THE MAKING OF THE WEST
HardshiDs from which spriru
Western Greatness and
Power.

recall one woman l met in a little
graVel-roof log-house-i in the dry hills of
Idaho. eighty miles from the railroad.
she had a stngularly attractive face, and
her home though poor, was as neat as a
pin. She probably did not see a visitor
once a week, and during the day. while
the men were at work, she was entirely
alone except for her two small children
asked her if she did not grow lonely.
"oh, no." she replied; there are the
Peterses over there"-a speck on the
s~ase-covered hills-"and the Warrens
over there"-and she shaded her eyes.
and looked off across the sun-blindine
| Plain to another speck on the horizon
and nearly every day some team passes
on the way 70 the Basin
The nearest school was twenty-six
miles away, so she mad to teach her own
chlldren; the nearest doctor was eighty
miles, She told me with a catch in her
voice how one Of her children. a little
girl had been down with scarlet fever
the winter before. The snow lay deep
on the hills, so that even the mail-car-
rier, who usually came through twice a
week, could not break a road. Her hus-
band, however, saddled his morse and
started, leaving her alone with the child.
He was gone four days. and when he
came back, half-dead with fatigue, hav-
ing walked the last twenty-five miles,
for his horse was utterly worn out, he
brought only the word thai the doctor
would not come. And so they watched at
the baby's bed until the little thing was
out of danger.
1t is difficult for people in an old, set
tied country TO realize what pioneering
in the west, even today, really means.
For though the country is rapidly settI-
ing up, The distances are enormous. the
roads often rough, and communicable
with the outside world is uncertain. Some
OF the counties OF the northwest are as
large as the smaller eastern states. From
a place where I once stopped IN Wyom-
ing il required five days hard travelling
TO reach the county seat, a distance, by
the only road, Of over 80 miles. l was told

But II is by these hardships of the TRAN

floater is one OF the most evident signs,
himself somewhat Of a failure, of the in
vading army OF civilization. He is the
spume which the inundating wave Of hu-

soon lie deep and lasting over all the west.

A SCHOOL IN A FOREST,
An Indiana Seminary in an Attractive
Location.

Beautiful st. Mary-of-the-Woods is what
the large institution for girls at st. Mary's,
Ind, is called by those who have had the
pleasure of visiting 1t. 1t is only a short
distance from Terre Haute, with which II
is connected by electric line and railroad,
and is conducted by the Sisters of Provi-
dence, the superior being Sister st. Glenn
ent. Ten young women were graduated at
the recent commencement. One of the
graduates was the third generation to at
tend the school, both her mother and
grandmother having been graduates.
Founded in the wilderness sixty-seven
years ago, with only a tiny cabin for
shelter, 1t now may boast of the most beau
tiful collection OF buildings and one Of the
finest churches in the west. The main
building is four stories high and elegantly
furnished as well as of great architectural
beauty. The large forest trees on the ex-
tensive campus still make the name of the
school a most appropriate one. The sylvan
surroundings, the retired location and the
superior character of the academic work
and refined influences render this one of
the best institutions for young women in
the country.

COLLEGE ~AMUSEMENTs.
Decentralization Wrought and Val
liable Time Wasted.

Chancellor McCracken of New York uni
versity spoke in his commencement ad-
dress upon the Generalization wrought by
the amusement idea in the modern col
lege. He intimated hat the time spent
by one-third of the students. especially
in the largest colleges, is worse than
wasted. He said Lord Bacon's division
of time into one-third for sleep, one-third
for recreation and prayers and one-third
for work was observed at college, except
that the one-third for work was given up
largely to athletics, college societies, col
lege politics and just enough study to keep
the name of the student on the college
rolls. He declared he was not accusing
American universities of encouraging idle
ness, dissipation and frivolity, but that
even colleges of great repute were not
succeeding in preparing men to study the
profession.

In Naples not long ago, a promi-

wife. Therefore he was an uxorcide,

Instead, the mercurial Neapolitans,
influenced by hysterical press,
which described the prisoner as a
man of great talent, If not genius,
placed him upon pedestal; made
hero of him, in fact.

When called to the stand the

of his love for art, stunted by daily
