In this day and age, says Dr.. vaert-

far greater importance and value to
children than mere wealth.
That great men seldom have highly
talented sons, DR.. Vaerting declares.
in such cases, he says, has shown that
such men generally have married late In
life, or have married women much
than themselves.
1T il a well-known fact that young
men sre nearly always attracted by and

II Is a mans healthy instinct at work
There is q period in the life of every
man and woman when nature conveys
to and implants In children the highest

of inheritance that should be given by
those who desire that their children
should be great. To transplant these
qualities to offspring. men should MARI
between the ages OF eighteen and tYen-
ty five, and they should select as wives
women from three to six years oldes
than themselves. \ woman should not
marry until she Is twenty-three. AT
that age she should marry a man not
older than eighteen or nineteen. That
makes for happiness in married life"

Roman. Mont. Is convincing proof that
at last right start has been made to-
ward the actual preservation Of the
American bison. which once roamed
these Western plains in such countless
numbers.
The Government ID now cooperating
with the American Bison Society in the
first well-planned effort TO keep the buf-
falo from extinction. A tract Of land at
the southern end of the Flathead reser-
walton has been set aside. twenty-nine
square miles having been purchased Of
the Indians at $1.50 an acre. The tract
was selected on account Of its many
natural advantages.
The valleys and slopes are covered
with the natural wild grasses, including
the curling nutritious buffalo grass. Tho
hills are crowned with timber. springs
are found in q number Of places and the
Mission river flows across one corner Of
the tract The buffalo reservation is
fenced in with woven wire, at cost of
$1S,0o0, and the twenty-five miles Of
fence must be patroled once a week.
r. A. Hodges. an old-time plainsman,
has been selected as the keeper Of the
herd. and with his wife and daughter
lives in one corner Of the buffalo range
in very comfortable quarters provided
by the Government. Mr.. Hodges has
his own Irrigation scheme, and waters
a sufficient tract to provide hay for his
horses and vegetables for his family.
