Of the pioneers. Sing again the
creak of axles, the complaining slzit-
ter of dried-Out spokes in Unpainted
wheels, the creak of the yokes of the
oxen under the ponderous swaying
Of horned heads, the incessant swish
ing of tasseled tails against insect
pests, the crackle of squaW-WoOd in
the camps among the willows, the
Groom Of the mOther-Songs of valiant
women nursing babes whose golden
locks may. soon be drying in tepee-
smoke. The Indian attack, the ter
rifying war cry, the boom of the
, black-powder rifles and muskets, the
hOarse battle cries of the. Saxon, con-
quering, as he always has conquered,
that soil which once his foot has
pressed.
The lumber wagons piled high with
the golden tribute of the forests Of
the Atlantic or Pacific coasts; the
lonely homestead shack; the sod
barn; the .tireless stringing of barbed
wire and planting of posts; rocks dug
until hands become like horses
hooves; the kissing Of plows parting
the tough sod great billowing fields
of golden grain or blue-eyed flax.
Prosperity, riches, Ell Dorado!
Out of smiling skies, drouth and
hail, devastation and ruin, and the
retreat of the beaten and the dis
heartened, unfit to survive in semi
civilization, staggering back to cities,
to factories and sure-pay, corner gro
ceries, and police-protection, the
stragglers harried by the scouts Of
the small bandit banks of the North
west.

and sob of quivering strings, of the

accumulated wisdom of centuries;
daughters who sacrificed their fut-
ures to earn the family livelihood;
husbands who at length lay down in
the long furrow, their faces forward,
pushing ever forward, to work and
to win.
And into this great diapason will
creep a note of contentment. God is
in His heaven. By His strength are
the mountains of our faith set fast,
being girded with power. And the
noise Of the seas of hardship and tri-
bulation He stills,-with the noise OF
their waves, and the tumult of the
people. They that dwell in the utter
most parts are no longer afraid: the
outgoings of the morning and even
ing rejoice. The ridges of our fields
are watered, and their burrows are
settled and made soft with showers,
and the springing thereof is blest.

ly, indeed, is this ever accomplished,
and painfully, and with agony and
tears. But what was ever accom-
plished by hero OF by honey
bee without labor and without sacri-
flee? We count our treasures, every
one apart, valuing them only by what
they have cost us. And our fathers
loved the soil. Many died for it and
were buried in it. We love it, for
that love is in our blood. No land is
ever made safe for democracy or for
marquis wheat until it has been wat
cred with the blood and sweat of
heroes, and the tears of heroic
women. This has been the history
Of Our Country. And the history Of
this part of our Country is no differ

By toll and by conflict we conquer.
We stick: we win.
Americas Anthem.
Some one some day will put all this
into the form of great National
Anthem, which will have in it the
terrible, slow, swing of the Battle
Hymn of the Republic, the undying
enthusiasm of the Marseillaise; the
love of the Homeland which thrObs

to nation and to government which
marks God Save the King.
