From THE EspIorer /"

lhere's no sense IN going farther
~ the edge OF cultivation"
SO they said and believe n-broke
my land and sowed my crop
Built my barns and strung my fences
Ia the little border station
Tucked away below the foothills
where the trails run out and stop.
IN voice as bad as Conscience rang
interminable changes
On one everlasting whisper day and
night repented-so:
Something hidden Go and find IL.
Go and look behind the ranges
Something lost behind the ranges.
Lost and waiting for you Co"

that knew it
When | heard myself hallooing to

Very full OF dreams that desert. but
my two legs took me through II;
And | used TO watch 'em moving with
the toes all black and raw.
Wei, know who'll take the credit
all the clever chaps that fol-
lowed
Came a dozen men together--never
knew my desert fears:
Tracked me by the camps | quilted,
used the water holes I'd hol-
lowed
They'll go back and do the talking.
They'll be called the pioneers.
Yes, your "Never-never country" yes,
your edge OF cultivation"
And mo sense in going further

God forgive me. No. | didn't It's
Gods present TO the nation
Anybody might have found IT, but
His whisper came to me.

We extend a cordial invitation to
the public to examine collection
of newspapers from the most remote
parts of the world now on exhibit at
our office. These papers were sent
to us by the Chamberlain eMiicine
company, Des Moines, Iowa, and one
of the heaviest advertisers not only
in this country but in foreign lands.
A copy of each issue of every news
paper containing their advertisements
is sent to the Office of the Chamber
lain Medicine company as a proof of
the insertion of the advertisement.
The package sent to us Is selected
from these voucher copies. Some of
the papers bear names of places
which require us to recall forgotten
geography or refer to the atlas to
locate. Some of them are particu-
larry curious as they are published
in the vernacular or native languages
which might be likened to the care
fully written notes of a shorthand
writer.

HOW OUR MOTOR
CAR HAPPENED

An operation for appendicitis and
a trip to Europe resulted in the gasO-
line motor car which is revolutiOniZ-
ing railroading and promising to
drive the electric cars off long runs.
Some years ago E. III. Hartman
was ordered by his physician to take
the rest cure and to get as far away
from business as possible. preferably
to take an automobile trip through
Europe. Hartman went. took his
family with him, a few friends and
many servants. One dozen autOmO-
biles accompanied the party. There
were autos for the baggage, autos for
the servants, autos for the guests,
autos for the children and autos for
Mr. and Mrs. Hartman.
The first day out Hartman enjoyed
the scenery, but admitted that he
could improve it with a railroad or
two. The next day he wanted to get
out and tell farmer that he was not
blowing deep enough. He wished also
to tell yineyardist that he knew
nothing about pruning. but was dis
suaded from this by his family.
The third day he began to look into
the transportation equipment. He
learned exactly how many revolutions
each wheel had made, the quantity Of
gasoline consumed and the cost of
running per mile, estimated cost Of
wear and tear. No detail escaped
him. He reverted to the subject all
through the trip and made his own
observations. He tried experiments.
The rougher the road the more
pleased Hartman was with the work.
