A PurlOined POme..

st. Peter sits at the heavenly gates,
his hands on the strings of his Tyre; and
he sings song as he patiently waits for
the souls OF thoss who expire. He hears
in the distance chorus of song that
swells from the foot of the throne, and
he smiles as the music is waited along,
and he MARBLES lay of his own" There
is room in this region for millions of
souls, who by sorrow and woe are be-
rett; tbs for those who have suffered the
melody rolls, but the kickers must turn
to the left. There is room for the peo-
pie who, when they we're young persist
ed in sowing wild oats, yet doomed up
their town with sinew and tongue, but
the kicker must go with the goats.
There is room for the people who point
ed With pride to the beauty and 6 owth
of their town, who kept singing its
praises loud till they died, but the kick
ers will please amble down. They'd
say that the music was all out of tune,
and the angelic gown hand me down,
and for a jeweler they'd send to the
moon to sample the gold in their crown.
So, while there is room for a million of
souls who by sorrow and woe are be-
reft, we want no complaint of the music
that rolls. so the KicKers must turn to
the left"

Grafton. We continue at a rapid
rate towards Colorado which we
pass through during the night.
On opening our eyes next MORN
ing we find ourselves on the
plains of Kansas. wheat green,
church bells ringing, fine farm
homes with evidence Of prosper
ity, large, fat steers that had
been fed on the golden grain.
Being Sunday, farming and all
business interests were hushed
for the day. To see the busy
world stop her hustle for one day
at least and look to the Giver of
all Good surely is commendable.
The whole day was spent in view
ing the beautiful state of Kan
sas, arriving at Kansas City in
the evening. l was made to be-
lieve that Kansas City was the
greatest railroad town we struck.
Miles upon miles of track, hun
dreds and thousands of freight
cars in almost any direction.
Here we again turn our faces
northward, boarding Great
Western train for St. Paul. We
again find snow in northern Iowa
and Minnesota. st. Paul is
reached in due time, where we
soon found ourselves safely land
ed on one of the famous G. N.
trains headed for North Dakota,
arriving at Minot safe and sound.
1 wish in conclusion to say that
we found that every place we
visited, as you notice in my let
tiers, that there are some very de-
sirable advantages over what you
think you now have, but don't
get discouraged and leave this
fair state without a very careful
investigation, because North Da-
kota is very hard to beat. Some
that have gone west say that the
Aeas bother their children almost
to death in the summer. Why!
at one place on the coast a lady
claims that they have q differ
ent varieties of feas; others say
they can't go barefo,ted on ac-
count of so many poisonous in
sects, and in the winter it~rains
all the time. Some in the South
say it is too hot and that the air
is odorous from the perfume of
niggers and alligators. Most of
us came to this state financially
embarrassed. Where can you go
to better yourself in every re-
spect? 1t is not all gold that
glitters; there will be lots Of dis
appointments, drouths, hot winds
and plenty of drawbacks. There
is comfort in a milder climate
if one has the whereWith to sup
ply his wants, but that's the rub,
whether it is better to suffer the
tortures of a few cold days or
forever be broke, hard up and
disappointed. Think what the
state has done for you before you
leave her and it's too late to get
your coal in; early prepare for
your stock before it begins to
snow and you will find that the
incest thing in cold weather is to
keep warm, and that you can
easily do so if you just use a lit
tie forethought. Think of sitting
beside a good warm stove with
your family and your stock COM
fortably situated and your wife
frying good porterhouse steak.
