tion, and badc him a last good-by.
Mildred did all she could in the way
of excursioning to enliven the dullness OF
their solitary life; but the beauties OF
nature palled upon Pamela's lively mind.
However the day might be occupied in
drives to distant scenes OF SURPRISING
loneliness. For Mildred those. evening
hours seemed unutterably long. and as
autumn deepened into winter her burden
seemed heavier to bear. Time brought
no consolation, offered 10 hope. She had
lost all that made life worth living. First,
the child who represented all that was
brightest, and fairest, and gayest and
most hopeful in her life next, the hus
band who was her life itself, the prop and
staff, the column around which every ten
drill of her being eentwined. There
was nothing for her in the future but a
life of self-abnegation, of working and
living for others.
She thought Of Enderby e,ery night rs
she sat in Silent melancholy beside the
hearth, where "A solitary log crumbled
slowly to white ashes On the marble, and
where the faint warmth had a perfume
of distant pine woods she thought of En-
derby and it's widowed master: Was he
living there still, or was be. too. a wan
derer? She had heard but little OF his
| movements since she left England. Pa
mela had written to him, and he had re-
| piled, but had said very little about him.
self.
Mildred thought Of that absent hus-
band with an aching heart. There were
| times when she asked herself If she had
done well-when she was tempted to tota!
surrender-when the pen was in her hand
ready to write a telegram imploring aim
to come to her-or when she was on the
point of giving orders for an immediate
return to England. But pride and prin-
ciplc alike restrained her. She had taken
her own course. she had made up her
mind deliberately. after long thought and
many prayers. She could not tread the
backward way-the primrose path OF sin.
| She could but pray for greater strength
for loftier purpose, or that grand power
of self forgetfulness which makes to'
heaven

Is there a school book trust? This
question has been raised by the recent
advance in the prices of certain standard
text books and school trustees at Chicago
have begun an investigation of the So
called book trust, or the American Book
Company. The latter concern has now
come out in the open with a long adver-
tisement in the leading daily and weekly
papers giving the statistics of the school
book publishing business. This asserts
that there are in this country now over
ITO independent publishers of school
books and that open and unlimited compe-
tition still prevails. Figures are quoted
showing that there is now $42,OOO,OOO
capital engaged in the school-book bust
ness and that out of that total no single
publisher has over $5,0O0,OOO. The ad-
yertisement says that the talk about a
trust in this line is merely an ogre con-
jured UP by rival publishers to injure the
American Book Company in the public
mind. Reference is also made to the
pending suit in Texas to determine wheth-
er this company is a trust or not. it being
said that the suit was inspired by the
thirty-six other houses competing for the
school patronage in that State.

Five Thousand New Homes.

Five Thousand New
Once more the country has witnessed
perhaps for the last time-h scene
which has been typical Of life in the
United States-the opening of a new era
of government land to settlers.
The scene this time was in Sout Da-
kota, and the area the Rosebud Indian
reservation, eight hundred and twenty
eight thousand acres, a large portion of
which is valued at twenty-five dollars an
acre. 1t was distributed, in quarter sec
ions of one hundred and sixty acres each,
among the somewhat more than five thou
sand fortunate applicants.
A great chapter of American history is
closing, for the upbuildins of the West
has been largely due to the free land pol
icy of the government, and that policy is
now p%erforce losing its former significance,
owing to the rapidly decreasing amount
of arabic public domain.
The change in times and conditions was
also we'll marked by this latest distribu-
ton of land. In pioneer days the home
steaders'' placed their families in "prai-
re schooners," and behind the plodding
oxen made their way slowly to the prom
Used land. Later, as in the Oklahoma
opening, they travelled by rail to the near
est station, and then, on horseback or
in light buggies, made a ~breakneck dash
for the coveted land. In the opening OF
the Rosebud reservation it was the auto
mobile which furnished the most conspic-
uous means of transportation.
The methods of distributing government
land nave been and are open to serious
criticism. Formerly it was FIRST come,
first served !" but as the crush and bru-
~talities of the Oklahoma dash" were in
tolerable, a system Of distribution by lot
was adopted.
For the somewhat more h five thou
sand lots just distributed, there were two
