TIE PRAIRIE.
BY L. G.. Green.

BY l.. q. Green.
There's "a land of fame and glory,
In the region we call west.
IT'S the land of the Dakotas,
In the Plain-lands of the west.
IT'S the land of Clark and Custer,
And the sturdy sons of yore,
That upon its plains once settled,
Heroes then, and evermore.
'Tis the land Of matchless bigness,
This great Empire of the west.
'Tis the land of Red and White men,
And the home of the oppressed.
Here the air is free and plenty,
And the breeze is full of pep.
While the storm clouds roll in splen-
dor,
Like battalions they keep step.
Here the visions not beclouded,
BY some unimpOrtant knolls,
But as far as eyes can travel,
Natures vastness on us rolls.
Oh! the sweep of these prairies,
AS they stretch SO far away,
Makes person feel the vigor,
OF his young and youthful days.
Give me then this land Of freedom
Where there's room enough tt
roam,
Here to live in Summers sunshine,
And drink in the plains ozone.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fai

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am twenty-one and have
been keeping company for two
years with a gentleman four
years my senior. We are not
engaged, but we are planning
to be married as soon as we
save enough money.
Is it right for him to tell me
where to go and where not to
go? He wants me to be seen
only with him. II I go to
parties without him he grows
angry.
l went to a wedding last
night, and we came near break
ing up. I know he loves me
very much, and he admits he is
jealous. 1 love him dearly but
he tries to boss me and 1 don't
know if that is right.
We are of different national
tiles and neither my people nor
his can speak English, so there
is no way of their getting in
any conversation at all. MY
father objects to my going with
him because of his nationality.
but we love each other.
BEBE.
UNLESS you are engaged
(Which Is not a matter OF a
ring. but of your mutually con-
fessed feelings), there is no rea,
son why you should not be free
to enjoy the friendship Of other
men and girls. But for your own
self-respect you ought not attend
all sorts of public functions. And

and know that he is saving money

you enjoy going about with this

always graceful-so, of course,
he would waltz gracefully.
She had heard someone speak
of "the poetry of notion"
Surely this was it! The waltz
was one of Chopin's with which
she was familiar. She had often
danced to it at affairs at Miss
Halls school.
But not like this. She closed
her eyes and felt as If her feet
scarcely touched the ground.
The mans strong arm held her
close and she seemed to float
with him on the waves of the
music. She had never known
such ecstacy of motion.
Shall we go out on the ve-
randa?"
The music and the encore were
ended. and the pair were near
the long front windows.
Yes"
He led her to a chair at the
far end Of the veranda. Then he
seated himself near her. When
he spoke his voice was very low
and sweet.
This is the most wonderful
experience 1 have had in years.
I feel as if I had stepped into
Paradise. Things have been going
badly in town. Some money l
put into something has been slow
in returns, through my trusting

murmured.
Suddenly he leaned toward her.
"That dance has moved me to
say what has been in my heart
for weeks, Winifred." he began.
He stopped abruptly as a hotel

The music was starting again,
and Richard held out his hand.
