myself thrust through this relation
with man so intimately connected
for a generation with our public life.
For six months had been in Missis-
sippi and Texas studying matters and
men, and now, just back from Natchi-
toches, felt that l had earned some
little rest
Vaguely in my conscience l felt
that, after all, my errand was justi-
own wishes and my own pride. The
farther l walked in the dark along
Pennsylvania avenue, into which final
ly swung after l had crossed Rock
bridge, the more l realized that per-
haps this big game was worcASlaying
in detail and without quibbfe as the
master mind should dictate.
Twas, indeed, young-Nicholas Trist,
of Maryland; six feet tall, thin, lean,
always hungry, perhaps trif1e freck-
led, little sandy of hair, blue l sup
pose of eye, although / am not sure;
good rider and good marcher, know;
something of an expert with the
weapons of my time and people; fond
of a horse and dog and rif1e-yes,
and glass and girl, if truth be told.
I was not yet 80, in spite of my west
ern travels. At that age the rustic of
silk or dimity, the suspicion of adj
venture, tempts the worst or the best
of us, I fear. Woman!-the very
sound Of the word made my blood
leap then. l went forward rather
bIithely, as I now blush to confess.

Next week two unusually large auction
sales will be held in the vicinity of
Langdon. One at Fred Poppe's place,
in north Harvey, on Monday, November
Doth and the other at Pat Scully's in the
Rosa Lake settlement, on Thursday,
November 23rd. Both are widely known
prosperous farmers, who have by years
of thrift got to where they can afford
to take life a little easier. The bills an
nouncing these sales show that the
horses stock and machinery which Auc-
tioneer Wienecke will offer on both of
the above dates is the best and most
complete that prospective buyers can
find anywhere in Cavalier county.
The first real snowfall of the season
occurred Thursday evening last week
when snow fell to the depth of three to
four inches during a storm which pre-
vailed during the greater part of the
night. At daybreak On Friday morning
the thermometer showed a minimum
temperature of 11o degrees below zero,
the first real cold spell during the win
ter of 1sll-l2. The appearance of real
winter, with snow covering the ground
and here to stay for five months, found
quite an acreage Of unthreshed fax
scattered over the county. The great
est drawback; however, which will con-
front the farmer with the opening up Of
next spring will be the amount of plow-
ing to be done before seeding is com
pleted. The situation is one that Is
likely to considerably reduce the acre
nge that would otherwise DO cropped
] next year.

The work OF archaeologists In this

A certain unity has been found in
the work. and the rock pictures and
writings have been divided into
groups, the most important OF which
is the Shoshonean. The work of the
Shoshonean group is found generally
In the Southwest, and seldom as far
East as the Mississippi Valley.
Many of the symbols found In the
most ancient cliff drawings are
