PIONEERS OF THE FRONTIER
Those Who Carved an Empire
From Wilderness.

No doubt the run Of the continent"
has improved the fiber of the Ameri-
can people. OF course, the well estab-

tive to seek the west; but in energy
and venturesomeness those who sought
the frontier were superior to the
average Of those in their class who
stayed behind. 1t was the pike rather
than the carp that found their way
out Of the pool. Now, in the main,

door Of opportunity left more children
than their fellows who did not Often
themselves members of large families,

blood. With land abundant and the
outlook encouraging, they married
earlier. In the narrow life of the
young West, love and family were
stronger interest than In the older
society; hence all married. Thanks
to cheap living and to the need of
helpers. the big family was welcomed.

little Of cities, manufactures, social
rivalry, luxury and a serving class, all
