Railroad in the Rosebud.

Sioux Falls.-The coded portion Of
the Rosebud reservation in Mellettt
county, which is being entered THE
week under the homestead law by
those who were fortunate enough to
draw farms of 100 acres there at the
government land lottery last month,
is without railroad facilities, the lea
est railroad being at Winner, Trip
county. This is the Chicago & North
western, and the residents of the ced.
ed portion of Mellette, from recent de-
velopments, are confident the Winner
line will be extended into Mellette
county this summer. Just what point
will be selected for the terminus Of
the Mellette county extension is not
known, but it is believed the road
will be extended to White River,
county seat Of the new county. The
construction of the railroad will result
in Mellette county becoming one Of
the most prosperous in the southern
portion of the state and will prove Of
great benefit to the new towns which
already have been established there.

GREATEST LESSON OF LIFE
The One Thing Above All That a
Woman Should Be Quick to Learn
and Remember.

The woman who makes good must
be blessed with strength and health,
and an ambition to learn and take ad'
vantage of every opportunity that
comes her way. She must work with
all her heart and play with all her
heart; above all things avoiding in.
difference.
Hers is the temperament that rec
ognizes that encouragement is all
nice and pretty, but If one is going to
do the thing that counts one doesn't
need it; that refuses to be dismayed
by repeated failures and that has a
certain faith that what has been done
by many may be done by another;
that nobody goes through lie withou,
disappointments, heartaches and the
breaking of pet illusions, that there Is
nothing more common than trouble
but that 1t is the wise ones OF earth
that keep II in the background. That's
the great lesson of life.-EXchange.

Success of Graduates.

Brookings.-The success Of recent
graduates of the South Dakota State

institution. Charles Johnson, who
graduated in Engineering in 1910, has
an excellent position with the B.. c.

you hear the voice OF application
not of worshippers nor of mendicants,
diOus gongs and OF the %"whacking fat
cheroOt" made famous by Kipling's
On the Road to Mandalay." When at
last you reach the topmost stair and
are confronted by the base OF the
golden dome-fOr the Shwe Dagon Is
an overtowering cone that uprises d.
rect from a s%tone-paved platform in
stead of from some forms of geometric
walls-a surprise awaits you.
This dome that you saw hours ago
for 1t is n Of the most conspicuous
landmarks that the hand OF man has
uplifted In the east-is not itself a
temple to be entered with unshod feet
and irreverent heart. 1t is but a
cleaning tower that thrusts itself up
ward from a village of temples, each
OF which is itself a marvel OF archi-
tectural beauty or a monument Of
tawdry ornamentation.
But the Shwe Dagon has a lovelier
aspect when you turn from the pagoda-
jewellers to the streams of devout visi-
tors that empty into the square from
each of its four gateways. The Bur-
mese seem to worship in family groups
and they have the pleasant habit OF
arraying themselves In their brightest
garments before ascending to the
great house of prayer. 1t is no I'M
common sight to see a dainty little
lady performing her genuiections be-
fore a shrine, with the stump of a
very fat and very black cigar pro.
truding at a n%onchalant angle fros-
her tiny mouth.
We saw much more in Rangoon-
we OF the "Cleveland" pilgrims to so
many sacred places-but this Is the
one overtowering memory of Rangoon.
