SONG OF THE TREE.

Once out Of midnight sweet with mys-
terry
The wonder Of all wonders came TO be,
So shall the dawn a marvel make Of me,
For when in all my beauty l am born
In the first glimmer Of the Christmas
morn,
Angels Of innocence in mortal guise
Shall look upon me with their faithful
eyes;
And, looking, see
A greater thing i'm me
Than the bare figure of a tree.
Behold! i'm every limb
l thrill with praise Of him
For whom l stand in memory.
Kings of the east and wise men three
there were
Who brought to him rare frankincense
and myrrh.
So do my balsamed branches when they
stir
In the warm airs that move about this
room,
And render forth their homage in per-
fume.
Lift up your hearts anew, o, careworn
men
Look up with glad. believing eyes again:
And, looking, see
A greater thing in me
Than the bare figure Of a tree.
Behold! i'm every limb
l thrill in praise of him
For whom l stand in memory.

the nuns which they liked so much
that they asked him to come the next

second visit, which was also ON Il
Christmas eve, before going TO bed he
asked each of the nuns to lend him a

CHANCE. TO GET A FARM.

Secretary of the Interior Franklin
p. Lane, announcesthei immediate open
ing by the government to homestead
settlement of HOO acres contained
in the Fort Berthold, North Dakota)
Indian reservation. Registrations by
prospective homesteaders are now in
progress. Drawings will commence at
Minot, November 4.
These lands at the time of the orig
inal opening of the Fort Berthold
reservation in 1911 were reserved by
the government because of the sup
posed presence of considerable coal
deposits, but the department of the in
terror now has decided to open the
lands to surface homesteading, the
only reservation being that the title to
any coal existing therein shall remain
with the government for the benefit OF
the Indians of the Fort Berthold dis
trict. This arrangement insures the
development by the homesteader of a
desirable agricultural section of North
Dakota.
The Fort Berthold lands lie in
Montreal and Mclean counties reached
from the city of Minot, include lands
designated by the government as first
class agricultural lan-3s, second class
agricultural lands and grazing lands,
and are adapted to the growing of
hard wheat, barley, alfalfa, potatoes
and other hardy vegetables.
