( Dear Aunt Madge:-
| We passed northwesterly across WIS.,
/ eonsin and followed up the old Indian
| trail to the Mississippi river, crossing
which, the road keeps TO the river bank
for many miles, as rarely beautiful as
! the famous ride down the Hudson. At
Lake Pepin the river spreads out into
broad expanse. with lofty bluffs In
ing its shores. Indian tradition tells
OF lovelorn daughter of a great chief
who threw herself over a high cliff
which marks bald headland that has
ever since been called Maiden Rock.
Between the twin cities of st. Paul
and Minneapolis in Minnesota, close by
a picturesque boulevard drive, are
Minnehaha Falls-the land of Hiawa-
tina. This is the center Of region of
enchantment, rich in the charm and
romance of Indian legend and famed
for the beauty of its scenery. We saw
many large -four mills in ali of the
cities we passed through in Minnesota
The Standard oil CO. was well repre-
scented, too. Its large buildings and
tanks were scattered along the rail-
way in many places. We also saw
rich farming lands with many cattle
and hogs in the pastures Great fields
of wheat We're growing and simmer
ing in the sun. and there were great
piles Of coal at all the railroad stations.
Minnesota has many soft-coal mines.
The Dakotas came next, and In these
states be found long ranges of BLUFFS.
or "buttes," as they call them in the
West These bluffs are orange and red
in color a..

we crossed the Missouri river where

the bridge-bu.lding science, carries the
train across into what was, until re-
Gently, the Standing Rock indian reser-
walton, and is now a rapidly-growin
agricultural country that extends
through North Dakota and eastern
Montana, with it's wonderful story Of
development since this railroad pene-
trated those states-wonderfuI pictures
of new homes and farming on land
that generation ago was supposed to
be vaiueless for crops. but now known
to be of extraordinary fertility.
In these states we find the fat prai-
RE lands where there is the silence
that is of the starry skies. the sleep
that is of the lonely hills" The houses
were miles apart in some sections, and
we thought of the great loneliness
when the snow was piled high about
the houses and the coyotes howled out
side the corrals. The winters of 1919
and 1890 were very severe in Montana.
and many cattle persisted in the cold
and snow. We saw many skeletons
along the track,
In Harlowton. Montana the train
we were on was attached to the great

l wonder how many OF the country
people get the best out of it2 So very
many find the warm weather the
busiest time Of the year So often
work crowds out all that is restfuI and
helpful. Is it because plans are not
wisely made, or is Il that there is too
little of the long look ahead9
Do not true restfulness and the wise
use OF time depend on earnest looking
TO our heavenly Father for guidance?
Personally, so many hard places have
