find hardships to encounter at best

to a considerable extent by sensible
cooperation.
II these girls have had any expert
ence in farm life it will be valuable
to them in their Western enterprise.
If they have not there is a great deal
they must learn, and it will be rather
surprising If they held out for the
fourteen months which Uncle Sam ex-
acts. Should they succeed in the
venture they will have proved that
they are made of the material of which
pioneers are made.

Five Courageous Girls.

According to the Louisville Courier
Journal, five Lafayette )Ind.( girls
are going to South Dakota to take up
homesteads. Each of them will enter
claim of 100 acres of land. They
will be required to live on the land
for fourteen months, after which it
will become their property.
1t requires a good deal of courage
to do that sort of thing. but II the
girls persevere in their undertaking
it will result politically. In the ceie-
brated Oklahoma rush many years ago
a Kentucky woman secured tract Of
land which eventually became very
valuable. Since that time there have
been many such instances. The In
diana girls will endeavor to secure
tracts OF land that adjoin each other.
Should they succeed In doing SO. they

comet came as close to this mundane
sphere as 1t will on May IS. 1910, so
he cannot speak from experience.
But astronomers have neat way of
figuring things down to fine point.
although they are dealing in millions
and billions as nonchanlently as the
corner grocer deals In pounds and
ounces, and he figures out safely for
us all during the visit of the comet.
The comet itself is travelling at a
rate of 100000 miles day which
expressed colloquially, is going some.
II it were a hot mass of metal or
nickel, or burning liquid, and II 1t
ran into terrestrial open switch OF
telesccped itself on Mother Earth,
there would undoubtedly be a cata-
clasm. But the comet is being steer
ed by power higher than that of any
train dispatcher ON the globe, and is
not liable to get off the main line.
When the nervous individual Is final
ly convinced that a headon or a rear
end collision is impossible. he i'm
mediately turns around and declares
that perhaps I'VE will all be smothered
by the comets tail. The writer in the
Century Magazine makes plain for his
fellow-men however. that even this
is a possibility so remote that it
can be placed in the category of the

such density that it would interfere
with the breathing of the inhabitants
of the earth even If the world pass

world.
This should be cheering news to
the worried individual who wonders
if his life insurance covers death by

Don't be Afraid Of the Comet.

There has been so much written
and published about the visit OF
Halley's comet that the nervously in
clined are lying awake at nights
wondering what they are going to do
when the heavenly visitor smashes
into the earth. Everything, from
absolute humiliation down to having
our eyes, lungs and houses filled with
comet tail, has been anticipated by
the ill-informed. 1t is. therefore with
satisfaction that we are
told by writer in the Century Msga-
