pose upon suspectible mentalities.
l have always immensely enjoyed
his faying of the Gypsy Smith
contingent. Gypsy, a few weeks
ago, conducted revival meeting
at Denver, which resulted in one
or two persons becoming SO re-
ligiously enthusiastic they became
mentally deranged. Gypsy, like
others of his calling, collected con-
siderable coin at the revival meet
ings. This briefly presents the
side which aroused the Sage of
Aurora, who so ably denounces
such types. As aforesaid [ have
enjoyed Fra's manner of writing
but-alas! there are two sizes to
every question. A lady, gray hair
ed and aged, lately said to friend:
you ought to have heard Gypsy
Smith in. He is grand"
Here we see Gypsy may do little
harm by presumptuous zeal to do
good, or again shekels and accom-
plish both. At any rate it is better
to make an attempt than not to do
so for every effort to accomplish
good may result in some harmful
ness. To joyously conclude, Ell
bert's views do the writer good by
logical preciseness, from his view
point, whereas scarcely think
Gipsy, Billy Sunday and others
would agree with the Sage Of
Aurora.

A TRIBUTE TO THE PIONEERS--THE
TRAIL BLAZERS AND C0NQUER0RS
tRoundup Rtcord.>

The story of this nation more than
that of any other nation of modern
days, is the story of immigration and
migration. 1t was founded by immi-
grants from England, Holland, Swed-
e1 and other European countries, and
naturally they made their homes
along the fringe of the Atlantic coast.
BY successive immigration and by
migration INLAND, the development of
the country has steadily progressed,
until today there is scarcely mile of
territory that is not inhabited by the
hardy settler. The migration has
necessarily been westward. lmme-
diately following the Revolutionary
war, and, i'll fact during the progress,
as the result of clark's expeditions
against the Indians. from the south
eastern settlements the restless and
venture-loving pioneer crossed the
Blue mountains of the Appalachian
range, and in like manner those fur
ther north crossed the Alleghanies
and together they settled npon the
virgin soil Of Kentucky, Tennessee
and Indiana, and even penetrated the
French territory along the watershed
of the Mississippi and Missouri.
That territory, all of which was in-
cluded afterwards in the Louisiana
purchase, had it's apex in the Gulf of
Mexico and it's base Immediately
south of the northwestern British po-
sessions, and which now includes the
fiOurishing states of Montana and
North Dakota.
On the acquisition of the Louisiana
purchase from France the flood of mi
grafton naturally and necessarily
went to the southwark instead Of
north, which was visited for many
long years only by the trapper or ex-
plorer. 1t was easy to go south, for
all that the early settler had to do was
to sail down the Illinois, the Ohio
and the Tennessee to the free and
abundant lands awaiting settlement
on either side of the Mississippi. At
that date, before the time of rail
