labors in the capital Of that great land
which they had won for the republic
Their Offices in title were distinct yet
scarcely so in fact. for each helped the
other, as they had always done.
To these two men the new territory

cry, but its early passing over to the
day Of law and order. No other men

river, striking out into the new lands,
a headstrong, turbulent and IawIess
population.
A thousand new and petty cares
came to Governor Lewis. He passed
from one duty to another, from one
part Of his vast province to another,
travelling continually with the crude
methods Of transportation Of that pc
Rod and busy night and day. Courts
must be established. The compilation
OF the archives must be cared for. Rec
ords must be instituted to clear up the
swarm Of conflicts over land titles.
Scores Of new duties arose, and scores
Of new remedies needed to be devised

tai Of st. Louis. the new governor was
also the central figure Of all social ac-
tivities, the cynOsure Of all eyes. But
the laughing bellies Of St Louis at
length sighed and gave him up. They
loved him as governor since they
might not as man. Wise, firm, DELHI

now, though still young In years.
Scattered up and down the great val

the late adherents Of Burr's broken
conspiracy. These liked not the on
coming Of the American government,
