The humblest citi.
zen was as welcome to the executive
chamber as those who professed to
mold the political destinles OF the
commonwealth. This democracy did
not please those compelled to accept
1t If they had to have dealings with
the governor. They set to work to
block legislation not TO their fancy.
They found their match In the intrepid
and resourceful guardian OF the state.
He wanted certain measures passed
and, finding the way baked, did not
reason with the small souls responsible
for the delay. He took his bills to the
people and as he Is far and away the
ablest talker In the state government
he had no trouble In getting q hearing
and convincing the masses OF the
righteousness Of his Intentions. He
visited city and town In this purpose,
aud when the lawmakers found that
he and not they represented the senti.
ments Of their constituents they had
to back down and vote for his bills.
A less adroit, a less able man than
Gov. Hughes would have failed In this
method OF overcoming opposition to
lawmaking He never descended IN
abuse or anything savjring Of 1t. He
made simple argument in his case
and there let the matter stand. The
people decided In his favor every time.
No other governor Of this state ever
had the ready command Of language
that Mr.. Hughes employs. He likes
to make public addresses, something
which most Of our chief executives
shrank from, and Is at home with any
audience, no matter what It's person.
mel. He is so earnest and telling In
his words that honest folks are at
tracted to him at once and Re Yields
an influence that no other executive
has had with the people.
He does not desire the presidency.
He thinks that there are many men In
public life who, by familiarity with
national affairs, are SO much better
fitted for the place than he that he
smiles when thUse near to him men,
ton him as a possible contingency.
He was indignant when some thought.
less fellow suggested he should build
up a personal following to win the
nomination. That kind OF politics Is
loathsome to him, and he will never
ask any man to support him for any
kind OF an Office, or permit Others to
do 50 for him as long as he retains his
senses.
A fine governor is this Mr.. Hughes.

the FOREST RESERVES.

From time to time the Department
Of Agriculture sends out some very in-
teresting reading about the National
Forests A press review OF recent
date details the growth of the Forest
Reserves and the placing Of them on a
paying basis. For instance In 1901
and 1902 there we're but $4,000, 900
acres in the reserves, with total
gross revenue Of 1925, 900, total expen-
diture OF 1925, 900, and, necessarily, a
deficit of 100000. In l9O6-O7, the &C.
reage had grown to Isl 100000, the
total gross revenue to sl,53OOOo, the
total expenditure to $l,40l 1852, and
the deficit changed to net gain Of
sl2S, $3.50.
In speaking of The last years work,
the Forest bulletin says;
"The institution OF charge for
grazing In the Forests, with the adop.
ton of regulations to prevent damage
to the range, and with satisfactory
allotments Of territory, both between
the cattle owners and between indi-
vidual owners Of the same kind of
stock, were important accomplish

Planting operations are at present
centered in 5 nurseries within or near
as many different forests. There are
now on hand total of 100000 seed

series have been established long
