PIONEERS OF THE FRONTIER
Red-Blooded Men and Women Were
Those Who Carved an Empire
From Wilderness.


No doubt the run of the contineHyv
has improved the fiber OF the Ameri-
can people. or course, the we'll estab
lished and the intellectuals' had no mo-
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,
those who pushed through the open
door of opportunity left more children
than their fellows who did not. Often
themselves members of large families,
they had fecundity, as it were, in the
blood. With land abundant and the
outlook encouraging, they married
earlier. In the narrow life of the
young west, love and family were
stronger interests than In the older
society; hence all married. Thanks
to cheap living and to the need of
helpers, the big family was welcomed.
Living by agriculture, the west knew
little of cities, manufactures, social
rivalry. luxury and serving class, all

singing like the inside OF a beehive,
and then out of the hole popped
brand new fly, Just born.
My gracious, but he was a whopper,
and he almost frightened Jessie 80
that she cried, for you must remem-
Der that she was not very big when
she had the Sandman's cap on. and
she kept forgetting that the fly could
not see her or hurt her when she was
with the Sandman.
This fly was lots bigger than the
Ants told you about In the first
story. He had great long tongue,
almost as long as piece Of garden
hose. and he kept 1t rolled up in his
mouth just like your Daddy rolls up
his hose. He had two great big eyes
that Stuck out on the sides OF his head
as big as rubber balls, and each eye
had hundreds and hundreds OF little
eyes all over 1t, so that he could see
better. That is why 1t is so hard for
you to catch fly with your hands. He
can see behind him as well as he
can see in front. and he can Jump and
fly away quicker than a wink
Besides the funny tongue and the
funny eyes, this fly had two of the low
Hest wings, that you could see right
through, and they were colored just
like the rainbow. When he folded
them up they were right on top OF his
back, and that was where he had
them when he crawled out of the pile
of straw and sat still in the sun 10
dry his wings. for they were very new
and wet.
AS soon as they were dry he spread
them out and flew away. Like all
other flies he was very naughty. and
probably you would like to know Just
what he was going to do First he flew
over and lighted on the old horses
hack and bit him real hard, and then
he went over and bit the poor COW.
Wasn't that too bad They chased
him away by switching their tails at
him, so he hurried over TO the
screen door that led into the kitchen
and the very minute the door was
opened. in he slipped, as sly as you
please.
There on the table was some nice
cake for supper, so lie went over and
lighted on that and ate some OF 1t
without asking permission OF any.
body.
After this he crept into the garbage
pail where he got his feet very dirty
and then he flew right over to little
baby brother in the high chair and
wiped them on baby's face.
The Sandman was angry when he
saw the fly do all these naughty tricks
and he made up his mind that this fly
would have 10 go to Jail. He slipped
up beside the fly and whispered in his
ear that there was some sugar out in
the barn and he had better hurry up
and get It. The fly jumped up into the
air as soon as he heard about the
sugar and few out TO the barn and
the Twins and the Sandman went right
after him TO see the fun AS soon as
the spider heard the fly coming he
poked his shining gold head out of his
tunnel and the fly saw it and thought
it was sugar so he few right over and
lighted on the spiders net
There he stuck fast because when
he tried to get away the hooks on the
net held him tight, and the great big
red and gold and black spider skipped
across the web and tied the naughty
fly up with whole lot OF his silver
rope. And that served him Just right
